Chapter 1195: Lighting up the technology tree for primitives

In such a primitive society with extremely backward productive forces, it is impossible for those giant natives to "eat" enough. Therefore, after having some food in their stomachs, they basically rest and recuperate, and no one will do exercises to lose weight.

Moreover, before night, the giant natives were ready to go to bed, after all, there was no other entertainment.

In fact, not to mention the giant natives, even in the more civilized and advanced cultivation world, the vast majority of people are ready to sleep when it gets dark. Only those officials and businessmen will have the ability and opportunity to go to those Qinglou Chu Pavilions at night for recreation.

The so-called "nightlife", including staying up late at home or even staying up all night, is probably only enjoyed by people in the world of technology. Whether it's going to a bar, singing, eating a barbecue, or just playing games online at home, the rich have the rich nightlife, and the poor have the poor people's pastime.

This tribe of giants and natives has not even formed a language and writing, and there is no chance to read a book at night, except to create a man, only to sleep.

The giants didn't know how to build a house yet, so the place where they lived was actually a huge cave. This is incomparably huge, of course, from the perspective of "normal people", and these giants are barely enough to protect them from the wind and rain.

As soon as it was dark, the giants had already reached the cave, and then a few strong giants brought in thick logs to cover the entrance to the cave. They are just taller, and like "normal people", they are afraid of wild beasts or poisonous snakes and the like running in while sleeping.

As the sky darkened further, the cave was almost out of sight due to the absence of a bonfire. At the same time, some of the giants in their prime, the only entertainment at night, began to work hard to create new life.

Fortunately, the targets chosen by Ye Zan's side were an old man and a teenager, and they were already asleep at this time.

The old man, lying near the entrance of the cave, had almost nothing on the ground, except for the removal of the "stones" of the man. He also slept at the entrance of the cave, that is, if any beast rushed in from outside, he could "block the robbery" for the rest of the tribe. It sounds cruel, but if it weren't for this effect, I'm afraid he would have received less food.

Not to mention respecting the old and loving the young, a group that has not even formed a language and writing can now be regarded as a group of social animals. There is a saying in the ancient Chinese country, called "know etiquette and know etiquette when you are honest, and know honor and disgrace when you have enough food and clothing", these giants and natives are far from that extent.

"Well, what kind of place is this?" The old man had not long fallen asleep, and suddenly found himself in a strange place, and he couldn't help but look around curiously and worriedly. And his question is not the words that come out of his mouth, but just what he thinks in his heart. After all, even if there is no standard language, he can know what he is thinking, and he will always have what he wants to say.

The old man looked around and found that the strange place he was in looked a bit like a cave where he lived, but it was very different from the cave. For example, the well-known caves tend to be round, and there are always protruding stones and the like inside. But now, the cave he saw in his eyes not only looked boxy, but also the walls were very regular and even smooth.

After looking at it for a moment, the old man felt that there was no danger, and then he dared to walk around, wanting to know more about this strange cave. He came to a "cave wall" and found that there was actually something on the smooth cave wall, which was a series of scratches forming strange shapes.

Although the giants do not have words, they still have some instinct for remembering, or it can also be said that they have the teeth of words. It's just that they often follow their own ideas, and they draw how they think, and as a result, they may not be able to understand what they write down later.

And now, facing the "shape" on the wall of this cave, although he had not seen it at all before, the old man understood it at first sight.

"These ...... It turns out that this figure means this...... That figure can express that meaning......" The old man looked very carefully, looking at the figures on the wall, and the more he looked at them, the more excited he became. He was originally full of thoughts that he couldn't express, but now he finally has a way to express himself, and he only feels extremely happy in his heart.

While reading, the old man also broke through and remembered that if he wrote down these figures by himself, wouldn't he be able to record some things in the future? Although the living conditions of the tribe were very harsh, and there were hardly any special things in ordinary times, there would be something worth recording after all.

So, after reading all the figures, the old man went back and touched them one by one. This time, he read it very carefully, touching each pattern many times with his hands, so that he could write down how to draw such a shape.

In fact, under the control of the Lin family's sisters and brothers, even if the old man wakes up from his dream now, these words can still be clearly written. However, the old man did not know that he was guided by someone in a dream, and naturally he did not know if he could write down these things. Therefore, in order not to miss such an opportunity, the old man had no intention of being lazy, and just stupidly studied one by one over there.

On the other hand, the giant boy who was chosen by Ye Zan and others had a much better sleeping place than the old man. After all, even primitive people know that children are related to the reproduction of the tribe. Therefore, even if they don't hold their children in the palm of their hands, they will still give them some "preferential treatment" to a certain extent.

Not only did the young man sleep in the cave, but he also had a few animal skins under him, which was much more comfortable than the old man's.

At this time, the boy also entered the dream realm, but what he saw was different from the old man's. This dream of the boy was like returning to the day of the tribe, and he was in front of the cave where the tribe lived. The boy didn't know that he was dreaming, but he was just looking forward to the return of the hunters as usual, and at the same time he looked around boredly, looking for something interesting to play with.

