Fortunately, it was not so powerful that it was completely impossible to deal with, and with the advantage of numbers, Shi Yong still led people to hold a shield and easily solved the few people who turned in.

In addition to these things, the stone also made several pottery molds, in the shape of axes, hammers, etc., knives and other requirements will be higher, or axes are simple, and they can be used immediately after making them.

In addition, there are two blowers, the blower in the tribe is still the original structure, after all, the tool has not changed much, although it was not good for a while before, but it is relatively simple to make, and the outer frame is also quite durable, just change the animal skin inside.

Stone has now basically mastered the temperature of firing pottery, and in addition to the blower at first, it is only used when adding charcoal later.

However, the next refining will have to keep the temperature high throughout the whole process, even if it is to add charcoal, it has to be lit outside and then sent in, since I don't know how high the temperature is needed, it is still the highest that can be achieved in the tribe.

A third of the ore seized from the black feather has been smashed into a third of the stone, and in case it fails, there will still be some stock, but even a third will be full of a large pot.

Although some of the stones looked mediocre, Song Xuan didn't let the stones pick them out, Song Xuan also knew that the simple copper was completely useless, it was too soft, and Wu Yu's was obviously a little hard, but he didn't know what it had to do with Song Xuan's somewhat familiar bronze.

Song Xuan also knew that the bronze was a copper-tin alloy, as for the specific proportion, it was not very clear, there was a little white gravel in the smashed stone, and he didn't know if it was tin, after these weapons were captured, Song Xuan carefully checked them, at least indicating that there should be none.

As for whether there is one in it, and how many there are, it can only depend on the refinement later, and the best situation is naturally to determine that there are both, and the proportion doesn't matter, anyway, what Teng Snake has now is only a few dozen weapons, and the big head still has to find a way to go to Wu Yu to get it.

However, copper and tin are also very common, otherwise they would not be so widely used in the Bronze Age, as for the iron ore Song Xuan has no idea for the time being, he still has to take it step by step, and as long as the bronze can be used well, there is no problem at all to meet the needs of Teng Snake.

"Gravel!"

"Charcoal!"

……

In order to ensure sufficient temperature, Song Xuan also added some charcoal to the crucible, at least in the early stage, it was easy to raise the temperature, and the crucible was still very thick.

After everything was ready, Song Xuan began to officially refine, to be honest, Song Xuan was also a little nervous in his heart, after all, if he succeeded, it would have a great effect on the Teng Snake, and there were not many ores that could be used, even if the crucible was not big, this one-third of the ore could only be tried more than once.

Although whether it is successful or not, you need to go to the mines of the Black Feather tribe later, but if it is determined to be feasible, at least it will not be used to run back, of course, there may be a conflict with the Black Feather tribe at that time, but fortunately, according to the captive, the place where the ore is located is not close to the Black Feather Tribe, and the specific information has not had time to ask, but as long as it is not near the Black Feather, it will be easier to steal or rob.

"Ignition!"

Although the momentum is very strong, in fact, Song Xuan took a torch and lit the straw in the stove, and the straw was charcoal and pine resin, the amount of charcoal was too much, and some pine resin mixed in the middle could also ignite it quickly.

Soon the fire in the furnace became bigger, feeling the high temperature in the furnace, Song Xuan and Shi also began to use the blower to blow air inside, after all, it was experimental in nature, and it involved tribal secrets, Song Xuan did not dare to pretend to be someone else's hand.

Although there are many people in the tribe who know bronze, Song Xuan has never said anything about the principle, let alone how to refine it, although many people can guess it, but even if it is a furnace, Song Xuan also made the stone alone, and did not let others participate, but before it succeeds, even if it is his own people, he has to take some precautions.

After all, there are several forces in the tribe now, although they are all Teng Snake's people, but after experiencing the defection of Shui Dark last time, Song Xuan can only leave a few more hearts, although everyone usually seems to have no problem, but it is really hard to say if they really encounter a dangerous moment, after all, no one has ever been suspicious of Shui Secret before this, and they are very strict with those captives, and it is not surprising that a few people defect.

Although the possibility is getting smaller and smaller now, it is certainly not wrong to keep this kind of thing more tightly guarded.

