Orcs’ Time Through Time

Although I am ambitious to make a knife, in fact, it is not easy.

And even if I have coal now, I can use yellow mud to build the stove, but in fact, I am not very sure about this. Even when I tried to burn this meteorite for the first time, I almost fell on my own feet because I was careless when I took it out. Luo Lei was frightened, and I refused to touch it easily for a long time.

Although this meteorite iron is not as difficult to burn and handle as I have heard from others before, it even burns red after a while, but obviously I didn’t have enough time to throw it into the fire for the first time, and it didn’t burn completely. red. And the most regrettable thing is that I had a temporary intention to lose this stone, but I didn't have the equipment for forging, not even a stone pile or iron hammer, so I didn't hammer it either. Coupled with the slip of the hand, Luo Lei was so scared that he didn't let me get close. Knowing that the piece of iron was cold, he picked it up tremblingly and gave it to me. In fact, he said that there was no processing.

If I just use the method of beating, I am also worried that this rare piece of meteorite will be wasted, and I will not dare to use it again after thinking about it. So I put it away altogether.

However, because of the discovery of this meteorite, I began to look forward to more.

If a meteorite fell in this place, it shouldn’t be just this small piece. Seeing that the trees here are growing so luxuriantly now, even Luo Lei said that the stone he picked up was under a tree. I think this stone There should be no radiation that can achieve a great impact on living things. From this, I also told the people of the tribe, please pay attention to them, if you see something similar again, bring it back to me.

The clansmen did pick up a few such stones from the mountains and forests one after another, which made me even more determined that there are more ideas of this kind of meteorite iron here.

However, this kind of meteorite did not eventually become the ore that we used in large quantities. Even if we found a meteorite weighing tens of tons in the mountains behind more than a year later, I just asked everyone to drag it back and circle it. People in the future look.

For those small meteorite irons, I, Luo Lei, and Canaan together made three meteorite iron knives and meteorite iron swords from the meteorites picked up by the tribe as the symbol of the tribe.

As for me, I found a lot of iron sand like Longquan grass iron around that stone, and there are also large iron stones.

Probably because it is full of iron sand, although it is in the middle of the mountain, there are no trees there. Only some grass is entrenched within a range of about a few hundred meters in this area. Gradually walking away, there are trees and trees. Also more and more.

The iron sand that can be found in these few square kilometers has maintained the weapons needs of our tribe for decades.

At first, because of the large number of trees here, we just came here again, worried about the snakes and insects here, I also followed A Yuan’s suggestion to equip everyone with herbal bags that prevent snakes and insects.

Ye Jia said that he didn't like the smell. Although he didn't run away yet, he felt it choked his nose when he smelled it, so the bag we gave him and Canaan didn't contain any anti-snake herbs.

For a while, I also told Ye Jia not to be animalized within the tribe. Because for everyone's safety, I also asked Luo Lei to sprinkle a circle of dry goose dung on the activities of our tribe in the sky, from the riverside to the gap, it was full of a circle.

Canaan joked that he no longer felt any snakes in this valley and plain.

Although a little embarrassed to Canaan, Canaan also gently told me that snake venom is really scary. He even joked to his tribe, if he was not animalized, he himself would be a little frustrated. This also made me feel his generosity and considerateness. I also asked him if he knew how to get rid of the snakes that might bite the tribe.

After getting the snake-proof and insect-proof plants that Ayuan gave me, I never let Luo Lei and the others sprinkle the feces of the wild goose on the ground.

Speaking of it, I feel a little embarrassed about Canaan because I am really afraid of snakes. I even joked a few times to compare whose beasts were bigger, but I resolutely stopped them, although I didn’t tell them why. What is it, but I think they also understand that I am afraid of snakes. In my opinion, snakes are really scary creatures.

Yejia and Canaan are okay, because in my classification, they are actually human. But those cold, greasy crawling snakes make me want to fall off with goose bumps when I think about it. Don’t look at me facing them a few times, but I don’t seem to be afraid of them. In fact, after seeing them beasts, I have a few times. They all have a habit of wanting to run away, although they are not exactly like snakes, they are more like dragons in our Chinese legends. So I also apologized to Canaan several times, but my attitude was not so good. Fortunately, Canaan didn't seem to mind very much, but it didn't matter if he comforted me several times.

