They took Zhuo Yan directly to the coal mine base under construction.
At present, Zhuo Yan and the others are not aware of the importance of coal.
So Ye Qiong planned to get some coal first, and then make some barbecue to let Zhuo Yan and the others experience the beauty of coal.
As for the steam age that coal will need to lead in the future, and its technological uses, we can't mention it yet. Just making fire for cooking and heating is enough to attract the Yanfeng tribe.
There are more soldiers here at the coal base. The tribe's current coal storage is sufficient, so the soldiers are busy building the base and consolidating the defense facilities.
One of the two newly built giant crossbows was transported here.
The base is divided into several areas. Although the sparrow is small and well-equipped, the most important thing is defense. The tower has been built to a height of seven meters, and the top is still under construction. The giant crossbow is now placed below.
After the tower is built, it will be erected on top.
Range reaches maximum.
Burning charcoal fires are readily available. The soldiers here at the coal mine base have long learned to use coal for heating and cooking. After all, the burning time is so long. As long as the stove is set up and buried with ashes when not in use, it will be fine. Well, as long as the coal is completely burned, the core temperature will be very high.
So even if it is completely buried in ashes, it will not be extinguished.
It can burn for a very long time. When using it, just turn out the burning core inside.
very convenient.
Zhuo Yan and the others were brought into the shelter that had been built at the base. When they saw the charcoal burning in the fire, Zhuo Yan and the others didn't feel anything at first.
Judging from the shape, it is similar to charcoal. There are still many of them in this tribe, but as time goes by, they quickly discovered that coal is different.
Under normal circumstances, the burning time of charcoal is mostly about twenty minutes, while the burning time of coal...
At the same volume, it is about five times that of charcoal.
Although it may not sound too big, it definitely has epoch-making significance for Xuexing. No matter which aspect it is, it can increase a lot of efficiency.
The simplest example is that when soldiers hunt in the wild, it is impossible to march with burning charcoal, but coal can. Burying burning coal into ashes can ensure heat for a whole day. source.
Gradually, Zhuo Yan finally realized some of the significance of coal...
The meat cooking in the pot had begun to smell fragrant. Zhuo Yan smelled the aroma of the meat and finally looked at Ye Qiong and asked: "This black thing...how many do you have in your tribe?"
Ye Qiong smiled and waved to Zhuo Yan: "Follow me."
After finishing speaking, he walked out, stood at the door, looked at Gao Po in front of him and said, "It's all down here..."
Zhuo Yan was stunned for a moment...
Down here?
So far, he didn't know that coal was mined from the ground, so he couldn't understand Ye Qiong's current macroscopic meaning.
Looking at Zhuo Yan's expression, Ye Qiong knew that he still couldn't understand, so he continued: "There are just a lot of them. What we have mined so far is almost as high as a small mountain, and there are more down here."
Zhuo Yan nodded. If he said it this way, he could understand it. It probably meant inexhaustible supply.
Although Ye Qiong did not mean this, in Zhuo Yan's eyes, the Ye Qiong tribe already had endless treasures.
If their Yanfeng tribe can join such a tribe, then...
Does it also mean that they no longer need to hoard wood in winter, they can eat hot food all winter, and even the room can be kept warm.
When he thought of this, Zhuo Yan's eyes showed an intoxicating yearning.
Then think of the two king-level monsters of the Ye Qiong tribe, and a few long-tailed bears...
Will such a tribe dislike them?
Unconsciously, Zhuo Yan started to feel inferior.
This was a bit beyond Ye Qiong's expectations.
However, Ye Qiong's inner goal was achieved.
After continuing to chat with Zhuo Yan for a while, Ye Qiong looked at the sky and saw that it was almost dusk. If Zhuo Yan and the others went back now, they could return to the Yanfeng tribe before dark.
If we don't leave, we will have to travel at night, although in spring and summer, there are no animal tides.
But there are still a lot of high-level monsters in the wild, especially at night. If this team is killed by monsters in the wild, Ye Qiong will have been working in vain all day. Not only will he not be able to win over Yan Feng, Tribes may even arouse hatred and break out wars.
So Ye Qiong planned to escort them back in person. After all, if something happened to them, Ye Qiong wouldn't be able to explain it clearly even if he had eight mouths. There was nothing under surveillance on Snow Star. For the Yanfeng tribe, only One piece of information was that the people they sent to follow Ye Qiong did not come back and died outside.
Then Ye Qiong naturally has an unshirkable responsibility.
Eating ice-carved meat cooked with coal gave Zhuo Yan and the others a different taste. The temperature of coal is much higher than that of charcoal, so the cooked meat will be more mushy and the soup will be thicker. It tastes better.
After eating and drinking, Ye Qiong could be considered a landlord.
The cooked meat was a bit too much, but it would not be wasted. The remaining half of the pot, together with the soup, was poured into the stomach.
After finishing the drink, Dudai licked the bottom of the pot with unsatisfied taste.
After Daidai had eaten and drank enough, the team set off immediately, heading directly from the coal mine base here towards the direction predicted by the Yanfeng tribe.
If Ye Qiong and the others were targeting the Yanfeng tribe when they came out in the morning.
When they arrive, they probably won't even be able to see anyone.
Ye Qiong is now leading Zhuo Yan and the others, walking quickly according to the position predicted in his heart, with Zhuo Yan and the others following closely behind him.
And the sky gradually darkened.
After the star falls to the ground, it has only traveled half the distance.
Stars disappeared below the horizon, and some high-level magical beasts that lurked day and night began to appear.
Many of them noticed Ye Qiong's small team, but after seeing Dudu, there were no high-level monsters that were not easy to use, and they rushed to die, so they consciously hunted by themselves.
When he was about to reach the Yanfeng tribe, Zhuo Yan took out a whistle. This kind of whistle was similar to Ye Qiong's. In fact, it was used for communication within the tribe. Otherwise, if he would run blindly with his eyes darkened, as long as the direction was slightly If you make a mistake, you will miss the tribe directly.
Once you miss it, you basically can't find it.
In spring and summer, whistles are sometimes used between the two tribes to communicate or call for help.
"Choo Choo Choo!"
Zhuo Yan blew three times in a row, a harsh high-frequency whistle that could travel very far.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp! Chirp, chirp, chirp!"
Ten seconds later, a rather rapid whistle came from the southwest.
After Ye Qiong and Zhuo Yan heard the whistle, their expressions changed.
This kind of whistle...
It is a common police whistle among tribes on Snow Star! It is also used to ask for help...
