Chapter 286 Bamboo forest, balsam

Lanyunxi sent people to pick up Jiao Zhuomin. It was difficult to walk in the rainforest. Although Tianyun Mountain is not far from Jiaojiazhai, the straight line distance is only more than 200 miles, but it will take at least a few days to get here, and it will be much more convenient if you have black hair.

Renault was not excited about the Jiao Village Master, so he had a good meal and let Lan Yunxi take him deep into the underground world of Tianyun Mountain. It was white. All Renault saw natural asbestos. He could kick out a piece of asbestos cloth if he kicked a few times.

The asbestos resources here are very rich. Just as Lan Yunxi said, even if hundreds of thousands are supplied, millions of people will be enough for clothing. Renault naturally won’t use asbestos as fabric. There are too many of them, and it seems that they can’t be used up at all.

Whether it is hot air or airship, the demand for asbestos cloth is not large. As long as there are several meters of asbestos cloth near the heating port for fire protection, it is enough. The decision to open a sub-base here is to consider that in the future, it may be manufactured in large quantities of hot air balloons and airships, which can not only be used for transportation, but also for combat. The aircraft has too little ammunition load, and it is easy to say that small-scale combat is not only true. If you fight with the Ao people in full, even thousands of aircraft will play a very small role.

It is said that during the peak of airships, a Zeppelin airship could transport hundreds of people and carry dozens of tons of cargo at a time. Of course, this is incomparable to later airships. When the airships had long been replaced by aircraft, the country also manufactured airships that could carry hundreds of tons of cargo.

Renault’s requirements are not high. As long as it can hold a hundred people and a full load of five to ten tons, it is enough. It doesn’t matter if the cargo capacity is small, it’s enough to make up for it with the quantity.

Of course, from the perspective of long-term interests, neither hot air balloons nor airships can be compared with aircraft. They are too affected by the weather and the wind is slightly stronger, so the airship cannot even guarantee its own safety.

After walking around, I found that except asbestos, there was no price here. The God of Wealth had extended the scanning depth to 500 meters underground, and it was still white asbestos. He was not interested in continuing to scan.

Xunren is in his early forties, dark skin and not tall. Although he is a female, he is very strong. He is a peak warrior at the ninth grade, and is enough to be a village leader in the Nanzhang area.

The tone of his speech was a bit weird and he could barely understand it. Renault communicated with her for a moment and knew that life was not easy in Jiaojia Village. There were more than 800 people in the village, and the young and strong men were only in their early 300 years. The rest were all old and weak, and their staple food was fruit. People hunted nearby for many years. It was difficult to hunt large prey in nearby places. It was a standard female tribe.

As the leader of the village, he had to wear a coat, and he lived a worse life than the dry toast he met when he first entered the Nanzhang.

Not only that, the largest toast here is a thousand miles away, and the largest radius is Tong Mancang, which has to be taxed twice a year. People from Jiaojiazhai cannot even feed their own stomachs, but they have to pay taxes, so their lives will be even more difficult.

A few years ago, Jiao Zhuomin discussed with the people in the village that they wanted to join Liuyun, but Liuyun was unwilling to accept it. Tianyun Mountain was too small, and one thousand young people were barely enough. If the people from the Eight hundred Jiaojiao family village were added, it would be too crowded.

As for the protection, Liuyun is also unhappy. He lives a good life, but this kind of life not only requires the elderly and weak to farm in the Tianyun Valley, but also to fight outside.

Tong Mancang is not weak, and he is not as strong as Tong Mancang, and he can only suppress the other party by relying on the remaining combat soldiers.

All stayed at home? That day was not as good as it is now.

Besides, protecting Jiaojiazhai is not of any benefit to Liuyun. What else can I do besides receiving thanks? Tong Mancang collects taxes for all the small toasts within a thousand miles of nearby areas, and his life is just similar to Tianyun Mountain. What can Jiaojiazhai give to Liuyun?

Reno thought for a moment, but nodded and agreed to the merger of Jiaojiazhai into Liuyun Base. The Nanzhang place is not only insufficient resources, but also insufficient population. Reno needs enough manpower in the future. He cannot expect that all people from Da Chu should be used. Everything that can be used should be used as much as possible.

"Master Jiao Village, your Jiaojia Village is too far away from Liuyun, and there are so many people in Tianyun Valley. Let's do this. You and Liuyun both provide some help. Build a new village outside Tianyun Valley and live and work together in the future. If Tong Mancang causes trouble for you, there will naturally be Liuyun soldiers in the Shengong Temple." Renault said. He did not have any extra manpower and time to rescue Jiaojia Village two hundred miles away.

Maybe it was because of the bullying of Tong Mancang. Xiao Chuanmin had almost nodded and agreed without hesitation. He was thinking about how much food there was in the village and whether it was enough for everyone to consume on the way to move to Tianyun Mountain.

"Sir, I captured five warriors." Huya walked in and said.

"Captured five warriors?" Renault and Lan Yunxi were both surprised. There were only five warriors in Nanzhang, so how dare they run around?

Lan Yunxi was not surprised by this, but the nearby chieftains knew that Liuyun's war soldiers were powerful, and even if Tong Mancang did not dare to send people to collect taxes here.

"Have you asked?" Renault asked.

"I asked, and it was said that Tong Datusi sent someone to send a message to Liuyun quickly surrender." Huya grinned.

