Chapter 61 Is it Malachite?

Wang Lang felt that he had to continue to be a god stick, and use this god created by his fallacies to explain all the new things he created.

After being brainwashed by Wang Lang's fallacies and heresies, people were dizzy for a while, and there was no way to prove these things.

If later people invent something new, they can use this theory to justify themselves, so that they will not be caught by those radical religious elements, tied to a pillar and burned to death. Religion cannot be completely eliminated. Human beings have no way to explain everything. Religion will always exist with human civilization.

The main purpose of the religion fabricated by Wang Lang is that everything that can bring benefits to the tribe is guided by the gods. On the contrary, things that bring disaster to the tribe are blasphemy against the gods.

This kind of existence of gods, ghosts and ghosts, even in a world with highly developed technology, cannot be completely sure whether there is a god in this world.

Seeing people's bewildered looks, Wang Lang said, "Think about this for yourself. Don't let the fire of this pottery kiln go out." look in the direction.

Some time ago, he saw a group of very huge deer coming here. Those deer were about the same size as the horses in the previous world. In this world, Wang Lang met something that could be called a horse. A long-nosed horse that is not as big as a donkey can't be ridden or used to pull a cart at all.

And these giant deer came here aroused Wang Lang's great interest. If he could catch some, he might be able to use this kind of animal to replace the horse, but he didn't build the residence a while ago, so he didn't pay attention to them for the time being.

Now standing on the high platform, Wang Lang didn't see the figures of those giant deer. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He didn't know how often these animals came here. Thinking that those deer just passed by here by chance, Wang Lang felt extremely regretful.

On the side of the salt lake, there are still all kinds of animals coming here to lick the salt every day, but most of these animals are not worth domesticating.

Wang Lang stopped looking at the salt lake, and turned his gaze to the dark forest and the towering mountain in the distance. This dark forest gives people a very depressing feeling, although it is said that there must be something useful for the tribe in the forest. However, this inexplicable fear from the depths of his heart prevented Wang Lang from entering this forest rashly.

As for what Kong Yi said about the soul-eating monsters in the forest, Wang Lang naturally didn't believe it, but the forest in front of him gave people a very strange feeling.

When Wang Lang was considering whether to enter this jungle, other people gathered around the pottery kiln at the moment. After burning with a small fire for a while, people began to add charcoal to the fire pond, and kept fanning the wind with wide palm leaves. The heat emitted made the people around him sweat profusely.

After several hours of continuous firing, when the pottery kiln cooled down, people took out the fired pottery and were amazed to see the smooth pottery. It is much more beautiful.

Wang Lang held a pottery bowl and looked at it. There was something very smooth on the surface of the bowl. Wang Lang recognized it after looking carefully. For colored glaze, the temperature of this kiln is estimated to be over [-] degrees! If you can find kaolin, you might be able to make porcelain."

"Lang, the pottery fired this time is really different from before. These pots look solid." Huo said excitedly.

Wang Lang tapped the pottery bowl in his hand lightly with his fingers, making a crisp sound, looked at the fire and said, "Of course it's different. The pottery made with charcoal fire is not only strong, but the most important thing is that these pottery don't absorb water."

The pottery made before was used to hold water. After a long time, water seepage will occur and there will be an unpleasant smell. People all know this. Hearing Wang Lang say that these pottery do not absorb water, Huo immediately ran over and brought one. Clay pots for water, pouring water into freshly fired pottery.

Whether the water seeps through or not can be seen in a short time. People carefully put the clay pots filled with water aside, looked at Wang Lang and said, "Lang, this charcoal is indeed much more useful than wood."

Wang Lang looked at the people and said, "The main purpose of this charcoal is not to burn pottery, but to melt metal."

"What is metal?" Fire asked.

"Metal is something like tin that we make arrowheads with."

People asked puzzledly: "Can't tin be melted with ordinary fire?"

"It's not the same. Tin is too soft and not suitable for weapons. I want to find other metals. Those hard metals cannot be melted by ordinary fire."

"Will such a metal be found?"

Wang Lang shook his head and said: "I don't know where to look for it now, but I think there should be something we need in this forest. When we enter this forest in the future, we must pay attention to those colored stones. Probably just the metal we need."

People were a little dazed. They had only seen colored stones that were used as weapons, but they had never seen the others.

Kong Yikong and Kong Er in the crowd looked at each other, looking hesitant to speak.

Looking at their appearance, Wang Lang thought they were going to say something about monsters again, so he frowned and said, "Do you have anything to say?"

Kong Er looked at Wang Lang and said, "Boss, what kind of colored stones are you talking about? Green stones?"

Wang Lang frowned, and asked excitedly, "Have you ever seen a green stone? Where have you seen it?"

Kong Er was rang out by Wang Lang's appearance, swallowed and said, "We saw green stones when we passed a hillside before."

After getting a definite answer, Wang Lang's mood was a little agitated. Could it be that there is nowhere to look for, and it doesn't take much effort to get it?
"The green stone is probably malachite. Although this copper ore contains less copper, there are usually other copper ores where there is malachite. Could it be that my luck is so good?" Here Wang Lang is a little worried about gain and loss again, there are many green stones, what if it is not malachite?

People looked at Wang Lang grinning foolishly for a while and frowning for a while, wondering what happened to Wang Lang.

"Lang, are you okay!" a woman asked boldly.

Wang Lang's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, he froze for a moment, looked at the woman with some doubts and said, "Oh! What's the matter, what did you just say?"

"Lang, you looked scary just now, are you okay?" the woman said.

Seeing people looking at me strangely, realizing that I was too excited just now to lose control, I smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, it's okay, what can I do! Haha!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored people's disbelieving expressions, looked at Kong Er and said, "Where are those green stones you mentioned?"

Wang Lang decided to go and see whether it was malachite or not.

Kong Er thought about it carefully and said: "Walk eastward from the previous residence for about two days, there is a small mountain over there, and there are many green stones there. I don't know how many days it will take to walk from here."
