wild trail

Chapter 284 Wang Lang's usual trick

With a safe area, the craftsmen began to cut down the surrounding trees. The trees in this savannah are all trees with open canopies, and each tree is far away from each other, scattered scattered on this grassland.

Although this kind of tree is not suitable as a fence, the wood brought by everyone is only enough for building a house, and the subsequent building materials will be slowly transported here.

While some people were cutting wood, another group of craftsmen started to burn distilled water. Since all they brought this time were charcoal, even though there were few trees here, with these charcoals, it can be said that the fuel is very sufficient.

Half a month later, a simple semi-circular wall was built on the coast, and inside the wall, wooden houses rose from the ground.

The appearance of the building has made people who are far away from civilized society find a sense of familiarity. They know that they may be here for a long time in the future. In order to make their lives more comfortable, everyone has given 100% passion into the work.

With shelter from the wind and rain, Mufeng began to study how to build this HNA.

Inside the small wooden house, Mufeng spread out a roll of animal skins. This is the design drawing of the harbor drawn by Wang Lang. After all, Wang Lang is not omniscient. There is still some gap between this design drawing and the actual situation. Impossible.

Mu Feng looked at the curved coastline, compared with the design drawing, and drew his own thoughts on a new animal skin.

While Mufeng was busy building the harbor, in Yancheng, the expedition team who went out to search for iron ore brought their discoveries. The expedition team had been searching outside for more than half a year, and they had gone a long way without finding anything, but after they decided to On the way to give up and walk back, good luck patronized them.

In the distance from Yancheng, that is, near the cliff in front of the fruit forest, the expedition team found iron ore, and there seemed to be a lot of it.

Wang Lang knew about that cliff. The location of the iron mine in such a place greatly increases the difficulty of mining. Not to mention the complicated terrain, just thinking about the poisonous insects living there makes one's scalp tingle.

But the iron mine is so close, it is really difficult to make Wang Lang give up the idea of ​​mining.

The blast furnace has been built, so many preparations have been made, and now the iron mine has also been discovered. If a few disgusting bugs make the plan difficult, he feels that he has created this world in this wild world for nothing.

In order to make up for the shortage of soldiers, Wang Lang ordered the Ministry of War to recruit new soldiers from the countrymen. These soldiers do not need to undergo strict battle training, they only need to know how to obey orders and know how to use weapons to be considered qualified.

After a month of hasty training, the newly established hunting camp was fully armed and charged towards the cliff.

To deal with these disgusting bugs, weapon attacks are not very effective, so Wang Lang decided to use the incomparably skillful method he came to this world to deal with these things.

To ask which company is better at setting fire, Manhuang Daxia approached Wang Lang. For the sake of setting fire this time, as the emperor of Daxia Kingdom, he was also cruel this time, and transferred [-] catties of high-grade liquor from the Ministry of Households as fuel for setting fire.

After the soldiers arrived at the fruit forest along the road in the forest, they rested here for one night. At dawn the next day, hundreds of jars of liquor were sent to the vicinity of the cliff.

In order to prevent the fire from spreading into the forest, the soldiers used bronze daggers to cut off all the vines on the edge of the cliff before setting the fire on.

Whenever a thick vine slips down, there will be a "squeak" sound from the thick vine, which will cause a commotion among the poisonous insects.

After two days of cutting off all the vines on the side of the cliff, the arson operation officially began.

A large amount of liquor poured down along the cliff, and a strong aroma of liquor suddenly appeared in the air, which attracted the soldiers who were fond of liquor to swallow their saliva.

But at this time, no one dared to take a few sips secretly. For people like them with low alcohol consumption, one sip of this kind of alcohol can knock them down.

After pouring about three hundred catties of liquor in a row, the officers of the hunting camp began to order the fire.

As the torches were thrown down, the alcohol was instantly ignited, and the hot high temperature detonated the volatilized alcohol gas, making a muffled bang.

The bottom of the cliff instantly seemed like purgatory, with light blue flames flying everywhere.

Under the action of alcohol as a combustion accelerant, the fire rapidly expanded, and the poisonous insects hidden in the vines also felt that their doom was approaching.

A large number of poisonous insects screamed piercingly, and quickly crawled away from the flame, but the speed of the fire spreading was extremely fast, and a large number of poisonous insects were burned to death in a very short period of time.

These poisonous insects burst and crackled under the burning of the flames, and the air was mixed with the smell of alcohol and even a faint smell of barbecue.

The smell made people sick, and the unbearable soldiers retreated quickly, until the smell was completely gone when they retreated to the orchard.

A day later, when the army arrived at the cliff again, the scene here was already very different from before. The cliff became bare, and the ashes of burning vines adhered to the cliff, making the whole cliff look as if it had been used The black dye is generally dyed, and there is not a single bug on the cliff.

Seeing that the effect of the fire was surprisingly good, the soldiers did the same thing again, transporting the remaining liquor to the opposite side along the single-plank bridge, and set a fire on the opposite side according to yesterday's method.

A day later, after confirming that both sides were burnt out, they went back and reported to Wang Lang.

After Wang Lang learned about the arson, he couldn't help admiring his genius idea.

This action killed a large number of poisonous insects. After eliminating hidden dangers, he immediately ordered the Ministry of Households to conscript civilians to mine iron ore, and ordered the hunting camp to wipe out the beasts there. All beasts larger than the size of the calf were within the scope of execution.

Wang Lang's practice of species extinction has been regarded as the truth by Xia people for a long time, until thousands of years later, with the gradual improvement of people's wisdom, later generations of experts began to criticize this. People who have been regarded as gods in history, in their eyes, Wang Lang's practice is inhumane, the behavior of a butcher and a tyrant, and has greatly affected the diversity of species.

Regardless of the evaluation of later generations, Wang Lang at this time is waiting with great anticipation for the successful mining of the first batch of iron ore.

With iron ore and steel produced, Xia Guo's weapon level can be on par with that unknown dinosaur civilization. How to make human civilization continue is what he cares most about at the moment.
