Chapter 19 Eating is the Source of Civilization
According to Richie's induction, there are two major beliefs in this Blackstone Valley.
One, God!
Second, rules!
The reason why there are these two beliefs is, of course, for survival, but food is the foundation of survival.
Now they have all been fooled by Richie, thinking that all this is providential, then the rules of man can be put aside, and it can be deduced that the giant python is the food given to them by God, not the huge wild boar.
Food is the foundation of survival.
Richie wanted to stop Nong, but he couldn't because he couldn't overturn his theory.
So they set out at once to the woods.
Li Qi stood on the boulder at the mouth of the valley, looking blankly at the farmer and the others who seemed to be far away in an instant, and he was puzzled in his heart, if he wanted to say that the kid was Shennong's, I didn't believe it if I died, but why was it so coincidental? Moreover, everything here is so bizarre, if you understand it from Shennong's point of view, it can be explained.
"Oh my God! What the hell is going on? Forget it, forget it, it's impossible for me to figure it out for the time being. ”
Li Qi shook his head, and when he looked at it again, he found that the peasants had disappeared, and suddenly looked up at the sky again, and it was still bright, but he couldn't find where the sun was, and said to himself: "It seems that the days are very long these days, but the speed of darkness is very fast, and everything is really strange." Speaking of this, he subconsciously glanced at his watch, and said angrily: "What am I doing with this rotten watch?" ”
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he quietly went to a relatively hidden place behind the boulder and sat down, and took his backpack to him.
"How much is this password?"
Li Qi squatted on the ground and looked at the combination lock on his backpack, "That's right! It's my time travel day, and now birthdays don't mean anything to me. Speaking of the back, he couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.
Because the contents of this backpack are so important, there will definitely be a password device, although it is a purely mechanical password device, but it is almost impossible to open without a password, even if it is with a knife, or even with fire.
After entering the password, Li Qi opened his backpack, fumbled through it with both hands, and after a while, took out a palm-sized electronic device.
Li Qi pressed the power button and said with a smile: "After turning on the machine, I will immediately take a few photos, in case I cross again, I can also take it out to show off." Ha ha. ”
But after a long time, the screen was still black.
"Big brother, no."
Li Qi pressed it again, but there was still no response, "This is a super high-quality technology product, and no one has touched it, why can't it be opened?" Is there no electricity? It's impossible, this is solar-charged, and there is a super battery guarantee, there is no way to turn it on! ”
His trip is related to the survival of mankind, it is impossible to get an inferior product for him, it must be of the best quality, but after a long time, there is still no movement at all, and Li Qi is about to go crazy.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he looked at the watch again, and said to himself, "That's right." I remember a scientist saying that the huge magnetic field that I was carrying through was a little different from the Earth's magnetic field, and even if anti-magnetic electronics were installed, it could be magnetized. Oh, my God! It can't be so tragic, it really made the crow's mouth right, I even got some big seeds in it, the women here grow like that, those seeds are very important, damn it, I should have brought some magazines to guarantee it. ”
It turned out that after the appearance of the large magnetic field brought by Richie, all the electronic equipment in the laboratory failed, and scientists could only use anti-magnetic equipment, but in order to open the space-time tunnel, it was necessary to stimulate the large magnetic field.
From the current point of view, his theory is correct.
In this great joy and sorrow, Li Qi's tears were about to fall, and he choked up: "It seems that the only way to use the most primitive method is primitive, primitive, woo woo, I still came to the primitive society." ”
The more you say this, the more bleak it becomes.
He held back his tears, took out a heavy book from it, and opened it with a bitter face, it was all in English, not even a number, scientists believe that in ancient times, English words, Li Qi understood, and the data in it was all encrypted, even if you understand English, you can't understand it, because data is the most important part of science and technology, and if you talk about technology without data, you are playing hooligan.
As soon as he flipped through the catalog, Li Qi's face suddenly changed, "Bronze Age? The Age of Steel? Mining technology? Steelmaking technology? Steam industry? Oil industry? Electrification industry? ”
He flipped through it excitedly, and shouted in his mouth: "It's over, the earliest scientific and technological foundation of this Nima started from the Qin Dynasty, so how to make up for the period from the primitive society to the middle of the Qin Dynasty?" Why don't you get some pottery and porcelain skills! Belch... I think I know how to do this. But—but this information has a ball, and now there is not even a rake here, how can I make steel!" ”
It turns out that scientists really didn't expect Li Qi to travel to this era, even if they did, it was useless, if it really came to a primitive society, then don't think too much, surviving is victory. It is impossible for scientists to know how to jump from the Stone Age to the Industrial Age, first of all, in the eyes of scientists, it is impossible for them to communicate with primitive people, how do they know that their language is the same.
This book tells Li Qi how to use ancient technology and manpower to quickly improve technology, which is a very good book.
But Li Qi came to an era where there was no technical foundation at all.
What a tragedy of time-travel!
Bang!
Li Qi angrily hit the book directly with his head, and said, "How should I play now?" ”
After staring at it for a long time, Li Qi suddenly remembered something, took out a box from his backpack, opened the box, and saw that there were bottles inside.
The bottle has English letters written on it, corn, potatoes, hybrid rice, and other high-yield crops, as well as rubber, cotton and other technology-assisted crops.
"If you can't, then I'll stop playing!"
