Chapter 172: Trading Bamboo Silk to Heart
In the Ice Abyss world, although there is little communication between camps, there are still obvious similarities in the regulations of some items.
For example, weapons are a good example.
Similar to Daxia, the weapons in Jingxian camp generally come in two sizes. According to weight, they are more than five hundred kilograms and more than one thousand kilograms.
The iron tire bow is even more obvious. Although the bow strings used are different, the pulling force is also divided into two types: between 5,000 and 10,000 kilograms, and more than 10,000 kilograms, and the weight of the bow body is about three. One hundred catties, the latter is six hundred catties.
This is basically the same as Daxia’s current regulations.
The reason is also very simple. After all, weapons are for human use. Depending on personal talents, there are various styles of swords, guns, swords and halberds, but their weights will definitely not differ too much.
After all, the threshold of five thousand catties in the logging realm and the threshold of ten thousand catties in the digging realm are the same no matter which camp they are placed in.
There are more than 4,700 weapons. The lowest iron bow weighs more than 300 kilograms. The heaviest spear even weighs more than 3,000 kilograms. Even if the average weight is 1,000, it weighs at least more than 4 million kilograms. .
There are only about a hundred people from the Digging Realm who came tonight. Although they are all Digging Realm cultivation, it is definitely impossible to carry all these weapons back with bare hands.
Fortunately, there are iron trailers with wheels at Jingxian Camp.
The moment they saw the iron trailer, not to mention Xia Chuan and others, even Xia Hong's eyes were slightly shocked.
Daxia has been making trailers for some time.
Except for the rotating shaft and key parts that are made of iron, the main materials are basically made of wood.
No one dares to think of building a car with pure iron.
However, there are actually three vehicles at the Jingxian camp.
After all, he is rich and wealthy!
On the snow north of the Arrow Bamboo Forest, three giant two-wheeled vehicles were driving in a straight line heading south. In front of each vehicle, there were more than 20 people holding thick iron chains, and everyone was walking and talking. , there is no sign of any difficulty.
At the front of the team, there are more than ten people who are constantly clearing the snow on the road and clearing a convenient road for the three trailers behind. As a result, the speed of the trailers is not slow at all. Soon I saw the arrow bamboo forest.
"This trailer has a total weight of 500,000 kilograms. It can carry cargo up to five times the weight of the vehicle body. It only requires more than 20 tunnels to drive it. It was also used by our camp to carry cargo and bee hives in the past. For camp trading”
Xia Hong and his party at the rear had their eyes focused on the trailer. When they heard Yu Wentao's explanation, everyone couldn't help but click their tongues.
The total length of the trailer was more than ten meters. They originally thought it would be heavy, but at half a million pounds, it was still far beyond their expectations.
The unexpected look on Xia Hong's face was not strong.
The density of iron in the Ice Abyss world is much greater than that of the ordinary world. A piece the size of a fist weighs forty or fifty kilograms. For a trailer as big as a trailer, half a million kilograms is considered reasonable.
But after hearing what Yu Wentao said, he suddenly asked with great interest:
"Trading with the Beehive Camp?"
Yu Wentao nodded, remembering that Daxia was not large in scale, and Xia Hong didn't know much about many camps, so he immediately explained: "Actually, most camps are restricted by location and have limited possessions. The resources are relatively single and limited, so we must find ways to exchange resources with other camps.
But once the camps are very suspicious of each other, it is difficult to trust each other. This;
Secondly, geographical distance is also a problem. A camp without strength cannot even travel too far, let alone trade with other camps.
So, Really successful resource exchanges often occur between two camps that are not too far apart and have similar strengths. Hive and Mirror Fairy meet these two conditions.”
This was similar to the situation at Rogge's camp before Redwood Ridge. Other small camps also used wood and crystal fruits to exchange for a small amount of iron weapons.
Xia Hong lowered his head and thought for a while, then immediately asked: "What you were in short supply before was probably cold beast meat and cold beast blood. You used iron and coal to find the Beehive Camp in exchange for these two things, right? ?”
Among the supplies just counted, the smallest quantities were cold beast meat and beast blood.
Seeing that Xia Hong’s guess was so accurate, Yu Wentao nodded immediately:
“Yes, cold beasts are one of the most scarce resources in Jingxian camp. In most cases, we find Jingxian camp to exchange them. It’s all cold animal meat.”
"Then what proportion should be exchanged?"
Why only the cold beast meat was exchanged and not the animal blood? Xia Hong didn't need to ask at all.
Beast blood is a key material for breaking through to the cold level in the Digging Realm, and it is very difficult to obtain. Any camp that is smarter will definitely keep it for themselves.
Beehive Camp, since its strength is similar to that of Mirror Immortal, it must not be wealthy enough to exchange such materials with others.
Hearing Xia Hong asked about the exchange ratio, Yu Wentao suddenly showed a look of helplessness on his face, shook his head and said: "40 kilograms of iron ore or 70 kilograms of coal can be exchanged for 1 kilogram of cold beast meat."
Hiss...
