After entering the bird tribe, I want to farm

The weather is getting colder and the ice outside is getting thicker.

There are already orcs and sub-orcs in the tribe who have packed up their things and dragged their families to live in the cave.

Bai Wu came back from the vegetable field this morning, and happened to bump into two fathers flying back one after the other, "Why did you come back so soon, didn't you chat with everyone?"

Chuan changed back into human form and put on animal skins, "They are going to make breakfast, and the two of us will come back to help."

Mo took out the shoes and handed them to his feet. He helped Mo's shoulders to put on the shoes, "Where's An?"

Bai Wu put down the basket on his back, "I went to collect the fish cage. Are they cooking inside the cave or outside?"

"Outside. I reminded them as you said, and now they dare not even warm up in the cave."

You need to be careful of carbon monoxide poisoning when enjoying a fire in a confined space.

Bai Wu nodded, slightly relieved.

Not long after the three of them came back, Kishi also came back.

As soon as he came back, he showed the bucket in his hand to Bai Wu, "Look, I caught three big fish today! The fishing net seems to be better than the previous fish cage."

"Fish hanging on the net?"

"That's right, when I pulled the net up, they were still struggling. Look at this one, it has a wound on its pectoral fin. It should have been stored for a while, so it needs to be eaten early."

"Don't eat it. My fish is almost hurting from eating it. I still fry the animal meat today? I picked some fat grass and came back. I just boiled some animal oil and fried the fat grass."

While Bai Wu was talking, seeing his brother's bitter face, he turned around and said, "Salad dressing is also fine."

"Then it's cold salad." Kishi sighed, "I don't have bubbles in my mouth now, why do I have to eat so much fat and grass?"

Bai Wu didn't raise her head, "It's fine if you don't eat. When you go to the toilet, if you can't get out, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Kishi sighed again, and changed the subject, "Are you going to dig fertilizer and grass today?"

"It's not special, I went to see how the leeks are growing, and scattered some bitter grass seeds in the Xingwang Valley."

"Won't ducks pick up grass seeds and eat them?"

"Who knows? I'll talk about it later. The ducks aren't going to be released now anyway."

After dinner, Bai Wu went to look for Nan Yao with the six pieces of black metal on her back.

Nan Yao has returned from inspecting the territory again.

The two sat in front of a pile of metal.

Nan Yao asked, "What do you want to do with these—metals?"

"First start the furnace and burn it to see what the melting point of these metals is and whether they can be forged."

With their current conditions, if the melting point of the metal is higher than [-] degrees Celsius, it is basically impossible for them to melt the metal into a liquid.

Even if it can be melted in the middle of the pottery kiln, they don't have the corresponding tools to take out the liquid metal.

It is too difficult to cast something in such a crude environment.

Nan Yao and Bai Wu have been together for so long, he knows a little bit of everything Bai Wu knows.

Bai Wu roughly said what he wanted, and Nan Yao understood.

Taking advantage of the free time in winter, Bai Wu planned to use these metal blocks to forge a knife.

The two made a simple kiln with clay, and then began to use the method of in-situ pile burning, first burning batches of charcoal, and then making various molds with clay.

These are extremely careful and patient tasks, and there is nothing to be lazy about.

The two could only do similar tasks over and over again, making the tools they wanted one by one.

There was nothing to do in winter, the two stayed on the mountain all day, and no one knew about it except Bai Wu's family, they stayed together almost day and night.

They agree most of the time, and sometimes argue.

When arguing, most of them ended in Bai Wu's defeat.

Nan Yao learned too quickly and thought very carefully.

On the contrary, Bai Wu didn't expect him to be so considerate.

Coming to this orc world, he can still argue with people about technology issues. Every time Bai Wu loses, it feels amazing.

After the new kiln was built, Bai Wu and the others put the metal blocks on the furnace bars and started to burn them with a high fire.

After burning for a long time, Bai Wu found that the metal could burn red, but there was no sign of melting.

