In the evening of the second day after the end of the decisive battle with Shanrong, the small white camp and the sheep camp ten miles south of the Zhoushui Walled City were in. Because the raw materials of the copper mine are still scarce, only a dozen NPCs are basically idle, gathering together to light a bonfire to keep warm.

Dumb stayed as usual, looking at a piece of cassiterite in his hand with a blank expression. This is the sixth time he has studied tin ore in more than ten days. In his dull gaze, a series of data flashed, Mine Research Degree 0 Mine Research Degree 0 Mine Research Degree 1.00%. Drip, drip! Through the certification of system science and technology, the ordinary hero of the Xiaobai tribe, Dumb, successfully obtained the tin smelting technology and became the first ordinary hero in the world to research the tin smelting technology. ”

Dumb's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing an ecstatic expression, holding up cassiterite and shouting, "I understand! ”

The NPC craftsmen looked at him strangely, not knowing what the deputy patriarch was crazy about.

Dumb ignored all this, and frantically ran to the side of a copper furnace, shouting loudly for the slaves to take out the copper slag and charcoal slag inside. He personally replaced it with new charcoal and hundreds of units of cassiterite raw materials and began to burn the furnace.

The other craftsmen came running over and watched in amazement. Even the craftsmen who were smelting the copper left their work behind and came to watch.

Ah Wan wore bronze armor and rode a war horse around the camp, and when he saw a large group of people surrounding to see something, he also hurriedly ran over to see the excitement.

After more than ten minutes, the furnace began to boil hot, and after a few more minutes, a silvery, molten liquid flowed out of the furnace down the ditch. It was a silvery liquid they had never seen before, and the copper liquid was all red.

NPC coppersmiths exclaimed, "Hey, what is this?" "Strange stuff!" "Silver? Is it silver? "Dumb, Deputy Patriarch is amazing. Out of the stone is silver smelted! ”

Dumb saw the silver liquid flowing out of the furnace, and was ecstatic, and hurriedly used ceramics to hold the silver liquid. He explained loudly and proudly, "Tin, this must be tin." The patriarch told me that the tin ore was made of tin like silver, not silver. ”

Curiously, Ah Wan wanted to reach out and touch the silver liquid contained in the ceramic. was slapped away by Dumb and scolded Dumb. Ah Wan didn't dare to say anything, but muttered a few words secretly.

Dumb ignored him, took the liquid tin and went to another copper furnace, and asked the slaves to melt a piece of copper ingot, and then poured the liquid tin into it and mixed it together. Then a model of an axe was cast in wax. The wax melted and the mixed metal liquid was poured into it. Cooling.

The coppersmiths wondered, "What is this for?" ”

Dumb just said: "The patriarch said that the axe made by mixing liquid tin and liquid copper is easy to use. Get your feet wet! ”

This time it was very fast, and the tin and pure copper fused together, no matter what proportion was fused, it belonged to bronze.

"Ding-dong. The bronze axe has been successfully cast! ”

"Didi, through the certification of system science and technology, the ordinary hero of the Xiaobai tribe, Dumb, successfully obtained the bronze refining technology and became the first ordinary hero in the world to research the bronze technology! Dumb upgrade to level 15. ”

Bronze Axe: Two-handed, heavy, attack 9, hardness 21, durability 67.

The first bronze axe is finally out.

In fact, this bronze axe cannot be regarded as a standard bronze axe, because the copper tin is arbitrarily configured by Dumb, and there are deviations, and the hardness and durability are not the best standard values for bronze axes, and they are inferior bronze axes - but even if they are inferior products, it still does not prevent it from becoming a bronze axe.

The coppersmiths were shocked when they saw the attributes of the bronze axe. It's too strong, several times stronger than a copper axe. They snatched the bronze axes to chop the burning wood, and with a click, they split the wood in half cleanly.

"Good. Good stuff! ”

"Grab a copper axe and give it a try!"

Ah Wan excitedly grabbed the bronze axe and asked the coppersmiths to get a copper axe. The coppersmiths immediately took a copper axe, and Dumb used the bronze axe to split the copper axe, and after only five or six splits, the copper axe cracked into a large gap. Durability dropped to just a few points. And the bronze axe is not broken at all. Not even 1 point of durability has been reduced.

Ah Weak shouted excitedly, dancing with a bronze axe and chopping around. Seeing what to chop and what, it is very easy to use, and the sturdy copper shield can't stop the chopping, and a big hole is punched out after a few wild splits.

Dumb was also very excited, no matter how weak he was looking for things to chop, he shouted for the coppersmiths to get more tin ore to smelt with him, and smelt more tin to make bronze. As long as one NPC has mastered the tin smelting technology and bronze technology, it is easy for other NPCs to learn and master the technology for a long time through teaching.

