Super Chief

　　 Although Hongyun is a sacrifice to Kabulu, she still has relatively little power in mobilizing manpower. If there is no very special situation, Hongyun, as a sacrifice, cannot mobilize too many clansmen.

　　 mobilize all the clansmen, that is the power that only the leader can have.

　　 This kind of power is sacred and unshakable, otherwise a tribe will be completely messed up. This is the experience gained by the North American Indians after so many years. Therefore, in a tribe, the chief or chief is definitely the most powerful person.

　　 sacrifice or high priest, can only be said to be the spiritual leader of a tribe.

Shixiong knows very well that Hongyun’s support is far from enough to develop the Gaoshu tribe. Now that the leader of Li Lei has admitted his identity as the so-called "son of the god", he can now give orders while Li Lei is the leader. , Let him help more.

　　 Hearing what Shixiong said, Li Lei was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "You need help from your clan now, so just say it. As long as it is a reasonable request, I will try my best to satisfy you."

"Chief, there is actually nothing difficult. It is more trivial and requires more manpower. Now I need to find a kind of white and more delicate soil, and I also need to find a white stone. This kind of stone should be very common. , But that kind of white and delicate soil should not be easy to find, so I need help from the tribe. Of course, it would be better if I could find a stone with a metallic luster."

After a pause, Shi Xiong continued to explain: "The first two things are the key things needed for steelmaking. Without these two things, it is difficult to make steel. With these two things, then we can compete with those Vasichu We also have our own steel."

　　 Li Lei looked very interested, and asked, "What are these two things for? What is the last kind of stone with metallic luster you mentioned?"

　　 This matter is not easy to explain. I can’t tell Li Lei that whether it is a crucible or a refractory brick used in a steelmaking blast furnace, it needs kaolin clay to make it, right? As for limestone, it is an indispensable slagging agent in blast furnace steelmaking. Without this thing, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of steel produced.

Therefore, Shixiong said vaguely: "The great sun **** pointed me out that if I want to make my own steel, these two things must be indispensable. As for the last kind of stone, it is actually a kind of iron ore. If the front is white Soil and white stone are indispensable auxiliary materials for steelmaking. Then this kind of black-gray, dark red or ocher-yellow stone is the direct source of steel. This kind of stone is called iron ore. Only steel can be made from stone."

"White soil, white stones and iron ore, there should be around our tribe, but the supreme sun **** did not tell me where they are buried, so I need people from the tribe to help find these three things. As long as they have These three things, plus the coal that I found with Kuaima this morning, we can make our own steel. In the future, the weapons in the hands of our soldiers will also be replaced with steel weapons, and we will never use those The beautiful fur has changed iron pots with those Vasichus."

　　 Hearing Shi Xiong’s explanation, Li Lei seemed a little excited, “Dali Xiong, as long as we find these three things, we can really have our own steel weapons?”

"Yes, I can assure you about this. Well, one thing needs to be said is that although most of the iron ore is buried under the ground, there is usually an obvious difference in the place where there is iron ore. The place, that is, as long as the area has iron ore under the ground, the trees and flowers there will usually not grow too luxuriantly. If the iron ore is buried very shallowly, there will even be no grass. This is useful for finding iron. The ore is very helpful."

　　 Li Lei nodded affirmatively, "I remember, I will tell the people."

　　 Shi Xiong is not at all worried about whether the tribe can find kaolin, limestone and iron ore. The entire Appalachian mountain range is said to be a treasure mountain. According to scientists' calculations, this mountain range that does not seem to be high today is likely to be as high as the Rocky Mountains 480 million years ago, only after hundreds of millions of years of weathering. , This mountain range has been flattened a lot.

　　 But even so, this fold mountain range, which runs through the east coast of North America with a length of more than 3,000 kilometers from north to south, and an average width of more than 400 kilometers, contains a huge amount of mineral resources. Not to mention coal, the Appalachian Coalfield in the north of the Appalachian Mountains can be called the largest coalfield in the world. The coal contained here is enough for the world to use for hundreds of years.

　　 There is also iron ore, and the amount of mine available in this mountain range is extremely impressive. Even this mountain range contains rich mineral resources of precious metals such as gold and silver. UU reading www.uukanshu. com As for limestone, marble, kaolin and other non-metallic minerals, they are everywhere in this mountain range.

　　Why is the United States of later generations so good? One of the big reasons is because of the huge mineral resources contained in the Appalachian Mountains. Especially near the Great Lakes region, it has become a US steel manufacturing base. This is the fundamental reason for the rapid rise of the United States in later generations.

Although the Great Smoky Mountains where the High Tree Tribe is located is close to the southern Appalachian Mountains, the mineral resources are not as abundant as in the northern part of the mountain range, but for the small High Tree Tribe and even the entire Eastern Cherokee tribe, these mineral resources They are all worthy of the sky.

　　 In terms of the current size of the Gaoshu tribe, only a small iron ore and coal mine need to be found near the Great Smoky Mountain, which will be enough for the Gaoshu tribe for hundreds of years.

The leader of 　　 Li Lei is a very mobile leader, even if he is dying, he still does things in a vigorous and resolute style.

　　 It was in the afternoon when Shi Xiong told Li Lei these things, but in the evening, Li Lei sent someone to invite Shi Xiong to the wooden house where he lived.

When Shi Xiong entered this wooden house, he found that in addition to the leader Li Lei and the two men who took care of him, there were three other tribesmen who knew Shi Xiong, but could not be named. After all, he came to Gaoshu tribe. The time is too short.

　　 These three people have an old man, a grown-up child and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

The old man is almost forty years old. This age is considered to be a longevity among North American Indians. He is called "Gray Moose"; that man is more than 20 years old and his name is "Big Spear"; as for that boy , Also has his own clan name, he is called "Feng Rui Shi".
