After crossing over, I was busy with the infrastructure construction in the beast world.

Chapter 224 Discovery of Iron Ore

Since the tribe grows a lot of corn, all tribe members were mobilized to collect corn together.

Cutting corngrass, renovating cornfields, sweet potato fields, hanging corn, replanting corn and sweet potatoes, it took almost another month to finish these.

Ahao and the others still didn't come back during this period, so Su Yue and the others ate food without salt during this period.

The people of the tribe are not used to it. It is true that they have never experienced salt before, but after they tasted the taste of salt, they can no longer quit it now. They just don't know the taste.

During this month, since all the corn was taken back, the clansmen also got some tender corn, and they had another delicious meal of corn cakes.

In addition to the tribal warehouses, every household in the tribe now has food and dried fruits and vegetables everywhere.

Every clansman has a happy expression on his face, full of yearning for life.

Su Yue walked around the field again and found that the ramie they planted was ready to be harvested.

The outer layer of ramie stems has turned dark brown, the leaves have withered and yellowed, and there are black spots on them, which is a sign of maturity.

The inner ramie stalks can be broken with a light movement of the hand, but the outer layer of fibers is still tightly stuck together and must be cut with a knife.

Su Yue cut one with her own hands, checked it carefully, and found that it was really ready to be harvested. The inner layer of the stem had become particularly brittle, but the outer fibers were quite resilient.

Su Yue used % of her strength, but she couldn't break it, so she turned around and said to the people beside her,
"The clansmen can now arrange people to harvest the ramie, which has all matured."

Su Yue's words immediately made all the people in the tribe cheer.

"Really? This thing can really be collected, and then we won't have to wear stuffy and hot animal skins anymore."

"That's right, these animal skins are okay to wear in the cold season, but it's really tormenting in this season.

It is simply that there is ramie now, and I will no longer have to wear stuffy and hot animal fur clothes, haha, I am so happy. "

"Yes, yes, the more I think about it, the more excited I get. I wish I could use it now. This is called ramie to make clothes."

"I think so, too, but how do I make clothes into clothes?

It is so different from cotton, how can it be spun into thread. "

After a clansman finished speaking, the clansmen gradually calmed down, seeing the ramie which was very different from cotton, they also had troubles for a while, and all looked at Su Yue.

So looking at the eyes of the clansmen asking for help, he smiled and walked over quickly to demonstrate to them.

"Use a knife to cut them up from the root, and then pull out the green branches inside, leaving only this fiber..."

Su Yue didn't say anything about the latter, because she didn't know what to do with it, but she knew that she wanted the brown fiber.

Taking advantage of the tribe's inattention, Su Yue exchanged points from the system for information on how to retting.

There are two ways to learn about retting from the information exchanged by the system.

That is water retting and rain dew retting.

Water retting, as the name implies, is to soak all these fibers in water and ferment them for a long time.

The outer layer of brown matter is soaked and soaked, and fibers can be obtained.

The rain dew retting is to spread the whole hemp plant in the field and ferment it through moisture or rain from the sky.

It also achieves the soaking of the outer layer of black skin, and then they can get fibers.

Both methods are more suitable for Su Yue's tribe at present, because they have a large land and abundant resources.

So Su Yue chose an open and quite humid place, spread the hemp there, and carried out the rain and dew retting.

The other hemp was brought directly back to the tribe and several deep pits were dug.

The outermost layer of fibers of hemp is made into a ball, tied with stones and sunk to the bottom of the deep pit.

The only disadvantage of retting now is that it requires a lot of water. If there is less water, the fibers produced will be very brittle, and the tribesmen will break them without wearing them.

Therefore, Su Yue considered this problem when retting, so the pits they dug were all very deep, and the water source was very sufficient.

Since retting will be fermented in the later stage, the water it produces is quite smelly, and it is pungent and irritating to the eyes.

So Su Yue asked the clansmen to dig the pit quite far away from the tribe. After all, the tribe is where they live and must not be polluted.

After getting the ramie back and making arrangements, four or five days have passed, and Ahao and his party still haven't come back.

Originally, Su Yue wanted to wait for Ah Hao to come back to find iron ore together, but in the end she couldn't wait for him.

Now she wasn't worried about the danger of Ah Hao and the others going out.

After all, the people he brought out this time were very powerful. Even if there was any danger, the news would probably have spread long ago.

Also, Ah Hao is not an ordinary person, ordinary ferocious beasts cannot enter his body.

So now they should still be working hard on the third mountain.

Before Ah Hao could wait, Su Yue handed over the tribe to several elders to take care of it, and led the team towards the last direction.

Su Yue led the team and walked northward for five consecutive days, but still found nothing.

When Su Yue hammered her head down and was about to go back home, but she still felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she was always squeezed there, unable to go up or down.

She is not reconciled.

She was really not reconciled, she couldn't believe that there was no iron ore around such a large tribe.

But looking at the endless forest, Su Yue had no choice but to find a tree nearby that was taller than the other big trees, and climbed up with two brushes.

Just take it easy for yourself now, and see what's going on on those mountains outside, what if you get lucky?

Su Yue slowly climbed to the top of the tree, looked up, this look, almost made her fall from the tree in shock.

She was really, really lucky!

In the depths of the mountain loomed a mountain range.

As for why Su Yue was so excited, it was because there was no grass growing on that mountain.

Looking at the past, it is a kind of reddish stone.

Su Yue was so excited that she almost jumped up. She didn't expect that the God of Time Traveling was still on her side. If she guessed correctly, there should be iron ore not far away.

Such a large mountain range is all made of iron ore. If it is made into iron, their tribe will directly enter the Iron Age.

If you want to dominate the world in the future, it will be as easy as pie.

At this moment, Su Yue really wanted to raise the sky and laugh a few times.
