Volume 2: Escape to the World Chapter 112: Re-examination (14) Pioneer and the Sea
The size of the warehouse was large enough, ten zhang in length and width, five zhang in height, and the size was huge, if the storage was full, in the event of a large-scale battle, it could hold out for at least three years, and it was built on the eighth platform on the mountainside, which lasted for five full years.
After the warehouse was repaired, Mu Wu commanded the tribesmen and began to build the offices of various departments of the tribe, the more people in the tribe, the more things to do, and many departments did not have a fixed place when they did things.
On a sunny day in the sacrificial square, on a rainy day in the council hall, Yi Zheng, Mu Zheng, and Fa Zheng are not needed for the time being, and there is an education school that can be used in Chuanzheng, and there is also a stove room for fire in the big house where the clansmen live.
So the tribe built three more large houses, and set them up on the sixth platform, one of which was given to Shuizheng, Nongzheng, Muzheng, and Tuzheng, and one large house to Gongzheng and Taozheng, and gave them a place to make utensils.
The most important doctor occupies a separate room, and since the tribe opened up the wasteland, more and more people have been injured, and people have been sent back to the tribe for treatment in three days, and more and more people need treatment and rest.
It took three years to build the three big houses, and two new living houses were built, and the tribesmen did not have time to be idle, so they were told to pave the tribal dirt road, and paved the stone road with stones and three layers of soil, paving a stone road two zhang wide.
The stone path leads to the cave and the sacrificial square at the top of the hill with a medicine garden on the top of the hill, and there are two in the center, one crossing the stream and branching again, one of which leads directly to the western gate, and the other to the orchard and the bamboo forest.
The one at the top of the hill passed between the council hall and the educational school, through the middle of the three rows of living houses, and then divided into two, passed through three departmental houses, and divided into four stone paths, and passed through five warehouses.
Four stone roads converge under the storehouse and go directly down the hill, and then split at the foot of the hill to become four, two on the left and right connecting the south and north gates, and two on the lower side, one leading to the pottery kiln, the brick kiln and the carbon kiln.
There was only one left leading to the farmland, connecting the gate to the east, and the stone road connected the tribal land, which was very necessary to pave it for travel and transportation, especially after the invention of the board cart by the Wood Witch, which was very useful.
The tribe is too big, it is inconvenient to come and go, there were originally small roads, but they can be narrow and rugged, although they are leveled, they can only pass through unicycles, there is no metal, wooden tires are not practical, unicycles are easy to damage, and the carrying capacity is not large.
In the past, small tribes could still use it, but as the tribe developed, more and more things were needed, and transportation became the biggest problem, and the wheelbarrow gradually became a chicken rib, which consumed a lot of time for craftsmen, but the transportation volume could not keep up.
Mu Wu thought of the board car, two tires, it must be more practical than one tire, the transportation volume is larger, and it is stronger, but the requirements are more, the unicycle can walk the path, the board car must not walk.
Therefore, he commanded the tribesmen to build stone roads, precisely to increase the transportation volume and reduce the burden of the tribe's craftsmen, which was of great significance to the development of the tribe, and this work took another three years.
The Fire Tribe was still watching in the jungle, and the Fire Leader led the crowd to attack from time to time, testing the reality of the Wood Tribe, and encountered the fierce resistance of the warriors, so he retreated directly with the people, without dragging the mud and water at all.
In addition to the construction of the tribe, the pioneering results are also very significant, although many losses have been caused, but also a lot of harvest, grassland hunting to obtain a lot of meat, in addition to the consumption of the tribe, there is a lot of surplus.
Tonghai Avenue is getting longer and longer, and it can advance steadily for more than 20 zhang every day, and Mu Wu follows the pioneer team, and can often find scattered salt soil, which can produce nearly 1,000 catties of salt every year, barely maintaining the needs of the tribe.
Ramie was found, and after being made, the fibers in it were extracted, which was ordinary twine, which could be used to weave linen cloth and make cloth clothes, and cloth clothes made of plant fibers were always a luxury for the tribe.
Most of the clansmen, even in summer, wear animal skins, otherwise they can only be naked, and their defense is greatly reduced, and with linen, they can greatly reduce heat stroke, and even in summer, they can maintain their body defenses.
For this reason, Mu Wu specially made a spinning wheel and a shuttle, and taught the women of the tribe to weave linen cloth, make cloth clothes, and improve the living conditions of the tribesmen.
Water chestnuts and grapes were discovered, which can be used as fruits or as food, water chestnuts grow in damp silt, the skin is dark, but the fruit is white, refreshing and sweet, and the warriors who ate it were full of praise.
Wild grapes bear a lot of fruits, large bunches hanging on the vine, but the sweetness is too low, sour teeth, it doesn't matter, take back the tribe to plant for a while, you can sweeten yourself, and now the bitter persimmon has no astringency.
Also in the bushes, he found chili pepper and peppercorn, two dark-grade spices, which made the clansmen smell and change, but made Mu Wu ecstatic, and ate a large spicy tiger leg with two kinds of spices in tears.
At the same time, two kinds of medicinal materials were found, goldenrod and poppy, goldenrod and the tribe's mandala are similar, both have the effect of anesthesia, poppy is a poison, can cause hallucinations, poison is used properly, can also save people.
