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

Mo Xiaonian sat in the carriage and looked around.

The place is now heavily guarded, with a large group of soldiers stationed here all year round, and absolutely no outsiders are allowed to enter or leave.

The day's work has begun in the iron ore mining area.

This kind of work was really torturous. No matter whether it was the soldiers or the prisoners captured last time, after working for a while, they all became lazy and gathered together, hammering on the rocks listlessly.

Seeing Fu Cang coming, these people became more alert and their movements finally gained some strength.

Fu Cang shook his head in distress, and was at a loss as to what to do about this matter.

Mo Xiaonian thought it was normal.

She is like this when she is working, but if you think about it carefully, you can still come up with a solution.

Fearing that the surrounding soldiers would be injured during the rock explosion, Fu Cang evacuated all of them to a safe distance, then nervously approached Mo Xiaonian.

"Xiao Nian, just tell me what to do, and then you just get out of the way. Leave the rest to me."

Mo Xiaonian pretended to be relaxed and patted Fu Cang's shoulder.

"Okay, okay, I know more about these things than you do. Look, let's start with a small dose. I'll find a location for you, and then you can place the explosive pack. This fuse is this long, it's a completely safe distance, so you don't have to worry."

Fu Cang nodded, and placed the explosive pack in the cracks of the iron ore rock as Mo Xiaonian said.

When igniting the first explosive pack, Mo Xiaonian was also very nervous.

It was windy today and the flame of the tinderbox was too weak and would be extinguished by the wind.

Fu Cang glanced at Canglu, then took out a lighter from his treasure bag and lit the fuse while watching Canglu's shocked expression.

Fu Cang took Mo Xiaonian and Cang Lu and quickly hid behind a large rock. Then he stuck his head out and watched the fuse spark and burn shorter and shorter, and finally ignited the explosive pack.

With a loud bang, black smoke rose into the sky.

The loud noise startled everyone. The soldiers all looked at the place in surprise. They watched helplessly as a large piece of the extremely hard iron ore rock was blown away after the loud noise.

The sounds of "wow" came one after another, but Mo Xiaonian was very dissatisfied.

This dose is obviously too little.

So she changed to a larger explosive pack and asked Fu Cang to stuff it into the gap.

Fu Cang was very excited.

It was the first time he witnessed the power of black gunpowder, which was much more powerful than he had imagined. He even thought about how terrifying it would be for the enemy if this black gunpowder was used on the battlefield.

The second explosive pack was even more powerful than the first one, but this time Fu Cang stuffed the explosive pack deeper into the crevice of the rock. Although the power of the explosion was much greater than the previous one, it did not blow down the entire rock.

Mo Xiaonian looked at the third explosive pack with some heartache, and said to Fu Cang: "I regret it!"

"Ah? What are you regretting? The effect is so good. Look, there is such a big gap. If there is another explosive pack, this huge rock will definitely be blown apart.

You know, if we rely on manual labor to mine such a large piece of iron ore, it would take ten workers two days to do it."

"I don't regret that. I regret that we didn't control the dosage well. Look at this piece of rock. If the dosage was a little bigger, the whole piece would be blown down. Now, we are wasting materials."

Fu Cang rubbed Mo Xiaonian's shoulders soothingly.

"Don't think that way. Just leave this piece here. Two more workers can chisel it off with a few strokes. This way, there's no waste of material.

We leave this rock here, and the next explosive pack is bigger, right? Let's try another rock, maybe this time the dose is just right, and we can successfully blow this rock down in one go."

Mo Xiaonian felt comforted, nodded, and ran straight to the next rock.

This time the dose was just right, and the rock was blown off in one piece.

Mo Xiaonian pumped his fist excitedly.

"Oh yeah, that's it. This dosage is just right. Fu Cang, did you see it? In this way, we can reduce the number of workers in this mine, and the amount of iron ore mined every day will be huge."

Fu Cang also felt particularly excited, and his face flushed slightly.

"It's amazing! This black powder is really amazing! Heron, did you see it?"

Fu Cang turned to look at Cang Lu, only to find that he had become completely stunned, with a bloodstain on his face.

"Cang Lu, what's wrong with you? Did the flying gravel hurt your face? Why didn't you dodge?"

Cang Lu finally reacted after hearing Fu Cang's question, and suddenly grabbed Fu Cang's hand with an excited look.

"It's amazing! It's really amazing! I didn't expect the black powder you made would be so powerful! Oh my God, I'm so excited!"

Fu Cang shook his head helplessly.

After more contact with Cang Lu, Fu Cang realized that this person was extremely stubborn. No wonder there were so many skilled craftsmen in their tribe.

Now that the dosage has been mastered, the next stage is to produce large quantities of black powder according to this measurement.

Yuelu had previously organized a number of women to build a workshop, and had been producing soft armor, clothes and shoes for the army. Now they had an additional task, which was to make fuses and wrappings for explosives.

Now the pressure is on Mo Xiaonian again.

Black powder is indeed easy to use, but the amount of sulfur required is also huge.

If she only relied on purchasing from the space mall, she would not be able to earn that much sulfur even if she worked herself to death.

So now all my energy is put into unlocking the back mountain.

The prescriptions that Mo Xiaonian prescribed for the patients that Xiao Tu found were particularly effective. After taking the medicine, within two or three days, those people's illnesses were mostly cured.

Xiao Tu saw that these people had basically returned to normal, and Mo Xiaonian had ruled out the suspicion that they had contracted an infectious disease, so he took these people back to the tribe with confidence.

This time, more than seventy people were all strong men, and they were all recruited into the military camp by Fu Cang.

After this period of development, the population of the Moonfall Tribe has exceeded one thousand, and the number of troops has increased from less than one hundred to three hundred.

Now, as Fu Cang looked at his army which was growing in size, he felt a sense of satisfaction and an urgent desire to grow and develop further.
