Chapter 276 Hexi Unification

The crow picked up a star fragment at his feet. It was only half the size of a palm. It was in the shape of a flat cone with a sharp end and a wide end. The whole body was as black as ink.

The heat generated by friction with the air and impact with the ground has not dissipated, making it a little hot to hold.

He tried to use this piece of star fragment to chisel into the rock wall. He hardly used any force and just knocked it lightly, and he easily chiseled off a large piece of rock.

What a hard star!
This should be the legendary star core.

The crow couldn't help but think of the knives gifted to the tribe by the sky. Those knives were also very hard and sharper. They were used for work and were far more efficient than stone tools!
Those knives may have been polished from star cores in the sky, and then thrown down to the believers on the ground...

His experience on the grassland made him well aware of the properties of various stones. He knew that the harder the stone, the harder it was to polish it into shape. For a stone as hard as the star core, only the sky could handle it.

Thinking of this, he became more and more in awe of the sky
At this time, the star people yelled from outside the cave: "Stop it! The falling stars belong to the Star Tribe. No one is allowed to pick them up without the permission of the priest!"

Upon hearing this, Crow quickly put the star core fragments into the folds of his coat.

It is absolutely impossible to hand over what you get.

In his opinion, this is a gift from the sky to believers. As a devout believer in the sky, he should take it into his pocket.

The meteor shower stopped in an instant.

The four people walked out of the cave, looked up at the sky, and prayed to the sky.

……

Wolf Boy and his party reported the incident while praying, and Zhang Tian told Lin Yu the content of their prayers.

"...That's what happened. It seems that this meteorite must have exploded in the air and failed to hit the ground to form a crater. This means that it is not large enough and its diameter is estimated to be no more than 20 meters."

During the fall of meteorites, the speed is usually more than 10 kilometers per second. Due to the existence of the atmosphere, the meteorites falling at high speed squeeze the air, forming a huge pressure difference. Coupled with the high temperature generated by the friction between the meteorites and the air, the result is approximately A disintegration phenomenon of collapse, this is meteorite airburst.

A meteorite that is not large enough cannot reach the ground at all, and can only turn into a meteor in the scorching atmosphere and disappear in a flash.

An iron meteorite with a diameter of 10 meters will generally explode at an altitude of 20 kilometers away from the earth's surface, with almost no impact on the ecology of the earth's surface.

When the meteorite exceeds a certain size, such as the famous Tunguska explosion, it was caused by an air explosion of a meteorite about 100 meters in diameter near the earth's surface. Its power is equivalent to the simultaneous detonation of 300 Hiroshima atomic bombs within 20 kilometers. Buildings were instantly razed to the ground, and strong earthquakes were felt within 60 kilometers.

Lin Yu was a little surprised: "You seem to know a lot about meteorites?"

Zhang Tian smiled and said: "I have a friend. He is a meteorite hunter. He is a person who specializes in looking for meteorites and makes money by selling meteorites."

"In 17, a meteorite with a diameter of about 10 meters fell in Xishuangbanna. After the air explosion, it formed a meteorite dozens of kilometers long. At that time, almost all meteorite hunters in the country pounced on it like hyenas."

"Of course, including my friend, he is now a multi-millionaire."

There is no national law in the world that stipulates the ownership of meteorites. The finder is obliged to donate 20% of the meteorites to academic institutions for research free of charge; the remaining parts will be registered by the relevant departments and analyzed for rarity, and then they can be obtained. For sale on the market.

A meteorite with a diameter of 10 meters generally weighs about 5000 tons, and good quality meteorites can be sold for 2000 yuan per gram. Some rare high-end meteorites can even be sold for 1000 times the price of gold!
Zhang Tian also hung out with that buddy for a while, wandering in forests, Gobi and deserts, looking for the whereabouts of meteorites.

The group broke up after graduation, and Zhang Tian went to the big game company 996. The poor guy still insisted on being on the front line of meteor hunting. Unexpectedly, three months after graduation, the Xishuangbanna meteorite incident happened, and then the company took off.

After all, he had no chance of getting rich overnight.

However, during this process, I accumulated a lot of knowledge about meteorites, but I didn't expect that it would come in handy at this time.

"You have a lot of experience!" Lin Yu couldn't help but be impressed and gained a new understanding of him.

"Otherwise, where do you think I learned my knowledge of the wild?"

