The old patriarch is gone, and the living will continue to live.

This world is an infinite cycle of life and death, just like when the cold season comes, most of the creatures on this planet will lie dormant or wither, but there is infinite life under the frozen surface and in the dry skin.

After several twists and turns, the people of the Hedong tribe and the Ebony tribe finally reached an agreement to merge the two tribes into one and become a new Hedong tribe.

The two tribes were neighbors in the past, and although there had been discord and even bloodshed, after experiencing a life-and-death battle together, the two tribes finally discovered that they could only survive in the face of a more powerful enemy that could appear at any time, only with a large enough population.

Immediately after Yuan Chongling, the old patriarch of the Ebony tribe, who had been sick for many years, did not survive this cold season, and according to the wishes of the two patriarchs, Kuria became the leader of the new tribe after the merger, and followed the precedent of the Iron Seal tribe, called the chief.

When the dust settled, the new tribe faced even more serious problems.

In any case, people have to eat, and the war has consumed and lost too many supplies, plus the hundred young men and women obtained from the Iron Seal tribe, the food in the tribe has been difficult to survive the long cold season.

And when heavy snow covers the entire mountain forest, people have even less access to food.

What Han Jian had to consider was not only the problem of the more than 500 people of the eastern Xinhe tribe, but also the livelihood of more than 1,000 people of the Tieyin tribe a few kilometers upstream.

The Iron Seal tribe has always lived by plundering, and has never considered too much food storage, in the past, it was good to say that when the cold season came, they could survive the cold season by running more distances and plundering a few more tribes, but under the leadership of Modo, they seemed to have given up wandering and plundering, and once they couldn't survive, they could only pick up the butcher's knife again.

The first to bear the brunt must be the eastern tribe of Xinhe.

Sure enough, after a cold cycle of work and rest, the Modo chief of the Iron Seal tribe came to Han Jianfei and said straight to the point: "I have subdued my people. ”

Han Jianfei didn't answer him, he said at that time that when he subdued the clansmen, he would tell Mo Duo what to do next, but he hadn't fully figured out how to help these predatory people survive the long cold season.

"You say, when the time comes, you'll tell me what to do next." Seeing that he didn't answer, Modo was silent for a while before continuing.

Han Jianfei nodded: "In the past few days, I have also been thinking about this issue. ”

Modo did not hide his meaning in the slightest: "Our food and livestock can last for two long days and nights at most, after which we can only kill war beasts." ”

After the funeral of the old patriarch, the rivers and lakes also began to slowly freeze. According to the elders of the tribe, at most a long day and night, the surface of the river and lake will be covered with a thick layer of ice, and when the time comes, even fishing will be a problem.

Therefore, it may be difficult for the grain storage in Hedong Village to last until the third long day and night.

Of course, Han Jianfei can teach them to break the ice and teach them how to cast nets and fish under the ice, but those are a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the fundamental problem.

As for hunting, if you're lucky, you might be able to spot some of the hibernation dens of blade-toothed beasts or wild pack beasts, but most of the time, you'll have to make it home.

In fact, Han Jianfei has always had an idea, but he didn't dare to say it casually until it was verified.

If he could return to Fort Augustus, or Silasson, he would be able to mobilize enough resources to help both tribes, even if they violated the Alliance's laws that protected the independent development of civilization.

"I know your problem, when you know that there is a better path in this world than plundering others, the path of survival chosen by your clan will be crude and disgusting to you." "But your problem is that you can make a change, but you don't know how." ”

"Do you have anything you can do with those who have walked with your ancestors?"

"You want your tribe to stabilize and develop your own civilization, and the problem to be solved now is to feed your people without plundering others." Han Jianfei said, "And now, I'm trying to find a way to solve this problem." ”

He also knew that saying this was tantamount to nonsense, and Modo was a little disappointed: "If there is no food, my tribe will not survive this cold season, and the situation will likely get out of control at that time, and those who are temporarily suppressed will once again lead the tribe to wander and plunder." ”

Han Jianfei thought for a while: "I do have an idea worth trying, but there is no guarantee that it will solve your problem, if those people of yours want to consume excess physical strength in the cold season, you might as well try it with me." ”

Modo nodded: "Whenever possible, we are willing to try." ”

Han Jianfei's idea is very simple, that is, to dig directly into the migration ship in the mountain, more than two thousand years ago, when the ship crashed under the cliff, the crew evacuated too hastily, from the last rough exploration with Gen Zhizi, Han Jianfei knew that there should be far more relics in that ship than he expected.

