Every one of thee tam has levelled up once, they also have five weapons now. So they decided to not just focus on leveling up and think about more things.
As they were talking, Charlotte suggested that they should make a base for themselve, as they were living in the cave. They all agreed on that point.
But there are many things they have to consider in order to make a base. They need to find a place where no monster would attack them and aliens can't find them. They need a place that's near a river. There are many things to look at.
They put that work for later as they need to do many other things before making thor base.
There was still some time left before night arrived, so they decided to go check if the new weapon they got would be able to help in breaking the ores they found. They decided to call that ore mytherium.
They at least needed that much mytherium that can moult and craft into a pickaxe. When they arrived at the cave Ayan and John started breaking the ore in turns. In every strike they use their full power but because they use the wrong tool, they can barely break the walls of that cave.
They were able to break the amount they required after one hour of grinding. After collecting them, they went to their cave. They still have to make the plasma furnace to melt the ores. There are many things to do like crushing, grinding, concentration, calcinating or roasting and after that it comes to smelting or reduction.
Haruto and Kaito were making plasma furnaces and others were doing the things needed before starting smelting, they also needed to make mould of pickaxe where they give shape and bricks for making plasma furnace chambers. As the night was going they had almost completed half of the work.
They went to sleep after eating dinner as they will continue this work in the morning. Next day they didn't go hunting and decided to complete the work. They need to burn fire to cook the mould and bricks.
They need to make a cart from wood. But the problem was that the trees of this planet were so tall and thick that cutting them would be a lot of hustle. But a work is a work they need to do so they start cutting the tree. It takes them two hours to chop that tree.
After chopping that tree they start cutting them into shapes to craft the tree. The tree of this world was the only thing that was similar to the earth. The trees can be cut into shape using normal tools that they bring from earth.
They took all day to make everything. Plasma furnace, pickaxe mould and cart. After some time of rest they started to molt the mytherium ores. When it was almost night they completed the melting of mytherium ores. As they don't have many tools to craft pickaxes, they made whole pickaxe, even the handle with mytherium. They were only able to make one pickaxe.
Night finally ended as they went to sleep after finishing all the work. There was a lot of work, and some of the work was very hard.
When they woke up next in the morning, they had their usual training drill and breakfast. They have decided that not all of them will go for the hunt as not all of them have weapons and it takes more time moving in groups.
They come to a conclusion, the two strongest in the group, Ayan and John who were well trained in martial arts from childhood will be the leaders. Their team members won't be fixed. They have five weapons so the three of them will only go to hunt and rest will be in another team.
Two people with weapons will be protecting the rest of them when they work in the mine. And when the number of weapons increases they will increase members in hunting group.
After their meeting they load the plasma chamber and tools in the cart and pull it toward the mine. They need more pickaxes as fast as they can so they decided to take the plasma chamber into the mines.
There might be risk if some monster enters the mines hearing the voice of mining. Pulling the cart while walking takes more time than usual as they don't have an engine fit into it or not like the ancient times where people used animals to pull the carts.
After arriving in the mine they used pickaxe to check what it's capable of and whether it was strong enough to break the ores. When John hit it with all his might, a large portion of the ores broke. The pickaxe was more than capable of breaking the ores.
They used a boulder to cover the entrance of the cave so that less noise would go outside, so they left some space to let air come inside. And when all the preparation was over, Ayan's team went hunting while the others were in mine.
The Ayan team has Haruto and Zhi ming. John and Luca were staying in the mine for the safety of the group in the mines.
One engineer nead to stay in the cave if something happens to plasma furnace and that was Kaito.
Plasma furnaces were a very dangerous thing. They might have achieved the desired temperature but one mistake in using it can kill them.
The goal of the hunting group is to hunt three monsters before the night comes. So instead of walking to find monster they ran
Due to the leveling up the pain due to age have slightly decreased and their joints are more smoothly functioning, half of it was also because they are training in martial arts.
After searching for half an hour they finally found a monster. The process of finding monster was faster than before.
