Section 523
"All the copper ore we collected on the north bank fell into the underground river."
"I never expected that there would be one here."
"These ores are likely to have drifted here from the Twin Mountains along the current. Don't underestimate these jet-black ores. With them, the stone ax may be officially retired and replaced by the copper ax soon."
A few days ago, I was worrying about not having the raw materials to complete the task.
Unexpectedly, everything would fall into place today.
This script is really awesome!
"It's a blessing in disguise. If it hadn't happened today, we wouldn't have discovered this?"
"Keep it first, and when you have time, start practicing, refine the brass inside, and try to make an exquisite copper axe!"
Lu Yu's mood at this moment was comparable to winning five million in a row.
Even worse.
After all, for him, five million is only a few dollars.
Because it's in the wilderness.
If money was really useful, everything wouldn't be so troublesome.
In no man's land, money is one of the most useless things.
On weekdays, everyone tries in vain to obtain material needs.
But here you can’t even buy stuttering food.
There are gains and losses.
Big ups and downs.
With excitement, Lu Yu threw the ore into the bamboo basket.
Then he returned to the camp.
After arriving at the location, it’s the clichéd production process again.
have nothing to say.
Modify the ax handle, burn the hole with charcoal, polish the ax blade...
It took nearly an hour to complete a set of procedures.
Because I don’t plan to use it for a long time, I kept everything simple except for the ax blade, which took a lot of effort.
As long as it works.
…
noon.
After eating something simple, Lu Yu got ready to go.
Along the road we went to the small slope where we found the eucalyptus trees.
Work hard.
The new ax blade has been carefully polished after all.
Although the shape is not perfect.
But it also improves felling efficiency to a certain extent.
But because eucalyptus is too hard.
Following the indentation made before, it took Lu Yu more than ten minutes to get one!
"call--!"
"Eucalyptus is rich in oil, and its density is much higher than that of hibiscus and albizia trees."
"As good as oak."
“If you have a good felling tool at hand, you may not feel the difference.”
"But if the whole process is felled by manpower, the effect will be obvious. I didn't expect that the job of felling trees would be more tiring than building a house."
"Hey!"
Finished.
Lu Yu worked hard.
Changed target.
Another strike from the axe.
There are a total of five eucalyptus trees growing scattered on the slope.
Due to the growth habits of the eucalyptus trees, the nearby soil has begun to become sandy.
The soil structure has also changed to some extent.
Thanks to the humid climate here, which is warm and rainy, the vegetation coverage is large.
If you were in a dry zone, this would not be the case.
soon.
Two or three hours flew by in the blink of an eye.
The cutting progress has finally come to an end.
After resting for a while while sweating profusely.
Lu Yu pulled out a rope from his waist.
The cut eucalyptus trees were randomly tied into bundles.
Because the weather is bad, it will get dark very quickly during this period.
So Lu Yu didn't stay long, picked up the firewood and turned around and returned to the camp.
evening.
While preparing dinner, Lu Yu kept playing with the ore in his hand.
Thinking about how to smelt these rusty stones into bronze.
The idea is okay.
But if it comes to actual operation, there are many things that need to be paid attention to.
First is the kiln.
Next is the blower.
Then there is the most important mold and temperature control.
these links.
Even if there is no precise data support.
It has to be almost done.
All in all, it's still a bit difficult.
…
at the same time.
When the live broadcast is in full swing.
China is far away across the ocean.
The whole country is rejoicing, celebrating the arrival of the new year!
The annual Spring Festival Gala.
Arrived as expected.
this point in time.
Almost everyone across the country is glued to the television.
While eating New Year’s Eve dinner, we savored the entertainment feast on the big screen.
But this year, it's different.
Although the ratings remain high.
But many young people have other choices.
Even at the beginning of the Spring Festival Gala.
The popularity of Lu Yu's live broadcast room has not been affected at all.
The number of people online is still as full as ever!
but.
One thing to say.
The Spring Festival Gala is quite interesting.
As the level of science and technology increases day by day, the Spring Festival Gala in this world is much more powerful than the previous one.
Stage lighting.
It is no exaggeration to say it is the best in the world.
For this reason, in addition to Chinese at home and abroad, many foreigners also participated.
Half past nine in the evening.
Halfway through the show.
After the popular boy's song ended.
The female host Lin Liya walked to the stage in high heels and held a microphone, and said with a smile:
"The past year has been an extraordinary year."
“It’s also a year worthy of applause.”
