Chapter 215 Alliance? It doesn't exist (please vote and subscribe)

This is selling other people's children for technology, bah, no, it's selling the eagle's children for technology, but why do I need that thing, it's useless.

"Chief, although the eagle is useless, it looks very majestic, why don't we get one." Dali looked at the bazooka hovering in the sky and gave Luo Chong some advice with envy.

Luo Chong rolled his eyes, "You also know it's useless, so why do we want it?"

Rui looked at the two people who actually said that the sacred eagle of his tribe was useless, and he was immediately furious and emphasized immediately.

"We won't give away our tribe's eagles easily, but if we do, it means we have become allies with you, friends, brothers, do you understand?

And our eagles are very powerful, they can help people catch prey, an eagle can live for decades, and can bring back prey every day. Do you know how many people this eagle can feed? How can it be useless?"

Oh, Luo Chong understood, this is equivalent to China giving pandas to countries with which we have established diplomatic relations, of course, that is not given away for free, and will be sent back in the future. To give a more appropriate example, a country in the Middle East gave its national treasure, the Ferghana horse, to China, which is a reason and is used to prove the friendship between the two countries.

There are too many examples like this, for example, Japan gave its national treasure, the Shiba Inu, to the great emperor Putin. When the Japanese envoys visited the great emperor, the great emperor was playing with the big yellow dog in the Kremlin and ignored them, which made the two Japanese envoys very embarrassed.

Ahem, I'm off topic, let's get back to the book.

Luo Chong thought about it carefully. There was nothing wrong with having more friends, but this friend was a bit expensive. He had to exchange his ironmaking technology for it. Looking at the strength of the Eagle Tribe, apart from a few eagles, they didn't have much to show for it. This ally seemed dispensable and useless, unless

they could use their geographical advantages to scout the movements of the cannibals in advance and then give the Han Tribe an early warning. After all, the Eagle Tribe was in the north of the Han Tribe, and the cannibals were also in the north. If they wanted to attack southward, they would definitely go here.

Yes, early warning, the eagle can be used for early warning, no, the eagle can be used to transmit messages. If the eagle can be trained to be like a carrier pigeon, it will undoubtedly be a great help to the Han Tribe.

The Han Tribe's residence cannot be moved, but the two mining areas of Babaoshan and Salt Lake are several days away from the Han Tribe. If something goes wrong, the Han Tribe headquarters cannot get the news in time. If there is an eagle that can transmit information between them, it will be very convenient.

However, this will take time to achieve, because information needs a carrier, that is, text. Even if you can send a letter by flying an eagle, the messenger needs to be able to write, and there are not many people in the Han tribe who can write.

After thinking about the relationship, Luo Chong finally rejected Rui's proposal.

"I still can't tell you, and it's useless even if I tell you. The method of making metal is very difficult.

Let me tell you this, the method is to put that kind of stone in the fire and burn the metal in the stone. This requires a lot of firewood, and you live on that floating island. There is no amount of firewood to use. Even if you cut down all the trees on the floating island, you still can't burn metal."

Luo Chong spread his hands, indicating that he was not unwilling to make friends, but that the Eagle Tribe did not have the conditions to smelt metal.

"So that's how it is. Only people living on the earth can make metal." Rui said a little disappointed.

"Well, that's about it. To be honest, your floating island is quite big, but it's still too small compared to the earth. The resources on it are limited after all. If your Eagle Tribe wants to grow and develop, you still have to step down from the floating island and live a down-to-earth life."

Luo Chong's words seemed to touch Rui's heart, making him a little confused. Should we step down?

Yes, the floating island is a place that is neither in the sky nor on the ground. Even the basic water source is a problem. The daily water supply of the Eagle Tribe depends on the meltwater of the winter snow stored on the floating island and the rainwater stored from daily rainfall.

There are also flowers, plants and trees on the floating island, and they also need water to nourish them. In addition to the two water sources mentioned above, there is also water vapor evaporated from the salt lake. When it floats to the bottom of the floating island above, it will also condense into water, so the bottom of the floating island is always wet.

The lack of water alone made Rui, the leader of the tribe, feel tired. He once thought about leading his people to leave the floating island and live on the land, but he didn't have the courage.

It is not so easy for the whole tribe to migrate. First of all, they are unfamiliar with the unfamiliar environment, and it is even more difficult to build a new home. In addition, there is the tradition left by the Eagle Tribe, because the floating island is where the giant eagle lives, and they need to rely on the giant eagle to live. It is better to say that they cannot live without the floating island than to say that they cannot live without the giant eagle.

"Chief Han, can I invite you to visit our tribe?"

Rui felt that Luo Chong was a very knowledgeable person who knew a lot of things and was a wise man. Rui wanted to communicate more with Luo Chong. Perhaps only Luo Chong could tell him how to get out of trouble.

"Visit? Go to that floating island? No, no, no, I don't have time. I've been away from the tribe for a while, and my people are still waiting for me to go back. I came here to find these stones. Now that I've found them, I'm going back today.

Besides, I can climb up that floating island, but my elephants can't. I won't abandon them." Luo Chong patted Huishan standing beside him and declined politely.

"Oh, so, when are you leaving? Will you come again in the future?"

"Of course I will come. I will send my people to dig stones here in the future. They will come again soon. As for us, tomorrow, we will leave tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow? Then can I go to the Han Tribe with you? I want to know how to survive on the earth." Rui failed to invite him, but instead proposed the idea of ​​visiting the Han Tribe.

"Of course, I welcome you. Welcome to our Han Tribe."

Luo Chong suddenly became happy. This Eagle Tribe seemed to have the tendency to develop into his own tribe.

"That's great. I'll go back and tell my tribesmen. I'll go with you tomorrow."

Rui said these words and asked Bazuka to take him to the floating island. He wanted to arrange with his tribesmen what to do after he was out for a few days.

Luo Chong and his men were not idle either. They skinned the spotted hyenas they had just killed, washed them in the lake, and used the hemp ropes they brought to make hemp ropes and sew several animal skin bags.

After that, the six people started digging at the location where saltpeter was just found by the lake. Luo Chong planned to bring some saltpeter back this time to solve the urgent need for nitric acid raw materials for the Han tribe. As for the iron ore, Luo Chong only brought back a few pieces.

Back on the floating island, Rui immediately gathered his tribesmen and told them about what he had seen and heard about Luo Chong, as well as Luo Chong's magic. He actually knew the reason why this floating island would float in the sky, and also let them see the magical power called magnetism.

Moreover, Luo Chong is the leader of a large tribe. Their tribe can also make a good thing called metal. Rui also took out the bronze arrow that Luo Chong gave him to show to the tribe members. The tribe members were also shocked. They did not expect that the tribe living on the ground was so powerful.

Finally, Rui proposed that he wanted to follow Luo Chong to the Han tribe to take a look. Although no one in the tribe stood up to oppose it, they did not directly support it.

They knew what Rui meant. Since Rui became the leader, he had proposed the idea of ​​leading the tribe members to migrate to the land to live, but he himself was not sure that he could lead the tribe members to live better. More importantly, he did not know whether the eagles raised in the tribe would be able to adapt to life on the ground.

Rui went there this time to seek advice and see if the wise man, the leader of Han, had any good way to help them. The tribe members of the Eagle Tribe all knew this. In fact, they also wanted a better life, but they were still reluctant to leave the floating island. They were very conflicted.