After Yu Wentao finished speaking, Xia Hong hadn't spoken yet. Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, Yuan Chuan Yue Feng, and the rest of Daxia people surrounding them all suddenly took a breath of cold air. , eyes widened, face full of shock.
Xia Hong, of course, is no exception.
"So, the leader knows why we coveted Redwood Ridge so much before, right?"
Yu Wentao doesn't need to make up for the latter sentence at all.
Everyone in Daxia has already realized it.
What a treasure they have been sitting on.
Xia Hong was also dumbfounded at this moment. If he had known earlier that cold beast meat could be exchanged for so much iron and coal, he would not have had to dig the ground with his camp every day and stay in the mine in agony.
No, no.
This is just a special case.
You have to happen upon a camp that lacks cold beast resources.
And it just so happens that this camp is not short of iron and coal.
Moreover, the strength of the two camps must be equal, otherwise the final result will not be an exchange, but annexation and attack.
Xia Hong soon realized the key to the problem.
This cannot be regarded as the real exchange ratio.
But Xia Hong is more aware of the importance of communicating with other camps.
"The Ice Abyss world is like this. Unequal exchange of resources is normal. After all, no matter whether it is strong or not, almost all camps are subject to geographical restrictions. If you want to get things from other places, you can only exchange them with others. Everything The exchange ratio, in the final analysis, depends on which party needs it more."
After hearing Yu Wentao's words, not only Xia Hong, but also Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan and others nodded slightly, and the excitement on their faces calmed down. Come down.
Cold beast resources are necessary materials for cultivation in the three realms of logging, digging, and keeping out the cold. They can be regarded as hard currency needed by all camps;
Of course iron and coal are also important, but the problem is , the threshold for obtaining these two is not high. In a medium-sized camp with a tunnel, as long as you can find coal and iron ore, you can basically mine it yourself.
The strength of Beehive Camp is equal to that of Jingxian. They must have coal and iron mines in their hands. In addition, they are not short of cold beast meat, so this kind of unequal transaction is inevitable.
"Of course, we also have things that the Beehive Camp wants here. Raw bamboo shreds and snow bamboo are the two most important ones."
Raw bamboo shreds!
A bright light rose in Xia Hong's eyes, and he took out a piece of transparent white silk thread from his hand.
This white silk thread was not the first time he saw it.
Xia Hong had already seen the long bow captured from their hands when he killed He Meng and He Gang's group for the first time.
“This bamboo silk is used to make bow strings, right?”
Yu Wentao nodded and shook his head, and then used a knife to cut off a small piece of his clothes. , handed it to Xia Hong.
“Not only for bowstrings, but after the raw bamboo silk is roasted in a fire, the texture will be much softer, but the toughness remains unchanged. The cloth woven with this silk will be very comfortable to wear on the body and has good warmth retention properties. It is also very strong, and even has a certain defensive effect. It is the most important material in our camp. It is also the most cost-effective to exchange it with the Beehive Camp for cold beast meat. Five pounds of raw bamboo shreds can be exchanged for one pound. "
Paper, cloth, silk!
Xia Hong touched the small piece of clothing and felt its soft and comfortable texture. He pulled it gently and found that the toughness was good. His eyes suddenly lit up and three things popped up in his mind.
“Chief, the uses of this raw bamboo silk should be more than that. The bow we made for you, the bowstring was made of bamboo silk mixed with intermediate Tengjiao sinew. This method It was researched by Mu Dong. "
Hearing Xia Chuan's words, Xia Hong nodded immediately, and seeing Yu Wentao next to him looking curious, he threw the one behind him to him. Yu Wentao took the giant bow, looked at the material of the bowstring, and found that it was indeed bamboo silk mixed with the tendons of the Tengjiao. Then he pulled hard, but it didn't even pull halfway.
“This bow can withstand a pulling force of one hundred thousand kilograms. No one except my eldest brother can use it for the time being.”
After hearing Xia Chuan's explanation, Yuwen Tao's pupils suddenly condensed.
Then he thought of something and ran to a trailer in front, took out a bow and arrow, and handed it to Xia Hong.
Xia Hong immediately recognized that the bow was used by Yu Wenhu before.
“My father’s bow is not made of ordinary raw bamboo silk. It is made of snow bamboo silk. The output is extremely rare, and only a little is produced every year during the Cold Beast Tide.”
< br>As soon as Yu Wentao finished speaking, others immediately understood what he meant.
The string of the bow in Xia Hong's hand was made of bamboo wire, which was seized from He Meng and others.
This means that the toughness of ordinary raw bamboo silk, plus intermediate Tengjiao tendons, after firing can be directly comparable to that of snow bamboo silk.
What if it is made from snow bamboo silk and added with Tengjiao tendons?
This time, even Xia Hong was a little uneasy.
His basic strength is now as high as 900,000 kilograms.
Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
To be honest, he still needs to hold back a little strength to use this bow with a tensile strength of 100,000 kilograms.
It would be great if a bow and arrow could be made that could withstand his full strength.
“Here we are, Hong Tian Hong Guang is here!”
After walking for less than a while, everyone had already reached the edge of the arrow bamboo forest.
