Beasts Are Boundless

Under the night sky, the tribe was quiet and peaceful.

Ye Qiong stayed in his snow cave, still sorting out the soil samples. After these samples were numbered, they were placed neatly.

In the absence of modern equipment, Ye Qiong made several relatively simple conduit testers, and then diluted the soil samples with water. The soil with high mineral content, because of its high density, sinks quickly, and passes through the filter screen. Some small particles can be filtered out.

These are all soil methods. Most of them rely on Ye Qiong to detect soil quality through the naked eye and experience, which consumes a lot of energy. Because the soldiers brought back a lot of samples, Ye Qiong can only analyze it bit by bit. If you do, you will miss some rare mineral resources.

Right now, Ye Qiong's priority is iron ore and coal mine.

The importance of iron ore is unquestionable. The weapons in the tribe need high-quality iron ore to refine, especially the giant crossbow, which consumes a lot of iron. The crossbow body, giant arrows, and gears all consume a lot of iron. of iron.

Coal mines are the resources Ye Qiong is looking for the most. As long as coal mines are found, even if the tribe has obtained new energy, it will have a huge boost to the improvement of the tribe's overall strength.

After studying the soil quality for two days, Ye Qiong marked the soil quality that may contain iron ore and coal mines. There are three locations in total. From the perspective of content, the possibility is higher.

In the past two days of research, Ye Qiong still has other achievements, that is, he found a sample with relatively fertile soil, and marked the sample separately. After the spring of next year, Ye Qiong is going to try to see if he can grow something. .

Ye Qiong has collected a lot of edible fruit tree seeds in the past two years. In the past, these seeds were useless when migrating, because it would take at least two years from the time they were planted to the time that this thing could grow fruit.

The two years on Xue Xing are forty-eight months...

If the seeds are planted during the migration, it is for the benefit of the latecomers.

Now that he has decided to settle down and develop, Ye Qiong must let the tribe enter the most primitive farming era in the shortest possible time.

If you can find crops like corn and barley that can be harvested within a few months, that would be great. After all, the long eighteen months of winter will not give any crops life, but only in the beginning of spring. Sow seeds and harvest before fall.

As for Ye Qiong's imminent lime, there is still no clue. The good news is that Ye Qiong has found a soil that is very viscous. It seems that it can be temporarily used as a substitute for lime. If a volcano can be found in the future, it will be replaced.

Three days later, Ye Qiong personally led a team of 20 people and embarked on the road of collecting clay soil. After two days and one night of raiding, they came to the location of soil collection.

This is a small hillside, backed by the Dinglong Mountains, a river. With the arrival of winter, the upstream water source is depleted, and this will become a dry river.

After Ye Qiong arrived, he was pleasantly surprised to find a lot of sand. If you are lucky, there is a good chance that this kind of river will produce gold!

Although gold has no effect on this planet for the time being, and for humans, it is not even useful for burning wood for heating, but Ye Qiong knows very well how useful gold is!

It can be said that it is the core strength of technology. Gold has been used as currency since ancient times on the earth of Ye Qiong's last life. The advent of the age of technology has shown the true role of gold, that is, CPU!

As a very stable metal, the link between the wafer and the plate must be made of gold. In the era of technology when Ye Qiong lived, there was no substitute!

Although gold is found now, for Ye Qiong and the entire Xue Xing, there is no bird use, but it must be stored. Its unique stability allows Ye Qiong to play an auxiliary role when doing research later. On both sides of the river, the content of clay soil is very high. Ye Qiong arranged for half of the people to collect clay soil and the other half to collect sand. He himself, who is more interested in gold, took Duan along the river. Upstairs went up.

There is an idiom called the big waves wash the sand.

What is the purpose of scouring the sand?

Find gold!

Why is there gold in the river?

In fact, the reason is very simple, because gold is a very stable substance and will not react chemically with other substances. Many stones contain trace amounts of gold. These stones will crack into sand and gravel under long-term weathering. , and the metal elements will agglomerate into small granular sands.

After countless years, the baptism of heavy rains and storms, and the convergence of rivers, the water will alluvial the golden sands together. These golden sands of different sizes will slowly sink with the river and then be buried in the ground.

As the saying goes, water produces gold, which is the truth.

Ye Qiong took Duan and quickly ran a long way. After groping all the way up, he found that there was indeed gold in this river!

But the content is not much, sparse, Ye Qiong has been digging with his bare hands for a long time, and together with it, because there is no filter, only some very fine sands can be found.

This discovery made Ye Qiong very excited. There are golden sands in the river, which proves that there are gold mines in the upstream area. It seems that Ye Qiong must make plans as soon as possible. If other tribes occupy it, there will be other troubles.

How to occupy is a problem, how to protect is a problem, how to mine is also a problem, how to use is an ultimate problem.

These questions made Ye Qiong have a headache thinking about it, and he answered that sentence...

The heart has the ambition of Honghu, and there is no one available around!

It seems that we need to find a way to cultivate talents as soon as possible.

After walking around for a while, Ye Qiong came back with Duo Dian with no end in sight. Duan's bear claws were already dark. After rubbing it in the snow and rolling a few times, it was finally carried. Ye Qiong returned to the team.

This time, two carriages were brought out. The soldiers had already packed the two carriages to the fullest. Ye Qiong looked at the sky and decided to go back.

Now that there is clay and sand, Ye Qiong needs to continue to study the matching ratio. After reaching a similar level, he will lead the clan to do great things!

Build stone walls!

Now the area of ​​the tribe is less than one square kilometer, about the size of a dozen football fields together.

More than a thousand people crammed into such a large place.

Now that the stone city wall is being built, it is necessary to convene the elders to discuss it, and Ye Qiong also has a plan in his mind, and has made three construction plans.