Song Xuan also knew that if he wanted to melt the metal, in addition to the high temperature, it would take a long time, especially the temperature that could be generated in the tribe was relatively limited, and the charcoal was estimated to be more than a thousand degrees, if it was copper, there would definitely be no problem in melting it, but it would not be so easy.

Song Xuan didn't dare to take it out and observe it easily, and didn't take it out to take a look until it burned for more than half an hour, although it hadn't completely melted, but there were already signs of it, at least he could see that it was definitely not an ordinary stone, and the temperature of the stone would not have such an effect at all.

"Oracle, can you do it?"

I tossed it for almost two hours, and added charcoal repeatedly in the middle, but fortunately, I was well prepared enough to burn it for so long, and only used a dime.

"Take it out and look at it again!"

Carefully took out the crucible, only to see that it was already liquid, but there was still a layer of broken stone floating on the surface, obviously the density was relatively low, but it was easier to clean up, Song Xuan picked up the small pottery spoon that had been prepared, and slowly scooped away the broken stone on the surface.

Underneath is red copper.

"Oracle, this ......"

Seeing that the original stone was burned to this condition, the stone looked at Song Xuan in disbelief, only to see Song Xuan nod affirmatively:

"This is it!"

It was not that the stone had not been tested with ordinary stones, it was still the same anyway, at most the surface had changed color slightly, and it might be easier to crumble after burning, but he had never seen any stone that could be burned into a puddle of water in the end.

"Where's the mold?"

In this way, the stone was a little in a daze, Song Xuan hurriedly called him, as the temperature decreased, the copper water would gradually solidify, and what needed to be done now was to pour it into the mold before cooling.

The mold made of stone is not spliced together in two halves, but a whole, leaving a gap on it, so that although it is more troublesome to make, all that needs to be done is to pour copper water into it, and then let it cool naturally.

Carefully poured the copper water into the mold, there were a lot of them, and Song Xuan asked the stone to bring other styles, in addition to the axe, it was a hammer, and the two were more convenient to do.

At first, Song Xuan thought that after removing the impurities, there might not be much copper water left, but who knew that in the end, it was filled with five molds, and you must know that the stones were only made of ten in total.

You must know that a total of seven axes were used, which was just a spearhead, and the remaining arrows Song Xuan did not move for the time being, after all, the arrows seemed to be made of better materials, even if they were not refined, they could be used directly, before they were successful, Song Xuan still wanted to leave them, at least if they could use this kind of arrows, for Shi Yu, their combat effectiveness could also be improved a lot.

"Divine Messenger, can it succeed?"

Although it is now basically determined that it must be copper, Song Xuan is still unsure whether he can directly make bronze, after all, the proportion of bronze also needs to be constantly groped to make it, and at this time, Teng Snake can only try his luck from the few ores.

If there is tin in it, it can make the copper not so soft, but if it doesn't, it would be a pity, and it may not even be as good as not moving at all after the physical examination.

"Wait until they're all cool!"

However, no one can know what is going on until it is completely cooled, and the current copper water or liquid temperature is very high, and it will take a lot of time to let it cool down naturally.

Although the result is still unclear, at least the whole process is not too problematic, after all, it is just to melt copper with a low melting point, and it is not particularly difficult, even if it is just a simple small furnace, it can be solved relatively easily.

Let the stone stay here and watch, while Song Xuan went to the tribe to go around.

This is also something that cannot be rushed, the copper water just now is hundreds of degrees larger, and the two of them can't just stay here with big eyes and small eyes.

When Song Xuan came back yesterday, he only glanced at it roughly, and he stayed in the house and didn't go out, and the specific progress was not particularly clear, so he just took advantage of the time to go out and have a look to understand the situation.

There is also a fence around the stove, although it is not particularly high, but it is not too much of a problem to block the situation inside.

After coming out, not far away is the kiln in the tribe, the kiln was filled with wood before, and it was not very convenient to carry, when the black feather surrounded the snake, it did not start on it, and after the battle, it was emptied of the wood by the stone with people, although the kiln was not reopened during this time, but it can be burned at any time.

Although the tribe had accumulated a lot of pottery before, with the addition of so many people, most of it was emptied at once, especially the pots and the like that were not very stocked before, and they were not even enough.

Although so many captives were captured, after all, they had been chasing and killing, so many people's pottery was directly lost, and the pottery pills standing around Teng Snake were not too complete according to the standards of the stone, and there were not even a few suitable ones in it, if it was not really enough, it would not be used, even so, after Song Xuan took a batch away to exchange with other tribes, in the end, he could only barely get a bowl for one person.

