Season of Spring, Grain Rain.

It is late spring, when the seedlings in the fields are first planted and new crops are planted, and they need the most moisture from the rain.

The road to Lingnan is not easy to walk, but fortunately the Erba gods lead the way. The gods' big steps trample back and forth, and the roads that are not easy to walk are also trampled to make it easier to walk. All the bumps and bumps are trampled clean, and Because it rained today, the twenty-eight gods were able to show themselves.

Take advantage of the rain and move quickly, because as long as the sun appears, Erba Shenren will have no strength.

Futaba Kamito is the god of the night, and becomes lazy during the day. In most cases, he will hide directly, just like when they first came to the Akakata clan, maybe hiding in the shadows, maybe hiding in the shadows. It will be hidden in the darkness between the mountains and fields.

The huge figure can be large or small, and can change freely.

Yu Zai has already seen that during the day, sixteen gods and men hide in their own shadows. At night, sixteen huge figures appear from the small shadows at Yu Zai's feet and suddenly rise up. , the way he appears is like the genie of Aladdin without the smoke.

The Diyou clan had already passed by the tribe's seat, and the area where Shandu God had been active had also been passed by everyone, so they entered Tianbi Mountain. The mountain road was far and near, dozens of miles of blue ink, and the opposite side of Tianbi Mountain was Rong. Tianshan.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Great Wilderness South Classic": In the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain named Rongtian, and the sea water flows into it in the south.

Rongtianling, like the Wushan Mountains and the Geshan Group, is a long mountain range that extends to the southwest to the Dananling Mountains.

The journey was long, and Yuzai and Dayi were walking in front. When the sky changed and it became dark, Yuzai took out the Guzi, because the two eyes of the Guzi could be used as flashlights at night, which was better than Yuzai himself. The Sun Boxing works much better...

"The air pressure is abnormal. I'm afraid we will see the Houtian clan here in Lingnan again this year."

The Houtian clan is coming again, but this time they are not helping to fight the enemy, but are going to destroy facilities. However, Yuzai is not worried about the tribe, because Qiao Song is at home, and the teacher is a Qi practitioner and can control the rain clouds. Coupled with the change in the weather vane, the clansmen have the experience of dealing with the Houtian clan last time, so there should be no problems this time.

For people in ancient times, as long as the granary did not fly, it did not matter whether other buildings could fly or not.

"We have been walking for a long time, and I have been to this mountain wilderness before."

Dayi said to Concubine: "This is the wilderness of Shangliang, which means 'the land of high harvests'."

"Fire-Tired Country, continue walking south from Shangliang Wilderness, and you can see it after walking for about six days and nights."

"As for the location..."

Fire-weary country is to the south of Sanzhushu, Sanzhushu is to the north of Fire-weary country, Erba Shenren is to the southwest of Bi Fangniao, Erba Shen is to the east of Yumin State, and Bi Fangniao is to Erba Shen. To the east of, to the west of Qingshui.

An important geographical landmark is the nest of the Miemeng Bird. The Jiexiong Kingdom is to the north of the Miemeng Bird, the Sanshou Kingdom is to the east of the Miemeng Bird, the Yumin Kingdom is to the southeast of the Miemeng Bird, and the Yanhuo Kingdom is to the southeast of the Miemeng Bird. south side.

From this we can conclude...

Well, after listening to Dayi's story, Yuzai began to doubt his geographical knowledge.

The road signs in ancient times were really messy.

Dayi himself said that he could straighten it out, but Suzai had to draw a map.

"Near the Chishui River where the three trees grow, there is the Miemeng Bird..."

After Ruan Zai finished drawing the map, he roughly understood that Fire-weary Country, Biyi Wilderness, and Chishui Bank were located in a horizontal elliptical circle. This circle was towards the southwest, while Yumin Country was further south, slightly to the south. Dong was kicked out of this oval, so he felt that the location of Yu Minguo was incompatible with other regions.

But with the "southeast indicator" of destroying the Mengniao, the position of the Yumin was clearly pointed out.

There are many mountains in the south and the location is vague.

Traveling through mountains and rivers, when I started from Shangliangye and reached the eighth mountainous field, I climbed up and looked out. Not far ahead, I saw a vast turbid water flowing slowly!

And the City of Shiren is not far from this large water!

"Here we are, this is the shore of Chishui River, and that big city is the Fire-Tired Kingdom!"

Dayi pointed to the turbid water: "Follow the water and you will find three trees, and near the three trees is the Biyi Wilderness!"

After a long journey, we are finally here!

Boom!

A landslide occurred in a coal mine near the Fire-Tired Kingdom.

Yijun's entire face was grayish-yellow, not just because of his embarrassment, but the important issue was that the dust almost buried him alive.

Construction of the mine failed.

Mining has been practiced in ancient mountains and seas since the time of the Three Ancient Emperors. However, it was open-pit mining at that time, and the ancient ancestors did not understand the essential difference between metal minerals and stones. They just thought that this kind of stone was harder, so they would It takes a lot of effort to find ways to polish these "solid stones". With solid stones, when they collide with other stone tools, the outcome will be obvious.

Of course, in this era of abundant materials, more often than not, it is just a matter of getting started directly, without knocking, and just digging up the soil layer, so that the minerals can be picked up from below.

The complete mining industry in ancient times was fully developed in the Xia Dynasty when bronzes began to become popular. The ancient Qiang people dug mountains in Sichuan and Gansu. The ancient Central Plains people and the ancient southerners adapted to local conditions and dug into mountains wherever they were available... .

However, during this period, the mines excavated were still very shallow.

During the Shang Dynasty, large-scale copper mining was already possible.

Later, during the Warring States Period, "Guanzi·Dishu" summarized the distribution rules of minerals in mineral deposits and pointed out that mineral deposits can be found based on the symbiotic relationship between mineral deposits and minerals.

Li Bing and his son, the builders of Dujiangyan, dug salt wells, and in the Han Dynasty they dug "fire wells". This thing sounds more magical, but it is actually a "natural gas well" more than 60 feet deep. This "fire well" was then used to Boiling salt.....

During the Western Han Dynasty, there was not only coal smelting technology, but also fire well exploration technology. From this point of view, it seems that if the population at that time was high enough and the productivity was strong enough, an industrial revolution might have occurred...

But just thinking about it.... Because in actual operation, there are still many factors that are troublesome, but these technologies do exist.

At this time, Yijun just wanted to continue to go deeper inside, but the reinforcement measures he thought about failed. After the collapse, many people were buried underneath. The people in the Fire-Tired Country all had a sad face, and the soot on their faces was wiped out. Dust covered...

"Hoo ho!"

A Chinese man breathed fire, grabbed a handful of coal in his pocket, threw it in his mouth and chewed it.

If the problem of the Hudouqun cannot be solved, they must risk their lives to mine here. But dogs like to fight guerrilla warfare. People cannot drill into the mountains like dogs every day. After all, the land still needs to be planted.
