Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire

Chapter 134 - 134: Brass age

I turned to the Lieutenant Builder Bee, who breathlessly watched my inspection.

"Make a small hat for the chimney, Lieutenant. A cap, I mean, a cone cap. So water doesn't fall into them when it rains, but smoke could still escape."

"Caps for chimneys? Oh, yes! We will make this and every chimney pretty caps, Father!"

The caps ended up having spikes that resembled my bone crown if you squinted hard enough.

Tomorrow morning, Re

The small space was really efficient.

Craftsmen Bees used protective leather clothes and aprons, and although they didn't sweat, their faces were flushed from the heat. That 'Heat Resistance' gene they had was doing a lot of work, but I still saw why they had to make so many breaks.

'Perhaps if I will have a spare morphotype in the future, I will give it a lot of resistances, so these bees could take hard jobs like this one.'

Although the smithing and smelting technologies Craftsmen Bees used were primitive, their results—which I've seen already—couldn't be denied!

And there were already ten forges working and 140 more being built. Not just for brass, but for gold, too.

Staring at all the excavation in progress and the columns of smoke rising toward the air, I raised my hands in the air and laughed.

"Metallurgy industry, here I come!"

The forges and smoke didn't agree with Scourge, Disaster, and Woe. Ever since the metallurgy started, they didn't get closer than a hundred meters to Hive Supremo. Thankfully, they didn't leave entirely, and even still brought their "gifts".

No more coins, though—only a few smooth boulders and some colorful dragon scales.

Several more brave Beemarines went on expeditions on dragon backs. However, since I strictly instructed that being lost in the wilderness half a world away from Hive Supremo won't help, they had a hard time finding the exact location of green giants' settlement.

Three days later, the coin was fully reforged into tools.

My girls really worked so, so fast…

Now we had 6000 brass axes, 1000 brass shovels, 3000 brass tongs, 6000 brass knives for various tasks, and whooping 60000 brass needles.

This was enough that the core workers of Hive Supremo were fitted with brass tools, increasing their effectiveness. As for needless, we had enough for the entire Bee Empire!

Not to mention, all the furniture with luxurious gold nails.

Every day, big leather bags of coal and gold were brought from the expanding Camp Rich to Hive Supremo. The gold was swiftly cast into nails, and those used for furniture. Although there wasn't enough for the entire Hive Supremo yet, there was already enough for *me*.

Now I had a bed to cuddle with Ambrosia on, a bookcase for my wax tablets, and most of all… A table and a chair!

No more eating without a table!

And the system hit me with an entire string of notifications.
