The concept of coal was naturally popularized by Ye Qiong. Like many things in the tribe, such as steam engines, Ye Qiong asked Tang Ying to translate it according to the original voice.
It’s okay, Ye Qiong is also teaching Tang Ying Chinese characters. The characters used in the Ye Qiong tribe are themselves hieroglyphics. Tang Ying’s caravan and the Ye Qiong tribe belong to the same tribe, so they use Tang Ying learned Chinese characters very quickly for the same type of writing.
Ye Qiong has always felt that tribal writing has a bit of oracle bone inscriptions...
It's a pity that Ye Qiong doesn't have any research on this aspect. It feels a bit similar, but there is no comparison now, so it can only become a guess.
For example, the writing of the Na Ning tribe has nothing to do with hieroglyphs, but is a kind of writing similar to musical symbols. This kind of writing was directly invented, unlike hieroglyphs, which evolved and can be traced back to their origins.
This feeling is like Ye Qiong's last life in the earth's technological age, when he came to a deserted island and met some primitive tribes who had language but no writing. Based on their language, he directly helped them invent a writing .
This phenomenon is very common. Many human groups only have their own language for daily communication, but no writing. This means that the level of civilization must not be high, and knowledge cannot be recorded and can only be transmitted orally. According to legend, there is nothing wrong with having enough food and clothing, but it is obviously impossible to develop civilization.
The forest apes might have their own unique language. If someone could invent a language for them through the voice of the forest apes, this species, a close relative of humans, might be as successful as humans.
While Qing Zhi was puzzled, Ye Qiong's eyes were also fixed on the black stone held in Qing Zhi's hand.
It looks like...
It seemed to be quite similar to coal. Ye Qiong squatted down and took a piece. The moment he took it, he immediately eliminated coal and even this series of derivatives.
Not a weight at all.
It is much heavier than coal, which means it has a high metal content.
After squeezing it hard, Ye Qiong was basically sure what it was, and at the same time, he began to feel a little excited.
nice one!
Tungsten ore!
When the word "material" appeared in Ye Qiong's head, Ye Qiong immediately thought of the weapons and armor piled up outside, which were basically black in color.
When he first entered here, Ye Qiong saw the black weapons and armor and knew that they were made with something different from iron.
Now Ye Qiong finally determined how those black weapons and armor were obtained.
It was during the creation that these tungsten ores were added. Tungsten ores have a wide range of uses.
For example, tungsten filaments, those thin wires in light bulbs, are made of this!
With tungsten ore, alloys can be made, and even special alloy steel can be made, that is...
barrel!
No wonder those black armors have such strong defense. Tank armors are also made of special alloy steel.
Maybe the configuration ratio is not that perfect, but it is definitely enough to defend against the claw attacks of some ordinary monsters.
With the tungsten ore, as long as the magnet is found, Ye Qiong is sure to get the light bulb out, and then he can directly light up the empty space on the left.
Although no copper mine has been found yet, there are veins of gold to the north of the central tribe!
In this place where gold is not yet currency, there is no need to worry about using it. It can be recycled and reused anyway.
"You seem to be very happy. What is this thing? It's so heavy. It's much heavier than those coals. Hey... it doesn't seem to fade..." Qing Zhi put the piece of tungsten ore in her hand on He stood on the ground, looked at his fingers in the direction of the torch and said.
Looking at Qing Zhi's movements, Ye Qiong nodded and said with a smile: "Well... it is indeed a good thing, not coal. This thing is called tungsten ore. Judging from the color, the content is quite high."
Coal is relatively black, and these tungsten ores are a darker gray-brown color. Now that the light of the torch shines out, it feels almost the same as coal.
If it is under incandescent lamp or star light, it can be easily distinguished. This is also when Ye Qiong first looked through the hole, he also thought it was some coal.
"Oh? What's it for?" Qing Zhi continued to ask, with a curious look on his face.
Now Qing Zhi's interest in learning has been ignited by Ye Qiong, and she maintains a very strong curiosity about the new things in Ye Qiong's mind.
Ye Qiong threw back the tungsten ore in his hand, clapped his hands and said, "The weapons and armor outside are made of this stuff mixed with iron. In addition... many useful things can be made. "
Qing Zhi's eyes immediately brightened up: "Can we also make a long bow like the one used by Xinka and the others?"
After Ye Qiong heard this, he was immediately stunned.
Then he shook his head: "No..."
The longbows used by Xinka and the others were made of memory metal, and were one or more levels more difficult to make than the weapons piled up outside.
Ye Qiong had determined that the weapons used by Xinka and the others were not from the Waterfall Cave. At first, Ye Qiong didn't think much about it and thought they were the same. After all, the colors were similar.
After actually trying it, I found that they were completely made of two materials.
This also made Ye Qiong more and more curious about where Xinka and the others got their weapons...
According to Qing Zhi's description, it was the tree house palace, and the top wooden house was also a forbidden area for Xinka and his group.
Neither Qingzhi nor Qinglie had ever gone in, so Ye Qiong naturally couldn't go in either.
Although he was very curious about what was inside, out of respect for Xinka and this ethnic group, Ye Qiong certainly could not break in forcefully or sneak in quietly.
The back of the wooden house is directly connected to the trunk of the big tree. It's hard to say how much space there is inside.
Judging from the information that Ye Qiong has now obtained, the ancestors of the Na Ning tribe and the Na Ning tribe did have differences. Some tribesmen entered the Dinglong Mountains and took away some forest apes.
The remaining tribesmen stayed directly at the waterfall, and Xinka and the others followed the tribesmen who stayed.
As for when they were exterminated due to the plague, it is difficult to speculate at this point in time, so Ye Qiong's current guess is that the weapons used by Xinka and the others were strengthened later.
In other words, the civilization of the ancestors of the Naning tribe who stayed here at the waterfall has developed to the point where they can produce memory metal.
Of course, this is still Ye Qiong's own speculation, and there are no real clues yet.
There is also another possibility...
Those are the weapons that they got back from outside after some of the tribesmen left.
If it was made before some tribesmen left, it means that the technology has already taken shape. There is no reason that the Na Ning tribe does not have this kind of weapon. The forest apes in their tribe do not have to worry about whether to choose melee combat or to be an archer. They can directly practice both!
Perhaps it was these foreign weapons that triggered a series of tragedies.
