Chapter 60: Crisis, crisis, and opportunity in danger
Yun Chuan didn't understand that the climate in this world would become very extreme every few years.
A large dark cloud hung over the top of the head, and it was raining continuously, and it was not only raining, as long as you listened to the rumbling thunder, you would know that the lightning did not stop.
If it is at night, you can often see a long bolt of lightning tearing through the dark clouds and falling on the ground or on a tree trunk.
If it falls on the ground, it will make a muffled sound, and if it falls on the trunk, you will see the trunk being split in half by lightning, and then it will burn.
The reason why lightning occurs, Yunchuan knows, is that during the formation of cumulonimbus clouds, it is under the simultaneous action of the atmospheric electric field, the electrification effect of temperature difference, and the electrification effect of fragmentation.
Positive and negative charges accumulate in different parts of the cloud. When the charge accumulates to a certain level, a discharge will occur between the cloud and the cloud or between the cloud and the ground, which is the lightning that people see every day.
The reason is very clear, but there is no way to avoid things like lightning strikes.
Why did Yun Chuan start to worry about thunderstorms?
It is entirely because Changyang Mountain is a thunderstorm-prone area, especially in such rainy days, the top of Changyang Mountain is struck by lightning more than a hundred times a day, plus the huge cave on Changyang Mountain, every time thunder and lightning bombard On the top of Changyang Mountain, it will illuminate Changyang Mountain, revealing the dark cave. Against the background of lightning, the whole mountain looks like a skull with its mouth wide open. It looks as evil as it is.
In any place, only when you live there yourself will you discover the problems of this place, such as Changyang Mountain.
When Yunchuan didn't live in Changyang Mountain, he always felt that this place belonged to a fairyland with beautiful mountains and clear waters, full of flowing springs and waterfalls.
After moving in, I realized that I actually lived in a huge iron ore belt.
It is because the rocks on the top of Changyang Mountain are rich in iron, and this is the highest place nearby, so it is a matter of course to be favored by thunder and lightning.
Kuafu was struck by lightning
When Yun Chuan heard the news, he dropped the teapot in his hand to the ground, and his legs were so weak that he would have knelt on the ground if Yai Zi and Chi Ling hadn't supported him.
Of all the subordinates in Yunchuan's department, the person Yunchuan trusts the most is Kuafu! Even if this idiot cuts off his hair with an ax close to his scalp, the person Yun Chuan trusts most is still Kuafu.
When he thought of that simple-minded man being turned into a ball of coke by lightning, Yun Chuan felt as if a knife was piercing his heart.
After a short while, Kuafu was carried into the cave by the other giants. His body was still smoking, and his face had turned a strange blue.
Yun Chuan shivered and put his hand on Kuafu's neck. The guy's body temperature was frighteningly high, so he quickly ordered someone to take off Kuafu's clothes and pour cold water to cool down. Yun Chuan kept his hand on Kuafu's neck, He tried his best to find Kuafu's pulse.
It's okay, it's okay, Yun Chuan finally felt the weak pulse, and checked Kuafu's body again, and found a blood hole the size of a finger appeared on the heel of this guy's left foot, which was the effect of lightning discharge.
"Why was Kuafu struck by lightning? Didn't I tell everyone not to go out during thunderstorms?" Yun Chuan's voice was low, but he could not restrain his anger.
"Kuafu wants to put some of the iron tools he made on the top of the mountain to be struck by lightning, so as to make some magic weapons for the tribe, just like his axes." Abu had already asked what happened, and whispered to Yun Chuan Road.
Abu's words reminded Yun Chuan of how the first magic weapon blade on Peach Blossom Island was born. That's right, it was the first sword he made, but he discarded it because the iron was too soft to use. On red sandstone.
As a result, that day was also a night of thunder and lightning. The iron knife was struck by lightning and completely melted. Then it was watered by rain and quenched by the way. Then there was the first steel weapon of the Yunchuanbu.
Later, after Kuafu learned to forge iron, he felt that the thing that looked like a knife and an ax was not easy to use, so he cut off the piece of steel and attached it to the edge of his battle axe. the sharp edge.
Yun Chuan looked at Kuafu who was still in a coma, his body looked like a grilled prawn, and sighed: "Can you ask me before doing something!
In this weather, if you take so many irons to the lightning zone, isn't that courting death? "
Abu whispered: "However, the lightning also bombarded the iron and melted a lot. Kuafu's experiment is not meaningless."
"No amount of significance can compare to Kuafu himself!" Yun Chuan coldly interrupted Abu, and then cast his cold eyes on Yazi and Chihuahua.?? On two people.
After being glanced at by Yunchuan's chainsaw-like eyes, Yazi and Chiling shuddered immediately, and then said in unison: "We won't go to the lightning zone."
Yun Chuan sighed, and asked people to wrap Kuafu's huge body with sackcloth soaked in cold water, put him on a bamboo bed, and guard the guy himself.
