Chapter 55 Exploring Volcanoes! Finding Mineral Veins!
0:00 on the 24th - 0:00 on the 27th
If the number of collections increases by more than 100, you can explode your little brother's universe!
For 7 consecutive days, I will blast 20,000 words every day! This promise will be calculated based on collection at 0:00 on the 27th. If you want to blast, I will be more vigorous~ ===================
======The number of horses increased at a slow but steady rate;
The number of livestock and poultry of various types in the breeding farms is also increasing steadily, and has begun to provide reliable and stable food output for the tribe;
In addition to the original farmland for rice, the tribe continues to invest in the upsurge of reclaiming new farmland. Currently, the reclaimed wasteland plain has increased by more than 200 acres on the original basis, reaching 823 acres. It is expected that by the end of the year, these more than 200 acres will
acres of land can be planted and harvested to mature rice
While ensuring quality, the production and manufacturing industry of ceramics and bows and arrows has been steadily improving. It is not only the output that has been improved, but also the quality and craftsmanship have made breakthroughs. The teacup that Hua Xi was playing with before is the best evidence, although it is not yet mass-produced.
High-tech ceramic products, but technically achieved, all it takes is time. Currently, the arrows of bows and arrows are basically made of metal arrows, which increases the lethality a lot.
"Well, they are all doing well! Everyone must continue to work hard. The goals of our Chinese tribe are not just what we have in front of us. I hope everyone will continue to maintain strong fighting spirit and create more brilliant achievements!" When Hua Xi said the last part, his whole body was filled with excitement.
They all stood up, clenched their hands into fists, and said loudly
"Yes, we will follow the clan leader to the death!"
In the conference hall, dozens of future senior officials expressed their determination.
Volcano, the scene of the volcanic eruption two years ago is still vivid in Hua Xi's mind.
At noon seven days later, the violent sun lowered its noble head in front of the forest under the green water and green mountains. The moist and fresh air protected a group of powerful teams from the scorching sun above their heads.
At this time, Hua Xi was leading the army and a transport team of more than 200 mules and buffaloes to the location of the volcano. Two years later, although the day of the volcano eruption was already far away from today,
But the huge damage caused by the volcano is still vividly visible to everyone.
A large number of destroyed trees and plants came back to life again, and flocks of birds and insects flew from the lush forest land from time to time.
"Chief, it is said that there is a wizard with boundless power, cruelty and terror living in the volcano in front!" A priest who studies theology reminded Hua Xi in a low voice.
"Oh, really? I am here under the will of the God of Fire. Any wizard who comes to search for treasures in this giant fire-breathing mountain will be in vain in front of the omnipotent god. Do you know?" Hua Xi?
scolded, because his words had caused uneasiness and fear among a small number of people.
No matter how brave you are, when faced with irresistible forces such as nature, your inner hesitation and fear will immediately jump out and hinder your will and behavior.
"Yes, yes!" The priest said no more, but it could be seen from his eyes that he was still afraid of the illusive wizard.
After that, except for the occasional cough and the sound of marching footsteps, no one in the group said a word, because they basically focused on the once extremely angry mountain above them without exception.
, they were all worried that the wizard living in the volcano would suddenly come out and inflict the most violent punishment on their group of outsiders.
Hua Xi is just as worried as them, but Hua Xi is worried about whether the volcano will erupt suddenly. After all, he doesn't know anything about this.
With no danger, Hua Xi, with the transport brigade and troops, finally arrived under the volcano. The traces of the flow of magma that had been erupted earlier were still clearly visible. From time to time, the bones of some animals could be found among some rocks and weeds.
"Chief, where did that treasure you mentioned come from? This place seems very dangerous!" Hua Feng looked at the desolate black ground under his feet and said uneasily.
"Why are you panicking? Okay, everyone, pack up all the thick rocks under your feet or the mud in the low-lying areas and pull them back." After Hua Xi finished speaking, he was the first to pick up the dark gray, yellow, and white
Waiting for color, the volcanic ash that has been accumulated and compressed to become tuff is placed piece by piece into a large bag woven with grass and vines.
Everyone else looked at each other in confusion. You look at me and I look at you. They all don’t understand what the tribe leader is doing with such a large number of people traveling a long distance to this terrifying mountain to collect all these stones and silt. What is the purpose of the tribe?
Why come here to collect rocks and silt?
However, what needs to be done is still done. Anyway, the patriarch will not be full if he brings such a large number of people out.
Time passed by second by second, and by the time it was almost sunset, every mule and buffalo's carriage or back was filled with stones and mud of various colors, large and small.
"Everyone, please load carefully. The stones and silt we are collecting now are the key to increasing our tribe's food production and income," Hua Xi said loudly.
"Ah, this humble thing can..." Doubts and confusions hung on everyone's faces
Naturally, Hua Xi would not explain to them the composition and effectiveness of volcanic ash. These were too complicated for them. The simplest way was to give examples. When they saw it with their own eyes, they would naturally know the benefits of this volcanic ash.
Wherever there are volcanoes, there is a high chance of finding limestone minerals, which are good building materials. After being calcined with clay, they become cement. Just calcining limestone with charcoal can decompose limestone, which is perfect for construction.
Materials, with these materials, the quality and craftsmanship of buildings such as cities and houses can be improved to a higher level. Then under the guidance of a half-hearted farmer like myself, it is not impossible to build a building comparable to the Great Wall and a pyramid, hehe.
After letting the convoy return to the tribe, Hua Xi led more than a hundred cavalry and began to search carefully near the volcano. With the horses, the scope of the search greatly increased exponentially, and it was more time-saving.
After enduring a day of heavy rain, Hua Xi and others finally discovered a row of mountains stretching for dozens of miles to the east of the volcano, near the Chinatown side, and some of them were actually limestone mines.
After confirming the location, Hua Xi asked the accompanying priest who was responsible for searching for ore veins to record the terrain and locations, which would be of great use in the future.
After returning to the city, Hua Xi immediately held a major meeting of elders. All 37 elders approved the city building plan proposed by Hua Xi.
Hua Xi decided to disperse all the more than 800 slaves. Women, young and old, lived and worked in the city. He selected strong men and other tribesmen to go to the natural harbor in the west and the mountains where the limestone mines were located to build two cities. In addition,
The newly reclaimed farmland will be cultivated with collected volcanic ash and manure fertilizers.
Without affecting the daily operations of the city and the farmland reclamation and rice cultivation work outside the north gate of the city, a total of more than 300 slaves and more than 500 civilians were assigned to the construction work of the city. For this reason, Hua Xi also paid for these upcoming construction projects.
The walled city was named. The walled city in the bay was called Sunset Fort, and the walled city at the lime vein was called Iron Wall.
For future convenience, the waterfall next to China City was named Shenglong Waterfall, the vast deep pool formed by the pouring of ten thousand horses was called Shenglongtan, and the river flowing from Shenglongtan to Sunset Fort and merging into the sea was named Bailongjiang.
