Chapter 562 Copper Mine, Poisonous Bug!

"Ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong..."

A series of musical notes sounded around the Tongshan color pool. This was not a thawed brook running freely, but Han Dashenzi, who had freed himself, was carrying a hard stone and kept smashing here.

At this time, Han Cheng was looking for trouble, and he arranged for the rest of the people to get malachite, while he walked around, and when he saw a stone that was not pleasing to the eye, he went up and down twice.

After a while, a surprise finally appeared.

After a dark stone was smashed, the outer black shell faded away, revealing a piece of yellow in the sun.

Looking at this fist-sized object, which was dazzling yellow in the sun, Han Chengxi smiled.

This is of course not a piece of gold, but a piece of copper.

Just as there are pure gold nuggets in gold mines, there are also pure copper in copper mines.

However, the exposed pure copper will oxidize like iron after a long time. The black shells that Han Cheng broke open are oxides.

This piece of pure copper has attracted the attention of many people. People from the Qingque tribe came to touch it with their hands, feeling very happy and surprised by the heavy weight of the copper piece and its texture different from that of stone.

Thinking of what Han Cheng said before, some people feel a little regretful, it looks more beautiful than iron, and copper is much more beautiful, so why is it not as hard and easy to use as iron?

It can be seen from this that things like "judging people by their appearance" began in ancient times.

With this piece of pure copper as an incentive, Han Cheng tapped even more vigorously.

But he didn't let others intervene in this matter. Shang, Mao and others were still dealing with malachite and some other copper ores.

After all, these copper ores are the main raw materials for copper smelting, and the pure copper that exists directly is only a very small number.

He is not simply looking for pure copper by beating and tapping. In the process, he is also looking at the distribution of copper mines here, so as to get a simple and preliminary understanding of the situation here.

"here!"

Shang over there seemed a little excited and shouted.

The people scattered around heard the shouts coming together, and Han Cheng also went there with another small piece of pure copper that he had harvested.

He wanted to see what Shang found as soon as possible.

Seeing Han Cheng approaching, the people surrounding him consciously gave way, and the scene here also appeared in front of Han Cheng's eyes.

This is an irregular pit with a depth of only about half a meter. There are some green malachite piled up around the pit.

It can be seen that the hole has just been dug.

Inside the pit, more green stones were exposed. The stones were large and small, irregular, but they looked purer than the ones seen before.

There is no doubt that this is a high quality malachite mine.

After Han Cheng asked Shang about the situation and checked it for a while, he immediately ordered that no one should be allowed to search around, but to dig here directly with tools.

The stone shovels and bone shovels of the Qingque tribe are not very easy to use here and are relatively easy to damage.

So after cleaning up the not too much soil around this small stone pit, the mining tool became the most common and extremely versatile multifunctional weapon in the primitive era-the wooden stick.

Of course, there are prerequisites for using sticks to mine.

I don’t know why the ore in this piece is relatively broken, and there are gaps in the middle. If you can’t pick it up with your hands, you can poke a solid wooden stick into the gap, use the principle of leverage to warp it back and forth, or shake the stick. Smash it down along the gap to prop it open.

Open-pit mining is such a casual thing.

Of course, at this time, it is impossible for Han Cheng not to accompany him like this.

Because before the bronze was made, he couldn't make a good tool.

Finding a breakthrough point of high-quality ore veins means high work efficiency. When the sky is about to dusk, not far from the mine pit that has become larger and deeper, a lot of high-quality malachite has been piled up.

Stones are heavy, let alone ores containing metals, which are heavier than ordinary stones. Just this pile can easily exceed a thousand catties.

Han Cheng was a little surprised that the copper ore mining was going so smoothly. According to this speed, they would be able to return home in less than two days.

Seeing that it was getting late, Han Chenggong asked people to stop their movements, and together they went to the cave of the Tengshe Tribe that no longer existed.

In the next few days, they will settle down here.

But Han Cheng and the others didn't live in the cave directly tonight.

The cave of the Tengshe Tribe has not been inhabited for more than half a year, and there may be something sheltering in it.

Of course, this 'thing' does not refer to fox fairies and ghosts, but those poisonous insects who like to burrow into the gaps and the like.

So Han Chenggong asked people to find a lot of dead branches and leaves, put them in the hole and light them, and couldn't stop smoking.

A lot of wet wormwood found nearby was piled on top of the dead branches and leaves.

Many people don't care much about Shenzi's cautious behavior, after all, they grew up in the wilderness since childhood.

It was only in the past few years that I lived in a house. I used to live in caves, and it didn't seem to be dangerous.

Of course, I thought so, but I still did things according to Shenzi's request. Some people smashed Ye Xun's cave inside, and some people cooked.

Flames rose in the cave, and choking smoke filled the interior.

The people who didn't care much before gradually changed their expressions, because as the flames in the cave burned, things that made the skin crawl gradually happened.

More and more things are coming out of it.

A few egg-sized spiders with ferocious spots on their backs, long legs and bristles, a giant centipede with long chopsticks, black and red claws, a scorpion with a high tail, green all over, screaming I don't know the name, but it's not a good thing at first sight...

The faces of the Qingque Tribe turned green from the sight of the many guys who ran out in a hurry due to the flames and thick smoke.

Although they are ferocious, when they face these poisonous insects, they really feel a little scared in their hearts.

Compared with ferocious beasts, sometimes these little poisonous insects are more frightening, making people feel that they have no way to attack and cannot be guarded against.

After seeing so many things, they all cast admiring glances at Shenzi who was standing aside with a look of wisdom beads in his hands.

Fortunately, the Son of God is here this time. If not, if you spend the night in this cave under such circumstances, maybe someone will never wake up again...

Little did he know that Shenzi, who was calm on the surface, was also panicking in his heart at this time.

Han Cheng just thought that there might be more poisonous insects if there were no people living here for a long time, but he didn't expect that there would be such a terrifying number.

Another reason is that he suddenly remembered the caves in his tribe that were used as kitchens and dining halls...

(a bit of Calvin...)
