Chapter 564 Site Selection

The people in the Qingque tribe seemed a little uneasy, and many people would involuntarily look to the west of the tribe while working.

They are looking forward to the early return of those who have gone out, or to be precise, the early return of the Son of God.

I don't know why, there is no god son in the tribe, even though they know that there is no tribe nearby that can cause great harm to their tribe, but they are not steady, and they feel as if there is a lot of something missing.

Bai Xuemei, who has a big belly, runs to the gate more times than Wu Du.

I don't like to weave much cloth anymore, and I come out to see it from time to time when I feed silkworms.

In fact, she wanted to go up to the wall to take a lookout, but she remembered that Brother Cheng didn't let her climb so high, so she had to change to the gate.

After looking here with anticipation for a while, the west was still calm, and Bai Xuemei, who was a little disappointed, turned around and went back to add mulberry leaves to the silkworms.

The size of this stubble of silkworms has almost grown, and it is about to be shed for the last time, and it eats a lot of food.

He turned and took two steps back, habitually turned his head to look to the west, and then a miracle happened.

On the path in the woods to the west, where there were no people just now, there were more people carrying burdens and deer carrying bags.

Slightly stunned, the happy Bai Xuemei hugged her stomach and ran towards that side briskly without saying a word.

"It's back! It's back! ”

After Bai Xuemei ran a distance, someone also found the returning team and shouted excitedly, so the Qingque tribe boiled.

"I'll go!"

Han Cheng walked at the front of the team with his burden, looking at the tribe that appeared in front of him, listening to the cheers of the people of the tribe because they returned, Han Cheng and the others in the team also smiled on their faces, and instantly felt that the hardships they had endured before were very worthwhile.

However, this good mood disappeared all of a sudden after discovering that the guy who threw others away with his stomach and didn't say a word and just ran this way with his head stuffy was Bai Xuemei.

Han Cheng said: "I'll go" exit, and rushed out of the team with the burden.

This stupid woman is getting more and more in arrears......

The Qingque tribe was beaming with joy, and bags of ore were poured out and stacked together, not a small pile.

These ores are extremely beautiful in the sunlight and attract more attention than ordinary stones.

Wu picked up a piece of translucent malachite and put it in front of his eyes, looked at the sunlight, and suddenly felt that the world became colorful.

Bai Xuemei, who was slapped twice on the head, followed Han Cheng like a kitten, unwilling to leave, she followed Han Cheng wherever she went, like a fart.

"Silkworms are dying of hunger."

Han Cheng helplessly pointed to the dustpan not far away to finish eating the mulberry leaves, and the hungry silkworm with his head held high said to Bai Xuemei.

This sticky guy left Han Cheng to feed the silkworms.

After feeding, he came to Han Cheng's side all the time.

Han Cheng had no choice but to smile helplessly, but he was still very useful in his heart.

Now that the copper ore is back, the next step is to refine the pure copper.

And to smelt copper, you need to make a smelting furnace first.

Han Cheng had never seen this kind of furnace, and he had never seen copper smelting, so he could only slowly grope for it.

Poured the ore he brought back to the ground, told Wu and the others about the situation and asked about what happened in the tribe during this period of time, told each other about parting, had lunch, and rested for a while, Han Cheng walked out of the tribe and called Heiwa, a guy who likes pottery, to walk outside the tribe together.

Of course, it wasn't about going out or anything, but looking for a suitable place to build a stove.

The furnace for copper smelting is best located downwind of the residential area and downstream of the river, which can reduce the impact of exhaust gases on people and the pollution of water sources by slag.

The terrain should be higher and farther away from the river, so as to reduce the dampness of the furnace and avoid being washed away by the river when the water rises.

After choosing, Han Cheng finally chose a place in the northwest of the tribe near the quarry.

The tribe has the most southeast winds here, and this is the downwind area, and it is far enough away from the river to be affected.

Because the ore transportation of the Qingque tribe is by land, the fact that it is far away from the river has little impact on the Qingque tribe.

This place is a small hill, the terrain is relatively high, the chance of dampness is small, and it is indeed a relatively ideal place to build a furnace.

After choosing the place, Han Cheng did not delay and immediately let people start construction.

First, a half-meter-wide pit was dug in a relatively high place in the gangbao, and the pit was covered with stone slabs.

In the middle of the place, a circular pottery plate with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters, the thickness of the pottery plate is more than 5 centimeters, and it is covered with round holes about 2 centimeters in diameter, like honeycomb coal.

The slate was covered with a thick layer of loess and clay before the stove began.

This can avoid moisture to the greatest extent, and at the same time, it can also ventilate and leak ash, so that the fire can burn more vigorously.

After getting the basics right, it's getting late, and the rest will have to wait until tomorrow.

Xiao Biesheng is newly married, Han Cheng is in the same year again, after listening to the child's movements at night, there is no need to talk about it in detail with Bai Xuemei.

The next day, he called Heiwa to continue to make the stove.

The stove has done a lot of such things, it is unbearable, someone is in charge of transporting bricks here, and before noon, a stove has been freshly baked, and a large vat is placed on it, and the copper smelting furnace of the Qingque tribe has also appeared.

It just looks a little too simple or child's play.

Han Cheng didn't have much to think about this, he was really unfamiliar with the matter of copper smelting, and he could only learn while fighting.

Get some firewood and put it in the newly trayed stove for drying and fire testing.

The stove was very successful, the fire was very strong, and in the afternoon, the stove was dried.

Wu, Senior Brother and the others couldn't wait to start practicing copper with the newly plated stove, wanting to see this metal as soon as possible.

Copper is not easy to deal with, and now it looks like a stove, and if you want to refine it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time.

Looking up at the sun in the west, Han Cheng still suppressed the impulse in his heart, and did not agree with what Wu and the others said, but asked people to transport the copper ore in the courtyard here.

At the same time, a shed was built out of tree trunks and other things to cover the stove.

It can make the stove less exposed to wind and rain, and at the same time, you can store some charcoal under this shed, and in case of windy and rainy weather, there is a shed, and you can continue to smelt copper here without any influence.

Before it got dark, the copper ore and charcoal had already been delivered, and the shed was being built according to Han Cheng's requirements, and it would be good in three days at most.

With the increase in population and the increase in proficiency, the speed of the people of the Blue Sparrow tribe when they do these things again is not what it used to be.
