Beasts Are Boundless

three days later.

There is good news for the tribe, that is, the Yanfeng tribe, after Zhuo Hao and several elders discussed, decided not to leave, and belonged to the Ye Qiong tribe from now on.

Since then, the Ye Qiong tribe has officially accommodated the third tribe, and the population will soon break through to 2,700, nearly 3,000.

With the addition of fresh blood, the vitality of the tribe is even better.

Because of the previous experience of the Yanghe tribe and the Yutang tribe, Ye Tianlong is already very experienced in tribal reorganization.

So in less than half a day, the Yanfeng tribesmen moved out of the simple tent.

On the second day after the arrival of the Yanfeng tribe, Ye Qiong asked Rongling to start building a wooden house.

After all, Ye Qiong still has this confidence. After this experience, Ye Qiong plans to get more reserve houses. Even if the Yanfeng Tribe really wants to leave, it will not be a loss anyway. Tribes will do.

Although the work efficiency of the clansmen is very high, after all three days, the wooden houses are simple and the outlines have been built. Afterwards, the fine details of the repairs will depend on the clansmen of the Yanfeng tribe. Slowly built, but they can decide what it looks like according to their own preferences or the number of families.

Since the ownership was expressed, the materials and food of the Yanfeng tribe should be confiscated. Ye Tianlong specially arranged for Tang Ying to deal with this matter, and Ye Qiong was pulled over by Tang Ying.

Zhuo Yan looked at the figures of Ye Qiong and Tang Ying, and between his eyebrows, he had acquiesced in the relationship between the two, so he took out a list of supplies and food and handed it to Ye Qiong.

Ye Qiong handed it to Tang Ying. After all, he has no idea or interest in this thing. Now the Ye Qiong tribe is fat and oily, so the materials and food confiscated by the Yanfeng tribe are just a formality. That's it.

What Ye Qiong values ​​most now is people.

If Ye Qiong wants to make a difference before winter comes, he must find a way to expand the population to more than 10,000 people before winter comes.

Only when this population base is reached, can Ye Qiong be able to rapidly develop technology and put theory into practice with the help of various theoretical knowledge in his brain.

It is estimated that the southern city wall will be completed within half a month. With the mass production of giant crossbows and repeating crossbows every month, Ye Qiong is not worried about monsters or crazy crowds attacking the tribe in spring and summer.

But just in case, Ye Qiong was still within the stone city wall, the center of the tribe, and budgeted to build eight watchtowers.

It is higher than the wooden tower built on the ice wall in winter. It is combined with stone and wood to ensure that the tribe is absolutely safe in the central area.

If one day the stone city wall outside is breached, then the city defense construction in the central area will be the last patron saint of the tribesmen.

The weather has been great these days...

Ye Qiong went to the south wall for a walk from time to time, cheering the soldiers on, and doing a little favor by the way.

On the other hand, we are starting to study the steam engine.

This time, Ye Qiong waved his hand and took half of the iron from the Yanfeng tribe to the blacksmith shop, and the other half to his laboratory.

The bearing has been built, and there are still many things that need to be poured by Ye Qiong himself.

After all, Kuang Baichi can make iron. Let him make these things. He doesn't know how to make them. If there were paper money in this world, Ye Qiong could draw them. Unfortunately, papermaking has not yet been invented, and Ye Qiong has not Find the right raw materials.

So Ye Qiong couldn't draw the steam engine and let others help to pour it, so Ye Qiong could only bite the bullet and fiddle with it while researching.

Now what Ye Qiong wants to do is relatively simple, that is, the base of the steam engine, that is, the chassis. Although this thing is simple, it is more expensive...

The coal was burning in the stove Ye Qiong had built. Tang Ying sat in front of the bellows that Ye Qiong had made, twitching the lever of the bellows back and forth.

With plenty of oxygen, coal burns very vigorously!

After boiling the molten iron, Ye Qiong poured the molten iron into a mold made of clay using the oldest pouring method.

"Zizzizi..."

In order to ensure safety, Ye Qiong did not toss the molten iron by himself, but made a drainage device, which was also made of clay, which is very resistant to high temperature.

The advantages of clay soils in this respect are brought into play.

pour molten iron into

Compared with weapons, the base of this steam engine does not require too complicated craftsmanship, as long as it can be strong and durable.

Next, wait patiently for the molten iron to cool, and then it will become a base that is one meter five long and eighty centimeters wide.

Originally, Ye Qiong planned to use wood as the base. After testing the toughness and corrosion resistance of several kinds of wood, he decided to give up.

However, it is necessary to make a larger wooden base, and put the poured iron base on it, so that the steam engine will be more stable after it is running.

After all, it is a piston movement. If the base is not stable enough, even if the steam engine is pulled out by Ye Qiong, it will not be around for a few days, and it is estimated that it will be ruined.

So the base is like the foundation for building a house. Within a reasonable range, the more stable the better.

Divide the entire Yanfeng tribe and half of the excess iron to himself, Ye Qiong is now...

That's how a base came out.

Although I still think that although I can catch up with the construction period of the steam engine, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!

Without iron, there is no way to proceed, Ye Qiong can only dream of finding an iron ore quickly.

But having said that, compared to coal mines, iron ore is much more difficult to find and the degree of mining, and even if it is mined, it must continue to be refined.

So it is very troublesome. The current iron tools on Xue Xing are all obtained by human beings in some corners and corners for millions of years, and then gradually accumulated to the present, back and forth, repeatedly used, That's it.

Barely able to meet human daily life and weapon manufacturing, as for the development of technology...

It is still necessary to fundamentally solve the problem and find a large iron mine, which is the kingly way.

At night, the molten iron cooled down completely, and the base of the steam engine was completely completed. What made Ye Qiong more gratified was that because the gravity of Xuexing was relatively large, the surface formed after the molten iron melted would not have bubbles or blemishes. waveform.

The surface is flat and adds a lot of stability.

Ye Qiong asked Tang Ying to help, and the two of them buckled the already poured base from the clay soil, then lifted it out, stood at the door, and continued to weather it.

The work on the base was finally completed. It was a little late, and the blue mother star could no longer be seen when looking up. Ye Qiong looked at the base standing at the door, clapped his hands, rubbed his body a few times, and then pulled Tang Ying's Little hand, heading towards his cabin...
