Chapter 174 Grumpy Overlord Flower + Water Pipe Materials and Molds

Because the whole body is full of treasures, they planted the strange big flower plant that they had dug up earlier in the garden, intending to plant and cultivate it.

Then within two days, all the other plants in the garden withered away as if their energy had been sucked dry, leaving only one flamboyant overlord flower, which became more colorful and leafy.

An Jin then asked someone to plant it in an enclosed open space.

There are no plants around the clearing, a bare piece, only itself.

Bawanghua seemed very dissatisfied with this arrangement, and would often bite those cubs who accidentally walked around, so they received collective complaints from the orcs.

An Jin rubbed her temples, feeling a headache, "..." She didn't expect that this ugly king flower would actively attack people. If it didn't have long legs and couldn't run around, she almost thought it was an orc.

So she asked the orcs at the iron smelting plant to make a large iron cage and put the Overlord Flower in the cage. It started to bite the cage with its sharp teeth.

After starting to feed some fresh beef and mutton regularly, it finally settled down, oh, it turned out to be hungry.

……

Through hard work during this period, the orcs in the ironworks have successfully manufactured five or six thousand arrows and one hundred bows.

The material used for the bowstring is silkworm silk thread and some extremely tough ramie leather mixed in proportion, which is tough enough to break even if used by an extremely powerful orc.

The orcs expressed great enthusiasm for this new type of weapon they had never seen before.

But there were too many people in the city, and An Jin couldn't teach him alone with only two hands and two feet, so he planned to teach Min Yin and others who were closer to him first, and let them teach the next group of orcs, and then keep pushing... …

Two figures, one tall and one short, came to the outskirts of the city by stepping on the soft grass like a carpet.

What broke into the field of vision was still the familiar jungle, the yellow-green branches and leaves rustled in the wind, and the bright sunlight passed through the dense branches and leaves, casting fine mottled spots on the slightly damp dark land.

The air is filled with the refreshing natural grass and trees, and the crisp or muffled chirping of insects and birds is one after another.

The primeval forest exudes exuberant vitality, it is always so easy to give people a triple enjoyment of immersion in sight, hearing and smell.

"Shusha~" The low bushes and ferns trembled from time to time, and small animals with flaws were faintly visible, trying to cover their figures with dense weeds.

The two randomly picked a piece of land and stopped. An Jin raised the bow and arrow in his hand, and picked out an arrow from the wooden quiver on his back and handed it to Mi Yin together.

"That's it, fasten the bowstring with your thumb, and pull it back hard..." An Jin demonstrated to him the use of the bow and arrow with his own hands.

Compared with the experience of teaching Xi last time, teaching Mi Yin was obviously much easier this time, and of course it may be because of their different talents.

Mi Yin has already learned it within two times. Snake beasts are no better than fish with a seven-second memory. Their memory is well known.

He opened the bow and arrow in his hand, with a lazy and cold expression on his face. His long fingers clasped the arrow tail and stretched it backwards. His long and beautiful finger bones were slightly tinged with meridians, and the joints were pale with tension.

The strong perception of the snake beast allows him to be keenly aware of all the wind and grass around him without looking too much.

All living creatures trying to hide their bodies have nowhere to hide in his eyes.

"Whoosh -" The sharp arrow came out of the bow and instantly hit a green-horned beast a hundred meters away. With a short wailing sound that was too late, the prey was nailed directly to a big tree behind it.

The arrow penetrated through the green-horned beast's neck, and then pierced the sharp head into the rough tree trunk, smearing a large area of ​​dazzling scarlet.

Before the two of them rushed over to pick up the prey, they heard a crisp snap, followed by the dull sound of trees falling to the ground.

——The sturdy blue-horned beast smashed a shallow hole in the ground together with the broken wood.

An Jin, "..." This is too heaven-defying, it's just an ordinary arrow, and it looks like a cannon in Mi Yin's hands.

This disparity in power is really unfair.

She pouted.

"It's really not bad." Mi Yin showed a satisfied smile, easily rolled up today's prey with the black and red snake tail, and dragged it home.

The meat on the neck of this kind of prey is very tender and delicious. It can be made delicious for Hao Jin'er again tonight.

