8 Stone tools
By dawn, the island was already bright.
Qin Xiaobai boarded the 6 game on time at five o'clock in the morning, but saw a sloppy scene - only the messy embers of the fire coals were left in the campfire, and there were several miserable white animal skeletons around them, surrounded by randomly discarded meat foam and fruit pits, and trampled on the overwhelming grass. There were also eight savage peasants who slept like dead pigs, rolling on the ground and snoring, one less.
Qin Xiaobai was taken aback, the difficulty was taken away by the wolf? He hurried to look inside and outside the camp, but there was a false alarm, and Dumb went into the thatched hut and snored.
He couldn't laugh or cry.
The barbarians of prehistoric times were not very particular and could not help it. Oh no, they're supposed to be Stone Age barbarians now, and their own horde had been upgraded last night.
The tribe's original dilapidated tent was transformed into a low thatched hut - a few sturdy hardwoods as the supporting skeleton of the thatched hut, on which a roof was tied with a large number of dead branches, and a thick stack of weeds was laid.
The stats of the thatched hut have also changed, the population cap has been changed from 10 to 50, and the durability of the building has been doubled to 1000, which can withstand more attacks. Up to 20 people can enter the thatched hut and temporarily hide from enemies or beasts until the hut is destroyed.
From the Stone Age onwards, the number of buildings that could be built began to increase, including: outposts, fences, stone workshops, barbarian barracks, barbarian temples, and barbarian ferries.
The outpost and the palisade were the most primitive defensive structures of the early period.
Stone workshops, places where barbarians made stone tools. With the abundance of stone tools, the number of troops that can be formed has gradually increased.
The barracks can recruit Barbarian warriors, equip them with different weapons, and assemble them into four classes: Barbarian Slingers, Barbarian Wooden Sticks, Barbarian Wooden Bumpers (for sieges), and Barbarian Stonespearmen.
Temples can recruit wizards and prophets, two of the most violent classes in the early days.
The ferry port can be used to build small rafts, transport rafts, war rafts, three rafts with different purposes.
The Stone Age was the biggest change from the prehistoric era, and the barbarian peasants were finally able to master the use of stone tools.
Qin Xiaobai kicked the nine barbarian peasants awake and began to work.
The barbarians of prehistoric times did not master the making of tools, and the Stone Age began to master them.
As Stone Age barbarian peasants, they had two more equipment slots, the equipment slots for their hands, which allowed them to equip stone axes as their work tools. The body's equipment slot, which can wear animal skins, increases defense by 1. When configured with these tools, they can increase their productivity by 50%, which is much more efficient than in prehistoric times.
However, these stone tools had to be made by the barbarian farmers themselves, otherwise there would still be no tools available.
The Game Guide on the official Empire website has detailed instructions on how to craft different stone tools and how to teach barbarian farmers how to make stone tools.
Qin Xiaobai woke up the barbarians and peasants and urged them to start working.
The first thing to do is for each farmer to make a stone tool for work.
The barbarian peasants in the tribe got up from the ground with a chirp and muttered, as if complaining that Qin Xiaobai urged them to work so early and didn't let them sleep well until the sun soaked.
There are fragments of stones on the grass inside and outside the camp, as well as trees, which are materials for making stone tools.
Qin Xiaobai asked the barbarians and peasants to sit in a circle on the ground. He sat down in the middle, took a piece of gravel and a piece of wood from the grass, sharpened the gravel, polished and drilled holes in the rubble, installed the wooden handle, and showed the barbarian peasants how to make stone tools by the way.
The barbarian peasants did the same, fiddling with wood and stones, but they were clumsy and could not make do with the stones. Their AI is low, their learning ability is not strong, and it takes a short time to become proficient in the making of stone tools.
Qin Xiaobai knew that according to the experience of the internal test, it would take at least nearly an hour for the barbarian farmers to initially master the "stone tool grinding" and the "wooden handle installation" of assembling stone and wood together, these two techniques.
"Stone tool grinding" - one of the core technologies of the Stone Age. Hard rock is sharpened, or ground into thin flakes, and used as a tool or weapon for cutting things.
"Wooden handle installation" - one of the core technologies of the Stone Age. Wooden handles are installed on sharp stone tools as production tools, such as stone spears, stone axes, etc., which are widely used for gathering, hunting, fishing, logging, mining, construction, and other purposes. These primitive production tools can also occasionally be used as weapons to conquer enemies.
After the advent of these two most primitive technologies, the efficiency of the Barbarian Peasants increased dramatically, +50%.
Qin Xiaobai didn't expect the eight "strong, but extremely low-IQ" barbarians to master these two techniques, his biggest hope was that the "thinking-type" dumb could show his ability and learn these two techniques in the shortest possible time. In this way, he himself does not have to bother to teach these barbarian peasants, and he can let Dumb do it.
The barbarian peasants saw that Qin Xiaobai quickly made a stone spear, but they couldn't make it, and they couldn't help but scratch their heads anxiously and suspiciously.
Dumb sat in the middle of the barbarians, seeing that Qin Xiaobai was making stone tools, and the other eight barbarian farmers present were helpless, he suddenly became happy, ran into the thatched house not far away, ran out with a stone tool, and went to Qin Xiaobai, showing the stone tools to Qin Xiaobai as if offering treasures, "Ah~ Ahhhhh ”
Qin Xiaobai couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the stone tool in Dumb's hand.
Isn't this a stone axe, where did it come from?
Qin Xiaobai looked at Dumb with a smug look, and his heart moved.
Could this stone axe be made by Dumb?
Their tribe had been upgraded to the Stone Age last night, and if the barbarian peasants were clever enough, there was a theoretical possibility that they had inadvertently created stone tools themselves.
"Dumb, you made it?"
"Yay~!"
Dumb nodded excitedly and slapped his chest.
Qin Xiaobai laughed, patted Dumb's shoulder, and praised and applauded.
The stone axe that Dumb made obviously took a lot of effort to grind, and the craftsmanship was very good, better than the ones he made himself. It seems that the AI IQ of the "thinking" barbarian peasant really works.
Dumb received the praise of the tribal chief, raised his head proudly, and inadvertently glanced at the barbarians.
The barbarians who sat in a circle immediately looked at him with admiration, as if they had seen an idol.
But then, they happily rushed to Dumb's side, stuffed the wood and stones in their hands into Dumb's hands, and slapped Dumb's shoulder with excited strokes. Their meaning is very simple and clear - buddy, you are amazing, you can help us build these things!
Dumb hugged a pile of wood and gravel that everyone had forced into his hands, dumbfounded, and cried with a sad face, "Ah~, ah~~~!" ”
Qin Xiaobai was very happy when he saw this, this group of barbarians was really interesting, and they also knew how to push and concede.
