Chapter 279: Some More Resources
Things don't seem like much, it's always four or five, but after that's dealt with, new problems always pop up, and that's where the silence lies.
What now? In front of him, there were a few new people who joined, and Wang Yang learned from Xiaohong about the process of their encounter, and there was basically nothing peculiar.
There was nothing peculiar about the things they brought with them, which gave Wang Yang the illusion that these people would not provide special help to their tribe.
Actually, this is not a delusion, but a fact.
When you meet other humans for the first time, you don't have anything, no matter what the other person has or what you have experienced, it will definitely help you.
Now that I have more and more things, and correspondingly, when I meet other humans, I will be able to provide less and less help, and most of them will be repeated.
This is a matter of time, after all, there are very few valuable things in this era in the eyes of primitive humans, and the things they can use are basically mastered by Wang Yang.
At this point, the greater significance of finding other human beings is to replenish the labor force.
And it seems that in order to confirm Wang Yang's speculation, when a few people painted their own past a month later, they really didn't have any special experience, and they couldn't help Wang Yang.
However, the upside is that the labor force is replenished very quickly.
The human beings who can be found by everyone are at least teenagers and prime of life, and there are very few babies and old people.
Many hominids had extremely high mortality rates before adulthood, and the crisscrossing of wild beasts was one thing, and the shortage of food was another.
One of the most important aspects was the long nurturing period, even though the ape-man developed much earlier than modern man. There are still congenital shortcomings, and it is quite difficult for many children to adapt to the flexible and changeable natural environment.
The mortality rate among the elderly is also high. Once you have passed the youngest and most energetic prime. It's almost a matter of time before they are hunted down by wild beasts.
This is also the reason why the average life expectancy of primitive humans is extremely low.
But after joining the tribe, they don't have to worry about this, and even after the prime of life, they still have a strong labor force.
The enduring labor force is a symbol of the prosperity of a tribe.
When Wang Yang was just reborn, the tribe did not develop at all, and the labor force remained in the twenties and thirties, and the growth was slow.
Now he could feel that the tribe was growing by leaps and bounds. The upward momentum is very strong.
Xiaohong asked him, do you still have to go out to find someone? Every time they find a few people, they can work for decades until they die, much faster than the labor they get by having children, after all, the children have to be raised for a few years after they are born.
Wang Yang shook his head, there is no need to look for it, several directions in the vicinity have been searched, and others will not get so close for a while. Unless you bring more food and leave for a few months.
But a few months is too long, so it's better to stay here honestly and do whatever you want.
Little Red was speechless. Q, what the hell are you supposed to do?
Wang Yang glared at her, feeling that she had nothing to do? Will the wheat fields be opened? Will it process charcoal? Will it be possible to open up an orchard? Will braided rope be?
That's too little, not too much. You know how to play! If I hadn't had time, I would have opened a school.
If you open a school. Naturally, it was Wang Yang's complaint in his heart, and he didn't say it. No one understands when you say it.
But he really thought about it.
Nowadays, people have a strong understanding of pictures, so to speak, many things can be expressed through pictures, one painting is not enough, then two paintings, two paintings are not enough, then three, four, five paintings.
They already have the coherence of pictures, and they can express a complete thing in several pictures.
This is the initial ability to express logic, and with this, you can try to spread the word.
Of course, it is impossible for modern writing to spread so early, for example, Chinese characters, English, even if you produce more than a dozen sets of textbooks, you will not be able to use them.
Gotta create words that they can understand.
The ancients gave the answer, hieroglyphs.
This is definitely an important aspect of a huge amount of work, a hundred people, can draw a hundred different cows, unified, promoted, and accepted.
And you have to classify verbs, nouns, states, moods. Just thinking about it is a headache.
This is equivalent to asking Wang Yang to build his own writing system, and he can't get it down at all without spending a little time.
So he is also powerless in this idea, and he will do it when he is idle in the future, as for now, he still develops it honestly, and then promotes these things when life is very regular.
He glanced at Xiaohong, Xiaohong's personality belongs to ADHD, very wild, unwilling to do some boring things honestly, she still prefers to hunt or something.
Anyway, it is almost impossible for her to stay in one place every day, look at the same scenery repeatedly, and do the same thing.
Wang Yang had to arrange for her to do something.
The chasers came over and reported to Wang Yang the situation in the grassland pasture.
He came back some time ago and left the matter of transporting food to the two of them to the others, and he went over once in half a month to see how it went.
