Under the dim and dark oil lamp, the visibility is about ten meters.
There is something on both sides of the wooden staircase that is almost invisible to the sight of something more than ten meters away.
If any monster suddenly emerges from more than ten meters away, there will be little time left for the warriors to react.
Sea of sand…
A sea of sand made of black iron sand was made up by man-made, and Ye Qiong became more and more curious about what it was used for.
Just store iron?
It seems unlikely. After all, this thing is natural, and the ability to extract these black iron sand is enough to prove that the level of civilization at that time should not be too low, and the refining technology is already very mature.
Even a civilization that completely exceeds Ye Qiong's cognition...
Ye Qiong walked to the end of the wooden stairs and squatted down, stretched out his right hand and gently grabbed it underneath.
The feeling of black iron sand holding in the hand was a very strange feeling, cold and heavier.
The light emitted by the burning of the wooden barrel oil lamp feels like it is swallowed by black iron sand.
Black is more light-absorbing, and the light-absorbing of these black iron sand seems to be stronger, so if you look forward now, you will feel like you can't see your fingers, but when you put your hand in front of you, you will be
Can see it.
It's not a refutation, but a real feeling right now.
Ye Qiong has actually been wondering what the purpose of these black iron sands were stored here.
If it wasn't for building weapons or something, then a big possibility was magnetism...
If it could be powered on, these black iron sand might have some magical effects comparable to magic.
After getting up, Ye Qiong asked the soldiers behind him to come with ten lamp arrows.
After igniting the lamp arrow, Ye Qiong raised the long bow of the bone crystal.
"Swoosh..."
"Swish..."
As the lamp arrows were shot out by Ye Qiong, the farthest area finally became bright.
Ye Qiong shot ten lamp arrows, four of which were directly shot into the black iron sand sea in front, and shot the remaining six lamp arrows to the left and right sides, with three each.
There was finally light in this space area and some places around it!
The scene now seems to be a little more open, and it also allows Ye Qiong and the soldiers around him to feel the huge space.
The lamp arrow was shot out by the bone crystal arrow and it had already flew over a long distance in the air, at least more than 300 meters.
Ye Qiong could shoot further, but the lamp arrow could not bear it anymore.
The body of the lamp arrow, the small wooden barrel on the top, contained grease. After the wick on the top was lit, a windproof wooden cover was added to the outer area.
The windproof effect is still good, but it also has a certain limit. The force that Ye Qiong shot out now is the maximum speed that can be maintained in the air without extinguishing.
If the force is greater, after the wick is extinguished in the air, no matter how far the arrow shot out is, it will be useless.
The lamp arrow fell on the black iron sand and did not fall. It seemed that it could float on the black iron sand for a while.
The arrows shot on both sides on the walls look much brighter.
At the same time, a wider cliff scene was presented to Ye Qiong and the soldiers.
Wherever you see, there are bare cliffs, as if they have been deliberately polished with sandpaper. If you sprinkle some water on it, it can reflect.
What Ye Qiong wants to determine the most now is how wide this area is, that is, the distance from this side to the opposite wall. Only by clarifying this can we know here from a macro perspective
How big is the scale?
As for how much length can be reached, it is also a relatively troublesome and certain thing.
At present, the biggest difficulty in exploring this area is that there is no place to put it.
This is very uncomfortable...
Ye Qiong would rather be a big river below, and it would be acceptable if there was no need to get some magma or something.
But these black iron sand cannot move forward through buoyancy. If something slightly heavier falls on it, there will be only one outcome, that is, it will be swallowed.
The soldiers behind continued to bring some lamp arrows over, and Ye Qiong waved his hand and signaled that he would not use it anymore.
If you want to explore this area, it seems that you can’t be in a hurry. You need to rely on manpower and material resources to proceed slowly.
I took the soldiers to climb up the x-shaped wooden stairs again. If there was no elevator, it would be very tiring to climb so high.
