Chapter 373

Sharpening knives and axes is a simple labor that almost all men can do.

However, when you polish knives and axes, you will use stones to beat and rub each other. However, the whetstones prepared by Xu Chen are unique. They are several bluestones of different thicknesses that he specially found on the mountain. They are also simple to deal with, so they look relatively flat.

First, I used the roughest bluestone to grind on both sides, then replaced the finer bluestone to grind. I replaced three whetstones before and after. As he continued to water and polish, the thick and dull axe mouth gradually became sharp.

"It's almost done!"

Xu Chen watched while polishing, and from time to time, he would gently scrape the axe blade with his thumb and feel the sharpness. Finally, he saw that the axe blade had turned into a thin white line, so he stood up with satisfaction.

Turning his head and looking around, he found a small tree as thick as an arm grows beside the pergola, so he carried the axe over.

The eyes of a large group of people fell on Xu Chen.

"You are the only one. I'm so angry here, so I'll try my axe with you!"

Xu Chen said as he swung the golden axe and slashed it down with a thrill.

"Click~"

The small tree as thick as an arm broke and fell to the ground with a thud.

“Wow!”

The dozens of people watching instantly exclaimed, and many people were so stunned that they could stuff a big duck egg into it.

Xu Chen had no feeling at all. He quickly raised his axe and looked at the blade carefully. He found that it was smooth and sharp, and was intact except for some traces of juice.

It's finally successful, it's so hard!

Xu Chen felt the circles of his eyes hot, and tears of happiness almost rolled down.

Although he had already felt the strength and sharpness of the bronze alloy when polishing, he finally felt completely relieved until the axe was actually chopped down.

The quality is exactly what he wants.

Even if it is not as sharp and domineering as the pure steel axe in later generations, it is not an exaggeration to call it a magical tool in this primitive and wilderness era.

"Chenga, let's take a look!"

A group of kiln smelters rushed over and shouted with excitement on their faces.

Xu Chen smiled and nodded and handed the axe to a closest guy. The guy looked at the heavy gold metal axe for a few minutes, looked around, and soon found a target. Another small tree as thick as a calf, not far away, so he carried the axe and ran straight forth.

A large group of people immediately followed him.

"Hi!"

The kiln worker swung a round axe and cut down heavily at the tree.

With a click, the axe fell deeply into the trunk.

“Wow!”

The onlookers instantly heard a violent exclaim and commotion.

This axe cut nearly half of the small tree with its feet as thick as a calf.

"Gaga, get out of here!"

The kiln worker excitedly pulled out the axe, changed direction and slashed it hard again.

"Click~"

The second axe fell down and the effect was immediately seen. The tree fell down with a loud bang. The treetops several meters high collapsed and hit hard on the wet ground that had just been drizzled.

“Gaga, awesome…”

The kiln worker Yangtian, who was carrying a big gold axe, burst into laughter and howling wildly.

"I'll try it!"

"I gah, I gah!"

A group of kiln workers and smelters reached out to grab the axes from their companions, and then a large group of people took the axes and looked for small trees everywhere in the kiln factory, just like a group of wild animals.

Accompanied by the sound of gnawing and chopping and falling down, seven or eight trees of all sizes around the smelting workshop were soon killed and died under this golden axe that could be called the creation of the world.

Even the dragon couldn't help it. After snatching the axe, he looked around and couldn't find the tree. The target actually chose a door post that was originally installed at the entrance of the kiln factory. He raised the golden axe and ran over, swinging his arms around and slashed it hard.

The gate shook violently, and the walls were trembling. The onlookers let out a burst of exclamations. As the dragon finally roared and kicked the door post hard. The door post, which was more than one foot or two meters in diameter, broke and collapsed with a loud bang. Even the gate wall hit the wall, almost buried the people watching.

"Wuga..."

The burly dragon like a hairy bear, roared with a golden axe.

Such a sharp axe made him feel a sense of excitement and excitement that he had never had before, which was even more enjoyable than piling with a group of women.

The onlookers were also frightened by the dragon's violent logging movement, and after a moment of quietness, they also burst into a shocking cheer.

If you use an ordinary stone knife and axe, you will have to cut dozens of times if you chew it.

A calf is about a hundred and a hundred.

A tree as thick as a thigh is usually calculated in half a day, and it will be cut into two or three trees a day. If the branches are still cleaned and cut into several sections, two trees a day cannot be more, and maybe several stone axes will be damaged. Even if the stone axes are not damaged, the bark and handle of the tree bark that binds the stone axes will often be loose.

Therefore, in Xu Chen's eyes, the primitive man cut trees and the grinder were completely different from that of a mill.

They cut for a while, sat down and grind the stone for a while, or they would slowly re-bound the loose axe handle.

Typical stumble-style production gives Xu Chen an urge to feel pain.

Even though hundreds of pieces of wood were used before and after the convention, they were all piled up slowly by the number of people and time, and had nothing to do with efficiency.

Of course, these savages are not born to like fishing when working, but because of the conditions, the production tools are simple, and they will inevitably develop this kind of habit of slowly working in their long-term production and life. They can't get faster even if they want to.

