Chapter 428: Rock salt mine

"Ugh……"
Ye Xi baby touched the kaolin clay in his hands with his fingers, and suddenly sighed deeply.
Although he is now anxious and can't wait to build up ten thousand stone houses now, but the steps that should be completed have to be completed. The nine-story platform rises from the tired soil, and can't build a house in one step, and can't be fat with one bite.
Ye Xi found the people and began to give orders one after another, assigning work orderly.
"Pingyao, you let Chief Shishi lead the way, and immediately lead a hunting team to mine this kind of clay block in large quantities. Let the mining of blue rock be put away first."
"Chief Nest, you lead another hunting team to mine limestone."
"Chief Craftsman, you help select twenty excellent craftsmen, and you will come with me later."
The three stunned and responded in unison: "Yes!!"
The two thousand-man hunting brigade was quickly cleaned up and set off in a mighty manner.
Twenty pottery craftsmen were also quickly found. Ye Xi nodded at them and led them hurriedly to the cave.

Although all the materials are available, in this prehistoric era, it is still not easy to make cement.
The first problem is that all the excavated limestone blocks and kaolinite clay blocks have to be ground into fine powder.
Ye Xi asked everyone what they would do if they were to grind the stones into powder. The answer was that they would smash them with a hard big rock first, and then crush them one by one after smashing them into broken stones. .
Obviously, this method is cumbersome and time-consuming, and there will be small stones mixed together if you are not paying attention. It is not easy to pick out, and it will be very troublesome in the later stage.
So Ye Xi led the pottery craftsmen and asked them to make ten improved versions of the big stones according to the drawings.
Grinding powder with stones is definitely much more efficient than smashing with rocks, and it is more labor-saving, even the stronger children can help.
It is not enough to have stones to grind flour. Humans are not machines, and it is inevitable that they will accidentally leave ungrinded hard pieces. So Ye Xi led the clever woman and made a few big sieves with fine rattan soaked in oil. After everyone grinds the stone powder, sift it carefully with a fine sieve to make sure that no small stones are mixed in it.
After the powder is crushed and sieved.
Ye Xi evenly mixed limestone powder, clay powder, and iron ore powder in proportions of eight tenths, two tenths, and one percent.
I have to mention another sentence here. In fact, iron ore powder should be the hardest to find, but Ye Xi and the others are very lucky. The main component of the large meteorite hidden by the Zy tribe is iron, which is needed to make cement. The amount of powder is very small, so it is enough.
After the three materials are mixed, what is made is called cement raw meal, which must be calcined.
A kiln is necessary for calcination, and cement is not ceramic. Ordinary kilns do not work. So Ye Xi racked his brains and the pottery craftsmen took two days to toss out the original manual rotary kiln.
A few days later, after waiting for the laborious work of the human rotary kiln, after everyone calcined the cement raw material to mature material, Ye Xi suddenly slapped his forehead and said with great regret: "...oh, forgot to find plaster!"
Cement clinker must be finely ground together with gypsum, and the real cement will be made after being mixed in proportion.
Without plaster, he didn't know what the cement was like.
Everyone was taken aback by Ye Xi's appearance.
Ye Xi has always been calm, unpredictable and omnipotent in everyone's impression, even when the meteor shower comes, she will be calm. Suddenly showing such an annoyed look, everyone couldn't help feeling anxious and anxious.
Although none of them knew what plaster was...
Seeing that everyone was panicked, Ye Xi didn't dare to show any annoyance. He reluctantly picked up a confident look and smiled to appease everyone.
But after returning to the cave, he was still anxious.
After tossing for so many days, seeing the door can be completed with one kick, but he is delayed here, how could he not be in a hurry...
Although he was no longer visible on his face, his body was very honest. Two shining small singe bubbles grew near his mouth overnight, and he was dragged away by the sharp-eyed medical witch jumping to the feet for treatment.
In fact, the reason why Ye Xi is so anxious is that, besides the coming of the winter, is also because he cares about the people of the Xia tribe. The Xia tribe was too weak, and Ye Xi couldn't feel at ease. Originally, he wanted to wait for the construction of this place to get on track, and immediately set off to take over all the Xia tribesmen.
But seeing that it was holding back...
In fact, this is no wonder Ye Xi.
Because of the way the cement is made, Ye Xi accidentally heard it from a home improvement worker in his previous life. It is amazing to remember so many after so many years. It is normal to miss a plaster.
Fortunately, Ye Xi didn't rush for long.
Things quickly turned around.
On the second day, Ye Xi suddenly remembered that he had heard a tribe say that there was a huge rock salt mine about twenty miles away.
There are endless natural rock salt in that rock salt mine, which was accidentally discovered by a small tribe a hundred years ago. This small tribe developed rock salt mines into mine caves, slowly developed by relying on rock salt, and finally changed its name to Youxian tribe.
Originally, relying on this huge wealth ~EbookFREE.me~, the salty tribe could develop steadily, but unfortunately, they encountered a powerful monster more than ten years ago.
The fierce creature was addicted to salty, and was very satisfied with the salt mines of the salty tribes, and drove away the salty tribes arrogantly and occupied this big mine.
The Xian tribe couldn't beat it, but later moved, and there is no more news.
Ye Xi has been keeping this rock salt mine in his heart since he heard the tribe people say this.
Because the hunting team has never found salt-alkali land or natural salt producing areas such as salt lake and salt springs when hunting outside, Ye Xi plans to wait for the cement matter to be settled, and then free up his hands to solve the murderous object and remove the rock salt mine. Occupy it.
But now he was in short supply of gypsum, suddenly he thought that there is gypsum in the companion creature of rock salt!
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately led all the five-level fighters of the Alliance, riding the three vicious birds, the big buzzard, sunny and heavy snow, to the rock salt mine, and finally joined forces to kill the vicious creature.
This huge rock salt mine is magnificent.
People from the salty tribe mine this rock salt mine from the bottom of the mountain like digging a cave. Step inside, the scarlet beautiful rock salt is inlaid on the cave wall and ceiling like pink crystals, and the cave is filled with sunlight. With a magnificent crimson light.
At that time, Chief Qianqi and Chief Gongtao opened their mouths, completely stunned.
Ye Xi was also a little dazed, and murmured, "...It's really posted."
This kind of natural rock salt is ten times more expensive than ordinary table salt in the previous life, and the rock salt with such a good quality and so transparent may be even more expensive. The most important thing is that the amount of rock salt here is so large that people in the entire alliance can eat it. I can't finish it in a few lifetimes!
