Chapter 19 Iron Ore
"What are these, aren't they just a few broken green stones?" Hu Shaoqin looked at Liu Qianyu and asked doubtfully.
"This thing is no ordinary stone!"
Dashan also walked up to Liu Qianyu at this time, and squatted down with Liu Qianyu to touch these dark green "brains".
"What else could this be if it wasn't a stone? Could it be a gem? Even if it is a gem, it won't be of any use here!"
"I know this thing. Our family used to have a book introducing common minerals. This thing is on the first few pages of the book. It happens to be the few pages that I can keep my curiosity and read it." Liu Qianyu said.
"Oh, it turns out you know this thing, so stop pretending and explain to us all what it is. Why don't I see what's special about it?" Liu Qianyu urged.
"Why are you so anxious? Why didn't I realize you were so curious before?" Liu Qianyu said angrily.
Hu Shaoqin scratched his head in embarrassment, and then said: "Hey, hey, it's a good thing for people to be more curious. This shows that I will always maintain a warm heart towards the outside world, and that I will always face life positively and optimistically. Have an endless desire to explore!”
"Ugh... come on, come on, let me finish my words quickly, otherwise you will disgust me to death before I finish my words."
Liu Qianyu felt very uncomfortable that Hu Shaoqin suddenly used such a disgusting tone and said such disgusting words, so he quickly interrupted him.
"This thing is actually a type of iron ore, which can be used to smelt iron. Although we currently have no very efficient way to utilize this thing, I believe that in the near future, this thing will definitely be of great use. Useful.
And I just observed that this place is simply a large natural iron mine, and the iron content in it is very huge, and it is estimated that it will be enough for us to use it for hundreds of years."
Liu Qianyu looked around and said.
"Let me go, what are you talking about? It turns out that this thing is iron. Come and let me see it. I have never seen wild iron ore... No, I have never seen iron ore that has not been smelted and processed."
Hu Shaoqin came over and picked up a small piece of loose iron ore from the wall and played with it in his hand.
"You can keep this piece. If one day we really master the technology of smelting iron, we want to try it with your small knife." Liu Qianyu said with a smile.
"No, I still want to use this small piece of iron ore as a commemoration. After all, this is the first piece we got after discovering iron ore. This is very commemorative and valuable. Maybe one day this iron ore will be mined." The value of the ore has increased, and I was asked to find an independent water source on our deserted island."
Hu Shaoqin said with a silly smile.
"Pfft... Then I advise you to stop thinking about it as soon as possible. This kind of independent water source did not exist in the past and does not exist now. In the future, it is probably still early, and it will definitely be after we master the iron smelting technology." Liu Qianyu Said confidently.
"Hey, from your tone, you sound quite confident. Then I'll wait and see when you build an iron mine and let me use stainless steel menus.
The two days of peeling tropical fruits have driven me crazy. If you can give me a large stainless steel menu, I think it can reduce a lot of unnecessary labor output." Hu Shaoqin said with a smile.
"Okay, stop waffling. Our team members are still waiting for us. The best we can do here is to explore. It's still early to actually use the iron frame."
After Liu Qianyu finished speaking, he walked outside.
And the rest of the people followed him out.
"Who knows..." Dashan whispered to himself with a smile.
"Everyone, drink some more water, pack up and get ready to go."
After Liu Qianyu and others joined the few people who stayed in the chimpanzee's "warehouse", they worked together to move all the remaining food out of the warehouse.
While carrying food, everyone also discovered weapons that the chimpanzees had stolen from their camp.
After taking everything away, everyone set out on their way back.
When passing by the pool, Liu Qianyu took another deep look.
This place is the beginning of a huge plan in Liu Qianyu's mind...
When we returned to the camp, it was already evening.
Liu Qianyu called everyone together and said he wanted to announce something. Everyone put down what they were doing and gathered around.
I saw Liu Qianyu clearing his throat.
Then, he said loudly: "Everyone has experienced a lot recently. I think everyone is very tired, both physically and mentally, and some may even be desperate. I believe that everyone who can survive until now Everyone, no one is weak in life, you have proven yourself now."
"Moreover, I, Liu Qianyu, also promise that I will definitely make everyone's life better. This time we defeated the chimpanzee group and allowed us to harvest a lot of food.
And the biggest good news is that we have discovered a freshwater resource through chimpanzees. The output of this freshwater resource is very large. Therefore, our current drinking water problem has finally been completely solved, but if we want to live a better life Well, I believe it’s not enough to be content with the status quo.”
"Therefore, I have a plan. This plan is very long-term. With our current strength, we will definitely not be able to achieve it. However, I have divided this plan into several small goals. I believe that as long as we all work together, we can make a difference. If we are high, we will be able to achieve these goals one by one and overcome all difficulties one by one."
"Boss, what is our first goal?" Someone suddenly asked below.
"Well, this is also related to the water source we found, because that water source is too far away from us, and we can't go so far to get water every time we use it.
Therefore, I plan to design a project to divert the water from that water source down, or use some pipes we can make to connect the water source from that place to us. If we can realize this, then we You can use it..."
“Tap water??!!”
Someone below had already heard the meaning of Liu Qianyu's words, so he shouted excitedly.
"Oh my God! Do we always have running water??!"
"This is so exciting, haha!!"
