Ye Qiong looked at the melted black sand in the iron pot in front of him and couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Did this tribe make these black sands themselves? What do they do with these things..." After hearing what Ye Qiong just said, Qing Zhi also asked with some confusion.
"Two possibilities, the first is that the black sand was originally there, and then this ancient tribe found this place and used the black sand to develop into a very powerful tribe. The strategic materials in the cave on the right,
They made it using black sand." Ye Qiong sat directly on the ground, took out some fire from the stove and said.
"It's possible, as you said, that they made this black sand by themselves. Why they made this thing is unknown. It needs to be studied."
"Oh...then, what if those black sands are not from there?" Qing Zhi nodded her head and followed Ye Qiong to sit on the cold ground.
With the animal fur coat on the ground, there was no need to worry about freezing my buttocks.
Ye Qiong looked at the azure mother star above his head: "If this is the case, it would be more troublesome. These black sands are not the original product of that space, so they must have been obtained from other places. As for coming from
It’s hard to say where it came from. I guess we’ll have to wait until we decipher the words to figure it out.”
"How long will it take..." Qing Zhi followed Ye Qiong's gaze and looked at the blue mother star in the sky.
"It's hard to say. If it's fast, maybe two or three years. If it's slow... that's not necessarily the case. Text deciphering is not that simple. I hope there can be some talents in this field in the tribe." Ye Qiong withdrew his gaze and said,
Then he looked at the melted black sand on top of the stove.
In my mind, I was thinking about pouring something out of the melted black sand in the triangular container.
After thinking for a while, suddenly a long sound came from the air.
Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind blew over, and a moment later, an additional figure appeared next to Ye Qiong and Qing Zhi.
Thunder!
Ye Qiong looked at the thunder flying down from the sky, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart.
Seeing how Thunder was standing on one leg, Ye Qiong had thought about getting it a prosthetic limb before.
However, after Ye Qiong thought about it for a while, he gave up the idea.
First of all, Thunder's potential is that of a guardian beast, and it will be very large in the future. Ye Qiong is not worried that it will waste resources, but with its current growth rate, there is no way to make prosthetics for it.
So Ye Qiong decided...
Get an iron ring for it to maintain balance. To put it simply, put an iron ring on Thunder's left leg, and then tie it to a piece of armor one size larger than it.
Ye Qiong wants to see the scenery in the sky in the future. It will be difficult to realize the dream of flying in a short period of time, but when Thunder grows older, he can try to see if he can ride on it.
Just like a saddle, if there is no cushion and protective tools, it is very dangerous to ride on Thunder's back and fly to a height of several hundred meters or even more. If it falls, it is no joke.
Judging from the recorded history of the Ye Qiong tribe, no one has ever been able to ride a flying monster and soar in the sky.
Ever since Ye Qiong picked up Thunder, he had such an idea in his heart.
When it comes to blacksmithing, Kuang Baichi must be better at it. Ye Qiong plans to use the melted black sand to get a mold, and then he can make it into a larger size for Kuang Baichi.
Lei Lei looked at Ye Qiong and Qing Zhi, called out a few times, and jumped forward twice, as if he wanted to see what was done on the stove.
Ye Qiong immediately waved the curious baby away. The temperature of the melted black sand in the triangular container was very high. If it accidentally got on the body, even a layer of skin would peel off.
After being driven away by Ye Qiong, Lei Lei jumped to the snowdrift on the side in a somewhat bored manner and lay directly on the ground, his eyes still staring at Ye Qiong and Qing Zhi.
The color of the feathers on Thunder's head has now become slightly darker. The dark green color is more and more similar to the Gale Golden Eagles that Ye Qiong saw in the summer, but there is one thing that is different.
Too similar, that's the color of the pupils.
In the summer, the pupils of the Gale Golden Eagles that Ye Qiong saw were dark brown and black, while the pupils of Thunder were blue. I don’t know if there will be any changes in the future. Now
It seems that, except for the color of the pupils, other physical features are more and more similar to the adult Gale Golden Eagle.
Ye Qiong didn't think too much about it, just thinking of it as their development process from childhood to adulthood.
Lei Lei, who was lying on the ground, closed his eyes, but he didn't feel the cold on the snow...
Ye Qiong began to work on the protective gear that Thunderbolt could put on Thunderbolt. With the help of Qingzhi, he just made a rough sketch. Looking at the somewhat horrible finished product, Ye Qiong decided to bring back some black sand in a few days.
Leave it to Kuang Baichi and his disciples.
The thing that Ye Qiong is most concerned about now is how much black sand is in the left passage inside the waterfall cave.
Judging from what we know so far, the amount seems to be quite a lot.
The exact number will not be known until we go down and measure it.
There is no point in being anxious about this. If you want to go on, you still need to prepare a lot of things.
The height of more than 300 meters is no joke. Although there is soft black sand below, if you accidentally fall, the possibility of surviving is very small.
For the tribe, these black sands are what is most urgently needed right now. The strategic materials on the right side of the passage can increase the overall strength of the Ye Qiong tribe to a higher level.
But if the amount of black sand in the left passage is large enough, with Ye Qiong's use, the tribe will make a qualitative leap.
Now Ye Qiong has taken out the steam engine.
Kuang Baichi and the others have mastered the principle of the steam engine. The next step is mass production and streamlined evolution. As for how fast the development will be, Ye Qiong himself has no way of predicting it.
After having the steam engine, if the iron problem is solved, Ye Qiong's next plan is to build a railway!
With the addition of railroad tracks and trains, the tribe's transportation capacity in summer will increase countless times, and they no longer have to worry about supplies and food.
After having enough iron tools, Ye Qiong is now interested in another thing, which is also the direction of Ye Qiong's next exploration.
That is...
gunpowder!
Guns and cannons may not be easy to come up with in a short period of time, but as long as gunpowder can be produced, something can be born at the same time, which is a gun!
A metal shooting weapon, also called a fire barrel.
