Chapter 337: Copper Smelting
Looking at the green stone, the craftsmen were stunned, looked at Wang Yang in confusion, frowned, and figured out what it meant...
Wang Yang also knew that with their IQ, he didn't understand what it meant, so he gave the green stone to an adult beside him.
After the adult took the stone, he gave it to him, and he gave the flesh to the adult.
Then I demonstrated this several times in a row, and then I held the green stone in my hand and shook it at the craftsmen.
The craftsmen were slightly stunned. The tall man stepped forward a few steps and wanted to get the stone, but a few wooden spears stopped him from moving forward.
He was very puzzled. After demonstrating so many times, wasn’t it just that I had to get the green stone first and then you gave me the meat?
He understood correctly. Wang Yang wanted green stones, but he also misunderstood. He did not get the stones from Wang Yang, but went to find them somewhere else!
I'm really worried about their IQ!
Without a way of communication, it is not easy to express and understand. Wang Yang has already expressed it very simply and bluntly, but the craftsmen are still a little confused.
The craftsmen thought for a long time, and suddenly, a craftsman figured it out, and his eyes immediately fell on the little boy.
After a few steps forward, he grabbed the little boy and touched his whole body to see if he could touch a stone again.
The little boy struggled hard, but the adult was much more powerful than him and couldn't struggle at all.
The other craftsmen also understood and caught the little boy and had a full-scale physical examination.
Without touching anything, the craftsmen were very unwilling to give up and opened the little boy's mouth to see if he had hidden it in his mouth.
"Woooooo!"
After all, the craftsmen were very angry and stamped their feet angrily, using the little boy as a punching bag, and constantly scolding them. In their opinion, the little boy should not have only one green stone.
The little boy was not outdone, and he also stomped his feet while cursing.
They didn't know what they were scolding, they just knew that they were getting louder and louder and more fiercely.
Adults scolding children is a lesson and should be taught in Wang Yang's ideas. He was also scolded. He did not think anything was wrong. Instead, he understood many truths because of the scolding.
However, the scolding of the craftsmen on the opposite side was purely a tantrum. They had no words, so how could they make a mistake?
However, both sides were very imposing, and the more they cursed, the more angry they became. They didn’t know what they were angry about.
Finally, an adult couldn't help it and slapped the little boy to the ground. When the others saw it, they all stepped forward and kicked it a few times.
Wang Yang looked at him calmly, and had no idea of stopping him.
Originally, he didn't like to see children bullied, but the little boy was so annoying. Not only did he look at him without sympathy, but he instead developed a sense of guilt and pleasure.
After a while of fighting, the little boy couldn't get up. He didn't know why these craftsmen were so violent to treat their companions so violently.
I guess their fight is like a spouse fighting, and they will still be their own family after the fight.
"Woo!" Wang Yang shouted, attracted the attention of the craftsmen, shook the green stone again, and then pointed to the last piece of meat, expressing the meaning that if there was no green stone, the meat would be gone.
The craftsmen struggled to guess this meaning, and they all panickedly searched near the open space to see if they could find the green stones.
Wang Yang waited for a while, but when they saw that they did not find it, he gave the meat to an adult beside him. The adult immediately ate it with a delicious taste. The craftsmen looked sore, as if they were eating their meat.
Wang Yang no longer entangled with them and took everyone back to the tribe.
He believed that he understood the meaning he pointed out very clearly. If there is green stone, there is free meat to eat. Without hunting or fighting, he can get a piece of finely prepared large meat for free.
As long as they are willing to think about it, they will definitely be able to recall where the green stone was picked up, then mine it in large quantities and transport it here.
"Stay carefully at the movements of those people during this period. They may help us find the green stones." Wang Yang made arrangements for more than a dozen people.
What surprised Wang Yang was that the group of people had no movement, and I don’t know if they couldn’t remember it or had no idea about this at all.
Wang Yang had no choice but to bring meat and green stones over every day, constantly bringing up green stones, hoping that they could think of the benefits in this regard.
Unfortunately, the IQ of the group of people opposite is indeed anxious. Just like the apes before, they would not think about long-term plans and plans at all, and they would have the idea of living a day and calculating it day by day.
Not motivating or far-sighted is really a failure.
On this day, the twenty or so adults who were divided into several teams returned to the tribe one after another, and also brought their news.
The news is not very good. As Wang Yang thought, a large part of the copper mine is buried underground and cannot be found without digging.
But it is even more impossible to dig. The world is so big and the area is so vast, how many people do it will take and how much time does it take to find copper ore?
It's almost the same to give him hundreds of millions of people.
Only a small part of the copper mine is exposed outside, or a cliff with water flow, or a certain mountain. It is not easy to find it.