He drew a picture on the ground, and the two men in the picture were easily shuttling through the herd of bison, and the cattle were just eating their heads without looking at them.
Wang Yang smiled, it seems that the phrase "love over time" is not only applicable to people, but also to cattle, as far as the current point of view, the two have won the favor of the bison herd.
Kindness...... I can't say that I have a good feeling, at least there is no guarded mentality, which is also the progress of animal husbandry.
The grassland is very vast, and it is also divided into rainy season and dry season, but the time is different from the grassland here, that is, when there is grass on that side, there is not much grass here.
When there is no grass here, there is a lot of grass over there, so you can change the time to go back and forth between the two places to eat.
But it seems that the grassland is too vast for those dozens of bison to eat.
Wang Yang pondered that natural pastures can't be wasted, a ranch will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in the future, and a large ranch like this will cost tens of millions of dollars.
"Well, we can't waste it! Gotta grab something more! ”
Wang Yang's heart cheered up Xiao Jiujiu, it seemed that he had to go to the forest to see what he could catch.
As he was thinking so, the next day someone came from the other side of the forest, saying that a few more people had arrived, and that a new flint collection site had been discovered, and the most remarkable thing was that the flint collection point actually had clay rock formations!
"Dizzy, it's a bit informative."
Wang Yang immediately didn't say a word, arranged the things here, and ran to the forest with Xiaohong.
When passing by the baobab tree, Wang Yang deliberately stopped to observe the progress of the baobab tree.
He found that the germination rate of baobabs was only a pitiful 20 percent.
At the beginning, I planted so much, but only 20% of it grown, and it didn't seem to grow very fast, it was a long time, only one meter high.
Thinking that it will grow to thirty or forty meters, I don't know how many years it will take, I hope they will accumulate and grow faster.
These baobab trees bear fruit for a short time, and after one harvest, they can be picked again after a short time, and if they grow fast enough, they can be planted in large quantities in the future, which is also another kind of food.
Anyway, the whole body is a treasure, and it is very useful.
For this reason, he specially studied the reasons for the low growth rate, and found that as long as the seeds are not spaced more than ten meters apart, they will not germinate.
It is possible to determine the spatial range of baobab tree growth, but there are still many saplings that do not grow.
It should be unlikely that the land is barren, and the baobab tree grows in a harsh environment, and it is not good to plant it in another environment.
Moreover, there is not much difference in the climate in the vicinity, and there is not much difference in the soil, so there is no piece of land that is particularly good.
So what is the reason? Wang Yang only knows some basic principles, and it is the first time to plant baobab trees, which is somewhat jerky and difficult to crack.
But fortunately, he has a good mentality, the road is walked by people, and the method of planting trees is also tested by people, so he changed the planting method.
The seeds of the baobab tree are about the same as the nuts and both have a hard shell with a delicious pit inside that is delicious.
He wondered if he would help them break their shells and plant them again.
"Just do it!"
He didn't hesitate and just did it.
After staying here for two days and scattering almost all the seeds, Wang Yang and Xiaohong came to the forest.
In the forest, Zhang San divided the people into three groups, one group to open up orchards, one group to process charcoal, and one group to separate fibers and make ropes.
He had the five men who were familiar with the environment of the trees lead a group of people to open the orchard, some emaciated teenagers and old men to make ropes, and he himself to process the charcoal, which was most prone to errors.
It can be seen that he is a good manager and takes care of things on this side of the forest in an orderly manner.
And the last time he found other humans, there was Wang Yang's behavior as an indicator, so this time he was very familiar with arranging for people to stare at the newcomers.
Patting him on the shoulder with a smile, Wang Yang went straight to the point.
"Did those people carry anything special? That is, something you haven't seen before? ”
Zhang San shook his head, took Wang Yang to those people, turned out their things, and looked for them, they were all very ordinary things, and it seemed that there was no gain.
Then Zhang San took him to the place where the flint was found, where there were clay rock formations.
When he came there, Wang Yang looked left and right, and wondered, "Where is it?" ”
In front of him was a very ordinary flint rock formation, resembling a cliff, the face of which was turquoise, similar to the one found at Oolong.
However, there are no clay-colored rocks.
Zhang San reacted, took a bag of water and came to the front of the flint cliff face, and splashed the water on the cliff face, only to see the water flowing down, but when a bag of water was splashed up, when it flowed down, it was less than a third.
Most of the water was sucked away by the cliff face, Wang Yang stepped forward and wiped it, and said wordlessly: "Is this okay?" (To be continued......)
