Chapter 7 Eastern Steppes
Seeing that a few old craftsmen were a little nervous, Li Kang smiled and wanted to ease the atmosphere, but he didn't expect that it would have no effect at all, but it made those craftsmen even more nervous.
Li Kangton felt bored, so he simply put away his smile and said directly: "Among you, is there any one who can prospect?"
Several craftsmen looked at each other for a long time, and no one spoke.
Seeing this situation, although he had expected it, Li Kang still felt disappointed.
[It seems that in the short term, the minerals can only rely on luck!]
"Sun Lao (stonemason), the conditions have been difficult recently, you bring some people to polish a batch of stone axes, stone spears, stone knives and other stone instruments, well, mainly stone axes. ”
Since the conditions did not allow it, Li Kang was not impatient, and the road of civilization had to come step by step, Li Kang decided to start from the Stone Age.
The Stone Age is here, will the Iron Age be far away?
As for the Bronze Age, Li Kang didn't think to experience it at all.
"Yes, my lord, the little old man will do his best. Sun Youcai got up tremblingly and replied, looking cautious.
Since ancient times, small people have been afraid of officials, nothing more than that!
Oh, by the way, of course, the title of lord is uniformly prescribed by Li Kang.
"Well, and the three of you don't have to be idle, after Sun Lao has polished a batch of stone axes that are enough, you can bring some people to cut down more trees, and build the horse rejection and fence first. Then the people will feel safer. As for the house, we will wait for these to be built, and for the time being, everyone will squeeze in the hall downstairs for a few nights. Li Kang said to the three carpenters, "You go down and explain to them well, don't have any grievances." ”
"No grievances, no grievances! We are fortunate to have a tile to cover the roof, how dare we have any grievances. The three carpenters hurriedly got up and waved their hands.
"Those rabbit cubs dare to complain in the slightest, and the little old man must break their legs. Wang Dafu (one of the three carpenters) blushed and assured with a thick neck.
The Chinese people are really easy to satisfy!
......
With the successful conclusion of the "First Plenary Congress", the next step is the "production and construction stage" in full swing, striving to run into the "Stone Age".
Except for the six little dolls who were barefoot and buttocks, chasing and playing with each other, the remaining twenty or so men and women had already begun to act.
Li Kang took a cursory look, it was okay, the division of labor was clear, there was no chaos, and no one took the opportunity to make soy sauce, so he had to sigh at the simplicity of the ancient working people.
The third team has also set off, Li Kang left the second team to watch the house, and helped with the construction by the way, and he is ready to lead the first team out to inspect the circle, so as to have a good idea of the surrounding terrain and resources.
Although Li Kang has been in this world for five days, for some reason that everyone understands, Li Kang has been spinning in place all the time and has not dared to go far at all. That is, he is blind to his surroundings.
Of course, he didn't wander out aimlessly, he went out with an important mission: to find a salt pond or the sea.
That's right, there is no salt in the house.
What a terrible question.
When Zhao Siye, the temporary village head appointed by Li Kang – who was chosen for no other reason than because he was the only literate among the displaced people – suggested at the "General Assembly" that the remaining salt in the "village" was barely enough for three days, Li Kang did not react for a moment, and he was more fashionable than a bewildered expression.
He didn't expect that.
He is a rich kid who lives in great material abundance, and he has never thought about the problem of salt shortage, so naturally he has no such concept in his mind.
Even the concept of "food shortage" was forced out by these five days of primitive life.
Although other foods can be supplemented with sodium, iodine and other elements to a greater or lesser extent, and it will not be bad if you don't eat salt for a short time, salt deficiency is a big problem after all.
Therefore, Li Kang decided to move forward in the direction of the wind. To use his logic, if his current location is not far from the sea, then the direction in which the wind blows is the direction in which the sea is located.
Feeling the salty and wet smell in the wind, Li Kang had a lot of certainty, this is the sea breeze!
Well, although the above is all Li Kang's assumption, it is also close to the truth.
In coastal areas, under the sun's rays during the day, the land heats up rapidly, and the air temperature on land is higher than that of the ocean, and the air expands and rises due to heat and expansion, which lowers the air pressure and increases the high air pressure. In this way, in a small area at the junction of land and sea, the sea surface pressure at the bottom of the atmosphere is higher than that on land, and without considering other factors, the air always flows from the high pressure to the low pressure, that is, the wind blows from the sea to the land.
The opposite is true at night!
If Li Kang acted at night and followed his logic, the result would be hehe.
Finally, after checking the equipment again and instructing the personnel left behind, Li Kang and his guards set off majestically and vigorously in the face of the "sea breeze".
Unlike other directions, where the eye is full of green, the direction of the wind blowing is only a thin layer of small forest, and after passing through, it is an open field, which also brings convenience to the actions of Li Kang and others.
Think about it, if you are surrounded by boundless forests, where will the "sea breeze" come from?
After about 200 meters of advancement, Li Kang and his party finally passed through this layer of "thin forest", and suddenly their vision "suddenly opened up", and they felt like they could see the sky through the clouds and mist.
Among them, Li Kang felt the deepest, after holding back in the primeval forest for five days, he came to the open land again, and the gloom deposited in his heart was fully released, and he felt that the whole person was much more relaxed from the inside out, from top to bottom.
However, Li Kang was a little embarrassed, the "vast world" was so close to him, but he didn't dare to take a step in five days, he really lacked the spirit of exploration.
In fact, someone told him that this is the edge of the forest, and he will come out after walking a few steps, and it is estimated that he will not have the courage to come out, after all, when he encounters danger in the open field, there is nowhere to run, and he can't even use human wisdom to adapt measures to local conditions, and he can't do a Jedi counterattack.
Of course, Li Kang will never admit this!
The environment of this open field in front of him is similar to the African savannah that was broadcast on TV before, overgrown with thigh-deep yellow weeds, which is in stark contrast to the forest behind Li Kang.
It feels like it was artificially carved out, and the dividing line between the two seems abrupt, with no buffer zone in the transition from forest to grassland.
The Creator is great!
The three sides of the grassland, west, south, and north—Li Kang set the direction of the rising sun in this world to the east—are surrounded by forests, and only the east side is unobstructed.
Li Kang's location was located in the northwest of this grassland, the west was where they had just walked out, the northern forest was less than a hundred meters away from them, and the outline of the forest could be faintly seen on the southern horizon.
Therefore, Li Kang preliminarily judged that this grassland is distributed in a long strip extending from east to west, with a width of no more than 1,000 meters from north to south, and the area should not be large.
Coming to this conclusion in his heart, Li Kang silently breathed a sigh of relief.
The small size of the area means that the food resources are not abundant; the lack of food resources means that there are not too many carnivorous animals; the scarcity of carnivorous animals means that the danger is small; and the danger is small, which means that Li Kang can take a slightly larger step, and there is no need to be suspicious.
Of course, this is the conclusion he has reached based on the situation in which he looks, and as for the specific situation, he can only know if he goes on.
