Chapter 699: Take All of This Away
"This is it, right?" asked Shao Xuan as Duo Kang looked at the shore that was getting closer and closer.
"It should be here, log in first. Shao Xuan said.
Hearing Shao Xuan say this, Duo Kang also greeted the other Yanjiao people, "Prepare to land!"
When the first ship at the front finally landed, the wood felling suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
When the others were stunned by the sudden roar of Mu Fell, Mu Felling jumped down, standing in the icy sea water and the ground turned red with excitement, and after laughing twice, he looked up and said to the other longboat tribesmen on the boat, "Come down." ”
Seeing this, Duo Kang was very contemptuous in his heart, didn't he just want to be the first person to land here? When he first landed two days ago, he was also the first to do everything he did, because since then, it has been recorded in the history of the Longboat tribe that the first leader to lead the team into the sea, the first leader to lead the fleet across the sea and successfully land on another continent, the first to arrive at this ......
"What is this place called?" Mu Yuan suddenly remembered, he still didn't know the name of this place, he didn't know how to record the name, how to leave it to the descendants of the longship in the future? Thousands of years have passed, and after a long time, who knows where you landed?
"Crocodile River. Shao Xuan said.
Duokang and Guangyi looked at Shao Xuan with a busy face, when did they take this? Why didn't they know that this river was called "Crocodile River"?
"Just frook. Seeing Duokang's doubts, Shao Xuan said calmly. Then let people prepare to plant the monument, just like when they were in Yanhe.
He also thought that if the river had no name, he would follow Yanjiao and give this river a name, the Long Boat River, the Long River, the Boat River, the Mu Felling River or something. Unexpectedly, Shao Xuan was given temporarily.
Mu Xuan didn't want to fight with Shao Xuan, besides, he was indeed one step behind Yanjiao, so there was no need to argue about it all the time, but in the future, when he found a new place, a new river without a name. Learn from the Yanjiao people, give them a name, and then insert a stone tablet with the totem pattern of the Longboat tribe!
Shao Xuan looked at the big river in front of him, it was actually about the same size as the Yan River, "If this river is the main river that we know through the mountains and forests, there should be many crocodiles living in this river, but now it's winter, those crocodiles may have hidden, or gathered in a warmer section of the river to spend the winter." ”
Timber nodded. He had been to the Yanhe trading area, and he had seen the people of the Ya tribe riding crocodiles from the Ya tribe to the trading area, so he knew what the crocodile Shao Xuan was talking about.
"Everyone be careful, although those crocodiles may not be here at this time, they should still be vigilant! This is a mountain forest where fierce beasts live!" Some people may also be careless in some small details, and don't beat or pressure too much. It's too late to regret something happens.
"I once saw a huge crocodile in this river, and that is the biggest threat, if you encounter it, retreat decisively, run away from the river and the sea, and don't go to the boat. The speed of the ship is nowhere near as fast as its speed. ”
"Could it be a king beast?" As a member of the Cha tribe, Qing Yi was very interested in the crocodile that Shao Xuan said.
"No, it's not at the level of a king beast, but it shouldn't be much worse. ”
Qingyi thought for a while and said to Shao Xuan: "There are no crocodiles around here. But I feel like there's going to be something in the river that I need and I want to see. ”
The people of the Yu tribe are good at water, and they did not enter the water here at the mouth of the sea, but went upstream for a while, and other people around him were cutting down trees to build resting houses, or hunting to prepare food, and if he encountered an accident, he could also call for help in time.
After determining the river section, Seiichi took a deep breath and jumped into the water.
The people of the Yu tribe actually don't like winter and don't like the icy river, but in order to find what they want, Qingyi can't care so much at this time.
The totem power in the body worked, and with the appearance of the totem pattern, the skin on the surface of the Qing Yi began to thicken, and the stimulation of the cold river water became much weaker. After fusing the fire, he is more proficient in the use of power, under the influence of the fire, the power of the totem is also more and more refined, and the manufacturing of water moon stone has also exercised his skills, so to speak, in order to save physical strength as much as possible, he can use the power in his body to every place that needs to be used, extremely accurate, and will not do unnecessary consumption.
