A month later, tens of thousands of people from the Desolate Ancient Tribe returned.At this moment, the tribe was boiling, and the patriarch Gu Chen brought back tens of thousands of people at once, which made the entire tribe shake.Not only that, this time Gu Chen also brought back a huge amount of black copper ore, a full 300,000 tons of black copper ore, which is unbelievable.Some of them were the original inventory of the orc clan, and later, Gu Chen laid down the mine and let tens of thousands of people go crazy to mine for a month.Because of the regaining freedom, tens of thousands of people can be said to have burst out with the greatest enthusiasm for mining, and the speed and output are naturally different from those of being beast slaves before.In a month, hundreds of thousands of tons of black copper ore are dug out, which can be said to be very rare.Moreover, there are countless tin ores that the orc clan once abandoned, and the quantity is even larger, and Gu Chen has been transported back several times.Gu Chen came back with tens of thousands of people and strengthened the tribe, which suddenly made the tribe's food shortage and the pressure increased greatly, but fortunately he was able to barely get through.However, this is a big problem after all, and the food problem must be solved as soon as possible, so Gu Chen's next priority is to solve the problem of food shortage in the tribe.Fortunately, the valley where the tribe is located is rich in food resources, and fish, animals, wild vegetables, wild fruits, etc. have a relatively stable harvest.Not to starve, but to really grow the tribe without a food crisis, this is a big problem that must be solved.Since ancient times, food has been the most important priority in any world, and it is one of the most important prerequisites for the growth of tribes."
Food" Gu Chen stood on the top of the tribe's mountain, looking down at the entire tribe below, and tens of thousands of people began to build the tribe's houses in a hurry.Tens of thousands of people had to be re-planned and built in large numbers to give the tens of thousands of new arrivals a place to live.Also, with the large amount of black copper and tin ore brought back this time, Gu Chen once again expanded the tribe's smelting station and rebuilt three huge smelting furnaces.The next step is to try bronze smelting and fusion, this step, Gu Chen can only secretly pray, hoping that black copper and ores similar to tin ore can be a little stronger.If it really succeeds in smelting the new bronze, it will inevitably bring an astonishing transformation and progress to the tribe, stepping into the sign of civilization.With Bronze, the strength of the entire Desolate Ancient Tribe will usher in a huge change, which will be extremely important for future expansion and development.As for a single smelting black copper, although it can also improve the overall strength of the tribe, Gu Chen felt that since it had a higher level, why not do it?
Bronze is an alloy of two metals on earth, copper and tin, which are more powerful and perfect than copper alone in every way.Because Gu Chen knew that in this wild world, whether it was a human race or other alien races, there was no bronze appearance.This is the opportunity of Gu Chen, mastering the bronze smelting technology, which will inevitably bring great changes to the tribe as a whole.After returning to the tribe, Gu Chen devoted himself to construction, and there was not much time for cultivation, and there was still a worry in his heart, and the threat from the beast clan could not be guarded against.After all, he knocked out a large mine of the orcs, killed 10,000 orcs, and took away a large amount of black copper ore, which would definitely attract the wrath of the orcs.It won't be long before the orcs will be able to track it down, and Gu Chen must raise the tribe's strength before the orcs arrive.Otherwise, how to face the impending revenge of the orcs?
There is also a big problem, because the tens of thousands of people brought back are all young and strong men, which is really not a good thing for the entire tribe.After all, the imbalance between men and women in the tribal population is definitely not a good thing, so Gu Chen's next thought is to supplement this as soon as possible.But where to get more population to dilute the deficiencies of the replenishing tribes?
In half a month, the Desolate Ancient Tribe finally completed the construction of the house, as well as the construction of other smelters.The power of tens of thousands of people is extremely huge, and once they are condensed, they can create all kinds of miracles and bring huge gains to the development of the ancient tribes.Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the reclamation of tribal planting areas is enough to open up a large area of fertile land, collect all kinds of wild vegetables, and sow seeds of wild fruits.There is another one, Gu Chen selected the strongest and youngest people from tens of thousands of young people, and a full 10,000 people were selected.Based on the 1,000 warriors of the previous tribe, the first legion of the tribe was built, and the first tribal army in the true sense of the word.Moreover, as Gu Chen's cultivation method is passed on, everyone will be able to cultivate, and in the future, stronger warriors will continue to be replaced to supplement and expand the combat effectiveness of the legion.Production, hunting, resource gathering, cultivation, combat training and tempering, the ancient tribe is methodically and steadily becoming stronger and thriving.A month after his return, the tribe was finally completely stabilized, and the consumption and access to food were basically the same, enough to feed the current tribe.The only fly in the ointment is that the tribe's smelting technology still hasn't made the bronze out, even with some of the methods given by Gu Chen, even the detailed steps have not succeeded."
Why didn't it work out?"
On this day, Gu Chen once again came to the tribal smelting area, looking at the huge furnace in front of him, the flames were blazing, and the temperature was extremely high.From time to time, a black-brown copper water flowed from the furnace, which was black copper water.In a furnace on the other side, a metal solution is smelted, which is tin ore.However, the fusion of the two metal solutions could not form a new, more powerful metal, which means that the bronze synthesis project encountered difficulties."
Patriarch, according to your orders, we have tried many times, but without success, the two metal waters cannot be fused together at all."
A clan elder shuddered to say this difficulty, the two metals were incompatible.Black copper, which is incompatible with metals similar to tin ore, seems to have a great rejection of the two, and they are incompatible when put together.This phenomenon surprised Gu Chen, and even puzzled.It stands to reason that it would be not difficult for two metals to fuse together, because on Earth you can melt two metals into a liquid state and then fuse them into alloys.But why can't it be done now, incompatible?"
Can't this world make alloys?"
An idea popped up in Gu Chen's heart, but he quickly rejected it.Just kidding, it's absolutely impossible for metals to fuse together, there must be something he ignores.Otherwise, how can some powerful weapons in this world be created?
For example, some of the treasures harvested before, the moon blade, although they were destroyed when they fought against the gods of the bluestone tribe, they were definitely not just one metal, but several metals that were successfully smelted.Gu Chen had tried it himself, no matter what the proportion, the two metal solutions could not be fused together, and they were as clear as calcination together.Black copper and tin, like two repulsions, cannot be fused, and they will not be able to smelt a new alloy, bronze."
Why?"
Gu Chen was a little crazy, he was not a scientist, let alone a smelting expert, so he didn't understand why this was at all.The first attempt, the confidence was great, but now it has been greatly hit, and the confidence is a little shaken, is it really impossible to make bronze?"
Patriarch, the clansmen you brought back before, there are several old people who have asked to see you."
At this moment, a clansman hurriedly came and informed him of the news, and among the tens of thousands of people he had brought back before, several old people wanted to see him."
Want to see me?"
Gu Chen frowned slightly, a little surprised, but he still put down the matter of smelting at the moment, and left here after explaining.He wanted to see what those people were looking for him.
