Chapter 64 (1/2)

The development of the tribe has been gradually on the right track, which makes the stone bear more and more happy.

Although everything is not even Xiaohe's ability to show his sharp point, at least it stimulates the cohesion of the tribal people, which is the root of all undertakings.

North American Indians are a kind of people who like infighting, so even though they have lived in the vast continent of North America for tens of thousands of years, they have never produced a complete regime. This is also the fundamental reason why the white people in Europe finally killed the overwhelming number of North American Indians.

To put it bluntly, North American Indians lack a sense of cohesion.

If these two million Indians can be united, how can those white Europeans wipe out the Indians with hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers? Even if these Indian soldiers didn't have hot weapons, even fighting guerrillas could make those European white people miserable.

In those years, grandfather Mao was able to lead the martyrs with knives and millet and rifles to defeat the little devils who owned airplanes, artillery and machine guns. What was the reason? Isn't that a high degree of cohesion?

Chiang Kai Shek's troops had planes, artillery and machine guns, but they were also beaten by little devils? In the end, Lao Jiang also lost his good fortune. Why is this? It's very simple, because Lao Jiang's troops have no cohesion.

If the North American Indians of this era have a high degree of cohesion, those white Europeans will never cross the Appalachian Mountains and go west!

What Shi Xiong did after he came to gaoshu tribe is to stimulate the cohesion of the three hundred people.

Now it looks like it's working out pretty well. Except for a few people who have opinions on themselves, most of the other people are willing to participate in these things. Even five or six-year-old children will spontaneously form groups to help.

Even if these little guys can't do great things, can they help carry some small iron ore?

Those old people, they can't do heavy manual work any more, but they cook for the working people at home, right?

Those women can't build a blast furnace, they can't go out and catch bison, but they plow the fields at home, right?

And why do they do that? It's very simple, because they see a bright future in the things stone bear has done, and they are willing to contribute to a better future.

what is it? This is the concrete manifestation of cohesion.

In the early morning of this day, all the people who had been busy for four days stopped working. After breakfast, they all gathered in the open space in the middle of the village.

Now, in addition to the big pit for coking and the stone house for firing firebricks, there is another big guy more than five meters high, which is the earthen blast furnace built in these four days.

The shell of this earthen blast furnace is built with rock and mud, and the furnace is made of firebricks. There are scaffolds around the top of the blast furnace, which are used for pouring materials. There are four large bellows beside the blast furnace, which are used for blast furnace blowing.

Outside the taphole of the blast furnace, there is a ”square pond” built with refractory bricks. Around the square pond, there are many molds made of kaolin on the pit.

Once the molten iron flows out of the taphole, it will directly flow into the pond, and then the crushed pig iron particles will be added to the pond, which will be continuously stirred to decarbonize the molten iron. Finally, the molten iron will be scooped out with a stone spoon and poured into the heated mold.
