When Huang Ye and Alan arrived, the square was extremely lively. People pointed at the ore and talked about how sharp the iron rods in the hands of the expedition team were.
As soon as they arrived, they went to find Lin Yan and felt completely relieved when they saw that she was intact.
"Give way, give way, let us in." Alan shouted, and Huang Ye squeezed in.
Lin Yan was surrounded by people. It was not easy to see people.
It took a while before she saw Huang Ye and Alan who had squeezed in. She greeted them with a smile, "You guys are here, don't worry, we are all fine. This time we have gained a lot."
"I've been talking about you all the way here. This is iron ore." Alan asked, staring at the pile of ore behind Lin Yan.
Lin Yan picked up two small pieces and handed them to Alan and Huang Ye, "This is iron ore. It doesn't look like much, but it has many uses."
The two of them touched the ore and felt that it was very heavy. The color was different from the stone, so nothing could be seen.
Lin Yan said with a smile: "You can't see anything in the ore, look at this." She took out her small shovel, "It's very useful. It's very convenient to shovel soil."
It's a pity that the floor of the square is paved with tiles, otherwise I could have demonstrated it myself.
Huang Ye and Alan looked at it again and again, and then asked where Heitu was. They also wanted to know if anyone who had gone out had come back.
After all, no one in the tribe has been out for such a long time in more than three months.
As they were talking, Kurotsuchi squeezed over. He heard someone said they were coming and rushed over, "Let's go to the house and say it's too noisy."
I also called the leaders of each group over to listen to the experiences outside.
As the leader of the team, Kurotsuchi gave the commentary and briefly recounted his experiences over the past few months.
Mrs. Shui's heartbeat was rising and falling, "It was a thrilling journey for you. Fortunately, you all came back safely. What do those green onions look like? Come and show them to us."
"That's right, I haven't seen any edible vegetables yet. Let's open our eyes." Ye Zi followed.
Kurotsuchi looked at Lin Yan, "We'll look at the dishes later. Let's talk about important things first. On this trip, Lin Yan found more than a dozen kinds of herbs. If it weren't for the herbs, people would definitely die. At that time, Huo Qiang was bitten by a snake. He was poisoned and was about to lose his strength. It was Lin Yan's timely rescue that allowed him to survive until now. The injured people also used herbal medicine to recover quickly. I personally think that herbal medicine is very useful. We will inevitably get injured when we go hunting. If It would be great if more people learned about medication."
Huang Ye stood up excitedly, "Is there really such a magical herb? You can be cured if you are injured, so you don't have to wait to die."
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Not just me, but everyone in the expedition team was a witness." Kurotsuchi felt that this matter was much more important than the food, so he was the first to bring it up.
Bai Yun, the team leader, also stood up and said, "Let us see what the herbal medicine looks like."
"Don't rush to see it. We have brought back a lot. Anyone who is interested can go and see it." Kurotsuchi looked around and finally looked at Lin Yan, "You said you want to train doctors, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Who is a doctor?" Mrs. Shui asked hurriedly.
Lin Yan explained: "Doctors are professional people who save lives and heal the wounded. If you are injured or feel uncomfortable, you can go to a doctor for treatment. The doctor will know what is wrong with your body and give you medicine to treat it. But not everyone is a doctor. Being able to do it requires long-term study and accumulation.”
"How good the doctor is," Huang Ye said loudly immediately, "How to train him, we fully support him."
"That's right, having doctors will save a lot of deaths. We support the training of doctors. Lin Yan, tell us, whatever needs to be prepared, we will do it."
"Say who can be a doctor, we will find someone right away."
Seeing that everyone was excited and wanted to train doctors right away, Lin Yan hurriedly raised his hand to tell everyone to calm down, "Don't be anxious, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"You tell us, let's listen." Huang Ye looked at everyone, "Don't interrupt, just listen to Lin Yan."
"Doctors have a lot to learn, and training cannot be achieved in a short time, and our current conditions are not enough. When I make paper and have medical books, I can find people to study and research. Now everyone learns first Let’s get to know a few common herbal medicines, and people who are interested in this area can study together.”
Lin Yan felt that there were too many things to do on this trip, and the doctor's tasks could not be carried out immediately. She herself was a dabbler, following the instructions completely, and could not teach others.
Everyone listening was a little anxious. Yu Cai, the leader of the eighth team, said: "In other words, it will take a long time to get a doctor. How can we do it faster?"
Lin Yan shook his head, "Being hasty will not solve the problem. We have already found the herbal medicine, and we will find more herbal medicines next. There must be someone willing to delve into this path. Just wait patiently."
Kurotsuchi immediately said: "Just do what Lin Yan said. We don't understand anything, so we will do whatever she says. That's it for the doctor for now, let's talk about the ore next."
"The ore we brought back seems to be a lot, but it is not enough for use. In addition to allocating this batch of ore to the laboratory for testing, everyone must decide how to distribute the rest."
Alan said: "We can't use the ore even if we are given it. Not everyone can turn the ore into tools."
"That's right. The ore needs to be refined to become pig iron, and then further smelted to make tools. It is really useless to distribute it to individuals." Kurotsuchi agreed, "So, it needs to be refined into tools and then distributed, but how to distribute them is the problem. . There are so many things that can be made from ore. The people who went on the mining adventure all wanted to get practical tools, and they deserved them. So what about the rest of the people? Some people have them, and some people don’t. , people who don’t have it will definitely not be happy, and what will happen when trouble occurs.”
These are all problems. This is not like building a house, where everyone can work together and eventually be distributed per capita. Nowadays, it is impossible to distribute ore per capita, which will definitely lead to conflicts.
Bai Yun nodded after listening, "This is indeed a problem. Just like when Lin Yan taught those ten children, the other children's families did not agree, so the school was built so that more children could attend class. But there was not enough ore. But we can’t solve it this way, we still have to dig more ores and come back. But it takes a long time, there are many dangers, and there are all kinds of problems, which are difficult to solve.”
Lin Yan has also thought about this issue. Failure to achieve fair distribution will indeed cause civil strife.
When people know how useful iron tools are, everyone will want them, and it will be a question of who should give them or not.
Everyone was discussing it, but they couldn't come up with a reasonable solution. Then, they all stared at Lin Yan. She was so smart, she should have a way.
Ye Zi said excitedly: "Lin Yan, you are so smart, you must have a solution, right?"
Lin Yan shook his head. He really regarded her as a god. She was omnipotent. He really thought highly of her.
