i have a super island

Chapter 600 Mining
The camp in the evening was extremely lively.

Because today, Equation and Lu Fengmei brought back a special thing, a copper block.

When Fang Fang called the crowd together and showed them the newly smelted copper, it immediately caused a commotion in the crowd.

The natives had never seen this kind of thing before, but looking at the faint luster on its surface, they somehow felt that it was a very special thing.

And the people who formulate them don't need to say much, no one doesn't know that this is copper.

Everyone knows what copper means.

As the boss of these natives, Blake asked the equation on behalf of everyone, "Master, what are these heavy things in your hand?"

Fang Fang smiled slightly and said: "This is called copper. With it, we can make agricultural tools, weapons, and utensils. As long as we want to get it, we can use it to make it."

"Is that so?"

Blake's forehead was full of question marks, and so were the other natives.

Pang Pang carefully took the piece of copper from Fang Fang's hand, and weighed it in his palm. The cold and hard touch is indeed different from that of stone, but it is really hard to imagine turning it into a weapon.

"Don't worry, it's just the stage of smelting copper ore. It's still early to make copper ore into weapons and tools."

Fang Fang took back the piece of copper from Pangpang's hand, and smiled playfully at everyone.

At present, this amount of copper is far from enough. If you want to make batches of farm tools and weapons, you need a lot of copper.

To get a lot of copper, you have to collect a lot of copper ore, and then you have to send more people to the small island to the south to collect copper ore.

"Starting tomorrow, only a small number of people will be left in the camp to guard; the cultivated land, brick kilns, and lime furnaces will also need to be guarded by a small number of people; all others will be with me on the south side of the island."

"Our next task is to hollow out the small island in the south and transport all the stones on it to our island."

Standing in the crowd, Fang Fang raised his arms and shouted impassionedly.

One stone stirred up waves, and after the equation was finished, Blake and Fatty responded in unison with their respective people.

The camp suddenly became thunderous, and everyone was shouting the slogan "hollow out the opposite island", and the cohesion was unprecedentedly strong.

Time flies, and the night passes.

The eastern sky had only just turned white, and Equation had already brought a large army along the beach to the south coast of the island.

All the ships on the island were also brought together. These ships will play a huge role in the future and become the most important tool for transporting ore between the two islands.

More than a dozen boats made of canoes lined up on the beach, and the black indigenous warriors boarded the boats, and they all set off to the opposite island as soon as Fang Fang gave an order.

"Our goal is to hollow out the opposite island."

"I don't have much to say, the only thing is that I hope that everyone will put safety first, and would rather go back and forth more often than load too many stones. Once the ship capsizes, it will be a catastrophe."

After Equation briefly said a few words to explain, the natives could not wait to set off for the bald island in the south.

Today the sea is very calm, with a slight easterly wind, which does not affect the crossing sailing.

In fact, the distance between the two islands is very close. If you row fast, you can reach the opposite shore in half an hour.

This is also their advantage. In the case of limited navigation technology, the shorter the distance, the higher the safety, and the less likely the accident will be.

Looking at those ships going hand in hand, a satisfied smile appeared on Fang Fang's face.

Song Zhixi walked gently to Fang Fang, and asked with some incomprehension: "Isn't what we need a copper mine? Judging by your posture, are you really going to hollow out that island?"

Fang Fang smiled and said, "Exactly."

In fact, this is also a decision made by the equation according to the situation of the island.

That day he took Wei Lin to the top of the highest mountain on the island, and had a bird's-eye view of the entire island.

If you want to build a new city, you need to build a surrounding wall first, and you can use bricks or stones to build the wall.

But at present, the island is not rich in stone resources. Compared with using the soil on the island to burn bricks, it is more appropriate to leave the soil to grow crops.

To sum up, the best way is to move the stones from the southern island.

Anyway, the bare island in the south has nothing but copper ore, and since the last thing it lacks is stone, it just happens to be used for its own use.

Time passed little by little, and soon the first returning ship rowed over from the opposite island.

"It's Blake's boat." Song Zhixi said.

"It really didn't disappoint me." A smile appeared on the corner of Fang Fang's mouth. Blake was not only extremely brave in battle, but also strived to be the first in these things, which made Fang Fang very satisfied.

After a short wait, Blake's boat landed on the coast, and several natives unloaded the stones in the cabin together, and then rowed towards the south island again without stopping.

Lu Fengmei was not idle either. Seeing that the first ship of ore had been delivered, she immediately led people to beat and knock off the green copper attached to the ore.

After the first shipment of ore was delivered, successive ores were sent to the shore.

All the natives were working hard, for fear that they would fall behind.

Lu Fengmei and the remaining aborigines were already too busy.

Fang Fang looked at Song Zhixi and smiled slightly, and said, "Let's go, we'll go over to help too."

Song Zhixi nodded in response, and went with Fang Fang to help Lu Fengmei and the others knock the rocks.

After the stones were hammered, those with green copper were thrown to one side, and those without green copper were thrown to the other side.

Those with green copper will be smelted next, and those pure stones without green copper will be the materials used to build the city wall later.

"Old Lu, everyone is very motivated today, and the efficiency of collecting ore is faster than I expected." Fang Fang smiled at Lu Fengmei.

"Don't worry, as long as we have no problem here, there will definitely be no problem with my practice." Lu Fengmei's face was full of confidence, "I didn't sleep all night yesterday. After thinking about it, there is no way to improve it. The efficiency of smelting, that's what I figured out."

"What way, is it so awesome?"

"Hey, it's nothing special, just add another blower to this furnace, so that the temperature inside the furnace can be increased rapidly, and the melting speed will naturally increase."

Fang Fang was quite surprised, and said in surprise: "Blower? Where do we have this stuff?"

Lu Fengmei chuckled and said, "It's simple, just make one now."

"You will too?"

"Who am I, the omnipotent Teacher Lu!"
