After Tang Ying walked out for a while, she pulled someone back. It was the person in the caravan who was responsible for identifying herbs and other things.
It's called Feng Wu.
Feng Wu looked to be about sixty years old, which was middle-aged on Snow Star, so it was appropriate for Tang Ying to call him Uncle Feng.
After Feng Wu saw Ye Qiong, he bowed respectfully as a greeting to the young patriarch.
Then he looked at the plant in Ye Qiong's hand. When Tang Ying called him over just now, she had already told him on the way.
After describing it, Feng Wu knew what it was, so he said: "This is called Liang Chu. After being ground into powder, it can satisfy hunger and replenish physical strength in a short period of time."
After Ye Qiong heard this, his heart beat much faster...
It did get a little exciting.
It can satisfy hunger and replenish physical strength for a period of time.
This thing...
How is it different from barley or rice?
Although he was very excited, Ye Qiong also knew very well that even if he were to get him a bunch of wheat seeds and some rice seeds, it would still take a long time to study.
From planting, to maturity, to large-scale sowing, this time will be very long, and it will take years to count.
So I calmed down quickly.
"Where did you find this Liang Teng tree?" Ye Qiong asked after thinking for a while.
"In a tribe, I don't know where they found it. At that time, Captain Yang used a grease lamp and exchanged it. At the same time, there were other things mixed with the herbs. This kind of vegetation It is very rare and usually only appears in some swamp areas in summer, and it is very dangerous to collect." Feng Wu said.
Ye Qiong nodded and put the Liang Tong in his pocket, ready to go back and study it immediately.
Together with Tang Ying, they took a look at the things the caravan brought back this time. Many of them gave Ye Qiong some surprises.
After telling Tang Ying what he needed, Ye Qiong took Tang Ying back to the laboratory.
Ready to start studying Liang Chu in the pocket.
Ye Qiong placed Liang Chu on the stone table, then removed a few seeds from it, found a petri dish made by himself, put some water in it, and put the seeds in.
After finishing, Ye Qiong carefully placed Liang Chu in a ventilated wooden box for preservation.
After placing Liang Chu's petri dish in contact with the star's light, Ye Qiong took Tang Ying and continued working on the steam engine.
Now that the base, bearings, and cylinder are all there, and with the iron brought back by the caravan this time, Ye Qiong is going to take out the flywheel and piston today.
As long as these two things are taken out, the main components of the steam engine are basically completed. After assembly, the running test can be officially started.
He asked several soldiers to pull the carriage loaded with scraps of copper and iron to the laboratory. Ye Qiong picked out the iron tools. There were also some things that looked like rare metals inside, so Ye Qiong put them away alone. got up.
Put all the things that jumped out into the melter. After melting at high temperature, pour them into the mold that Ye Qiong had already made.
After waiting for cooling, it can be officially activated.
After spending a whole day in the laboratory, I finally completed some of the parts Ye Qiong needed.
After resting for a night, Ye Qiong took Tang Ying early the next morning and went to the area on the north side of the city wall of the central tribe that had been divided into farmland.
At the beginning of spring, Ye Qiong and Tang Ying planted many seeds. After a month, many of them had grown into young seedlings.
And the vast majority...
There was no movement at all, but this made Ye Qiong very satisfied. After all, it was only in the experimental stage now. Planting crops and fruit trees should not be rushed, but must be done step by step.
The food the tribe needs in winter still has to be collected and hunted through caravan trading and traveling teams.
There is not much time left for Ye Qiong. Ye Qiong must now start preparing the troops for the long journey.
The construction of the southern city wall has been completed. With the operation of the southern timber base, the tribe has no shortage of timber at this time. The giant wooden gate of the southern gate has also been erected.
Therefore, Ye Qiong needs to bring a tribe with him within a week to carry out remote gathering and hunting.
Ye Qiong needs to arrange everything that needs to be built and developed for a long time in the future of the tribe within a week.
In addition to the above problems, there is another very important thing in city defense construction, and that is the moat. There is no way to dig it in winter, so it must be done in summer, although in winter the river water will freeze and it will not be possible. It has a defensive role, but Ye Qiong already has other plans to build something else within the winter moat.
The two carefully checked and recorded the types of young seedlings that had grown. Most of them were fruit trees, and the vegetable plants that had been planted were basically wiped out.
Maybe Ye Qiong was planted at the wrong time, or maybe it was for other reasons, but in short, there was no harvest.
Before Ye Qiong was planted, he had actually been mentally prepared for the annihilation of his entire army, so there was nothing to be disappointed about now. Taking good care of the surviving ones was the main thing. As for whether they could survive the first year In the cold winter, Ye Qiong was also unsure.
But for winter, Ye Qiong is also ready to build a greenhouse.
During the eighteen-month long winter, greenhouses such as greenhouses must be built. This is of great significance. For Xuexing, it is a revolutionary building.
After pulling out the weeds around the young seedlings that had grown, Ye Qiong took Tang Ying to the high tower of the northern stone city wall and looked at the lush scene outside, as well as some people walking back and forth on the ground. A scurrying little beast.
Looking further away, you can see some larger low-level monsters, all over one meter tall, preying on small palm-sized beasts that emerge from small holes in the ground.
On the distant mountains, one or two large high-level magical beasts can occasionally be seen.
When Ye Qiong saw those high-level monsters, he remembered that he had not seen them for several days.
I don’t know where this guy went.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the long-tailed bears go hunting for less than a week, there will be no problem. But if it exceeds a week, you will start to worry. If it exceeds ten days, something is very likely to go wrong, and the tribe must Send a team out to look for it. It's likely that he was injured while hunting high-level monsters.
If you are lucky, you can find it, save it and bring it back to the tribe.
If you are unlucky, the tribe is likely to lose the long-tailed bear. This kind of thing is a very realistic thing. Fortunately, the long-tailed bear is not low in intelligence and generally will not leave the tribe too far. During the migration At that time, I only ran about ten kilometers at most.
When he thought of this, Ye Qiong put his fingers into his mouth and whistled several times.
