Hua Min was shocked, "You want to teach our writing to other tribes. What good will this do to us?"
"It's very beneficial." Lin Yan was not surprised at Hua Min's reaction. "Think about it, in a few years, if we all use the same writing and speak the same language, our relationship will become closer. As time goes by, they will will be assimilated by us.”
"Why are you assimilating them?"
"Use your brain. Our wish is to get out of here and explore the world outside. How can there be enough people right next to Sun City? If we want our wish to come true, we must have strong strength. People are the foundation."
Seeing that Hua Min was stunned, Lin Yan looked around and whispered: "To tell you the truth, my goal is much more than that. I want to gather more tribes to join us with Sun City as the center. At that time We are one country. Cultural assimilation is the first step, and the next step is to conquer them."
Hua Min looked at Lin Yan blankly as if she was frightened. After a long while, she said, "You are really thinking far ahead. I never thought I could do this."
"Let's do it together, what do you think?" Lin Yan stared at Hua Min, his eyes shining, as if he was soliciting believers, full of piety and expectation.
Hua Min's mind was spinning and she nodded involuntarily.
"Great, Hua Min, then the important task of teaching them will be left to you."
Looking at Lin Yan's walking back, Hua Min was shocked to realize that she had just been bewitched. It was not her fault that she was not clear-headed, but that the future described by Lin Yan was too attractive.
It is exciting to think that other tribes can learn the writing of Sun City. Hua Min is passionate about education and can teach more people to have a sense of accomplishment just thinking about it.
She said to herself: "Lin Yan is always so hot-tempered and runs away as soon as he says something. Is he afraid that I will regret it?"
When Lin Yan arrived at the laboratory, Shi Zhi and Ye Cong were already calcining limestone.
"Shi Zhi, you are so diligent."
Shi Zhi said without raising his head: "Do you think everyone is like you? You sleep until you wake up naturally."
Ye Cong said with a smile: "Lin Yan, you are here, help us see if we can use a furnace for smelting refined iron to calcine limestone?"
"This furnace can smelt iron, so it shouldn't be a problem to burn the limestone. Keep burning it and see if there is any change in the limestone."
"You're right. This furnace is well-sealed and the temperature can rise quickly. Once the quicklime is burned, it will be of great use." Ye Cong looked at Lin Yan and said, "Next time the ship goes out, can you take me with you?"
"Ye Cong, you still need to manage these people in the laboratory. You can't all leave. Wait two years before you grow up."
"Lin Yan, I am three years older than you and older than Feng Wenwen. You can all go, but why can't I go? You are partial and don't want to take me."
Seeing that Ye Chongming was obviously unhappy, Lin Yan hurriedly comforted him: "As you know, the number of places for the fleet trip is limited, and there are only a few places in the laboratory. Feng Wenwen and I have to go to be responsible for the maintenance of the ship. Huang Ying is here to collect There is only one quota left for more herbs, so you can take turns."
"This is what you said. It was Shi Zhi who went there last time, and it will be my turn next time." Ye Cong immediately became happy.
Shi Zhi threw cold water, "Don't forget, there are Hong Ling and Bai Chen in the laboratory."
"They are all busy and won't compete with me."
Lin Yan smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. You guys should be busy first, and tell me as soon as the quicklime is burned out. I need it urgently."
Ye Cong: "What are you going to do?"
"It is safer to fill the gaps in the boat with putty. Putty is a waterproof material. After filling the gaps, apply tung oil again, and the waterproof effect will be better."
Lin Yan wanted to use putty to fill the seams of the boat he was building now, but this amount of limestone was obviously not enough. It seemed that he would have to transport more limestone.
She did it as soon as she thought of it, and immediately went to Baiyun to discuss it.
Seeing Lin Yan in a hurry, Bai Yun smiled and said, "You really can't wait for a moment. I just finished talking in the morning, and it's only been less than three hours, and you're here to urge me."
"We urgently need limestone for shipbuilding. We can't wait. We have to build two large ships this year. Time is tight and the task is heavy. That's why I came to you in a hurry."
Bai Yun nodded to express his understanding, "Who do you want to be responsible for this? Call them over and let's discuss what to do together."
Lin Yan scratched his head, "I don't have a specific candidate. Let whoever you think is qualified come. Mining limestone is a laborious job. We can let the cavemen work and pay them. I want to build a lime factory there, and the workers Just use cavemen, and our people will be mainly responsible for management."
"In that case, it's not good to choose someone who can only do work. There are so many people in Sun City, I want to think about who should be suitable."
Bai Yun screened the suitable people, selected two people, and asked Lin Yan, "What do you think of Lin Yun and Leng Ying? You know Lin Yun very well and are very capable in all aspects, so I won't say more. Leng Ying is Leng Fang's eldest daughter. She is enthusiastic and generous, and is good at dealing with people. They should be able to do well together. "
"Lin Yun is busy with other things and I'm afraid he doesn't have time. Leng Ying can do it. You can find someone to cooperate with Leng Ying." Lin Yan knew that Leng Ying was indeed a capable person and it was appropriate for her to do this.
Baiyun thought for a while and finally decided to let Leng Ying be the main person in charge, with Hua Liang cooperating with Leng Ying.
After calling the two of them over, Lin Yan explained his thoughts. Bai Yun asked the two of them to go to the field to understand the situation first, and then make an implementation plan when they came back.
Leng Ying was entrusted with an important task for the first time, so she felt a little uneasy. She asked Lin Yan for detailed information on various needs, and finally took ten people from the military headquarters to the destination.
In order to make it easier to call it, Lin Yan named the limestone area Gray Mountain and spent another two days drawing a map of the route out this time.
Shi Zhi and Ye Cong also burned the quicklime. It may be due to the purity of the limestone. The quality of the lime is not very good, but it can be used barely.
Lin Yan and Feng Wenwen used hot tung oil and lime to make putty, and planned to take the time to repair a few boats.
The four of them, Blue and White, also walked around Sun City. Everything they saw felt novel and they wanted to take it home. After seven or eight days of this, the four of them were reluctant to leave, but they had to propose that they want to go home.
No matter how good Sun City is, it is not their tribe. If they stay here for a long time, they will be more and more reluctant to go back.
The journey from Sun City to Qingyan Tribe was long and the trip took too long. We couldn't make the trip just to see the four of them off.
The arbitral tribunal decided that Yun Qing would take the people on another trip. Only boats No. 2 and 3 will travel, while boat No. 1 will stay and travel to Gray Mountain.
This time, they brought five hundred kilograms each of flour and hemp oil on board, preparing to exchange mineral salt and cotton with the two tribes. For the convenience of measurement, I also brought a five-steel scale to give to them.
Hua Min originally planned to travel with him, but eventually changed his mind and asked Qingyan and the Yuanye tribe to send a group of children to study in Sun City.
Children are more likely to accept new knowledge, and when they return home after learning, they can also change their original tribe.
At the same time, Hua Min gave the pinyin table and two enlightenment books to the four people of Qinghua. They studied for a few days. Although they did not master everything, they could continue to learn on the ship and teach the tribesmen when they returned.
