Chapter 3 Bronze
The Eagle People live in the mountains, and have lived in the mountains for generations. They like cliffs very much.
They use stone tools to dig caves around the top of the mountain to live.
Gaoman Mountain is just a very common small mountain in the ancient Ferland world.
The legendary Eagle People's Royal Court lives on a tall mountain called "Tianshan"!
It is a huge and magnificent mountain, with tens of thousands of Eagle People living on it. It is the ancestral home of the Eagle People, and the Eagle People of the Gaoman Mountain Tribe also come from here.
After Jiang You became the patriarch of the Gaoman Mountain Tribe, he began to transform the living environment of the Eagle People.
Although the stone cave is safe, after many generations of Eagle People living there, the smell inside is very unbearable, and hygiene has always been a problem.
The first year.
He sharpened a stone axe, cut down trees, and led the tribesmen to build dozens of wooden houses and wooden beds in a year, which became a new residence.
The original cave with a wooden door is an excellent storage place. The
Eagle People's wooden house has two doors, one on the roof and one near the cliff, which is convenient for travel.
After building the wooden house, he called the tribesmen together and dug a pit in the center of the tribe to make a pool for drinking water.
Jiang You would arrange for the tribesmen to fetch water every day.
Then, he surrounded the wooden houses with wooden walls, and a small village was formed.
The wooden house village may be less safe than the cave, but Jiang You looked at the village in front of him and felt the breath of civilization for the first time in the wilderness.
So far, he felt at ease.
The second winter.
Jiang You led the Eagle Boys to find and kill several hibernating black bears in the Whispering Forest during the heavy snow in winter.
His strength and skills grew, and he also changed into bear skin clothes.
Very warm.
The third year.
Jiang You found a magic beast in the east of the Whispering Forest.
Fortunately, this magic beast was a deer magic beast. Although this magic beast was strong, its temperament was gentle. It stayed in its own territory, which made Jiang You and others feel relieved.
But his desire to obtain extraordinary power became stronger.
The fourth year.
When Jiang You led the hunting team out hunting, he chased the bison and flew three thousand meters to the west.
Here, he found an open-air copper mine!
This surprised him inexplicably!
Copper!
This is something that can allow them to move from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.
If there are copper tools, the strength of the Gaomanshan tribe can be greatly improved.
But soon, a patrol eagle boy flew from farther away and told him that there was a snake tribe here.
The snake tribe is also a subsidiary race of the Titans.
However, they have been fighting with the eagle tribe for generations, and their living areas are staggered. They have been natural enemies since ancient times!
In ancient times, when the four-legged eagles had not yet evolved into eagles, they often captured the two-legged snakes, the ancestors of the snake people, for food.
But when they almost simultaneously accepted the gifts and enlightenment of the Titans and evolved into an intelligent race.
The suppression of the eagle tribe on the snake tribe disappeared.
The snake people have stronger reproductive capacity, and they are good at using bows and arrows.
Although the eagle people have the advantage of flying, their eagle claws are too sharp and do not support their archery.
Otherwise, a soldier who can shoot arrows in the sky, even if it is just an ordinary mortal without extraordinary power, has great advantages.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang You's desire for copper overcame his worries about the snake tribe.
He asked in a deep voice.
"Liang, how many snake people are there in that snake tribe? Are there any extraordinary snake people?"
"Chief, I didn't look carefully."
Liang touched his head embarrassedly.
"It's okay, we'll take another look."
Jiang You didn't blame him. After all, it was difficult for the Eagle boy to have such awareness. It was already very good to find the snake tribe.
He took a team of Eagle boys into the air, and after flying for a few miles, he found a small snake tribe beside a small river.
Jiang You hovered in the sky and observed that this small tribe was actually in a similar situation to them.
Years of war have exhausted their vitality, and the tribe is basically composed of the elderly, the weak, women and children.
That's right, the snake people's survival ability on the battlefield is worse than that of the Eagle people. They are cannon fodder among cannon fodder!
However, the number of snakemen in this tribe is larger than that of the Eaglemen in Gaoman Mountain, with about 300 snakemen surviving.
Jiang You made a decisive decision to wipe out this snakemen tribe.
So that night,
Jiang You led the warriors in the Eaglemen tribe and destroyed this small snakemen tribe while they were sleeping at night.
Then, they mined copper and smelted bronze.
Jiang You knew some of the simplest copper smelting methods in ancient times in his previous life. After trying several times, he successfully refined bronze.
In the fifth year,
after a year of accumulation,
almost all the warriors in the tribe had a bronze utensil.
With bronze utensil, they could hunt larger and more ferocious prey.
Even some weak monsters, Jiang You and others dared to test them.
The tribesmen mostly used bronze spears, while Jiang You cast a bronze sword for use.
In the sixth year,
the tribe's bronze reserves increased, and Jiang You used the extra bronze to cast a large bronze tripod!
In this way, food could be cooked in the tripod all the time.
Then, some bronze utensils were also made.
Bowls, basins, pots, spoons, etc.
Until this time, Jiang You could announce that the Gaomanshan tribe had left the Stone Age and entered the Bronze Age.
They were more civilized than most races in the Ferland world.
In the seventh year.
Jiang You was 16 years old, and he was considered an adult among the Eagle People.
His body became more upright and agile, and his wings became more tenacious and powerful.
This year, in order to face the upcoming war, Jiang You began to cast armor with bronze!
Because the eagle people have wings, it is difficult to cover their backs with armor, and in order to keep them light, the armor should not be too heavy.
Jiang You only cast armor plates on his chest, arms, and head for self-defense.
More than a dozen sets of this simple bronze armor were made, and worn by Jiang You and the strongest eagle people in the tribe.
They were all brothers and sisters who grew up together with Jiang You.
As time passed.
In the autumn of this year.
When the golden autumn leaves were flying.
The envoy of the eagle king's court arrived as expected!
