Mystery Makes Me Strong

Another twenty years have passed.

Wen Rensheng's tribe has a population of 20,000 people.

"Your Majesty, are you still alive?" Little Wang Beibei ran over and asked.

He was already dead, and reincarnated as a little ape, he came to look for him again.

"En." Wen Rensheng wrote lightly, and then looked at a piece of colored glass, which was translucent and very cloudy, and there was still a lot of room for improvement from real glass.

"Boss, when will you die?"

"Why ask this question?"

"Because I want to be king too."

"Then you're overthinking it." Wen Rensheng said angrily.

Xiao Wang Beibei looked at the glass in his hand resentfully.

"What's the use of making glass? We don't have a place to sell it, and no one buys it. It's more reliable to make cement." Xiao Wang Beibei was obviously flustered.

"With your little wisdom, if you become a great king, the tribe must collapse." Wen Rensheng said contemptuously.

His wisdom made him know early on the importance of glass making to historical nodes.

After all, in this primitive era, the real danger has not yet come.

And he had already planned for those crises.

His physique is the pinnacle of human beings. Although he is not an ape, he can live for at least 150 years.

It's still too early for him to reincarnate.

The average ape can only live up to 50 years.

He doesn't worry about life expectancy.

Then the tribe ran into new problems.

Another tribe of barbarians came to attack.

Ask them to hand over half of the salt and grain.

This is obviously impossible, just start the fight.

After fighting for two years, the barbarian tribes became slaves.

They are not time travelers, they are all real primitive people.

This made the traversers very happy, and quickly evolved the tribal form into slavery.

Who doesn't want to have a few slaves who can work?

Who wants to do housework?

Except cooks, slaves filled every industry.

Farmers, road builders, sweepers, and herders.

And their traversers focus on force.

The entire tribe subconsciously evolved towards the aggressive Spartans.

But Wen Rensheng understands that Sparta is not a stable form.

And just know how to fight, it is easy to lose real power.

Because the other party only needs to come and escape a few times, and his own society will collapse.

So he improved the social form in advance, so that those people still maintain the manpower distribution of the main industries.

For example, agriculture, handicrafts, and commerce must be done manually.

Build granaries, reservoirs, deep cellars.

Explore the terrain around, including building ships and going out to sea to find other landmass.

In short, while making reserves, continue to open the map.

Some people think that it is enough to live a peaceful life, so why bother.

Wen Rensheng has only one evaluation of this kind of person: short-sighted.

ten years later.

Here comes the real crisis.

After arriving, it made everyone tremble.

It's freezing, not scary.

Because this crisis is the Ice Age.

The animals fled one after another and migrated towards the warmer equator.

Better to be hot and dry than cold.

Because if it is hot, it means that there is enough energy.

Once you enter the glacier, you will die, the sun's light will be reflected, and the climate will become colder and colder.

Until the movement of the earth's crust releases a large amount of heat and carbon dioxide, creating a new greenhouse.

And they are already subtropical here.

Not too far from the equator.

Fortunately, Wen Rensheng had already made various preparations.

One is to migrate some people to the equator to see if it is hot enough.

The second is to send another part of the people to settle near an active volcano crater that has been explored.

Although it is necessary to risk the volcanic eruption and be buried as the end of Pompeii, at least it can survive temporarily.

"It's strange, there is still sunlight, how can the earth become cold?" Xiao Wang Beibei asked in confusion.

"Of course it's because there is not enough carbon dioxide, and there are too many green plants, which absorb too much carbon dioxide, which weakens the greenhouse effect and triggers the ice age." Wen Rensheng casually gave a reason.

Of course, this is only a superficial reason. The real reason is the difficulty of making historical nodes, which was copied based on the disasters that occurred in history.

There have also been many ice ages in history, and this is not fiction.

Therefore, it also led to the early demise of the Ming Dynasty.

"Can you live if you go to the volcanic area?" Little Wang Beibei asked.

"There are hot springs in volcanic areas, and crops can be grown where there are hot springs."

"Then how do those of us who stay here live?"

