Chapter 564 Site Selection

Everyone in the Qingque tribe seemed a little uneasy, and many people would involuntarily look west of the tribe when they were working.

They are looking forward to the early return of those who have gone out, to be precise, they are looking forward to the early return of the Son of God.

I don't know why, there is no God Son in the tribe, even though they know that there is no tribe nearby that can cause great harm to their own tribe, but they are not at ease in their hearts, as if they are missing a lot of things.

The pregnant Bai Xuemei ran to the gate more times than Wu Du.

I don't weave much of the cloth I like to weave, and I come out to have a look at it from time to time between feeding silkworms.

In fact, she wanted to go up to the fence to look around, but she just remembered that brother Cheng would not let her climb so high, so she had to change to the gate instead.

After looking here with anticipation for a while, the west side was still calm, and Bai Xuemei, who was a little disappointed, turned around and went back to add mulberry leaves to the silkworms.

This crop of silkworms has almost grown in size and is about to undergo the last shedding, so they eat a lot.

Turned around and took two steps back, then habitually turned to look west, and then a miracle appeared.

On the path in the forest to the west where there were no people just now, there were more people carrying loads and deer carrying bags.

Slightly stunned, the joyful Bai Xuemei hugged her belly and ran quickly towards that side without saying a word.

"Back! Back!"

After Bai Xuemei ran a certain distance, someone also found the returning team and shouted excitedly, so the Qingque tribe boiled.

"I go!"

Han Cheng carried the burden and walked towards the front of the team, looked at the tribe that appeared in front of him, and heard the cheers from the tribe because of their return, Han Cheng, like the rest of the team, also had a smile on his face When I saw the flowers, I instantly felt that all the hardships I had suffered before were worth it.

But this kind of good mood disappeared after discovering that the guy who hugged his stomach and threw others far away, and just ran towards this side with his head sullen without saying a word, was Bai Xuemei.

Han Cheng said: "I'll go" exit, and rushed out of the team with the burden.

This silly woman is getting worse and worse...

The Qingque tribe is full of joy,

Bags of ore were poured out and piled together, not a small pile.

Under the sunlight, these ores look extremely beautiful, and they are more attractive than ordinary stones.

Wu picked up a piece of translucent malachite and placed it in front of his eyes. Looking at it in the sunlight, he suddenly felt that the world had become more colorful.

Bai Xuemei, who was slapped twice on the head, followed Han Cheng like a kitten, unwilling to leave. She followed Han Cheng wherever he went, just like an asshole.

"The silkworm is starving to death."

Han Cheng helplessly pointed to the dustpan not far away to finish eating the mulberry leaves, and the hungry silkworm said to Bai Xuemei.

This clingy guy left Han Cheng to feed the silkworms.

After feeding, he came to Han Cheng's side non-stop.

Han Cheng had no choice but to smile helplessly, but it was very useful in his heart.

The copper ore has been brought back, and the next step is to refine pure copper.

And to smelt copper, you need to get a smelting furnace first.

Han Cheng has never seen this kind of stove, let alone copper smelting, so he can only grope slowly.

He poured the ore he brought back on the ground, told Wu and others about the going out and asked about what had happened in the tribe during this period, and told each other about parting. After having lunch and resting for a while, Han Cheng walked out. The tribe, call Hei Wa, a guy who likes making pottery, and walk outside the tribe together.

Of course, it's not for outings or anything, but to find a suitable place to build a stove.

Copper smelting furnaces are best located in the downwind of residential areas and downstream of rivers, so as to reduce the impact of waste gas on people and the pollution of water sources by things such as slag.

In addition, the terrain should be higher and farther away from the river. This is to reduce the stove from being damp and avoid being washed away by the river when the water rises.

After choosing and choosing, Han Cheng finally chose the place in the northwest of the tribe near the quarry.

The southeast wind is the most windy here in the tribe. This is the downwind area, and it is far enough away from the river that it will not be affected.

Because the ore transportation of the Qingque tribe is by land, the fact that it is far away from the river has little effect on the Qingque tribe.

This place is a small hillock, the terrain is relatively high, and the chance of getting wet is small. It is indeed an ideal place to build a furnace.

After choosing the place, Han Cheng didn't delay, and immediately got people to start construction.

First, a half-meter-wide tunnel was dug at a relatively high place, and the tunnel was covered with stone slabs.

A circular pottery dish with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters is placed in the middle. The thickness of the pottery dish is more than five centimeters, and it is covered with round holes with a diameter of about two centimeters, like honeycomb coal.

A thick layer of loess and pottery clay was pasted on the stone slab before the stove was started.

In this way, moisture can be avoided to the greatest extent, and at the same time, it can be ventilated and leak ash downward, so that the fire can burn more vigorously.

After getting the most basic things done, it's already getting late, and the rest can only be done tomorrow.

Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and Han Cheng is in the same year. After hearing the news of the child at night, there is a tenderness between him and Bai Xuemei, so there is no need to elaborate.

The next day, he called Shang Hei Wa to continue cooking.

Heiwa has done a lot of things like stoves, and he couldn't help it. Someone transported bricks here and he was responsible for the plates. Before noon, a stove was freshly baked, and a large vat was placed on it, the copper smelting stove of the Qingque tribe. Also appeared.

It just looks a little too crude or child's play.

Han Cheng didn't have many ways to think about this. He was really unfamiliar with copper smelting, so he could only learn while fighting.

Get some firewood and put it into the new stove, dry it and test the fire.

The stove was very successful, and the fire was very hot, and in the afternoon, the stove was dried out.

Wu, senior brother and others couldn't wait to start practicing copper with the newly installed stove, hoping to see this metal earlier.

Copper is not easy to deal with. It looks like a stove, and if you want to refine it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time.

Looking up at the westward sun, Han Cheng still suppressed the impulse in his heart, and instead of agreeing to what Wu and the others said, he asked someone to transport the copper ore in the courtyard here.

At the same time, people built a shed with tree trunks to cover the stove.

It can make the stove less exposed to wind and rain, and at the same time, you can store some charcoal under the shed. In case of windy and rainy weather, there is a shed, and you can continue to smelt copper here without any influence.

Before it got dark, the copper ore and charcoal had already been delivered, and the shed was being built according to Han Cheng's request, and it would take three days at most.

With the increase in population and the increase in proficiency, when the people of Qingque tribe do these things again, the speed is not what it used to be.
