When they walked to the position where they could see the foot of Changzhu Mountain, Zhang Xiangyang and Wu Sang saw several people digging a pit.

The two of them walked over together, and when they got close to the location of the dirt pit, they saw the current progress clearly.

Zhang Han and Fan Bin were digging with flat wood, while the rest of the group were either collecting stone fragments nearby or looking for something usable in the nearby grass.

Zhang Bin should be scouting above, the foot of the mountain is not necessarily safe, no one is condescending to look at it from afar, and the people below can't react when they encounter danger.

Ling Ling saw Zhang Xiangyang and Wu Sang coming back, approached and said, "Brother Xiangyang, how is the situation?" ”

Zhang Xiangyang said: "I came back from taking water safely, but I checked the situation over there, the situation is not optimistic, the wild boar king is more fierce and dangerous than imagined, don't go to the river for the time being, start from the west, and explore the cave clearly." ”

Wu Sang put the basket down, tied the basket with the rope that Zhang Bin had lowered, and then moved out of the way and asked Zhang Bin to pull the basket full of water cylinders up.

Zhang Bin knows how to complete some things with the most effort, such as the labor-saving device for pulling things has long been used in this kind of thing.

"I'll dig for a while, you rest." Zhang Xiangyang walked to Zhang Han, squatted down and motioned for Zhang Han to give him the tools.

Zhang Han exhaled, wiped the sweat on his forehead with the clothes on his arm, and handed the combined bamboo piece in his hand to Zhang Xiangyang.

"Here you go, I'll rest, I'm tired."

Zhang Han looked at the bamboo basket that was pulled up on one side, bent down to pick up a bamboo pipe, opened the lid and tilted his head to pour the warm water in the bamboo pipe into his mouth.

After taking two sips, Zhang Han looked at Zhang Xiangyang, "Xiangyang, do you want to drink water?" ”

"No, you don't." Zhang Xiangyang quickly dug the soil, and after more than 20 seconds of shaving, he stopped to rest, "This tool is not good, it will not be used for a long time." ”

Zhang Han drank all the water in the bamboo tube, wiped his mouth and said: "Now it's at most this level, I can't find hard and easy-to-process materials." ”

Fan Bin also sat on the side to rest, digging this kind of thing is manual work, the faster you dig, the faster you get tired, it is normal to take a few minutes to rest.

The body's explosive ability is very short-lived, but its endurance is excellent among many creatures.

Hearing the conversation between Zhang Han and Zhang Xiangyang, Fan Bin said: "How about making a ground drill for digging things?" ”

Zhang Han quickly denied: "It's not practical, the soil here is full of stones, and the wood can't be drilled, and it can only be used to dig wells, and the ground drill that is only used once is not as good as our direct drilling of wells." ”

Ling Ling squatted next to Zhang Xiangyang and said, "Let's dig directly, Sister An Ran and Zhang Bin both said that water can be dug here, and Ling Ling also thinks so, and it is not particularly slow to dig with a bamboo raft tied together." ”

Wu Sang walked over, she heard the proposal of several people, and took the initiative to say at this time: "It just so happens that the food and clothing are not particularly tight now, and the manpower is also sufficient, why don't we make iron!" ”

It's ironmaking again......

Zhang Han looked at Wu Sang speechlessly, "Iron tools are very good, what is most lacking now is not iron, it is something else, and it is not to find some ore to train iron." ”

Wu Sang retorted: "We don't lack anything now, the technology of iron-making, almost everyone here understands, looking for iron ore is Shiqin, me, Zhang Bin, Xiangyang, and the charcoal and clay reserves now are enough for the first batch of iron-making, and after the completion of this well, the water needed for iron-making is not a problem!" ”

Zhang Xiangyang asked curiously, "What do you want water for?"

Zhang Han explained helplessly: "For cooling." Whether it is processing or cooling, a lot of water is needed, and it is not enough to rely on the point in our water tank, most of the first batch of training we have produced is iron slag, and it is not that it can be used as a weapon after training, and it is very problematic when processing. ”

Fan Bin was also opposed to making iron now, and then said: "There are no strong enough auxiliary tools to beat the red-hot iron into the shape we want, and neither stone nor wood is capable of this, unless it is possible to find bronze, which is less difficult." ”

Wan Jing looked at Wu Sang and comforted: "We know technology, but no one here has personally participated in ironmaking, and there is no experience in working in a factory, ironmaking is definitely not as simple as we imagined, and now charcoal has to be used to survive this cold winter, and it can't be used easily......

