Beasts Are Boundless

The Mustang King deliberately slowed down a bit so that the snow wolf behind him could keep up with his footsteps.

You can tell which animals are your companions by not having domesticated the snow wolf for countless years, so the Mustang King can coexist peacefully with the snow wolf.

When the Wild Horse King first came to the tribe, he was still a little afraid of the Snow Region Demon Wolf. After all, one person eats meat and the other is vegetarian, but the Snow Region Demon Wolf was friendly, and the Wild Horse King and the entire wild horse group soon got used to it.

Yiqi Juechen, followed by ten snowy demon wolves.

Speeding towards the tribe, Ye Qiong looked back from time to time, remembering the location here.

The distance of 30 kilometers is not far, nor is it near. In winter, Ye Qiong specially sent a small team of soldiers to explore the surrounding tribes.

The tribes in this jungle are not counted, they belong to unknown tribes, and their strength and number are unclear.

As long as they don't come out of the jungle, in winter, no soldiers will run in specifically. After all, after entering, as long as a blizzard can bury the entire outer edge of the jungle.

It's impossible to walk miles on your legs through snow that can bury trees.

Ye Qiong and Mustang Wang, who were trapped in the snow of the avalanche at the time, relied on two long-tailed bears and more than 100 people, and dug for several days to get him out.

If a normal person or a small team is trapped in the dense forest, as long as the snow buryes the outer edge of the dense forest, they can only wait until the next spring to come out again.

Soon, the team returned to the tribe, Ye Qiong turned over and dismounted, let the king of wild horses return to the stable, and then returned to the laboratory by himself.

Now Ye Qiong is more interested in the soil he brought back in his pocket.

Compared with the tribe and target within the jungle, Ye Qiong was more interested in this.

After all, there are so many tribes, not less than one or two. Although there are very few towering trees on Xue Xing, there is no shortage of wood, and rare minerals and rare metals are what Ye Qiong wants most.

In Ye Qiong's last life, gold was considered the most valuable metal in the eyes of normal people, but the fact is that any rare metal is not comparable to gold, especially some laboratories cannot be refined and can only be collected in nature. Rare metals are necessities for some experiments that can determine the future of mankind, so their value is unimaginable. Several special rare metals are hard to find, and it is impossible to measure this thing with money.

Simply put, the periodic table of elements is precious in terms of gram value.

The most expensive thing is called francium, which is calculated in terms of monetary value or in terms of collection cost, and one gram is worth billions.

Like the uranium used to make the atomic bomb, the price is so expensive that it has nothing to do with ordinary people.

Ye Qiong didn't expect to find these rare elements by himself. Now, what Ye Qiong is most interested in is iron, and what he is more interested in than iron is copper ore and magnetite ore.

Steel is a necessity to enter the industrial age, and with copper and magnetite mines, Ye Qiong can make electricity out of it.

After having electricity...

Humanity will accelerate toward the bright direction of science and technology.

Ye Qiong took out the soil in his pocket, then took two cups over, filled the cups with water, then poured all the soil into it, stirred it with a stick, and then stared at it carefully.

Under the stirring of the wooden stick, the entire soil spreads into the cup. According to the law of conservation of energy, nothing in the cup will disappear directly. The only thing that can be volatilized is water. Soil is soluble in water, so things in the soil that are insoluble in water can be easily extracted.

He found a piece of burlap on the shelf next to him, and Ye Qiong began to filter it. Soon, the water and soil in the cup were filtered into another cup, and the remaining granular things were Ye Qiong. Qiong is interested in something.

This method is simple and crude, and very primitive, but it can only filter out a very small amount of some metal particles.

For the metal elements that are rich in stones, this method will not work. Without the premise of factories and equipment, it can only be burned with fire, melted at high temperature, and then extracted, and the efficiency is very, very low.

Ye Qiong poured all the small particles extracted into a small bottle, ready to continue research. The amount is too small now, so he has to go back a few times to collect more samples.

These collected small particles, together with the bottle, were placed on the shelf next to them, and then a marked bamboo piece was placed at the mouth of the bottle.

When I walked out of the laboratory, it was already dark, and today was a fulfilling day.

Ye Qiong returned to the small house where he lived, lay on the bed and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, the light of the warm stars shone on the earth. If Ye Qiong were to give a name to the star on the slope of the blue parent star, Ye Qiong would definitely call it the sun.

day!

The warm light began to cover the earth. The ground that had just sprouted two days ago, with tender grass emerging from the ground, has now become lush and green, which makes it impossible to imagine that the entire planet is still covered with ice after pushing forward for half a month. sealed.

If you don't think about the long eighteen-month cold winter, just from the current scene, Xue Xing is really a vibrant planet.

Within the tribe, the ice wall had completely disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

All that remains are the towers at the edge and the center, which are lonely and lonely.

On top of each tower, there are two warriors who are responsible for maintaining the giant crossbow. Right now, they are conducting daily routine inspections, wiping them clean to prevent rust, and then confirming that there are no other problems before they come down to work. something else.

In winter, there are people standing guard on the towers 24 hours a day, but after spring, there is no need.

The beast tide has dispersed, and the mad crowd will not risk attacking the tribe because they have enough food.

On the contrary, after spring, they are more afraid of humans and will find a cat with horns.

After all, in the spring and summer, human beings have sufficient supplies and food. If the madman does not have long eyes to attack the tribe and launches the attack first, the human tribe will run away directly, and then join a few tribes to fight back.

Only in winter, human tribes can only defend themselves in the face of beast tides or mad crowds. In winter, giving up supplies and food is no different from suicide.

After spring, things will be different...

If you want supplies and food, they will be given to you, and when you turn around, you will be called to kill you together.

So as far as madmen are concerned, after spring, they will find a place to catch cats. After all, they will find a place where there are no humans to stay. There is no need to worry about food, and there is no need to hoard supplies and food. , the materials and food that human beings have worked so hard to store are prepared for them.

Ye Qiong blew a whistle in the sky, and the king of wild horses ran over immediately. After riding the king of wild horses, Ye Qiong went straight to the coal mine base...
