Primitives are stunned

Chapter 263 Unmanned Dock

Judging from the current situation, the most lacking thing on Zhenmo Island is tools.

Whether it's saws and axes for logging, or shovels and hoes for reclaiming land, they are extremely scarce on Zhenmo Island.In terms of quantity, there are even at least dozens of people who can use one tool.

Since the copper smelting furnace was opened in the village, it has been able to independently make tools such as hoes and axes with relatively simple crafts.

The clan elders in charge of the copper smelting furnace, although they still looked old-fashioned, used the copper coins and arrowhead molds downloaded by the system to make molds such as hoes and axes that could be used many times according to the gourd painting.

When their innovation was rewarded and encouraged by Wang Hao, each of them worked hard and wanted to do something big again.

Wang Hao heard that the elders in charge of the copper smelting furnace were discussing how to smelt the shovel.

As for the weapon, although several clan elders had fused a copper sword, its hardness could not be compared with the black iron sword bestowed by the ancestor god.

After being easily cut into several sections by the black iron sword during the duel, the clan elders could only honestly melt the sword into copper ingots again to make farm tools.

Since there is no shortage of farm tools in the village, Wang Hao will naturally not be stingy.This time he went to Town Demon Island, he brought a lot of farm tools.

In addition, Wang Hao also brought enough pottery and a large number of straw sandals based on the population of Zhenmo Island.

Wang Hao carried a lot of herbs used to stop bleeding and remove blood stasis, condiments used for seasoning, and other daily necessities on board.

However, when Wang Hao opened a warehouse to get salt, he found that the salt reserves in the village had bottomed out.

After questioning Wang Hao, he found out that since the exchange day, the most popular item in the village is neither condiments nor pottery, but salt.

Because the production method of table salt is listed as the top secret by Wang Hao, so in order to keep it secret, the manpower for making table salt has not been able to increase.

Originally, there was a large amount of salt stored in the village, but after Zhao Village helped the village last time, in order to express his gratitude, Wang Hao generously waved his hand, and [-]% of the salt reserve was given to Zhao Village.

Then, with the development of the village, the number of places that needed salt increased dramatically, and the number of exchanges from other villages also increased, which led to a shortage of salt and a decrease in reserves.

If only this is the case, the village can last for a while, and the amount of salt in the warehouse will not be so scarce now.

The main reason is that there are fewer and fewer salt rocks scattered beside the salt lake. Every time the tribe wants to get a piece of salt rock, they have to break it from the big rock wall with great effort.

In this way, it is tantamount to increasing the labor cost of producing salt, which is no less than worse for Wangcun's current situation.

After listening to the clansman finished speaking, Wang Hao couldn't help frowning.

The extraction of table salt is actually quite simple.In Wang Hao's eyes, the entire salt lake is a big salt mine.

Just filter the water from the salt lake a bit and dry it.The remaining crystals are edible table salt.

The main reason why Wangcun took painstaking efforts to extract salt from the salt rocks and mud by the lake was because there lived a very domineering turtle in the lake.

The turtle in the salt lake is a tertiary creature.It is called salt turtle by the tribe.

No one knows how many years the salt turtle has lived in the salt lake.Everyone only knows that the salt turtle is the most domineering third-level creature in this area.

In the eyes of the salt turtle, the entire salt lake belongs to one turtle.Without its permission, let alone pumping water from the salt lake to extract table salt.Even if you just ran over to take a sip of lake water, you would be hunted down by the salt turtle.

But now, the village doesn't have the strength to fight against third-level creatures, so naturally it doesn't dare to touch the water in the salt lake.

After thinking about it and failing to come up with a solution, Wang Hao could only call in more than a dozen savages to join the salt-making team to serve as coolies for digging soil and rocks.

At the same time, on the original basis, the price of table salt was raised by [-]%, and the daily supply was limited.

However, these methods can only solve the emergency.If you want to extract a large amount of salt, you will need to fight the salt turtle sooner or later.

The third-level organisms entrenched in the coal mine of Liu Village, and the salt turtles in the salt lake, stood in front of Wang Hao like two mountains.These are the main factors hindering the development of the village, no matter what, they must be eradicated.