Of course, there must still be some in the tribe, but that is the margin that everyone usually uses, so naturally it is impossible to use it on this group of captives.

If the refining is successful this time, the stones behind can be liberated a little, and then a batch of pots and pans can be burned.

Especially pots, iris rain they can only send one per family until now, the tribe's clay pots are not just for washing, washing is just one of its functions.

The same goes for the pot, after all, it is his own person, and the conditions can't be too bad, so he doesn't have to be like a captive, only one basin is issued in a room, and he is used for washing or eating, of course, this is also limited now, and there will definitely be a few more in the future.

Fortunately, the pottery in the tribe is now very mature, as long as the stone is given enough time to burn the pottery that satisfies the use of Teng Snake, it is not a problem at all.

The construction of the new main house has also begun, and it is not difficult to build a large house with the current craftsmanship of Teng Snake, after all, the main body is supported by thick wood, which is relatively very strong, and the previous house has also undergone the test of winter, even if the snow is completely covered, it is only a few "squeaks".

But after all, it is the most important house in the tribe, so it must be more careful, and Shi Ban also went out in person to make sure that there would be no problems with the placement of the woods.

The mortise and tenon structure between the woods was determined after the felling, and although it was burned by fire, the stone class was also carefully cut, and the connection was basically very strong.

However, if the bronze can be made, the carpenter work in the tribe will be much simpler in the future, although it can also achieve a certain effect by burning with fire, but it is only the most rudimentary, such as grinding and cutting, which is not only slow, but also the effect is not particularly good.

And once there are bronze tools, whether it is to cut or cut will be much easier, not only will it make things better, but it will also save more time, and the tribe now wants to cut down a tree, at least half a day.

But if there is a proper axe, this time will be greatly shortened, let alone the future production.

Although the craftsmanship in the tribe has improved a lot compared to when Song Xuan first came, the things he makes are often stupid and coarse, and the finer things that Song Xuan wants are basically impossible to make, and with bronze tools, I believe this is not a problem, of course, the premise of all this is based on the success of the experiment, if it fails, then it will have to wait for a long time.

More than 100 acres of rice fields have been newly cultivated opposite the tribe, although there is still a certain distance from the small hillside, but further east, it is very close to the foot of the mountain, once the terrain is high, the water diversion is not so convenient, and further east there is a hillside block, and the light will be much less.

The water used in the tribe now is mainly achieved by the terrain, if the position is too high, it is necessary to move the water inlet up a lot, if it is just to maintain the state at this time, there is basically no need to move the original water inlet, only need to dig some ditches in the new rice field, it can be completely unblocked.

After all, it will be used next year, and digging a ditch is too time-consuming, so it is more reasonable to toss a few acres of land here and let it come in handy as soon as possible.

This more than 100 acres of newly reclaimed rice fields are also the fastest to clean up, at this time there are sixty or seventy captives in the rice field are busy cleaning up the roots, more than ten days of busy survival, basically more than half of the clearing, the next I believe that there should be no problem before the winter comes, and according to Shi Meng, this rice field, at most, there are nearly 150 or 60 people.

After all, it can be connected to the previous rice fields, and everyone knows the priority, although the area in the south is relatively large, but after all, all of them are newly cultivated, and it is unknown whether they can be used next year, and how much they can be used.

However, although there are still some large wooden stakes on it, the surface is already bare, and after a fire, there is nothing left.

The big stake can only be burned slowly little by little by using the most primitive method, but there are enough straw in the tribe now, plus some branches, and the progress is quite objective.

Even if the roots of these trees still contain a lot of water, they can slowly burn into the ground if the fire is strong enough.

Everyone also knows that when it is completely dry and then burned, it will definitely be a lot simpler, but what is lacking in the tribe is this little time, if you don't clean it up as much as possible at this time, you can only get it after the snow closes the mountain, and the snow has soaked for a whole winter, and you want to wait for it to dry, that time is not short, and the roots may have weathered a little, but there may not be, and now there are few.

But busy for so many days, those particularly conspicuous, has been basically cleaned up, the next is the real battle, Teng snake experienced people know that those who say thick is not thick, said thin roots are not only numerous, and it is very troublesome to clean up, unlike thin roots, even if they are not cleaned, it will not have much impact on planting.

