Original War

Chapter 602

After the tribesmen left, the trading area was officially closed. Although there will be warriors of Yanjiao who will stay in the trading area and carry out some follow-up transformations, they are no longer open to the outside world. They will be closed for a winter for a more grand trade in the coming year. prepare for.

Snow began to fall in the sky, but, unlike the violent and snowy winter that they had experienced here, this winter seemed normal. Perhaps after the disaster of heaven and earth, the geographical environment has changed, and the weather has also changed accordingly.

After experiencing two weird hot winters, this year, people on the mainland finally ushered in a normal winter.

Perhaps, in the mountains and forests, there will be some warm places that are suitable for the life of the birds. However, the people on the mainland do not yearn for them. They are not demanding and what they expect is just a normal winter. That’s it.

After Shao Xuan arranged the matters in the trading area, he returned to the tribe with what he had on hand and began to polish his lenses.

The transparent crystal is suitable for polishing the lens. Shao Xuan tried to make a simple telescope. In another world, he used to make it by himself. Now, after many years, in this world, Shao Xuan’s memory is a little fuzzy, but, Try more, Shao Xuan believes that he can still make it.

The lens barrel is made of bamboos of different thicknesses, which are mainly divided into three parts: the front tube, the middle tube, and the back tube. However, the most troublesome thing is to polish the lens. After all, it is artificially made. There will be many defects. If you don’t pay attention, it will be worn out. Fortunately, Shao Xuan, who has been able to polish stone tools for many years, has not once polished it. It succeeded, but after several attempts, there was a barely satisfactory result.

The polished lens does not know the focal length, so Shao Xuan roughly uses the method of focusing light to determine it. Everything is done by manpower. After the objective, eyepiece, and erect lens are finally polished, the front, middle, and rear tubes are finally polished. After they were all made, Shao Xuan assembled them and got a simple ground-based telescope.

Shao Xuan tried it and was able to see the situation on the opposite bank from the side of the river. With the eyesight of many totem warriors, he could also see the scene on the opposite bank, but with the help of a binoculars, he could see the scene in more detail. Unfortunately, the lens was polished. Shao Xuan was still dissatisfied with the results, and the image was not clear enough.

This set of polished lenses can produce ground-based telescopes with multiple magnifications. All that is needed is to adjust the length of the middle tube accordingly.

However, if the telescope is to play a greater role, Shao Xuan has to continue to improve, and may even try to make a large-caliber telescope in the future.

During this period of time, Old Ke also showed interest in making telescopes. After experimenting with stones, he practiced polishing with small opaque pieces knocked off from the crystal clusters, and finally began to try to make lenses. Shao Xuan briefly explained the general principles to him, but Old Ke didn’t understand it, but as long as he knew what to do to get the best results, he could start construction.

When it comes to polishing stone tools, Lao Ke is better than Shao Xuan in terms of fineness.

When Shao Xuan and Lao Ke studied polishing the lenses, the long-distance team came back.

The long-distance fleet did not rush back before the snow. However, although it is snowing now, it is not too cold. Except for some places near the shore, other places on the river are not frozen, and you can occasionally see it. Some fish with fangs jumped out of the water.

The expedition team went out with a mission. In addition to trading, they also spread the affairs of the Yanhe Trading Area to let more people know that this is one of them.

Second, the long-distance team also inquired into the movement of some places on the continent. This time, they brought back some special news.

Not long after the expedition team came back, someone came over and asked Shao Xuan to go to the mountain for a meeting.

When Shao Xuan arrived, the tower that led the team back this time was already sitting inside and was talking to Ao and the others.

“A Xuan, just waiting for you, come in quickly…what are you holding?” Wu asked.

Shao Xuan handed the tentative single-scope telescope in his hand to Wu, “I have made a new gadget.”

Hearing this, the tower, who was talking along the way, couldn’t help but look here.

Wu took the single-scope telescope and looked around, “What’s the use?”