Shao Xuan and Duo Kang were discussing the layout of camping here, they didn't know when they would be able to wait for the Taihe tribe, just in case, it was better to make more preparations, and it was impossible to sleep on the boat all the time.
After winter, they don't know whether the sea near the coast will freeze, and during the time they are waiting for the Taihe tribe, they still have to learn how to maintain the boat from the longboat tribe, and they have to overhaul it from time to time, otherwise after a winter, the boat can not be used, how to go back?
When building the camp, Shao Xuan also got some edible plants that were not available on the other side of the sea, or herbs that could be used as medicine. Of course, if it is too big, it is inconvenient to carry, and it may not be the best time to replace it by pressing strips, cuttings or meristems, but Shao Xuan can't help it, they can't stay here all the time.
When the people of Yanjiao were collecting plants or catching some beasts suitable for raising, the people on the other side of the longboat seemed to react.
Shao Xuan saw that Mu Felling couldn't stay idle all day, and took people around, "This, this, this, this, and this, all dug up for me and brought back...... What is it? It's so ugly, don't care, take it away...... Wait, who's that, where did you drag the snake from? Dig it when you were digging the grass? I haven't seen that pattern, so bring it back. What? The people in Yanjiao said it was highly poisonous? Forget it, just slaughter and eat it!"
In addition to the time for building the camp, Mu Felling led the people of the Longboat tribe to dig herbs and catch wild beasts with the people of Yanjiao, and they did not feel tired without resting, and they were always in high spirits.
After the camp was built, the perimeter of the site was also surrounded by a ring of tall tree trunks, forming a wall that could stop some unnecessary minor troubles.
Hothorn consulted with the people of the longboat and decided to reuse the trees here to build a new ship. This was planned before departure. So this time, Shao Xuan and the others also brought some new bronzes, which were used for shipbuilding.
The shipbuilding technology of the Longboat tribe has been improving, and after entering the sea, having seen the marine environment, the people of the Longboat tribe have more requirements for the boat, and they can only continue to improve. ships to satisfy their ambitions.
In the past, although the wood used for their shipbuilding was carefully selected, and even a few tribes attached to them planted trees, and then selected the best wood from those trees, but those were not as good as the trees that Yanjiao cut from the mountains and forests.
A lot of timber is a lot of material trade, but here, the good wood is ownerless. Cut down which tree you like, as long as you don't provoke those hibernating beasts.
And since the Longboat tribe has better wood and new bronze produced by Yanjiao, this trip to the sea has also made the wood felling think more.
They need to make the longboat tribe truly open a new era, to fulfill the wish that their ancestors have been waiting for for generations, and they must constantly renovate and innovate the ship.
Due to the limitations of the wood itself, they designed "floor ships", on which heavy buildings were built. As a battleship or command ship. In the Spring and Autumn period, with the development of warship construction technology and operational needs. In addition to this, the timber also intends to explore a fixed route and find suitable places to serve as ports, so that these can support a large seafaring fleet.
If they want to develop from an inland river fleet within the continent to a true maritime powerhouse, they need to make continuous breakthroughs in technology. Anchors, sails, docks, paddle wheels......
Wood felling in his spare time constantly thinking about how to innovate and improve, this voyage, let him have a lot of insights, from time to time gathered a group of talented longboat people to discuss, Shao Xuan once glanced at the design drawings drawn by the woodcut. The drawing is very brief, and Shao Xuan doesn't understand the markings in many places, perhaps because of this, the wood felling is relieved for Shao Xuan to see.
But just those things, Shao Xuan knew that in the matter of shipbuilding, the longboat people were indeed geniuses, and in the near future, after the people of the longboat tribe had more seafaring comprehension, they might be much more powerful than Shao Xuan thought, and would be more suitable for the marine and river environment of this world and this era.
In fact, many civilizations that started with agriculture were more moderate, and were not keen on expanding their territory, but were inclined to a peaceful and moderate mentality, focusing on inheritance, and taking things from generation to generation, thinking that as long as they were stable and stable. If there is no provocation, it will rarely take the initiative to launch an external attack.