And once it reaches the thickness of a finger, it is basically difficult to get around when plowing the field, and if you don't clean it up, even the rice is not easy to grow, and the rice field cannot be completely opened.

So the next thing you need to do is to dig up the surface layer of soil, so that these roots are exposed, buried in the soil is difficult to solve, as long as it is exposed, whether it is cut or burned, you can find a way to clean it up.

It's a big deal to collect enough branches and fallen leaves next year, and then there will be a big fire, although these things are a bit troublesome to collect, but after all, Teng Snake is surrounded by mountains and forests, and there are very many of them.

"Oracle!"

Back in the tribe, Shihua is still taking Xue'er to understand the different roles of various houses in the tribe, especially some important places, such as warehouses and granaries, even if the snake is not allowed to get close to each other without permission.

Moreover, Song Xuan also gave an order, if he was stubborn, he could even be arrested on the spot, if he was not from his own tribe, he could even be killed on the spot, and everyone had to supervise each other to ensure that the warehouses were safe enough.

Although Teng Snake does not have any rare treasures, the things stored in the warehouse and the granary are related to everyone's stomach problems, and many of the things stored in it may not be very precious in Teng Snake, but it is also quite good if they are placed in other tribes.

I cherish myself, this should be the truth.

"Woo!"

Wangcai, who was playing with Uncle Lu, saw that Song Xuan turned back, and immediately came up, and after being kicked out by Song Xuan last night, he could only stay in a nest outside for one night.

But it's actually pretty much the same in normal times, after all, Wangcai is also a wolf with a family now, unlike Song Xuan before, he naturally needs to sleep with the she-wolf at night, and when the three little wolves grew up, they were also driven out by Wangcai.

Wangcai usually played in the house until Song Xuan fell asleep, then walked around the tribe before finally returning to the nest.

But now Song Xuan can be regarded as having someone to accompany him, so he doesn't have to continue to eat Wangcai's dog food.

Xue'er was still a little scared when she saw Wangcai, but she also knew that this was a pet raised by the divine envoy, and she wouldn't bite at all, and even a few children were playing with him just now, and she was very happy.

It seems that even the deer in the distance have a pretty good relationship with the Teng Snake people, completely different from their previous tribe, the wolf tribe is also a traditional hunting mode, and the ones brought back are naturally dead, and they will be killed on the spot after they are lucky enough not to die when they come back.

The people who were still alive when they brought back were not because the people of the wolf tribe were merciful, but because they wanted to eat fresher, which was definitely much better than what had been dried and smoked.

With such a harmonious relationship as Teng Snake, she has never seen Xue'er, so she is naturally not qualified to participate in the usual exchange conferences, so she doesn't know about the situation of the Niu tribe, and all the tribes in others should be similar to the wolf tribe.

But there are not only all kinds of livestock raised here by Teng Snake, but also in addition to the group of wild boars, they seem to listen to Teng Snake's words, and the wild boar really has no choice, after all, since the capture of the snake, it has always been hostile to the Teng Snake people, but after the wild boar leader fled with a large army, the remaining sows and piglets are a lot more gentle. , as long as you don't enter the pigsty to provoke, there is no problem in watching from the periphery.

As for the cattle and sheep, many of them were domesticated by the cattle tribe before they were sent, and there was not so much resistance to people, and the Teng snake also fed for a lot of time, and when they saw people coming, they generally thought that they were fed grass again.

Now there is almost no green grass outside, except for Uncle Lu, who can forage freely, the other animals eat prepared hay, and even Song Xuan asked Shi Yan to mix some straw in it, as far as he knows, straw can also be used as food for cattle and sheep.

Although the taste may be rougher, but mixed in it has not been picked out by cattle and sheep, especially a few cows in the tribe, all of them are buried in hard food, not picky eaters at all, sheep are not as good as cattle after all, although they also eat, but as long as the upper part, the following may still be too rough, I don't know if it is suitable or picky eater.

There are so many straws in the tribe, Song Xuan really doesn't want to waste it, if it can be used as feed for cattle and sheep, it is also very good, and the nutrition should not be too bad, after all, it can still grow so thick.

Although I don't eat much, as long as I am willing to eat, I am really hungry, and I will definitely not pick it, at least I can use it as a base food.