“I used it to look far away, but this is just the first experiment I tried to make. It’s not perfect yet, and there are many things that need to be improved.” Shao Xuan said as he taught the witch to use the telescope.

After listening to Shao Xuan’s speech, Wu was interested, and stopped talking about the meeting for the time being. He got up and walked to the window, opened the heavy animal skin that was blocking the window, and looked out with the single-scope.

This synagogue is located on the mountain, close to the top of the mountain. After the cataclysm of heaven and earth, the mountain is again much higher, and it is regarded as the highest mountain nearby. Therefore, looking out from here, you can see the situation in the distance, the window that Wu opened. , Can see the other side of the river.

“Huh?! It’s really amazing!” Wu sighed.

Hearing Wu’s words, other people couldn’t sit still, so they wanted to come over and try.

But Wu took the lens tube away, raised his hand and pressed it, “No hurry, first have a meeting, first talk about business.” After saying that, Wu put down the animal skin curtains and walked back to sit down. Before he was seated, the binoculars in his hand were on. It was taken over by the old lady next to it.

However, the old lady was also holding the shelf, keeping the witch’s composure and steady. She didn’t immediately walk to the window to look at it. She just studied the telescope, and then she grasped it in her hand and put it on her leg.

Others looked away from the telescope in the old lady’s hand, curbed their curiosity, and began to talk business.

The main thing is that the tower will tell everyone about the gains and results of this trip. The team also spread the Yanhe trading area according to Shao Xuan’s words. However, what surprised him most this time was also mentioned by Shao Xuan. Things over there in the desert.

Indeed, the two continents are getting closer due to changes in the world, but the closest place on both sides is the desert!

This once made Shao Xuan very suspicious that the reason why the slave owners chose to settle in the desert back then was whether they were waiting for this day?

“This time, I heard some news in some trading areas. I think you still remember the slave owners and slaves that appeared when we started the war with Wanshi?” Ta’s face was serious, and his eyes were still suspicious. color.

Yes, in addition to the desert overlord Yanling, there are also those defeated slave owners and slaves who were forced out of the desert by Yanling City. Those people took their slaves and wandered everywhere. Shao Xuan also heard some news about them after the destruction of Ten Thousand Stones. The slave owners had not been able to please the tribesmen.

They can only bully people from small tribes. If it is a struggle between tribes and tribes, other tribes will ignore it, but if the slave owners mean to rob, groups headed by several major tribes in the central region will not. Let it go. Therefore, even if they were lucky enough to survive, the slave owners were not doing well. For the slave owners who have enjoyed the luxury of life, life is very unhappy.

Now, I heard that the two continents are very close. Those slave owners who have a bad life want to dive back into the desert, and then find a way to go to another continent. Since this side is not easy, then go to another place, maybe Can you live better and regain the self-confidence you once had?

With that kind of expectation, the slave owners who wandered around, with their slaves, sneaked back to the desert. Not long after, only a few seriously injured people came out of the desert, and every one of them was panicked and talked crazy. The language seems to have been greatly frightened.

A long-distance team passing by near the desert encountered them and got news from them.

“Those people said that some monsters appeared in the desert, humanoids, monsters!” Ta Shen said.

“Humanoid monster?” Shao Xuan wondered.

“Yes, those who escaped by chance died shortly after. It is said that none of the slave owners and slaves who entered the desert came out alive. No one knows what happened in the desert now.” The news that I got on the next trip was told.

“Those humanoid…monsters, have you been to a place outside the desert?” Shao Xuan asked.

Ta shook his head, “I have never heard of it.”

The room was quiet, all pondering the truth of the news.

“Then do we need to be on guard? If those people…the monsters come out, what should we do?” Dokang said.

“Perhaps, it was Yanling’s people?” Ao guessed.

“It’s possible. If those humanoid monsters are true, 80% of them are related to the people of Yanling. However, the people of Yanling mainly aim at the sea. In the short term, it should not affect us.” Shao Xuan said, “Instead of worrying about those, let’s take this opportunity to change the Yanhe area!”
