Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 605: Messages Returned by the Expeditionary Team
After the tribesmen left, the trading area was officially closed, and although there would also be Flaming Horn fighters in the trading area to carry out some subsequent modifications, it was no longer open to the public, and they would close for a winter to prepare for a bigger deal next year.
The sky starts to snow, just, unlike the stormy, snowy winters they've been through here, this winter seems normal. Perhaps the geographic environment has changed since the earthly disaster, and the weather has changed accordingly.
After two strange, hot winters, this year, the people of the continent finally had a normal winter.
Perhaps further away in the mountains and forests, there will be warm places suitable for birds to live in, but the people on the continent do not aspire, they are not demanding and expect nothing more than a normal winter.
After Shao Xuan arranged the transaction area, he returned to the tribe with what was at hand and began to polish the lenses.
Clear crystals are suitable for sharpening lenses. Shao Xuan tried to make a simple telescope. In another world, he used to do it himself. At intervals of many years now, Shao Xuan's memory has been a little blurred in this world. However, if you try more, Shao Xuan believes you can still make it.
The cylinder is made of bamboo of different thicknesses and consists of three main sections: the front cylinder, the middle cylinder and the rear cylinder. However, the most troublesome part of this is polishing the lenses. After all, they are made by hand. There will be defects. If you don't pay attention to them, they will wear out. Good thing Shao Xuan, these stone sharpeners have practiced their power for many years. When polishing, they have not succeeded once, but have tried several times. There is also a result that is almost satisfactory.
The sharpened lenses do not know the focal length. Shao Xuan roughly used the focus light method to measure everything. Everything was done manually. When the set of lenses, such as the objective, the eyewear, and the image mirror were finally polished, Shao Xuan assembled them after the front, middle and rear cylinders were made, and obtained a simple ground telescope.
Shao Xuan tried to see the situation on the other side of the river. With the eyes of many Totem warriors, he could also see the scene on the other side. But with the help of a telescope, he could see more detail. Unfortunately, Shao Xuan is still dissatisfied with the lens polishing results and the image is not clear enough.
This set of polished lenses produces multiple magnification ground telescopes, all you need to do is adjust the length of the cartridge accordingly.
However, if the telescope is to play a greater role, Shao Xuan will have to continue to improve and may even try to make a large-calibre telescope in the future.
In the meantime, Old Kerk also showed interest in making binoculars, and he tried it with stones, then sanded it with opaque little pieces knocked down on a cluster of crystals, and finally started trying to make lenses. Shao Xuan briefly told him the general principles, and Old Ke didn't understand them, but if he knew what to do to get the best results, he could start construction.
On the grinding stone, fine, Old Ke is still a little better than Shao Xuan.
When Shao Xuan and Old Ke studied polishing lenses, the distant team returned.
The distant fleet did not return before the snow, but it was snowing, but it was not too cold, and the river was not frozen except in some places on the shore, where occasionally sharp toothed fish could be seen jumping out of the water.
In addition to the deal, the expedition team went out with a mission to spread the word about the Flame River trading area so that more people could know about it, one of them.
Secondly, the expedition also investigated movements across the continent, this time bringing back some special news.
Shortly after the team returned, someone came to ask Shao Xuan to go to the mountain for a meeting.
By the time Shao Xuan arrived, the tower he had brought back with him was already sitting inside, talking to them.
“Xuan, I'm waiting for you. Come on in... What's in your hand?” The witch asked.
Shao Xuan handed the single-barrel telescope test article in his hand to the witch, "A new little thing has been made. ”
Hearing that, the tower you were hearing along the way couldn't help but look this way.
The witch took the monograph and looked around, “What's the use? ”
“To look at the distance, but this is just the first experiment I've tried to do, and it's not perfect, and there's a lot to improve on.” Shao Xuan said while teaching the witch to use the telescope.
After listening to Shao Xuan, the witch got excited and didn't say anything about the meeting for the time being. He got up and walked to the window, lifted the heavy animal skin that blocked the window and looked out with the single telescope.
This synagogue is situated on the hill, near the top of the hill, after the heavens and earth disaster, the mountain is much higher again, this neighborhood is the highest mountain, so from here, looking out, you can see the distant situation, the window that the witch opened, you can see the other side of the river.
“Huh?! It's amazing!” The witch sighed.
Listen to the witch, no one else can sit down, if you want to come and try.
But the witch put the mirror away and pressed her hands up, “No rush, let's have a meeting first, let's get down to business.” Yan Bi, the witch put down the beast leather curtain, walked back and sat down. Before she could sit still, the telescope in her hand was grabbed by the old lady next to her.
However, the old lady also held the shelf and kept the witch calm and steady. She did not immediately walk to the window and looked at the telescope and grabbed it in her hand, resting it on her leg.
Others shifted their gaze away from the old lady's telescope, suppressed curiosity, and started talking business.
The main thing is that the tower will tell you about the harvest and achievements of this business, and the expedition team will pass on the Yanhe trading area according to Shao Xuan, but this time it was the most surprising thing Shao Xuan mentioned on the desert side.
Indeed, the two continents are close due to changes in the heavens and the earth, but the closest place on either side is the desert!
This made Shao Xuan wonder if the reason why slave owners chose to settle in the desert was just waiting for the day?
“This time I was in some trading area and heard some news. I'm sure you remember the slave owners and slaves who appeared when we were at war with Masons?” The tower has a serious face and a colour of suspicion in its eyes.
Yes, in addition to the desert masters, there are defeated slavers and slaves who have been driven out of the desert by the rocky city, who carry their slaves and swim everywhere. After the annihilation of Manshi, Shao Xuan also heard some news about them, the slave owners, who did not get any good from the tribesmen.
They can bully only some of the smaller tribes. If it is a tribe-to-tribe struggle, the other tribes ignore it, but if the slave owners mean to rob, the groups headed by the central tribes will not let go. So, even if they survive, the slave owners, they don't have a good life. Life is not great for slave owners who enjoy a luxurious life.
Nowadays, I hear that the two continents are so close, the slavers who have had a bad life want to dive back into the desert and then find a way to go to another continent. If it's not easy here, then go somewhere else, maybe they can live better and regain the confidence they had?
With that anticipation, the wandering slave owners, with their slaves, sneaked back into the desert, not long after, only a few seriously injured people came out of the desert, and every one of them showed fright, raving madness, as if they had been greatly frightened.
There were expeditions passing near the desert that met them and received information from them.
“Those people say there are monsters, humans, monsters in the desert!” The tower sinks.
“Human-shaped monster?” Shao Xuan was confused.
“Well, those who escaped luckily died soon after, and none of the slave owners and slaves who entered the desert were said to have come out alive. Nobody knows what's really going on in the desert today.” The tower tells the news of the trip.
“Have those human-shaped... monsters ever been outside the desert?” Shao Xuan asked.
Tower shook his head, "Never heard of it. ”
Quiet in the house, thinking about the authenticity of this message.
“Do we need to be prepared? What if those people... the monsters come out?” Dokan said.
“Perhaps it was the Rock Man?” Ohh guess.
“It's possible. If those human-shaped monsters are true, it's probably something to do with the people in the rock mound. However, the people of the Rock Rim, whose purpose is mainly on the ocean side, should not affect us in the short term.” Shao Xuan said, "Instead of worrying about those, let's take this opportunity to change the flames around the river! ”
