Chapter 75: Bronze (I)
Yuhe's words disturbed Yuluo's heart, and the tone of her voice was too familiar, she instantly recalled the dream many years ago, and the words in her heart came out involuntarily: "Heavenly God? ”
Ding Nuo nodded and replied softly, "It's me." Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info You're getting a lot older, and I remember that you repeated it thirteen times in your dream before you learned to make a recurve bow. ”
Only the gods could tell how many times she had learned the repetition of the recurve in her dreams, which she never told anyone.
Yuluo was so excited that her whole body trembled, she staggered to the ground, kowtowed hard, looked at the little girl on the stone table with her eyes, and said reverently: "The gods are above, Huaxia has been waiting for you for too long." ”
Ding Nuo sat cross-legged on the stone table, raised his hand and signaled: "Get up, Yuluo, you are old, but you can't die yet." ”
She didn't dare to stand up, she sat directly on the ground, looked up at him, and said, "Mortals don't dare to be on an equal footing with you. ”
He jumped off the stone table, picked up the jade snail, and said to her, "Get up, jade snail." Don't be inhibited, I watched you grow up, and you are like my child. After death, you will turn into stars and bless China with your ancestors in the sky. ”
The so-called turning into stars is a lie, but Dino must say this, people must have some hope and awe, and it will be a disaster if the authority is too heavy and there is no constraint.
She showed a yearning expression and asked in a low voice, "Is the old mother also there?" ”
Dino nodded and replied, "Yes." Ji Shui has been watching you, and she is very satisfied with you. ”
Her expression darkened, and she said with self-reproach: "Yuluo is guilty, I didn't do a good job as a god, and let the tribe fall into danger." ”
Ding Nuo patted her on the shoulder and comforted, "You have done well enough, don't worry." The Flower Tribe will suddenly become powerful after receiving the guidance of the evil god. I'm here to help the tribe through this. ”
Yuluo received his assurance, immediately relieved, and said happily: "Great, Tianshen. After saying that, he wanted to kneel down and salute again, but Ding Nuo immediately grabbed her and said, "The etiquette of the mortal world has no meaning to me. ”
He got to the point and said seriously: "Time is pressing, I can only stay in the mortal world for half a year, and there are too many things to do." ”
"The gods have commanded, the jade snail and all the people of the tribe are your swords."
Knowing that he knew the most important thing at the moment, he said to Yuluo: "Tell me about the current situation of the tribe." ”
Yuluo told Ding Nuo about the situation of the tribe, and from the current data, it seems that the situation of the tribe is generally stable and stable. With a population of more than 20,000, it has become the largest organization in this land, and it is also a rare giant tribe in the entire wild world.
In the past few years, the wind and rain have been good, and the harvest has been bumper for four consecutive years, and a large amount of grain reserves have been obtained. And through fishing and pig raising, there was a stable source of meat, and the people of the Huaxia tribe were taller, stronger, and lived longer than other tribes. With food in hand, there is no panic in my heart, so even if the Fanhua tribe invades many times, the territory of Huaxia still remains stable.
Over the past six years, Jade Conch has spent a lot of energy researching bronze weapons. Through prisoners of war, the main raw materials for bronze, copper and tin, were identified, and a small open-pit copper mine was discovered, as well as tin ore, on a hill to the north. The ore collected is piled up, but how to refine it has become an obstacle, and there is no way to make a qualified bronze weapon in a short period of time. However, the bronze manufacturing process of the Fanhua tribe has improved rapidly, and even machetes made of pure bronze have appeared.
Speaking of this, Yuluo couldn't help but sigh and said, "Because of the gap in weapons, the tribe has sacrificed many warriors, which is hateful." ”
The will of the plane has opened it for them, but it doesn't matter that I have the plug-in, he said: "I understand, you first gather the person in charge of weapon manufacturing, and I will teach them how to refine bronze." ”
After hearing this, Yuluo immediately said, "Obey the gods!" Then his expression was a little tangled, and he stopped talking.
Ding Nuo asked suspiciously, "Is there anything else?" Go ahead. ”
She was afraid that he would be angry, so she cautiously asked, "Heavenly God, where has she been to Yuhe?" ”
It seems that Yuluo cares about Yuhe very much, and it is estimated that he regards her as a daughter, which is understandable, he replied: "Yuhe is fine, she is studying medicine, and she will wake up again after half a year, rest assured." ”
After hearing this, Yuluo breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "That's good, thank you gods, thank you." Then he hurriedly walked out.
...
The person in charge of weapon manufacturing in the Huaxia tribe is a petite middle-aged woman. Her name is Tao Yu, her hands are slender, and her eyes are particularly bright, and Ding Nuo knows at a glance that she is a smart person with a flexible brain. She speaks slowly and logically, and she has a set of effective methods for weapon making.
Under her leadership, a wooden recurve bow with pine as the main body was developed, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of tribal warriors. What surprised Dino the most was that she pioneered the concept of induction. Every tribal member who enters the weapons factory must receive more than half a year of training, first collectively for one month, and then adopt the method of bringing the old with the new to train qualified manufacturing personnel.
This method may seem rudimentary, but it was undoubtedly a cross-generational change in the Neolithic period, and the weapons factory she led was one of the reasons for the rapid expansion of the Chinese tribe.
What a talent, I didn't expect to have a surprise when I first came to the otherworldly earth, Ding Nuo kept looking at Tao Yu, which made her feel an indescribable weirdness, Yuhe looked completely different, it was like a different person.
In addition, what made her feel strange was that the attitude of the leader of the jade snail towards her seemed to be very... Awe? Thinking of this, she was a little panicked, what was she thinking, Yuhe was the leader's child, it was too disrespectful.
At this time, there were only three of them in the thatched hut, and everyone else was ordered to stay away from the thatched hut. Ding Nuo didn't want too many people to know that he had come, although it was difficult to stop the people of the Huaxia tribe from worshipping the gods, but he didn't want the Huaxia tribe to become a religious country like a European country.
Ding Nuo coughed and said, "Tao Yu, I am the god of Huaxia. ”
Tao Yu, who was on the side, was stunned after hearing this, opened his mouth to look at him, and then looked at the jade snail, only to see her nodding. Tao Yu immediately fell to the ground and shouted, "The gods are above!" ”
For the people of ancient times, the lethality of the gods was too great, and he could only help her up with a serious face and say, "Get up, don't kneel." Today I'm going to teach you how to refine bronze. ”
Tao Yu was about to scream when she heard the excitement, bronze bronze, she dreamed of bronze, and failed countless times to get bronze. Compared with the gods, bronze is more fatal to her, as long as she is taught to refine bronze, the so-called morning news of the road can die no more than that.
According to her, the reason for the tribe's failure to refine bronze was that the temperature was not enough to melt copper ore in large quantities.
To make bronze, the temperature of the furnace had to be raised, so Dino decided to burn the charcoal first, using an earthen kiln to make carbon, an ancient method that has been used for thousands of years, and even in modern times in some regions it is still used to make carbon.
The earthen kiln for firing charcoal is relatively simple, and it is divided into two parts. Above is the carbonization chamber, in which the wood is put and the chimney is left on top. Add firewood to the ground of the carbonization chamber and burn it, so that the wood in the carbonization chamber gradually burns. When the smoke from the chimney turns from white to green, the fire can be stopped and sealed, and the kiln can be dug up to extract carbon after two or three days.
Under the guidance of Dino, five earthen kilns were built on a hillside behind the tribal camp that day, and charcoal was fired.