The tens of thousands of units of cassiterite in the warehouse were quickly transported by slaves and sent to workshops, where coppersmiths used copper furnaces to smelt tin ore and smelt tin, which was then sent to the foundry to mix with copper to cast bronze axes.

All copper-tin ratios are random, between 1:2:1, so the properties of the cast bronzes are also uneven. The best and worst bronze axes have a lot of different attributes. But Dumb and the coppersmiths were too excited to think about the proportions. As bronze axes were cast one by one, their experience level was also increasing rapidly.

An even more surprising news soon emerged.

Ding Dong, the system prompts: "There are 100 members of the Xiaobai tribe and 37 bronzes." The popularity rate of bronze is over 30%, and the Xiaobai tribe has initially popularized bronze tools and obtained the system era certification, and the Xiaobai tribe has officially entered the Bronze Age, becoming the first player tribe in the world to upgrade the Bronze Age. The population cap was increased to 200. ”

Ten minutes later.

Ding Dong, the system prompts: "There are 100 members of the sheep tribe and 31 bronzes." The popularity rate of bronze ware exceeded 30%, and the sheep tribe initially popularized bronze tools and obtained the system era certification, and the sheep tribe officially entered the bronze age and became the second player tribe in the world to upgrade the bronze age. The population cap was increased to 200. ”

The World Player Tribe Age Leaderboard, where two mysterious player tribes jumped up the charts and stood out from the countless Bronze Age tribes. The names of the two tribes, and all the information, are almost hidden, and it is impossible to know which players have upgraded to the Bronze Age. The only information that has been revealed is that nationality: Chinese.

In fact, few people pay attention to the rankings in this era, because the vast majority of players are in the Bronze Age, and they can't see the tricks no matter how you look at it. However, the two Chinese player tribes suddenly jumped to the Bronze Age one after another in just over ten minutes, which immediately caused a sensation and great attention in the entire imperial game community.

The Age of Empires rankings have been silent for a long time, and the number of views and clicks has jumped from tens of thousands to hundreds of millions per day. All players from various countries who learned the news opened the World Era Leaderboard in the game for the first time, and there were countless exclamations.

"Chinese players! Two, into the Bronze Age! How did they go so fast? "It's too fast, it's only been a few days since I entered the strategic map, and it's only been less than half a month!" Incredible! "Hmph, wait and see, we'll be in the Bronze Age soon!"

In the evening, Qin Xiaobai was in the Zhoushui Walled City, and suddenly received a system prompt, informing him that his tribe had been officially upgraded to the Bronze Age, asking him if he had made public all kinds of information about his tribe. This can bring his tribe great fame and prestige around the world, and of course, it can also bring a lot of unpredictable troubles.

He was stunned, the system is kidding, why did his tribe suddenly rise to the Bronze Age?

Qin Xiaobai suddenly thought of something, he had asked the coppersmiths to study tin and bronze smelting for a while, could it be that the craftsmen succeeded in refining bronze? This is very likely, otherwise the system would not run a prompt.

As soon as he thought of this possibility, he was overjoyed and immediately replied that the system hid all the information of his tribe, revealing only the nationality information. Then, he immediately rode his horse and went straight to the Xiaobai tribe ten miles south of the city.

Within a few miles of the Xiaobai tribe, almost all of them were fiefs of members of the Xiaobai Army. From time to time along the road, the players who met the Little White Army greeted him one after another. Qin Xiaobai responded with a smile, and rushed to the camp of the little white army in a hurry. The camp of the Little White Army in this area has passed more than 200 players. Arrived at the gate of the fence, the nbsp in charge of the guard; After returning to his tribe, Qin Xiaobai jumped off his horse and quickly came to the copper smelting workshop. I saw Dumb with dozens of coppersmiths and many slaves smelting tin ore, and when they saw the patriarch coming, they greeted respectfully.

Qin Xiaobai smiled and nodded, "You guys made the bronze?" ”

"Yes, Patriarch, a number of bronze axes have been made." Dumb hurriedly took a bronze axe with the best attributes and handed it to Qin Xiaobai to see.

Qin Xiaobai took it and looked at it, the bronze axe: two-handed, heavy, attack 12, hardness 26, durability 51.

He couldn't help but praise, "Good! Good thing, thank you, each craftsman will be rewarded with 200 copper coins, and slaves will be rewarded with 20 copper coins! Feed all of you tonight and eat as much as you want! ”

He was not only happy that a large number of bronzes had been created and the tribal era had been upgraded, but he was also greatly relieved.

These high-efficiency bronzes will inevitably be very popular with players in the market, and his profits from monopolizing the copper market will also rebound significantly, quickly getting rid of the embarrassment of "too much expenditure and lack of income". Now, he is finally sure that he is completely in control of the situation and makes himself invincible.

The NPC coppersmiths and slaves in the entire camp were rewarded with a lot of cheers!
