The main reason is that it takes too long to make charcoal, so I can just make some other things during this time.
After the crucible and the blower were completed, Chen Chao called Zhi He Zhong to help, both of which were in the wheelbarrow production department, although their director and deputy director Qu and Li Nong were not there.
However, because of his rich experience in making wheelbarrows, Chen Chao was also included in the ‘preparation group for refining bronze’.
But the task entrusted to them now is very simple, mainly to smash copper ore and tin ore into pieces, and just smash them with stones.
In addition to crushing ore, burning charcoal, making crucibles, and making blowers, Chen Chao also began to figure out what to do after the first batch of bronze came out.
Saws, woks, knives, etc. are the main ones that are in urgent need.
But no matter what you do, you must first use the first batch of bronze liquid to cast long copper rods, copper hooks and other things.
Because Chen Chao discovered that, according to the current technical level, it is very easy to have a doll incident.
For example, there is no output without tools, no tools can be made without output, no output without tools...and over and over again...
It can be said that most things in the production tribe face this problem.
For example, it is now difficult to directly remove the crucible from the furnace.
However, the next procedure cannot be performed without removing it.
It is indeed possible to use the side tilt type, and only the tilt type can be used.
Because there is no tool to take it out at this stage. It is indeed possible to make ears for the crucible.
But the crucible has been heated to a temperature similar to that of molten bronze, the stone tools cannot be made long enough, and the wood will be easily burned.
So no matter what tools are to be made, whether it is a saw or an iron pan.
You need to get a few bronze sticks and bronze hooks so that you can quickly take out the crucible.
After waiting for a few days, the first batch of charcoal was successfully produced.
The weather at this time had already begun to warm up gradually, and Chen Chao would feel that the thick animal skin on his body was a little hot when he was working.
It seems that after the bronze is successfully produced, a group of people will be assigned to transform the paddy fields and prepare to plant rice in the spring.
Recently, as soon as Chen Chao started to work, a little old man with horns was very keen to visit.
Because he knew that these stones were what Chen Chao said, and they could make tools that were better than stone axes and spears.
It's just that he felt that the way to deal with it was too complicated. One would create something, and another would burn it, without making stone axes and spears at all.
In addition to supervising the construction progress of the new residence, the leader Yuan is also responsible for the food acquisition of the entire tribe.
Fortunately, the construction progress is checked by the three stupid arrogant members of the Construction Department. He only needs to take a last look.
Regardless of the reduction in the number of things in charge, this alone made the leader Yuan feel a little breathless.
It didn't matter if you could hold multiple jobs before, but now you can't.
Because there are at least twice as many people now!
Therefore, the amount of food needed is twice as much as before, and in order to provide food for so many people, it can be said that the chief's sorrow has turned his head.
After all, a certain old man was bitten to death before, and the pigs, sheep, and so on brought back, none of them could move, they all had to keep their cubs!
Fortunately, there are enough prey in the mountains, and there are also many wild animals on the plains. Recently, the river surface has begun to thaw, making fishing easier.
Therefore, there is no shortage of food for the time being, especially since the addition of many newcomers, the wish of the leader Yuan to expand the hunting team has been successfully realized.
Although there are more people, there are more people who can hunt and prepare food, so the current supply for this tribe is still more than enough.
But Chief Yuan also had the worry that he didn't say, because he felt that if he ate like this, the prey nearby would not be able to feed the Tianyuan tribe.
Recently, the deputy chief and Wu didn't know what they were doing all day long. He himself had a lot of things to do every day, so he couldn't find the opportunity to discuss this matter with them.
It's not that he is worried about the pigs and sheep they brought back, but don't look at the number of them now, but it really doesn't necessarily last long.
More talk about waiting until these pigs and sheep grow up.
So Chief Yuan, what has been worrying about this matter recently has been sighing all day long, and his hair has turned white.
Chen Chao looked at the charcoal inventory and thought it should be almost done.
In addition, the blower and crucible have been made before, including the copper ore and tin ore that need to be refined, and the sticks, saws, iron pots, axes, machetes, and other molds are also in place.
So Chen Chao grinds his fists and prepares to begin the first bronze refining of the Tianyuan tribe.
The crucible is not used in the first step, and the charcoal is put into two smelting furnaces at once.
Put ore on top, copper ore in copper furnace, tin ore in tin furnace, and then ignition.
Then Zhihe Zhong kept rubbing the small wooden stick in his hand to start the ‘manual operation’ of the simple blower.
Zhihezhong looked at these two sets of high-end, high-grade ‘refining equipment’, and then at the small wooden sticks in his hands that were repeatedly rubbed. He only felt: "???
They are very curious about the new inventions and new operations of the deputy chief, but at the same time they feel very boring and boring about their'new job'.
Not only that, but before leaving, the deputy chief emphasized that he couldn't stop. So the two had to obediently rubbing the small wooden stick in their hands repeatedly.
...
The little old man with the horns on his back, and anxiously circling around Chen Chao, when he looked at the stick that was burned for the first time? stick?
He feels deceived...
Isn’t it a stone axe?
Now one whole...this stick? ? ?
Even after seeing that they have been rubbing the wood for a few days, Zhi and Zhong rub it out? Such a thing?
The two of them are the same head? ? ?
What can this stick do?
The three of them all looked at Chen Chao, who was full of joy, and stopped talking, without knowing how to speak.
In an instant, all three of them had an idea...
The deputy leader... will not be burned stupid by the holy fire...
After all, this suspicion didn't come out of thin air, because the deputy chief had been drilling into places with fire every day in the past few days, doing either this weird thing or that weird thing.
Not only that, but there is often a strange smile on his face...
Then I took so much effort today just to get this stuff out...
Moreover, the torch near the deputy leader is very strange, the temperature is very high...
Although it’s not very close...
This gives them no reason not to doubt...
