"Da Niu, immediately gather the clansmen, except for the patrols of the left-behind tribes and some disabled and unable to move, everyone, including old and young women, all set off with me to the back mountain."

"No!"

Da Niu replied simply, turned around and went to execute.

If it were to be replaced by the thorn head of the Burning Mountain, I would probably have to ask why.

Fortunately, they set off to dig the Lingyuan Stone in the territory of the Beidi people last night, and they don't know if things are going smoothly now.

There are no modern communication tools, and the message can only be delivered face-to-face here, and it is no problem for him to listen to you, and it is impossible to communicate from a distance.

Looking at the old people and children in the tribe, as well as women, gathered among the few young and strong, looking at him a little dazedly, Li Hao felt a little unbearable.

However, after all, they are only a small tribe, and the available young people are really limited, and they are also responsible for patrolling and defense. If you want to do things, many times, you can only let the old and weak women and children go on top together.

In the early days of tribal construction, a high degree of centralization like his was also a helpless move. He hated tyrants and didn't want to say anything, but the current management model that was most conducive to the rapid construction and development of the tribe could only be like this.

He needed that kind of unequivocal authority.

At least he has a limited culture and can only think of this management model.

Although it seems a little simple and crude, Li Hao believes that this is the right choice.

"Did you eat enough last night?"

"Did the grilled fish smell good this morning? Fat or not? ”

When he used to work, few people asked him for warmth, and sometimes he couldn't eat for work, and no one asked him if he was hungry or tired.

Therefore, he thinks that a few words of greeting before letting others do their work should play a role in encouraging.

"Eat your fill! I've never eaten so much, little Ahao, you are a good patriarch, and you didn't give you delicious food in vain when you were a child......"

The tribe is actually a big family, and all the clansmen are related by blood and flesh and blood, so many old people and women are smiling in front of him, the patriarch, chattering and talking, and they don't care about it at all.

Li Hao didn't mind, they were not tribal warriors, there was no need to be strict, as long as they were willing to work together and contribute to the construction of the tribe.

"It's good to eat enough, then I'll ask you again, do you want to be able to eat enough every day?"

As soon as Li Hao said this, he unsurprisingly received a unanimous affirmative answer.

"Okay, since everyone seems to be full every day, let's go to the back mountain with the patriarch to pick up stones!

Walk! ”

"Okay, we're willing to go!"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, hesitated for a moment, didn't understand the patriarch's reasoning too much, and didn't understand what the inevitable connection between picking up stones and eating a full meal, could it be that the stones picked up this time can be eaten as food?

Everyone was looking forward to it, and soon they all responded together.

"Let's go!"

Li Hao didn't want to fool everyone, but their idea was actually right, although the stones couldn't be eaten directly, but after picking up the stones, he did have a way to make food for everyone again, and he could get a lot.

"Everyone, watch it! Look at this shining yellow or red crystal stone in my hand, this is the kind of stone we are here to pick up,......,yes, yes, your piece is right, pick it up and put it in the basket......"

This type of stone that glows yellow or red in the sunlight is chalcopyrite and copper.

It is the two copper-containing ores that Li Hao has been in contact with the most in the retro amusement park before, and if it is replaced by other types of copper ore, he will not know it.

And the reason why he asked everyone to pick up these ores is also for a purpose!

He's going to collect copper ore, refine copper tools, earn tech points, and light up the farming technology that the tribe desperately needs.

However, while everyone is picking up stones, everyone who picks up ores will be given technology points by the technology tree.

The numbers "+1+1......, +2+2......+5+5......" are beating happily.

Li Hao is happy!

+1 means that the clansmen have picked up copper ore, and +2 is iron ore.

+5, which means that they have picked up gold mines, and the gold mines in this world can often be used in witchcraft battles, which is an extremely precious and rare metal.

The people were busy gathering stones and putting them in baskets.

Li Hao brought Da Niu and a few other soldiers to dig in the mud, and he wanted to fabricate an earthen blast furnace.

In the case of copper smelting, it is not necessarily necessary to have a blast furnace, after all, the melting point of copper is not high, about 1,000 degrees, and ordinary firewood can melt and refine it.

In the primitive period, sometimes people burned stones with fire in order to open up mountains and roads, or build stone stoves to barbecue food, and the stones often inexplicably flowed high temperature juice, and after cooling, they were yellow and clear, especially beautiful, that is, copper.

This is also how humans first discovered copper.

However, in order to improve efficiency, Li Hao still chose to use the techniques he was most familiar with to refine copper ore.

Picking out the most delicate clay from the side of the stream, Li Hao began to knead the simple blast furnace on the nearby flat ground.

In the past, he often watched videos related to copper smelting by the local method, and after watching it, he pondered and practiced. It's not just about working and surviving, in fact, he feels that making this thing, although it is very laborious and the working environment is also very poor, he seems to have a natural love for these things, and every time he makes a retro product, he can gain great joy.

With the help of Da Niu and others, he quickly pinched a half-person high, nearly one meter diameter of the earthen blast furnace, a simple fire to dry, there were no cracks or pores, indicating that the quality of the clay is very good, very suitable for building a blast furnace.

Li Hao no longer hesitated, and directly set up firewood and began to smelt copper ore.

"Crackling ......"

The fire crackled, and Li Hao used a piece of sheepskin and a few wooden sticks to make a simple hand-pressed blower bag, which was sewn by a woman who was good at making linen with a bone needle and handed it to the young soldier to help burn.

It may be that the warriors were strong enough to blow the wind, and the flames in the blast furnace burned more and more, and even rumbled inside, like the wind passing through the mouth of the valley, and like the roar of some kind of wild beast.

"Boom ......"

What Li Hao didn't expect was that the smelting of copper ore was surprisingly fast, and soon a pool of red and fiery solution gushed out of the mouth of the furnace, along the ditch, into several crucibles that Li Hao had already buried.

"Good guys!"

Looking at the steady flow of copper water, Li Hao called out to the good guy, he didn't expect that a furnace of ore would smelt so much copper water, and it was impossible to put the blue star who lived before him.

No wonder he felt weird just now, now it seems that this world is indeed weird, although many things can refer to previous experience, but some things, previous experience is completely useless.

However, these strange things are undoubtedly beneficial to Li Hao.

"Excellent! In this way, you can refine some more bronze tools, and the technology points will definitely be further obtained, and when the time comes, it is not a dream to directly lead the tribe to run into the farming era! ”