Li Qi looked at those bottles, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "When I crossed over last time, I had no long body, and I didn't have the assistance of scientists, and I didn't make Da Song stronger, so why should I rely on them?" Besides, I can't rely on them now, so why don't I forget them and follow my routine. ”
As he spoke, he frowned and said, "My routine starts with cooking!" Cooking? Cooking? This cooking skill is related to eating, and speaking of which, isn't this human civilization starting from eating? ”
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly lit up, and a familiar routine gradually took shape in his mind, and he said excitedly: "Go to TM's steelmaking, that thing is too unreliable, or salt, oil, sauce and vinegar are more reliable, what is steelmaking without these, can steel be eaten as a meal, can't you still talk about a ball." Okay, I'll start with salt, oil, sauce and vinegar to speed up civilization. ”
After figuring this out, Li Qi couldn't help but suddenly open up, full of confidence, and happily checked the items inside, although the computer can't be used, and the book is not necessary to open it for the time being, but it doesn't mean that Li Qibai has a trip, there are many important things in it, especially life-saving, what is the universal antidote, trauma medicine, etc., and some daily necessities.
After checking for a while, he found that there was not one thing missing, Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly frowned, and said to himself: "By the way, there is something I still have to figure out." After tidying up, he returned to the cave with his backpack on his back.
"Richie! Richie! ”
Man and a couple of little kids suddenly ran over.
"Richie, what's that?"
He asked, pointing to Richie's backpack with his little finger.
Li Qi touched his little head and said with a smile: "It's some of my daily necessities." ”
"Groceries?"
"It's some hides and bones I brought."
The kids nodded, as if they hadn't expected Richie to lie.
Kui said: "Li Qi, did you really kill a long worm today?" ”
Li Qi said: "Is there anything wrong with this? ”
Kui said: "I heard Chi say that long worms are more difficult to deal with than four-legged beasts, in the past, some of our people in Blackstone Valley were eaten by long worms, your strength is so weak, how can you kill long worms." ”
A young man beside him said, "Who said it can't, isn't there still a farmer?" ”
"Nongke can't beat red."
"But Nong has a crystal belly now."
"Yes! Nong now has a Crystal Belly, and his power may have become even stronger. ”
......
Li Qi rolled his eyes, pointed at the group of little boys, and said, "You really can't talk." Ignore you, I'll go find Taba first. ”
So saying, he walked to the entrance of the cave.
The front of the cave was busy again, but everyone was quietly talking about the crystal belly, but a little more happy.
"It's good now, with Crystal Belly, we will never eat those poisonous fruits and poisonous weeds again!"
"Heaven is so good to us! Woowoo----! ”
......
Li Qi was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and said in his heart, this cowhide is blowing a little big! Sneaking into the cave, I saw Taba sitting cross-legged under the mural, frowning and muttering something in his mouth.
"Taba!" Richie walked over and shouted softly.
Taba turned to look at Richie.
Li Qi said tentatively: "Taba, what did the heavens tell you just now?" ”
Taba was confused, "All I heard was 'Crystal Belly'. ”
Li Qi said: "Then do you know what crystal means?" ”
Taba shook his head.
You don't even know about crystals, and the heavens still tell you about crystal belly? It couldn't be that this old man was fooled by me and had auditory hallucinations! But I have to say, I really make a point! Li Qi thought thoughtfully.
Taba suddenly asked, "Richie, do you know why Nong has a crystal belly?" ”
Li Qi was stunned by the question, and said, "You said it, this is a gift from God!" ”
Taba nodded, "I know it's providence, but what caused Nong's belly to become a crystal belly?" There must be a reason for this, it's like boiling water with fire, and then it will come out of the white gas. ”
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and then his throat was full of swear words, damn it! When I tell you about science, you tell me about superstition, when I tell you about superstition, you tell me about science, how can I talk about it!
Suddenly, his eyes widened, no, he forgot to tell the farmer, don't tell the snake gall bladder, oops, this is terrible! Glancing at Taba again, he saw that he was still looking at himself with a confused expression, and thought to himself, that kid would probably say it, since this is the case, it is better for me to say it first. So, he told Taba about the peasants' eating snake gall, and said, "This is all providence!" ”
"I see." Taba nodded thoughtfully.
Li Qi glanced at Taba, saw that he didn't seem to have any doubts, and suddenly said, "Taba, every time you pray, is it spiritual?" ”
Taba nodded immediately.
Li Qi said: "Then they just beat a beast and came back. ”
Taba said, "Yes! It's the beast that eats you. ”
Li Qi said: "Did they see any other beasts?" ”
Taba shook his head.
It can't really be so evil, does anyone know that I will be here, but it's a good thing for me, maybe there is a mystery of my crossing hidden here. Li Qi was a little excited in his heart.
In fact, when he fooled them with that piece of snake meat, he also fooled himself, and he made a very bold assumption, if Taba's prayer was very effective, then the red they should have gone there to hunt that day, that is to say, there must be prey over there, and the fierce beast that pursued him that day was their only harvest, that is, God knew that he would come, so he let the red and them go hunting nearby.
However, this assumption was too bold for Li Qi to believe it, and he asked, "Taba, there is one more thing I don't understand." ”
Taba immediately said, "What's the matter?" ”
Li Qi said: "Why do you always say that if we leave our territory, there will be a catastrophe?" ”
Taba sighed and said, "Because we're too weak." ”