The rest of the people knew the importance of iron, but everyone also knew that the iron they could make now was definitely not the same as the iron they could make in the factory.

The pieces of iron they make are not even as good as garbage in the ironworks of industrial society.

Because it is not useful at all, and there are still many things to do, the rest of the people are not enthusiastic about ironmaking, and even oppose it.

The manpower and material resources required for ironmaking will definitely affect the normal operation of this small team!

Wu Sang also knows these truths, and Wu Sang can also think of things that others can think of.

It's just that everyone underestimated Wu Sang's dedication to ironmaking!

As the captain, Wu Sang was instructed to assist the captain in establishing an industrial system as soon as possible and regaining weapons.

According to the original plan, there should be a lot of props to use at the beginning, but unknown changes and encounters have made everyone fall to the point of starting from scratch, and even the main leaders are gone.

Wu Sang knew that he couldn't convince those smart people, and when it came to reasoning, these people were better than him.

Therefore, Wu Sang looked at Zhang Xiangyang.

"Xiangyang, don't you want an iron weapon?"

Wu Sang looked at Zhang Xiangyang, hoping to get Zhang Xiangyang's support.

Zhang Xiangyang showed an embarrassed expression, "I don't think it's a matter of iron or not iron now, the enemy we encounter is not an enemy that can be solved with iron weapons, unless it is a pistol and gunpowder, otherwise iron weapons alone are not much different from current weapons." ”

Whether it is an ape monster, a wild boar king or a basilisk, it is not something that iron can deal with, and Zhang Xiangyang is also not very interested in iron-making, and feels that it is not necessary.

Wu Sang thought for a while, and soon said solemnly: "Then Xiangyang, take this well as a reference, if you can dig out the water smoothly, then the next step is to make iron, if you can't dig water, don't make iron for the time being!" ”

Zhang Han looked speechless, pursed his lips, and said: "Hey, hey, don't be like this, why do you have to make iron, is that kind of thing useful to improve our chances of survival?" ”

Zhang Xiangyang sighed, stood up and said, "Okay, but I'm not good at this kind of thing, and I'm not in charge of this, the main task at the moment is to collect fur and food." At most, I'll be careful when I'm out hunting, and bring back iron ore if I come across it. ”

Seeing that Zhang Xiangyang had made a plan, Zhang Han frowned and said, "Is this okay?" ”

Zhang Xiangyang comforted: "It's okay, it's been dangerous outside for a while, it's not suitable for everyone to go out together, you don't have anything else to do at home, there is always some help in making iron, this thing has to be done early." ”

Lingling stood up and followed Zhang Xiangyang's arrangement and said: "The west is all mountainous, and there is a greater possibility of ore, and there is no problem in making iron, the first step is to collect ore and clay, and what clay needs is clay without impurities, preferably clay on the ant's nest." ”

Zhang Xiangyang said with a smile: "Let's dig the well first, and then discuss the matter of ironmaking at dinner in the evening, I need to know what I need, so I also have a plan." ”

"Good!" Lingling nodded in agreement, and at the same time began to think about how to smelt iron, although she was young, she was a genius since she was a child, drawing inferences from one another, and knowing no less than the rest.

Wu Sang breathed a sigh of relief, the matter of iron-making was an explanation she had given to her before, whether it was her duties or something else.

"Thank you." Wu Sang took Fan Bin's bamboo stick and began to dig in the pit with Zhang Xiangyang.

Zhang Xiangyang said politely: "It's okay, I don't know what to do next, I can't think of anything other than hunting, if the iron smelting is successful, it will be a good thing for us." ”

If you don't go to the bamboo forest these days, Zhang Xiangyang's plan is to go hunting every few days, and if you go every day, it is easy to be counterattacked by the jackals.

The jackals are not ordinary beasts, Zhang Xiangyang can feel the wisdom of these beasts, whether it is an ambush or a predatory method, they all reveal wisdom.

And another point is that both jackals and wolves have the ability to learn!