All he could think of were the two things that were necessary in the structure of the migrant ship he was familiar with—a genetic sample bank and an ecological cabin.

The former is a sufficient number of plant seeds and frozen embryos that must be carried when immigrating, and they are sealed in extremely strong sealed cabins, which are the necessary biological basis for the development of civilization, and these sealed cabins are almost the most well-protected things on the entire immigration ship, so it is very likely that these things are still there.

At a time when refractory technology was not as widespread as it is today, these gene banks were designed to ensure that genetic samples would remain viable for thousands of years.

Frozen embryos don't have to think too much, as long as the seeds or seedlings of several fast-growing crops can be found, the problem of food shortage in the cold season will be solved.

As for the eco-cabin, its only role at present is to act as a greenhouse to ensure the rapid growth of fast-growing crops.

Of course, if you can find one or two protein synthesizers that still work, it would be perfect.

After determining that neither tribe would survive the cold season, Han Jianfei finally wanted to put this plan into practice, but in the past thousand years, the migrant ship had been buried too much, and he had to rely on the strength of the two tribes to "excavate" these possible things.

After all, more than two thousand years have passed, and no one dares to guarantee that what he wants really exists.

With Han Jianfei's prestige, it seems that it is not particularly difficult to persuade Kuria to let the hunters of the eastern tribe of Xinhe cooperate with the sworn enemies of the past few days, and it seems that it is not particularly difficult.

After three cycles of work and rest, in the darkness of the night, the excavation team of the two clans finally arrived at the valley under the cliff and began to clear the rocks and dirt around the migrant ship, so that the giant starship, which had been buried for more than 2,000 years, gradually revealed its true face.

When the migrant ship crashed, it must have fallen from the eastern sky, and after breaking a mountain peak, it was diagonally inserted into this valley, the whole hull was high in the east and low in the west, and half of the bow was buried in the earth, covering it with rocks and mud for thousands of years, looking like a cave sloping downward.

At the beginning of the excavation, Han Jianfei led a group of people to the database he saw when he picked up the treatment box last time, and after tearing down an entire wall, he moved out a large number of books.

The books are printed in plastic to ensure that they will not be corroded, degraded or damaged over thousands of years, so when they are brought out of the box, the contents printed on them are still vivid.

After that, because of the map guidance in the command cabin, the whole excavation work became a lot easier, and after seeing those books, Genchiko and Modo obviously lost interest in the excavation work, and sat in the snow at the entrance of the cave, using the light of the nuclear battery emergency lamp, and started reading from the most basic compulsory education books without saying a word.

I don't know how long it took for Genchiko to raise her head and see Han Jianfei meditating against the wall at the entrance of the cave.

"I'm thinking," Han Jifei muttered, as if sensing Genchiko's gaze, "this is a good place to build a city." ”

"City?" Modo also looked up.

Han Jianfei didn't answer immediately, he remembered that another city built on the site of the emigrant ship was also on a satellite, and that city, along with thousands of its inhabitants, was reduced to ashes in a fleet-class main artillery fire under his personal order.

That small city is located in a satellite called Linghu called Huangyang Town.

A few years after he destroyed the town named after the "Boxwood" migrant ship, he led a group of people on another satellite to dig up and clean up a crashed migrant ship, and prepare to build another town in the broken hull of the ship.

Han Jianfei was holding a notebook in his hand, which was found in the database, the diary written by the captain of the migrant ship.

In that diary, he learned the name of the migrant ship, the Bluewater.

Therefore, he plans to call this soon-to-be-established city "Bluewater Town".

A few years ago, a small town rebuilt by an immigrant ship was destroyed in his own hands, and a few years later, another small town rebuilt by an immigrant ship was created in his own hands.

"That's right," Han Jianfei said after retracting his thoughts, "It's called Bluewater Town." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a shout from inside the hull, and it seemed that something had been found inside.

The three of them walked to the cabin together, and met the warriors of the Iron Seal tribe who came out to report the news, and even said that it took a long time to figure out that the excavators had found a lot of green fluorescent crystals in it after digging through a particularly deep buried cabin.

Han Jianfei felt that the ice iron ring on the middle finger of his left hand that had been silent for half a year suddenly trembled, as if he was about to wake up from a deep sleep.

The green-fluorescent crystal-like object, most likely, is an extremely abundant curium.

If it's true, that's a bonus!
