Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland

Standing here and looking down, her space is particularly beautiful, like a paradise.

Mo Xiaonian took a rest and then walked up again.

She wanted to walk all the way to the top of the mountain and overlook the panoramic view from there. It should be even more beautiful, and maybe she could even see farther away.

By the time Mo Xiaonian reached the top of the mountain, he was already exhausted and out of breath.

When she was down there she hadn't realized how high the mountain was.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, she can clearly see the fields she has planted and the workshops that are scattered around. Looking further into the distance, there is a thick fog that envelops all these areas, making people feel particularly magical.

The mountain breeze blew across my cheeks, bringing with it coolness and the fragrance of grass and trees. A huge cloud slid across the sky, casting a slowly moving shadow on the vast land.

Along with the sound of the wind came the sound of gurgling water.

Mo Xiaonian turned around with some surprise.

She is now standing on the top of a mountain, where does the sound of water come from?

Mo Xiaonian walked forward again.

This is the other side of the mountain. Now the mountain area she has opened up has reached the other side, but it is only a very small area.

This area was completely different from the south side of the mountain. There was almost no vegetation, and the mountain was a reddish-brown color. When she walked down from the top of the mountain, she smelled a faint stench.

Mo Xiaonian felt it was a little strange.

The south side of the mountain was a thriving scene, but the north side seemed like a barren land with no grass at all. The smell in the air gave her a particularly strange feeling.

A light bulb went off in Mo Xiaonian's mind.

Could it be that... there is a sulfur mine on the north side of this mountain?

This assumption is actually a bit bold, but the more Mo Xiaonian thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

Unfortunately, there are very few open areas on the north side of the mountain, and only a small part of the terrain is exposed, which does not allow Mo Xiaonian to make an accurate judgment. She tried to dig the soil around the top of the mountain, but did not find any sulfur mines.

However, Mo Xiaonian still felt particularly excited.

Such strange landforms on the north side of the mountain must be hiding unknown treasures. The most important thing she has to do now is to unlock this large area on the north side of the mountain.

The progress in her space was so fast because she and Fu Cang had rescued many people during this period of time. If she continued to rescue people in distress at the current intensity, then this large area in the north would be able to be opened soon.

Mo Xiaonian waved his fist vigorously, stood on the top of the mountain and howled a few times like Tarzan, then returned to the real world full of energy.

Fu Cang was working in the office in the administrative center. Mo Xiaonian knocked on the door and walked in.

"Fu Cang, has Xiao Tu come back?"

Fu Cang looked at her strangely, not understanding when she became so concerned about Xiao Tu.

"Not so fast. He has only been gone for six days. We agreed to communicate every seven days to report his location and findings. He should be able to send back news tomorrow."

"Oh, then I'll wait a little longer. By the way, Fu Cang, can you send me a few soldiers? Saltpeter is needed to make black gunpowder. I want to take them to the bank of the Qiyu River to see if we can find stones containing saltpeter in the river."

"Wait a moment. After I finish approving this document, I will take two people with you. I am also interested in that saltpeter and want to see what it looks like."

Finding saltpeter was not a difficult task for Mo Xiaonian. He took Fu Cang and five soldiers to the riverside of Shangqi Yu River and wandered around for an afternoon. He really found a lot of stones containing saltpeter.

While waiting for everyone to come back, Cang Lu happened to come over to look for Fu Cang.

"Chief, the blast furnace is now built and can be used tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."

Mo Xiaonian also followed behind Fu Cang.

The built blast furnace looks very majestic. Because it uses raw materials provided by Mo Xiaonian, it is particularly flat and smooth.

This blast furnace is the tallest building in their tribe. In order to hide it, Fu Cang found a place in an open space in the middle of the dense forest. However, even so, the blast furnace still stands out high and can be seen from a long distance.

When the blast furnace was still under construction, many people came to see it.

Fu Cang saw that this was not going to work. The blast furnace was still their secret, and if more people knew about it, it would not be a good thing for their tribe. So Fu Cang drew a cordon within a two-kilometer radius around the blast furnace, had soldiers build fences, and sent soldiers to guard the area, thus preventing people from coming in casually.

Warehouses and workshops were built next to the blast furnace, and two charcoal furnaces and two logging sites were built a hundred meters away.

These things are all supplied to blast furnaces, and a lot of them have been produced now.

With Fu Cang's order, the blast furnace was put into use. The huge blower made according to the drawings provided by Mo Xiaonian was operated by ten people together, and billowing black smoke rose above the blast furnace.

Mo Xiaonian suddenly felt a little guilty.

Such a big furnace produces so much smoke that it destroys the ecological balance here!

When the first ingot of pig iron was produced, Fu Cang ignored everything else and ran back home holding the cooled pig iron, and placed it solemnly in Mo Xiaonian's arms.

Mo Xiaonian had never seen Fu Cang so excited before. His eyes were sparkling, and there seemed to be twinkling stars in them.

"Xiao Nian, this is the first pig iron ingot produced by the blast furnace. I want to give it to you. Although it is very ugly, this is the first time that our tribe has produced pig iron with your help, and we have also found an iron ore belt.

I know that without your help, I would never be able to accomplish these things in my lifetime, so now I believe that you are really the goddess sent by God to help our tribe!"

Mo Xiaonian patted Fu Cang's shoulder somewhat embarrassedly.

"What goddess? I am your wife! Although this piece of iron ingot is a bit ugly, it is indeed commemorative. I will accept your gift!"

Fu Cang hurriedly hugged Mo Xiaonian again and ran back.

The blast furnace produces an endless supply of iron ingots, and Heron can start leading the craftsmen to make weapons and armor.
