Chapter 013: The Great Ringing Ape Tribe
"Great Spirit, I have received your will. ”
Early in the morning, as soon as the goddess Wu Yun had finished praying in the temple, she received instructions from the maggot god.
She slowly walked out of the temple and told the oracle to the priest Wuzhu.
Soon, all the clansmen of the Black Snake Tribe gathered together.
"According to the instructions of the gods, there are copper mines in the mountains three miles away in the southwest of our tribe. Except for all the tribesmen who were stationed outside the tribal territory, the rest went with me into the mountains to mine. ”
Wu Zhu conveyed the oracle, and the goddess Wu Yun took the old, weak, sick and disabled of the clan to garrison the tribe, and the snake female guards and young and middle-aged people were sent to the mining area.
The mining of copper ore is not difficult, but it is a challenge for the people of the Black Snake Tribe, after all, they don't even have a decent tool, and can only rely on a hammer and pick made of stone to smash it, and the mining efficiency is very low.
Fortunately, there is a first-order zero-level innate martial artist leading the team, and when encountering a more difficult problem, Wu Zhu will personally take action and use martial arts to forcibly break through the hard mountain, so that the mining work can go smoothly.
Although Wu Yun of the tribe led people to garrison the territory, she was not idle, she not only obtained the location of copper ore from Qu Shen, but also learned the mining and smelting technology of copper ore.
When Wuzhu and his party went out to mine, she took the snake female guards and the remaining labor force to build a simple copper ore smelting device in the tribal territory.
Seven days later, the first copper ore was transported back to tribal territory.
After praying to the gods, Uyun solemnly threw the copper ore into a furnace that burned with a hot flame.
As the ore melts, copper water flows out.
"Copper!
"Great! We'll be able to use bronze in the future!"
"Thank you to the great gods for this!"
When the people of the Black Snake Tribe saw the smelted copper water for the first time, they were very excited, and they cheered and were extremely excited.
Bronze artifacts are not uncommon on the Kyushu continent, but they are very rare objects for these scattered tribes who are struggling to survive in the most remote corners of the southwestern part of the wasteland.
The terrain here is complex, surrounded by mountains, everywhere is very depressed, a scene of poor mountains and bad waters, not suitable for the spread of civilization at all, and it is difficult to be influenced by external civilizations, everything still retains the most primitive appearance.
It is no exaggeration to say that the scientific and technological civilization mastered by these tribes is still in the very primitive Stone Age. Everyone was wrapped in animal skins, holding stones and wooden blocks and fighting with each other.
The limitations of civilization and geography make none of them have the ability and consciousness to master higher technology.
In this way, the bronze smelting technology brought by Qu Shen to the Black Snake Tribe has absolute cross-era significance!
With this copper water, the people of the Black Snake tribe can model it and pour it into a variety of practical bronze tools, which means that they have smoothly transitioned from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.
Faith is strengthened again in this moment.
Through the Godhead, Qu Shen can see that the power of faith provided to him by those believers has been slightly improved, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.
The power of faith is the power of God.
The strength of a god depends on how much faith he has.
10,000,000, 100,000,000,000,000,000,......000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00
The higher the magnitude, the stronger the divine power, and in terms of the power of faith that Qu Shen now has, he is still just a junior god who is not even at the level of 10,000, and there is no difference between him and Meng Xin.
The copper ore smelting work is in full swing, and with the birth of the first bronze pickaxe, more and more bronzes have been manufactured by the black snake tribe.
The first copper ores, mainly made into bronze pickaxes and hoes, were given priority to those who mined in the mountains.
The miners who switched to bronze pickaxes and mine hoes were equivalent to a shotgun exchange, and their productivity was significantly improved, and after experiencing the benefits and convenience brought by bronze firsthand, they were full of energy and worked hard in the pits!
Their hard work and sweat were all turned into baskets of copper ore, which were continuously transported to the tribal territory.
负责打造青铜器的学徒们,拥有了这么多的矿石资源,炼器水平在不断摸索和改进中,由最开始的不会,到渐渐摸到门路,最终达到了熟能生巧的地步。
The bronze utensils made by their hands have also changed from the original four dissimilarities to beautiful and practical.
Bronze mining tools, bronze pots and pans, bronze weapons, all of them were brought out. If it weren't for the lack of copper ore, they would even plan to replace the gates of their realm with bronze.
In the wasteland, there are many tribes, and the black snake tribe is mining and refining copper with such fanfare, so it is naturally impossible to achieve complete secrecy, and it didn't take long to attract the attention of the surrounding tribes.
Five miles away from the Black Snake Tribe is the territory of the Great Singing Aptan Tribe.
The gorilla tribe worships the god of giant apes, they look like gorillas, their bodies are covered in hair, their arms are slender, their legs are short, and every great gorilla, male or female, has a strong physique with sharp fangs.
They can temporarily increase their desire to fight and increase their abilities by hammering themselves in the chest and roaring loudly, a race known for their strength.
The patriarch of the Great Singing Orang tribe, Wukong, looked up at the hills in the distance, and could vaguely see that there were some figures with human bodies and snake tails, constantly shuttling and busy.
He looked puzzled and said, "The nearby black snake tribe abandoned by the gods sends people to beat in the mountains every day, I don't know what kind of fame they are doing?"
"Hui Patriarch, according to the information sent back by the clansmen, they are digging stones in the mountains!" a Ringing Gorilla responded.
"Oh, digging stones?"
"I don't know, but when they dug the stones back from the mountains, they threw them into a huge furnace where the fire was burning and the smoke was billowing out, and our people didn't dare to get too close and didn't understand what they were doing. ”
"Stone, furnace, smoke?" Gorilla Wukong whispered these three key words, he seemed to think of something that remained in the depths of his memory, only to see him frown slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Are they making bronzes?"
"Bronze, what's that?" the clansman next to him was puzzled.
"Bronze is a very amazing substance, its hardness is comparable to that of stone, and it also has a strong toughness, and after careful polishing, it can become very sharp, and if it is used to make weapons, it is very lethal!"
