Chapter 21: The Iron Age

"Bang Bang~"

The cycads held a crude hammer and repeatedly pounded the red-hot iron embryo.

He was forging hammers, and the one in his hand was crude, made from iron ore melted and molded directly into molds. That is to say, it will be used to meet the needs of the present.

Su Yu watched it with relish from the side, he had never seen the iron, and now there was the scene of the iron, so he couldn't take a closer look.

But it didn't take long for Su Yu to be sweating profusely, and it was too hot in this room. Although he could still stand the heat, Su Yu still went out, why did he run to suffer by himself if he could not be offended.

Su Yu believes in the level of cycads, so let him play by himself.

In other rooms, two blacksmiths are teaching apprentices. The smelting technology can only be given to three people, the cycads are making tools, and they are going to the tribe to select suitable people to learn the smelting technology.

Of course, they couldn't see who had talent and who didn't, but Su Yu could see that he handed over to them the few people in the tribe who had forging talents, although the talents of those apprentices were not as good as the three of them, but it was better than nothing.

In addition to a few apprentices with a bit of talent, there are also a few apprentices in the blacksmith shop who have no talent for blacksmithing.

In Su Yu's view, it is better to have talent, but not having talent does not mean that you can't learn, Su Yu feels that he can't just look at talent, and he can cultivate without talent.

"Congratulations to your people on successfully crafting iron tools, civilization has entered the Iron Age, gaining civilization points of 2000, industry points of 20, and 100 forging steel technology (automatically mastered by all blacksmith professions in the tribe)."

"The level of civilization has reached the Iron Age, and the system mall has updated its products."

"System Marketplace Update?" Su Yu only remembered now that he hadn't looked at anything in the mall for a long time.

As for the reason, it is that there are not many things in the Stone Age Mall that he used before, so it is better to save civilization points.

What is sold in the mall is not a rare thing, some of Su Yu have the same as others, and some can be made without buying Su Yu.

Su Yu opened the mall page to see what good things it had updated.

Now Su Yu has 5,200 civilization points, which looks like a huge amount of money, but when Su Yu sees the price of goods in the mall, the five thousand is not much.

[Tang Knife Forging Technique: 2000 Civilization Points]

[Mingguang Armor Forging Technique: 3000 Civilization Points]

……

Su Yu took a fancy to these two goods, and the others were either too expensive or too frivolous.

After buying these two, Su Yu turned back into a poor bastard.

However, as long as these two pieces of equipment are made, the Linshui tribe will be able to walk sideways in this area, and none of those primitive tribes can beat the warriors on their side.

Su Yu gave these two techniques to the three of them and asked them to forge them.

"If you have enough materials, how long will you be able to build them?"

"Patriarch, I took a look, even if the materials are complete, it will take three days for the three of us to create a set of Mingguang armor together. Tang Dao is also more troublesome, and it may take about four days to build it alone. Cycad replied.

"That's it, it's okay, you just need to build it, just build a few pieces." Su Yu was a little disappointed when he heard his answer, but he was quickly relieved, slow down, just be able to build it anyway, and now he is not in such a hurry to popularize these two pieces of equipment.

Compared to weapons, many tools are urgently needed. For example, the iron axe, the efficiency of cutting trees in the tribe is particularly slow, and the stone axe is easy to break at every turn.

Speaking of cutting trees, Su Yu thought of saws, so Su Yu exchanged with cycads about the forging method of saws.

The saw was much simpler than the Tang knife, and Su Tie said confidently, "Patriarch, tomorrow I can make the saw you said." ”

"Okay, I believe in your abilities."

……

At night, the tribe is brightly lit.

In many parts of the tribe, torches are planted, and this torch is made by soaking twine in animal fat.

And the hemp rope is made of hemp plants that can be seen everywhere, and these hemp plants were brought back by Su Qing, and Su Yu ignored them before.

Seeing these hemp plants today, Su Yu remembered that the plants used to make hemp rope can be seen everywhere.

Some people in the tribe learned how to make hemp rope, and some even studied how to weave linen.

If it weren't for Su Yu taking a look at the system news, Su Yu didn't expect the patriarchs to be so powerful.

"Congratulations to your people for successfully crafting hemp rope and earning 100 Civilization Points and 10 Industry Points."

"Congratulations to your people for mastering the skill of weaving and earning 200 Civilization Points and 10 Industry Points."

At this rate, it won't be long before Su Yu doesn't have to wear animal skin clothes.

To tell the truth, the animal skin clothes that Su Yu is wearing now are not clothes, they are just a piece of animal skin wrapped around his body.

And linen is different, it is woven and can be woven to the desired look according to the requirements.

Su Yu called the person who had comprehended the textile skills to come over, but he didn't expect it to be Su Qing.

"Did you learn to weave?" Su Yu was a little confused.

"Yes, patriarch, I found that these hemp have a lot of use, and they are used to make hemp rope, so thin silk can become very tough when twisted together, and they can pull it hard, and ......, I let them use these thin hemp to weave like a basket, and they can actually weave it into something like animal skin."

Su Qing didn't know that this was called cloth, so he could only describe it as much as possible.

Su Yu really didn't expect that after giving her the basic plant encyclopedia, her research direction would run counter to medicine.

Of course, she can't be blamed for this. That book has little to do with medicine, she can recognize all the herbs, and she knows what the effect of each herb is, but she doesn't know what the therapeutic effect is when mixed together, after all, this is not a medical book.

Su Yu chatted with her and talked about some insights on textiles, which provided Su Qing with a lot of ideas, making her eager to try new methods and new ideas in her mind.

"You can communicate with the rest of the tribe, there is strength in numbers."

"Uh-huh." Su nodded vigorously.

With a new harvest, Sue left bounced and left, and went to her friends to study new ideas.

Seeing this little girl so happy, Su Yu suddenly remembered that she was still a child.

At a young age, she took on a task that she shouldn't have took.

It is illegal to use child labor, it is really not forced by Su Yu, it is voluntary by her.

Those who are capable work harder, Su Yu thought.

It's late at night, and it seems that there are still points that have not been added.

If you look at the points you get, it's basically industrial points. Su Yu clicked [Productivity I.], and then [Technology II] and [Science II.] as well.

The remaining points were not enough to continue upgrading, and Su Yu closed the industrial interface.

Level II to Level III., Su Yu glanced at it, asking for 40 industrial points, according to this calculation, this level is doubled, and then it is 80,160,320...... Who knows how many levels it has.

Shaking his head, Su Yu didn't want to. Open the military interface and have 30 military power. So he clicked [Actual Combat II.].

Looking at the Farming panel, the points accumulated on a daily basis and the rewards for triggering events add up to twenty points.

Compared to the other four options, Su Yu hesitated for a moment and added these points to [Agronomy II.].

Some of the effects of adding points are obvious, and some are not.

But since there is, then it must be added.

With a yawn, Su Yu lay down and went to sleep.