"You are also amazing. You can participate in so many outdoor activities during college and still take care of your studies..."

"Hi! So people shouldn't be too greedy. I just wanted to take care of both ends, but in the end I failed at both ends. If I were as focused and persistent as my buddy, I might have achieved financial freedom long ago."

Zhang Tian sighed with emotion, if he had persisted for three more months, who would have gone to the gaming industry?Now we won’t fall into the same situation as the savages... This is fate!

With the witness testimony of Wolf Boy and others, it is now 100% certain that the Black Stone is in the hands of the Star Priest.

The meteorite summoned by the star priest using the power of the black stone is estimated to be similar in size to what Wolf Boy and others witnessed today. The fragments dropped after the meteorite is air-blasted can be used directly if the shape and size are suitable. This is purely a stone at the beginning, and it is fully equipped. Just pick it up!

Zhang and Lin were chatting when they suddenly heard a commotion in the distance.

The two of them looked at the sound and saw silhouettes of people at the end of the field. Someone shouted: "The guests are here!"

The chiefs of various tribes in Hexi and their tribesmen arrived as promised. They walked briskly, impatient and a little nervous, like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law for the first time.

Everyone was surprised until they stepped into this land!
A group of international students could not believe their eyes. In less than a year, Taoyuan had completely changed!
The first place they arrived was the pottery area.

The hillside where the Dragon Kiln is located was originally far away from residential areas. Now, the land at the foot of the mountain has been cleared and new houses have been built. Houses, warehouses, toilets, bathhouses, breeding centers... everything is available, including artificially dug water channels. It flows through it and provides water convenience to the potters who live here.

Walking towards the center of the camp, you pass by the linen spinning area and the breeding farm... The work areas in the past have now become living areas. People are scattered to live in various living areas according to the types of work they are good at. The arrangement of the buildings looks well-organized. The roads are also much wider and cleaner.

What surprised the international students the most was the widening of the Harvest Canal.When they left, the Harvest Canal had been severely clogged due to not being cleaned for many years, and it basically lost its ability to sail boats. Now it is more than enough for three or four boats to sail in parallel!

They also dug out many tributaries that extended to the fields and ridges to connect the scattered living areas.It is the harvest season, and people transport the cut ears of grain to the threshing floor by boat. Boats come and go in the canal, creating a busy scene.

The life of Taoyuan people is really different every day!

The chiefs of each tribe were even more shocked than the foreign students. They had just arrived and had only heard some anecdotes from the tribesmen. But after seeing it with their own eyes, they realized that life in Taoyuan was not only rich, but also more comfortable and convenient than they imagined!

"Then, is that a gourd?"

someone exclaimed.

Da Wa, the chief of the Calabash Tribe, was also amazed when he saw the bamboo frame, the gourd vines wrapped around it and the fat gourd hanging from it.

He clearly remembered that the Sky Clan did not have gourds, so why did they suddenly grow so many?

He touched the gourd on his waist and his heart dropped.It's over now. After pottery, gourds will also depreciate...

Everyone looked around curiously, thinking that no wonder the international students were so hyped when they came back. If it were them, they would only boast even more!
I want to build my own tribe like this in the future... Looking at everything in front of them, the chiefs of each tribe had the same idea.

Just like this, we stopped and looked around, and slowly came to where the Sky Priest and the Wizard were. The chiefs of each tribe greeted the host in turn, presented gifts, and then took out the various stones they collected and applied for exchange.

Zhang and Lin carefully identified the stones brought by each tribe. A dark green stone with a glass luster attracted their attention.

malachite!
Malachite is produced on the surface or near the surface of copper mines and coexists with cuprite, azurite, covellite, etc. It is an important marker mineral for finding primary copper mines.

Zhang Tian picked up the malachite and asked Da Wa: "Where did you pick up this stone? Do you still have any impressions of it?"

Da Wa turned to ask his tribesmen, and someone said: "This stone was picked up by a cane, he should know."

Zhang Tian hurriedly asked: "Who is Teng Tiao?"

"The man with the gourd hanging from his crotch."

Zhang Tian glanced around subconsciously and frowned: "I didn't see anyone with a gourd hanging on their crotch."

"He didn't come this time."

"..."

Zhang Tian's fist became hard.I fell into the same trap twice!Very angry!
However, at least we know that there are copper mines on the Gourd tribe's territory. It won't be too late to wait until next spring to find the rattan with the gourd hanging on the crotch and ask for more information.

