I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 310, The Best Weapon

Translator: Silavin

Yan Hua examined the combat knife in her hands, swinging it back and forth with excitement on her face.

When she had seen the wolf eared girl with such a knife before, she was incredibly envious. But then she thought about how she was still just a Warrior Trainee and not a Totem Warrior. This made her feel a bit better, since she could accept how someone better than her deserves such a thing.

Now that she had such a knife herself, she could not be happier.

She had seen the knife in Ye Jiu’s hands. While the ownership belonged to the other party, the feeling when wielding it, the sensation when chopping things, and the material of the knife itself all fascinated her.

“Shaman, I really love this knife, thank you Shaman!” Yan Hua kept expressing her gratitude.

After getting this military knife, those newly forged iron pieces could no longer catch her eye. Now, she only had eyes for this military knife. She gripped it very tightly as if afraid of losing it.

“I’m glad you like it. Now, you’ll have to train even harder every day to be worthy of this blade.” Su Bai encouraged her.

He knew she trained diligently every day, but with extra effort, it would be easier for her to awaken as a Totem Warrior after the snow season passed.

“Don’t worry Shaman, I will definitely train seriously! I’ll do it with all my might!” Yan Hua responded without hesitation.

Although Sha Lan was also envious, she knew her abilities were not as good as Yan Hua. Also, she was genuinely happy that her good friend had received such a knife. Because of this, the cat eared girl secretly vowed in her heart that she must work even harder, she must let the Shaman see her efforts.

“Shaman, what should we do with those iron pieces?” Yan Hua suddenly remembered the iron pieces that had been left on the ground.

“Take them to Shan Qiu. Have him sharpen them and attach handles to them. That’s how we’ll make proper weapons.” Su Bai instructed.

With iron arrowheads, the longbow and recurve bow would have very different lethality. The same went for spears – iron spearheads would be more lethal than stone ones, and more durable too.

As for those iron pieces cast into short blades, their practicality was even more self-evident.

No longer would they need to spend so much time cutting things with bone knives and stone knives. With iron-made short blades, both lethality and usability would greatly increase. They would feel more comfortable to use.

The advantage would be more obvious when fighting another party with only bone knives or stone knives.

“Alright…” Yan Hua nodded.

Seeing there was still a lot of iron sand left in the wooden bucket, Sha Lan asked. “Shaman, there’s still lots of iron sand left, are we going to make more iron?”

The cat eared girl was also shocked after seeing those iron pieces. This was her first time seeing such a material.

The feeling when holding it, compared to bone and stone, was a completely new experience. It was unlike anything she had felt with bone knives or stone knives. and the hardness was completely different. It was unparalleled.

If it could really be used as a weapon, it would be the perfect weapon.

“Of course, have people continue making it the way I just demonstrated. The more iron we have, the better. You would also need to make a new mold for each piece.” Su Bai nodded.

“Yes,” Sha Lan nodded as well.

“Shaman, besides weapons, what else can iron be used to make?” Yu Ying asked.

Su Bai turned his head and looked seriously at the fox eared girl, saying: “Now that’s asking the right question.”

Yu Ying was stunned for a moment, tilting her head in confusion. “Shaman, I don’t understand what you mean.”

“With iron, we can make many more things. So many more things.” Su Bai said with a slight smile.

“Shaman, what else can we make?” Yu Ying and the others cast eager, expectant looks at him.

After seeing ordinary iron sand turn into weapons through forging, their curiosity had been thoroughly piqued.

“If conditions allow it, we could build a power plant.” Su Bai said with growing excitement.

In the primitive era, there was naturally no electricity. If they could build a power plant, it would be an unprecedented breakthrough. However, that was still ways away.

The Tribe could completely escape the predicament of darkness at night with electricity. Once he reached that age, the Flame Dragon Tribe would be far ahead of the other Tribes.

“Power plant?” All the girls were completely confused.

“Shaman, what’s a power plant?” Yan Hua asked.

“A power plant can make the Tribe as bright at night as during the day. There are also many more benefits.” Su Bai explained.

Yan Hua’s red pupils widened in surprise. “Make the Tribe as bright at night as during the day?”

She doubted she had heard him correctly. She shook her head repeatedly to indicate this was impossible.

“Shaman, that is not possible. Night can’t be as bright as day.” Sha Lan found it inconceivable.

“I know normal methods can’t make night as bright as day, but a power plant can.” Su Bai confidently said.

“Shaman, does it use a Shaman Technique? I remember hearing about a Shaman Technique that can produce very bright light at night.” Sha Lan said softly.

These stories all came from Sha Hong. Most were about other Tribes, with some about the Flame Dragon Tribe mixed in.

One was about the night – there was a Tribe whose Shaman was very afraid of the dark, so he spent most of his life learning a Shaman Technique to make things as bright as day during the night.

“Hahaha…” Su Bai laughed heartily hearing this and said: “This is the power of science. It is completely unrelated to Shaman Technique.”

Building a power plant required many processes. It was the harnessing of nature’s power. It was completely unrelated to Shaman Techniques.

“Power of science?” Sha Lan was hearing this term for the first time, her expression very unfamiliar.

“I know this one. The power of science.” Yu Ying laughed along, as this was not her first time hearing the term.

“Then Shaman, let’s build a power plant. Don’t we still have lots of iron sand?” Yan Hua’s excitement rose again after just calming down.

At times like these, she always looked forward to seeing what Su Bai would do. After all, everything he created was amazing and very helpful for the Tribe’s development.

“We can’t build a power plant yet. We need to wait for the weather to be right” Su Bai looked up at the bright Sun.

He already had plans in mind. They really could not build a power plant in this sunny weather.

Of course, he was only talking about making the materials to build the power plant. They could not make the materials needed for the power plant in this weather.

“I see,” Yan Hua responded, half-understanding.
