Brass is the first treasure given to mankind by nature. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Throughout the history of human development, bronze is the first metal used on a large scale by human beings.

By adding different proportions of metal such as lead or tin to the brass, it is possible to turn the soft brass into a light and tough bronze, which is easy to polish and use.

Whoever wants to own bronze is equivalent to seizing the opportunity in this era.

Lin Yuan, who was familiar with strategy games, naturally understood the importance of the time in front of him, he must build a complete bronze production base as soon as possible, including a weapon production base for the whole process of mining, smelting, molding, plasticity, polishing, etc., and he must be in time before the army of the Luohe clan attacked.

This is the only way out, he must go all out to produce as soon as possible, because of the current situation, facing dozens of times his own enemy army, the Yan base camp army far away in the Central Plains is beyond the reach of the whip. So, using bronze is their only hope of winning.

Last night, the industrious Hou Yi had already taken the Pangeng people to fire the mold that Lin Yuan handed over to him with clay, and as soon as the sky was bright, Lin Yuan rushed over to check, very good, basically the appearance of the mold was similar to what he expected.

It is a few pickaxes, shovels, hammers, chisels and other basic tools for mining ore, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, if you want to mine ore as soon as possible, you must first use those limited brass meteorites to make tools that can open mountains, and then you can start large-scale production.

In order to fully carry out bronze production, Lin Yuan invested all his manpower, except for the necessary patrol and food gathering personnel, he used all the people he could use.

He divided the entire Pangeng people into three teams, a mining team, a smelting team, and a grinding team.

The smelting team, he asked Hou Yi, who was already familiar with the situation, to do it, and the grinding team was handed over to Jiu Yao, and he himself took the clansmen who were ready to personally lead the mining team to find the ore veins.

As for other things in the tribe, they were all handed over to Jiuqiong to manage.

This is a desperate approach, if the Luohe clan fights at this time, and their bronzes are not ready, then it will be an inevitable failure to meet them.

However, Lin Yuan decided to take a gamble, he expected that the matter of annihilating the Luohe Commando at that time would make the patriarch of the Luohe clan a little jealous, so the other party would definitely have to wait for all the combat power in the south to be complete before starting to prepare for the attack.

And the period of preparation of the other party is Lin Yuan's hope for victory! Shipwreck!

This is Lin Yuan's style, and it must be fought! You have to fight!

The sun had just risen to the end of midsummer, and the first batch of bronze tools had been freshly baked, and Lin Yuan was accompanied by Hou Yi to inspect them one by one.

The bronze utensils that had just been fished out of the cold water had been completely cooled, and although there were many spots on the top, it looked rough, but the general shape of the shovel, chisel and other tools could still be seen.

"Jiu Yao, come, I'll teach you, look, like this!" Lin Yuan beckoned and said to Jiu Yao, and then he picked up the blank of a mining pickaxe, put it in the sun and looked at it, the faint gold was shining under the light, emitting bursts of dazzling brilliance, and some dark spots were scattered inside, Lin Yuan knew that those were all metal impurities and bubbles, there was no way, the conditions were limited, and the purity could only be done here.

"This thing...... Is it the artifact that God said you said, it can smash the mountain? How do I feel ......," Jiu Yao muttered.

Lin Yuan smiled, touched Jiu Yao's head, and said:

"Hehe, of course not, this is just a blank, the next thing is up to you, you need to polish and install the wooden handle, this can become a complete tool, a mining pickaxe."

Jiu Yao nodded as if he didn't understand, Lin Yuan then took the blank and walked to the stone grinding factory, which has now been transformed into a new look, those messy little stones have been cleaned up, and there are a few whetstones selected by Lin Yuan on the ground, each of which is square, large and small.

Lin Yuan sat in front of a whetstone and showed everyone how to use stone to polish the bronze wool to shine, and then polish the sharp edge.

"Come, Jiu Yao, you try, remember to add some water on it, so that the polishing will be more detailed."

"Yes, I see!" Jiu Yao took the wool in Lin Yuan's hand and began to polish it seriously, for a circle of Pangeng people beside her, they were all studying seriously.

"After you polish it, find someone to make such a wooden handle...... Lin Yuan stood aside and lifted a piece of wood, which was a wooden stick made of birch, the mouth of the bowl was large and thick, it was sharpened straight with a stone tool, and the place where the handle was carefully polished and coated with the juice of grass and trees, preventing the wooden thorns from pricking his hands and increasing friction.

“…… Then put the wooden handle in it, remember, be sure to put it in place! Then, it's done! ”

Lin Yuan demonstrated it again, and put the wooden handle into the bronze that Jiu Yao had just polished, and the first mine pickaxe in the history of manpower was done in this way.

"This ...... How to use it? ”

Hou Yi asked curiously.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, he turned the mountain, took the heavy mining pickaxe, aimed at a stone on the ground, suddenly raised the mining pickaxe, aimed at the stone and slashed it hard.

"Oops!"

There were people around who let out exclamations, and they all looked at Lin Yuan's actions with distress, this piece of ore pickaxe took a lot of effort to produce, and it was smashed down so violently, if it was broken, it would be ......

But it soon became clear that their fears were absolutely unfounded......

Only a crisp sound was heard, and the stones on the ground were smashed in half by the ore pickaxe, and looking at the tip of the mine pickaxe in Lin Yuan's hand, except for some gray stone chips, it was unharmed.

"My Celestial!! This...... It's really an artifact!! It's so hard! Able to chop stones!! ”

The surrounding crowd let out such exclamations.

Lin Yuan smiled silently in his heart, for the sake of this ore pickaxe, he had studied the alloy solution for a long time, and he found that if he wanted the alloy to be stronger, he needed to increase the amount of tin mixture, and he also needed to add a little lead, and the alloy produced in this way was not only harder than ordinary bronze, but also more durable.

However, the only drawback is that the weight will increase a lot, which is not convenient for wielding flexibly on the battlefield, so it is more appropriate to use it as a tool.

"That's it! You've all seen it, just do it like this, use all the ore, and I'll need more than 50 tools before it gets dark today! ”

Lin Yuan ordered loudly.

"Yan Wang ......"

Hou Yi suddenly whispered in Lin Yuan's ear, "But...... We're running out of that brass meteorite...... If I make it all into a tool......"

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, patted Hou Yi's shoulder, and said:

"Don't worry! It's okay, I've found traces of copper ore in the mine, and believe me, with this batch of mining tools, we will have an endless supply of chalcopyrite! ”

Then Lin Yuan took a deep breath, stood on a boulder, and raised his arms to the crowd in the audience and shouted:

"Clansmen! Friends! Dear Ones! From today onwards, we will learn to use bronze tools, and we will be able to harness the power of the gods, extract the essence from the stones, and refine them into vessels! This is the greatest moment for our tribe and the proudest moment for us! Now, it's just a small step for our tribe, but trust me, it's definitely a big step for us humans!! ”

Everyone in the audience put down their work one after another, looked at Lin Yuan with a reverent face, and looked at the man who was closest to a miracle.

"I announce!" Lin Yuan took a deep breath and continued:

"From today! This valley has been renamed the Bronze Fortress! (To be continued.) )
