Chapter 317: Iron Ore

There is snow all around, and it tastes okay when the snow melts, although it still has a bit of an earthy smell, and it doesn't taste as good as fresh water.

However, we came here to collect firewood, and there was no way to bring water, but fortunately we brought a mud pot and simply cleaned the wild vegetables that had been frozen and wilted in the snowdrifts around us, and then put them in the pot, and put some shell meat and boiled some soup, which tasted good.

The bonfire was very eager, and Wang Ping's face eased a lot as he sat on the side.

"I thought it would be very sad this winter, but through the efforts of all of us, there was no danger, but all this is still thanks to the four seas, if it weren't for you to lead our big guys, we wouldn't even have a goal so far. ”

I looked at Wang Ping and shook my head: "This is all the credit of everyone, how can it all be attributed to me?" But let's get it quickly, and go back to stay here as soon as we finish it, after all, it's cold." ”

Several gringos also nodded their heads again and again, warming up their bodies while eating the soup in the pot, while sighing comfortably.

When we had finished eating and were about to clean up the bonfires, Wang Ping sighed, and then I saw him crouching down and plucking the bonfire with a stick. The expression on his face was puzzled and curious.

While flipping, he turned his head to look at me: "Sihai, what do you think this is?"

Another male colleague heard the movement, and hurriedly came over to take a look and then pouted.

"It's a stone, it's just a red-hot stone, I used to eat this kind of stone barbecue when I was in the city, that is, the stone is burned hot, and then oil is poured on it, and the taste of the meat slices on top is quite unique. ”

After he finished speaking, several male colleagues next to him swallowed their saliva at the same time, after all, although we hunted a big white bear during this time, we have always been reluctant to eat the meat, and we are afraid that one day if the heavy snow covers the mountain and we are trapped in the camp and can't get out, it will be even more difficult to get hungry.

Hearing him say this at this time, it was indeed a bit gluttonous.

But Wang Ping didn't say anything, and I lowered my head, and after looking at it twice, I realized that there was a red-burned stone, which obviously looked like iron.

And another gringo with an axe also came over at this time, Wang Ping put the thing on a stone, and the gringo took the axe and smashed it twice, and the red lump like a stone really changed a little.

Wang Ping's face was happy, and I couldn't help but be surprised, if iron ore was really found in this place, then our affairs would be turned upside down.

First of all, we can make a lot of weapons, and we can make an iron pot, which always heats up faster than a clay pot, and is more practical.

The main thing is that as long as we have weapons in our hands, nothing else matters.

Even if those natives dare to come and attack again, then if they are all cold weapons, we will not have too much advantage.

And these knives and these axes and blades in our hands are very depleted, and if there is really iron ore in this piece, then we can do many, many things.

Wang Ping raised his head and looked at me several times, but the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed.

And I was a little excited, I didn't expect that this was simply a natural straight boat to the bridge.

I was worried about it before, but now my worries have disappeared, and I quickly and carefully dialed the iron again, and I couldn't help but be excited.

"Don't look for firewood first, let's see if there are anything like this around here, let's pick up some things first, if we can really build weapons!

"Yes, as long as we can find iron, we can build a ship, although it may take a long time, but there is always hope!"

The big guys were immediately attracted by my tone, and all of them put down the dry wood they had just collected in their hands, and began to collect these similar stones.

I can't justify these stones, but after picking up a few pieces, I gradually came to my senses.

That is, the amount of light of this ore is more visible than that of stone.

We picked up a lot of rocks and threw them all into the bamboo basket we were carrying when we came.

After going back all the way, the camp had already started to cook food, and when they saw us coming back, Xiao Qiang and the others hurriedly smiled and took a look.

"This firewood is not easy to pick up now, and it is not convenient to go out with such a big snow, I think this firewood is enough for two days, so let's save a little use, you don't have to work so hard." ”

Wang Ping smiled and waved his hand at Xiao Wall.

"Even if you don't go out to collect firewood this time, you have to go out and pick up something else, little sister-in-law, you quickly put up that bonfire, we can forge weapons by ourselves now!"

Xiao Qiang was stunned when she heard Wang Ping say this, and then looked at me with a puzzled expression.

I smiled and nodded, and told Xiao Qiang about the iron ore we found there.

Xiao Qiang's eyes also showed joy after hearing this: "Really, if that's the case." Then we can build a ship and get out of here, shall we?"

I nodded, and left the place, literally sick of my heart.

This is true, but if you want to strike iron, I'm afraid it's a little difficult.

The temperature of the iron must be very high, and our current campfire is obviously not able to, so I am afraid that we will have to build another furnace or earthen kiln in the next two days, anyway, I don't understand this thing.

After a brief tidying up, we will work harder because we will go back to the beach to get the dirt from the other side.

The clay over there can be burned into a clay bowl, so it shouldn't be difficult to build a clay kiln.

In the evening, we finished eating, and Wang Ping and they planned tomorrow's actions in detail, and then we all went to bed early.

The next day, just after dawn, Wang Ping had already come to call me, we packed up the car and tools, and went to the beach with the big guys.

After tossing back and forth for three or four days, I finally prepared all the dirt to be used, and the next thing was to do the work of these iron blocks.

These pieces of iron are very hard, but after they are put in the kiln, they do not change at all, and they are still in the same way.

Chen Jian was a little anxious, saying that the temperature might not be enough, but now in this situation, how can he achieve the temperature at which this iron can melt?
