Chapter 42 The difference between clouds and mud

Guo Sen always has a considerable interest in what happens unexpectedly.

Just like all this in front of you.

Nearly a hundred short humanoid creatures were pounding stones with tools.

The cave was brightly lit, and some wood-made torches were fixed on the rock wall, illuminating the rather wide cave.

This also allows Guo Sen to see more carefully the appearance of these working humanoids.

Guo Sen is always full of interest in unexpected things.

In addition to beards and hair, these humanoid people have extremely sparse hair in other places, and they can even see their light brown skin. The muscles are extremely developed with a bucket-like waist, and blue fur is surrounded by the waist.

They have a human-like face, their eyes are all black-brown, but their cheekbones are higher, their nostrils are facing the sky, and their beards are matte, looking like rough men.

Both the palms and toes are five fingers, and they seem to be very flexible in the posture of holding those fruits.

Tail? Guo Sen looked carefully and found that there was no one.

Oh, waiver.

Guo Sen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he looked at this creature that was almost the same as that of humans on Earth.

This guy is the ideal "primitive man"!

Compared to this, the black-haired and red-haired ones under the plateau are all messy!

However, there are still disadvantages.

This group of people seems to be a little short...

Guo Sen estimated their height and found that he was only about 1.2 meters tall. When he looked at his figure, he really looked like five shorts, and his hands and feet were extremely short.

Guo Sen is extremely excited now.

This is a humanoid creature in the true sense!

Compared with the werewolf with lizard heads and white hair, this is the serious primitive man!

In Guo Sen's subjective imagination, only creatures similar to people on earth can be called "human", and the rest should be called "humanlike".

This is also because it was originally a psychological worship of the people on earth.

If he had a dinosaur head when he was alive, he might be more favorable to those lizard people.

Guo Sen felt that if he could, he would rather work harder to give this race's civilization and open up some fun.

Then, call them "dwarfs"!

However, judging from the metal tools in their hands, even if they don't do anything, these dwarves are far ahead of the two tribes.

With metal, it means that they have mastered fire. With fire, they can basically be sure that they eat cooked food, and the weapons will not be bad.

The tribes that can mine have already surpassed the Stone Age civilization!

So, how far can they develop?

Guo Sen was in high spirits and continued to observe.

The division of labor among the dwarves is quite clear.

There were dwarves responsible for special mining, almost all of them acted in groups of two people. Both of them cut and smashed rock bodies with metal sledgehammers and chisels, looking extremely skillful.

Some are also responsible for passing the knocked ore and transferring them from the hole to outside the hole.

Outside the cave, there were obviously a group of female dwarves sitting around, picking and choosing among the piles of ores with small hammers.

Guo Sen carefully identified the ore and found that it was red in overall color, and the sound of knocking was extremely crisp and pleasant.

The female dwarfs chose this kind of stone.

Of course he recognized what this kind of thing was.

Hematite.

As an important raw material for iron smelting, this ore can usually produce quite high-quality iron.

It seems that these dwarves have crossed the bronze ware and used iron ware directly.

This has to be said to be a great leap in civilization.

Ironware is harder and lighter than copperware.

It is also more extensive in making various instruments.

However, iron smelting requires more advanced technology, which is completely different from copper making.

So, do the dwarves have such technology?

Guo Sen's gaze gradually faded away and began to scan the surroundings carefully.

Soon, he saw the bank of a big river not too far from here, where a burst of smoke had just emerged.

With narrowing his sight, he also saw long-shaped objects that kept emitting thick smoke and flames, and the dwarves who were moving around him.

This long-cylinder-shaped thing seems to be made of something similar to clay. There is a hole on the side of the bottom, and charcoal is burning inside. Several dwarves are holding strange-looking blasters and constantly sending air into it.

A crack behind was filled with red residue, which kept flowing out of it.

There is no doubt that this is a blast furnace for iron smelting.

Guo Sen was amazed at the powerful smelting technology of the dwarves. This blast furnace, which seemed cumbersome and complicated, has been improved by them for many times?

After a while, the dwarves swung their hammers again and smashed the blast furnace with one blow!

The dwarf who had been waiting by the stove for a long time took out a hot object emitting red and white light from it with an iron tool that looked like a large shovel, and then placed it in a small blast furnace next to a slightly flat boulder.

Next to the boulder, two dwarves holding sledgehammers and chisels were waiting.

Guo Sen nodded, is this going to start tempering?

Sure enough, the large red iron block soon burned into white again, was placed on the boulder, divided into two pieces with a chisel, and then the two dwarves immediately swung their sledgehammers!

Mars are splashing everywhere!

The dwarfs who had blown the blast furnace before also came to blow the furnace continuously.

As the boulders and stoves keep turning red and black, the black impurities on the surface of the iron block are constantly knocked down, gradually turning into strips and gradually flattening.

Guo Sen also noticed that those people had started to take new clay by the river, knead it into strips, and began to make new blast furnaces.

Seeing all this now, he couldn't believe that the dwarves actually had such superb smelting technology.

This is much more powerful than the simple and unusual smelting method he taught lizards!

The dwarves' civilization is much higher than Guo Sen imagined, and it is also far ahead of the lizardmen and the White Wolf tribe.

On Guo Sen's planet, many civilizations have begun to have considerable asymmetry.

Is this a good thing? Or a bad thing?

He couldn't judge for a moment, either.

Guo Sen wanted to give this dwarf civilization a push with bias at that time, and it seemed that there was no need to worry so much.

From the perspective of smelting alone, if it develops naturally, the lizardmen and the white wolf clan may have to catch up for a hundred years, or even longer.

But what about other aspects of the dwarves?

Guo Sen also noticed that the number of dwarves seems to be quite large.

In that cave, there were roughly fifty or sixty people, including the female dwarfs who screened ore outside, while there were nearly fifty people in the smelter by the river.

This is not the responsibility of handling in the middle.

Guo Sen conservatively estimated that this dwarf tribe also had at least two hundred laborers.

What does this mean? If you feed these two hundred laborers, there will be at least two hundred people to obtain food.

In addition to some children with little workforce and logistics personnel, this ethnic group has a population of more than 600!

Unlike the extinct Black Wolf clan, this six hundred is real.

The Black Wolf Clan is lazy and has strong fertility, but most of them live in vain and have to attack the White Wolf Clan to continue the clan.

And the dwarf tribes should have developed productivity that suits their population growth.

Two concepts.

The level of civilization is also different.

Guo Sen thought of this and turned his attention.
