After returning from the caravan, Ye Qiong needed to start preparing for a long journey.
As for traveling far away, Ye Qiong thought of the two ships still parked at the canyon base.
So Ye Qiong planned to go to the canyon base tomorrow to see how the two ships had been transformed by the soldiers there. But today, Ye Qiong went directly to the blacksmith shop.
I'm going to see how Kuang Baichi's current progress on bone crystal weapons and steam engine research is going.
After arriving at the blacksmith shop, Ye Qiong stooped and walked in without disturbing Kuang Baichi and the apprentices who were working.
It seemed that the bone crystal had not been refined yet. Ye Qiong ducked and walked out again, and saw the pile of bones beside the blacksmith shop.
Dimai Rong's head has not been completely processed yet.
The bones piled up now are from the trunk and limbs.
But it still looks spectacular.
It had been raining for so long, and it was rare for the rays of a star to shine on the earth. The apprentices here called a few soldiers over, and together they piled all the bones in the wooden shed outside to dry in the sun.
Now on top of the skeleton, you can still vaguely see some scattered red minced meat.
The way to separate the flesh and bones of other monster corpses is to boil them directly and eat the meat.
If you want to extract bone crystals from king-level monsters, you cannot boil them. They need to be raw. They must be dried in the sun and then slowly ground into powder. Then use cold water to extract the bone crystals.
After the powdery bone crystals are extracted, you can use warm water to stick these crystal powders together to form a block, and then continue to dry them for a long time. After they are air-dried again, they need to be ground into powder again.
Once the bone crystal became powder, it became a substance that could be mixed with hot molten iron. After being processed step by step, it became the bone crystal long sword and the bone crystal long bow that Ye Qiong carried on his back.
Ye Qiong walked directly to the pile of bones, picked up a bone and looked at it.
The texture of the earth-melted bones is different from ordinary Warcraft. It has a cold feeling, a bit like jade.
They all looked a bit crystal clear. Ye Qiong couldn't help but think of one thing when he looked at the melted bones.
ivory!
After looking carefully, the colors are somewhat similar, but the feel of the ivory is different.
In the last life, when Ye Qiong was on a mission in South Africa, he touched the tusks of wild elephants many times, and once even killed three poachers with his own hands.
The pile of bones in front of you looks like a small villa. Soon, they will all be refined into bone crystals.
Ye Qiong suddenly thought of something, and inserted a bone in his hand into his waist, preparing to take it back for study.
It's good to keep it as a treasure. After all, hunting Dimai Rong is also a very meaningful thing.
If they were all turned into bone crystals, and they tried to hunt down a Dimai Rong later, they wouldn't know how long it would be before the year of the monkey was over.
The bones in the waist didn't know where the earth's veins were melted, so they were brought back to the laboratory by Ye Qiong.
For a while, Ye Qiong couldn't study this thing, just like the madman's little finger that Ye Qiong chopped off in winter.
Now after it was dried, Ye Qiong put it in a bottle and preserved it. With the current level of technology, there is no way to study it.
After merging the bones with the earth's veins, he found a hemp rope and wrapped it a few times on both sides, and then hung it on the wall by Ye Qiong, temporarily using it as a clothes hanger.
The bones of the monsters with the strength of the late king were just used by Ye Qiong to dry clothes...
After studying soil samples for a day.
Early the next morning, after Ye Qiong got up, he called Dadai over. He rode on Dadai and jumped directly from the west stone city wall, speeding all the way towards the canyon base.
If you go to the canyon base now, there is already a faint path. There is no need for supplies from the tribe at the canyon base.
Basically every two weeks, Kuang Beili will arrange a team of nine people to send back some supplies and food.
In the same way as they did, there are also mountain bases in the north. A small road is formed between the bases and tribes on both sides.
Dadai ran all the way along the path and came directly to the base of the canyon.
After these days of rain, the water source at the canyon base has returned to its peak state again, and the sound of rumbling water waves can be heard from far away.
After entering the canyon base and briefly greeting the soldiers, Ye Qiong's attention was attracted by two ships.
Before leaving last time, Ye Qiong specifically asked Kuang Baili and the soldiers to strengthen the hull of the ship in their free time.
The self-taught warriors gave Ye Qiong quite a surprise.
The two ships were still on the first floor when they were brought back from the rubble base by Ye Qiong.
But now it has become two layers...
Some vines are also reinforced on the periphery, which can provide good protection to the hull.
Ye Qiong nodded with satisfaction.
After getting Ye Qiong's approval, the soldiers were also very happy.
Ye Qiong continued to give some suggestions to the soldiers, and at the same time asked the soldiers to extend an area about five meters long along the side of the ship.
Prepare the location for the steam engine...
Ye Qiong did not explain to the soldiers what the added cabin was for, but explained in detail how to get it.
Naturally, the soldiers didn't bother to care about what they were doing, they just did as they were told. After Ye Qiong left, Kuang Baili immediately led people to start building it according to Ye Qiong's wishes.
After returning to the tribe, Ye Qiong ran to where Mu Yun lived and looked at Huang Ling.
The little girl is still sucking milk, but she is a little bigger.
Mu Yun, who raised two girls alone, received special care from the tribe after Ye Qiong greeted her, so now she looks good, but her body is still a little thin.
After all, there is no milk powder in the tribe to assist in feeding babies, so they can only rely on breastfeeding, which is quite taxing on the body.
Three days later, the caravan began to set off, still led by Yang Jianxin and Tang Li. This time they brought out more supplies.
After all, this is the last time we go out this year.
By the time the caravan returned again, it was already autumn. At that time, the temperature began to drop and everything was depressed. After dormant all summer, the king beast began to get ready to move.
Therefore, Ye Qiong has no plans to send a caravan out during the autumn and winter seasons.
After seeing off the caravan, the next step is the tribe's journey.
It is also the last trip of the tribe this year, and the target location is still at the rubble base.
Ye Qiong attaches great importance to traveling far, so he has prepared a lot of things, including supplies, food, hunting items, various weapons, etc.
But this time, Ye Qiong asked the soldiers to prepare a lot more rafts.
Just when Ye Qiong was busy preparing for the long journey, suddenly...
On the north wall, the sound of horns came.
It's not a sound of warning, but a horn blown when a caravan or foreign humans are discovered.
Ye Qiong put down what he was doing, whistled, called the Mustang King over, and galloped towards the north wall.
