If Guo Sen is a little dissatisfied with the civilization of this dwarven race, the invention and application of this hammer must be the first to bear the brunt.

Unlike all other sapient creatures, the Dwarves have completely abandoned the spears of medium and long range attacks, and the likes of swords, in favor of hammers as their weapons.

Actually, to be honest, it's not that hard to understand.

Their height determines that they cannot use stone or iron spears that are nearly two or three meters long, and the same is true for swords and the like.

Think about it, if they charge at those guys such as lizardmen with small knives and small guns and small swords of similar proportions and size, they will definitely be suppressed to death by the opponent's spears and broadswords, and it is estimated that they will be completely destroyed.

The hammer, on the other hand, can be used as a close-range attack weapon or thrown directly over the enemy's head, which is actually quite useful.

The extremely well-developed muscles of the dwarves ensure that they throw these hammers to a distance of fifty or sixty meters, creating a strong deterrent and blow to the enemy.

However......

Is it good to invent a bow and arrow? It's not enough to make that kind of short gun and short sword that fits the body!

Throwing weapons, obviously there are more options.

And the bow and arrow, as a long-range attack weapon, is simply the most buggy existence in this primitive era, the range is also long, and the lethality is also good, it is better than a hammer all over the sky, right?

But seeing that everyone on this city wall was full of hammers, Guo Sen really didn't know how to complain.

Well, you use a hammer for smelting, a hammer for opening, and a hammer for fighting.

Hammer Hammer Hammer ......

Guo Sen decided that if they still use hammers in a few hundred years, he would simply call them sledgehammers in the future.

The names are Mike Hammer, Optimus Hammer, Hammer Nas Hammerstar......

or Zhang Xiaozhu, Wang Da......

All right.

Guo Sen didn't want to continue complaining.

Whether it is the group of Rock Settlers on the castle in front of them, or the haters who are about to attack here, the weapons in their hands are hammers.

He felt that if he had to influence and guide their civilization, making a new weapon and teaching them was a good place to start.

"Great god of the hills! Please bless and shelter us! ”

"Great god of the hills! Bless us for victory over the outcasts! ”

"Great god of the hills! Please shelter us and bring peace back to here! ”

At this moment, the sound of kneeling suddenly sounded above the castle, and then there were bursts of prayers.

God of the Hill......

the groove.

Guo Sen suddenly remembered.

Three hundred years ago, these guys called themselves "gods of the hills" just because they made a stone puppet and taught them how to make a means of transportation, which made them completely fall into obsessive worship and worship.

And the stone statue, thrown into the jungle by itself, has become the new god of the black-haired apes, and has become some kind of "great god-sama".

Guo Sen looked at the group of people on the city wall, they just kept bowing, rubbing their palms, and there was no similar idol in front of them.

And in the huge castle, the dwarves of nearly five or six thousand knelt on the ground and kept rubbing their hands, and their mouths were also full of words, extremely reverent.

In front of them, too, it was empty.

Well?

Why don't you recreate a similar one?

Just like the White Wolf Clan, wouldn't it be okay to carve a ten-meter-high statue on the stone wall?

It is believed that these dwarves, who can carve a castle on the mountain, will be able to make an almost identical stone statue.

They have the ability to do that, too.

However, the gang did not do so.

It's weird.

Without a spiritual body, this ancient worship is only passed on by word of mouth?

Guo Sen said he couldn't understand it.

Even like the bird-man tribes, they use objects such as egg-like stones, waterfalls, and boulders as doppelgangers of "gods" and perform various ritual or prostration procedures.

Have the dwarves forgotten what the god of the hills they worship looks like?

Or is there another reason?

However, he found that the civilization of the dwarves was not just about building castles and making sturdy armor and helmets.

Guo Sen noticed that these rock-dwellers seemed to have mastered some knowledge of "seasonings" like some other civilizations.

Specifically, salt.

In addition to a considerable amount of dried animal meat and shelf-stable fruits and roots, there are also many rooms dedicated to storing salt in their warehouses.

Those columnar, vague translucent crystalline fragments are undoubtedly "rock salt".

He had seen it in both the tribes of the sheep and the birds, but their stock seemed to be much worse than that of the dwarves.

And the dwarves seemed to be quite fond of it, and almost every one of their jerky was stained with a large amount of crushed salt.

Hardcore......

Guo Sen really didn't expect that there were guys with heavier tastes than sheep people.

Think of the dwarves who used gems to exchange rock salt with sheep, isn't that the same?

Guo Sen felt that in the genes of these dwarves, there seemed to be a strong anticipation of "taste".

There are no sheep people in this place of the mines, and the lucky dwarves, after discovering the rock salt, are out of control.

However, their method of curing the flesh of the beast is more durable and preserved than the pure jerky eaten by the Haters.

Salt can fully analyze the water in the meat, increase the shelf life, and of course, it will not grow mold and hair in a short period of time and deteriorate.

Meat that has been stored for a longer period of time is more likely to play a very important role in the face of some natural disasters or wars.

These rock salts were probably discovered by chance by the dwarves when they were mining ore, but they have become a necessity for their survival at this time.

Guo Sen felt that the existence of this rock salt was the thing that could best distinguish the haters from these rock dwellers.

He even guessed that the reason why the Haters came to attack the Rock Settlers was not for the sake of these rock salts, right?

Guo Sen remembered the unfamiliar word "Theo" that came to the mind of the leader of the haters, could it be salt?

There seems to be a precedent for this on Earth.

Spice Wars.

A spice has become an important driving force leading the Age of Discovery, thus causing extremely significant changes to the entire world pattern, and objectively, it has also promoted the great development of science and technology, culture and science in the world.

Guo Sen also imagined whether there would be a "Age of Discovery" similar to the competition for spices on his planet in the future.

If the Haters are really attacking the Rock Lodgers for the sake of salt, then it means that for the first time a war has been born on his sphere for some kind of "condiment".
