Jiang Wan also grew her mouth in surprise at this time, took the stone and looked at it carefully in her hand.

Wei Shaoyu and the others looked at her nervously.

"I ...... too Not sure, but the only way to verify it is to take a look at it. ”

Although Jiang Wan was excited, she couldn't be completely sure, she was afraid that she was wrong, and after giving everyone hope, if she didn't, she would become a sinner.

"Okay! I'll process it right away!"

Jiang Shaoyuan took the ore and prepared to melt it.

In fact, they used to have earthen kilns for firing clay and pottery, which could produce charcoal, a higher heat fuel for them.

And they used to have an earthen blast furnace for firing sand to make lime mortar.

Although all of these are available, it is still difficult to fire copper.

The melting point of copper is close to 1100 degrees, and in order to be successfully fired, the closure of this clay blast furnace must be absolutely excellent, so Jiang Shaoyuan used the method of smoke to test the pores, and repaired the clay blast furnace several times, and only after confirming that there was absolutely no problem did he throw the smashed stones into a thick small pottery barrel.

Although Wei Shaoyu couldn't test the temperature, they burned continuously for six hours.

The stone finally melted.

After observing the melting through the observation port, they smashed a set gate valve at the bottom of the small clay bucket inside.

The copper water successfully emerged from the water outlet through the passage in the furnace and fell into a large clay pot that had already been fed at a temperature.

After the copper water solidified, Wei Shaoyu and the others were ecstatic.

It's really copper!

The clansmen didn't know what was going on with the red scary and scary water, and they hid far away one by one.

After the copper came out, Ze watched Wei Shaoyu and Wanwu Yuanwu and others hug each other excitedly.

Ze was very puzzled, pointing to the gradually solidifying copper block, he was very surprised to see that the stone was so big when it went in, and so small when it came out.

"Wu, what is this, why are you all so happy?"

Wei Shaoyu patted Ze hard and gave him a big hug.

"This is an era. ”

Yes, with copper, they could go straight from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.

All their tools, their weapons, will be revolutionary.

Bronze, as an alloy of copper and lead or tin, is much harder than brass, and if used as a weapon, it can definitely make the primitive tribe directly upgrade to an era level.

Wei Shaoyu, the source of lead and tin, is not worried, and minerals have associated elements, including gold, silver, tin, lead, etc.

This rainforest may be devoid of crops, but it is by no means short of natural mineral deposits.

Otherwise, Bai Xiaoyue wouldn't have been able to find gold at the bottom of the river before.

"Uncle Jiang, you can take the time to make a few wooden wheeled carts these days, so that we can transport ore back, although it is not far, but it still needs to be mined. ”

The next hardest part is probably mining the ore.

Probably the only tool for mining ore at the moment is a fire axe.

Wei Shaoyu took out all the fire axes in the wreck, and there were only three.

As for the pots and pans that Chen Chuanzhong took out, they were all made of stainless steel and could not be reused, and the number of iron tools was far from enough, so now they had to melt all the iron energy and make it into tools such as hammers or pickaxes to help with mining.

"In addition to the problem of mining, there is also the problem of firing, we also need several more earthen blast furnaces, the volume of the clay barrels in each furnace is limited, and we can make a maximum of one barrel every six hours, but this barrel can be made into one weapon at most. And the charcoal consumed in this furnace takes us more than a whole day to burn. ”

Jiang Shaoyuan said with some concern.

If you want to continue smelting copper, you must have charcoal, and if you want charcoal, then the time for each furnace of copper water to go from ore to furnace will take at least two days.

"Increase the earth blast furnace?" Wei Shaoyu frowned slightly.

He knew about the earthen blast furnace, and they worked together for a whole week.

And even if one or two more earth blast furnaces are added, it doesn't seem to be able to catch up with the next black beast herd.

For a while, everyone was a little silent.

Now that the raw materials are available, smelting has become a big problem.

But after thinking for a while, Wei Shaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"There it is!"

......

It's night, Tribal Camp Three.

An old man who was out of place with the people around him sat under a big tree.

Bang dang.

A plank was thrown in front of him, and the flesh on the board jumped up and flipped to the side, half of which was covered with dirt on the ground.

The old man slowly lowered the scepter in his hand.

He is the second witch of this tribe.

Most of the two witches of the tribe were snatched during the tribal conquest, and they were originally the leaders of other tribes.

Therefore, the main witch of each tribe must suppress the two witches, once they make their status high, then they may lead people to rebel at any time, so the status of the two witches in the tribe is generally very low.

At this time, the second witch didn't notice at all, just above his piece of food, a wasp was holding the empty tube of a small plant, and a few drops of juice flowed out of it, evenly smeared on the piece of meat.

The second witch put the scepter away, turned around and picked up the roasted half-cooked barbecue, and carefully wiped the soil on it, then put it in his mouth and tore it laboriously, took two bites, and sighed again.

In the war of aggression of the No. 3 tribe, his people were killed and wounded, he watched his people die in front of him but could not do anything, as a witch, it was his shame to be caught in the tribe as a second witch.

If it weren't for the fact that he would rather die than designate a clansman to pass on to their tribe, he would have died long ago.

When a tribe catches a witch from another tribe, the best option is naturally for this witch to pass on his magic power to his tribe's people.

And Wudu has wisdom beyond ordinary people, they know that once they do this, they really don't have the last bargaining chip, and all that awaits them is death, so they would rather die than refuse to pass it on.

And the tribe often does not dare to kill the witch, let it be passed on randomly, the first is that the witch has wisdom once it is inherited, and the person who inherits the witch power, if you don't admit it, you don't know who the inheritance falls on, which will be a huge threat.

The second is a random inheritance, the magic power of this inheritance will change, for example, you are a witch of fire magic, assigned to someone to pass it on, or fire magic, but if you are killed inheritance, then it may be randomly changed to any kind of witchcraft, this uncertainty is not what the tribe likes.

That's why the two witches have been able to survive until now.

But before the meat in the hands of the two witches was finished, he suddenly felt a cramping pain in his abdomen, and he suddenly reached out to cover his stomach, and the barbecue meat in his hand fell to the ground with a click......
