Main question is do I have modern knowledge or not?
If yes - then apply everything I know from primitive technology and education.
Will try to reach some level of progress, probably will be able to get to steam machines and telegraph in one lifetime.
If no - then will be just strolling with everyone and enjoying nature as usual.
Having access to the raw materials is the hard part, depending on where you are. If the place your or any other tribes migrates around lacks the raw rocks, you’re shit outta luck.
Copper and tin are relatively easy to work, as you can melt the metal into an earthen or sand mold. A furnace that can melt it isn’t too hard to create. From that to a steam engine isn’t that big of a jump, the Greeks figured that out but never thought about making it do labor.
Another hurdle is surviving long enough, as you wouldn’t have access to sanitation or medicine.
Dude saying just melting some ore is enought and then you basicly have a steam engine is so wild. Do you have any experience in metal working? How would you create the round parts like the piston and the bore? What about valves?
The greek steam enigne woold have not created significant power for anything usefull. I would bet that most of you in this thread would not be able to build a steam engine from metal if you had acess to a home depot.
Ok just out of curiosity, how do you plan to generate power for your telegraphing? Also how do you plan to get the information out of the circuit on the other end?
For the relatively short range we can generate required power from manual generators, all we will need is a cable extrusion technology and the copper is soft, so we will probably be able to get some decent results after a year or two of working with melted copper.
Ok how are you going to isolate the copper? Have you ever worked with extruding copper? Copper wire is not made from extruding hot copper. Up to a certain size you roll ot while hot and then you draw it through hole in a polished hard material like diamond or carbide. Between a number of passes you then anneal it. I think you really overestmate how hard all of the things are yyou claim. Can i ask in what field your degree is in?

How? You’d need metallurgy for that

I have a decent engineering degree. It’s okay.

Then it’s just some magnets and a copper circuit.
