It turns out that this is a brick! ←Everyone in the Changhe Tribe.

Fuck, is this still a brick? ← Wu Nuo.

It is no wonder that Wu Nuo felt such emotion. The bricks fired from the super-sticky mixture have a bluish-black appearance and are as smooth as jade. When viewed from a distance in the sun, there is hidden water flow, just like sapphire.

The tiles are thinner than bricks, and have a stronger sense of clarity after firing. They emit a faint blue light in the sun, which looks like glazed glass from a distance.

An orc came out of the kiln with the tiles in his arms, and stared blankly. He didn't notice the hurdles under his feet at all. He tripped and tilted his body, and the tiles in his hands flew out instantly. The orc's face turned red with fright, and his feet He fell softly to the ground, his elbow landed almost at the same time as the tile, and then hit it hard.

It's over, the orc's mind went blank, and he was extremely annoyed. However, the expected cracking sound did not appear, but his elbow was sore. The orc subconsciously looked at the pain, and saw the glass-like blue tiles The four corners are slightly sunken in the mud, and they are completely "inserted" on the mud floor, still shining brightly in the sun.

The other tiles that had been in close contact with the stone, without exception, were all safe and sound.

The hardness of the beautiful and fragile tiles is completely beyond everyone's expectations, including Wu Nuo.

Wu Nuo did not expect that the hardness of the fired clay would become so 'terrible'. He walked over quickly and picked up a tile. The first feeling he took was that it was slightly sinking and cold, because the process of making the brick Rough and unskilled, the surface of the tiles is not as smooth as imagined, but it has a delicate touch like jade. When you tap it lightly, it immediately makes a crisp jingle like gold and jade. This kind of sound can only be found in the best tiles.

Wu Nuo took out the system brand fruit knife he carried with him and scratched lightly on it without leaving any marks. He gradually increased the force until he used seven points of force, and the sharp knife tip left a faint trace on the tile. pale white marks.

The system brand fruit knife is forged from pure steel and is very sharp. Usually, the force is enough to penetrate three points with the tip of the knife, but it can only leave a shallow mark on the seemingly fragile tile, without hurting the tile itself.

Thin tiles can do that, but what about thicker bricks?

Wu Nuo asked an orc to hold a brick in front of him. After firing, the size of the brick shrank slightly from the original, but the weight hardly changed. The mass of the 'ultra-sticky mixture' itself is much greater than that of ordinary clay, and the bricks fired are also extremely heavy, weighing nearly 60 kilograms a piece. Just looking at the appearance, it is impossible to tell that it is so heavy.

Compared with glazed tiles, the thick green and black bricks can hardly see the jade color when viewed up close, but compared with ordinary bricks, they have a more glaze feeling, delicate and cold to the touch, comparable to uncarved bricks. of jade.

Wu Nuo flexed his fingers and tapped on it a few times. Unlike the crisp sound of tiles, the sound of bricks was thick and deep, with a sense of weight.

Wu Nuo made another slash on the brick with a fruit knife, directly using 100% of his force, but did not leave the slightest trace on the brick. Wu Nuo really wanted to see if he could leave some traces on the bricks if he stabbed the knife hard into the bricks, but he didn't want to give up his precious fruit knife, so he picked up a sharp-edged stone and tried it instead. Try, the result is that the corners of the stone are broken and cracked under the strong impact, leaving a thin layer of rock ash on the surface of the brick. Wu Nuo brushed off the dust with his hands, and the brick below was not even affected by the slightest bit. received.

As well-informed as a great witch, after seeing Wu Nuo's experiment, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"Wu Nuo, do all of your Yanhuang tribes use this kind of bricks and tiles to build their houses?" Da Wu asked curiously.

Wu Nuo shook his head and smiled, "Of course not. Our tribe doesn't have such a unique place as the Land of the Dead. We can only use the most common clay to make bricks and tiles, which are far less hard than these blue bricks." The

big witch thought for a while and said : "When I was traveling abroad, I saw some super tribes who used wood as shields to resist enemy attacks. Do you think we can use clay from the land of the dead to burn shields?"

