Chapter 505: Finding Iron Ore

As the lemur queen "Tang Xin" became more and more dependent on Su San, and finally even reached the point of "not seeing each other for a day, it is like three autumns", the queen also felt that she was not in love, and she actually had the shy mentality of the little girl's first love - she was secretive, wanted to stamp the seal, wanted to marry Su San as "Qin Jin's good", and was worried that Su San would refuse and make herself, the female monkey king, faceless, really in a dilemma, and restless.

At this time, Su San neither had the ambition of "usurping the throne and seizing power", nor did he want to "grow up with his children" with the queen, he only wanted to "prosper" this lemur tribe at present, so he felt that the current queen's palace, that is, the palace of the old monkey king in the past, was built on a thousand-year-old tree, which was very inappropriate.

Due to its lush foliage and intertwined roots, this thousand-year-old tree is extremely tenacious, not only able to shelter from the wind and rain (except for heavy rainstorms), but also able to blossom and bear fruit, so that the lemurs living in this "royal palace" can pick fruits to satisfy their hunger when they are short of food and food, and are not bothered by hunger.

However, despite this, Su San still wants to change the bad habits of the lemur group for thousands of years, as the saying goes, "there is no progress without reform", and it is from the continuous reform that human beings have developed and progressed to become stronger.

All in all, Su San, who has a human soul, will never be satisfied with the status quo, his first step: the plan to teach lemurs to "make a fire to barbecue meat and eat cooked meat" has been implemented, then the next reform plan he wants to carry out is to "build a large number of buildings", like ancient humans, build a wooden house, so that this group of lemurs can also learn to live in a wooden and grass house like humans.

Originally, Su San planned to dig a hole and let them all live in the cave, but unfortunately the soil here is not good, most of it is loose sand, and if it is excavated vigorously, it is very likely that a landslide will occur, so he has to give up.

And to build a wooden house, it is necessary to cut down trees or bamboo, and to cut ...... Then it is inseparable from the sharp weapons - woodcutters, axes and saws, and to have these sharp weapons, you need iron, of course, steel and other things, in human society, even woodcutters, axes and saws such ready-made things, are too sparse and ordinary, so Su San naively stood on the top of the mountain, shouting into the sky, hoping to get the help of the "Soul Transplant Experiment" scientific research team, but the answer was that these things he needed were only available in history museums, and they belonged to the things used by ancient humans. Now belongs to the era of super civilization, this kind of primitive iron things have long been eliminated, and now they can't be found at all, so he has to rely on himself to find iron ore, and tell him that where there is iron ore recently, one hundred and eighty kilometers away from here in the southwest, there is a large canyon, which contains a certain amount of iron ore.

After learning the news, Su San was overjoyed, and immediately reported to the queen of the tribe, telling her about the benefits of mining iron ore, and asked him to lead more than a hundred male lemurs to mine, the queen "Tang Xin" was moved by his enthusiasm for work, and wanted to go with him, but considering the fatigue of the journey, he was already old, and he had to give up if he was not suitable for a long trip, but even if she couldn't go by herself, she had to send a dozen young female lemurs to serve the food and lodging of Su Sanjun's division, Su San considered for the mining "army", did not refuse, but caused the dissatisfaction of the inseparable female lynx "Yingzi".

This made Su San laugh, and he had to use good words to appease "Yingzi", and let her stay by his side to supervise his words and deeds at any time, so that "Yingzi", who likes to eat "dry vinegar", quieted down.

After a long journey of three days and two nights (resting and sleeping every night and getting up at four in the morning the next day), I still tried to walk the "air corridor" in the forest, and finally found the canyon with iron ore in the evening of the third day.

After a good night's rest, early the next morning, Su San divided this mining "army" into two routes, one was responsible for hunting, and the other was in charge of mining, so that Su San let about half of the lemurs go hunting, the other half of the lemurs went to mine with him, and the dozen or so female lemurs were responsible for collecting dry firewood such as dry branches and leaves that fell on the ground for barbecue and fresh game.

After searching for most of the day, Su San and they didn't find a decent piece of iron ore, and on this day, everyone found nothing.

Then he searched for a whole day, almost the entire canyon, and still found no major finds, which couldn't help but make him doubt the information of the scientists.

In the early morning of the third day, Su San squatted down to carefully observe the ground, and found that the ground was almost covered with rotten branches and leaves, and found that he was too stupid, so he asked everyone to break some branches and pick up the thick rotten branches and rotten leaves that were two or three meters deep, only to see the valley floor with real soil, but turning over such a thick dead branch and rotten leaves like this is almost a difficult task for this lemur mining team that lacks modern tools, what should I do?

Su San thought about it carefully, if there is iron ore in this valley, it should not be limited to the low-lying places at the bottom of the valley, there should also be the side of the valley bottom, and even if the side is covered with dead branches and rotten leaves, it will not be so thick and deep at the bottom.

Seeing this scene, Su San was pleasantly surprised, and immediately ordered everyone to pick up all the dead branches and rotten leaves on the canyon cliff as much as possible, so that the workload of finding iron ore was suddenly reduced a lot, and everyone's enthusiasm was also mobilized at once, and they began to scramble to pick up the dead branches and rotten leaves on the side wall of the valley, as if carrying out a "labor competition".

After three days of "cliff leaf picking" and five days of meticulous investigation and excavation, Su San and they finally found a decent piece of iron ore, and then under the desperate digging nearby, more iron ore was also found, which made Su San ecstatic, and his "iron mining and steelmaking" action finally made significant progress.

Next, it was to look for the coal mine, and Su San once again obtained accurate information about the coal mine in the same way as last time, but fortunately, this time the coal mine was closer to them, less than seventy kilometers, in its northwest corner, which made him overjoyed, and led the team to mine the coal mine again.

After the last mining experience, this coal mining was very smooth, but transportation became a problem, however, this problem was not difficult for Su San, Su San quickly thought of the back basket and basket, so he used the vine to weave a very rough and simple back basket, and let everyone "draw a gourd" to learn him to weave such a back basket, during which it is inevitable to teach by hand, so that everyone can learn faster.

Two days later, Su San's coal mining team successfully weaved eighty or ninety relatively strong and decent back baskets, and dozens of substandard products were discarded, with these dozens of back baskets, the coal mining operation can be carried out smoothly, the excavated coal ore is placed in the back basket, and then transported to the lemur tribe by the lemur on the back of the lemur for steelmaking, barbecue and heating.