What excites him the most is that when the hunting team was pioneering, they found a barren land, which was unusually visible in the grassland, and the wood witch used his special vision to see a few blue-white objects in the gray soil.
Mu Wu hurriedly beckoned the clansmen to dig, and finally dug out a large piece of green ore at a depth of three zhang underground, which was malachite, the raw material for refining copper, but unfortunately it was only more than two hundred catties, not a vein.
After purification and refining, he obtained about sixty catties of pure copper, pure copper is soft, not suitable for making weapons, bronze mixed with tin and lead, but hard enough, he put away the copper block, waiting for the appearance of the two things.
There are many resources in the grassland, but there are also many dangers, in order to open up the way, no less than thirty warriors died due to the attack of fierce beasts, and even two flesh and blood warriors also fell in the grassland.
In addition to those ferocious beasts, there are many dangerous areas, swamps that can bite the body and get tighter and tighter, poisonous fogs that can cause dizziness and weakness, and mosquito swarms that can spread viruses and bring diseases......
On the way forward, the team also encountered a different plant, which was a thorn that was coiled and cringed with dragons, and it was said that it was a different plant, but in fact, it had just arrived at the fierce species, and even so, it made the tribe spend a lot of time.
The leader led twenty flesh and blood warriors, armed with sharp flint weapons, and thirty late-stage blood warriors, armed with strong bows and flint feather arrows, to help contain them from afar, and started a battle with the fierce thorns.
However, the result was that two flesh and blood warriors were killed, the leader was also seriously wounded, a large number of feathered arrows were lost, and the other warriors were also injured.
Thorns block the front of the avenue, covering an extremely wide area, not to mention that there is a mile and a square circle, if it is a detour, at least two more miles of road, more than a year of construction period, more material resources and manpower consumed, but second.
The most important thing is that thorns are different from flowers and trees, they expand quickly, and they will continue to grow if they are kept, no matter how far away the road is, there are times when they spread, and they must be eradicated.
In the end, Mu Wu thought of a way, and led the people to open up a three-zhang wide firebreak around the range of thorns, and spent half a year completely isolating the area where the thorns were located from the grassland.
In the autumn when the paraquis was yellow, the warriors at the edge of the area set fire together to extinguish the sparks that flew out, and the flames began to burn brightly, engulfing the thorn trees, and the flaming thorns stretched out and danced.
The fire burned for three days and three nights, and the isolated area where the thorns were entrenched completely turned into black ashes, and the hunting party found two wilted yellow rattans that had not yet been completely charred in the place where the main thorn plant was located.
Stopping the warriors who wanted to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, the wood witch put away two dull vines, but accidentally found a blue-white stone under the rattan, and continued to dig down, and found a large amount of ore.
It turned out that at the foot of the thorns, there was a small tin mine, and the stretch and flexibility of the thorns were strong, and there may not be no influence of tin ore, so that the wood witch who was worried about looking for an alloy suddenly fell from the sky and was happy for a long time.
Letting the hunting team stay and continue to pioneer, Mu Wu rushed back to the tribe and planted two wattles in the tribe, one buried under the totem tree, and the other was planted at the foot of the city wall to strengthen the defense.
Through the wood ability, he can perceive that although the two rattans have vitality, they have no self-awareness, and with a little cultivation, they will definitely become the help of the tribe, as for whether they can live? The totem tree is omnipotent!
Then, he rushed to the kiln again, purified the tin ore he brought back, obtained thirty catties of pure tin, took out the stored copper block, and began to refine bronze, and in his mind, there were various optimal ratios of bronze.
Ten catties of copper and two catties of tin were made into a bronze axe, eight catties of copper and two catties of tin were made into a bronze halberd, nine catties of copper were mixed with three catties of tin and made into a bronze knife, and five catties of copper were mixed with two catties of tin to make twenty bronze arrowheads.
Bronze axes, bronze knives, and bronze halberds, each refined two, for the strongest warriors of the five tribes, refined twenty bronze arrows, made twenty bronze arrows, and distributed them to the four most powerful archers.
With the remaining five catties of copper, he made a small copper hammer, as well as a few small tools, scissors, copper drills, etc., and handed them over to the craftsmen of the tribe to use, and he also took a copper axe, of course he had the right to do so.
It took the tribe a full ten years, spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and finally successfully expanded the thirty-two miles of Tonghai Avenue, when the last few clumps of grass were cut down, and there was no longer any obstruction in the view.
Endless blue skies, magnificent blue seas, golden sand sparkling in the sun, waves crashing against blue-gray rocks, coconut palms swaying in the breeze, and salty sea breezes blowing in your face.
Huge sea turtles gather in groups and bask in the sun on the beach, giant whales leap out of the sea, pterosaurs soar through the air with their wings outstretched, and several giant dinosaurs roar with their long necks outstretched.
With a body nearly two feet long, on the adult brute jungle wolf, the wood witch trembled all over, tears welled up in his eyes, and his heart was both excited and afraid, the salt of the tribe had a provenance, but it was not as beautiful as he imagined.
It is both an opportunity and a danger......