Wu Nuo has to admit that there are really differences between people. This kind of difference is not something that can be changed if you grow up in an environment that is more advanced than others, but the difference caused by experience, vision and status.

He was just thinking that maybe he could try to use this kind of clay to make pots and utensils, but Da Wu had already thought of using this kind of clay to make shields to enhance the defense and combat capabilities of the tribal warriors.

Stand upright.

For a moment, Wu Nuo felt that a certain corner of his heart was shaken by something. For a long time, there seemed to be something more in Xiaofu Jian's mind, but that feeling was fleeting. Nuo didn't even have time to savor it carefully.

It wasn't until a long time later that he realized that at that moment, what was planted deep in his heart was a seed called ambition.

"...There shouldn't be any problem. You can try it next time when you fire the kiln."

The old witch nodded, then thought of the upcoming trade fair, and said to Wu Nuo: "Maybe, we can also try to burn kilns." Make some beautiful necklaces, and let Awen and the others wear them to the gathering, there will definitely be many female orcs who like them."

It is human nature to love beauty, even for primitive natives who are not fully clothed, and female Even more so.

In the Changhe Tribe area, both pure humans and orcs like to string necklaces of unique bones, stones, beautiful feathers, and scales around their necks. The better the look, the easier it is to attract the attention of the opposite sex.

And in some super tribes that Dawu has visited, the materials they use to string necklaces are more abundant, and the necklaces they make are more beautiful. There are even people who specialize in selling necklaces in the tribal fairs. Representing status, sometimes, a string of beautiful necklaces can be exchanged for one or even several ordinary slaves, which is not insignificant.

As for the Changhe Tribe, the level of affluence is far from being comparable to those of the distant super tribes. There are almost no such people who specialize in selling necklaces at the rally, and Dawu doesn't mind being the first to eat crabs.

Of course, the Dawuhui had this idea at the first time, and it was also because a lot of work was delayed in order to grow white sweet potatoes and then to fire bricks and tiles. In addition, the hunting situation this year was more severe than in previous years, so that The trade items prepared are only 60% to 70% of what they were in previous years. If there is no other way, not to mention other things, I am afraid that there will not be enough coarse salt.

Wu Nuo didn't dare to underestimate the wisdom of the great witch in the past, and now he is even more admiring, nodded and said: "This method is good, I will entrust the task of firing jewelry, and I promise to make a necklace that women like! "When Wu Nuo first set up a street stall, he sold ceramic craft ornaments, all kinds of beautiful necklaces and bracelets, and he just grabbed a lot of them in his mind.

At the moment when Dawu and Wu Nuo were "discussing a big plan", the orcs carried out all the bricks and tiles in the kiln one after another. Although it was the first time to fire the kiln, there were many deficiencies in all aspects, but the raw materials were good enough, only a few dozen One tile was burnt out, and although the remaining bricks and tiles occasionally burned not so perfectly, they were enough to build a house.

During the firing of the kiln, Wu Nuo arranged for people to build two more earthen kilns in adjacent places. Because he already had the experience of building the earthen kiln once, the excavation of the earthen kiln was much faster this time, and it was all completed yesterday. The second batch All adobes and tiles are also made, and the surface moisture is dried before being calcined in the kiln.

With the bricks and tiles, the matter of building a house was immediately put on the agenda.

Wu Nuo is the only person who has seen what a house built with bricks and tiles looks like. At the same time, he proposed and led all things. His contribution and dedication are obvious to all.

Therefore, the whole tribe headed by the great witch and the leader agreed that the first batch of fired bricks and tiles should be given to Wu Nuo to build houses first.

There are still hundreds of residents waiting to build houses with bricks and tiles. As the first person in the tribe to build a house, Wu Nuo is also embarrassed. Modify and adjust the original idea one by one - the kitchen is combined with the storage room, the toilet is combined with the bathroom, the living room and the dining room are combined into one, and the originally planned three bedrooms, under the strong "suggestion" of the big cat, also become got a room.

