Return to Primitive Society and Become a Chief

"what?"

When the witch's words fell, faintly, Ji Zei felt that he was about to come into contact with the truth, so he hurriedly stood up and asked, so that, subconsciously, his breathing became tense.

The witch said with an unsure expression on her face: "Copper."

"Copper?" Ji Zei, Tushan was taken aback at the same time.

Tushan was even more puzzled and asked, "What does it have to do with copper?"

On the contrary, it was Ji thief, and suddenly there was a burst of clarity in his mind.

After that, the witch continued: "When I asked the people about the situation, I found that they were not the engineering tribe who smelted copper, or the trade tribe who minted. Apart from this, there is really nothing in common. "

After that, the witch sighed, it seemed that she could not find another reason.

The reason for saying this is just to give Ji Thief an answer.

I don't know, it was this answer that allowed Ji Thief to find the source of the problem.

"Sister Zhen is right, it may be the cause of copper." Ji Zei said while pinching his chin.

The witch snorted, but she didn't expect that a word she said casually would really make Ji Thief take it seriously.

"That warrior, I'm nonsense, don't believe it, it doesn't matter if you can't find the reason, we can continue to look for it." For a while, the witch also said in a panic.

Tushan also followed: "Yes, how could it have something to do with copper? If you want to say that, the military department and the resources department are in contact with copper mines all day, is there a problem too."

The thief shook his head: "No, you don't understand, Usma and the others' situation may really be the cause of copper."

Seeing the confused faces of the two of them, Ji Thief sighed and said: "Copper is a heavy metal. If you have long-term exposure without any precautions, you will be poisoned by copper. And, in retrospect, everyone’s symptoms are also heavy metals. Poisoning is inseparable, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, brain bloating."

"This, this is still poisonous?" Tushan was stunned.

Like Tushan, the witch has an expression of how possible.

Ji Thief said: "Of course it is poisonous. For people, if they take too much copper, they will die."

Tushan had a pale expression on his face: "It's over, the people of the tribe have been eating dishes fried in a copper pot these days, everyone is going to die."

Hearing that the witch is also full of embarrassment.

Ji Thief glanced at Tushan: "Don't talk nonsense, even if it's a copper pot, it's impossible to be poisoned in just a few days. The human body has metabolic functions, that's so easy."

"Then, Lord Patriarch, do you mean we are all right? Can we continue to eat vegetables in a copper pot?" Tushan asked.

Ji Zei glanced at Tushan: "If you want to be like Usma, you can continue to eat."

Tushan: "···"

The thief squeezed his chin: "It seems that the current situation should be that Usma and some engineering tribes smelt copper every day and come into contact with the copper element, resulting in heavy metal poisoning. Correspondingly, the Xue's Trade Department is also the same. Poisoning caused by exposure to copper for too long."

The witch and Tushan glanced at each other, and both saw deep worries in each other's eyes: "Then, how should this be cured?"

The thief thought for a while: "Go to the catering department to find some carbon dust and water for the poisoned tribe to drink, and then prepare more milk to help nourish the stomach."

Tushan was stunned, and asked with some worry, "Is this possible?"

The thief nodded: "Trust me, you know, Xue is also poisoned, I am more anxious than you now."

Seeing that Ji thief said yes, Tushan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to the restaurant department.

After he left, the witch was still a little worried, and asked Ji Thief: "Master Patriarch, if you really do this, there will be no problem?"

The thief thought for a while: "If the medicine is cured, I can't guarantee it, but it's okay to solve their current physical condition. As for when it will be better, it depends on the individual's ability to recover."

"The warrior, what are we going to do next? Don't you need copper?" the witch couldn't help asking.

She knew that the thief valued copper and also knew the benefits of this thing.

Lihuo coins, copper needles, copper spears, copper arrows, etc. are inseparable from copper.

If you give up, then it will be fatal for the development of the Lihuo tribe.

