Chapter 457: Moondial
Construction began in Xicheng immediately.
Everyone has seen the drawings and models, and they are very much looking forward to these three giant buildings, and everyone is in high spirits, and Xicheng is suddenly in full swing.
But the process of construction was not very smooth.
The beasts and insects had been hungry all winter, their eyes green with hunger, and they desperately needed to eat.
Xicheng has a large population, and every day powerful fierce beasts are attracted to attack Xicheng, and some time ago, there were even three powerful top king beasts jointly attacking the city.
The strength of the top-level royal beast is equivalent to a sixth-level warrior, and Ye Xicai, who has the highest strength in Xicheng, is only a fifth-level warrior, if it weren't for the Wu and the warriors joining forces to resist, the entire Xicheng doesn't know how many people would die in the mouth of the beast.
This made all the tribes scared and happy at the same time.
Once again, everyone was glad that they had followed Ye Xi's decision in the first place, otherwise what would happen if the tribes lived separately, their scalps tingled when they thought about it.
"Knock knock!"
"Ding-dong, ding-......"
Xicheng was noisy, filled with the sound of rammed earth and axes and chisels.
The ground was littered with cement, dust, and stones.
Crowds come and go, some people carry the mountain rock that has just been collected from the outside to the place where the carving tribesmen polish it, some carry the boulders polished by the carving tribesmen to the foundation, and some people push simple carts to transport cement.
Looking down from the sky, these people are like transporting worker ants, working diligently.
In the crowd, Ephid tribe Emu also had a sturdy upper body, arms muscles slightly bulging, carrying a huge unpolished huge rock block, striding towards the carving tribesmen.
A sweaty soldier passed by, and when he saw Ebony, he immediately shouted familiarly: "Ebony, are you back?"
The Aphid Man looks burly but is not good at communication, and the ebony seems cold, but in fact nods stupidly.
The Yu Gang warrior didn't think it was angry, and said with a smile: "It's time to eat, there is mushroom stew broth today, if you go late, you will grab it all!"
Ebony's eyes lit up, and Harazi almost flowed down: "Have mushroom stewed broth today?"
The mushrooms in Xicheng are all bred by the big white mushroom brought by Ye Xi, and the mushroom meat is tender and delicious, but Xicheng has a large population, and no matter how many mushrooms there are, they don't need to eat it, so they can only eat it every few days.
"yes, and it's so good!"
Ebony swallowed hard and quickened his pace: "Then I'll finish this trip quickly!"
The Yugang warrior resisted the boulder on the ebony shoulder: "Send it back, the soup is almost bottoming out, why don't you run quickly?!"
Ebony grinned silly, his black charcoal-like face showing a row of shiny teeth, "Thank you then." ”
"It's okay, just go back and bring me some aphids!"
"Hey!"
Ye Xi, who was inspecting not far away, inadvertently heard this conversation and couldn't help but smile slightly.
The people of the Yugang tribe are arrogant, and they look down on those small tribes of 100 people in their bones, and they usually don't want to talk to them too much.
But after this period of running-in, and the experience of joining forces to resist the attacks of fierce creatures again and again, the feelings of the tribes have become deeper and closer.
Perhaps frequent attacks by murderous creatures are not a bad thing......
Ye Xi looked up at the two huge dark green pterosaurs hovering in the sky, and thought with a smile, it seemed that he had to eat sour pterosaur meat again.
Seeing that although everyone around him was working hard, they were all full of vitality, and their eyes were full of hope for the future, Ye Xi was also in a very comfortable mood and full of energy.
Spring is a good season for everything to revive and be full of vitality!
Ye Xi was very interested, and suddenly wanted to make something new for Xicheng.
Xicheng is backward, and he can only rely on the sun and intuition to see the time, and he can't accurately remember the time, so Ye Xi wants to be a tool to see the time. The leakage of the drip kettle is too troublesome, Ye Xi touched his chin and thought about it, and decided to make a sundial to come out.
With great interest, he personally selected the stones, and finally chose two huge snow-colored stones.
The texture of this stone is not too hard, but the whole piece is white and flawless, without a trace of variegation, and it will glow slightly in the sun, which is very beautiful.
Ye Xi did not let the busy carving tribesmen make sundials, but polished the base plate and polished the dial by himself.
Everyone didn't dare to let Ye Xi do it, and wanted to help him do it, but they were all driven away by Ye Xi mercilessly, leaving only one Aori to accompany him and talk.
"Brother Ye Xi, you said that you can see the time when you make this thing like a drip pot leak?
"Yes, this thing is very simple, it will be ready immediately, and I will teach you how to read the time later. ”
"Good!"
The Aori chick squatting next to him nodded again and again as if pecking rice, looking well-behaved and lovely.
After a while, A-Weaving thought of something, and his eyes became resentful: "Brother Ye Xi, why don't you wear the silk clothes I knitted for you recently?"
Some time ago, because Ye Xi often went into the mountains and forests to hunt, the silk robe was inconvenient, so he changed into a leather armor made of the skin of the king beast.
These days, he is used to wearing it, and he has forgotten the silk coat.
Ye Xi thought for a while and replied cautiously: "The silk clothes are too precious, I want to wear them when the Great Sacrifice is due." ”
Aori smiled at this time and said very intimately: "It's okay, the skin of the king beast is also very strong...... By the way, I'll help you weave another layer of silk vest inside your leather armor, it's safer!"
Ye Xi turned his head and smiled: "Okay, then it's troublesome to Weaving." ”
He also wanted to find something for Aori to do.
At the beginning, he personally promised to personally send Azhi back to Mulberry Silkworm Ridge, but it would take a month to go back and forth to Mulberry Silkworm Ridge, and now Xicheng is in ruins, and he really can't leave for so long.
So he always asked his clansmen to accompany Aori and coax her to play with her, for fear that she would be bored and mention going back.
Ye Xi continued to talk to Aori while polishing the dial.
"Ahh
Suddenly, Ye Xi's expression froze, and he slapped his forehead suddenly, and moaned in annoyance.
"What's the matter, Brother Ye Xi?"
Aori was taken aback.
Ye Xi scratched his hair and smiled bitterly: "...... It's fine, it's just that something went wrong. ”
Why is he so stupid, there are two suns in the sky here, how can he use a sundial to see the time?
Maybe a science student could recalculate and make a corresponding sundial based on the two rounds of the sun, but he, a liberal arts student, might as well forget it, and don't bother with that.
Staring at the half-polished snow-colored stone, Ye Xi clapped his hands and decided to make a "moondial" to come out!
There are two suns, but there is only one moon here, we can't make sundials, and we can't make moondials?
As soon as he thought of it, Ye Xi continued to polish the stone and quickly made the moondial.
The huge snow-white moondial is located in Xicheng Square, delicate and spotless, and under the strong sunlight, the whole moondial is sparkling and almost sacred.
The base dial of the moondial can be adjusted, and the angle is calibrated when the red moon comes out in the evening.
The people around gathered around and stared at it rarely.
Ye Xi stood up, patted his hands full of dust, and repeatedly looked at his freshly baked moondial, feeling very satisfied.
But looking at it, he suddenly had a happy time.
This thing is good-looking, and the style is magnificent, but everyone is used to sunrise and sunset, so what's the use of watching the time at night? This moondial is just a decorative tool.
...... Depending on the time, you have to do something else.
How about a water clock?
This thing is timed by water and buoys, and it seems a bit complicated, and I don't know if I can do it myself.
At this time, the white turtle tribe's big witch frowned, and hurriedly walked towards Ye Xi with a bone cane.
"Lord Xiwu, there is a murderous hexagram!"
