Chapter 31: The Iron Age
After piercing this layer of window paper, there are no taboos between the two, and they are like husband and wife working hard to live in Bai Ji. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Yanzhi's main task every day is to find food, and Zhen Yue's task is to deal with food, Baiji dinosaurs are everywhere, there is no shortage of meat, but the digestive system of human beings in the 21st century is very delicate, unable to drink blood like animals, swallow alive, must refine the processing of ingredients and improve the taste, in order to effectively relieve the pressure of mechanical stress and excessive toxicity on the stomach, a large amount of meat consumption will also cause cholesterol and arteriosclerosis, so there must be an appropriate amount of plant food included in the recipe.
On the earth of the White Age, ferns accounted for a considerable proportion, and vegetarian dinosaurs had no problem eating ferns, because the stomach and intestines of dinosaurs contained a large number of parasites and enzymes, which could decompose, ferment, and absorb inhibitors, toxins, cellulose and structural carbohydrates in plant foods, while the human stomach and intestines did not have this function, so they could only find plants that could be eaten.
Zhen Yue told Liu Yanzhi all this knowledge, she was a biology enthusiast when she was in junior high school, and she participated in the "Jurassic" summer camp.
"It's really not possible, there's another way." Zhen Yue gritted her teeth and said, "The Inuit people living in the Arctic don't have any plant food sources, so they grabbed a caribou and flayed it and ate the half-digested moss in their stomachs. ”
"I see, this method works, but it doesn't work yet." Liu Yanzhi understood what Zhen Yue meant, she had been in Baiji for several days, and she had suffered from severe constipation, and it would be a big trouble if she didn't eat some vegetarian food.
Liu Yan flew straight out of his small castle, after the heavy rain, he pulled out dozens of trees and sharpened the two ends and planted them in the soil to make a wall, at least to defend against the invasion of small dinosaurs, and also had the prototype of the castle in appearance, his task today is to find green plants that can be eaten, and there is a long way to go.
At present, it is found that only ginkgo biloba is edible, and the ginkgo tree is a living fossil, a tree species that has been handed down from ancient times, but it is far from enough to eat only ginkgo biloba, Liu Yanzhi is looking for every different type of plant, and picks some baskets that are placed behind him, the basket is made of rattan by Zhen Yue, which is very rough and simple, and it is better than nothing.
This is Shennong's experiment of tasting a hundred herbs, he flew out a hundred kilometers away, picked a basket full of all kinds of wild vegetables, and was about to fly back when he found a prey.
It was a small mammal, said to be small, but in fact it was two meters tall at the shoulders and five meters long, and it was on top of a medium-sized SUV, with four legs on the ground and a big tail, which looked like it was not the same as a dinosaur.
After a struggle, Liu Yanzhi crippled this unknown beast, and flew back to its habitat with a heavy prey on his back, perhaps because of the atmospheric concentration of the Bai Age, his flight speed and strength have increased compared to the twenty-first century, and it is effortless to fly with a one-ton animal on his back.
Back in the small castle, Liu Yanzhi threw the prey in the yard, ready to slaughter and peel the skin, Zhen Yue made clay pots with clay at the door of the house, because there was no rotating production table, the pots were not made evenly, with pottery, water can be stored, and food can be heated by boiling, and many bitter plant leaves and tubers can change the taste and remove toxins after cooking, which is a living utensil that must be manufactured.
Seeing that Liu Yan came back with a beast, Zhen Yue was very happy, because the leather of the beast was much more delicate than the skin of the dinosaur, and it could come in handy.
Liu Yanzhi took the Swiss Army knife, and when he cut the trees, he directly used the palm of his hand to chop, but he had to use the knife to engage in fine work, and he was about to get off the knife, when suddenly Zhen Yue screamed: "Wait! ”
"What's wrong?" Liu Yanzhi immediately stopped, and the blade stopped at the throat of the beast.
"It's a she-beast." Zhen Yue said.
"So what?" Liu Yan was puzzled.
"It has cubs in its belly." Zhen Yue pointed to the beast's huge belly and said.
"Okay, for the sake of your face, don't kill it yet." Liu Yanzhi put away the knife, found a tough rattan to tie the beast's neck, and picked up wild vegetables with Zhen Yue to cook and eat.
Under the eaves of their cabin, there are pieces of pickled dinosaur meat, and there is a small saltwater lake two hundred miles away, the lake is full of crystalline sodium chloride, and the salt reserves are enough for two people to eat until the end of the White Period, and it is most appropriate to use coarse salt to marinate meat, and some poor necks, heads, and claws, throw them away, it is better to feed them.
Zhen Yue took two huge velociraptor claws and walked towards the prey, the mother beast grinned with her teeth, and her fierce face was revealed, but when the food was thrown to her mouth, it was much gentler, Bai Ji's mammals were simple-minded, they ate something when they had something, and when someone expressed goodwill, it held goodwill, and was no longer hostile to Zhen Yue, but it was still jealous and hateful to Liu Yanzhi.
Among the plants that Liu Yanzhi brought back, there are finally a few that can barely be swallowed, and there are several that can be eaten after boiling, and the most gratifying thing is the discovery of several berries, which proves that it is now in the late White Period, because in the earlier period of the Mesozoic Era, there were no flowering angiosperms on the earth, let alone berries.
