Chapter 154: Surprise
The successful hatching of this little dinosaur really made the tribe lively for a while, Wang Lang carefully checked the other dragon eggs, but there was no sign of hatching, and he couldn't help but worry in his heart, if only one hatched, then it would not be of much use to himself, because he could not guarantee that this dinosaur would successfully survive to adulthood.
"There can't be just one dragon egg with so many dragon eggs, this hatching rate is too low." Wang Lang said secretly.
In desperation, Wang Lang can only observe these dinosaur eggs for a few days, even if the dragon eggs in the same litter are hatched at different times, theoretically speaking, there will not be too long of difference, if there is still no reaction after a few days, then you can be sure that those eggs are dead eggs.
After the little dinosaur was full, he lay on the ground and gradually fell asleep, and everyone looked at it for a while, and then went back to rest, although everyone's heart was very excited, but there were still many things to do tomorrow, and it was impossible to stay here all night.
The next day, Wang Lang arranged for several women to take care of the little dinosaur, and they continued to make molds, and in one morning, more than a dozen molds were made.
The preparations for making bricks are going well, and so far nothing has been too difficult.
In the afternoon, Wang Lang estimated that the charcoal had almost been burned, and after a day of burning, the mud-backed charcoal kiln had become very hard, and the sound of the wooden stick hitting on it could be heard.
Calcination at high temperatures, Wang Lang estimated that the inside of the charcoal kiln had been pottery.
A half-man-high entrance was made to the wall of the kiln with daggers, and after a while of the smell, the men cleaned out the charcoal that had been burned inside, and put it in rattan baskets.
This time, the charcoal burned filled more than 30 rattan baskets, and some unburned wood was also taken out, and only a small part of a large pile of wood was not carbonized, and this time the firing can be said to be very successful.
And with this charcoal, it will be enough to make pottery and smelt copper in the future.
With the charcoal kiln as the roof of the brick kiln, all that remains is to start digging.
Wang Lang chose a place and arranged for three people to dig diagonally down along the line he had drawn.
The rest of the people are going to make brick embryos, Wang Lang doesn't know what clay is used for professional brick making, but now he can only use ordinary clay to make them.
Everyone carried the basket on their backs, carrying rattan baskets to the river to collect soil, this time the brick kiln, Wang Lang decided to be able to fire at least hundreds of bricks at a time, and after this brick kiln is really no problem, according to this method in the construction of two brick kilns, so that the bricks produced are barely enough.
The work of collecting soil is very tiring, and the mud not only needs to wet the soil, but also picks out the small stones that are mixed in it, so as to make it as little impurities as possible.
It took half a day to get two tons of dirt, which was piled up outside the tribal wall.
The excavation work was not carried out quickly, and it took three people to dig a pit more than a meter deep and wide in the afternoon, and the excavated soil would be transferred out of the stone and used as a raw material for making brick embryos.
In the evening, Wang Lang went to the egg hatching pit to observe the hatching of the dragon eggs, but there was still no response, and Wang Lang's heart gradually had a bad feeling.
Talking helplessly, Wang Lang came to the fence where the little dinosaur was closed, after the little dinosaur was full of food and drink, he lazily lay on the ground to rest, heard someone approaching, raised his head to look, and then lay down again, now he has adapted to the existence of human beings, thinking that these creatures are not a threat to him, and there will be food delivered to his mouth.
Seeing that this little horned dragon was alive and well, Wang Lang's depressed mood eased a little, and he muttered to himself: "Little thing, you must live to adulthood, if those eggs fail to hatch, you can only rely on you for a long time." ”
The next day, people continued to be busy yesterday, with these soil, Wang Lang craftsmen divided into two groups, one group continued to collect soil, the other wave by their own live mud, after opening the water to wet the mud, everyone kneaded the mud like noodles, but the progress of this method was too slow, and finally everyone simply dug a shallow pit to put the soil in, poured water, jumped into the pit and stepped on it with their feet.
After the mud was lived, Wang Lang asked people to take the mold, clean up a flat open space, deduct a large piece of mud from the pit, and fall into the mold hard.
After removing the excess part, smooth out both sides.
As long as the brick is poured out and dried, it is finished.
After finishing to prevent the bricks from getting stones, Wang Lang asked people to spread a layer of hay on the flat open space, even if these bricks were stained with hay, they could be burned when they were fired, and there was no need to worry about this at all.
Everyone watched Wang Lang's operation carefully, and basically learned it once, this thing has no technical content, it is completely manual work.
In this day's time, everyone made a total of more than 100 brick embryos, which can be said to be relatively slow.
At night, those dinosaur eggs still did not react, and Wang Lang had no hope in his heart, so he could only see if the little horned dragon could survive to adulthood.
But the next morning, when people woke up from their sleep, they heard the sound of chirping from the hatchery.
Hearing this voice, Wang Lang realized something, and ran towards the hatching pit in ecstasy.
After arriving there, the scene in front of him made the corners of Wang Lang's mouth almost reach the root of his ears.
In the fence, five or six small dinosaurs walked uneasily in the fence, looking in fear at the more and more humans who were surrounding this side.
"Lang, there are so many hatches this time." Fanxing said in surprise.
Wang Lang was in a very good mood at the moment, took Wang He from Fanxing's arms, teased him, and made Wang He cry before handing it over to Fanxing again.
"I didn't expect that so many hatches in one night, and I thought that these couldn't hatch, it's really blessed by the gods!" Wang Lang said with a smile.
Although the others had seen the birth of the first baby dinosaur, but this time there were so many, and their hearts were equally excited, although they could not fully understand the benefits of intensive farming, but they still understood the truth of more and more things.
More little dinosaurs speak out, which means that they will say goodbye to hunger in the future, which is closely related to their lives, and Xinhong is naturally happy.
Wang Lang asked people to take out the hatched little dinosaur and lock it up with the previous little dinosaur.
The first ceratosaurus looked a little frightened when it saw such a companion coming in, but it didn't take long for curiosity to slowly move towards its own kind, and after the initial panic, several small dinosaurs sniffed each other and fell silent.
Ceratosaurs all looked the same, even if there was a difference of a day or two between them, but there was no difference at all from the size, and everyone couldn't figure out which one was the first to hatch.