When Wu Nuo was in elementary school, one year during the summer vacation, he and his grandparents went to live with relatives in the countryside for a while. It happened that the neighbors of relatives were demolishing and rebuilding their houses. No matter how they warn you, they like to go to the construction site to build a house and play around. I have to thank him for being ignorant when he was a child. Wu Nuo still has a little impression of the small farmyards built by the adults at that time.

First of all, the foundation needs to be dug, and then filled with stones, carbon slag, sand, etc., and then the walls are slowly built with bricks. Capped.

Wu Nuo still has a rough impression of the most basic steps, but if he is to draw the real design, where to build walls, where to put columns, how long should the purlins be, and how to make rafters, Wu Nuo is really serious. I have no clue. He didn't really grow up in the countryside. Although he often went to the countryside to play and live with his grandparents when he was a child, but when he was young, he didn't pay attention to the structure of the small farmyard. After the death of his grandparents, he kept Staying in the provincial capital, I haven't even been back to my hometown, let alone the countryside.

After such a long time, Wu Nuo really couldn't remember the correct structure of the small farmyard.

People without thought, he must worry about.

This time, Wu Nuo had a rare 'foresight'. After taking advantage of the loopholes in the system and learning the correct way to make tile molds, he ordered a wooden structure model of a small farmyard with Wang Sanhu early.

Rao is Wang Sanhu's superb carpentry skills, and he asked other craftsmen to help, and it took several days to get Wu Nuo a large wooden structure skeleton model that is half the height of a person according to the small yard of Wang Xiucai's house in the village. .

As before, Wu Nuo did not buy the model, but used every night to enter the trading system to observe and learn carefully. Because the system forbids cultural exchanges between planes, Wu Nuo can only figure it out slowly by himself. No matter how smart Wu Nuo is, he is a layman after all. Without any reminder, the difficulty can be imagined Know.

If it was for the task at the beginning, after listening to and seeing the tribal residents' expectations for the new house and the sacrifices they made, Wu Nuo told himself that he could only succeed and not fail.

After spending several nights, Wu Nuo finally drew a house design that couldn't be simpler on the parchment.

After the foundation of the house was filled in, there were only three days left before the tribal trade fair, and the warriors and big witches of the tribe had already left the tribe with the trading supplies early.

Wu Nuo handed over the drawings to Xing. Before that, he had already dictated to Xing all the things he had pondered over, and repeatedly explained the drawings to Xing in detail many times.

As for the extent to which the star has comprehended and the extent to which the house can be repaired, it can only be left to God's will.

No matter how much he couldn't let it go and was not reconciled, Wu Nuo had to carry the leather backpack full of jewelry and luggage, and embarked on a journey to the Muyuan tribe.

But it's only three days, even if they don't rest day and night, even the orcs who are the best at running in the Changhe tribe can't reach the Muyuan tribe as scheduled.

In the Changhe Tribe, Bai was probably the only one who could reach the Muyuan Tribe within three days.

"Are you ready?" The chubby big cat raised his head, his eyes were calm and serious. Uh, it's just that the tail is wagging a little more cheerfully, well, probably more than a few ︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿ "...ready."

In Wu Nuo's expectant eyes, a silver light glowed all over Bai's body, a dazzling light Next, the chubby big cat cub rapidly grew longer, taller and bigger, with huge silver wings growing from its back. The wings spread suddenly, and a high-pitched roar of a tiger pierced the tranquility of the morning, deafening like a boulder hitting everyone's hearts, scaring everyone. The pure people's faces turned pale, and the orcs turned back into animal shapes one after another, roaring as if they were facing an enemy.

Just at this moment, the sun slowly climbed over the horizon, and the first ray of sunlight fell, accompanied by the early morning breeze to disperse the lingering silver light and golden light around Bai, Bai showed his first appearance in front of outsiders for the first time. Three forms.