"Obviously the same teaching method, you can learn it much faster than Xi. You have just learned it for a while, and your skills have already surpassed mine." An Jin sighed, but she was genuinely relieved.

"Huh? Exactly the same teaching method?"

Min Yin suddenly stopped walking, held her hand, turned his head and lowered his eyes towards her face, her jawline was tight.

The red pupils contained a bit of incomprehensible coldness, "Have you ever done that kind of intimate gesture with that fish?"

This kind of close distance can only be enjoyed by a partner. Accepting that wolf is already his greatest tolerance. At least Ling Hong has the strength to be of use to him.

But that fish has nothing but beauty, and nothing else except seduce the male's rump with that disgusting gesture from time to time.

It is absolutely impossible for Min Yin to accept Xi as her partner.

"What? Companion? An intimate gesture?" An Jin didn't realize it at first, thinking that this rogue snake was thinking about that kind of thing again, her face flushed, and she later realized that she was teaching Xi how to shoot an arrow. .

She smiled and poked his stern handsome face, "What are you thinking? Why are you so jealous?" Because of the way he held her with his arms, An Jin could easily hook his slender arms with one hook. beautiful neck.

Resting her chin on his sunken sexy neck, An Jin put her fingers on his chest, and said in a lazy and gentle voice, "I'm just teaching him archery. To teach the other orcs of the Horde."

"You can't use my posture to teach other people." Obviously the most rogue is the snake himself, but he is still posing as a moral high ground.

"Chi~" An Jin couldn't help laughing at his serious and harsh posture, and couldn't help but want to tease him, her thin white and soft fingers gently drew circles on his tight and sexy chest muscles.

"What, are you angry?"

She asked amusedly, her clear eyes were raised up, her slightly raised lips were red and alluring, exuding a sense of pure and lustful bewitchment.

"I, I didn't, I will never be angry with you..." The man's face quickly turned red and hot, he lowered his head and held her restless little hand, his breath was heavy, and his chest had abnormal rapid ups and downs .

An Jin blinked in confusion.

"You are not well yet, and I don't want to..." His Adam's apple slid slightly, and his hot and slightly hot breath sprayed in her ears, and his voice was somewhat suppressed and forbearing.

The fingers that landed on her slender waist rubbed gently restlessly, and he couldn't help but lower his head and bite her lips, grinding a little bit, but reason forced him not to deepen it further.

"..." The numbness spread from the ears to the whole body, and An Jin's body became a little soft.

Soon, she felt the changes in his body and his strong desire, so she quickly stopped her teasing mentality.

It will be her who is unlucky if she keeps going through this.

Min Yin's expression became clear again, and she breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't ignore the vague regret in her heart.

Ever since he had a partner, he had tasted the joy of knowing the taste, and he really couldn't bear her teasing.

The two returned to the wooden house before dark with the prey they harvested today.

Through these days of hard work, An Jin successfully taught several of Ling Hong and a dozen other beasts to use bows and arrows, and then asked them to teach other orcs.

In this way, the orcs' learning ability and hands-on ability are very good. Soon, most of them will be able to master the skills of using bows and arrows.

……

The heavy rainy season has passed, and the cold season will come in less than 10 days, and it will become extremely difficult to get water by then.

Construction of water pipes must be promoted on schedule!

This will be an unprecedented innovation in the beast world.

"Of course we all support you, but we can't guarantee what other orcs think in private."

Taking advantage of the time for chatting after dinner, Ling Hong turned his head to her and put the dishes on the table together, "Jin, you should let them know why this thing was built? After all, according to your description, it will be a waste of time and effort." It is a big project, and everyone has never seen this thing before, so it is inevitable that they will have doubts.”

"That's what I'm worried about these days." Casting water pipes is easy to say, but it's not as easy as talking about it to plant such a new thing in the hearts of the orcs.

So the next morning, she gathered all the orcs in the city in the square, on the one hand, to educate them on the necessity of water pipe repairs, and on the other hand, she could brainstorm to fix some loopholes in her thinking.

Most orcs agreed anyway.

Through the past few years of progress and retreat together, they have fully realized the wisdom and foresight of the patriarch. As long as she is willing, they will spare no effort to help her complete this magnificent construction.

