Chapter 45 New Tribes and New Developments

"As for the candidates who will go with you this time, I have already selected them all. At the same time, there are seven wolf warriors and three ordinary warriors stationed there, and I will let some of them stay there. Over there, I'm responsible for protecting the security of the branch city." No nonsense, Luo Ji directly spread out the map and pointed out to Zhou Tao where the branch city needed to be established, "This is the place."

"After the sub-city here is established, your main task is only one, then dig this coal..." While speaking, Luo Ji put the piece of coal he brought back in front of Zhou Tao.

Zhou Tao subconsciously picked up the black stone in front of him, and in the next second he found that the palms of his hands that had touched the black stone were stained with obvious black, "Is this?"

"This thing is called coal, and it's a very important fuel. Simply put, it can be used to replace wood to make a fire. The wolf warrior over there will explain the specific situation to you." Having said that, Luo Ji drank After drooling, he breathed a little, "As for the tools needed to dig coal, I will have them ready to deliver them as soon as possible, and you don't have to worry about the food, I will send a few people to the sub-city every few days. One meal, and at the same time carry the coal dug up back to the Jingjing tribe, of course, if there is an accident, it is really a last resort..."

As Luo Ji spoke, he swiped his finger on the map, "At this location, there are still crop resources in this area, you can dig some white radishes first, it's not far from the sub-city location, what I'm going to say. That's all for now, do you have any questions?"

"Do you set off immediately tomorrow morning?" Zhou Tao planned to confirm the time.

"Yes." Luo Ji nodded earnestly, "You should have felt it too. The temperature has dropped significantly recently. According to this trend, the weather may get colder and colder. As I said just now, this kind of coal can replace wood to make a fire. , it can burn longer and the temperature is higher, so, considering the change of the weather, I want to supply coal in the tribe as soon as possible."

"I understand, there is no problem for the time being. If there is any problem in the future, I will let the person in charge of delivering the ingredients bring the message back."

"Yeah." It was easy to talk to a smart person, and Luo Ji nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing Luo Ji sitting in the tent after Zhou Tao left, the corners of his mouth could not help twitching, and the expression on his face revealed a hint of elation. That is to say, at this time, the other party has officially become a loyal minister whose loyalty has reached 90 points.

As the only member of the whole group with management and development skills, it is obviously a joy to be able to brush Zhou Tao's loyalty to 90 points.

However, Luo Ji wasn't too happy for a long time. There were still a lot of things that required him to be busy. He immediately made a list, confirmed the people who were going to be sent to the coal mine, and then asked them to inform them one by one, so that they could take care of themselves. Prepare.

Under Luo Ji's quick adjustment, everything was so orderly, and the entire tribe's development plan was on track again. At the same time, for the convenience of addressing him, he didn't forget to name the newly established branch city.

Although he is not good at naming names, please rest assured that Luo Ji will not be so careless to give the branch city a random name like 'Coal Tribe', although from the current point of view, the characteristics of this branch city It's about producing coal resources...

In this way, after a little pondering, Luo Ji named this sub-city 'Black Rock', because coal is a black stone, hence the name 'Black Rock'.

I don't know if it's because of Zhou Tao's rich development experience and the role of his talent, the development of the Heiyan tribe went very smoothly.

According to Luo Ji's previous expectations, all the coal that could be picked up or dug with bare hands was picked up by the original tribe. If their tribe wanted to continue to acquire coal resources, they could only expand the mine, and then spend a lot of money. Time to dig slowly.

However, the actual situation is that within five days of the establishment of the Heiyan tribe, Zhou Tao had people come back with a basket full of coal.

To be honest, according to the size of the rattan basket, even if it was full, it wasn't much, but it still surprised Luo Ji for a while, at least it was a good start.

Days passed. During this time, apart from checking the progress of fortifications and farming, Luo Ji spent the rest of his time and energy on the research and development of bows and arrows. However, the development of bows and arrows was not smooth at all...

Looking at another broken bow, Luo Ji frowned slightly, feeling a little bad, "Isn't this okay?"

Rubbing his eyebrows hard, he found that the development of bows and arrows was far more difficult than he expected. The feeling of being stuck in a bottleneck, not knowing how to break through, and finally completely stagnant, made people both irritable and panic.

"Where is the problem?" He basically tried all the materials he could find nearby, but the results were not satisfactory.

Of course, when drawing the bow, if you have a little bit of force, it's okay, but the fluttering arrow is not even half-powerful. It is no exaggeration to say that fifteen meters away, he stood there and let the bow and arrow come over. , the eye may still hurt a little, but if it hits the torso of the body, the arrow will not cause any substantial damage at all except for a little pain, it is completely a piece of A failure!

Grabbing the hair that had become a little messy, Luo Ji tried to find the problem and the cause, but found nothing. In the end, he could only come to the conclusion that 'maybe the material of the bow body is not suitable'.

Well, it is undeniable that he suffered setbacks in the development of bows and arrows. Luo Ji is not a dead brain person. After clearly realizing that this problem cannot be solved in a short period of time, he slowly regained his calm mind. Gently patted his forehead, "Don't worry, take it one step at a time..."

After speaking, he took a decisive step back. In various senses, he has realized that in this era of no long-range attack weapons, he wanted to make bows and arrows as soon as he came up. The meaning of running is, so he now took a step back and planned to learn to walk first.

He quickly picked up the charcoal pen he had tossed around a few days ago, then spread out a blank animal skin and immersed himself in another design drawing.

This time, he didn't draw for too long, and he didn't get too entangled. He almost finished the design in three or two times, and then stretched out his hand in front of the five members of the Ordnance Department, "Leave the research on bows and arrows first. Well, let's do this next."

Recently, some book friends have been urging me to update. To be honest, I was in a bad state during this period of time, with constant minor illnesses. In addition to the release of a new book, the outline, settings, character files, etc. have to be sorted out, so that I can update every day, and my own state is not good. It’s a bit forbidden, but it doesn’t seem to be very good to do nothing. So, let’s talk about the rules for adding updates. It is calculated once a week, and there are 500 recommended tickets plus one chapter (valid before 1 million words), For every 1,000 collections added, one chapter will be added (valid before one million words), and one chapter will be added to the red. That's it for now.
