survival in the wilderness

Chapter 59 Surprise
Seeing Dashi's surprise, Heitu went on to say: "Huang Ye is right. It is all thanks to Lin Yan that Sunshine City is what it is today. We also lived underground before, and it was very difficult."

Dashi looked at Lin Yan seriously and didn't know what to say to her for a while.

Lin Yan knew that he couldn't believe it, so she pointed to Dashi's right hand and said directly, "Can I see what's in your hand?"

Dashi didn't know, so he raised his right hand to look, hesitated and handed it to Lin Yan.

Heitu looked excited and carefully observed Lin Yan's expression.

He found that Lin Yan seemed calm, but in fact his small hands trembled slightly, and he struggled to take Dashi's weapon. Heitu immediately reached out to help hold it, but Lin Yan refused.

Lin Yan was indeed not calm. With the heavy feeling in her hands, she knew that this was not a stone. The reddish-brown stone did indeed look like ore.

But she wanted to be sure, so she held it in her hand and asked Fat Bao to test it immediately.

In less than ten seconds, Fat Bao said: "This is a kind of hematite with a complete crystal form and a purity of 80%. It is a good material for smelting pig iron and can also be used as a pigment..."

At this moment, Lin Yan felt that her hardships had finally come to an end, and that she was finally getting her iron pot and kitchen knife.

After looking forward to it for almost four years, I finally saw hematite.

With it, everything is no longer a luxury.

She put the things on the ground and touched them carefully with her small hands, as if she was stroking a supreme treasure.

Black Soil is sure, this thing is indeed a treasure.He felt that Lin Yan was always smiling, except for the past few days of depression, she didn't see much emotional fluctuations, but at this moment, her little face was tense and her expression was solemn, obviously something was wrong.

After a full few minutes, Lin Yan reluctantly returned the thing to Dashi, "Where did you find this thing?"

Dashi looked at the weapon in his hand, touched his head and thought for a while, and said, "In the cave where we used to live, there were many such stones, but they were too hard to remove. I just brought them because they were hard. Self-defense, those who fight fierce beasts."

"Are there many such stones in the cave?"

"Many, everywhere, mixed with stones, some are too small to be used. The big ones are all in the stone wall and cannot be removed."

Lin Yan endured the trembling in his heart, and then asked, "Can you still find that cave?"

"It should be possible." Dashi was not very sure, he fled all the way, and he might not be able to find his way back.

Lin Yan asked Dashi to go and wait for a while, she had something important to tell Huang Ye and the others.

Dashi didn't know why, so he said anxiously: "Then can we stay?"

Lin Yan nodded, "You can stay, but there are some things we need to discuss before we can decide. I'll talk to you later."

He brought a big surprise, staying in Sun City is completely fine.

Dashi got the promise and happily returned to them.

Lin Yan immediately said: "Call all fifteen team leaders, I have something important to say."

The discovery of hematite is of great importance and must be the first thing to do.

Heitu said excitedly: "What the hell is that, is it a good thing?"

Lin Yan nodded, "It's a treasure, it's very important, quickly find someone, and I'll talk to you."

Ten minutes later, fifteen team leaders, three arbitrators, and ten people from Lin Yan's class gathered in an empty classroom.

Ah Lan saw Shuisheng and the others, "They are still young, why do you have to call them over?"

In the past, the discussions were all their adults' business, and Lin Yan rarely participated. This time there were ten more people, and children accounted for more than half, which was abnormal.

"They have learned a lot after class, so let them participate in this matter." Lin Yan looked at Huangye, Heitu and the fifteen team leaders, "If you feel inappropriate, you can let them out first, I will Talk to them again later."

Huang Ye took the lead and said: "Let's talk together. They are very smart, so it's good to listen."

Others have no opinion.

Heitu couldn't help but said, "Lin Yan, first tell me what that is." He was so anxious that he wanted to know right away.

Lin Yan looked around and said solemnly: "That thing is hematite, a very important metal that can be smelted into the sharpest knives and can be used to make many things."

"That's hematite?" Hua Min couldn't believe it, "Really?"

"It's true. I just read it. It is hematite with a content of 80%. It has high purity and is widely used."

Everyone who has attended the class knows the wide uses of hematite, and everyone is delighted.

Shi Zhi said eagerly: "Then we have to go to pick it up and make iron. With pig iron, we have everything."

"Yes, mining must be arranged immediately. This is the top priority."

"That is, other things can be put aside, and this matter should be dealt with first."

"I'm going to mine myself."

"I also need to go."

Seeing the eager expressions of the children's chatter, except for Heitu, the other adults couldn't figure out what was going on.

Ye Zi immediately asked her son to find out about the situation.

Shui Pozi asked loudly: "Is this thing really so important?"

"Important." Eleven people replied in unison.

Lin Yan continued: "Hematite is very important. With it, we will enter a new stage and achieve a great leap. Think about it, with a sharp knife, you can kill beasts, cut trees, and dig land to open up wasteland. , all need it. It is the material for forging sharp weapons, with it, it can replace the bulky stone tools, and the work is not only labor-saving but also very fast."

After Lin Yan finished speaking, seeing that they still didn't quite understand, she gave Shuisheng a wink and asked them to take turns describing the importance of ironware and the major changes it brought about.

After half an hour, everyone seemed to understand the great significance of ironware.It was unanimously agreed to look for iron ore immediately.

Dashi and his group can stay in Sun City, but the construction of the house is not a free gift, and they need to pay the same thing in exchange.

If they can bring people to mine, Sun City can build houses for them for free.

Lin Yan didn't participate in the negotiation with Dashi and the others, she just wanted to go mining quickly.

That night, things were discussed properly.The expedition team is also formed.

Back home, Lin Yan saw that Huahong was spinning, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Aniang, I want to go out for a while."

"Where are you going?" Hua Hong was busy with the work in hand and asked without raising her head.Lin Yan is growing fast now, and there are always not enough clothes. She needs to spin more and weave more clothes to make more clothes for her daughter.

I have no time to do other things during the day, and I only have time to do this before going to bed at night.

Lin Yan was silent, "It's far away, it should take more than a month."

She asked Dashi that it had been a long time since they fled and encountered the black soil, at least a month or two.

"How long did you say?" Hua Hong suddenly raised her head, her voice was raised, she suspected that she had heard wrong.

Knowing her worry, Lin Yan immediately recounted what happened today, and finally said: "Mother, the hematite ore is very important, I want to go there in person. And the tribe will send a team. There are a lot of people, and we Be careful, you will come back safely."

It's not that Lin Yan is ignorant of the dangers outside, but the temptation of hematite is too great, she must find it as soon as possible.