"We can grow mushrooms, cut trees, and use wood to grow mushrooms. There are many plants that freeze to death, enough for us to survive for a hundred years." Wen Rensheng said calmly.

At the same time, those who migrated, the vanguard, released the carrier pigeons.

It's also colder at the equator, if not colder.

I don't know what the reason is.

Their large army stopped and was rushing back.

On the contrary, the active volcano is hotter, and there are many hot springs.

They can survive.

There are still many forests with green shoots, and they let the people of the mother tribe migrate here quickly.

It's just that volcanic activities are frequent, erupting frequently, and thick smoke billowing.

But Wen Rensheng did not move to the vicinity of the volcano, but only built ice roads in the two places.

Transport with sleds and ice tracks.

The wood near the active volcano was transported, as well as some grown vegetables and food.

Temperatures are getting colder and people are starting to live on fuel.

But Wen Rensheng stopped them.

Instead, use the colored glaze stored in the past, excavate the cellar, and build a greenhouse.

Let the people of the tribe live in the underground greenhouse.

Fortunately, in the past few years, everyone has been eating on average and drying the food.

Grains, as well as meats, become extremely dry, the kind that can be stored for 50 years.

Now it's cold again, and the storage time is longer.

Everyone eats very little every day and barely survives.

Wen Rensheng organized people to continue digging the cellar, digging a very deep cellar.

Before the land was too soft, it was impossible to dig too deep for the cellar, and it was easy to see the water.

Now the weather is cold, 20 meters underground are frozen.

Wen Rensheng suspected that it had entered the permafrost.

It is said that in the Arctic Circle, there is permafrost that does not melt all year round.

These permafrost are so strong that they need to be baked with fire to be excavated.

After digging, it is impossible to collapse.

After sprinkled with water, it is an ice wall.

Wen Rensheng uses distilled water to obtain clean and transparent ice to make a greenhouse, and it is a double greenhouse.

The top layer of the cellar is covered with a layer of ice to receive sunlight and ensure that the temperature is close to 0 degrees.

Generally, it can reach minus fifteen degrees.

The second layer is glazed.

The temperature reached in the glazed cellar can reach above 5 degrees.

This temperature is not enough.

He started the fire again, keeping the temperature close to 20 degrees.

In this case, you can cut wood outside and use it to grow mushrooms and grow vegetables.

The trees were frozen to death, but the organic matter remained. The total amount of organic matter in the nearby frozen forest was enough for their small tribe to consume for a thousand years.

Coupled with the greenhouse building, it can ensure that the entire tribe continues to multiply and expand.

In short, they have entered a new positive cycle.

Build a cellar greenhouse, grow mushrooms, vegetables, food, make ice, make glass, continue mining, and preferably find coal mines.

If there were coal mines, there would be no threat of an ice age.

The coal mines of human beings, even the modern industries of later generations, are not clean after hundreds of years, let alone primitive tribes like them.

Basically a coal mine means endless energy.

This requires exploration.

In short, I just search and search, but it's a pity that coal mines are not so easy to find.

This is not the original world, and the terrain is unfamiliar. It is necessary to look for coal mines according to the laws of mineral exposure. It may take hundreds of years to find coal mines.

In reality, people first used coal mines after entering the feudal society.

During the exploration, the prospectors found a group of returning refugees.

They were originally from this tribe.

The reason for leaving the tribe is to dislike Wen Rensheng, to control their waste, not to let them enjoy themselves, and to make them do all kinds of hard work.

Storing food, making glass, and researching technology are all tiring.

It's human nature to do what you need.

Lie down and rest when not needed.

Just like an agricultural society, there is too much labor, and there is no need to invent machines at all.

Labor is so cheap that it is much cheaper than machines.

Then no one will make any inventions.

In the past, these people disliked Wen Rensheng's measures in various ways, disliked him for not letting them rest, and letting them do their jobs.

Some people even rebelled because of this, but were suppressed by Wen Rensheng.

When they failed, they left.

Well now, those who ran away ran back again.

One by one they knelt in the ice and snow, begging Wen Rensheng for forgiveness.

