Chapter 337: Copper Smelting

Looking at the green stone, the craftsmen were stunned, looked at Wang Yang in confusion, frowned, and wondered what it meant.

Wang Yang also knew that with their IQ, he didn't understand what it meant, so he gave the green stone to an adult next to him.

And when the lord took the stone, he gave it to him, and he gave the flesh to him.

Then he demonstrated this several times in a row, and then he took the green stone back in his hand and shook it at the craftsmen.

The craftsman was slightly stunned, and the tall man took a few steps forward to get the stone, but several wooden spears stopped him in his advance.

He was very puzzled, and demonstrated it so many times, didn't he just want me to get the green stone first, and then you gave me meat?

He understood correctly, Wang Yang wanted a green stone, but he also understood wrongly, he didn't get the stone from Wang Yang, he went to find it somewhere else!

I'm really worried about their IQ!

Without a way of communication, it is not easy to express and understand, Wang Yang has expressed it very simply and straightforwardly, but the craftsmen still have some doubts.

The craftsmen thought for a long, long time, and suddenly, a craftsman understood, and his eyes fell on the little boy.

After a few steps forward, he grabbed the little boy and touched it up and down his body to see if he could touch another stone to come out.

The little boy struggled as hard as he could, but the big man had more strength than him, and he couldn't struggle at all.

The other craftsmen also understood, and grabbed the little boy one after another and did a comprehensive physical examination.

Nothing was touched, and the craftsmen were very unwilling and broke the little boy's mouth open. Let's see if he's hiding it in his mouth.

"Woo!"

In the end, they were not found, and the craftsmen were very angry. Angrily stomping his feet, using the little boy as a punching bag. Constantly scolding, in their opinion, the little boy should not have only a green stone.

The little boy did not show weakness, and also stomped his feet and cursed.

They didn't know what Lu Dao was scolding, but they knew that Lu Dao was getting noisier and louder, and the scolding was getting more and more fierce.

Adults scolding children, in Wang Yang's ideology, that is a lesson. Yes, he was also scolded, and he didn't feel anything wrong, but because of those scoldings, he understood a lot of truths.

However, the scolding of the group of craftsmen on the other side is purely a tantrum, they have no words, how can they be reasonable?

It's just that the momentum of both sides is very strong, and the more they scold, the more angry they become. I don't know what I'm angry about.

Finally, an adult couldn't help it and slapped the little boy to the ground, and when the others saw it, they stepped forward and kicked it a few times.

Wang Yang watched calmly from the side. I didn't even think of stopping it.

Originally, with his temperament, he didn't like to see children being bullied, but the little boy was too annoying. Not only did he not sympathize with him, but he felt a kind of guilt-deserved refreshment.

Fought for a while. The little boy couldn't get up, and he didn't know that the craftsmen treated their companions so violently. Why can you be so united.

It is estimated that their fight is like fighting for a spouse, and they are still their own family members after the fight.

"Whew!" Wang Yang drank a sentence, attracting the attention of the craftsmen, shook the green stone again, and then pointed to the piece of meat at the back of the most columbian, expressing the meaning that if there was no green stone, the meat would be gone.

The craftsmen struggled to guess what this meant, and they all frantically searched near the clearing to see if they could find the green stone.

Wang Yang waited for a while, and when he saw that they had not found it, he gave the meat to an adult beside him, who immediately ate it with a taste, and the craftsmen who saw it had a painful face, as if they were eating their meat.

Wang Yang no longer entangled with them, and returned to the tribe with everyone.

He believed that the meaning he pointed out was very clear, there were green stones, there was free meat to eat, no hunting, no fighting, no need to get a large piece of finely prepared meat for free.

As long as they are willing to use their brains to think about it, they will definitely be able to remember where the green stone was picked up, and then they will be mined and shipped here.

"Keep an eye on that group of people during this time, they might help us find the green stones." Wang Yang made arrangements for more than a dozen people.

To Wang Yang's surprise, the group of people didn't make any movement, and I don't know if they couldn't remember it, or if they hadn't moved this idea at all.

Wang Yang had to bring meat and green stones over every day, and kept mentioning green stones, hoping that they would think of the benefits in this regard.

It's a pity that the IQ of the group of people on the other side does make people feel anxious, just like the ape people in the past, they don't think about long-term plans and plans at all, and they have the idea of living one day at a time.

Not motivated, not far-sighted, really a failed race.

On this day, the two dozen or so adults who were divided into several groups returned to the tribe one after another, and also brought their news.

The news is not very good, just like Wang Yang thought, a large part of the copper mine is buried in the ground, and it is impossible to find it without digging.

But it is even more impossible to dig, the world is so big, the area is so vast, how many people do you have to spend, how much time does it take to find copper mines?

It's about the same to give him hundreds of millions of people.

