Infrastructure Craze (BL) (Full English Translation)

The most fundamental reason lay in this huge lava lake, which could be said to be the center from which the entire Crimson Land radiated outward.

This was the most unique scenery of the Crimson Land.

Zhuang Yu took out a bamboo flute and started playing it. The others stood behind Zhuang Yu without moving.

After about half a song, the entire lava lake began to boil, and a giant firebird of unknown size soared into the sky from the huge lava lake, like a fortress in the starry sky.

The giant bird, engulfed in flames all over, circled in the sky, and for a moment, it was even more dazzling than the sun in the sky. Ancient, primal, vast, as if carrying the oldest myth of this world.

A group of little ones couldn't close their mouths, their jaws dropped in astonishment at the incredibly huge firebird in the sky.

This was the ancestral beast of the Crimson Great City, an ancient divine beast, the Southern Ming Vermilion Bird, like the domineering Black Tortoise of the White Great City, the oldest surviving ancestral beast in this world.

This lava lake was its home.

As the Young Prince of the Crimson Great City, Zhuang Yu could communicate with this ancestral beast.

Before approaching the volcano, they needed to make the ancestral beast leave the huge lava lake. Otherwise, if this Vermilion Bird just flipped over slightly, the lava inside the lake would surge outwards, likely injuring people.

Zhuang Yu's flute stopped, and he had Shao Hao help him put the iron tools into the lava.

Then he let the people of the Yunmeng Tribe go to the volcano to fetch volcanic rock.

A group of little ones stood far away. This was not a safe place at all.

Zhuang Yu directly dug out models of the tools on the sandy ground around the lava.

After the iron melted, it was directly poured into these molds, waiting for them to solidify.

The majestic Vermilion Bird of Fire circled in the sky, and the people on the ground were also busy without stopping. This was the Crimson Land.

The temperature of the lava in the lake was very high, and soon the iron melted into molten iron.

Zhuang Yu had Shao Hao dig trenches to let the molten iron flow into the molds one by one.

Shao Hao glanced at Zhuang Yu. The people of the Crimson Land were indeed the best at fire techniques. They in the White Great City also had some knowledge of fire techniques, but they couldn't do this fundamental level.

It took quite some time for the molten iron to cool down. Zhuang Yu went to see the people of the Yunmeng Tribe carrying volcanic rock. These rocks formed after high-temperature exposure were very solid, and after high-temperature sterilization, no bacteria would grow on them, making them the best material for salt drying.

There were quite a few people from the Yunmeng Tribe, and the team carrying the rocks extended from the lava lake all the way to the dam.

So, from morning till sunset, they kept at it.

The molten iron in the molds also completely cooled down.

Zhuang Yu picked them up and checked. The iron drills, hammers, rakes, and shovels were all well-formed, but the knives for cutting wood still needed sharpening.

Then, carrying the vast crowd, they began to return.

That night, Zhuang Yu called the people of the Ghost Willow Tribe and gave them knives to help make some wooden shafts and iron axe handles.
