Lin Qingshan was not very clear about the specific operations on earth in his previous life, from stone to cement, but there were two procedures that were definitely indispensable, namely crushing and calcining.

Crushing is very simple, just breaking the stone into pieces, while calcination is very particular and must maintain a high temperature of thousands of degrees for a long time.

Ordinary stoves cannot achieve this effect. Common stoves are low and open, and most of the heat will be lost naturally.

But the blast furnace for steelmaking can definitely meet the conditions.

Lin Qingshan planned to let the craftsmen use the existing conditions to try it first.

The stone in the waste rock pile is a bit like granite, with a bluish-gray surface, but at the fractures of the stone, there is an obvious off-white color, giving it a bit of a lime feel.

Lin Qingshan randomly selected some stones.

He ordered people to get a sledgehammer, and ordered the craftsmen to pound the stone into fine pieces, then send it to the idle blast furnace, ignite it, seal the furnace, and start calcining the raw materials.

This process takes a long time, so we can only check the results tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Lin Qingshan led the craftsmen to the blast furnace in the west of the clan area.

The fire in the furnace has been extinguished, and Lin Qingshan asked the craftsman to take out the gravel that was put in yesterday.

After long-term high-temperature calcination, the appearance of the crushed stones has undergone tremendous changes. Their texture is no longer hard and has become loose, and their color has completely changed from blue-gray to white.

Lin Qingshan was delighted, this was almost exactly the same as the lime he had seen in his previous life!

The main component of stone is calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate will be reduced to calcium oxide under high temperature conditions. Calcium oxide is lime. The reason is very simple.

Of course, although it is simple, Lin Qingshan will never explain it to his tribe.

"Chief, is this what you want?" a craftsman asked.

"Yes, this is lime." Although there was no further testing, he already had a greater degree of confidence.

"Lime? What is the use of this lime?" another craftsman asked.

"It can help us build the castle quickly!" Lin Qingshan said with a smile: "You are all craftsmen who know how to build. I hope to use this lime to improve the current construction process."

"Patriarch, we usually use clay and green bricks to build our houses. What role can this lime play?"

"I don't know the specifics, so I need your help." Lin Qingshan thought for a while and then said: "You can try mixing lime or river sand into the clay and see the effect."

"You can just try it and come back to me in three days to report the progress. If your experiment is successful, you will be rewarded heavily!"

The bonding effect of lime is already very close to that of cement. Lin Qingshan gave some ideas to the craftsmen, and the rest of the work was left to the craftsmen.

As a clan leader, you cannot do everything yourself, otherwise you will be exhausted.

Not only that, once the results are achieved, the credit will also be attributed to the craftsmen.

…

Early next morning.

"Clan leader, Liandou Haidongqing has reached the bottleneck stage of transformation." Lin Changye said to Lin Qingshan: "Do you want to go over and take a look."

The growth process of monsters can be roughly divided into three stages: infancy, growth and maturity.

From the infancy stage to the growth stage, or from the growth stage to the maturity stage, there will be a major transformation.

The two-headed crabs raised by Lin are a different species of crabgrass, the jade-clawed crabgrass.

Their bloodline is comparable to that of a dragon. Lin Qingshan estimates that when these two Haidongqings enter the mature stage, they will reach a level comparable to the Purple Mansion Realm.

This is their first transformation.

Before that, they had been in their infancy, but even so, their strength was already comparable to the peak of the Kaiyuan Realm.

In recent months, Mr. Lin has purchased a large amount of Pei Yuan Dan at any cost and fed it to two Haidongqings.

Today, they are finally about to undergo the transformation from infancy to growth.

It is conceivable that once the transformation is successful, the strength of the two Haidongqings will make a qualitative leap. By then, the Lin family will have added two powerful war beasts.

For such a big event, Lin Qingshan naturally had to go and see it in person.

"Come on, let's go there and take a look!"

Lin Qingxue was initially responsible for raising the two-headed crabs.

Later, they grew in size, and Lin Qingxue's small yard was no longer suitable for raising them.

Lin Qingshan asked the tribesmen to build another large shed with some hay inside as a nest for the two sea turtles.

After that, the two of them walked towards Haidong Qingwochao together.

After a while, Lin Qingshan and his uncle arrived in front of Haidongqing's shack.

At this time, many tribesmen were gathered here.

Since Hai Dongqing was moved to the shack, the tribesmen can come and feed them on a regular basis. This is Lin Qingshan's suggestion. It is not necessary for the tribesmen to get close to Hai Dongqing, but they are familiar with each other.

Lin Qingshan's goal for the two Haidongqings is to cultivate them into the family's fighting beasts and open up territory for the Lin family.

The tribesmen will inevitably fight side by side with Hai Dongqing in the future, so it is necessary to cultivate some emotional foundation.

"Hello, patriarch!"

"Hello, Elder Chang Ye!"

Seeing the two people arriving, the onlookers smiled and said hello.

Under the leadership of Lin Qingshan, the patriarch of the clan, the Lin family is prospering day by day, and the monthly salary of the clan members is also mentioned again and again. Naturally, everyone loves him very much.

Lin Changye has been the family elder for many years. He has always been conscientious, fair and just, and is well respected by his clan members.

"You're welcome." Lin Qingshan smiled at the clan members.

"Quickly give way, clan leaders and elders, come in and take a look!"

The tribesmen squeezed out a passage, and Lin Qingshan and his uncle walked in.

Compared with the end of last year, the two sea turtles have grown a bit bigger. Their wingspan has exceeded one foot, and they are taller than an adult when standing on the ground.

The black and white feathers cover the whole body like a layer of armor, and a pair of claws as crystal clear as white jade contain divine light, making them particularly eye-catching.

At this moment, Haidong's condition at both ends looked a little strange.

There seems to be a powerful force in their bodies. They want to explode, but they can't. From time to time, wisps of green light appear on the feathers on their bodies.

A warrior needs to break through a layer of shackles every time he opens his true energy, concentrates his spiritual consciousness, and opens up his purple mansion.

Similar to humans, monsters also need to break the shackles that bind them when they advance.

The two-headed seaweed is in this state now.

"Uncle Ming, how long have they been like this?" Lin Qingshan turned to a middle-aged man standing next to him and asked.

Uncle Ming's full name is Lin Changming, and the family has arranged for him to be responsible for the daily life of Liangdou Haidongqing.

"Clan Leader Hui, Dabai and Xiaobai started to behave strangely last night, and it has been four or five hours now!" Lin Changming replied.

Lin Qingshan thought for a moment, and it was not easy for Jade Claw Hai Dongqing to attack the shackles in the body. Now is the critical moment for them to advance, so maybe they should give them a helping hand.

"Uncle Ming, take my belt and go to the clan treasury to get some elixirs that can strengthen the body and strengthen the body." Lin Qingshan said to Lin Changming.

After that, he took off the sign representing his clan leader status from his waist and handed it to Lin Changming.

"Okay, clan leader." Lin Changming took the badge and ran towards the clan treasury's common room in a flash.
