"It's still cool in the cave!"

After moving back into the wooden house in the Snow Jade Cave, Lin Luo couldn't help but sigh.

In the state of constant temperature, the temperature in the Snow Jade Cave at this moment is only eighteen degrees at most, and it will not make people feel the slightest heat.

After a brief cleaning of the wooden house that he hadn't lived in for a long time, Lin Luo set off to the central area of the Snow Jade Cave.

There, there was a large wooden house, which was used for the meeting of the various clans, and it was also a simple meeting hall.

When Lin Luo arrived there, he found that the three witches had already been waiting there in advance.

After waiting for a while, the three chiefs were also busy with the relocation of their clansmen, and rushed here one after another.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhu Wu spoke: "This meeting is mainly to discuss the matter of smelting. ”

"Copper found?"

Hearing Zhu Wu's words, Lin Luo immediately asked out loud.

Finding ore veins to forge bronze weapons is also a major event for the tribal alliance, so naturally it can't be shelved forever.

Therefore, not long after the arrival of the growing season, the Tribal Alliance sent a team to carry the last seed, which was nurtured by the golden spirit himself.

A search of the mountains near the Valley of the Alliance began, looking for the presence of veins.

After such a long period of hard work, their results are also very good, and the first vein discovered is a lead mine.

This was obviously an unexpected surprise for Lin Luo.

Because, the bronze weapons they forged before were only smelted from two metals, copper and tin.

In fact, in the true strict sense, bronze should be smelted with three metals: copper, lead, and tin.

The bronze smelted in this way is harder than the bronze smelted simply with copper and tin.

Therefore, now that the lead ore has been found first, it indicates that they will be able to forge more powerful bronze weapons, which naturally makes Lin Luo very happy.

Not long after, the exploration team discovered a tin mine in the mountains near Menggu, which made Lin Luo see the dawn of success.

Immediately, the craftsmen of the tribal alliance built a series of furnaces on the open space set aside in advance as a smelting area, and prepared to cast bronze weapons.

However, until now, not even a single bronze weapon has been cast in the smelting area.

Because, in the days that followed, even though the exploration team carpeted and searched the mountains around the valley every day, they still did not find any signs of copper mines.

Therefore, seeing that Zhu Wu suddenly mentioned this matter at this moment, Lin Luo's first thought was naturally that the search team had found the copper mine.

However, the reality is always harsh.

"Nope. ”

Facing Lin Luo's inquiry, Zhu Wu shook his head slightly.

"Now, the search team has explored all the mountains around the valley and found no copper mines. ”

Hearing Zhu Wu's words, everyone suddenly fell silent with ugly faces.

After all, the absence of copper ore meant that they would no longer be able to forge bronze weapons.

"And what about going further afield?"

Soon, the fox chief asked with an unwilling face.

Today, the Tribal Alliance is using a number of bronze weapons.

From daily use, I fully understand the various advantages of bronze weapons.

Therefore, the fox chief naturally did not want to give up the casting bronze weapon like this.

"If the mine is too far away from Menggu, in the event of an attack, we simply won't be able to rescue in time. ”

Before Zhu Wu could speak, Lin Luo frowned slightly and said the disadvantages of being too far away.

After all, they weren't as powerful as the Vicious Tribe, and they could send a large number of totemic warriors to guard the mines.

Even if the mine is far away from the tribe, there is no need to worry about safety at all.

With the current strength of the Tribal Alliance, the totem warriors they can send are very limited, and they are simply unable to resist the attacks of other tribes or some powerful beasts.

Therefore, if you are not careful, the mine is very likely to be destroyed directly.

"That's right. ”

Zhu Wu also nodded in response, "That's why I propose a meeting to discuss whether to continue to explore further afield, or give up looking for copper mines for the time being." ”

"It's up to you to decide. ”

After Bamboo Witch's words fell, Deer Witch was the first to speak to show his attitude.

In fact, their Lu clan is purely playing soy sauce in this matter.

Because, now the main energy of their deer clan is all focused on breeding, and they have not participated in the affairs of the smelting area.

In the future, if they want to obtain bronze weapons, they must also use the flesh and blood of the fierce beast to trade with the two clans of Bamboo and Fox.

Therefore, they naturally have no say in this matter.

Seeing that the deer witch first stated that he would not participate in the discussion of this matter, the bamboo witch immediately set his eyes on the fox witch.

"I think we can continue to explore. ”

Looking at the gaze cast by the bamboo witch, the fox witch was silent for a few seconds before opening his mouth to express his attitude.

Because mining requires a lot of strong labor, and because the area is more dangerous than the Great River Basin, the mine must be protected by a team of totemic warriors.

And with the current strength of the Bamboo Clan, it is obvious that they cannot bear these alone.

Therefore, the current mining and smelting matter is still the same as before, and the two clans are working together.

Obviously, the attitude of the fox witch is that he doesn't want to give up like this.

"Lin Luo, what do you think?"

Seeing that the fox witch had expressed his position, the bamboo witch set his eyes on Lin Luo's body again.

"I also think it's a shame to give up like this. ”

Hearing Zhu Wu's inquiry, Lin Luo also said out loud.

After all, they have now found lead and tin ore, and both mines have already invested a lot of manpower in mining.

It's a shame to give up at this time.

As for the danger, there is no danger in this primitive world!

As long as the benefits can exceed the dangers, it will be worth it in Lin Luo's opinion.

"Okay, then continue to send someone to investigate. ”

Seeing that Lin Luo's attitude was the same as that of the fox witch, the bamboo witch also nodded in agreement with this choice.

"I'll lead the team to explore tomorrow!"

Immediately, Lin Luo opened his mouth again and took the initiative to take on the task of exploring.

He had just returned from a hunt in the jungle today, and it just so happened that there had been no hunting arrangements for the last few days.

Therefore, I plan to lead the team to explore in person.

"Good. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Wu did not object, and nodded lightly in agreement.