"I'm sorry, sage king, we were wrong, and we only know the wisdom and foresight of the king."

"Okay, come back when you come back, come back and continue working." Wen Rensheng is a person of great wisdom, and of course he will not waste their precious labor because of the past of these people.

So these people also dig the cellar every day, continue to dig, and dig every day.

If you don't want to dig, just go exploring and explore the coal mines.

So does oil.

But oil was not easy to use in the early days.

Because it is a large area when it is burned, and oil and gas are easy to explode, the glass industry and metal technology must reach a certain level to make good use of oil.

The temperature continued to drop.

This reduction has been reduced for hundreds of years.

One tribe after another quietly died out.

Someone discovered the thriving tribe of Wenrensheng.

They're crazy and want to come and plunder and seize their cellar.

Then they were defeated by Wen Rensheng one by one.

The cellar is both a greenhouse and the best fortress.

Just make the ice layer thicker.

He defeated the tribes and said to them, "You can get food, but you have to work in exchange."

Of course he won't kill them all. The population these days is wealth.

How many people there are, how much value can be exerted.

Someone couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, why does the weather keep getting cold even though there is still the sun?"

This is the answer that many people want to know.

Little Wang Beibei, well, he was reincarnated again.

He told everyone Wen Rensheng's answer.

"Since there is a lack of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the greenhouse effect cannot be preserved, when will it be restored?"

"Plants froze to death, animals survived, and the earth's crust moved. Under combustion, carbon dioxide will be produced, and it will recover after equilibrium. This process may take hundreds of thousands of years." Wen Rensheng replied.

"It's so long, can we hold on? Trees are limited after all." Someone worried.

"So we need to find coal. With a large coal mine, let alone hundreds of thousands of years, we can spend millions of years."

"A large coal mine reserve can be as high as 10 billion tons. With the consumption level of our tribe, it is not bad to consume 1,000 tons of coal a year, not to mention that there is sunlight to supplement energy, and coal is mainly used to provide the temperature needed for life. "

After Wen Rensheng's explanation, everyone's enthusiasm for finding coal mines has greatly increased.

If it weren't for Wen Ren's foresight, their tribe would have been frozen to death and extinct, and they would never have survived so easily.

Excluding the people living in the volcanic area, there are now more than 100,000 people living in the original site of the tribe.

Most were slaves or wage workers.

Wen Rensheng's prestige is getting higher and higher.

It can be said that his series of actions have made him a god in people's minds.

As he said, this ice age is very long, and after a full 100 years, there is no sign of ending, but it is getting colder.

Today, a group of barbarians migrated from a distant place.

Just like before, after they saw the prosperity and hope here, they subconsciously wanted to snatch it over and make it their own territory.

However, they were quickly and easily defeated by Wen Rensheng's soldiers.

Then there is the skilled transformation process.

Children were separated and adults were beaten into slavery.

Children are educated and integrated into the tribe.

This has long been a very mature process, and no one will feel troubled at all.

Moreover, this ice age is a great opportunity for them to expand their power and rule the human world.

They didn't need to conquer anything, the cold weather helped them destroy all enemies.

Now they have a population of over 1 million.

This is also a relatively strong country in a feudal society.

It can send 100,000 soldiers, which is a very powerful number.

The war of destroying the country can be carried out. You must know that the Manchu Qing conquered the Ming Dynasty with only 80,000 people.

Everyone gradually discovered that in the Ice Age, there are great opportunities in the crisis.

Instead of resenting the cold crisis, they began to like the cold.

The cold has the added benefit of greatly reducing the chances of infectious disease.

Just an increase in cold and fever.

What was previously unconquerable can now be conquered.

In the hot and humid areas in the past, there were a lot of mosquitoes and flies, which were easy to cause many diseases, which would discourage everyone.

Now it is very simple, just go straight to cut down the trees and build this ice road.

Then you can dig cellars there, build greenhouses, and develop sub-bases.

The most important thing, of course, is to find minerals.

After more than 100 years of exploration, someone finally found the coal mine.

Everyone knows that it is a black stone that can burn in a fire