I sometimes joked with Luo Lei, saying that Ye Jia said he wanted me to do his thing, and Luo Lei would get a little sulking. But every time I said that I couldn't stand something cold and slippery, he would become happy again. Even seeing Canaan was a little triumphant, which made Canaan a little bit baffling.

Luo Lei is so childish sometimes.

Although this kind of childishness makes me feel very happy, every time I say that he is warm and soft to the touch, he will be particularly animalized and let me touch his back and stomach. His belly is soft, and his body is furry and warm, which is really interesting. Especially when he stared at me with the golden eyes of a griffon, when some tenderness appeared in that kind of cold and sharp eyes, it made me feel so cute!

Because there is basically no obvious danger, A Rui and Aque sometimes go to the riverside to play, because the riverside is within the range that can be seen, and they are also very smart not to go to the riverside, just in the depression. Picking wild vegetables nearby, so I also agree that they go out within our sight.

Although they are considered females here, in my opinion, they are all little boys, there is nothing you can't try to do, and you shouldn't care too much. In the family motto of our family, there is even a line "Boys should be like grass, and they can live wherever they are thrown." I fully agree that they should also go for more.

They would go to the river to pick wild vegetables, and sometimes bring back some small fish and shrimps that grow in the depressions, which can be considered very hard.

Especially once, they also brought back a stone with many colors and part of it glowing.

Although Aque didn't seem to want to talk to me that much, Ari told me that Aque discovered it. And Aque said, maybe Anoa would like this thing, because Luo Lei's father and they gave him some black stones, he was very happy, this time we gave him a colorful stone. It made me think this kid was really awkward and cute, so I picked the fruit that Rona gave to Ari and I when he was cutting the tree, and gave it to Aque, and asked him and Ari to eat aside.

However, soon, I had to ask Rona to call them all back, and then went to the river with them myself.

The stone that Aque gave me was a brown-black stone with some maroon and green in it. I used grass and stone to remove the black and green on the surface, and the stone was restored to its original appearance. A piece of red natural copper!

I know that this kind of copper must not be much in the world. After all, the formation of natural pure copper also requires specific conditions, but I also know that in any world, copper ore will not run all over the world.

It is said that natural pure copper ore grows on the surface of copper ore. And the copper ore can be chopped off with an axe. Although I don't know whether our stone axe and iron-wood axe are useful, if there is iron and copper, and tin is found, then my sword-making plan may be successful.

It's just that we looked around the river, but actually didn't find a lot of copper ore, just saw a few pieces sporadically. Some of them may be hidden by grass and other stones, so we didn't see them either.

But in the river, I still found a few shining stones.

Since I didn't find what I wanted, I also took Aque and Ari, along with Rona and Ye Jia who came to protect us.

Seeing how frustrated the two little guys looked, I even showed them a hand-let Rona get a net from the tent and fished a big net, although it doesn't seem to be a big show, after all, he took the big net. Anyone knows how to make net fish, and Ye Jia and Rona are much better than me.

But everyone was carrying one or two yellow croakers on their backs, and the two little guys who watched their brother drag the long bass were finally a little happy.

Although they are still young now, when Luo Lei and I found a rock of this kind on the collapsed bank of the upstream river, we took them to see it.

Seeing how novel and happy they are, I praised them for discovering a new thing, and at the same time I told them that in life, we must always discover the purpose of all possible useful things and try more.

They listened faintly, but felt very excited when they touched the copper ore.

Now that I found iron and copper, I began to consciously search for tin.

In theory, tin is hard to find on the surface. And there is a saying in China that if you plant flowers deliberately, you can only plant willows and willows unintentionally. We found iron and copper by luck.

But in fact, it was really not luck that we found tin. Because we know what we are looking for and what traits and characteristics we are looking for, we almost deliberately dig the soil and when we go out, we can take a look at all kinds of granite, marble, and marble. Burn it.

Later, I finally found a tin deposit at the foot of the mountain over the gap.

Although later we started to use bronze and iron wares extensively, but before that, we still had a lot of work to do.