On the left side, some recommended residential areas were built in the huge space in the cave, which were somewhat similar to the wooden high and low beds of trains. After the supplies and food were sufficiently guaranteed, the soldiers could live here.
As for whether it will be boring or something, there is actually no need to consider this issue at all. Humans who have not been brainwashed by electronic information can live a fulfilling life in this environment, and can find some fun, as well as some traditional games.
For example, small games like Goji and Huarongdao that have been popularized by Ye Qiong.
Ye Qiong had thought about getting chess out. It was really not difficult. But Ye Qiong had always been thinking about other aspects, and he didn't have much motivation to develop these puzzle games in the tribe.
Some tribal traditional mini-games have been passed down from generation to generation, and there are still many interesting ones.
Ye Qiong really doesn't have to worry about this.
After asking the soldiers to find a place to live by themselves, Tang Li also returned to the space on the right now.
Ye Qiong came to the entrance of the waterfall cave by himself.
As the wind increases, the blizzard has arrived. Although the entrance to the waterfall cave is getting brighter, the visibility is not high. You can't see the magnificent scenery of the past now.
The waterfall base under the snowstorm looks a bit depressed and lonely.
In the waterfall cave covered by a blizzard, you can see the swaying lights from a distance, so it gives people a very warm feeling.
Before the blizzard stopped, Ye Qiong needed to spend it with the soldiers in the waterfall cave.
He built a wooden bed at the entrance of the waterfall cave with his own hands, and Ye Qiong slept here directly. Overall, he still didn't like to squeeze with the soldiers.
There are many reasons, such as age and identity, and Ye Qiong himself prefers to be alone. If he is with the soldiers and does not speak, the soldiers will have nothing to say and the atmosphere will be very depressing.
Without Ye Qiong, the soldiers could let go and have a good rest and relax after working hard for a day.
At this moment, the two architects of the Naning tribe are still in the waterfall cave. Ye Qiong gave them a very challenging task this time.
That is to find a way to expand the wooden stairs.
As much as possible, build a wooden bridge that can penetrate to the opposite side on top of those black iron sand!
These things cannot be done in a day or two. Although Ye Qiong can't help much physically, he can give them some advice in terms of construction.
Although Ye Qiong has no research on modern architecture, he has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run. The suggestions he put forward are definitely helpful.
Those black iron sand can withstand limited power, mainly because objects with larger weight will gradually move downwards. If you can measure the depth of the black iron sand, it will not be a problem to build things on them.
After Ye Qiong asked, he realized that he was not the first person to have such an idea. When the soldiers in front of him cultivated the wooden stairs to the bottom, they had already measured the depth of the black iron sand.
It can be said that I don’t know if it’s unexpected, I’m shocked when I test it.
The depth of the black iron sand below is a bit amazing...
At first, the soldiers tried with wooden sticks, but when a wooden stick was pressed down by the soldiers, there was no intention of seeing the bottom.
So the soldiers tied two wooden sticks together, followed by three...
The length of each wooden stick is two meters, and the soldiers soon realized that this measurement method was unlikely to measure the depth of the black iron sand.
It’s not that the wooden stick is not enough, but the more you go down the wooden stick, the greater the resistance it will be. This means that if you rely solely on human power, you can make the wooden stick more than ten meters deep by severity.
If you want to continue to detect, you must have something more dense. The soldiers with a lot of brains think of the long weapons in the space on the right side of the waterfall cave.
So dozens of long weapons were tied together by the soldiers and carried over.
After the long weapons were tied together at the ends and ends, they sank directly along the black iron sand.
After reaching thirty meters, the detection depth once again fell into a bottleneck and could not continue to move down. However, the soldiers did not feel that they had reached the bottom, but the friction between the long weapon and the black iron sand made
It can no longer continue.
Just from the areas we have discovered so far, the storage volume of these black iron sand is already amazing!
If the space on the left side of the waterfall cave was long enough, Ye Qiong even felt that if all the black iron sand inside was made, maybe a steel Great Wall could be built...
