night

The moonless sky was a little dark

But there are still a few stars that are shining tenaciously

Next to a fireplace

Surrounded by a few people

It's constantly walking around

It seems to be anxiously waiting for something

At last, a young boy stopped them, went to the stove, opened it, cleaned up a large piece of debris, and at the bottom pulled out a fist-sized fiery red sponge substance.

It worked, and it really is!

Su Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart and placed it on the rock that had been selected a long time ago, and the black ear and white fang, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately began to hit it hard with the stone hammer in their hands, and the others began to add fuel to the furnace again......

Throughout the night, Su Ming and the others took turns to smelt and forge non-stop, and finally at dawn, they harvested two sledgehammers and three Mitsubishi spearheads. In order to make the first iron hammer, Su Ming and the others broke three stone hammers in succession before they finally succeeded.

In the footprints of the giant beast, Su Ming found that it was a red substance that they kicked out of the ground, and when he arrived to collect it and observe it in detail, he was also sure that it was hematite.

He gathered everyone to clean up a layer of dirt from the surface, revealing a large red ore face, which was a hematite vein.

The weapons in the tribe can be upgraded, and finally there can be metal weapons, as well as iron pots, and favorite stir-fried dishes.

However, since there was not much to prepare for the ore, everyone took off their animal skin jackets and used them to pack the ore they found, and eventually they were able to transport back a lot of hematite.

Some iron ore, Su Ming can't help but crave metal artifacts, this is a big event that will be written into the history of the tribe, and it is an epoch-making event, which marks that the fire tribe is about to leap from the Stone Age to the Black Iron Age.

So there was Su Ming, who had tools and weapons to smelt and forge overnight. After the iron ore was smelted, Su Ming found that the iron content of hematite was even higher than he expected, at least seventy percent, which was a super bonanza.

Although they had been working all night, Su Ming, who had already practiced well, did not feel a little tired, and they all felt very excited when they looked at the five iron tools placed in front of the priest and the leader.

Needless to say, the two iron hammers are mainly used for hammering and smelting the rough iron that is used as tools. But of the three cold and terrifying Mitsubishi spearheads, the leader Lie took out one and tied it firmly to the hardwood, ready to test its power.

Soon, an experimental target was made in the cave with ten layers of animal skins wrapped around the trunk of a tree, and six layers of animal skins could be penetrated with a stone spear in the past. And now that he is covered with ten layers, that is to believe what Su Ming said, the iron spear can easily penetrate the ten layers of animal skin.

The leader Lie held the spear, aimed at the target, held the spear shaft with both hands, and stabbed forward hard, the sharp Mitsubishi spear body easily pierced the animal skin, quickly devoured the spear body, and stabbed directly to the end, untied the animal skin, and saw that the spear had penetrated deeply into the trunk.

"Well, that's right, Su Ming will arrange a few people to lead the way later, and the hunting team doesn't have to do anything else today, just go and transport this hematite ore." I'll use this spear first. ”

Although Lie had tried his best to speak calmly, his constantly sudden strengthening of his chest and slightly trembling hands had betrayed him completely.

It's good that he's still able to behave like this in the face of suddenly having such a sharp weapon. The people around who saw the effect of the test had already begun to cheer.

The clansmen, who heard the cheers, who did not know what was going on, also cheered when they learned of the situation, and began to prepare tools to transport the ore with them.

After a while, there were only two dozen adults left in the cave, and the rest were children who had no ability to protect themselves.

After Su Ming and the others left, they also began to get busy, building a furnace for smelting, a simple air supply equipment, and most importantly, charcoal. Last night, they had run out of charcoal for smelting, which they had hastily burned.

For three days, the whole tribe was doing one thing, which was to transport hematite, and in the cave, a stone chamber was set aside for the tunli, and now a hill has appeared there from nothing. It was only after the stone chamber could no longer fit that they stopped their crazy momentum.

And Su Ming and they are not idle, the twelve special stoves and their supporting facilities have also been built, and the charcoal reserves for smelting can also support the simultaneous use of all furnaces, even the charcoal firing cannot be stopped.

The twelve people who participated in the construction that night were the clansmen who Su Ming had specially trained to strike iron. Now each of them guards a stove, and there is a special assistant next to them.

Twelve furnaces were smelted at the same time, and work began together, and all of a sudden, the mountains were filled with smoke, and the sound of beating came and went, and the sound shook into the sky.

Hammers, knives, axes, Mitsubishi spearheads

Iron tools were forged one after another, and the weapons in the hands of the tribal hunters were gradually updated, and the cold and glistening spearheads slowly replaced the sharp stones and became the only ones.

After the knife came to the front, in the hands of the women, the animal skins were cut neatly, and the animal skin clothes made were more beautiful and beautiful than before, and they made people look more energetic and clean when worn on the body.

The sharp iron axe makes the clansmen faster and more efficient when cutting wood, saving a lot of manpower.

Nowadays, in addition to clay pots and bowls, the tools used by everyone are made of iron. And a quarter of the hematite in the cave was useless, and seeing that pile of ore, Su Ming was planning what to do, otherwise it would be wasted if it was placed there.

It's like money, if you don't use it, it's just a pile of paper, and it doesn't show its value.

Su Ming thought of the flying lizard on the other side of the cave, and thought that if she was to pose a deadly threat to her, she would have to use a large weapon.

If that flying lizard comes back, then Su Ming and the others need a weapon that can deter or kill it, otherwise the tribe will not have enough supplies to trade, and the tribe's reserve of salt will only be enough for this winter.

If you do it again, then the whole tribe will be in a huge predicament, without enough salt, the hunters will not have enough strength to hunt, and without prey, only spring roots and other herbs will not be able to exchange much salt, such a vicious circle will completely destroy the fire tribe.

So, the matter of the flying lizard must be solved, and it will be listed as the most important thing for the tribe, which really has a bearing on the survival of the fire tribe.

"Good news, good news, good news!" shouted the hunter on the other side of the late autumn evening, as he ran.

There was a palpable excitement in his shouting voice, what had happened on the other side of the cave that made him so excited.
