This quarrying technique of boiling water should have been around for a long, long time.

For example, the pyramids and the Great Wall are obviously not enough to collect so many boulders by ordinary means of collection.

For example, some large buildings also require many complete boulders, and the closer you get to the interior of the mountain, the harder the stone becomes.

Lawrence suddenly thought of the cave of the Claudadians, which was obviously a hand-dug building.

Lawrence learns more as he builds a fire to bake the stones on the ground.

"Sariel, didn't the Phumithes make things out of stone?"

Sariel crouched to the side and looked at Lawrence's "technique" and replied, "No." ”

"It seems that bronze and iron swords have always been used there, and I have heard that the snow cave people of the north use the bones of whales and beasts for knives and weapons, and the Ug people use sharp stones for weapons."

Lawrence didn't ask about weapons, but he did get some information from Sariel.

The Ice Barbarians, represented by the Pumishu, mastered the skills of iron, as well as the skills of carpenters for shipbuilding, so most of the houses were made of wood.

The mountain barbarians represented by the Croda people have mastered primitive stone tools, even if they have mastered some carpenter and bronze smelting techniques, but they have been shelved because there is no demand.

The Snowy Cave and the Uge are the losers and will soon disappear with history.

Because the snow cave people are not a big threat, and they occupy an extremely bitter place that the ice barbarians are unwilling to go to, they should be able to exist for a long time.

The Ugers are different, no matter how docile they are, they can't continue to be comfortable near the ice barbarians.

Although the attack of the Vakiri was accidental, it was also a historical necessity, and they needed more people to participate in the war and also need to gather more resources, so they must be integrated.

The Quarrying skills that the Clauda had had nothing to do with Lawrence, who felt that he didn't have the face to let them out of the mountains to help.

"Lawrence, is it okay?" Saril wanted to see the ice water crushing boulders, and she had been looking forward to it.

Lawrence felt like it was almost there, and picked up his shield.

"You get ready, and when you fall up, run behind me, don't be crushed by the broken stones."

"Hmm!" Saliel stood up and lifted up the cold-water barrel that had been beaten up from under the ice.

Lawrence quickly shouted, "One, two, three!" ”

Crash~

Sariel quickly spilled the cold water from the bucket and ran up behind Lawrence excitedly, placing her hands on Lawrence's shoulders.

Click~

When the hot stone is exposed to cold water, the sudden drop in temperature breaks the balance inside the stone, and multiple cracks break with a click.

The stones on the surface of the crack exploded more than two meters away like a shattered glass.

Sariel glanced at it and said excitedly, "Lawrence, are you going to fire magic?" ”

Lawrence explained: "It's technology, it's not magic, it's a technology that everybody can master, and I remember the name as the Explosive Method, which is as much a technique as blacksmith smelting." ”

Sariel understood this time, but was still excited.

This kind of thing, which takes a long time to smash and can also injure the hand holding the hammer, can be done with only fire and water!

Lawrence looked at the pit in front of him that emitted fumes, the kind of pit left behind after the explosion was called the crater, and the gravel in it was much easier to mine than normal stone.

However, it will be very troublesome to dig a hole, and the ancient technology is generally not complicated to operate, that is, it is safe......

It is not surprising that such a thing as a mining accident has occurred.

"Continue to the next one, wait for you to take someone to burn the stones here, and I'll go see how the road down the mountain is repaired, and use the ice blast method to drop the steep stone face, so that it will be easier to walk in the future."

Lawrence continued to the next location to light a fire, and Sariel happily followed.

The blasting method is more efficient than the ice blasting method, but it requires a lot of wood and charcoal, and the high temperature charcoal can burn the stone faster and has a higher success rate.

At present, the mountains are still cold and snowy, and there are not many places with grass and wood, and fuel is needed to build sheepfolds and wooden huts, so there is always a need for someone to collect wood.

In the vicinity of large cities in ancient times, there was basically not a single bare tree left, just because they were all used up.

Fortunately, there are so many trees on the mountain that even if you build a thousand houses, it will be enough, and the only trouble is that it is difficult to collect.

Lawrence was not worried about giving the Dom sheep to the slaves, fearing that the men had escaped on the sheep.

Thinking of this, Lawrence said: "I'll wait down the hill and call Seravon up, and let him pull the Dom sheep to collect wood, which can now be transported by sled, and it is much easier to transport wood than in the spring." ”

Sariel sensed Lawrence's busyness, "Okay, just leave it to me here." ”

Lawrence was very relieved and wanted to make Sariel and Sophia, who was also well-behaved and obedient, feel at ease after their hard work.

After thinking about it, Lawrence thought of something they liked.

"Sariel, when spring comes, I'll put the hives in a place where the bees can easily go, and when autumn we can harvest a jar of honey."

Sariel's eyes suddenly brightened, "Really? Does Lawrence really know how to keep bees? ”

"I'm not sure, I haven't done it before." Lawrence looked at the hopeful Sariel, but he was not too sure.

Lawrence asked, "Are there a lot of bees here?" ”

Saliel nodded quickly, "Many!" I often see bees down the hill! ”

Lawrence asked, "How big are the bees?" ”

Sariel thought for a moment and gestured with her finger, "It's so big, as long as you don't touch it, it's fine, you can often see it in places with a lot of flowers, and there were bees running into my house in the summer before, and I drove them away." ”

Lawrence was relieved that as long as the bees were there, the hives would work.

"Alright, let's do something."

Lawrence didn't hesitate to burn the fire and rubble.

Taloki and another slave dig in the back, which will be used to build the stone wall.

Sophia was busy cleaning up the Dom sheep droppings and cleaning the crow-stained walls.

The two puppies ran around the house, fighting and barking at each other, occasionally running to the door to look out at the snow and ice, but soon returned to the house to learn about the strange place that they were not yet fully acquainted with.

The shield maidens and their male and female slaves went out hunting, hunting small animals that came out of their burrows to graze and hunt in early spring.

Lawrence soon arrived at the steep hillside cliff area where he usually detoured, and recorded the locations that needed to be blasted.

Through the fire method and ice blast method, you can make this steep hillside have more potholed steps, or even directly turn this place into a navigable hillside.

Lawrence discovers that he actually knows a lot of "magic".

The method of exploding, the method of ice explosion, the technique of making the mill move by itself, the technique of wind gusts.
