The ancients said that if you want to get rich, you must first pick up a tree. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, the most in line with the current level of social productivity is to build thatched huts.

It is very easy to build a thatched hut, as long as you find an open space, then use the tougher saplings to make a skeleton around it, and finally keep collecting leaves like palm leaves, and constantly tie them to the skeleton and push the lid up.

If you need to go a little higher, you can choose a mud house, which is slightly more difficult to build than a thatched house. However, the basic idea is the same, which is to first make the beams and frame of the house with birch, which is strong but not too thick, and then use a tougher material such as thin bamboo strips to build the wall like a woven bamboo mat, and then paste mud (clay) on it, and wait until it is dry.

But what the hell is living in these things, isn't it still like a wild man!

Jian Chen doesn't ask for a wooden villa suite close to the seaside like a foreigner, but there should always be a standard of an ordinary forest cottage. Although he is not a professional carpenter, but the basic load-bearing concept is still there, I have never eaten pork and have never seen a pig run, if it is to build that kind of boxy house in the woods, Chen Jian thinks there should be no problem.

Before that can happen, though, there is a conundrum that must be solved.

That is, this time I went to pick up the tree, and I couldn't use the method of hitting the stone with those pickaxes last time.

The wood used to make the house must not be too soft, or the kind of wood that is very thin and breaks when it breaks, but if it is a particularly thick tree - think of the big tree that Jian Chen blew up when they dealt with the thorny jackals last time, it took them 20 explosives packs to do it, and besides, can the wood blown up by the dynamite packs still work?

So, this time, we have to start with the logging props.

Don't mention any logging machines and chainsaws, what Jian Chen wants is an axe that is hard enough. He had labor, but he hadn't heard of any bronze or iron tools in this era, and if it weren't for Jian Chen's arrival, the Night Elves and Gnolls would probably still be throwing stones there.

The current natives of Camlido obviously do not realize that there is a wealth of treasure in those stones that can be found everywhere.

Minerals are scarce in the forest, but not at all.

In Azeroth, copper ore is the most basic mineral, distributed in almost every piece of land in Camlido, and because of the war between the Titans and the Elder Gods, the surface of the earth has been severely damaged (when the ancient god Ashaji was dragged out of the center of the earth like a carrot, and the Well of Eternity existed after the hole was repaired), so many veins were exposed on the ground, in a place where the naked eye could tell.

Jian Chen led the two miners of the Night Elves—no, warriors—to the surrounding area in search of minerals.

"Didn't you say that you cut down trees, why did you come to mine again?" For Jian Chen's decision, both Raven Keith and Jia Lei felt very strange, but considering that Jian Chen's suggestions had always been strange, but there was always a deep meaning that they couldn't understand, so the two of them still followed without saying a word carrying a batch of re-made stone pickaxes.

In later generations, the experienced miners of Azeroth were able to locate the location of the ore veins with only a pair of naked eyes and a map, but Chen Jian was even more awesome than their situation, although he himself could not distinguish between east and west, north and south, whether there was a mine here or not, if yes, what kind of mine, but he had a system, just a glance, and the system told him what kind of mineral it was.

If he looked carefully, Jian Chen found that there were actually quite a lot of minerals distributed in the Quiet Forest, and even more than he had expected at the beginning, but the most existing ore here was not the original copper ore, but a special ore called Arcane Ore, which was a mineral that absorbed the arcane energy of the Well of Eternity, and it was not easy to find it in ordinary stones, but it often condensed the associated ores of purple crystals around it, exposing their location.

Jian Chen asked Ravenkeith and Jia Lei to take the pickaxe and try to dig, but the pickaxe in the hands of the two of them was all broken, and the ore in it had not been exposed a little, Chen Jian knew that it was not only that the mining skills of the two miners were not up to par, but also that the pickaxe was too brittle.

