“…… Woo ...... "When he got up the next day and saw the fruit in the ashes, Lyle puffed out his face.
Burned.
Small cups, large cups, small bowls, and large bowls were all wiped out, but he thought that the large jars that were the easiest to burn out were spared, but the matching lids were also broken, and the yield was outrageously low.
It is the [genius] who has a whimsical idea, achieves an acceptable result through many attempts, and improves to the optimal solution, and the [traverser] who has a whimsical idea and goes directly to the optimal solution at one time, and Lyle is only the former, and this result is quite good.
"Why didn't this burn out?" Lyle, who picked up the big jar to clean up the ashes inside and outside, couldn't help but think.
Of course, to really come up with the answer, it needs to involve material science and microstructural changes, which is definitely not something that can be done in this era, at most it can only move in the direction of empirical summary of 'whether it is unevenly heated' and 'whether it is not enough firepower', which is not an answer at all.
But Lyle didn't think much of it for long, for he was soon captivated by the depth of the pot, which he flipped over, held high and covered his head.
"Wow, oh~" The ghost clapped happily after screaming in the clay pot.
Don't be in a hurry to make fun of him, many people have done things like putting plastic bags on their heads when they were young, sticking their mouths into the cup to inhale and suck in the cup, and hiding in the same position every day to jump out to scare their parents.
"Don't move." Lyle's mother stepped forward to pick up the clay pot from her son's head, carefully for fear of smashing it.
Not to mention that she had learned about the function of this thing from her son yesterday, she could also think of what to use it for the first time when something of this shape was placed in front of her!
Although their cave is not far from the water source, there is no shortage of water in the dry season, but it is obviously more convenient and safe to carry the water back to the cave to store and drink than to quench their thirst frequently.
"How?" The chieftain, who was also very concerned about the clay pot, came to inquire.
"Touch...... It's not like dirt. After a few more touches, Lyle's mother handed the pot over.
"It's not like a stone," the leader tapped lightly and didn't dare to push too hard, and a slightly crisp voice came out, and asked the inventor, "This, can it really hold water?" ”
"It should be." Lyle didn't dare to say too much, the clay balls he threw into the campfire before would not turn back into soft dirt when exposed to water, and he was confident in the material, but he was not confident that this jar would break after being filled with water.
"............" The leader nodded, no matter what the final result was, she had already admired Lyle after playing with the mud for a few months and burning the mud into this kind of thing, and she was even more determined in her heart to let Lyle play around.
Without entrusting anyone else, the leader personally walked out of the cave with the clay pot, and the others naturally joined in the fun and followed.
Originally, Lyle also wanted to follow, but he was caught by his own mother, so he could only sit on the ground and check those failed products to see if he could find the reason for the failure, so that he missed the scene where the clay pot was filled with water for the first time and the clansmen cheered in unison.
…… Alas, what a mother.
————————————————————————————————
In the first year, wood was drilled for fire; Tree rattan weave.
In the second year, I groped for firing pottery, but the failure rate remained high; Before winter comes, use tree branches, vines, and mud to make a windshield wall with an entrance and exit and place it at the entrance of the cave to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past; The knotting technique is used to create a simple full set of animal skin clothing to improve the warmth effect.
In the third year, a pottery kiln was built to raise the temperature, honeycomb panels were made for placing pottery blanks, clinker was added to the clay to prevent cracking, and the shell was polished to make the pottery smoother, so as to improve the process of firing pottery and improve the yield and quality of the finished products. The beaten stone tools were improved into polished stone tools, which were combined with wood to make better quality tools.
In the fourth year, they squatted by the creek for a long time to observe the habits of the fish, and weaved fish pots to add a way for the tribe to obtain food that even children can complete.
In the fifth year, a field was carved out next to the cave, and a kind of yamava-like thing was planted, and it was successfully watered every day to make it grow. The leader hunted and brought back some piglets and tried to breed them, but found it difficult to stop the piglets from escaping and slaughtered them directly.
In the sixth year, in view of the failure of breeding piglets, an attempt was made to build a place for raising pigs, and as a result, it was built and turned into a house for people. The walls are framed with small tree trunks, the walls are built with branches and vines mixed with mud, the roof is covered with a layer of fired tiles and a layer of branches, and there is a vent under the fireplace outside.
- All of the above, if you want to spread out and narrate, it is estimated that it can be 500,000 words, but it comes and goes is the same [Boss Doubts] + [Ah Ping Expectation] + [Ah Zhuang Help] + [Ah Fan Shock] + [Singing Praises and Virtues], which is really not necessary.
During the period, there are also opportunities to communicate with people from other ethnic groups, but the main thing is the need for exogamy + walking marriage, although the primitive people can't say why, but when the endogamy system is implemented, the babies born in the clan are easy to die, and they still know that they need outside blood.
Bartering was carried out several times as an opportunity for marriage, but there was no need to elaborate on such incidents as 'waging an invasion war by coveting clay pots', 'abandoning hunting and becoming a merchant tribe', and 'fleeing for the sake of sufficient food brought by fish cages'.
As for how the other ethnic groups marveled after getting the clay pots, and how the men who returned to their own ethnic groups after the popping were blowing, there is no doubt that it is the content of the irrigation, and it has nothing to do with Lyermao.
Time flies, and the bear child has become a young and strong member.
Although Lyle has shown unbelievably high talent over the years, he is still a native primitive in his bones. For example, he will not have the knowledge that he will get sick when he drinks cold water and because there are bacteria in the water, and he can only learn by himself the content that can glimpse clues from nature with the naked eye; For example, the leader said that he would keep his species in the clan (matrilineal clan + exogamy + walking marriage, and the children belonged to the mother), and he could not care about the harm of consanguineous marriage, and happily went to the most beautiful Ami according to the aesthetics of primitive people; For example, the primitive human race of this era was frantically giving birth to cubs, and when they found that they could not support so many people, they split into new groups, and he did not have the foresight to propose the opposite, annexing nearby ethnic groups to form a state.
The life of primitive people was very difficult, and even if Lyle made the group well-fed, warm, and productive, it didn't change that. Someone died of illness last month, this month someone was killed by prey while hunting, and the next month someone was poisoned by a poisonous snake while collecting wild fruits.
It's just that these can be counted as providence, and man-made disasters may come sooner rather than later, but they will never come.
