To be honest, copper is a material that is not suitable for forging.

Compared with iron, copper is much tougher.

It's like the copper wire being twisted a few times and then being straightened.

But many wires break after twisting for a few turns.

If the iron wants to be shaped, open or bent, it needs to be heated.

But as long as there is a suitable mold, the copper sheet can be directly pressed into a basin.

Therefore, compared to the molding of iron and copper ware that require repeated tempering, it is more appropriate to use casting methods in this era.

It is precisely for this reason that it is very difficult to create a copper barrel with copper ingots.

Although Wang Er learned to find a stone that was temporarily used as an anvil without a master, it was still very troublesome to operate it.

After a whole day, the bottom of the copper barrel was connected by less than one-third.

And it's just one-third of the place, and there are four or five holes.

Such a difficult task not only did not defeat Wang Er, but instead made him even more excited.

It means that the more intense you resist, the stronger I am.

After going back at night, everyone found that the women in the collection team were full of excitement and seemed to be much happier than usual.

But everyone who had been tired for a day quickly fell asleep and did not know much about it.

After two days of comparison, Wang Zhuang chopped wood several times faster than others, and this matter could not be hidden no matter what.

Gradually, everyone knew that he had a tree-cutting artifact and a bronze axe in his hand.

Only at this time can everyone have a definite understanding of the work they do.

The thing you burn yourself is called copper.

This kind of copper can be used to make copper axes. With the copper axes, the speed of chopping wood can be increased by three times.

Everyone has no idea of ​​multiples, but they know that Wang Zhuang cuts more trees for one day now than in the past three days.

At this moment, many people gathered around Wang Wei and hummed, and said openly and secretly that they also wanted a copper axe.

Only Wang Yue did not gather around to join in the fun.

He held a golden knife in his hand, and with a little force, the tough bamboo was chopped open.

As early as yesterday, Wang Wei handed him two bronze ware.

A knife, an awl.

There is a barb in front of the awl, which is used to tighten when weaving bamboo baskets.

These two things are now regarded as treasures by Wang Yue.

With it, the speed of weaving bamboo baskets by yourself can be increased several times.

Wang Yue learned the word multiple. After all, I heard Wang Wei teach it several times, but now I am still dizzy and can't understand it.

It's like he has a concept of twice, three times, four times, or even ten times.

He can't understand what the only meaning of double is.

I caught a deer today and a deer tomorrow. What I caught today is twice as high as tomorrow, but what I caught tomorrow is twice as high as today.

What a mess, isn't the two meanings the same?

Without thinking about Yidou's worries, Wang Yue focused on weaving bamboo baskets.

For him now, with this knife and awl, it doesn’t matter whether he wants a copper axe or not.

Especially for him who has learned multiples.

There is only one copper axe, but he has two copper tools. If we count it, even if Wang Wei gave each of those guys a copper axe, then his copper tools would be twice as many as theirs.

Thinking of this, Wang Yue couldn't help but laugh and hid the awl under her butt even tighter.

When you don’t even have copper axes, my number of copper tools is twice that of yours. It’s easy to see who Wang Wei is good to you without thinking about it.

The emergence of the copper axe has increased everyone's enthusiasm for smelting copper several times.

The first time everyone, who was sighing and feeling like they were busy working, felt that this was doing something big.

A big thing that is a little smaller than hunting, and a little smaller than the little finger.

The emergence of bamboo baskets has increased the enthusiasm of the tribe's people several times in their work efficiency.

If you travel once, you can only bring three or five copper ores at most.

Now, just one trip is worth seven or eight trips before.

The inconspicuous bamboo basket increased everyone's speed by five or six times, and also accelerated everyone's hunger by two or three times.

Fortunately, everyone is smart now with Wang Wei.

Just eat half of the food you get in the morning and get half full.

When I really can't stand it at noon, I take out the remaining things in the morning and don't have to bake them, and I can fill it directly into my stomach.

With bamboo baskets, a few things are indispensable.

It's also a leather mat.

Paste on your shoulders to avoid bleeding from the straw rope.

I just used a bamboo basket, and everyone doesn’t know which animal skin mat is better. Some people say that grass pigs have the best skin, while others say that snake tail green-skinned dragons are the best.

As the first pioneer to carry a bamboo basket, Wang Xiong's words are naturally the most authoritative.

When Wang Xiong was wearing pig's skin on his left shoulder and dragon's skin on his right shoulder, he had a day after walking, and he summed up a truth.

No matter what skin you put on, it is better than not putting on animal skin.

In addition to the shoulder-padding animal skin, another thing is a wooden stick.

The bamboo basket is very large and contains a lot of ore.

If it is piled tightly, it can hold two hundred kilograms of ore at a time.

If you carry more than 200 kilograms of ore on your back, it means you have been walking on with two beautiful girlfriends for a long time.

Even if it is a primitive man who is much stronger than the earthly people, it is impossible for him to breathe and not rest all the way. After all, Wang Zhuang only has one in the tribe.

But it is difficult to put down the heavy bamboo basket on the back, and I can't sit down even if I want to rest.

So at this time, a wooden stick with the 't' shape is indispensable.

The wooden stick was held on the ground on one end and the bamboo basket was placed on the other end, taking the force off.

At this time, even if you just stand, the people who transport the mines will feel relaxed.

In addition to these two things that must be brought to transport mines, some tribe members also brought kettles.

This is done by Wang Wei, and only three have been made so far.

A green bamboo tube with the tip of the top is very smooth.

A round piece of wood is stuffed into the bottle to prevent the water from spilling in the bamboo tube.

The middle part of the bamboo tube is tied with a straw rope and hung on one side of the bamboo basket.

When I walked up, the green bamboo tube swayed, and a faint sound of water came from inside.

The three tribe members who grabbed the kettle were very proud.

Especially when we were resting halfway, others stood and talked on wooden sticks.

They took off the kettle, pulled out the block, took a sip of boiling water that was actually cold, and finally breathed like drinking boiling water. Looking at the envious eyes of the people around them, the feeling was so exciting.

Walking on the road, Wang Xiong was thinking.

Wang Wei is obviously a little brat who has not even grown all the hair, so why do we suddenly listen to him?

This question has been thinking about it in his head for two days.

He didn't wake up until he saw those tribe members drinking the water in the kettle and others looked envious.

Because I don’t know when, everyone suddenly became in need of Wang Wei.

At the beginning, everyone needed Wang Wei to teach them to create traps so that they could catch prey and fill their stomachs.

Then, everyone needs Wang Wei to make a bronze axe for them.

As long as you have a copper axe like Wang Zhuang, who can cut trees in the tribe be as fast as you can in the future?

Even now, everyone needs Wang Wei to make a kettle for them.

Although you can make such a simple kettle yourself, the mouth of the kettle made by Wang Wei is smooth and has no burrs, and is much smoother than the kettle worn by others.

Although the uses seem to be the same, everyone would rather wait than grind a kettle by themselves.

Another trip to ore was transported.

Wang Xiong and the others squatted there to rest and drink water.
