As Elias finished reading, he has a satisfied smile. It's part of the report he will be submitting to the Bonus Mission.

He walked to his modern Crucible that was on a mechanical structure and turned the wheel on it right, which tilted the Crucible and poured the melted Iron in it into a Steel Cup with a long side handle. 

Elias held the handle and poured it into the Casting Wood Mould. 

He repeated that until he poured away all the Melted Iron.

Then he threw more Wure Soaked Charcoal on a Sheet of Steel with numerous tiny holes, that was placed on a rectangular Black bowl. The Bowl was made of Steel but in and out was reinforced by Solid Ash and flattened Charcoal. 

All those were under the Crucible and the added Wure Soaked Charcoal ignited more blazing ember. It's the FURNACE!

Seeing everything was going fine, he left the Forge and went to his underground room to eat his nutrient solution.

Elias Island has transformed into some sort of scrap yard and factory. On one side was old metal he was going to recycle on and the other side was the new equipment he made.

And the moment the equipment didn't meet his expectation following the 8 properties of steel he wanted, they would be thrown to the scrap section.

But that wasn't what made it different, it was that it had become a Weapon Barricade. Everywhere you look there are Hammers, Daggers, Knives, Swords, Spears or Arrows.

At the centre of the Island above his underground room was a rigid building, his Bunker, where he placed a Siege Weapon. A Giant Bow and an Arrow were knocked on and there were over thirty other arrows beside it ready to be knocked.

And just at the building wall was a compartment where there were more arrows. Every damn day, Elias makes more arrows, adding to the arsenal!

At the opposite of the Forge, there was another weapon of similar calibre. A bit smaller but it was a crossbow attached to a pillar. Attached to it was a seat and steering and a manning mechanism that Elias can seat and control the Crossbow.

Not only that, the Automatic Crossbow has 10 arrows that can be shot by just pulling the Trigger. 

This one gave Elias a headache to make. And even after he made it, replicating it became hard. And it is the only one that held on after the experiment.

The mechanism was extremely mobile which was how he wanted it, but it was too heavy. 

The other Crossbows he made break easily. 

At the edge of the round Island, Elias arranged two-meter-long spears with sharp heads. Their bottom was embedded in the ground and the sharp side faced the sky. 

He also connected them all with barbed wire from top to bottom. This was for any unexpected marine creature jumping to the Island.

However... the whole observable Weapons on the Island—weren't even 10% of the ones Elias buried Underneath The Sand!

Elias also has been cultivating the Art of Sound!

Since nothing he does can bring him back his eyesight. Not even the Wand knew what to do, it always showed the usual [No Enough Information].

And whenever he used water to wash his face his eyes pained him. He even crazily used the Wure liquid again, his eyes didn't hurt but they didn't open either. He even used the White Sand, it was all useless.

Without anything to try, Elias sighed in defeat and began the Art of Sound! 

Another thing was he asked for his Famish Survival Techniques and a book was presented to him. 

The 30cm x 10cm book has a hardcover and Elias reinforced it with string light metal. 

The book contained illustrations of the human body and some symbols that might be explaining the illustrations. Deep down Elias felt he might know the symbols but alas, it was his mind playing deja vu.

But after he asked for the translation Wand, he was told that he doesn't have the eyesight to read them. That frustrated him.

But he wasn't the one to be defeated easily, Elias forced himself to memorize the human illustrations and the symbols which prove problematic.

Yes, the human drawings were easily discerned in Elias' mind and he was able to make sense of some of them. There were also plant illustrations which described how to make some food and he understood some of it using the drawing.

Using them as a guide he crudely made Nutrient Solutions. It wasn't much of a step as all he had to do was to recognise what plant material was and then focus his mind on Abinci Grass to make it transform into that by smell and by taste.

If he needs a tomato. He will squash the grass and use water to make a paste all the while keeping in his mind it was tomatoes that were kept for half an hour, and he will see the results.

The smell and taste will all be tomatoes. In fact, he can even feel the tiny seed of tomatoes in his mouth.

Through this, the only thing he can't replicate was meat or any animal products such as eggs.

The Famish Book has a lot of descriptions of animal flesh, organs and products such as eggs in particular. In fact, almost every food description has an egg in it.

He selected the few dishes in which he recognised the plant ingredients and made a nutrient solution using the guide. Whether it was right or wrong, he doesn't know but he still felt a little different.

There was also a Yoga practice, well that was what he considered it to be. It is a set of stretches and bents. Then there were light and heavy exercises. He took the light ones and practised.

Reading using Omni-view gave him a headache all the time but he was able to gain insight and also achieve some results. It was because of it he was able to increase his stamina.

Elias slumped on the chair, inside his Bunker and brought out two silver containers. He poured one into the plate which was semi-solid food. And it was pleasing to the tongue.

The other one is more watery and it was his drinkable solution. He didn't like it much because it tasted weird. 

But if the semi-liquid food made him have a full stomach for a day, then the Drinkable Solution kept him going for a day without fatigue. In other words, increased his stamina.
