Chapter Twenty-Seven: The First Copper Smelting
After the blessing was completed, the clansmen of the White Wolf Gathering Place and the Qingxi Gathering Place were only allowed to stay for one day.
The next day, after praying to Liang Tian rain or shine, Zhuhu and Yan also took their people on the way back.
However, the witch of Qingxi did not return with a large army. He stayed in the holy place, learning how to sacrifice from the old witch doctor, and on the other hand, he also had the selfish thought that "I will stay with my lord, and my lord will see me every day." I wonder if it will give me new knowledge in the same way that I gave the old witch doctor. ”
This is what he desires. But he didn't expect that Liang Tian didn't notice him at this time.
The white wolf walked to the rock cliff with the steps of a divine horse, and his eyes followed the white wolf to the rock cliff at this moment.
At this time, Rock Cliff is about to become the fourth gathering place of the Giant Tree Tribe.
He had also been blessed twice and became the new chieftain, and was on his way with three hundred men and five hundred slaves who had been given to him.
Therefore, at this time, the rock cliff that was once the last gathering place of the Viper tribe could not help but look a little desolate.
The white wolf then condensed and appeared here, and the sudden appearance of the wolf shadow startled all the crows in the treetops, and at the same time, he also took graceful steps to another low hill behind the side of the rock cliff tribe gathering place.
"Roaring !!"
Suddenly, he opened his big mouth for no reason, spit out a few wind blades to the ground, and smashed the low mountain under his feet into a mess of rocks, and smoke and dust danced everywhere.
So the white wolf opened his mouth again and spit out the wind, and then blew away all the smoke and dust around him.
"Sure enough, this is really a copper mountain!"
Borrowing the eyes and ears of the white wolf, seeing what the white wolf saw, Liang Tian couldn't help laughing. Since the time travel, the miscellaneous knowledge and memories of his previous life seem to have been engraved into his brain.
A few days ago, after a casual glance at the last battle between the Giant Tree Tribe and the Viper Tribe, Liang Tian felt that the stones in the low mountain behind the side of the rock cliff gathering place were a bit like copper ore.
So today, I deliberately asked the white wolf to come to confirm, and found that I was not mistaken.
This surprised Liang Tian. With these easy-to-mine copper ores, with a little guidance, the Giant Tree Tribe could enter the Bronze Age.
In that way, whether it is force or productivity, the tribe will be greatly improved. Liang Tian can also use this to gain more power of faith.
But since the ninety-nine green fruits were scattered everywhere, the power of faith provided by believers would be quietly divided away by these green fruits.
Although each one has very little profit, the ninety-nine green fruits are added together, and the power of faith that is divided is considerable. This made Liang Tian feel full for a long time. Sometimes you can also become restless.
He feared that one day the mighty beasts in the jungle would suddenly come out, and he was also afraid that some unstoppable creatures would suddenly descend on this land one day.
After all, this is a fantasy world after all. No one knows what else exists in this world.
The believers of the tribe are his greatest dependence, and the stronger the tribe becomes, the safer Liang Tian becomes. In this regard, their interests are highly aligned.
Because of this, when the dwarf copper mountain was discovered, two devout disciples were selected from the white wolf and the newly established rock cliff gathering place to be witches through dreams.
On a snowy night, Liang Tian put a picture that he had sorted out directly into the head of an ordinary tribesman.
This tribesman is a person who knows how to fire pottery.
He was originally a slave of the Viper tribe, but later gained freedom in one war after another. And get a wife and livestock, have a strong centripetal force for the tribe, and are extremely in awe of the god of the giant tree who guards the tribe.
Every time he prayed to Liang Tian, his tone and expression were the most solemn.
Liang Tian chose him for this reason. It was only the sudden appearance of metallurgical images in his sleep that frightened him, and he did not calm down until a majestic figure suddenly appeared in his sleep and nodded at him.
"Tao, don't forget everything about Fang Cai, you will bring change to the tribe!"
Liang Tian transformed himself into the appearance of a statue, but he used white light to cover his face so that it was difficult for people to see clearly.
But his words still shocked Tao in front of him, and he nodded in awe.
So Liang Tian's figure dissipated, and Tao also woke up from the dream.
Then he remembered what he had just done, and suddenly got up from the bed.
"What's wrong, you don't sleep at night?"
The wife next to him was awakened by him, and the woman who was pregnant for six months seemed a little unhappy.
But Tao was stunned like a fool, until his wife next to him frowned and shook his hand, then he suddenly turned his head to look at his wife and said, "I dreamed of God!"
"What!"
His wife was taken aback by his words. The first reaction was that I felt that my husband was going crazy because of a nightmare.
But Tao said excitedly: "That's right. God said to me that I would bring about change in the tribe!"
......
That night, before dawn, the leader of the gathering place was woken up. And by the next day, all the tribesmen and slaves in the whole gathering place were busy.
They cut timber and dug stones from the low hills behind the sides. For ten days, the flames in the cliff gathering place were never extinguished.
So on the afternoon of the tenth day, the tribe got the first batch of copper they had smelted.
The excited gathering place Xinwu offered these shoddy copper as treasures to Liang Tian, and placed them on the altar in front of Liang Tian's statue as sacrifices.
Then the news of the success of copper smelting spread like the wind throughout the tribe. Messenger, Bamboo Tiger, and Eye all sent more clansmen and slaves to the cliff.
This is the knowledge that God has imparted. The copper we refine will make weapons that are lighter and sharper than stone. With it, our tribe will never be defeated again, and we will be strong forever. ”
Tao, who has received the knowledge impartation, is proud at the moment.
Because of copper smelting, his status in the tribe is now rising. Therefore, he vigorously promoted the benefits of copper smelting.
However, the copper that is being refined today is still too shoddy, in short, it is not usable at all.
The clansmen who came from afar often frowned when they looked at these copper materials.
Obviously, if this technique was not taught by Liang Tian, it would never have been possible to make such waves. Tao also understands this, and can't help but secretly make up his mind that he must refine more high-quality copper.
So just another month later, after continuous experimentation, the first batch of copper weapons of the Giant Tree Tribe was finally released.
Tao and his two assistants, in total, refined and crafted ten short swords. Because the copper material is relatively brittle, the experience and technology of the pottery are also relatively poor. Therefore, the longest of the short swords is only thirty or forty centimeters.
Obviously, this kind of sword cannot be used for chopping, but can only be stabbed from the beginning.
But even so, after the ten bronze swords were created, they were still presented by Tao Ru to the leader of the gathering place, Ji and the witch named Longbeard.