The thief lowered his head, pondering for a long time and said: "Copper must be used, at least, before I can find a better substitute for metal."

When he said these words, the thief couldn't help being distracted.

Is there a better metal than copper in this primitive society?

With iron, the melting point is too high, even if it is found, it cannot be used.

Those with a low melting point, similar to aluminum and tin, are not found.

Let alone gold and silver minerals, this thing is so scarce that it can catch up with the hair on a bald head.

The witch looked down at Ji Thief, waiting for Ji Thief's solution.

After thinking about it, Ji Thief said: "The big deal is to implement the rotation system, and you can't give up copper production."

"What rotation system?" the witch was shocked.

"It's very simple. The military department stationed in the copper mine valley rotates with the military department and shifts every 20 days. There are 70 tribesmen in the engineering department and 30 tribes in the trade department. They are divided into three parts, one every ten days. Rotate, try to reduce the time of contact with copper. In addition, we must find a way to make a mask to further isolate everyone from contact with the copper element." Ji Zei said.

The other witches understand, but only one thing is that the witch does not know what the mask is.

As a result, the witch looked at Ji Thief directly, and the Ji Thief who was watching was puzzled.

"What do you think of me like this?" Ji Thief asked puzzledly.

The witch scratched her head: "What is the mask?"

Zhangkou was trying to explain to the witch, Ji Thief suddenly realized that there was no mask in the primitive era, and there was no fabric to make the mask.

The material used to make linen cloth is available, just the kind of flax fiber twisted into a rope.

The only uncomfortable thing is that there is no loom to make cloth.

The book I gave to Usma at the beginning actually recorded the way of making a loom, but the thief had never done this stuff before, and I didn't know how to deal with it.

Wouldn't it be impossible to experiment over and over again?

No, even if you try it over and over again, you have to make the loom yourself. In addition to making the masks you need, more importantly, if you make linen cloth, you don’t have to wear animal skins all day long. Ran.

Moreover, quilts can be made from linen cloth and wild cotton. Looking at the winter, how can it work without a quilt?

Of course, this winter will not be covered with quilts.

Thinking of this, Ji Thief raised his head and said to the witch: "It's nothing, since the problem has been identified, if the copper pot is used, I will tell everyone not to use it."

The witch asked Ji Thief, "What about the dozens of copper pots newly made by the Engineering Department these days?"

The thief Ji thought for a while and said: "Throw it to the logistics department first, and after a few months, when the people are greedy, they will take it out and have a stir-fry."

The witch stunned: "Will it be poisoned?"

Ji Zei waved his hand straight: "It's okay. If I take it once in a while, the body's metabolic function can completely keep up."

Seeing the witch's dull look, Ji Thief couldn't help asking her: "What's wrong with you?"

The witch kept shaking her head: "No, nothing, just a warrior. What is the metabolic function you just mentioned?"

Ji thief: "···"

After thinking for a long time, Ji thief just said: "It's just eating and defecation."

The witch was silent for an instant.

At this moment, Tushan had already ran back with carbon ash, and asked Ji Thief, "Master Patriarch, can you feed this thing to everyone now?"

Ji Thie gave a hum, took the carbon ash from Tushan, turned around and entered the medical department, asked Ah Qi to take a lot of earthen jars, then flushed the ash, and distributed them to everyone. The first one was the most serious feeding situation. Of Usma.

When I walked to the hospital bed on which Usma was lying, she woke up for more than a day, but her bones were still weak. He was lying on the bed with a blank face standing beside her, smearing her arms on Usma’s body. Female member of the medical department who cools medicinal materials.

Hearing the sound, the female member stood up and looked back. When she saw that it was Ji thief, she packed up, holding the earthen jar and went elsewhere.

Tushan not only frowned when he saw this situation, and said, "Why don't you say hello to the patriarch when that person met?"

Ji Thief held the water full of ashes and said, "If you don't fight, you won't fight. We don't ask for this. The treatment is important."

After speaking, the thief came to Usma's bed.
