Primitives are stunned

Chapter 498 The Black Iron Forest in Li Village

Hearing the words of this clansman, Wang Hao smiled and said: "It is true that we don't have many black iron trees in Huacheng, and the Black Forest is too dangerous, even if it is collected, it is not convenient to transport it out, but there is a place Yes, I have!"

After hearing Wang Hao's words, everyone was a little puzzled, not knowing where Wang Hao was talking about.

Only Gu Mu came to his senses, and said, "Hao, are you talking about Li Village?"

"That's right, it's Li Cun!" Wang Hao nodded.

At the beginning, Li Village was a large tribe that could stand shoulder to shoulder with Wang Village in Jiulong Mountain and even surpass Wang Village.

The reason is that the people of Li village live on the hot spring island, which is very rich in black iron wood.

Due to an accident, the villagers of Li Village have mastered the boiling water processing technology of black iron wood. Therefore, all the black iron wood weapons of the surrounding tribes are basically sold by Li Village.

Every year on the exchange day, Li Village's black iron and wood weapons are treasures that the surrounding villages flock to.

It's just that, seeing profit and abandoning righteousness, Li Cun joined forces with Jiulong Mountain to attack Wang Hao.

After being defeated, he still does not want to repent.Therefore, Wang Hao spread the processing method of black iron wood weapons.

In this way, although they did not attack Li Village head-on, they cut off the foundation of Li Village.

Since then, Li Village's influence on the Great Wilderness has plummeted.In one fell swoop, he fell from a top tribe to a second-tier tribe.

It was also because Li Cun attacked Wang Hao that everyone in Hwaseong had a grudge against Li Cun.

Although Hwaseong has now unified most of the surrounding tribes, it does not care about Li Village.

Seeing that the living standards of the surrounding tribes are gradually improving, and their life in Li Village is getting worse day by day, the patriarch of Li Village is also worried.

It's just that it's useless for him to be anxious. It's not bad for Huacheng not to settle accounts with them after Qiuhou, but it's simply impossible for him to fly with them.

Even though Wang Hao had already forgotten about Li Village, the rest of the tribe hadn't.

Therefore, although the patriarch of Li Village brought his people to Huacheng several times and expressed his desire to find something to do, Wang Long refused them all.

It's just that they didn't humiliate them in public.

Ever since the black iron wood weapon could not be exchanged for food, Li Village could no longer enjoy the days when other villages in the village would come to their door just to exchange a black iron wood weapon with them.

Everyone in Li Village is living a miserable life.Over the years they have mastered the art of black ironwood, but have all but forgotten how to hunt.

The days now are basically full of hunger.

As for Wang Hao, Li Village's black ironwood resources were his favorite.

In Hot Spring Mountain in Li Village, Black Ironwood is the only large plant.

The entire mountain is made up of black ironwood forests.

Those black iron trees are at least hundreds of thousands of years old.

If they are all harvested and divided into steel bars, they are used to build Huacheng.In terms of quantity, it can replace at least half of the steel bars in Hwaseong.

As for the remaining half, Wang Hao has also thought about it.

There are two ways.

The first way is to use Kela.

Kela has the ability to increase the growth rate of plants.After a systematic analysis, it is because there is a magical substance in the bone meal that does not exist on the earth, called oxytocin.

As long as Wang Hao finds out a way to extract this substance, he can double, triple, or even ten-hundred times the growth rate of plants.

The black ironwood, which takes dozens or hundreds of years to grow, may be able to shorten the growth time to a year or even a few months after using oxytocin.

The black iron wood in Li Village can still be used for at least one year so far.If we start to extract the oxytocin in Kela from now on, and reclaim the black ironwood plantation fields, Wang Hao believes that when the black ironwood in Li Village is used up, the black ironwood in Hwaseong will grow up to be useful.

The only thing that worries Wang Hao is whether the processing of black iron wood will become more difficult after using Kela to improve the properties of black iron wood.

If that's the case, no matter how much black iron wood there is, he won't be able to use it himself.

"Patriarch, the Hot Spring Mountain is Li Village's territory. Li Village attacked us back then, but this time they went to cultivate the Black Ironwood Forest, did they let the Black Armor Army destroy Li Village by the way?" Wang Long said at the meeting. stood up and asked.

Although Wang Long is usually kind in the village, he hates things that destroy Hwaseong, or the enemies of Hwaseong.When you start, you will definitely not be soft-handed.

Wang Hao thought for a while and said, "Li Village is no longer threatening the capital of our Hwaseong. Well, if they are willing to surrender, they will take their main stele into the village and let them assist in the felling of the black iron tree .If they don't want to surrender, just drive them out of the place where the asphalt road goes, and leave them to themselves."

After listening to Wang Long, he answered and sat down.Since Wang Hao entrusted the matter to him, he will definitely handle it beautifully, and there is no need for Wang Hao to worry about it.

The method of replacing steel bars with black iron wood not only solved the problem of slow production of steel bars in Hwaseong in one fell swoop.

At the same time, it relieved the pressure on the steelmaking furnace.

If there is no need to produce steel bars for the construction of Huacheng, other things can be produced at the steelmaking furnace.

Just before the meeting ended, Wang Hao gave a new task to the steelmaking furnace.

The vacant manpower from the production of steel bars was immediately put into the production of arrowheads.

The arrows produced this time need to be twice as large as the previous ones.As for quantity, the more the better.

Things like rockets are already relatively mature weapons.In the future, when facing monsters attacking the city, rockets will be one of the most important offensive weapons.

And its lethality comes from the dense quantity.The more rockets fired at one time, the more terrifying the lethality will be.

Although it is foreseeable that monster siege will be a few years away, it is definitely not too early to start hoarding arrows for rockets.

A salvo of a rocket launcher can consume four hundred arrows.

The city wall of Hwaseong is 2000 meters long, and the four walls are 8000 meters long.

If a rocket car is placed every 15 meters on the city wall, then the entire city wall will need more than 500 rocket cars.

In this case, a salvo of the rocket car will consume 20 arrows.

As the saying goes, what is fought in war is money. Wang Hao didn't understand it very well before, but now he understands it.

A volley needs to consume 20 arrows. If the battle is fierce, a volley may be needed in a few minutes.

Calculated in this way, if the monsters attack the city for a minimum of three days, the arrows that Hwaseong will consume are at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of arrows.

Fortunately, it will take at least three years before the construction of Hwaseong is completed.

And the clansmen discovered another iron mine.

There are a lot of savages that can be used for mining. At worst, we will open fifty more steelmaking furnaces to try to increase the production speed of arrowheads.

After the meeting was over, the rest of the people left. Wang Long went to deal with the affairs of Li Village. He needed to supply black iron wood to the construction of Huacheng in the shortest possible time.

And those clan elders surnamed Wang went back and were busy opening new copper furnaces.

As for Wang Hao, Wang Lang was left behind.
