16 Go out to sea to fish

In the small white tribe, in the simple workshop of the ferry port on the coast, the first small raft was made. Under Qin Xiaobai's command, several barbarian peasants struggled to carry the small raft and lower it from the ferry into the sea.

The raft "plopped" down, splashed a circle of waves, swayed a few times, and then floated steadily on the water. The barbarians excitedly threw down their work and gathered around the ferry, pointing to the raft and babbling.

Qin Xiaobai was very satisfied with the progress of the construction of the small raft. Soon, the rafts will bring back a steady stream of food from the sea, far more than on the islands, which means that the population of the tribe will grow rapidly again.

Qin Xiaobai randomly pointed out one of the barbarian peasants and asked him to take a stone spear and take a small raft to go to the sea to fish. The barbarian peasant grabbed a stone spear handed over by his companions, jumped on the raft excitedly, and in the envy of the peasants, he swayed down the raft alone to the sea spearfish.

There are small fishing grounds within a few hundred meters of the coastline, and from time to time you can see schools of fish chasing and jumping out of the ocean, and small rafts do not need to row far to catch fish. The barbarian peasants rowed their rafts excitedly towards the nearest fishing ground to the ferry and began to spear fish.

Spearing fish in the sea with a stone spear is not very efficient, and a small raft can catch 10 units of fish per hour.

After the first small raft was launched into the sea, Qin Xiaobai and the rest of the barbarian farmers continued to cut down wood to build more small rafts. Fifteen peasants cut wood, five peasants continued to make stone tools, replace scrapped stone axes and spears, and when they had enough 50 pieces of wood, they continued to build small rafts.

1 hour and 26 minutes, the second raft went to sea for 1 hour and 31 minutes, the third raft went into the sea for 1 hour and 37 minutes, and the fourth raft went into the sea. Because the barbarian peasants who cut wood were sent into the sea to fish, the cutting of wood slowed down, so the construction of rafts also began to slow down.

However, as the number of small rafts that went out to sea for fishing increased, these small rafts also began to transport fish caught in the ocean back to the ferry port and store them in the fish storage at the ferry.

At nearly 3 o'clock in the afternoon, there were enough 50 units of fish in the fish storen, which was enough. Qin Xiaobai and a few barbarian peasants dragged them to a camp 1.5 kilometers away, recruited a new barbarian peasant from the thatched hut, and put them to work.

Between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., two more small rafts were built, and the total number of peasants began to grow rapidly. From 21 peasants (not including Qin Xiaobai himself) to 27 peasants, there are still more than 50 units of wood and 20 units of fish left in the workshop and warehouse at the ferry.

The surplus wood can be used to build a simple fence 500 meters long - to protect against wild beasts and enemy attacks. Qin Xiaobai took advantage of the darkness to ask the barbarian farmers to use wood to enclose a fence about 100m x 150m long and wide around the ferry.

Qin Xiaobai, who had the extra fish, let the barbarians roast it over a bonfire and eat it to reward the peasants who had worked hard all day

During the Stone Age, the population limit for a player tribe was 50. The player is free to arrange the distribution of these populations, how many peasants, how many warriors, how many wizards, how many prophets, how many war rafts are needed to fight, how many farmers are needed to cut wood, and how many farmers are needed to go to the sea to fish.

With so many places to allocate the population, the manpower of all the player tribes is very strained. This requires players to wield their wits and make the most of each of their populations. If there are too few farmers, the production capacity will be extremely low and the opponent will be overlooked. And too many peasants will lead to a weak army and slaughter by the enemy.

The total property of Qin Xiaobai's tribe already had 27 barbarian peasants, a thatched house, a ferry (fenced), six small rafts, and three sheep.

On Empire's list of over 100 million players worldwide, he still ranks among the top 5,000 farmers - most of these 5,000 players have 28, 27, and 26 farmers, except for a few of the highest players with 29 farmers.

And the number of small rafts is among the top 500 - the most seven small rafts, Qin Xiaobai's is six. Those who can reach this level are masters. Most of the rest of the players, there are only one or two, or even yet.

The barbarian barracks, Qin Xiaobai has not started to build them yet, but the "Empire" military power ranking shows that there are already quite a few players who have already built the barracks and started to send troops, and the number is not much, the most is 2 barbarian warriors, and the rest are 1 or none. However, although the player with the highest military power only has 2 Barbarian warriors, they are strong enough to launch an effective "Sneak Attack" military strike against other players in the vicinity, causing panic among the opponent's peasants and preventing normal production.

In general, Qin Xiaobai's comprehensive strength is firmly fixed within the top 1,000 to 2,000 in the "Empire" - this does not include a few sheep, each pair of male and female sheep will give birth to 1 baby sheep every 3 days, and the population reproduces quickly.

Although Qin Xiaobai has not yet sent troops, his production capacity is enough to support the rapid and continuous dispatch of troops.

Among the 27 barbarian peasants, 5 "smart" and "flexible" barbarian peasants were responsible for making stone tools for production, 6 barbarian peasants went to the sea on small rafts to fish, and the remaining 16 peasants were mainly responsible for logging, and more buildings and rafts were built - stone workshops, barbarian barracks, barbarian temples, war rafts, and transportation rafts.

Qin Xiaobai did not plan to continue to increase the number of peasants, 27 laborers were enough.

In addition to the 27 barbarian peasants, and Qin Xiaobai himself accounted for 1 population, there were still 22 population units left, which he wanted to use to recruit military population. Otherwise, the military strength of the Xiaobai tribe will be very weak.

In other words, on the night of the second day of the game, he successfully completed the recruitment of all the peasants that his tribe needed in the Stone Age. When the first rays of sunlight shine on the tens of millions of islands on the novice map tomorrow, it will be the time when the Xiaobai tribe will officially expand its military power.

Qin Xiaobai didn't plan to make himself a "farmer", and honestly stayed on a small island to cultivate the fields. As a professional arms dealer, he is ready to lead his troops into any war on the surrounding islands and make a profit from it.

That night, Qin Xiaobai and all the barbarian peasants camped at the ferry, lit a bonfire, and barbecued fish and meat. Six small rafts were dragged ashore from the sea and placed in the fence of the ferry. The thatched hut 1,500 meters away was unguarded.
