Super Chief

Chapter 28: Kaolin

"On the blue misty hillside to the south, I once saw the fine white soil that the leader said. That time, my companion and I went hunting in the mountains. During the rest, I dug a hole to make a fire and cook. I have come out of that white soil." The middle-aged man Dashou said first.

   Kaolin is very different from ordinary soil. Since Dajiao said that, it is enough to prove that there is a kaolin mine there.

In later generations, according to surveys, the distribution of kaolin in the United States is also quite wide. The area with the highest kaolin production in the United States is located around the Great Smoky Mountain National Forest. There are even reports that there are several in the Great Smoky Mountain National Forest. Kaolin mine with very abundant reserves. It's just that because it is a forest park that is heavily protected in the United States and even the world, no one can mine mineral resources here.

   But in this era, even the United States does not even exist. Who else will care about this?

   "Big Spear, is the place you are talking about far from the tribe?"

   "It's not too far. Starting from the tribe and climbing the mountain, you can reach that location within half a mountainside."

   "Okay, then we two will go there together tomorrow." Shixiong said with certainty, and then he turned his gaze to the young man named Feng Rui Shishi.

Although the young man looked good in physique, he was actually a bit shy. After seeing the guardian's gaze, he was a little bit shy, lowered his head and said, "Guardian, I will go to the place that the spear said. Yes, and I found some white stones on the way to that place. I thought those stones were pretty at the time, and I brought one back."

   Feng Rui Shi said, and took out a fist-sized blue-white stone from his pocket.

   Shixiong took it, and he could tell the identity of this stone at a glance. This stone is exactly a piece of limestone.

   Even if Shi Xiong was a museum associate researcher in later generations, mainly studying historical relics and doing cultural preservation work for cultural relics, he had seen too much limestone. Among other things, the stones used to build the courtyard walls in my hometown include a lot of limestone.

   Limestone is simply calcium carbonate. The reserves of this thing on the earth can only be described as numerous. There are many limestone mines in the Appalachian Mountains, and it is not surprising to find one in the Great Smoky Mountains.

  Only in this era, North American Indians did not know that this kind of stone was an excellent building material. It is no wonder that most of the North American Indians of this era live in animal hide tents, and a few Indians live in wooden houses. Apart from making stone knives or stone arrows, no one likes to play with stones that can be seen everywhere.

   Shixiong sat on the stone with satisfaction, and smiled and said to Feng Rui Shi: "Wait tomorrow, take me there and see, OK?"

   The boy nodded happily.

   The name of this young man deserves to be called "Fengrui Stone". It is estimated that it has a great relationship with him since he was a child and he liked to play with stones. That's why he was given the name of such a clan. People who like to play with rocks usually take them home to play with after seeing some special rocks. It is estimated that this piece of limestone was brought back by him because of the habit of the sharp stone.

   This is what I have done.

When Shixiong looked at the last old man named Grey Moose, he nodded consciously and said, "That was during a hunting a long time ago. I remember seeing a piece of land with almost nothing growing. The place. I remember that place because the hunting happened in the "Thunder Moon" (July). At that time, it was the hottest time of the year and the most vigorous vegetation growth. At the time, but in that place, there were no trees and even the weeds grew very short. I remember that the big horn leader said that this place was cursed by the devil, and even a demon was buried there, so There will be no vegetation."

   Hearing the name Bighorn Bull, leader Li Lei was a little bit sad. The Bighorn Bull leader was the previous leader of the Gaoshu tribe and the father of him and the deceased Kabru.

   Shixiong asked: "Grey Moose, is that place far from the tribe?"

   "It's not far, it's at the foot of the Bison Mountain to the north of the tribe, and there is still a long way to the north of the Big Bend."

   When I heard the gray moose, Shixiong felt a little relieved. According to the position of the Gaoshu tribe in later generations, the Bison Mountain referred to by the Grey Moose is the parallel fold mountains between the Great Smoky Mountains and the south bank of the Tennessee River, and the distance from the tribe is about four or five kilometers. , It's really not far.

   The three tribesmen who provided the information were rewarded-the venison of the big red deer, as the person who hunted the big red deer alone, the stone bear has half the distribution rights for this deer.

   The three rewarded tribesmen happily returned home carrying venison. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, they will lead the guardian to see those places.

Although it is still the month of the **** (November), the decrease in temperature has made it difficult for many prey to hide in hiding. It is already difficult to catch prey on a large scale, so these venison are not the same for all three. Philippine's reward. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

   And the weather is getting colder and colder, the tribe has rarely held large-scale hunting activities. Everyone in the tribe has started Maodong, and they are full of time.

   Early the next morning, four horses left the tribe. Stone bear, fast horse, sharp stone and big spear rode towards the Great Smoky Mountain to the south.

The    tribe is at the foot of the Great Smoky Mountain and started climbing almost not far.

After    led the horse to climb the mountain for about an hour, the spear pointed at a forest in front and said, "The white soil was found there."

   This is a large oak forest, where you can't see the edge of the oak trees growing crazily on this hillside. There are tall oak trees with a height of more than 30 meters and a diameter of more than one and a half meters.

   After walking into the oak forest, a few people came to a relatively flat and spacious place, where traces of fire and cooking can be seen everywhere. Obviously, this spacious area is where the hunters of the Gaoshu tribe often stop.

A thick dead branch was easily broken from an oak tree, and then the stone bear began to dig on the ground. Soon after the surface soil was dug down about 20 cm, a layer of white and delicate soil appeared. In front of Shixiong.

   bent down and grabbed a hand. Ishikuma rubbed it slightly. It felt soft and slippery at the same time. Yes, it was the kaolin that I had seen in my previous life.

   The former home of Shixiong was in a mountainous area. There was a kaolin mine not far from his village. When Shixiong was a child, he and his friends had misfortunes in that mine. Naturally, he knew what kaolin was.

The white delicate clay in    is kaolin!
