I became a planet

Chapter 123 What's Up With You (Fifth Watch, Please Subscribe!)
Guo Sen is very familiar with ore.

Meteorite, an ore with a very small reserve on the earth, is actually not unusual to appear on his sphere now.

After all, he had also experienced countless meteorite bombardments in ancient times. It is not uncommon for meteorites to exist, just like the gold on the armored orcs' side, they are quite abundant.

What is strange is that the White Wolf Clan didn't use the pile of malachite he had piled up not far from the tribe at that time, but skipped it directly and mastered the craft of smelting meteorite.

This is really...

can not understand.

what is this?
A big jump in smelting technology?
Meteorite is an ore that is gradually formed over a long period of time after the fall of meteorites with extremely high iron content. Compared with iron ore that is unevenly distributed in the earth's crust, this is indeed a kind of iron ore that can be smelted easily. thing.

However, this is a process that should only appear after the copper smelting process is relatively mature.

Guo Sen thought, could it be that the White Wolf tribe accidentally discovered this area with a high content of meteoric iron when they were smelting copper?Or did they not smelt copper at all?

With doubts, he simply checked the ore content and distribution of the nearby strata, and found a nearby meteorite ore layer that occupied a large area.

This ore layer is roughly located in a huge crater whose outline is almost invisible.

And on a piece of black gravel in this pit, hundreds of white creatures are working non-stop.

They were holding metal tools and banging on the rock surface, making ping-pong-pong sounds from time to time.

There is no doubt that it is the white wolf group.

Guo Sen didn't watch the scene of the hunting white wolves cutting up the animal meat, but shifted his focus to the mining group here.

They are obviously more interesting than those fighting madmen.

After all, last time, Guo Sen only saw all kinds of battle-related things displayed by the white wolves, and almost nothing else.

Now that they are able to mine, it shows that civilization has taken a big step forward.

Guo Sen drew his gaze closer.

He wanted to take a good look at how this group of guys who didn't even know what minerals were mining.

However, the scene in front of him made him not know how to complain.

The white wolves just collected the open-pit ore that was broken into pieces, and then smashed them one by one with a homemade hammer;

After putting these ores into bags stretched out of animal skins, some strong tribesmen carried them on their backs and transported them to a small river not too far from here.

By the side of the slow flowing river, which was only one meter deep, Guo Sen saw a raft made of several wooden stakes, with an animal skin swaying in the wind.

The thin and huge animal skin was hung between two erected thin wooden stakes and was taut. With the wind blowing, it couldn't help but bulge.

This seems to be an extremely crude and primitive sail!
The miners of the White Wolf clan put the leather bags on the raft and pushed it into the water;

Some of them returned to the mine, while the others followed the raft downstream on the river bank.

Emmmm......

How should this be evaluated?
Mining technology is almost non-existent.

If picking up gravel from the ground counts as mining, it is indeed a bit.

The way of transportation?
Purely artificial.

Looking at the expressions of the white wolves carrying the ore, all grinning, they really looked tired enough.

But they were able to make rafts, and even researched things like "sails", which showed a certain amount of wisdom.

This is a civilization that is both primitive and has some advanced consciousness, so Guo Sen really doesn't understand it.

The White Wolf Clan is indeed a civilization that allows him to see unexpected things all the time.

This can be seen from the fact that their advanced tribe was almost wiped out by the black wolf tribe.

But since the ore is flowing down the river, it is estimated that their smelter is also in the lower reaches of the river.

Guo Sen's line of sight gradually moved forward along with the small river.

Gray clay is spread between the ocher-red square bricks, and they are accumulated layer by layer, outlining a tall, almost circular wall.

And within the wall, there were tinkling sounds non-stop.

Guo Sen held back the desire to complain, and continued to look inside.

The blast furnace is extremely simple, yes, it is similar to the one he saw in the dwarf tribe 300 years ago, it is still made of clay, and it is the kind of disposable blast furnace that is pushed when it is used up.

The werewolves stuffed a large amount of charcoal into it, threw firewood into it, and used a pipe made of animal skin to blow air into it...

Well, look at the anvils where weapons and tools are made!
It was a nearly rectangular and strong meteorite anvil, and the top was ground extremely flat. The werewolves were pouring the meteorite that melted into a liquid block and then slightly solidified on it, and beat it repeatedly with a hammer.

Guo Sen suddenly felt a little puzzled.

The civilization of the White Wolf Clan feels like a mixture of two extremes.

They can make clay into bricks and walls, and have a simple sense of "city wall";

But it is impossible to make a more advanced blast furnace, and even a decent blast device is not good;
But it can create a flat meteorite anvil...

What the hell is this!
White wolf tribe, what happened to make the development of civilization into such a mess?
Everything seems to be full of contradictions.

Various obsolete and advanced technologies appeared in this tribe at the same time, which made Guo Sen completely puzzled.

It stands to reason that the development of civilization should be more balanced, but this does not seem to be the case here with the White Wolf Clan.

Some of their civilizations are extremely advanced, which made Guo Sen's eyes shine.

And there are others, which seem to have remained unchanged for 300 years, stagnant.

Guo Sen couldn't figure it out.

He felt that he should go to the tribe of the White Wolf Clan to take a look, maybe he could find out some answers.

Tribes of humanoids are not hard to find.

Guo Sen soon saw a tribe in a clearing that was clearly excavated by man in the forest not far from the smelter.

He carefully recalled that this location seemed to be their original origin.

That is to say, the tribe that was once occupied by the Black Wolf Clan and then recaptured.

However, the scale here seems to be much larger than what Guo Sen has seen before.

Originally, the small place only covered an area of ​​several thousand square meters, but now it has expanded at least a hundred times!
A few-meter-wide wall made of strong wooden piles and bricks surrounded this huge tribe.

After processing large and small trees into planks and pillars suitable for construction, the white wolves used them to build houses into connected log houses.

Nearly ten thousand white figures are constantly walking and busy in this tribe...