After many experiments, he has discovered that this metal is probably not iron or iron alloy, nor is it any metal he knows, it may be a special metal of this world.

This may also be his misjudgment, but he does not have any reliable reagents to measure it.

Bai Wu could only temporarily name this metal black gold.

Nan Yao has no objection.

They can burn red and black gold, but they can't melt it.

Bai Wu originally planned to melt these pieces of metal together and then forge them.

Unexpectedly, the first step would not work. Now the two can only abandon the original plan and start forging with coolies.

The two put the metal ore on the furnace bar, waited for it to burn red, clamped it out with a stone rod, put it on the stone, and beat the ore with a hard big stone.

After the ore burned red, it was easy to hit a dozen sparks. Both Baiwu and Nanyao's animal fur coats burned through several holes, Baiwu's feet were burned twice, and his fingernails were smashed out of blood.

Hard work is second.

To Bai Wu's despair, the metal ore was extremely tough. After two or three days of forging, the impurities in the ore did not decrease much, at least there was no change visible to the naked eye.

During this forging process, his hands had become swollen to pig's trotters from beating stones every day, and it hurt even to curl up.

He was embarrassed to leave all the work to Nan Yao, even if it hurt, he could only endure it forcefully.

It's just that the process frustrates him.

He never imagined that making tools would be so difficult.

"No." Baiwu lay paralyzed in Nanyao's nest like a dead bird, staring at the top of the nest and murmured, "It's too inefficient for us to go on like this, let alone, look at that stove, it only burns red ore It will take most of the day, and half of the day is spent waiting."

When he was talking, he deliberately opened his hands to the sides, and the cool wind blew over, which could relieve the pain in the palms.

Nan Yao touched his hand lightly, "Leave this to me, you go back and rest first."

"Leave it to you, don't you also have to work?" Bai Wu said weakly, "Let me think about how to improve tools."

Bai Wu thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to try raising the temperature of the furnace first. Maybe the degree of melting of the black gold will be higher when the temperature of the furnace is raised, and it will not be so difficult for them to beat.

He decided to make a bellows.

After listening to his thoughts, Nan Yao said, "It's not simple?"

"It's not simple, but it doesn't seem to work without a bellows. There is not enough oxygen in the kiln, and the temperature can't go up."

"How to do this?"

"It's still made of clay. Make a bucket with clay, and then make a wooden fan inside. When we turn the fan, there will be wind in the bellows."

Nan Yao imagined for a while, "Is it similar to a sending bucket?"

"A little bit, but the fan blades are bigger. The fan we want must be vertical, that is, the fan blades are erected. When the time comes, when the handle is turned, there will be wind."

Bai Wu intends to make a fan like a bamboo dragonfly, but the bamboo dragonfly's wings are erected, and when it is rubbed with hands, it can create a whistling wind.

Bai Wu talked and gestured, and Nan Yao quickly understood, "This kind of bellows can be made."

"Then let's make bellows. If we continue to forge, I think both of my hands will be useless."

It is not easy to make a bellows, but it requires relatively little effort. Bai Wu now feels that not doing heavy work is resting.

The two experimented several times, and finally decided on the plan slowly.

They built a cylinder out of clay and put the fan in it vertically.

The top of the cylinder has to be sealed, leaving only one air inlet and one air outlet to increase the wind force in the bellows.

Bai Wu and Nanyao built the bellows next to the forging furnace, and then built a thick and short inverted trumpet-shaped air outlet to connect to the furnace mouth and send all the wind into the furnace.

The bellows had to be built and aired, as was the fan. This tossing took another few days.

During this period of time, they didn't stop working hard. They had already forged six pieces of ore into thick and short pieces, turning them into a metal rod with holes and uneven thickness.

During the forging process, Nanyao mainly contributed and Baiwu spoke.

Even so, the process was exhausting enough.

