This is the Sanxingdui residential area, the original residence of the Red Tiger tribe.

The red leaves on the ground were covered with thin layers of white frost. The air in the early morning was very cold. Taking a deep breath, your whole lungs would feel cool.

The early riser put his hands behind his back and headed towards the valley named Industrial Valley by the Son of God.

Waking up early in the morning and patrolling the Sanxingdui residential area is a habit that has been formed at grassroots level during this period.

As the person in charge of Sanxingdui, who is personally responsible for the life of the Son of God, he must take responsibility. Not to mention how much development the Sanxingdui residential area can achieve, he must at least ensure that the Sanxingdui residential area is moving forward and is safe.

The Industrial Valley is the most important place in Sanxingdui. This was said by the Son of God.

Cao Gen deeply agreed with what the Son of God said.

Because the mineral resources in the Industrial Valley are so abundant.

Cao Gen walked all the way in and soon arrived at the salt-producing area.

The people here have just gotten up and are washing up.

He was not surprised to see Cao Gen coming over, he just greeted him with a smile.

They have long been accustomed to the grassroots coming over at this time.

Originally, these people did not live here at night, but would leave the valley and live outside.

But after a while, people felt that running back and forth like this was too troublesome, so they chose a flat terrain here and built houses to live in.

Nowadays, the area south of the Qinling Mountains no longer needs to transport salt from the main tribe.

The salt made from saline soil in the Sanxingdui residential area is enough to be consumed by the people in these areas.

Cao Gen walked along the way and went to places where copper was smelted and pottery was made.

After a quick inspection, Cao Gen headed deeper into a branch of the valley.

After walking a distance forward, I saw a few people guarding here.

When a few people saw that it was Cao Gen, they said a few words to Cao Gen, then opened a heavy door and let Cao Gen in.

After Cao Gen entered, he walked forward for a distance and saw a house built with large stones in front of him.

He came here, opened the door of the house and saw what was going on inside.

Inside were neatly arranged wooden boxes.

Although the wooden box was not opened for inspection, Cao Gen knew that the inside of the wooden box was lined with a layer of waterproof oil paper, and that it contained gunpowder!

Cao Gen stood here and carefully counted the number of boxes of gunpowder. After confirming that the number matched and there was no discrepancy, he carefully closed the extremely sturdy door of the house, left here, and walked towards another stone house about forty or fifty meters away.

When you push open the door of the house, what comes into view are still wooden boxes.

Cao Gen walked forward, randomly selected a wooden box and opened it, carefully peeled off the oil paper on it, and saw two rows of ten fist-sized iron eggs.

The surface of the iron egg has grooves that intersect horizontally and vertically, and there is a braid growing on it.

This is a grenade.

The people in Tieshan residential area made it and sent it over.

Grassroots has seen with his own eyes the usefulness and power of this thing.

He knew that this was the most useful and powerful gunpowder weapon in his tribe so far.

He stood here and watched for a while, then wrapped the oil paper again, covered the box, put it back in its place, then carefully closed the door and left.

At this point, Grassroots’ morning inspection was completely over.

There was a smile on Cao Gen's face. When he thought of the things in the two houses, he couldn't help but feel confident.

With these things here in the Sanxingdui residential area, we are not afraid of any challenges!

Not to mention that more than thirty miles away, there is the Tieshan residential area to rely on!

If any danger really occurs, a large pile of wolf dung not far from the lookout post on the top of the valley peak will be set on fire. A large amount of smoke will rise up, and people in the Tieshan residential area will be able to see it when they raise their eyes.

Then people will be sent here soon to provide support.

At night, firewood was lit on the beacon tower as a signal.

The same thing is also built in the Tieshan residential area and has the same function.

This thing was conceived by the Son of God, who instructed himself and others to build it.

This is really a great thing, a great method.

With the existence of such a thing, two tribal settlements dozens of miles apart will be like one whole.

No matter where the enemy is encountered, another place can quickly send reinforcements based on the signal sent out.

Using the strength of two tribal settlements to jointly deal with one enemy, the grassroots sometimes think that this is a bit too cruel for the enemy.

Of course, while he felt it was cruel, he often felt that it was impossible to encounter such a powerful enemy.

Relying on the current strength of the Sanxingdui residential area, even if it is the Black Stone Tribe, the most powerful and combat-capable tribe the tribe has ever encountered, there is no need to ask for external assistance. Just relying on their own strength, they can defeat them all!

After all, compared with the beginning, the tribe, which has been developing rapidly, has changed a lot. Not only have the weapons increased a lot, but they are also updated and replaced quickly. Now there are even extremely powerful and amazing gunpowder weapons!

There are also many people.

At this time, the number of people living in the Sanxingdui residential area had exceeded that of the Tongshan residential area.

Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that the grassroots are so confident...

Here in the Tieshan residential area, someone is putting gunpowder into grenade shells to make grenades.

At this time, someone walked in.

"Don't load the gunpowder for these grenades yet!"

The second brother said this to several staff members.

Facing everyone's puzzled looks, he took out an envelope and pulled out a piece of paper from it.

"Han Youchang in Jinguan City has developed a more powerful gunpowder through research and experimentation..."

The second senior brother said as he looked at these people.

"This is the improved gunpowder formula, take a look."

Second Brother said this and handed the paper to one of them.

The man quickly wiped his hands on the cloth beside him, then reached out to take the paper.

Several people nearby leaned over to watch.

"Is this something that Han Youchang did again?"

