Chapter 56 The Temple of Fire
Chapter 56 Fire Temple
A few days later, the construction of the city of Waldo was in full swing, and the buildings in the center of the camp were already beginning to take shape.
In the center of the camp, at the request of Lin Yuan, a building with the largest area was built, using eighteen red pine trees that were more than 100 years old as pillars, which were driven deep into the foundation, and the giant pillars formed a rectangle, about 50 steps long and 30 steps wide.
Below the foundation, a staircase mined little by little with a stone spear leads from the entrance of the building to the perimeter of the Huadu camp.
The huge wood was driven into the ground, and it took hundreds of slaves to fight day and night, and finally formed the extremely strong pillars that served as the skeleton of the entire building.
Lin Yuan named this building the Fire Temple, he had high hopes for this building, in the ancient tribal era, only religious belief was the most powerful force to unite a tribe, what Lin Yuan had to do now was to continue to strengthen this power, so that the Yan clan would be invincible in the next competition.
He knew that the advantages that the Yan people had achieved at present were all due to the fact that they had left the mountains first, they had made pottery, cultivated farmland, farmed, and created slavery......
However, the other tribes are not fools, they also learn and they improve.
The Shennong clan was the competitor that made Lin Yuan unexpected, although the other party did not seize the opportunity of the Yan clan, but their chief was innate and full of curiosity about new things, this matter can be seen from the meeting that day, the other party was willing to pay double the price to buy the experimental product of the pottery, which shows that in the old chief's heart, obtaining the materials itself is far less important than learning how to make it.
This is a potential opponent, Lin Yuan knows it very well in his heart, but he also knows that this is an unstoppable trend, just like the progress of the times and the development of civilization, this is something that Lin Yuan can't change no matter what.
Sooner or later, these primitive people, who are still hiding in the mountains, will also come to the wasteland, imitate the Yan people, cultivate farmland, carry out animal husbandry, learn to build and so on.
Therefore, all material technologies can only bring benefits for a period of time, which is far from the 10,000-year-long plan in Lin Yuan's heart.
He pondered for a long time, and finally figured out one thing, a way to maintain the advantage of the Yan civilization for a long time.
And this temple in front of him was the most important stroke in Lin Yuan's plan.
Under the full efforts of the Yan people, this fire temple has begun to take shape, and Anna and a group of women have collected wild flowers from the wilderness, mashed them into flower sauce of different colors, and smeared them on the huge pillars.
Lin Yuan arranged a few slaves, used a quarter of the clay, and continued to make pottery, and he developed several mass-produced pottery according to the situation of the last experiment, including jars specially used to hold water and deep stomachs, and pottery pots with large mouths on the flat ground for steaming.
Lin Yuan found a way to make these slaves understand the standards of production, and then let them start mass production.
It was necessary to make some before the agreed delivery date with the Bai and Tu, and the tribe was counting on the prey they brought.
Because at present, Lin Yuan has used all the manpower of the tribe on construction, Ye took a part of the slaves to be responsible for farming and grazing, Eggplant and Anna are responsible for the construction of the construction site, only Big Tooth and Blade take the remaining hunters, responsible for the daily tribal defense, there is no extra manpower to go out hunting, besides, the prey in this wilderness is running fast, and those hunters who are used to hunting in the mountains can't catch any animals.
Therefore, the trade agreement with the Bai and Tu tribes was very important, and Lin Yuan decided to raise the level of pottery production to continue.
As for the remaining three-quarters of the clay, Lin Yuan asked the Suiren clan to use all of them to fire pottery shards, which was a thin sheet of pottery, which was much simpler than ordinary pottery, only needed to press the clay mud into a flat shape, and then nest out a small arc, and then put it in the fire to fire, and a simple pottery shard was born.
Lin Yuan does not have as high requirements for the production of pottery as pottery, neither aesthetics nor completeness, the only requirement is output and speed.
He needed a large number of pottery shards to serve as the basic construction of the roof of the camp, but fortunately, the eggplant was not ambiguous, he mobilized the men, women and children of the Suiren clan to go into battle together, everyone lit the fire, and made mud to make mud, a scene in full swing.
Lin Yuan's roof design has finally made a certain breakthrough.
Limited by the current conditions, Lin Yuan's final plan was to use a sharp bone blade or stone spear to cut the finer logs into the desired shape, and then chisel out the holes and grooves in the corresponding positions on the wood.
In this way, he made a triangular model of the roof girders, and then ordered people to follow the model's appearance for three days and three nights, and finally made the girder that matched the size of the temple's outline.
Although it looks a little rough and crooked without the help of precise measuring tools, there is no doubt that this is a magnificent roof girder from any angle.
When the girder was placed on top of the temple smoothly, Lin Yuan let all the construction slaves rest for half a day, and then each of them was given a small piece of wolf leg meat.
Lin Yuan is not a brutal slave owner, and at this happy moment when the temple girder is installed, it is necessary to give the slaves a small reward, so that they can work harder in the future.
Sure enough, after the slaves heard the news, they lay on the ground one by one and wept silently, this small strip of dry wolf leg meat was something that these slaves had never dared to expect in their lives.
Because under the strict management of the industry, these slaves have been trained to be obedient and thoughtless human flesh tools, and they have lost interest in the boring life, and only hope to return to the West for liberation as soon as possible.
And Lin Yuan's actions today made the slaves feel grateful in their hearts, most of them couldn't speak the language of the Yan people, they could only lie on the ground and mumble something, Lin Yuan knew that it was all words of thanks.
"The Flame King...... Now, our stock of prey will soon be eaten up, and in this case, it is estimated that we will start starving in a few days......"
Ye looked at the wild wolf meat that was eaten by the slaves, and said with some distress.
Lin Yuan smiled mysteriously, his eyes rolled, and said:
"I count...... Well, it's okay, it's estimated that soon, someone will deliver our prey to the door. ”
