012. Weapons and traps
Because it has been raining heavily in the past few days, and the stream outside has also risen to the mouth of the valley, it is not very convenient to go out to hunt, so these days, everyone is nesting in the cave, relying on the prey that was caught some time ago, so that Sima Pianpian has to feel lucky, fortunately she saved food in advance, otherwise unless she makes a move, so many people will starve, or they can only run to dig grass roots to eat like they used to.
After a while, she took advantage of this time to work together during the day and impart knowledge at night.
During the day, it is mainly to supplement some necessities of life, such as the clothes and shoes mentioned earlier, the basket rattan nets and other things mentioned earlier, and also let everyone make a lot of stone tools and bone tools.
Among them, some stone bowls and stone basins were polished, and there were even a few stone jars and a large cauldron, which were currently only used to hold water, because there was no salt, Sima Pianpian was not interested in cooking, at most he squeezed some wild juice on the barbecue, which had already made the primitive people feel very satisfied. Cook the meat first, now every time before the meal will boil a pot of water, the bag of salt she did not hide, sometimes pour some in the boiling water, everyone scoop a bowl with the barbecue to eat, it is also seasoning.
Polishing these stone tools not only improves the dexterity of people's hands, but also develops their brains. Sima Pianpian first made the stone tool shape that she could think of, and then let everyone guess the use, so all kinds of answers would pop up, she felt that she was teaching kindergarten children, the atmosphere was hot and interesting. After some "brainstorming", she will teach them the general use of the stone tool and how to make zuò, so that everyone can learn to make it. In this way, even simple and boring work becomes a little interesting.
She also taught primitive people to make zuò weapons, the previous weapons were basically made by herself, most of them were spears, and some, she used wooden sticks to make stone axes and stone hammers according to the stone tools polished by the left-behind people, and now, she had to teach primitive people to do it themselves, how to sharpen wood with stone axes, how to install sharp stones on one end of wood, how to tie them firmly with animal tendons, etc., these are all skills they must learn.
In addition to spears, stone hammers and stone axes, she also wants to make other types of weapons, such as long-range bows and arrows, blow arrows, whips, return targets, etc., melee ones such as bone spurs, maces, etc., about how to make these weapons, she can find a lot of information from the database, as long as you experiment a lot, you can always find the most suitable materials and methods to make zuò, the key is still the use of weapons.
After the weapon system comes out, you have to be able to use it, but not everyone is suitable for the same weapon, you have to take into account everyone's strength, interests and hands-on skills, so you have to learn to use it differently, this has already involved the issue of the troops, Sima Pianpian glanced at everyone, just like that, I feel that I seem to be thinking a little far......
But she will not give up, to develop, first of all, there must be a population, dozens of people may be able to build a cottage, or a small village, but it is impossible to go further, unless it takes a lot of time, through the efforts of several generations, this is absolutely impossible in this strange world surrounded by unknown dangers on all sides, how can we talk about development without stability?
Therefore, she will definitely take them out of the valley and go to a wider area to establish a stable human base, and gather the small primitive groups scattered in various places to form a certain scale of power.
The more scattered the human race, the lower the survivability, and uniting the human race against the monsters is her next goal......
But now, she is not in a hurry to go out, she has to train this group of people first, and then these people can become her management, and she doesn't have to do everything herself.
As a result, this group of primitive people who are working in full swing have no idea that their future has become a game-like existence in the minds of their leaders.
……
The weather finally cleared, and the morning training did not stop when it rained, and compared to the beginning, now the amount of exercise in the morning has tripled, jogging three thousand meters, squat jumps and frog jumps each sixty, but from today onwards, in addition to maintaining this amount in the morning, Sima Pianpian also plans to add additional training, such as weight-bearing cross-country running, swimming, wilderness survival, rock climbing, fighting skills and weapon practice, etc., the increase in training time means that the hunting time will be reduced in the future, so it is necessary to improve the efficiency of hunting.
To improve the efficiency of hunting, in addition to improving the ability of primitive people themselves and the power of borrowed weapons, another point is to use various traps.
There are many kinds of traps, the common ones are digging pits, making rope sleeves, and using nets...... As mentioned in the information, the working principle of the trap is nothing more than the use of a combination of traps to trap, injure, suffocate, hang, entangle, etc. And the traps that Sima Pianpian wants to do today are the common ones.
After preparing her tools, she led the group to a large forest on the north side of the valley. Under the detection of spiritual power, it was found that there were many animals in this forest, and there were a few unknown large creatures that could be identified as carnivores at a glance.
For traps, Sima Pianpian herself is also a novice, she wants to catch animals, just go over with a "shocking stab", how can she be so troublesome. Therefore, today's action, like everyone else, is also in a mood of half-anxiety and half-expectation.
First of all, she looked for traces of animals, and after a few days of rain in the forest, all traces were washed away, and after looking for it, she couldn't find it, which made her a little depressed. However, she didn't give up, she searched back and forth, and finally found a few trails for her, you must know that this group of primitive people almost always went to the grassland downstream of the stream to hunt, this forest is too dangerous, it is forbidden to approach, so the existence of these trails is intriguing, Sima Pianpian will treat them as animals.
So, the construction began.
She had people dig pits in batches along the paths, all two meters in diameter and three meters deep, and threw the excavated soil far away, and then camouflaged it with branches and leaves, and the soil was soft after the rain, and with the newly made stone shovels, it didn't take much time to dig these pits.
She also set up rope traps between bushes that looked like animals had burrowed, as well as a trap for hanging animals in mid-air.
As a bait, she endured the distress and sprinkled some salt on each trap according to the prompts on the information, but as soon as she sprinkled it, she regretted it, she knew it earlier, she brought some barbecue meat over, she was inexperienced, but now it has been sown, and she can't pick it up, so she can only sigh and leave, and take everyone to the next hunting ground.
The next hunting ground is the river, and the most classic example of using nets as traps is fishing. As a fishing net, it is more flexible than ordinary traps, and if the fish does not come, the net can also go to the fish, as long as there are fish in the water, you are not afraid of not being able to catch it.
Thus, the vigorous fishing operation began.
The river is not big, about four or five meters wide, Sima Pianpian probed it with spiritual power, but it is very deep, the shallow one is five meters, and the deep one is more than eight meters, so there are many fish, and the fish here are very large, most of the fish look very much like grass carp, the average is about half a meter long, Sima Pianpian named them "half a meter grass carp".
The first net was cast, because of nervousness, Sima Pianpian was not in the mood to do anything else, just waited on the shore, and always paid attention to the movement of the fish.
Soon, the fishing net was pulled up, and Sima Pianpian turned on the mental force seismic detection function, and the system showed that there were more than 5,000 catties, which was already a big gain.
The seismic detection function is a small skill to measure the weight of large objects, and she can clearly know the object of about 1,000 catties as long as she simply detects it, and if it exceeds this weight, it is necessary to use seismic detection skills. If you use a small amount of mental force to continuously collide with an object, like a seismic wave, the weight of the object can be calculated immediately from the resistance it is subjected to. If she is given enough time to continuously release her mental power, she can even detect the weight of an entire planet, but it doesn't make much sense for her to do this, which is the interest of scientists.
Looking at a large number of live fish, Sima Pianpian's heart blossomed, this is the feeling of harvest!
She glanced at the crowd, suddenly smiled, and said, "Now, it's time to move the fish......
Everyone felt a shudder in their bodies, how could they feel that the leader smiled so deeply? Unbeknownst to them, their nightmare had already begun......