Only a small part of the copper ore is exposed, or a cliff with a flow of water, or a certain mountain, and it is not easy to find.

They brought some beige stones, most of which were found in places where there was a water source by the river, and they were ordinary stones, even if they were not ordinary, they were fossils or amber, and they did not help Wang Yang in any way.

"Looks like we have to take the second step." Wang Yang unwillingly launched the second plan to recruit the other party into the tribe.

This is a move that Wang Yang doesn't like very much, at least the group of craftsmen on the other side doesn't like him at all, he doesn't like it, and others don't like it, they are still very wary of that group of craftsmen until now.

But the tribe is so powerful, if they want to enter the tribe, they don't dare to be presumptuous. As long as you know where the green stones were dug and whether they are left or stayed, you can only see their performance.

Of course, Wang Yang would not make this decision rashly, he planned to really determine whether the green stone was patina.

"Light the fire, burn the furnace!"

After the white clay arrived, everyone began to make ceramics again, if Wang Yang was not mistaken, it should be closer to porcelain, but I heard that it costs more than 1,300 degrees to burn porcelain.

He thought that although his kiln was good, the structure was not ingenious, and it should only be about 1,100 degrees, not so high.

What comes out of the firing is only close to porcelain, not real porcelain.

However, the high temperature of 1100 degrees is enough to smelt copper, and the melting point of copper is only a little more than 1,000 degrees, less than 1,000 degrees.

Therefore, if you want to know whether the road is copper, you will know it as soon as you burn it.

He put the green stone in a bowl of clay that had not yet been burned, so that it would not melt and run all over the floor.

Then, raise the furnace and start a fire!

With a light "hum", a blue flame rose in the charcoal, Wang Yang didn't care about anything, just fanned the wind and added carbon, burning the kiln to the point of black smoke billowing into the sky.

"Huh~Huh~Huh~"

Under the wild strong wind, the charcoal jumped up countless sparks, swept into the kiln, and hit the clay bowl that was uncertain.

Under the constant care of Wang Yang and everyone, the kiln was burned extremely vigorously, and the temperature inside was immeasurable for a while, which should have reached the limit that this kiln could reach.

In the place where Wang Yang couldn't see, the green stone in the mud bowl quietly changed drastically.

The erosion of the high temperature caused the jade-like surface of the green stone to crack a few large openings, revealing a deeper layer of green inside.

The layer of green seems to be sprinkled with powder, like sesame seeds on a cake, and many of the green powder is still starry white.

As time passed, the outermost green had become something and disappeared in the bowl, leaving a small stone like an egg yolk.

In the erosion of the heat wave, it was burned red, and then slowly flowed into the porcelain bowl that was almost burned white.

The temperature was so high that it couldn't stand it at all, so it slowly melted, and finally condensed at the bottom of the bowl, like a red lake dyed with blood, and there was no ripple on the surface of the thick silk.

It was hot outside, Wang Yang and a few adults kept adding charcoal to it, he didn't know if the green stone in the road had melted, and he didn't know if the temperature in the road was high enough.

It burned for another two hours before the mouth of the kiln was blocked and the fire was extinguished.

The next day, Wang Yang got up early, and in the fresh dawn, removed the hot kiln stone.

Smoke billowed into the sky.

After cooling for a few hours, Wang Yang couldn't wait to enter the hot kiln, touched the porcelain bowl that was still hot, and took out the bowl at the front with two wet animal skins.

All the way to the river, the animal skin continued to rise a faint water vapor, but it can be imagined that the temperature is still very high.

It was easy to get to the river, and quickly threw the hot "potato" on the ground, and the bowl rolled on the ground with a clang, and it was not broken, and it rolled for a while, covering the ground, making a sound of "wow wow wow~".

Wang Yang didn't think about it, scooped up the scoop of water and poured it, and suddenly, the bowl was not so hot.

Wang Yang hurriedly picked up the bowl and looked at the bottom of the porcelain bowl, and sure enough, in the white bowl, there was a layer of faint yellow metal.

What else could it be if it wasn't copper!

It's just that the copper seems to be sintered with the porcelain bowl, Wang Yang simply took out a stone, smashed the porcelain bowl, and took out the small piece of copper.

Holding it in his hand, Wang Yang shook it in the sun, and the golden light permeated people!

"Sure enough, it's copper!" Wang Yang was ecstatic, thinking that he was finally about to enter the metal age.

He excitedly and eagerly waved his hand at the patrol behind him: "Go!" Bring that group into the tribe! ”

So saying, he strode forward on his own.

The patrol team behind him actually hadn't understood what Wang Yang was so happy about until now, and they didn't know what Wang Yang was doing with that group of craftsmen during this time.

I can't figure it out, the green stones are all burned out, and Wang Yang is still so happy.

But they still laughed, because Wang Yang's happiness often represented a step forward for the tribe. (To be continued......)