After finally waiting for the bellows to dry, Nanyao tentatively turned the wooden stick on the bellows, and the whistling wind came out of the bellows and was sent directly into the stove.

Every time the wind blows in, they can clearly see from the opening above that the charcoal fire in the stove turns orange and bright, and the fire grows stronger.

Bai Wu disliked the laborious method of turning the wooden stick by hand, so he simply made a structure for making a firebow.

He tied the rope to a curved wooden stick, and then put the rope on the handle of the fan. Every time he pushed and pulled the wooden stick, the rope would rotate back and forth with the handle, and a whistling wind would be generated in the bellows.

At this time, the charcoal in the furnace burns extremely fast, and the black money also burns extremely fast.

Nan Yao used a stone stick to pinch the black gold out and placed it on the big rock that served as a chopping board. The two of them took turns hitting the black gold stick under their hands one by one.

After the black gold rod gradually cooled and changed color, the two sent the black gold into the furnace, and then started a new round of fanning and heating.

Bai Wu gradually felt that pulling the handle of the fan with the structure of the fire bow was tiring. The main reason was that every time he pulled it, he had to press the top of the handle with a stone, otherwise the handle would run away.

Such pressing with one hand and pulling with the other made his already sore arms worse, and his joints ached from exhaustion every day.

He couldn't stand it anymore, so he used a wedge riveting structure to add a wooden frame on top of the bellows. The fan handle came out of the wooden frame and could only rotate within a small range.

After such a transformation, when Bai Wu pulls again, he can finally feel a little more relaxed.

The two of them made a whole set of forging tools from nothing, from what they had to fine, and there were even more than a dozen stones for striking black gold nuggets, ranging from small to large, neatly placed on the ground beside them.

However, half a month later, the line on Bai Wu's arm tightened a lot, and they still couldn't turn the metal stick into a metal knife.

In the process, their stones were cracked a lot.

One day, with Bai Wu's strength, the stone hit the black gold with a "boom", and after it was torn apart, Bai Wu couldn't help but sat down on the snow beside him, "This is too difficult."

He murmured: "Punting a boat to beat metal to grind tofu, I know the difficulty of the latter two."

Nan Yao checked and saw that his hand was not injured, so he also sat beside him to rest.

Nan Yao scooped out a bowl of water from the pitcher and handed it to him, "Since it's so difficult, shall we upgrade the tools again?"

"The upgrade of tools is limited." Bai Wu's eyes were blank, "With our current production capacity, we can only do so much."

"Then I'll go find a harder stone."

"No matter how hard the stone is, I'm afraid it won't work if we knock it day and night." Bai Wu said, "I think our direction may be wrong."

Seeing him discouraged, Nan Yao frowned slightly, and was about to say something when Bai Wu said, "We obviously have the technology, but there are also people who want to change our technology. Why do we have to come by ourselves? We should bring people to study together."

"Find someone?"

Bai Wu rubbed his rough palm, "If I want to find someone now, who else would doubt it?"

"Doubt what?"

"It's just that I don't doubt anything!" Bai Wuyue said, the more he felt feasible, "They have already accepted that I know all kinds of novel things, and there is no need to hide these things from them at all."

Nan Yao thought for a moment, nodded and agreed with his plan, "How many people do you want to find?"

Bai Wu said, "At least six or seven? We can divide the newcomers into three groups, and knocking on each group for a while is better than knocking hard here."

Bai Wuyue said that the more he felt the joke, "Look, the technology of this thing will be popularized sooner or later. The first batch of people to learn technology must be our Bai and Ying people. Both peoples are trustworthy. Instead of waiting for us to introduce the technology If you have figured it out and handed it over to them, it would be better to lead them to explore it from the beginning.”

"Ask your patriarch first."

"No problem! Let's go and call it a day. Go to our patriarch first today, and after the negotiation is settled, go to the patriarch of the Eagle Clan and ask them to recommend a few suitable candidates to work with us."