For example, we need to settle down first.

Luo Lei and Canaan moved quickly. They took turns in charge of hunting and logging, and a few others stayed to help me level the land. Soon, according to the mountain, we started to level out enough at the top of the valley gradually according to the topography. There is more than enough space to build the house we want to live in, and the black soil obtained from the leveling of the land is transported to the riverside plain for planting. The loess is piled with other loess, waiting for me to further arrange for them to use it. The place.

Although the opinion of the tribe is to build a house as soon as possible. After all, everyone still wants to live in a spacious and comfortable house. But I told them that here, we want to build a different kind of house that is more comfortable than before. But it is not time yet. We have to prepare food for the winter and make relevant preparations. Everyone still accepts it.

We began to take turns according to my idea, digging more coal on that plain and transporting it back a little bit. The dug pits were used as traps, and some people were sent to hunt and collect prey every day. Some people prepare enough wood. The wood trunks are set aside to dry and prepare to be used as houses, while the thicker branches are sharpened and used as wooden fences to enclose the valley and the riverside plain. The branches and leaves below are dried to make our firewood.

At the foot of the platform, I took Ley, Monte and the two other people assigned to me, and started to fill the piled loess with water, step on it with my feet, and smash the mud with a big wooden hammer. Then use the mold we made earlier that is about forty centimeters long, 20 centimeters wide, and about ten centimeters thick to make bricks. I have already planned to make a brick house this time.

We also tried to make some tiles. Although I don’t know if it will be successful, I still made a set of molds. I plan to put the tiles that are not so beautiful in the shape into the brick kiln. About two hundred bricks were burned together. It doesn't matter if it can't be burnt. Although the brick house is covered with straw and wood, it's ridiculous, but it doesn't matter if you try it, it will be a happy event again.

When I was a child in the countryside, I saw people burn bricks to make houses. Later, when I grew up, I was interested in traditional crafts. So I read everything, especially when I wrote things in the past, I also checked a lot of materials in this area.

So although not very sure, when the first batch of green bricks are dry, I plan to set fire to the brick kiln for the first time.

Dig the brick kiln, put enough coal in it for the primer, arrange the bricks layer by layer according to the memory, fill in the coal in the middle to prevent uneven burning, and stack the upper and lower bricks crosswise to make the bricks There are gaps between them, and the outer wall is made of loess as a sealing soil to form a yurt shape, leaving special ignition ports and flue ventilation slots, and the brick kiln is even built.

Under the gaze of the whole clan, my hands trembled during the first ignition.

Although when I was working with everyone, I said with certainty that we want to live in a better house and live a better life, but I am not sure whether brick burning will succeed. After all, although the theoretical basis is there, I have never had it in practice.

Maybe it’s because I feel nervous. Not only did Lo Lei come and pat my hair, Canaan also came and patted me on the shoulder. Even the clansmen came to encourage me, and even Aque gave him his dad to eat. The fruit is given to me, saying that I have more energy after eating, and it is easier to succeed in doing things, so I don't know whether to move or continue to be nervous.

This kiln brick has been burned for seven days. I had to adjust the fire in the middle. I even wanted to open the kiln a few times to see how it burned. I also thought about what to do next time if it fails to burn. There is an idea to open the brick kiln quickly.

However, with the encouragement of Luo Lei and Canaan, I still resisted the urge to go straight up to seal the earth.

Because there are many mountains here, I want to hide in the mountains. I plan to burn blue bricks and blue tiles. So when the fire is turned off, I seal the kiln door and chimney with unfired bricks. I greet a few people around the kiln roof. Open the sealing soil to form a ring-shaped ditch, and then use a clay pot to pour water into the ditch. Watching the water seep into the brick kiln, the water droplets form mist in the hot kiln, and the mist rises upwards, waiting to see the bricks and tiles of the kiln.

Although I would like to open the door of the kiln right away to see how the bricks burn in this kiln, I also know that it will take a few days for the kiln to cool down before opening the door. Although I knew it was useless, I still touched the periphery of the kiln several times a day.

Until a few days later, it was estimated that the brick kiln should be almost the same.

Looking at everyone's also looking forward to the eyes, I finally decided to open the kiln!