Ravenketh said to Jian Chen: "Brother Darth Rema, if you want to dig a stone like last time, you have to find the kind of stone that has a lot of powder, and can knock the stone off it little by little, but like this, there is not even a pit when you knock it on, and you can't dig it at all." ”

"That's right." Jian Chen nodded, and quickly gave up the idea of skipping the level to dig this arcane mine, but continued to take the two Kuang Kong around, and finally found the location of the copper mine under a two-meter-high cliff. He tried to let Ravenketh and Jaree knock it, and found that although the stone here was still quite hard, it was not impossible to knock it down with a stone pickaxe, and when some yellow and clear material was exposed in the rock, Chen Jian pointed to the one and said to Ravenketh and Jare: "You guys will dig out this yellow copper ore for me later, I need to use it." ”

Ravenketh and Jare's eyes widened, and they approached the mineral called copper to take a closer look, and found that this thing also existed in their hometown, and there were many of them, almost everywhere in the caves of Mount Hyjal, and no one paid attention to these stones at all, but because of their previous experience with inferior explosives, the two of them were finally a little more cautious, and asked Jian Chen: "What is this, does it have anything to do with our building a house?" ”

"Of course it has a relationship, and it has a big relationship." Chen Jian explained: "This is called copper ore, and after being purified and melted into copper ingots at high temperatures, it can be used to make axes that are stronger than stones, which can be used to cut wood. ”

Ravenketh and Jarley looked at each other and said no more.

Dig and dig, anyway, whether it's a lump or a baby, you will always know later.

Because it takes more than one ore to make copper ingots, and it is impossible to make only one to make utensils, so before Ravenketh and Jaree rushed to start construction, Chen Jian took them to find several other vein mines nearby, except for the largest number of Arcane mines, the other minerals in the Quiet Forest were extremely low, they walked around the Well of Eternity for almost two hours, and finally found only 3 copper ores, 1 tin ore and 1 Mithril vein.

Chen Jian still asked Raven Keith and them to give it a try, tin ore is obviously more difficult to dig than copper ore, but after losing a stone pickaxe, he finally dug up a little, as for the Mithril mine that Chen Jian pointed out to Raven Keith and Jia Lei, it is the same as the Arcane mine, it can't be dug at all.

"Anyway, your job now is to dig up the copper ore you just found for me."

After instructing Raven Keith and Jia Lei, Jian Chen did not continue to stay, and returned the same way, during this trip out to find the vein mine, he noticed one thing, that is, there was no map, and he needed to rely on subjective consciousness to remember the way, although they did not go far near the station, but in this primeval forest, it was simply a matter of tossing the dead.

Admiring Fitz and Connie who can know the exact location in the forest even without using maps and tools, Jian Chen feels that the matter of making a specific map should be put on the agenda as soon as possible, after all, not everyone has the ability to recognize the way like Fitz and Connie, Chen Jian just now with Raven Keith and Jare, he obviously felt that these two guys' sense of direction is not much better than his own.

However, he needed to focus more on the next forging and smelting, and once Ravenketh and Jaree had completed the task they had given them and brought back the copper ore they needed, it was time to make the axe.

In the consciousness of Chen Jian's modern people, what he is most familiar with is not the decent blast furnace ironmaking in the factory, but the very earthy hammer and the block refining method of tinkling and beating on the iron felt.

Of course, Jian Chen didn't want to waste time and effort doing such a troublesome thing, so it was time for him to appear as a god again.

Seriously, as a god, as long as he is willing to spend faith points, he can directly exchange axes from the system, but Chen Jian felt that this was a palliative solution, so in the end, Chen Jian used the faith points replenished in the past few days to exchange for a set of boilers and iron felt that can be found everywhere in the blacksmith shop, as well as a "blacksmith beginner's guide".

Thanks to the 2000 starting coins from Xiaosheng Luochen book friends recently, and the 100 book coins from wild-kid book friends and Ji Wushen Yuran.

There is also the question raised in the book review section about the inconsistency between the orientalization of the protagonist's name and the background of Azeroth, I thought about it, and after Aishhara led the dark troll back, I would change the title of a god to Jian Chen that fit the background, and let the believers call the god by that.