After pouring seven or eight bowls of ice water down Kuafu's thirsty throat, the guy finally opened his eyes and wanted to speak, but he couldn't utter a word.
Yun Chuan glared at Kuafu, thought for a while, suppressed his anger and said: "You were struck by lightning, only bastards who did bad things in this world can be struck by lightning, and you are the bad guy who did what he shouldn't do. The bastard of the thing."
Kuafu seemed very aggrieved, but Yun Chuan didn't care about it. This guy has a big body, but his brain hasn't kept up too much. Apart from some small cunning that is unique to savages, to Yun Chuan, this guy is simply like a blank sheet of paper.
When Kuafu woke up, Yun Chuan was relieved. However, this guy's body was still severely shocked by the electric shock. In the next few days, it was inevitable to take off a layer of skin. Even so, Yun Chuan still Feel lucky for Kuafu.
Yun Chuan thought that the water here would recede slowly after the peak of the flood had passed. However, the flood had receded a little. However, after this receded, it would no longer recede, and there was an upward trend.
There is no doubt that this is another barrier lake downstream
After 12 consecutive days of heavy rain, Yunchuan's thoughts on planting crops this year have completely disappeared, and in the next days of this year, he will only be able to rely on stored food to persist.
Even next year, the possibility of growing food is still not very high. After all, it takes a lot of time just to organize the farmland.
Abu and his people did not rest all day. They are tirelessly repairing this huge natural cave. Yunchuan has seen that the shell of this cave is a thick layer of shale. This shale layer constitutes Changyang Mountain. stable terrain.
Under the shale layer is a thin layer of siderite. Siderite is a good thing. The most important thing is that siderite is usually associated with coal mines or clay mines. Therefore, Yunchuan is naturally in the cave. Coal seams and clay layers were discovered, but siderite was inlaid in coal mines and clay mines in the form of lumps. When people collected coal and clay, they just picked up the lumpy siderite.
Since there is abundant iron ore, Yunchuan naturally chose a small cave to build a furnace to smelt steel.
The Yunchuan tribe got a shelter in a huge cave, but the Xuanyuan tribe did not have such good luck. The Wild Elephant Plain was originally a flat plateau.
Although this place was not affected by the great flood, on this huge plateau, because of the rain, many lakes suddenly appeared. Looking around, the whole plain seemed to be inlaid with many mirrors. It is very beautiful, and some lakes are connected to lakes, and some interconnected water systems are slowly formed.
Having lakes is actually not a bad thing, at least, the low-lying places are full of water, so the places that are not flooded must be suitable for human habitation.
Therefore, since Xuanyuan came to Wild Elephant Field, he has not stopped building a thatched hut near a hill for a moment.
Ever since Xuanyuan saw the Peach Blossom Island of the Yunchuan tribe being swallowed up by the flood, he has been full of energy, personally leading the clansmen, cutting wood, chopping bamboo, repairing the ground and building the city wall belonging to the Xuanyuan tribe.
As Chisongzi said, although the Xuanyuan tribe suffered heavy losses in this disaster, Xuanyuan was still excited after seeing the Yunchuan tribe suffered a catastrophe.
Because, from now on, everyone has become a bare-bottomed person without pants, and everyone needs to start rebuilding their own lives and rebuilding their prestige at the same time.
It is no longer like before, the Kumokawabe family is so high and annoying.
When thinking of this, Xuanyuan was full of energy, and he secretly vowed that after the flood receded, he would let Yunchuan see the greatness of the Xuanyuan tribe.
It's just that the heavy rain in front of us has been refusing to stop, which made many people who didn't live in the sheds start to get sick.
Therefore, Xuanyuan once again showed his broad mind as the patriarch. In order to let more clansmen survive, he took out all kinds of precious furs and silks that Xuanyuan had stored for a long time, and used these precious things to lay the roof , or give it to the clansmen to keep out the rain and cold.
He also took out salted fish, bacon, and newly harvested rice from the clan's stockpile for the clansmen to cook porridge and drink.
As for himself, wearing only a pair of underpants, he led the strongest group of people in the clan to cut down trees and build houses in the wind and rain.
Whenever they build a new batch of residences, the clansmen who will move in will pay homage to their exhausted patriarch.
Exhausted, Xuanyuan always smiles at the grateful clansmen and asks them to go to a house that can shelter from the rain as soon as possible, so as not to be drenched by rain again.
Seeing the clansman move into the new house, even though Xuanyuan was tired, he would show high spirits. With a yell, he led his subordinates to the next selected construction site.
At this time, even in the face of bitter wind and rain, Xuanyuan felt that it was nothing, as long as his tribe was still there, as long as his tribe still listened to him, then¡ª¡ªhe would have nothing to fear.Whenever they build a new batch of residences, the clansmen who will move in will pay homage to their exhausted patriarch.
