Primitive Tribes: Starting with the Name Daji

Everyone is very familiar with it.

Water distillers and kitchens are common examples.

However, this furnace is slightly different from the previous ones; Su Che has shaped it like a coal pit underground.

Firewood no longer burns on a flat surface.

Instead, it burned in the pit that Dudu had just dug.

Su Che's stove was set up over that pit.

Afterwards, Su Che had Daji light a fire and used the high temperature to completely petrify the clay furnace.

Next.

But that's not all.

Su Che then brought over some more wood and used mortise and tenon joints to create a rectangular frame.

The mortise and tenon joint is a connection method that uses a combination of concave and convex joints on two components.

In ancient times, this structure was used to build wooden houses or other wooden buildings, eliminating the need for any nails.

Su Che could actually use this structure to build a wooden house, but while mortise and tenon joints sound simple, once the craftsmanship becomes complex, the structure itself becomes more complicated.

This is something that even Su Che himself found difficult to make.

It would be even more difficult to teach it to others.

Therefore, Su Che chose the easier bamboo and wood house.

But what he needs to do now is simply make a mud brick mold, nothing complicated.

Daji, Heling, and Dudu.

They watched Su Che, who was tapping and grinding, completely unaware of what he was doing.

After the last mud brick mold was made.

They remained confused.

Then, Su Che poured the mud-like soil into the mold.

After patting it neatly with a piece of wood, I set it aside.

Daji looked at Su Che with a puzzled expression.

"What are you trying to do by turning the soil like this?"

"I need to make mud bricks so I can build an iron smelting furnace. I need a lot of mud bricks, so all of you can help me!"

Because it's only in the experimental stage.

So Su Che didn't invite Ah Li and Sparrow.

After all, they had to teach other tribesmen how to refine salt, so they didn't have much time to make mud bricks.

Fortunately, this job doesn't require much technical skill.

Even someone as dim-witted as Daji could accomplish this.

After that, Su Che made two more mud brick molds and had the three of them learn from him to make mud bricks one by one.

The sun is shining brightly now.

It will dry quickly if placed in the sun.

After the 803 is dried, it is put directly into the clay kiln and fired at high temperature.

The principle is the same as making a ceramic pot, except that it is made into a rotating shape.

After a whole day, they finally made about sixty mud bricks.

The main problem is that the clay stove is too small.

The number of bricks fired at one time is relatively small.

But Su Che wasn't in a hurry. Iron smelting was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

Although not much was completed.

The three animal-eared girls were always dealing with mud, and their bodies were covered in mud.

Even the seemingly pure and holy river spirit was covered in mud.

The white animal skin garment was already dirty.

Su Che wasn't much better off; his face was covered in mud.

The group returned looking disheveled, and Ah Li couldn't help but laugh when she saw it.

"Where did you guys go today? Why are your faces covered in mud?"

Daji blinked and said:

"Su Che said he wanted to make some kind of furnace? Anyway, he wanted to make tons and tons of clay blocks! We've already made so many~~~"

Ah Li knew that Su Che was definitely making something magical again.

He greeted her verbally:

"Su Che, you guys go wash up quickly! I'm starting to prepare food. You can eat when you're done washing up!"

Su Che nodded.

It really needs a wash.

Seeing He Ling go into the water, Su Che couldn't help but ask:

"Where did you get this white animal skin coat you're wearing?"

"Haven't you been a vegetarian since you were a child and never killed any living beings?"

He Ling was taken aback, glanced at the mud-covered animal hide garment, and replied:

"I don't know, the clan chief gave it to me after I came of age."

Su Che was slightly taken aback, somewhat unable to believe it:

"Did you wait until you were an adult to wear animal skin clothing? You... didn't wear it before? What if you encountered another male?"

“In that place, there were only the chief and I. We could see some wild beasts, but we never saw any other races. It was only after I came of age that the chief said I needed to wear animal skin clothing before I could leave. So, this is the only thing the chief gave me.”

This made Su Che very curious about that place.

"Where exactly do you live? Just the two of you? Is it some kind of secluded paradise?"

After all, she is a legendary being.

Whether it's a bud or a sparrow.

When I saw her, it was like seeing something incredible.

Based on Su Che's understanding of unicorns, they are indeed not an ordinary species.

Even in mythology.

Those all represent holiness and good fortune.

Such a race must live in an incredibly fantastical place!

What does "Shangri-La" mean?

He Ling looked at Su Che strangely.

"It's probably a place... where there's no pain, no strife, only joy and happiness!"

“The place where I live with the clan chief is indeed free from pain and strife. I feel very happy and joyful, but I don’t know what that place is like for the gods.”

"So you should remember the way back, right? When will you take me to see it?"

"If Your Excellency wishes to go, I can take you there, but it's not as lively as here."

"It's alright, it's a paradise! If it gets too lively, it won't be a paradise anymore."

"Yes! If Your Excellency wishes to go, I can take you there right now!"

"I can't go now, I have important things to do! We'll talk about it later!"

"Alright! Whenever Your Majesty wishes to go, the River Spirit will take you!"

At this moment, Daji immediately came over.

"Daji wants to go too!"

“Okay! If we’re going, I’ll bring you, Ahri, and Tamamo-no-Mae with me.”

At this moment, Dudu jumped up.

"Can you take me next time? You guys were out for so long, I was so bored in here!"

Su Che glanced at Dudu and deliberately said:

“You’re so young, I’m worried you’ll become a burden to us.”

Dudu wasn't angry; she simply said:

"I can dig a tunnel and follow you. Underground, I'm definitely faster than you!"