Da Wa is more concerned about his gourd: "Are you still exchanging gourds?"

Zhang Tian smiled and said: "As you can see, we have already planted gourds."

Dawa held the unsalable gourd and sighed.

Zhang Tian then said: "Are you here to form an alliance with us?"

Da Wa nodded in agreement.

"After forming an alliance, we are members of the same tribe. Do we still need to exchange things between tribesmen? What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours."

Dawa's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "So there is no need to exchange in the future. If we need pottery, you will give it to us?"

Zhang Tian shook his head and said: "Teaching you how to fish is better than giving you fish directly, isn't it? If you want pottery, I can teach you how to make pottery. If you want linen, I can teach you how to weave... …Similarly, when we need help, you should give us your full support. This is what alliances are about.”

"Of course! From now on, we can give you all our gourds! As long as you say a word!"

Zhang Tian smiled and said nothing, thinking to himself, are those broken gourds of yours what I am interested in?There is no free lunch in the world!
Da Wa was so happy that she kept urging: "Then what are you waiting for! Get married quickly!"

"What's the hurry!" The other chiefs were unhappy, "We haven't said hello to the priest and wizard yet!"

"Okay, okay! Hurry up!"

Da Wa stepped aside and circled around Zhang Tian and Lin Yu, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Zhang and Lin continued to meet with the chiefs of various tribes, and discovered limestone among the stones brought by the Dayan Tribe, the Giant Turtle Tribe, and the Taoshi Tribe.

Copper mines and limestone mines naturally give priority to copper mines. Limestone is mainly used as a building material. The impact of copper involves all aspects and will bring about a substantial increase in productivity!

Once the copper was hammered out, mining the limestone was much simpler.

It seems that this winter, I will go to that saltwater cave to become a saltwater boiler.

Zhang Tian suddenly remembered that the crow mentioned a translucent shell in his prayer, so he asked the chiefs: "Have you ever heard of a shell called 'Moon in the Water'?"

He remembered the last autumn gathering. There seemed to be no such thing in the shells brought by the river.

"I have one! I heard that this kind of shell is very rare in the Star Tribe, hehe..."

Turtle Shell, the chief of the giant turtle tribe, was proud of himself. He took a round shell from his waist and handed it to the sky priest.He is a fan of all kinds of shells. When the Ship Tribe brought back this kind of shells, he was immediately fascinated by them and paid a high price to exchange them for them.

Lin Yu came over to take a look and muttered: "Isn't this Haiyue..."

The moon clam is an ancient marine creature. Their shells are large, flat, and have very thin shells. The outer shell surface has fine radial patterns and growth patterns, while the inner shell surface is almost smooth, so as long as the outer surface is slightly After polishing, the shell of the moon clam will become translucent like a lens.

Due to this characteristic, the shell of the moon clam has been used as a substitute for glass for thousands of years both at home and abroad.

The so-called "jade in the sea, earth, flesh and stone", although modern society is already dominated by industrial glass, the ancient "li shell window" or "oyster" can still be seen in some Suzhou gardens and some ancient garden buildings in Lingnan. Shell window".

After listening to Lin Yu's explanation, Zhang Tian felt that he was a little more knowledgeable today than yesterday. He returned the sea moon shell to the tortoise shell, then stood up and said loudly under the gaze of the big baby:

"We will conduct the alliance ceremony now. Does anyone have any objections?"

"no!"

All the chiefs spoke in unison. They had no opinions, only eagerness. This was exactly why they came.

So Zhang Tian led everyone to the Temple of Heaven. Under the witness of the sky, a group of chiefs made an alliance with blood and threw bowls as an oath.

From then on, there were no longer any tribes in Hexi, only the Sky clan. Everyone was the people of Sky and members of the same clan.

The so-called attacking the army is the next step to attack the cross, followed by the attacking the soldiers, and the next step is to attack the city.

There is really no need to go to war against primitive people. As long as they unify their beliefs and culture, they will essentially rule the entire region.Isn't this much simpler than leading a group of barbarians to fight around with sticks and stone axes?
Moreover, the centripetal force of a group united by faith and culture is much stronger than that united by force!

Zhang Tian held a banquet and entertained the guests from afar to celebrate this historic moment.
