While Chen Yang and Li Su'er were flying to Cape Town in NF (referring to the Southern African country, and so on below, to avoid censorship, please forgive me), in the real world, they were heading to the Indian Mountains.
There was a problem with the silkworm rearing, so they rushed over to take a look.
When they were setting up the silkworm rearing room and collecting the silkworm eggs, they neglected the sterilization process, resulting in the death of a large number of silkworms and significant losses.
However, the silkworm eggs can still be found; there are quite a few in the mulberry grove, but we can no longer do what we did before.
Chen Yang brought over the sterilizing herbs prepared by Lini, lit them in the silkworm room to sterilize it, and then put the silkworm eggs back into the silkworm room.
"Thank you for your hard work. We will be more careful from now on," Jiang Yining said to Chen Yang and Li Su'er.
Chen Yang nodded, "There will always be mistakes at the beginning. We don't have modern conditions, so we can only explore step by step by following the experience of our predecessors."
The history of sericulture in China is very long, longer than any known dynasty, and can even be traced back to four thousand years ago.
"Oh, by the way, when the silkworm pupae come out, if I'm out, remember to save some for me," Chen Yang said with a smile.
Silkworm pupae are also a delicious ingredient; Chen Yang has eaten them several times and was very impressed.
"Chen Yang, when are you leaving?" Li Sen asked Chen Yang.
Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a little longer. I've been helping the camp with some machines recently, and Yunshi has collected some ancient machine diagrams, which are being studied. If I stay and help, it will be faster."
In addition, Chen Yang also wanted to further refine his blacksmithing skills.
His current strength makes him incredibly efficient at forging iron, even comparable to some modern instruments.
However, ironware forged by hammering is unmatched by modern technology and is a true weapon of divine power.
Many famous swords from ancient times cannot be imitated by modern technology. Although they may not actually be able to cut through iron like mud or sever hair with a breath, their sharpness and quality are truly the pinnacle and cannot be replicated no matter what.
Chen Yang's ambitions weren't that great yet, and famous swords from ancient times weren't necessarily made of iron; all they had discovered so far was iron ore.
For example, the main alloy components of the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, are copper, tin, lead, iron, sulfur, etc. Chen Yang has only found iron so far. If he put in a little more effort, he might be able to find other metal ores, but he just feels it is unnecessary.
He studied forging with Hong Gui for a period of time, and then forged a sword and a throwing knife for himself.
The tenacious blade is still a bit short, and it's extremely precious. I can't bear to throw it away as a throwing knife; what if I can't retrieve it?
Therefore, Chen Yang planned to forge a set of weapons for himself and place the Tenacious Blade in the camp. The Tenacious Blade could be used in many places in the camp because of its extremely sharp and indestructible nature.
The Blade of Tenacity has been a tool that has helped Chen Yang survive since he first entered the Micro-World. In the beginning, without the Blade of Tenacity, it would have taken Chen Yang much longer to start a fire.
However, it was time for the Blade of Tenacity to be put to good use. Chen Yang planned to bring the Blade of Tenacity into the real world after the Xindu camp was fully operational. The Blade of Tenacity was large enough to be carried around easily, and as long as he didn't travel far, he didn't have to worry about being caught.
On the island in the middle of the lake, Hong Gui's iron smelting furnace has been upgraded multiple times. Now, he has his own blacksmith shop on the island, complete with a railway, bellows, workbench, and all sorts of tools, including hammers and pliers.
Back when Chen Yang and Guo Zifeng were blacksmithing, they built the most rudimentary iron-smelting furnaces and used stone hammers. They were incredibly crude. It's nothing like now, where they have all the tools and are becoming more and more professional.
"Master Hong, please give me your guidance," Chen Yang said to Hong Gui.
Hong Gui scratched his head and said, "Chen Yang, you're strong and skilled, you'll definitely surpass me soon."
"I don't think so. The style and momentum you have when you forge iron is something I can't imitate," Chen Yang said with a smile.
"Li Sen is the same way. He always loves watching me forge iron, and afterwards, he's even more..."
"stop!"
Chen Yang quickly exclaimed, "I don't want to learn any more. Now, please have Master Hong teach me how to forge iron."
Hong Gui smiled and said, "Okay!"
Over the next few days, Chen Yang and Hong Gui worked day and night forging tools and household items: sickles, hooks, iron pots, hammers, hoes, and more. The camp's supplies suddenly became much more abundant.
This is the situation in the micro-world; in reality, Chen Yang is already having a great time in NF country.
The Black people were very welcoming, and many of them spoke English, so communication was no problem at all. The local Chinatown also had a unique blend of Chinese and African culture, which was quite interesting.
They played for four or five days without any accidents happening; it was safer here than they had imagined.
This is not a war-torn country, so it is naturally very safe. It's just that the Chinese people have never had a good impression of Africa, which has led to some misunderstandings. It's like how some countries still think that China is a mysterious Eastern country with backward technology, where everyone knows martial arts.
After finishing playing NF Country, Lu Lin suddenly called Chen Yang.
"Chen Yang, I'm sorry, I might need to trouble you with something," Lu Lin said on the phone.
"What, is it about diamond ore?" Chen Yang asked.
Lu Lin is a person with immense influence, and there aren't many things that can bother him, so it's easy to make contact in this direction.
"Yes, the diamond ore is currently in Africa, and since you're here, that's why I'm asking you for help. I need you to put it on a plane bound for Sweden."
"Why do you need me to come? Is there any trouble?" Chen Yang asked, without asking about the diamond ore.
“Yes, it’s a bit of a problem.” Lu Lin: “To make sure no one questioned the source, I sent the ore to Africa, which was supposed to pass through NF country, but the news got leaked. If it were anywhere else, I wouldn’t be worried, but in Africa, I’m still a little worried.”
"Do you know who's eyeing the raw ore?"
"This is still under investigation, but there are already several suspects, one of whom is the royal family of Country Y."
"The royal family of Country Y?" Chen Yang was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that he would be involved with such a behemoth as the royal family of Country Y.
“They don’t want the title of the world’s number one diamond to go to someone else. If they can get their hands on this raw ore, they can save face regardless of whether it can surpass the Star of Africa after it’s been cut. Besides, the idea of making at least a billion dollars just by robbing it is something even they would be tempted by,” Lu Lin said.
"Is there any danger?" Li Su'er asked with some concern.
“It’s a bit dangerous, but Chen Yang, you’re in the shadows, even more hidden than the enemy. If you operate secretly, no one will know,” Lu Lin said honestly.
