Chapter 652: Inside the Brick Kiln

"We, the members of the elders, will choose the best among them!"

At this point, Elder Niu's tone paused.

Then he shook the crutch in his hand and said with a majestic expression: "Don't worry, our elders are absolutely impartial!"

Lu Xiao nodded and agreed: "No problem, I also think it is necessary!"

"You can't just say that I can fight and just make me the leader. That would be too perfunctory!"

Hearing Lu Xiao's words, a flash of approval flashed deep in Elder Niu's eyes.

He slowly raised his hand, and then patted Lu Xiao heavily on the shoulder: "You are very good, I am very optimistic about you!"

"Just rest here for two days. It will take some time before the test begins!"

Lu Xiao nodded.

Then the three of them chatted for a while.

After sending Elder Niu away, the tauren warriors blocking the door were also dismissed by Niu Ben.

Only the two tauren, Lu Xiao and Niu Ben, were left looking at each other.

Lu Xiao curled his lips and said with a bit of worry in his tone: "I think those tribesmen will target me during the test!"

Niu Ben slapped his chest loudly.

"Don't worry, I will take part in the test with you when the time comes. If anyone dares to target you, I will grind his horns into powder and drink it in water!"

These words made Lu Xiao truly understand the word 'honest' for the first time.

Lu Xiao's original intention was to let Niu Ben join the test through verbal guidance.

Then when the time comes, he will help Niu Ben, control the points himself, and directly let Niu Ben be the leader.

As a result, Niu Ben had already fallen into the trap before he even started to guide.

Lu Xiao sighed in his heart.

"Forget it, be nicer to this cow in the future."

…………

In the end, Lu Xiao still didn't live in the former leader's mansion.

Instead, he dove into the brick kiln in the city.

Lu Xiao was still very interested in this brick kiln.

After all, this is the superficial pillar industry of the Tauren clan.

Although Lu Xiao was not very professional when it came to firing bricks, he still knew the general process very well.

After all, he had been hanging out in Tieba for a while.

That was the first and so far only time he used his mind to browse information.

And just at that time, I met an old man in this field who was posting about the basic brick-making process.

Lu Xiao was curious about how these tauren could shape the bricks given the hardness of the soil in hell.

As soon as I walked into the brick kiln, a wave of heat hit my face.

The internal space of the brick kiln is very large, about hundreds of acres.

Far from the door, stacks of finished bricks were neatly placed in the open space.

The temperature here is relatively not very high.

These finished bricks are placed here, obviously ready for transportation.

Lu Xiao did not stay here too long, but walked towards the depths of the brick kiln.

The further toward the center, the higher the surrounding temperature.

Soon, Lu Xiao arrived at the central area.

There is a pool here.

The pool is large and the water is filled with steaming heat.

Beside the pool, a group of tauren were lining up to throw bags of mud into the water.

On the other side of the pool, someone fished out the soaked mud.

Lu Xiao came to the other side of the pool.

After the soaked mud chunks were salvaged, they were transported elsewhere.

Of course Lu Xiao knew where these mud chunks came from.

It doesn’t take much thinking to know that this is the result of hell.

Races that can establish a gathering place all raise one or more hellworms.

In hell, only these hellworms can destroy the hard soil.

Lu Xiao also had speculations about this.

Ruiqi once said that according to the mythical records passed down by the royal family, hell is the body of a powerful being after the death.

Hellworms are maggots found on corpses.

Lu Xiao speculated that this myth might be the truth.

He followed a tauren who was transporting mud blocks to the core area of ​​the brick kiln.

At this time, the surrounding temperature was already suffocating.

And this is the core area for processing bricks.

Lu Xiao saw with his own eyes that the tauren put the soaked mud blocks into molds also made of mud.

Then the stronger tauren swung the hammer in his hand and struck the surface of the mold.

These mud blocks are still very hard even after being soaked.

This can be seen from the tauren holding hammers.

The size of a piece of mud is about the size of a brick.

One mold corresponds to one brick.

There are countless strong tauren here.

The horns on their heads are thick and thick.

They are also taller than Niu Ben and others.

At this time, Lu Xiao finally understood why an ox with thick horns was not suitable for being a leader.

All the emotionally and physically strong people work here as coolies.

Thinking about it this way, Elder Niu is quite good at talking.

He didn't directly say on the spot that he was only suitable to be a cow and horse here.

Lu Xiao shook his head and shook the messy thoughts out of his mind.

He didn't need to watch the rest of the process.

At this point, Lu Xiao had a deeper understanding of Elder Niu's previous words.

The ancestors of the tauren clan indeed had great wisdom.

Use a mold also made of clay to press the soil.

Then use the different characteristics of humidity to release the mold.

I have to say, there are indeed two brushes.

After the bricks are removed from the mold, they only need to be dried at high temperatures to become extremely hard again.

Then it can become a building material.

Lu Xiao sighed in his heart: "I didn't expect that it was a race that started with building materials!"

Lu Xiao was not sure whether other races would have this technology.

At least he had never seen it in the Holy City and the Succubus Gathering Place.

It is a rare thing for a race to have its own pillar industry.

This means that the Tauren tribe still has the potential to continue to develop.

Lu Xiao did not stay here for too long.

In his opinion, the brick-making process here is already complete enough.

Considering the factors of raw materials, there is no room for further optimization.

On the way out of the brick kiln, Lu Xiao already had the next plan in his mind.

Judging from the living environment of the Tauren, excluding their habits, it is still very simple.

This also means that the bricks made by these Taurens may not be sold at a good price.

If this craft is in a monopoly position in hell, the Tauren tribe would not be so miserable.

To cultivate a strong legion, the consumption of resources is an astronomical figure.

Lu Xiao certainly understands this deeply.

So the first problem he had to solve was how to obtain more resources through this industry.

As for whether he could pass the so-called wisdom test.

Lu Xiao was not worried.

If even he could not pass, then the other minotaurs would probably have no chance of passing.

It was not that Lu Xiao was extremely confident in his IQ.

After all, as long as the other minotaurs who participated in the test died, he would be the best one.

There was no doubt about this.
