I have a cave of evil

The cold winter came a week earlier than Zhu Yao expected, and the time suddenly tightened.

There are not enough houses in the tribe. At present, only two houses have been built. They are built by accumulated logs, and the gaps are filled with mud and straw. They are about [-] square meters. They can provide shelter from wind and rain, but the effect of keeping out the cold is limited.

"According to what you said, a fireplace was built on the back of the wall to replace the previous indoor bonfire. The heating effect has not changed much, but the indoor smoke has indeed decreased a lot."

Zhu Yao inspected the house, and Kenny followed behind to explain.

"The brazier still needs to be prepared. The temperature of the fireplace alone may not be enough. This winter will come early, and it may be even colder. We must prepare for the worst. How about the wood reserves?"

Kerney said: "It should be about the same. There are bronze swords. If we want wood, we can go to the forest to chop a batch at any time and bring it back. There are zombies who are responsible for transporting it. It doesn't take much effort."

"Should be more or less." Zhu Yao glanced at Ke Ni coldly, "Such words will not be said in the future. You are the only carpenter and architect in the tribe, and precision and exactness are synonymous with you. In the future, you will teach Many apprentice carpenters and construction skills, do they always say that it should be, almost?"

After several times of life and death, Zhu Yao's demeanor gradually became colder and colder. At a glance, Knitton felt startled and panicked, and said in fear: "Yes, you are right, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."

Zhu Yao snorted coldly, thinking that it would be fine to hit this far, since it would easily make people feel resentful.

While Zhu Yao was recuperating from his injuries, Santa took charge of the tribe, but Santa knew nothing about mortise and tenon joints or construction, so he simply delegated power to Kenney for management. For a while, Kenney became a powerful figure in the tribe.

When Zhu Yao came back, Kenny was obviously floating, and after several rounds of beatings, he returned to his original state.

While speaking, a thick smoke rose from the southeast corner of the village, soaring upwards, very conspicuous.

Zhu Yao looked around and saw thick smoke coming from the top of a conical building with a height of one person. The building looked like a tomb from a distance, with wet mud on the outside and three vents below, exposing the uneven firewood inside. , and there is an opening on the top of the building that is about the same size as the vent, and the flames can be seen faintly, and it is from here that the thick smoke comes out.

With a happy expression on his face, he walked to the side of the building, looked carefully, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong, he nodded and said to the woman beside him with muddy hands: "When the flame in the charcoal kiln burns to the bottom, that is, when it reaches the vent, you must Quickly seal all the vents and top openings, leaving no gaps, understand?"

"Master Priest, don't worry, isn't it just paste mud? My small tow card can do it, it's easy." The woman grinned, pinching and twisting her hands, and the mud in her palms turned into mud balls, and she stuck them on the ground with her backhand. on his son's face.

Little Tuoka was squatting on the edge of the mud pit, and he was stunned for a long time by the sudden blow. Looking left and right, he couldn't find the murderer. "Paji" sat on the ground and began to cry.

Zhu Yao's eyelids twitched, and he thought that the method of beating the child was skillful enough, comparable to the hunting team's method of throwing stones.He coughed lightly, and continued: "When the mud on the outside is dry, you can remove it, take out the charcoal inside, and give it to me as a priority at that time."

Toka's mother promised: "Leave it to me, don't worry!"

At this moment, Kenny asked cautiously, "Priest Agudu, what is charcoal?"

"The things left by the incomplete combustion of wood." Seeing that Kenney was still confused, Zhu Yao explained: "It's sometimes the black residue under the campfire."

"Isn't that gray?"

"Big chunks."

Kenney became even more confused, "Isn't burning this thing a waste of firewood?"

Zhu Yao said patiently: "It's not the same. With this method, the moisture in the firewood can be removed, leaving only the burnable part. Usually when we burn firewood, there will be choking smoke and a pungent smell. It doesn’t matter if it’s time, the place is big, the air circulation is good, and the feeling is not strong. After a few days of living in the house, the house will be full of smoke and smell, which will cause great harm to the human body.”

"Since the moisture in the charcoal body is burned dry, there is no smoke and odor when burning, and the fire speed is fast, so it is suitable for indoor use."

Having said that, Zhu Yao actually had no idea.He learned it from watching short videos, and he just wanted to have fun at the time, but he didn't expect it to be really useful.

This kind of charcoal kiln is disposable, with firewood stacked inside to form a cone, dry weeds are pasted on the periphery, and then wet mud is pasted layer by layer. When the charcoal finally comes out, the outer mud has to be removed.

Now that it is done, it is more of an experimental nature. If it is really successful, it means that such a structure is no problem. Let Kenny use bricks to build a commonly used one.

The charcoal kiln has come out, and the brick kiln similar to the charcoal kiln is not far away.

Kenney suddenly said: "No wonder you asked me if I have enough firewood, so I need to burn charcoal."

"On the one hand!"

Zhu Yao casually replied that if he remembered correctly, charcoal can also be used in metallurgy, producing pig iron with fewer impurities, which is suitable for producing high-quality steel.

Click on the charcoal-burning technology first, so that you can quickly enter the Iron Age.

After walking around the village, seeing that nothing happened, Zhu Yao drove Ke Ni away, spread out the latest map drawn by Santa, and fell into deep thought.

Santa went out twice, the first time he found out that the west side of the tribe was a grand canyon, with steep terrain and fast-flowing water, which isolated the tribes of Bloodhead and Warcry; Not to the end.Between the two, the southwest direction is the direction they fled from.

The east and the north, I still don't know what it looks like.

But these two times coincidentally, Santa was not there, the first time he encountered the night attack of Wutu people, and the second time he encountered the madman attack, it was a hard fight, and Zhu Yao didn't dare to let Santa start again Explore the map now.

"Winter is a big problem for the Wutu people. Their construction level is low, they can't build houses to keep out the cold, and they are used to living in caves, but this is only suitable for small tribes. Big tribes will fight against neighboring tribes and plunder food. At the same time, it consumes the winter population and reduces the material loss in winter.”

"Let's go to war..." Zhu Yao had a flash of inspiration, and he swipe his finger on the map: "Now there are three Wutu tribes with hundreds of people around the tribe, the Dark Sun tribe, the Greenskin tribe and the Fortress tribe. Crusade, this year the Bone Tribe is among them."

Zhu Yao's face changed color, and he sketched on the map for a moment in disbelief, confirming again that the Corpse Tribe is between the three, and if the three start a war, this is the best battlefield.

Zhu Yao smashed the table in frustration, and cursed: "There is no time to stop!"

Panting for breath, he stared at the map, "For the current plan, we can only act first."