It's just that it's really too difficult to hunt and kill third-level creatures.The case of tiger tooth fish is just an example, and it is almost impossible to replicate.

Because of being tricked by Wang Hao, the tiger tooth fish swallowed the black iron wooden stick.

Then the tug-of-war with the giant caused the black iron stick to get stuck in its mouth, and it couldn't spit it out or swallow it no matter what.

The widened mouth of the fish closed the gills of the fish, making it impossible to expel the impurities in the water. This caused its belly to be filled with sand, and then it was strangled to death.

However, as far as Wang Hao knows, salt turtles do not eat food on the shore.

In the past, those creatures that were trampled to death by it alive would be dismissive of their corpses, and as long as no creatures moved its lake water, it would rarely even show up.

Putting all these things aside for the time being, the main task today is to send these daily necessities to Zhenmo Island, by the way, to test the results of Wang Hu's training during this period of time and to see the Devil Ape.

When a sailboat is sailing upstream, it is best if it can go with the wind.But if there is no tailwind, crosswind is also a good choice.

And today, it happened to be a cross wind weather.

After this period of training, Wang Hu was not in a panic when he set off, and all matters were handled in an orderly manner by him, so Wang Hao nodded in satisfaction.

"Old man Xie will be stunned to see us coming with such a big boat!" After everything was settled and the sailboat sailed smoothly, Wang Hu ran to Wang Hao's side and said with a smile.

"After leaving for such a long time, I don't know if the devil ape still knows us. It would be great if we could abduct the devil ape this time!" Looking at the scenery on both sides of the strait, Wang Hao also said with a smile.

As the village became more prosperous, Wangcun's reputation spread farther and farther.In the surrounding villages, it can be said that there is no one who does not know the name of Wangcun.

In the eyes of the surrounding villages, Wangcun is a magical place.

The food in Wangcun seems to be endless.As long as you are willing to agree to Wangcun's less harsh conditions and swear to join Wangcun, you can get food supplies from Wangcun.

Even if it is the season when food is relatively abundant, there will always be some unlucky villages that will be in a state of frequent starvation.

It is precisely because of these reasons that during this period of time, more and more villages contacted Wangcun and wanted to join Wangcun.

Because of the appearance of sweet potatoes, the food for this winter has been enriched.Not only Wangcun can be planted for a season, but Zhenmo Island can be cultivated all year round, regardless of season or time.

With sufficient food, Wang Hao would naturally not refuse those villages who wanted to join him.

In his view, these small villages around him are all production bases with thousands of people.As long as there are roads between them, these production bases can be connected.

In the Great Wilderness, it is not feasible to build ordinary roads. Asphalt roads must be used to build asphalt roads, so as to prevent the damage to the roadbed by the amazingly growing vegetation on the Great Wilderness.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Hao's most important thing is to be the first to open the waterway and establish a connection with Zhenmo Island.

Because of the need to measure the water level, draw a route map, and stop and go sailing, it took almost a day to arrive at the pier of Zhenmo Island.

However, after leaving for more than ten days, the open space on the pier side that was cleared by Wang Hao and the others was once again covered with dense plants.

When Wang Hao left, he told old man Xie to send someone to guard the pier every day.

But when Wang Hao and the others came over today, they didn't see anyone on the pier.

After boarding the pier, leaving half of the people guarding the boat, Wang Hao led a few people towards Zhenmo Lake.

The dark asphalt road is a masterpiece left by Wang Hao and the others last time.The two new crew members who joined Wangcun didn't know how to step on the smooth and straight asphalt road.They feel light all over themselves.

Wang Hao looked at their surprised looks and didn't say anything. There will be many new things in Wangcun in the future, but it's just a [-]-meter-long asphalt road, which is not worth explaining at all.

Although the shores on both sides of the pier were covered with plants, there were not many fallen leaves on the pier, and the asphalt road was very clean, as if it had just been cleaned.

There was also a bonfire that had just been extinguished in the open space beside the asphalt road, and a rowing boat moored beside the Zhenmo Lake, all of which proved that there were still people in this area not long ago.

But what surprised Wang Hao was that he looked left and right, but couldn't find where the person was.
