The surrounding savages were terrified and kept kowtowing. I had to ask Luo Yaqin to pacify them.
During this time, the savages were constantly learning, and occasionally we could communicate, though the topics were limited.
But for me, this was enough. As long as they obeyed my commands, everything else was not an issue.
Currently, their weapons were quite primitive, such as spears. Although they used poisoned tips, they were clearly insufficient against modern weapons and soldiers.
"Now I've decided to help them improve their weapons…" I discussed with Luo Yaqin in the room.
"I'm not very skilled in this area…" Luo Yaqin said with a smile. She could help with medicine, but weapons were outside her expertise.
Next, I spent a whole day searching the vicinity.
However, I didn't find anything useful.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered the shipwreck.
Without a second thought, I led a group of savages along the coast to search.
Hard work pays off. By noon the next day, I finally discovered a dilapidated shipwreck.
This shipwreck looked quite old, and most of its supplies had rotted away.
Fortunately, the ship was made of iron. Although the iron showed signs of rust and corrosion, its overall integrity was not compromised.
I immediately instructed the savages to dismantle the ship into small pieces using stones and bring them back.
There were no high-tech materials available here, so we had to use the most primitive methods to melt the iron.
I hollowed out a large tree to make a simple bellows and then burned firewood to produce charcoal.
This process was tedious, so I taught it to the other savages.
Then, using the bellows and charcoal, I melted all the iron pieces.
First, I made a hammer and then simply used mud to create a mold.
The mold was for an arrowhead, and I poured the molten iron into it.
Before long, an iron arrowhead was made.
After it was made, I polished it with a stone and then removed the tip of one of their arrows, replacing it with the arrowhead I had just made.
Seeing this novel sight, the savages seemed very interested and followed me closely.
With arrowheads, we also needed to make a more powerful bow, otherwise, the force wouldn't be enough.
I used the iron again, hammering it repeatedly, and then, using the same method, created a mold for a bow.
Then, I forged a bow out of iron.
The power of this weapon was extraordinary. To convince the savages, I took them to a large tree that required two people to encircle.
Then I drew the bow and shot an arrow, channeling the Shepherd's Power.
The Shepherd's Power enveloped the entire bow and arrow, emitting a faint green glow.
I knew others couldn't see it, but for me, the enhancement was significant.
With almost no hesitation, I released the string, and the arrow shot out, instantly hitting the large tree.
The arrow, carrying terrifying force, pierced through the large tree in an instant!
Damn it!
This is what a bow and arrow should be!
This is a weapon that can kill!
I was confident that one such shot could instantly kill several people.
In terms of sheer power, the arrow I just shot was probably more powerful than many handguns.
Upon witnessing this, the savages' admiration for me deepened.
I explained to them that it was just due to better equipment and then handed over the entire forging process to them.
Although the process wasn't overly complex, it would still take some time for them to master.
So, for nearly a week, I taught them blacksmithing, how to select suitable arrow shafts, how to attach them, and how to manufacture bows and arrows.
After a week, they were able to independently make bows, arrows, and arrowheads.
Furthermore, they specifically assigned two savages to patrol the coastline, bringing back any shipwrecks they found.
All the iron from the shipwrecks was utilized.
They also applied some specially made poison, which further enhanced the power of these arrows.
Seeing the savages excitedly taking their bows and arrows to test them, I suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.
If these savages could be utilized perfectly, they would form a formidable fighting force.
In the following days, I taught them other things, such as spears.
With the previous experience of making bows and arrows, their learning speed increased rapidly.
After nearly half a month, all their weapons had been replaced with new iron tools.
Their overall combat power had more than doubled.
