A ball of tinder was placed under a tree stick that was lying flat on the ground and had a small hole drilled in it. Han Cheng took a modified hand drill and placed the wooden pole into it. He put one foot on the stick on the ground to prevent it from moving around, and then began to press the hand drill down again and again, using the same technique as when drilling something.

The wooden drill rod turned rapidly as Han Cheng pressed up and down. After a few seconds, a wisp of green smoke rose from the wood pit, and then warm, black sawdust came out of the wooden grooves carved on both sides of the wood pit and fell onto the soft tinder below.

Han Cheng was faintly excited and kept pressing the hand drill down. As the drill rod continued to turn, more black sawdust fell. Before long, white smoke rose from the tinder under the wooden rod.

Seeing this, Han Cheng put away the hand drill, picked up the tinder and put it to his mouth to blow on it. The small spark grew bigger and soon a flame rose.

Looking back, this time the method of rubbing two wood together to make fire only took about two or three minutes, which was much faster than the original method of rubbing two wood together to make fire from the Green Bird Tribe and the flint method he had invented before!

This is the first time I have used this hand-operated drill to drill fire, and the effect is so significant. If I practice diligently for a period of time, won’t the speed be even faster?

Han Cheng was thinking this, and turned around to see Bo who was staring at the burning tinder in a daze. He had an idea and asked Bo to try it.

Bo was amazed that he could actually drill out fire by replacing the wooden pole of his usual hand drill. When he heard the Son of God calling him to do it, he hurried over to take the hand drill, but his hands were shaking because he was too excited.

The wooden pole turned, black sawdust flowed out, white smoke rose from the tinder, and then the flames jumped, reflecting in Lame's eyes, making his eyes appear brighter and brighter.

The person who uses the hand drill the most in the tribe is Bo, so now it only takes Bo a lot less time to do this than Han Cheng.

Han Cheng's face was filled with more joy. The issue that had troubled him for so long was actually solved in this way!

It is not the flint and knife as originally thought, nor is it the fire starter, but a third way!

This made him feel as if there was a ray of hope after a dark tunnel. As expected, if you keep thinking about it, there will be a response!

Seeing that the Son of God was happy, Lame became even happier, holding the unique hand-pressed drill in his hand and grinning foolishly. Fu Jiang came over from nowhere, wagging his tail and jumping around aimlessly, having completely forgotten the mistakes he had made before...

Han Cheng walked back to the cave with his newly made fire-making tool and called Huoyi, who was tending the fire there, to come and watch him make fire by rubbing two sticks together.

Huo Yi recovered. This might be related to the fact that after Han Cheng's arrival, the living standards of the Qingque tribe greatly improved, which enhanced their resistance. Otherwise, she might not have survived this time.

Not only did the prickly heat on her body not go away, but it 'exploded' due to the continued sweating, and she kept scratching as she squatted there tending to the flames.

"You come."

Han Cheng put the burning tinder on the ground and stepped on it to extinguish it. Then he pointed at the hand drill and spoke to Huoyi, signaling Huoyi to do it.

Huo Yi and Huo Er are old, and unlike Wu who often does mental work, they are not good at accepting new things. So far, they can understand a lot of Mandarin, but they can not speak much.

Huoyi seemed a little excited and a little afraid of this new way of making fire. After hesitating for a while, he still followed Han Cheng's instructions, took the hand drill and started to do it like Han Cheng did.

However, the hand-operated drill that seemed to be very smooth in Han Cheng and Bo's hands was no longer smooth in Huo Yi's hands. Either the drill rod was crooked, or it ran out of the wood pit, or it got stuck after only two turns...

Huo Yi seemed very embarrassed and wanted to return the thing to the Son of God.

Han Cheng smiled and waved his hand, then squatted down and patiently taught Huo Yi, demonstrating from time to time and sometimes teaching by hand.

Han Cheng had dealt with many old people in the past and could understand their feelings very well. Moreover, Huo Yi and Huo Er had been silently contributing to the Qingque tribe, so he was naturally more patient.

"Fire! Fire!"

Under Han Cheng's tireless guidance, Huo Yi finally lit the tinder with this new tool and shouted excitedly.

Making fire by rubbing two sticks together is a physically demanding job, and the old Huo has long been unable to do this job. Occasionally, when the fire in the pile goes out accidentally, other people in the tribe are needed to rub two sticks together to make fire.

Now, using the tools made by the Son of God, she was able to make fire by rubbing two wood together, and she didn't feel tired at all. It would be strange if she was not happy.

Huoyi shouted excitedly, and looked reluctant to see the flame on the tinder go out.

After the flame on the tinder was completely extinguished, she got another ball of tinder, and then used a hand drill to drill wood to make fire, as happy as a child who got a new toy.

After making fire twice in succession, the excited Fire One went to call Fire Two, who had been on guard last night and was now sleeping.

Huo Er was woken up by Huo Yi. He was in a daze and didn't understand what Huo Yi meant. He just felt that Huo Yi seemed very excited, as if he had something good to share with him. So he followed him with sleepy eyes and watched Huo Yi doing strange things.

When Huo Er, who was originally sleepy, saw the flame appear as a result of Huo Yi's action, he suddenly became awake.

She pointed at the flame, then at the wood drill, and looked at Huoyi in disbelief, mumbling something. It was obvious that she was eager to know what was going on and why Huoyi could start a fire.

Huo Yi, who was extremely distressed before, now smiled. She was very satisfied with Huo Er's reaction.

As an expert in this field and as someone who had experienced it, she began to tell Huo Er all this.

Huo Er turned his head and looked around for a while, but didn't find the Son of God, so he bowed towards the inner cave.

Then he expressed to Huoyi that he also wanted to try and learn this method of making fire.

Huo Yi was naturally very happy. Seeing Huo Er's clumsy appearance, she couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority in her heart. Then she began to teach Huo Er in a serious manner what she had just learned from the Son of God...

The eternal flame in the tribal cave was extinguished. The tribesmen who had long been accustomed to this always felt that something was missing, and many of them felt inexplicably panicked.

This situation continued for several days before gradually disappearing...

At the beginning, most people in the tribe were reluctant to put out the fire. After all, the fire had been burning all year round since they were born.

It was not until Huo Yi and Huo Er, who had practiced the fire-making technique for several days, came out and quickly made fire with the new fire-making tool, that their doubts were dispelled...

By now, the people of the Qingque tribe have gradually become accustomed to living without a fire, because whenever it is time to cook, either Fire One or Fire Two can quickly make a fire, which never delays cooking and does not affect everyone's lives, so they will naturally accept this matter.

The prickly heat on Huo Yi and Huo Er, who were freed from this incident, gradually began to disappear.

The two people who were used to tending the fire seemed very uncomfortable at first. They had a feeling of doing nothing and always felt like something was missing.

But their feeling soon disappeared, because their son of God gave them a spindle each...