But some orcs still have doubts. After all, the cold season is about to begin. Although there is enough food stored in the warehouse, they still like to go out to hunt and stock up on food during this time, in case they encounter another crisis in the cold season. what to do?
They have been hungry since childhood, and they don't want to experience the pain of starvation anymore.

In the concept of the orcs - if you can save more food, save more food.

Moreover, they have been accustomed to this working mode since they were young. They don't feel tired or strenuous when going to the river to fetch water. It just takes a little more rest time.

Repairing this water pipe, which they had never heard of, would make the orcs feel like it was unnecessary and thankless effort.

"I've finished what I have to say. Those who want to follow me to repair the water pipes are welcome to participate. If you don't want to, you can continue to go hunting." An Jin said.

"Um... Patriarch, we should go hunting, just in time to try out our new bows and arrows." Several orcs walked out of the crowd with hesitation in their voices, as if they were afraid that she would be unhappy.

"Yes." An Jin didn't feel angry, "Whether it's hunting or repairing water pipes, you are making a contribution to the tribe. There is no good or bad, just follow your own heart."

"Patriarch, let us build water pipes with you. We have enough food in our house, and we can't fill the warehouse." More orcs are still willing to serve her orders.

An Jin nodded, satisfied, and then took the orcs who were willing to repair the water pipes to the iron smelter.

……

The reason why she put forward the policy of repairing the water pipe so late was because she had been looking for materials for the past few days.

——Which material should be used to make the water pipe?
Her first thought was bamboo.

The bamboo forests in the Beast World were tall and slender, often tens of meters long. They could be cut down and hollowed out to be used as water pipes, but then she thought of the serious corrosive problem.

First of all, Sheng'an City is located in a semi-humid and semi-plain area, where bamboo resources are not well developed, and the soil tends to be humid.

And during the ferocious and terrifying heavy rainy season every year, heavy rain and strong winds can easily overturn the land, exposing the bamboo pipes buried underground.

Once the bamboo tube is exposed to water and air, it will be easily corroded. Even if the skin is protected with oil, its service life will hardly exceed 10 years under the harsh environment of the animal world.

Now that he has made up his mind to repair the water pipes in the city, An Jin, who is born with perfectionism, must do it to the extreme and do his best!
What she wants is not just a few years, she wants this city that embodies her hard work and energy to continue to operate and develop even after she grows old and leaves.

——It is hard enough, not easy to corrode, and can withstand the ravages of the rainy season.

iron!
Iron from the iron smelting plant.

An idea flashed in An Jin's mind.

In fact, the metals she called "iron" were not the iron she had known before. Most of the materials in the beast world were different from those of Blue Star, but because it was easy to remember, she often used similar names instead. Beast world stuff.

After all, the melting point of iron is thousands of degrees, while the melting point of "iron" in the beast world is only more than 400 degrees, so the difficulty of smelting is much smaller.

Moreover, once the ordinary iron element is exposed to the air, it is easy to undergo oxidation-reduction reactions to generate various iron oxides, which is the usual red rust.

Once rust occurs, the rust will quickly spread and corrode, causing water leakage and collapse-this water pipe is basically over.

However, the free state of "iron" in the animal world is very stable in nature. Even if it is exposed to air for a long time, it is difficult to be oxidized and reduced by other elements in the surrounding environment.

It is simply the best material for casting water pipes.

To use "iron" to cast water pipes, you first need a cast iron mold, which can unify the length and thickness of the water pipes and facilitate connection.

"This is a picture I drew some time ago. You can find a big rock around you. It's better to be taller than a person, but not too big..."

An Jin took out a piece of animal skin paper on which the design draft was drawn with charcoal sticks, searched around, and then landed on a smooth marble not far away, "Just that stone! Move it here, and follow this A drawing is carved into two stone tubes, one thick and one thin."

"Yes!"

The orcs carried the heavy marbles as they were told.

An Jin handed over the drawings, gave some instructions, and left.

They finished it that afternoon and moved the stone pipe to the stone house for her to check.

——Two hollow stone tubes, one thick and one thin, but the same length.

Put the two stone tubes upright, and then put the thin stone tube into the thick stone tube, just enough to leave a gap of suitable width.
