Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 246 Star Steel, Kun Iron, Soft Gold

For the next few days, Jiang Luoluo trained at home and didn't go out again.

They prepared to quietly accumulate strength, hoping to find an opportunity to avenge their previous defeat.

However, just because Jiang Luoluo doesn't actively seek out the python doesn't mean the python won't come looking for her.

Less than three days later, the python reappeared at Jiang Luoluo's house.

Jiang Luoluo was focused on training and didn't hear the noise at the door. Mang didn't interrupt either, just stood at the door and silently watched Jiang Luoluo finish training and find him.

"Hey! You!" Jiang Luoluo's eyes widened, feeling a sense of shame like she had been caught secretly training.

"What are you doing here again?" Jiang Luoluo asked, annoyed and embarrassed.

The python, who hadn't even had a chance to speak yet: ...

"You didn't tell me what you did last time," Python shrugged.

Last time, he felt that if things continued, Jiang Luoluo would be furious, so he wisely took the initiative to say goodbye.

After waiting a few more days, and feeling that Jiang Luoluo had calmed down, the python came to visit again.

But judging from her current demeanor... she really has a temper.

But since he was already here, he couldn't just turn around and leave. Python looked at Jiang Luoluo with eager anticipation in his eyes.

"Or do you want to fight me? If I win, you tell me something you made, how about that?"

Provocation! Blatant provocation!

But Jiang Luoluo was frustrated to discover that she really couldn't beat him!

After a long silence, he said in a muffled voice, "I won't hit you. Just ask me what you want to know."

Once she has completed her training, she will repay the humiliation she has suffered a hundredfold!

Jiang Luoluo silently uttered harsh words in her heart.

"The new Earth Star Stone weapon that's being made at the Fire Kiln, was that your idea?" Python asked Jiang Luoluo an unexpected question as soon as he spoke.

Jiang Luoluo had thought of many things, such as soap, glycerin, jam, rabbit ear hats, soft-shelled turtles, etc., but she never expected that the first thing Python asked was about the new weapon that had not yet been made public.

After a snow season, their research finally broke through to a new direction, basically determining the refining methods for several metals, and initially making them into weapons to test their effects.

Through testing, it was found that the metal elements extracted from the Earth Star Stone were among the most robust and durable weapons made from them.

This metal, extracted from Earth Star Stone, was named "Star Steel" because Jiang Luoluo always said something about it being as hard as steel, giving them the impression that "steel" was particularly solid and hard.

Therefore, the character "钢" (steel) was used when naming the product.

However, most of the tribespeople were not yet used to the new name of this metal extracted from the Earth Star Stone, Star Steel, and called it New Earth Star Stone.

However, you'll get used to it after a while and should be able to change your way of speaking quickly.

The other metals were not discarded either, each having its own use. For example, "Kun Iron" extracted from Black Kun Stone is not as hard and strong as Star Steel, but its sharpness when made into weapons far surpasses that of Star Steel.

For example, the "soft gold" extracted from Langshi is very soft at room temperature, and the weapons made from it are neither tough nor very sharp, but its toughness is extremely strong.

The tribe has more than just one or two types of weapons. In most cases, this is due to the limited materials used in the weapons. Because the materials are of a single type, the tribe members have a relatively limited selection of weapons to choose from.

Now that there are more materials to choose from, tribal people are also selecting and customizing their weapons according to their own fighting habits, no longer limited to simple forms like swords and knives.

However, due to production limitations and the presence of failed and defective products, only a limited number of weapons have been made from these metals. Only a few individuals in the tribe can obtain them to test their effectiveness.

To avoid creating unnecessary expectations among the tribespeople, Chief Jing did not reveal the matter too early.

How could a seven-year-old child like Jiang Luoluo know about these things?

Even if he heard it from his parents, he is only 7 years old, not old enough to handle these weapons. Isn't it a bit too early for him to start paying attention to and considering these things now?

"It wasn't my idea; I just knew this method." Jiang Luoluo looked at the python with a suspicious expression.

"But why are you asking this? It has nothing to do with you."

Mang did not answer Jiang Luoluo's question, but said with a regretful look, "I went to the kiln, but they wouldn't let me in, so I couldn't see what it looked like inside."

Jiang Luoluo felt a little proud, because it was she who came up with these ideas and often came up with many useful suggestions and effective references. Therefore, she was always welcomed when she visited the kiln and was never refused.

But it's different for ordinary children and members of the clan.

Children should definitely not go near the kiln, because the temperature inside is too high, and children like to run around and move around, so they can easily bump into things.

It's a minor issue if what you're working on breaks; the real problem is when children come into contact with things they shouldn't, and end up hurting themselves. Temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius and molten metal—just a little contact could easily cost them their lives.

As for ordinary clansmen, they should not approach unless there is something important to do.

As Jiang Luoluo once said, certain things can easily produce special reactions, so it is important to ensure that the environment is "clean," meaning that there should be absolutely no too many impurities.

Ordinary people passing by could easily pick up something from them. If this small change caused a long-conducted experiment to fail, that would be true despair.

Therefore, ordinary tribesmen are usually kept outside the kiln and not allowed to enter easily.

Like Jiang Luoluo, the python may have certain special characteristics, allowing it to roam freely within the tribe. However, the area around the kiln is not included. Even the python can only be regretfully kept outside and not allowed to approach.

The only people the python can turn to for answers are its leader, Jing, the witch, and Jiang Luoluo.

The leaders, Jing and Wu, may know some things about the new weapons, but their knowledge is definitely limited, only scratching the surface, and they are unlikely to have the opportunity to handle them personally.

So, if you want to know these things, you'll have to come and find Jiang Luoluo.

Although Python was also interested in other things Jiang Luoluo made, what it wanted to know most and was most concerned about was naturally the new weapon.

Jiang Luoluo didn't really want to explain to the python, but then she thought about it and realized that she had "crushed" the python with her knowledge, which meant that she had surpassed the python in other aspects.

With that thought in mind, she felt quite relieved and began to explain to the python.

She recounted everything from the essence of matter, the interconversion between gaseous, liquid, and solid states, to various other odds and ends, things she herself might not even remember accurately.