Just like the savages sleeping as soon as it gets dark, it is not that they really want to sleep, but that there is no entertainment and no lighting conditions, so going to bed early becomes a habit.

But since Xu Chen invented the spinning and weaving cloth and pine-ming pottery lamps, the tribe's nightlife has actually become much richer. Then Xu Chen occasionally tells some nice stories, makes some fun toys, and teaches children to play the willow flute and sing. The sleeping habits of the Ba people have also changed a lot, especially in summer, they often sit on the cold bed and chat until late at night before going to bed reluctantly.

After inventing the rope, the stone axe and swords were bound to be much stronger, which also improved a lot of work efficiency. However, the tied things were not as strong and durable as the axe handle installed on them.

At present, this bronze axe that emerged from nowhere completely subverted the cognition of all primitive people.

With the blessing of the dragon's violent power, this gate post tree, which usually took several hours to slowly grind, collapsed in just two minutes.

With such efficiency, how can we not make everyone excited and surprised?

After cutting down nearly ten trees of all sizes, the axe was still sharp and strong, with no sign of damage or looseness.

This is a magical tool!

After the dragon roared, he ran to Xu Chen with great strides, knelt on one knee and held the golden axe in front of Xu Chen with both hands, and said with surprise and excitement: "Your Majesty the Witch King, the Wu tribe is willing to exchange today's copper for this axe!"

"Moga!"

A group of Wu people's faces changed color in an instant, and they surrounded them with a whirring sound, and some even shouted loudly to snatch the axe back.

Such a powerful weapon, the Ba tribe has not yet been warmed up, so how can the Wu tribe be the first to take the lead?

Xu Chen said with a dark face: "It's not busy changing the axe, you can compensate me first!"

dragon:……

A group of kiln workers and Ba people also woke up at this time, pointing at the dragon and yelling to compensate the door. The dragon knelt with awkward face and was neither standing nor standing. After a long time, he carried the axe and headed straight for the forest not far away. Soon, the sound of gnawing and cutting trees came from inside, and the sound of gnawing and shaking violently in the tree.

After only twenty minutes, Long Yi held a golden axe in his hand and carried a trunk of three meters long and one foot thick on his shoulder and ran back to the kiln factory. He threw the tree on the ground with a bang, and then knelt on one knee on the ground again, holding up the axe with both hands.

"Your Majesty the Witch King, please replace me with the axe!"

Seeing the savage and strong man like a giant bear, there was no sweat on his forehead, Xu Chen thrust his face a few times again. Although he was a little reluctant, he was worried that he might kill him with an axe. Therefore, he reached out to stop the excited tribe members of the crowd and nodded in a dry laugh:

"Since you like it so much, I will give you this axe. In fact, I can make such a sharp axe. I also want to thank you for your Wu tribe for helping mining and copper smelting. In order for all tribes to have such sharp and strong tools in the future, I hope you will convey my thanks to the tribe members after you go back. At the same time, I hope you can smel more copper. As long as you work hard, you will get more such sharp and strong weapons in the future!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Witch King!"

Long was surprised and happy, and lay on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Chen to thank him.

"Don't thank you, Uba is a family, and the witches of both tribes are also sisters. There are those of the Ba tribes, and there will be those of the Wu tribes in the future. I just hope that the two tribes will fall in love with each other and friendship will last forever!" Xu Chen smiled and helped the dragon up.

Long was trembling all over excitedly, and his face showed extreme surprise and fists.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty the Witch King, the Wu tribe will always follow His Majesty the Witch King. Follow the guidance of the Great Witch. After I go back, I will tell the clan leader to let the clan members refine more copper and send it over!"

"Well, that's great. I made a lot of things today, and it took a lot of time to get them all done. You can send the pottery and prisoners back first. Come back in a few days. I'll give you a few sharp knives and axes. Thank you for your help all the time. However, this kind of metal smelting is complicated. It's not just copper. There are other rare metals. Look there, we are still cutting down more big trees to burn charcoal, so that we can make more of this kind of weapon in the future. You bring my words to Umu and other leaders. As long as everyone works hard, they will get more in the future!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty the Witch King, I will definitely say ga!"

Long was very excited. After thanking him again and again, he shouted a few times and brought his two companions to the horse, held the golden axe high in his hand, and took a group of Yugong captives sent by Xu Chen to the entrance of the valley.

Seeing the big axe being taken away by the Wu tribe, the men, women, and young people were very distressed. Some hunters wanted to chase after him and grab it back.

At this time, because a large group of people cut down trees and collapsed in the kiln factory, the entire Ba tribe was almost alarmed. Even Mother Ba, who was still checking the farmland on the other side of the river, rushed over with a group of women. After hearing the descriptions of the group, he felt a lot of regret on his face, and looked at Xu Chen and wanted to speak but stopped.

Xu Chen quickly comforted and said, "Don't worry, Mom Ba, I have made several such axes this time. I originally planned to give one to each tribe. And this is the first smelting test, and it is not the best. Next, I will make more and better knives and axes to ensure that everyone has a handy tool."

"Yew~"

Xu Chen's words not only made Mother Ba smile, but hundreds of people watching gave a shocking cheer.

"Okay, everyone has separated. The work that should be done is too many people here, and it's too crowded!"
