Chapter 122: What Are You Doing (Five Watches, Please Subscribe!) )
Guo Sen is very familiar with ores.
It is not unusual for meteoric iron, which is also a very small ore on Earth, to appear on his sphere now.
After all, he had also experienced countless meteorite bombardments in ancient times, and the existence of meteorite iron was not uncommon, just like the gold on the side of the armored orcs, it was quite a rich existence.
What is strange is that the White Wolf Clan did not use the pile of malachite that he had piled up not far from the tribe at that time, but directly skipped this and mastered the process of smelting meteorite iron.
That's really ......
I don't understand.
What is the situation?
A big jump in the smelting process?
Meteorite iron is an ore that has been formed over a long period of time after the fall of meteorites with extremely high iron content, and it is indeed a simple thing to smelt compared to iron ore that is unevenly distributed in the earth's crust.
However, this is a process that should only appear after the smelting process of copper is more mature.
Guo Sen pondered, could it be that the White Wolf Clan stumbled upon this area with a high content of meteorite iron when they were smelting copper? Or did they not smelt copper at all?
Puzzled, he simply checked the ore content and distribution of the nearby strata, and found a nearby meteorite layer that occupied a large area.
The ore layer is roughly located in a large crater with little outline in sight.
And on top of the black rubble in this pit, hundreds of white creatures are constantly working here.
They were holding metal tools, tapping at the rock surface, making ping-pong sounds from time to time.
There is no doubt that it is the white wolf group.
Guo Sen didn't go to see the scene of the hunting white wolf clan dividing the beast meat, but shifted his focus to the group that was mining here.
They're obviously a bit more interesting than the group of battle maniacs.
After all, last time, Guo Sen had only seen all kinds of battles related to the White Wolf Clan, and almost nothing else.
Now that they can go to mining, it already shows that civilization has taken a big step forward.
Guo Sen drew his gaze closer.
He wanted to take a good look at how this group of guys who originally even knew what minerals were, how they started mining.
However, the scene in front of him made him not know how to complain.
The white werewolves just collected the open-pit ore that had been broken into pieces and smashed them one by one with homemade hammers;
The ore was packed into a pocket made of animal skins, and then carried by some able-bodied people to a small river not too far from here.
On the side of the slow-flowing river, which was only about a meter deep, Guo Sen saw a raft made of several wooden stakes, and an animal skin swaying in the wind.
The thin, very large skin hung between two thin wooden stakes and was taut, and it could not help but bulge as the wind blew.
This seems to be a very simple and primitive sail!
The miners of the White Wolf Clan put the leather bags on top of the raft and pushed them into the water;
Some of them returned to the mines, while others followed the rafts downstream on the banks of the river.
e……
How should this be evaluated?
The technology to open a mine is almost non-existent.
If picking up gravel from the ground is considered mining, it is indeed a little.
How to transport?
Purely artificial.
Looking at the expressions of those white wolf clans carrying ores, they grinned one by one, and they did look tired enough.
However, they were able to make rafts, and even researched such things as "sails", which showed a certain amount of wisdom.
This is a primitive civilization with some advanced consciousness, which makes Guo Sen really a little incomprehensible.
The White Wolf Clan is indeed a civilization that allows him to see the unexpected at all times.
This can be seen from the fact that their advanced tribe was almost wiped out by the black wolf clan before.
However, since the ore is carried downstream, it is estimated that their smelter is also in the lower reaches of the river.
Guo Sen's gaze gradually moved forward with the small river.
Gray clay was plastered between the ochre-red square bricks, which accumulated in layers to outline a tall wall that was almost circular.
And inside the wall, there was a constant clanging sound.
Guo Sen couldn't hold back his desire to complain and continued to look inside.
The blast furnace was rudimentary, yes, similar to the one he had seen with the dwarven tribes three hundred years ago, a one-time blast furnace made of clay that was pushed when it ran out.
The werewolves stuffed a large amount of charcoal into it, threw firewood into it, and blew wind into it with pipes that looked like they were made of animal skins......
Well, look at the anvils for weapons and tools!
It was a large, almost rectangular sturdy meteorite anvil, which had been ground to an unusually smooth surface, and the werewolves were pouring the meteorite iron on which it had melted into a liquid mass and solidified a little, picking up the hammer and striking it repeatedly.
Guo Sen suddenly felt a little incomprehensible.
The civilization of the White Wolf Clan feels like a mixture of two extremes.
They were able to make clay into bricks and walls, and had a simple sense of "city wall";
But it is impossible to make a more advanced blast furnace, and even a decent blast device cannot be made;
But it can make a flat meteorite anvil......
What the hell is this!
White Wolf Clan, what happened to make the development of civilization such a mess?
Everything seems to be full of contradictions.
All kinds of technologies that are old and advanced appear in this tribe at the same time, which makes Guo Sen completely confused.
It stands to reason that the development of civilization should be more balanced, but here in the White Wolf Clan, it seems that this is not the case.
Some of their civilizations are extremely advanced, which makes Guo Sen's eyes shine.
And others, as if they hadn't changed for three hundred years, stagnated.
Guo Sen couldn't figure it out.
He felt that he should go to the tribe of the White Wolf Clan to have a look, and maybe he could find out what the answer was.
The tribe of humanoids is not hard to find.
Guo Sen soon saw a tribe in the forest not far from the smelter, in a clearing that had obviously been carved out by hand.
He carefully recalled that this location seemed to be the original place of origin of them before.
That is, the tribe that was once occupied by the Black Wolf Clan and recaptured.
However, the scale of this place seems to be much larger than what Guo Sen saw before.
It was originally a small area of a few thousand square meters, but now it can be expanded at least 100 times!
A wall, several meters wide, formed by a combination of sturdy wooden stakes and bricks, enclosed the huge tribe.
After processing the large and small trees into planks and pillars suitable for erection, the white wolf people used them to build houses into interconnected conjoined wooden houses.
Nearly 10,000 white figures are constantly moving and busy in this tribe......