"With berries, you can supplement vitamin C, make jam, and make wine." Zhen Yue danced.
The next day, Liu Yanzhi brought a new surprise, a beehive, Bai Ji already has a primitive form of bees, bees collect flowers to make nectar, becoming a source of sweet taste in nature.
That night, the two ate a meal of honey barbecue, a small piece of velociraptor meat smeared with honey was roasted golden brown on a low fire, dipped in finely ground salt powder and chewed, and then drank two sips of fish soup sprinkled with salt, and ate two berries, which was simply better than the gods.
Ammonite is a sea animal, similar to a conch, and Arrow Stone is like a small octopus, both of which occupy the bottom of the sea, except for large and medium-sized reptiles, they are fishy, fresh and fat, and can be used as a substitute for oysters, but there is no garlic to taste.
"If we find the primitive millet, we will open up the wasteland and farm." Liu Yanzhi said, "Expand the family bigger, give birth to a large group of children, and continue the human race." ”
"Who is going to have a baby with you." Zhen Yue said angrily, she had imagined the future of getting married and having children countless times, but she never thought that she would live and raise children like a primitive person in Bai Ji.
The female beast tethered in the yard was hissing, and Zhen Yue hurriedly put down the food: "It's not good, it's going to give birth." ”
Liu Yanzhi stopped Zhen Yue: "Don't panic, let it give birth, you can't help, but it will add to the chaos, wild animals are already very lucky to have a safe place to give birth, it is not a pampered human, you have to go to the hospital to give birth to a child, and you have to be confined, you see, it's okay for a while." ”
As Liu Yanzhi said, it didn't take much effort for the mother beast to give birth to five cubs, and the cubs didn't open their eyes, and they crawled everywhere with blood foam, screaming, and very cute.
After a period of tossing, the five cubs all lay down in front of the mother beast to drink milk, and the mother beast lovingly licked the dirt on the cubs, her eyes were soft, and her motherhood was radiant.
With the protection of the human castle, all five cubs survived, and they got along well with the two humans, becoming the first generation of domestic animals they raised.
When the trunk was carved with thirty ways, the home of the two had begun to see the scale, Liu Yanzhi built the fifth wooden house on stilts, specially used to store pickled dragon meat, he caught some velociraptors and raised them in captivity, just because Zhen Yue said that the meat of the velociraptor tasted like chicken, in fact, the velociraptor was a cunning person with a relatively high IQ in the dinosaurs, but compared with the mammals with a higher degree of evolution, it was almost meaningful, and the old Liu family raised six fierce beasts with sharp fangs, which were responsible for hunting and guarding the prey.
These beasts, Liu Yanzhi named them "primitive dogs." ”
This is the continent ruled by dinosaurs, primitive dogs are the objects of hunting, second-class citizens, now there are people to support them, every time they fight with dinosaurs are triumphant, dinosaurs are full, farewell to the precarious days of the past, can be described as grateful to Dade, vivid, with the master hunting are full of pride and pride.
When the trunk was carved with sixty paths, Liu Yanzhi had another major harvest, he picked up a few pieces of meteoric iron, and now he could finally cross the Stone Age directly from the primitive society and enter the Iron Age.
There are too many things needed to smelt iron, first of all, a high-temperature smelting furnace is needed, there is only firewood fuel in the world, which cannot provide a high enough temperature, so Liu Yan is looking for new fuel everywhere, and once he occasionally passes by the sea, he sees a strange whirlpool on the sea, and dives into the seabed and finds that there is a crack with high-intensity gas erupting outward, combined with the pungent smell in the air, he judged that this is methane gas.
In order to collect methane gas, Liu Yan slaughtered a dragon, peeled off the whole dragon skin, made a huge air bag, and sealed the sewing position with gum, which can hold several cubic meters of natural gas at a time.
With natural gas, plus oil-rich trees, and complete fuel, Zhen Yue helped build a furnace, and then made a blower out of dragon skin, and the original iron-making furnace began to work, first heating the meteorite red in the flames, and then clamping it out and repeatedly forging it with a hammer made of other meteorite irons to make it into the desired shape, and then it can be used after cooling.
Liu Yanzhi finally didn't have to rely on the poor Swiss Army knife, he built himself axes, hammers, chisels, knives, hoes, all kinds of handy small objects, hooks, pliers, nails.
He said to Zhen Yue: "I can use an axe to make a full set of Ming-style furniture, can you believe it?" ”
Zhen Yue pouted and said I believe it, you have told this story 800 times, you learned it from an old carpenter in Chinatown when you lived with Lin Su in San Francisco in the 1900s.
Liu Yanzhi said: "Anyway, with enough time and enough land, I can build a Forbidden City for you." ”
Zhen Yue said: "You are a superman, I will live for a few more decades at most, and you can live for tens of millions of years, not to mention the Forbidden City, the space shuttle has been built by you." ”
While chatting, the primitive dogs outside became restless, Liu Yanzhi also sensed that there was danger, and hurriedly pulled Zhen Yue out, rose into the air to observe, only to see that hundreds of miles away in the night was full of fire, an active volcano erupted, and the hot magma engulfed everything.
The power of nature shuddered, but something even more terrifying happened, the second moon in the sky became even bigger and took on an eerie scarlet color.