Seeing Hong Guang and Hong Tian from a distance, Yu Wentao quickly spoke out.
As the two led the way, everyone continued to walk towards the edge of the bamboo forest. Behind a mound, a bonfire and a huge crowd slowly came into view.
Seeing the more than three thousand people, Xia Hong looked slightly stunned.
The same is true for Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan and others.
The reason is very simple. After just a cursory look, they discovered that more than half of the more than 3,000 people in front of them were children.
The outer circle is full of adults, and in the middle are older children holding babies, and those under ten years old hugging each other for warmth. Judging from the size of the crowd, it is easy to distinguish.
Noting the faces of Xia Hong and others, Yu Wentao thought he was a little dissatisfied, and immediately explained: "It's probably because adults have a deeper understanding of the cruelty of the ice abyss world, so they are easily mirrored. Immortal bewitchment, on the contrary, these children do not understand the outside world. Shen, he's still alive."
Xia Hong nodded, with a smile on his face and said: "It doesn't matter."
Hearing that Xia Hong's tone was normal, Yu Wentao let go. Concerned, he signaled to Hong Guang, Hong Tian and others to quickly organize people and start moving to the Daxia Valley.
When Hong Tian came over just now, he should have informed Hong Guang and discussed with everyone about the merger with Daxia.
Therefore, although everyone looked very sad about the relocation, they did not raise any objections.
Only some adults showed resistance.
Most of the children's eyes were red, their faces full of hesitation, and some were obviously still sobbing, but they made very little noise.
Only some very young ones looked at Xia Hong from time to time, with mostly curious and exploratory expressions on their faces, which was in line with their characteristics.
Based on the proportion of the population that died in Jingxian, most of these children should have lost their parents, that is to say, they have become orphans.
From an emotional level, Xia Hong naturally sympathizes with them; but from a rational perspective, as long as Da Xia carefully cultivates such children, they will be the ones who will integrate into the camp the fastest in the future and have the strongest sense of belonging to the camp.
"Xia Chuan, you go back to the camp first and organize a group of people to pick up these children. Just relying on them to move like this is too slow."
Xia Chuan turned around and looked at the dark color gradually fading. sky, immediately nodded and rushed back to the south.
Last night's cold beast tide and the battle caused the wooden house to collapse and the valley to be in a mess. The station should still be in a state of reconstruction. It is said that no one would be able to escape at this time.
But Xia Hong still ordered Xia Chuan to go.
Firstly, I want to leave a good impression on these children and the Jingxian people;
Secondly, my innocence is about to shine. The Arrow Bamboo Forest alone is ten miles away. To reach the valley, we still have to walk six or seven miles. If so many people don't speed up and wait until daybreak, there will be a big problem.
Thirdly, Daxia’s losses last night were, strictly speaking, all in property, and the casualties were not large.
Xia Hong paid attention to it from beginning to end.
No one in the Digging Realm died; all the children also reached the third floor in time; that is, the logging realm on the first floor was attacked by the Cold Beast in the final stage.
The casualties were around ten at most.
Compared with what happened to Jingxian camp that night, Daxia, whose wooden house was only destroyed, was already extremely lucky.
"Urge the people in front to speed up. The people pulling the carts should move faster and take turns. It's not far from dawn. Everyone, hurry up!"
Xia Hong gave an order, Hong Guang, Hong Tian, Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, including Yuwen Tao, all the diggers went to pull the cart, while those who were not pulling the cart went to the front to urge the team.
Everyone also knew that daybreak was coming, so they walked faster and faster.
At dawn, the crowd at the front of the team finally saw the outline of Shuanglong Mountain in the distance.
At the same time, a team of three to four hundred people, pushing hundreds of wooden trailers, also rushed here from the east side of Redwood Ridge.
“Children, come up here and drag you back.”
“I can have twenty here.”
“I don’t have thirty here. Question.”
"Come all, come all, children who can't walk, come here."
"You can also come if you are injured, hurry up, it's going to be daybreak."
…… .........
The enthusiasm of everyone in Daxia made Yu Wentao, Hong Guang and others look stunned, their eyes They all showed a hint of emotion;
And the adults in the Jingxian camp, regardless of whether they had logging realm cultivation or not, immediately followed the people from Daxia and helped the children get on the bus. I just follow him and pull him along, or I stay behind the car and help push him forward.
The faces of those children who were urged to get into the car, or who were carried directly into the car, were a little surprised at first, but as they were being driven by the trailer and saw the busy figures in front and behind, their faces also became warmer.
…………
At the back of the team, seeing the performance of everyone in Da Xia, Xia Hong’s face showed a strong look of approval.
“Xia Chuan, this boy, is getting more and more good at getting into trouble!”
Don’t think about it, it must be Xia Chuan who taught these people.
Xia Chuan's ability is indeed getting stronger and stronger.
After this wave, this group of people will not recognize Daxia just by saying it.
But at least it’s a good start.
Obviously, the expressions of the few adults who showed resistance just now have softened a lot.
Some of them even started chatting with people from Daxia.
From the looks of it, he was clearly inquiring about various situations in Daxia.