To some extent, Flame Horn is also more inclined to agricultural civilization, although hunting, although there are many wars in the history of Flame Horn, but it is true that there are few active attacks.
The difference is that even if the tribe also farms, they are more inclined to sail, especially when the navigation route is opened, and it will go in the other direction.
In terms of climate, the sea is far more unpredictable than the land, and as the loggers say, they must constantly improve their ships and tools to ensure that they survive on the vagaries of the ocean, which contains great power. Then the temperament will also change, no longer conservative, more outgoing.
After this period of contact and observation, Shao Xuan found that the people of the Longboat tribe had begun to show aggression, of course, this was not against their flame horns, but at those unknown places, and more lands that made them curious.
"Grand Elder Shao Xuan, do you see that these are what you call the Water Sun Stone?" Qingyi came over with a spar. During this time, he found a lot of rough stones in the river that were similar to the Water Moon Stone, and perhaps others might not be able to distinguish those stones from ordinary stones, but for the wicked people of the Za tribe, it was as simple as distinguishing black from white.
Shao Xuan took the stone, blocked it with his hand, looked at it, and nodded, "Yes, that's it." ”
Returning the spar that had changed from the original stone to the water sun stone, Shao Xuan remembered something, "There are many metals here, relatively speaking, there are very few beautiful spars, so many spars that have no practicality for us are very popular with people here, and those who are not short of food and have a slightly higher standard of living will choose some rare spars to wear, which can show their uniqueness, especially the slave owners, the rarer the spars, the more they like them, the more they can reflect their superior status." ”
Hearing that the water sun stone can be sold at a high price here, Qingyi's heart was immediately excited, but he was soon disappointed, "It's a pity that our tribe is far away from the coast, so it is impossible to come here often." ”
However, the people of the Za tribe didn't have much ambition, and Seiichi only regretted it for a while, so he didn't care about it, but he was quite interested in it. When Qingyi was talking to Shao Xuan just now, he kept eavesdropping with his ears, because there was no unspeakable secret involved, and Shao Xuan didn't stop him from eavesdropping.
Now, Qing Yi didn't say anything, but Mu Fa suddenly said: "Actually, you can make a deal with our Longzhou tribe." ”
Water Moon Stone is found in many places on the continent over there, and there are even many luminous crystals similar to Water Moon Stone, but now that he has encountered a tribe that produces Water Moon Stone, Wood Felling will not let go of this opportunity.
Their longboat tribe will continue to travel between the two continents in the future, and he even plans to open the first sea trade route, maybe this will become a thorn in the side of those slave owners, but the people of longboat will definitely not care, not only will they not be restrained, but they will be more unscrupulous.
The first route of maritime trade...... Just thinking about the wood felling makes me so excited that I want to jump a few times.
After the camp is built, the first new ship will also be built, the people of Yanjiao are responsible for cutting trees, the people of Changzhou are responsible for building, and the newly built ship also has the share of Yanjiao, Shao Xuan is not afraid of the people of Changzhou playing tricks on the boat.
The changeable marine environment makes it impossible for the longboat tribesmen to bear it alone for the time being, and they will continue to rely on the help of Yanjiao, and when they encounter difficult things to choose, they will negotiate with Yanjiao, instead of acting alone, they need to achieve a win-win result through the exchange of interests with each other.
As for Qingyi, he offered to help, but in terms of strength, Qingyi was not as good as Yanjiao people, and in terms of shipbuilding skills, he only stayed at making rafts and bamboo rafts.
When Qingyi offered to help, whether it was the people from Yanjiao or the people from Changzhou, they all smiled and said, "Let's play on the side." ”
Therefore, Qingyi is now ******** looking for those water and stone rough stones in the river.
After fifteen days in this place, Chirp finally brought good news.
Shao Xuan listened to the eagle's roar in the air and said, "The people of Taihe are here!"
"What? It's finally here?!" Duo Kang, who was carrying the wood, threw the wood and ran in the direction Shao Xuan pointed out.
I haven't seen you for so long, and I don't know how the old neighbor is doing. (To be continued.) )
PS: Sorry, something happened yesterday. There is one more more.