"Sir, I'll go and see. Tong Mancang seems to be tired of living." Lan Yunxi is not afraid of Tong Mancang, but it is not easy to get rid of Tong Mancang. The great chieftain has many soldiers under his command. The most important thing is that it is Nanzhang here, and there are rain forests everywhere. It is difficult to eliminate the opponent. If you can't beat him, you will get into the forest. If you want to chase him, it will be difficult.

Tong Mancang is also a cruel person. If he is really taken to his nest, he will definitely harass Tianyun Mountain. Most of Liuyun's soldiers are away all year round, and the left-behind soldiers are not enough to defeat Tong Mancang.

After a while, Lan Yunxi returned with a strange expression: "Sir, it is indeed Tong Mancang's person. He said that Tong Mancang had invested in the Hanging Temple of Daxue Mountain."

"Hangkong Temple?" Renault was also confused. In the southwest, the Hangkong Temple in Daxue Mountain is quite famous, but in Nanzhang, few people have heard of Hangkong Temple.

You should know that the Nanzhang area is vast, and even the Great Chu can only stare at it. How many people are there in the Hanging Temple? He actually wants to gather the Nanzhang Tushita?

Besides, just the strength of Nanzhangtusi here, what's the use of gathering it up?

"Yes, it is said that a master came from the Hang Kong Temple, who is the fifth disciple of the Throne of the Wheel Ming, named Dong Xuanzi." Lan Yunxi said.

This Hanging Temple is so powerful that besides Liu Jingming and Di Dingtian, there is actually a master?

It seems that Da Chu knows too little about the Hanging Temple. When he was in Liuyun Camp, Renault spent a long time and could not find the Lengquan. Lengquan is quite strong, much higher than Song Zhe at the time. In addition, he is young and talented, and the possibility of becoming a earth immortal is quite high.

"Old Song, I have to ask you to go there. I'm afraid that Tianye will not be able to catch anyone." Renault said.

"Okay, Mr. Song will take a trip." Knowing that the distance is not far, only five hundred miles, not to mention the black hair, even if he flies by himself, it won't take long. Moreover, there are two secret masters around Renault, and the needles that even he has to worry about, the safety is guaranteed.

Renault sent a team of black-haired flying horses back to the convoy, asking Li Si to turn the direction and not have to come to Tianyun Mountain. He continued to set out towards the forbidden area of ​​Death. He took a few hundred miles away and saved at least a few days.

As night falls, Renault is walking by the small lake in the Tianyun Valley. If you can encounter such a lake in the rainforest, there are not many opportunities. Walking in the rainforest for several consecutive months makes people feel bored. When you watch the small lake at night, you will feel mostly better immediately.

There are several bamboo forests by the lake, which are green and pleasant, as thick as an adult’s wrist, dancing with the wind, making a rustling sound. This is the first time that Renault saw bamboo after he arrived in Dachu.

He reached out and patted it lightly, and felt that the bamboo was extremely tough. He reached out and pulled out the machete from the tiger's body. With one knife, he couldn't cut it off with his arm strength.

"Bamboo...asbestos..." Renault did not continue to chop. Huya took the machete and continued to chop the bamboo. He didn't know what the gentleman was thinking, as if he wanted bamboo, so he cut it.

After cutting more than a dozen times in a row, one of the tiger's teeth was cut off. He had seen the bamboo forest, and such tough bamboo was rare.

Renault waved his hand, and the two old men in the distance came over. They were the elder Liuyun who was arranged by Lan Yunxi to follow his husband, and respond to his inquiries at any time.

"What kind of bamboo is this?"

"Sir, we don't know that this bamboo forest existed a hundred years ago."

"The firewood you usually burn is the branches in the forest?" Renault suddenly thought of this problem. Although there are trees everywhere in the rain forest, there is really not much firewood used to burn fire. The trees in the rain forest have a lot of moisture and are difficult to burn. Along the way, every time the fire is fired, the Fire Head Army has a great headache.

"Of course not. The trees in the rainforest are not easy to burn. The smoke is heavy and not burned. We usually use tree oil. Outside Tianyun Valley, there is a kind of flowing balm, which is an excellent fuel. When burning, not only the smoke is small and the fire is strong, but also the fragrance is fragrant." The old man said.

"Oh? Take it and see." Renault said, taking the bamboo, looking at the broken mouth, snatched the knife from Huya's hand, and cut three times in a row, splitting the bamboo in the same position, taking a quarter of an hour to split it into bamboo strips, and tried it in his hand, and was overjoyed, it was a good thing.

The old man had already brought someone to get the flowing balm. Renault took it and looked closely with the torch. This was a transparent and slightly yellow resin, which was very viscous, but not as clumped as rosin. When you shake the container, you can see that the flowing balm inside would flow slowly.

"Lighten me and see," Renault said.

The old man was a little embarrassed: "Sir, there are not many iron tools in the south palm, and they are prone to rust and easily damaged. We use stone stoves. The firepower of the flowing balm is very strong, and it is ignited directly in the wooden tools, which can easily cause fire."

"Burn less." Renault said, taking a small spoon from the barrel, digging a shallow pit on the ground with a knife, pouring the flowing balm from the spoon into the pit, and igniting it with a torch.

The moment the flame approached the flowing balm, it was instantly ignited. With the night wind, it became more and more prosperous, and the burning was very stable.

It's done, Renault thought to himself!
Chapter completed!