They brought some beige stones, which were mostly found in places where there was a water source by the river and stream. They were ordinary stones. Even if they were not ordinary, they were fossils or amber, they would not help Wang Yang at all.
"It seems that we have to take the second plan." Wang Yang unwillingly launched the second plan and recruited the other party to enter the tribe.
This is an action that Wang Yang doesn't like very much. At least the group of craftsmen on the opposite side didn't like him at all. He didn't like it, and others wouldn't like it. They are still very alert to the group of craftsmen until now.
But the tribe is so powerful that they dare not be arrogant even after entering the tribe. As long as they know where the green stones were dug, whether they left or stayed, they can only look at their performance.
Of course, Wang Yang would not make this decision rashly. He planned to truly determine whether the green stone was patina.
"Ignite, burn the stove!"
After the white clay was shipped, everyone started to make ceramics again. If Wang Yang did not admit his mistake, he should be closer to porcelain, but I heard that it would cost more than 1,300 degrees of porcelain.
He thought that although his kiln was good, the structure was not clever, and it should be only about 1,100 degrees, and it could not reach that high.
What is burned is only close to porcelain, not real porcelain.
But the high temperature of 1,100 degrees is enough to refine copper. The melting point of copper is only above 1,000 degrees, less than 1,000 degrees.
So if you want to know if it is copper, you can tell it as soon as you burn it.
He put the green stone into a mud bowl that had not been burned yet, so as not to melt and flow all over the floor.
Then, lift the furnace and catch a fire!
With a light "buzz", blue flames emerged from the charcoal. Wang Yang didn't care about anything, just fanned the air and added carbon, burning the kiln to the point where the black smoke rolled into the sky.
“Hu~Hu~Hu~Hu~”
Under the wild wind, countless sparks rose from charcoal, rolling up the strong wind, blowing into the kiln, hitting the mud bowl that was undecided.
Under the constant care of Wang Yang and everyone, the kiln was burned extremely vigorously, and the temperature inside was immeasurable for a while, which should have reached the limit that this kiln could reach.
In a place where Wang Yang could not see, the green stones in the mud bowl quietly changed drastically.
The erosion of the high temperature caused the green stone-like jade-like surface to crack a few large holes, revealing the deeper green inside.
The layer of green seemed to be sprinkled with powder, just like the sesame seeds on the cake, and many of the green powder was still the white spots of starlight.
As time goes by, the longer the green outside has become something, disappearing in the bowl, leaving a small egg yolk-like stone.
During the erosion of the heat wave, it was burned red and then slowly flowed into a porcelain bowl that was almost burned to white.
The temperature is very high, it can't stand it at all. It slowly melts and finally condenses at the bottom of the bowl, like a red lake surface stained with blood, and there is no slight rippling on the thick silk surface.
It was so hot outside that Wang Yang and several adults kept adding charcoal to it. He didn't know if the green stone had melted, nor did he know if the temperature was high enough.
It took another two hours to block the kiln and extinguish the fire.
The next day, Wang Yang got up early and moved away the hot kiln stone at the fresh dawn.
Thick smoke rolled straight into the sky.
After cooling for a few hours, Wang Yang couldn't wait to enter the hot-storm kiln. He touched the hot porcelain bowl, and used two wet animal skins to take the bowl at the front.
come out.
As we walked to the river, the animal skin kept rising from a faint steam, and it was conceivable that the temperature was still very high.
After finally reaching the river, I quickly threw the hot "sweet potato" on the ground. The bowl rolled on the ground, but it was not broken. After rolling for a while, it covered the ground, making a "wow wow wow wow~".
Wang Yang didn't think about it, scooped the water and poured it on. Suddenly, the bowl was not that hot.
Wang Yang quickly picked up the bowl and looked at the bottom of the porcelain bowl. Sure enough, a layer of light yellow metal was spread in the white bowl.
What else can it be if it is not copper!
However, the copper seemed to be sintered with the porcelain bowl. Wang Yang simply took out a stone, smashed the porcelain bowl, and took out the small piece of copper.
Holding it in his hand, Wang Yang put it in the sun and shook it, the golden light was infiltrating!
"It's indeed copper!" Wang Yang was ecstatic and thought that he was finally entering the metal age.
He excitedly and anxiously waved his hand at the patrol behind him: "Let's go! Take that group of people into the tribe!"
As he said that, he walked forward with great strides.
The patrol behind him actually still didn't understand why Wang Yang was so happy, and he didn't know what Wang Yang was doing with those craftsmen during this period.
I couldn't understand even more that the green stone was burned out, and Wang Yang was still so happy.