After a while, the person who reached out to take the paper looked at the second senior brother and asked.

The second brother nodded and said, "Yes, it's him. People from Jinguan City said that the room where this guy tested gunpowder has exploded six times.

Once this guy was knocked unconscious by the explosion, and it took him a long time to recover.

As a result, not long after waking up, he went back to the laboratory and continued to tinker with gunpowder."

Second Brother said this, his voice full of admiration.

He knew Han Youchang. When he was in Jinguan City before, this guy was ordinary and he didn't look any different from the crowd.

But I didn't expect that I would become so brave and fearless now!

Regarding things like gunpowder, other people didn't make much achievements or progress, but it was this originally inconspicuous person who shined brightly.

How could Second Brother not be moved by such a huge change in a person?

While expressing his emotion, the second senior brother suddenly remembered some words that the Son of God had once said.

The general meaning of this sentence is that there are no mediocre people in this world. The reason why they have not achieved anything is because they have not encountered a suitable career.

Before, Second Senior Brother did not have a deep understanding of these words, but now, with Han Youchang's very direct example, when Second Senior Brother thinks of what the Son of God once said, he feels that they are particularly correct.

Those in the room who were making gunpowder and grenades couldn't help but show their respect for Han Youchang when they heard Second Senior Brother talking about Han Youchang's deeds.

They often deal with gunpowder and can better understand the horror of gunpowder and the dangers of studying gunpowder.

When the second brother talked about Han Youchang's matter, he finished the story in just a few words.

But they can know how much is hidden behind these few words!

How dangerous!

What courage it takes to do all this!

At least they can't do it to this extent.

Unknowingly, the man who had seized the opportunity of gunpowder in Jinguan City, continued to climb towards it, and dared to fight for it, has now walked ahead of all the gunpowder researchers in the Qingque tribe and has become a respected existence.

Here in the Tieshan residential area, the few people who were researching gunpowder who got the first mix immediately started to prepare new gunpowder according to the mix researched by Han Youchang.

These people were already very familiar with gunpowder, and they already had the raw materials, so it didn't take too long for them to prepare the new gunpowder.

There were grenade shells that had not been fully loaded nearby, so these people directly loaded the grenades with the new gunpowder.

After a while, several loaded grenades came out.

"Let's go and try releasing two."

One of them spoke up.

The others responded one after another, and the second senior brother followed everyone out.

Like these people, he wanted to see how much more powerful this new mix of gunpowder was.

Everyone left the room and walked out of the tribe, and soon they arrived at a place.

There are trenches dug here, and there is a wasteland in front, with some potholes visible.

It's obvious that a lot of firecrackers were set off here.

Several of them are experienced in using grenades.

After they stood in the trench, someone lit the fuse of the grenade in his hand with fire and threw it out with force.

The rest of the people immediately squatted down and hid in the trench.

Two or three seconds later, a loud bang was heard in front.

The crowd did not leave the trench immediately. In order to better verify the power, they lit the remaining three grenades.

After the three grenades exploded, they came out of the trench and went outside to observe the results of the explosion.

Four small potholes appeared on the wasteland. The weeds at the explosion point were blown away, revealing some new mud. The middle part was a little black, and some debris remained here.

This is the trace left by the four grenades that exploded just now.

By now, the tribe's technology for making grenades has become much more mature.

It is rare for a dud to occur, or for the gunpowder to explode but the grenade shell to fail to blow open.

Second Brother and a few others were checking the effects here, observing the size of the grenade explosion fragments and their distance.

They had a lot of contact with grenades and were very familiar with them, so they quickly came to a conclusion.

This gunpowder is made using the new formula developed by Han Youchang and is loaded into the grenade shell. The grenade produced is indeed more powerful than the original grenade!

Han Youchang’s recipe is very successful!

Such experimental results made everyone very happy.

Several people quickly returned to the room and began to make new grenades using this new type of gunpowder.

After loading this batch of empty shells, they even dismantled some of the grenades that had been made previously and replaced them with new gunpowder.

People are like this. Once they have something good, they will look down on the bad and always strive to move towards the good.

About twenty days later, a group of people brought some sealed boxes and headed towards the nearby Sanxingdui residential area.

The box contained grenades made by people living in Tieshan residential area using a modified version of gunpowder.

Half a month later, another group of people set out from Tieshan Tribe and headed towards Jinguan City in the east along the Jintie Expressway, which had been partially built.

Inside were also the latest grenades.

Things like grenades, because of their outer shells, are only produced in the Tieshan residential area.

Now that a large number of new grenades have been produced, they will naturally transport some to these two places that belong to the same tribe.

Of course, when the team transporting the grenades came back from Jinguan City, they would definitely bring some food back from Jinguan City...

Time flies.

Before we knew it, the weather started to get warmer.

The snow that originally covered the area in white and made people feel extremely desperate became vulnerable and quickly melted away in the warmer weather.

If you use your hands to dig away the withered and yellow grass and look carefully, you will find that the grass roots have turned green.

Faced with such a situation, the chief of the Pegasus tribe, who had been hiding in the valley with his people, cattle, sheep and other livestock for a whole winter, suddenly became energetic!

The weather is finally getting warmer!

They can finally leave the valley and do some of the things they have been looking forward to for a long time!

Although they thought so, it took almost twenty days for the people of the Pegasus tribe to leave the valley and go to other places.

The reason for this is that the witch of the Red Tiger Tribe spoke...
