198 smelting
And they have all gone to see it, these stone mountains are very huge, and there are patches of iron ore that are connected.
After the clansmen of the Shenlong tribe took them to see it, they confirmed that the people of the Shenlong tribe had surrounded that piece.
They plan to gather a large number of men to dig up iron ore for us, but ask us to supply them with the supplies they need in advance.
Because they don't know what use this hard stone is for the dragon tribe, and it is of no use to themselves anyway.
If they waste a lot of manpower to dig these stones, and then the people of the Dragon Tribe don't need them, wouldn't they be too much of a loss.
So they need to get a promise from the dragon tribe, that is, to give them trade items in advance, so that they can have a guarantee.
The idea of the Shenlong sacrifice was very simple, he gathered all the clansmen in the tribe and divided them into two groups, one group was to trade in the plains or exchange items with the big tribes near the Shenlong tribe.
Swap large quantities of food and hides for the needs of the people of their tribe, so that the people of their tribe do not have to go out hunting.
Then the remaining tribesmen obtained iron ore for the dragon tribe, and even mined the iron ore without their own people, they went out to conquer some tribes and became their slaves and worked for them.
In this way, their Divine Dragon Tribe doesn't have to pay anything, and they can get a lot of unexpected things.
Su Mo didn't know the specific idea of the Divine Dragon Sacrifice, but after hearing Bi Fang's words, he thought about it carefully and decided to pay fifty percent of the goods of the Divine Dragon Tribe first.
But the Shenlong tribe had to give them the amount of iron ore they needed every day, and then pay them the remaining fifty percent of the goods, which would be settled on the same day.
After Su Mo and Bi Fang finished talking about what she meant, the rest of the things were all handed over to Bi Fang to deal with.
Su Mo looked at the iron ore that was transported back to the Dragon Tribe with the slaves this time, and there were only a few carts, and the quantity was not very large.
But even so, Su Mo and Ying Tian were very excited.
When they transported the iron ore to the smelting workshop they had already built, the people in the workshop were extremely excited to see the truckloads of iron ore.
When they were trained by Ying Tian to be a member of the smelting workshop before, they were lucky enough to see iron once, and it was when Ying Tian smelted a razor and scissors with the piece of iron ore that Su Mo had accidentally obtained.
Since then, they have been learning the principles of these drawings every day, and they have never practiced them at all.
But now that it's finally time to do it, they can't suppress the excitement in their hearts.
Chongming finally came back, and when he saw that Su Mo was busy with Ying Tian, he didn't have a chance at all, and he couldn't help but sigh a little.
There is no way, the bridge of communication between them and the Shenlong tribe is these flying orcs.
Now the flying orcs of the Dragon Tribe are only them, the clansmen of the Divine Bird Tribe, so he can only be exploited by Bi Fang now.
There was no personal time at all, so Bai Yi pretended to be empty and gathered in front of Su Mo all day long.
Now Su Mo saw Bai Yi with a smile on his face, and he didn't smell good when he saw him.
Chongming was a little depressed, he hadn't had time to talk to Su Mo yet, and he was going out again.
At this time, Su Mo was completely immersed in the excitement of smelting iron ore, and he didn't know Chongming's state of mind at this time.
Because of the appearance of iron ore, Su Mo postponed the reclamation of wasteland.
She thought that when the iron-made farming tools came out, the wasteland would be cleared much faster.
With the return of batches of iron ore, their coal mines, which had been stored in the tribe, were able to be used to great extent.
In the beginning, there was no iron ore in the tribe, so there was only a small team of people in the smelting workshop, that is, thirty people, who studied various drawings every day and did not actually operate.
This time, Bi Fang brought back a lot of iron ore, and Ying Tian studied with them in the smelting workshop for the first time how to put the theory into practice.
This is a big matter in the tribe, Ying Tian thought about focusing on cultivating these thirty people first, and these thirty people are also carefully selected clansmen in the tribe who are absolutely loyal to the Dragon Tribe.
Because they all have the totem imprint of the dragon tribe on their bodies, the first condition for the important work in the tribe is whether the clansmen have the totem imprint of the tribe, and then look at other aspects.
Ying Tian and Su Mo thought about it, first let Ying Tian focus on teaching these people, and then select about five hundred people to specialize in smelting iron.
Because iron products must be a rigid need, all aspects of the tribe can be used, and the weapons of the dragon tribe must be upgraded.
At that time, there may not be enough people for 500 people, but this iron smelting or something is considered a tribal secret, and it cannot be easily taught to other clansmen, so it must go through layers of screening, and only those who have the tribal totem mark on their bodies can participate in the election.
Moreover, the smelting workshop Yingtian has already sent a team of men and horses to guard it, just in case.
Everyone gathered around and took out the book on the method of smelting iron ore into iron that Su Mo had written before, and there were many drawings of farm tools and weapons made of iron on the book.
Su Mo wrote a lot of ways to smelt iron ore into iron written in the book, and everyone chose the easiest one, that is, the method that Ying Tian had practiced before.
This time, the first practice was still Yingtian, and everyone watched attentively as Yingtian put the selected ore into the furnace, then put the coal in it, and then waited on the side, during which the fire never stopped.
This time the iron ore is particularly large, so it is not very easy to smelt, and it takes a lot of time and effort.
In this way, everyone stayed in the smelting workshop for a day, and Ying Cai asked everyone to stop the fire, and then waited for him to extinguish it.
Ying Tian found out the iron pieces in the furnace, and he looked at the iron lumps one by one, his eyes shining and a little excited.
He had long been very fond of the weapon that Su Mo had told him.
He wanted to build a razor-sharp knife right now, and no one could stop him.
Su Mo couldn't understand the man's love for weapons, but he felt that Ying Tian was a little stunned, but seeing Ying Tian's enthusiasm, he let him go.
Ying Tian had spent more than a week and polished it repeatedly, and finally finished making the first batch of molded weapons and placed them in the storage room of the smelting workshop.
After Su Mo received the news, he rushed to the smelting workshop as soon as possible, and he had been soaking in the smelting workshop for a week, and he didn't have time to return to the palace at all.
So the task of incubating eggs this week was placed on Su Mo's body.
Fortunately, in this week, these young eggs did not have the slightest intention of breaking the shell, otherwise Su Mo would not know what to do.
When Su Mo came to the smelting workshop, the storage room of the smelting workshop was already surrounded by a bunch of people.
Night owls, Bi Fang, Chongming, Bai Yi, Bu Bu, Jiang Dong, Jiang Nan and others were all gathered in the storage room, so that many workers in the smelting workshop could only stare inside the room outside the storage room.
It also took a lot of effort for Su Mo to squeeze into the storage room of the smelting workshop.
"Is this what you're talking about?" The eyes of the strides were straight.