Qingzhi is not here at this moment. Last time, in the battle with the Thunderbolt Maniac, several ancient forest apes were injured, so Qingzhi and Qinglie left a period in the central tribe with Qinglie.
Time, after the injuries of those ancient forest apes healed, they returned to the tree palace.
Ye Qiong did not go there. Since the establishment of the waterfall base, Qing Lie and Qing Zhi have been very busy, and have not had much rest until now.
So this winter, Ye Qiong planned to have a long holiday for them and just wait at the waterfall base. When the two of them have almost finished resting, they will come here.
Although Qingzhi is gone in the waterfall cave, Ye Qiong is no longer short of translations.
After such a long time of contact, both Yeqiong tribe and Naning tribe have cultivated some personnel who can be translated out.
Most of them are female warriors. With the help of these translators, Ye Qiong and the architects of the two Naning tribes can still communicate.
What needs to be done on the left space of the Waterfall Cave now is to continue to expand the wooden stairs while mining black iron sand, and expand them directly in front and on both sides.
The main problem is how to borrow power on the black iron sand.
There was no good idea.
But the long weapons the soldiers used to measure the depth of the black iron sand were a good choice.
It's just a waste of weapons.
Between this...
A trade-off needs to be made!
Although the black iron sand can be mined at will now, in terms of weapons, the weapons produced by the Yeqiong tribe are not as good as those in the right space. It is not that the incandescent technology is not good, but the material!
Those weapons and equipment are not made of black iron sand, and the colors are different.
The weapons and equipment in the space on the right are black, deep black.
And these black iron sands were made into weapons by Kuang Baichi and his disciples in the central tribe, and they tended to be silver.
Maybe...
I need to add something. In short, as the tribe population base increases, the number of warriors is increasing, and the weapons required are also increasing.
At this moment, weapons and equipment seem to be very abundant. If you consume too much in the Black Iron Sand area on the left, the weapons will begin to become tense after the tribe develops for another one or two years.
The blizzard continues to rage. When Ye Qiong is in the daytime, he will wander around the left and right sides of the waterfall cave. He occasionally stands in front of the mural in the middle and stares blankly, wanting to feel the ancestors of the Naning tribe and the hundred-year-old.
What kind of scene does the Madman King fight?
Judging from the murals, the mount under the Centennial Madman King is at least at the level of a king. As for the charred beast at the level of a king or an ordinary king beast, it is unknown.
On the mural, Ye Qiong had been trying to find two figures, but he had seen them many times these days, but he hadn't seen them.
It is the figure of the Lord's forest ancient ape and the Lord's earth veins blend...
At that time, it is hard to say whether these two lord-level monsters were there at that time.
At night, Ye Qiong would come to the entrance of the waterfall cave and sleep on the small wooden bed he built.
Listening to the cold wind outside the waterfall cave and looking at the wooden barrel grease lamp swaying gently in the cave, it has a unique artistic conception.
Half a month later...
The blizzard stopped, and the wooden stairs on the left side of the waterfall cave were expanded toward the outer periphery every day.
The main force point is still above the cliff. The black iron sand below is within a certain distance. You don’t have to consider the force for the time being. There will be no need to consider the force above. There will be no one living above, and it is mainly through. Even if you accidentally collapse.
There is plenty of time for the soldiers to evacuate.
When the sky cleared, Ye Qiong came to the entrance of the waterfall...
"Chirp!"
After whistling at the waterfall, Ye Qiong jumped and jumped directly to the wall at the edge of the waterfall cave.
Soon, a huge figure flew up directly from the waterfall base.
Thunder still did not sleep on the altar, and seemed to have adapted to the life with the warriors, and also had feelings for the arrow tower that it had lived in since childhood.
Ye Qiong looked at the thunder rising into the sky and couldn't help but smile. When Lei Ting's figure was about to reach the entrance of the waterfall, Ye Qiong suddenly jumped up and jumped out directly outside.
His body was suspended for a moment, and then it was pushed up by Thunder's neck!
