Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 135 Preparations before copper smelting (subscription for the first update)

These mercenaries are not ordinary people. The strongest mercenary captain, Valen, even has the low-level strength of silver. This kind of strength is already considered top-notch in some cities on the borders of the southern countries, and the entire mercenary team is not What kind of ordinary mercenary team, if they are only bound with ropes, they can easily break free from the ropes and escape, so a lot of manpower is needed to guard them.

Only a new material, a material that is tougher than rope and suitable for shackles, can reduce the strength of the orcs guarding them.

As for that material, Austin remembered a certain plan of his not long ago, copper smelting!

At the beginning of the conflict with the Blood Claw Tribe branch, it was because of the copper ore vein on the hill near the Blood Claw Tribe. After the Blood Claw Tribe was destroyed, Austin fell into a deep sleep due to his own reasons. The copper smelting work did not start there.

Now that Austin has awakened, all the development of the Dragon Nest Tribe has entered a normal development stage, and the work of copper smelting is naturally included in the future plan.

As long as the copperware is smelted, the entire Dragon Nest Tribe's combat effectiveness and production capacity will be greatly improved, which will have an unparalleled effect on the development of the Dragon Nest Tribe.

The preparations before the winter, the Longchao Tribe has basically completed, and the kudzu root and other food crops in the field are basically harvested. In order to prevent them from being frozen to death, the perennial plants like thorn fruit are covered with thick thatch. All kinds of forage in the livestock pen have also been prepared, enough for the bison and those hares and wild boars in the cowshed to survive the winter. Even if the feed is not enough, the livestock will be slaughtered when they are fat.

As for the destroyed houses in the Dragon Nest Tribe, since the newly made mud bricks had to be dried before they could be fired in the brick furnace, enough materials could not be fired in a while, so they could only come slowly.

It just so happens that the tribe's family members now have a lot of human resources saved, so Austin gathered a large number of people and prepared to refine some copperware before the cold winter.

So under the overall deployment, a large number of orcs carried a large amount of charcoal from the previous Yanta hill, and transported it to the branch of the Blood Claw tribe with bison. A stronghold was established on the Internet, with that stronghold as the center, and it is estimated that future copper smelting work will be carried out there, and that stronghold was also directly named the copper mine stronghold by Austin.

A large amount of charcoal was transported to the copper mine stronghold, and at the same time a large number of orcs were also deployed to the copper mine stronghold, and began to mine a large amount of copper ore in the nearby copper mine mountain range.

It is worth mentioning that those mercenary captives are one of the teams that mine copper ore, and they are still assigned to the dirtiest and most tiring work. They are exhausted every day. Although some mercenaries tried to escape, they were all killed. The dragon nest orcs stopped them, and the team of the one who escaped later suffered a terrible punishment-the black house was shut down collectively!
Tauren Saru, one of the guards, didn't know how it felt to close the small dark room, but every mercenary who walked out of the small dark room was grateful, and worked hard since then, without any sign of laziness .

A large amount of copper ore was mined and piled up into small hills on the side.

At the same time, on the flat ground not far from the stronghold, blast furnaces were built under the guidance of the goblin engineers in the manufacturing workshop.

These blast furnaces vary in size and shape, some are one or two meters long, some are two or three meters long, and there are five in total. They are mainly used for experimentation to see which style is the best, and only after seeing whether it is feasible can the style be truly determined to enter the large scale. mass production stage.

The charcoal, blast furnace, and copper ore used in copper smelting have been prepared, and everything has been prepared. However, when Austin was about to start copper smelting,
cold winter,

It happened again overnight.

The icy water attribute cold current on the vast endless ocean swept across the sky overnight like a tidal tsunami. Suddenly, the entire earth became covered in silver.

"Oh, it's only a short while."

Inside the Dragon's Nest, seeing the vast expanse of snowflakes falling from the outside, and the boundless power of nature where the icy cold current passed by in the distance, the earth turned into azure blue ice, Austin had no choice but to nest in the Dragon's Nest. Inside the nest, waiting for the icy cold to pass.

Being able to turn the originally hot weather into a country of ice and snow overnight, this level of cold current is simply not something that ordinary orcs can resist.

In the first few days of the cold winter, the cold current that freezes the world above the sky will occasionally be swept by the air current and fall to the ground. If any animal is accidentally shrouded in this terrible cold current, it may be frozen into an ice sculpture immediately. Only by hiding in the house with the protection of the house's temperature insulation can we survive the time when the falling cold snap is neutralized by the temperature.

The terrible cold that fell from the sky was called "the colorless god of death who fell from heaven" by these orcs living in the Kawa Great Forest, and some orcs also called it "the angel with broken wings". This kind of cold current is silent and colorless when it falls, and you don't know when it will fall from the sky. When you realize their existence, everything around you has become an ice sculpture, which is hard to guard against and extremely terrifying.

However, although this kind of cold air is terrifying, it basically only exists at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, and the probability of occurrence is not high, and it only exists in the first few days of cold winter.

And with the passage of time, the terrible cold air above the sky will gradually disappear. Although the whole world outside is still icy and snowy, it will no longer be enveloped by those terrible cold air and instantly turn into ice sculptures. horrific sight.

Although the probability of this happening is not high, it exists after all. Austin has no intention of letting his family members sacrifice innocently, not to mention that it is not difficult to climb up for a few days, so he did not take any further actions, only waiting for the cold snap to pass Start smelting copper again.

In the first few days of the cold winter, there was nothing they could do. The orcs basically stayed in the house, and even the military training outside had been cancelled. At most, they were practicing breathing in the house.

Austin was not idle either. Taking advantage of the leisure time these days, he continued to stimulate his body muscles through the current generated by the magic power as before, and at the same time tried to control the powerful magic power that had skyrocketed after he woke up.

Austin doesn't know why he grows so fast, and his growth in a few years is no less than that of an ordinary 30-[-]-year-old young dragon, but one thing is certain is that the electric current he developed stimulates his own growth. , there must be many roles in this.