Then, the boy saw a black-looking stone on the ground, and for some reason he reached out and picked it up. He took the stone and knocked it on the rock next to him with a little force, and immediately saw sparks flying everywhere. Some sparks, falling into some dead grass, soon rose wisps of green smoke, and flames came out.

In fact, if it were in reality, if the boy saw such a scene, his first instinct would be to throw away the stone and run to the adults in the tribe for help. After all, they don't know how to use fire, and like other beasts, they have a great fear of fire.

But in the dream, the boy was not so much doing these things as watching them happen. Or rather, he wasn't him in the dream, at least not the one who would do all the normal reactions when he was awake during the day.

Therefore, after seeing the dead grass burning the flames, the young man not only did not panic and ran to find the adults, but also "had an idea" to pick up some branches and add them to the pile of dead grass little by little. Moreover, his method of adding firewood did not look like a beginner at all, and he did not make any beginner's mistakes, so that the flame burned more and more smoothly.

After the flames were burning, the boy ran to bring some stones, and surrounded the fire to form a rough looking stone furnace.

What can I do with the stove? The boy stood there, adding some wood from time to time, and looking around for "inspiration". Soon, not far away, he saw a "thin" looking stone slab, which seemed to be just right for the stove.

So the boy dropped the firewood in his hand, ran over and brought the slate over, and sure enough, it was on top of the stove. As the flames continued to lick the bottom of the slate, the top of the slab was quickly burned to the ground. And the boy was also very "smart", and immediately knew that the stone slab could not be touched with his hands, but could be used to put some food.

Dreams have no logic at all! Just now, the boy was still waiting for the hunting adults to come back at the entrance of the cave, but it was already time to distribute the food. So, in the young man's hand, there was an extra piece of bloody beast meat, and then it was placed on the hot stone slab.

The sound of "hiss-la-la", accompanied by the aroma of barbecue, made the teenager waiting by the stove swallow his saliva.

The young man used the firewood he had picked up to pick the animal meat on the stone slab, and let the other side of the animal meat be roasted by the stone slab. The boy who barbecued meat for the first time saw that the barbecue was edible because of his "experience", so he picked up the barbecue with a wooden stick.

"It's so delicious!" the boy took a bite of the meat, and found that the roasted meat was much more delicious than the usual raw meat.

An old man and a teenager, each with different dreams. The old man learned words in his dreams, and at the same time he learned language unconsciously. The boys learned to make fires, to use fire to grill food, and to know the deliciousness of cooked food.

Because everything in this world is very large, even the natives have huge bodies. Therefore, the use of fire is indeed a big problem here. After all, if these giants use a "normal" campfire, it is like a big man threading a needle, and there is no way to barbecue food. However, if they use a "campfire" suitable for their size, they face the problem that the fire is difficult to control.

After all, a giant more than ten feet tall, if you enlarge a bonfire in the same proportion, it is like setting Notre Dame Cathedral on fire, how can it be used to barbecue food. But, as the boy did, as long as the fire is enclosed, there is a transition between the fire and the food, which can be used to grill the food.

Don't underestimate that this is just an extra slate! If there is no guidance from Ye Zan's side, let these giants think for themselves, I really don't know when they will be able to think of using the power of fire in this way.

When the day dawned, the giants in the cave woke up one after another, and the old man at the entrance of the cave and the boy in the cave also sat up from the ground. It's just that after the two of them sat up, they both seemed to be in deep thought, recalling their respective experiences in their dreams.

"I know how to record! I went to a strange place last night, where I learned how to record, believing that it must be a gift from the gods!" the old man found that he remembered everything in the dream clearly, and then he said in a loud voice to the people in the language of the tribe.

If the old man only said that he had learned to write, I am afraid that those people in the tribe might not pay attention to him. However, the old man mentioned the gods and said that learning to write was a gift from the gods. At this moment, the people in the tribe could not turn a blind eye.

That's right, giants also fear the gods!

Fear of the gods, it is not necessary to have seen the gods, and many people's reverence for the gods actually comes from their own incomprehension. For example, they can't understand why there is thunder and rain in the sky, so they think that thunder and rain are the power of God.

And these giant natives, although they are much larger than "normal people", actually do not have the so-called "extraordinary strength". As a result, they are also frightened by the incomprehensibility of natural phenomena and attribute them to the power of the gods.

"What do you say, the gift of the gods?" asked the leader of the tribe as he stepped out and approached the old man.

"Yes, you come and see...... In this way, this is a 'sheep', we hunted a sheep yesterday, and we can write it down with this pattern. Also, this is a 'fruit', and the fruit grove we found before can be recorded with this pattern. As he spoke, the old man picked up a stone from the ground and scratched it on the wall of the cave beside him.

Although, due to the unevenness of the cave wall, the pattern drawn by the old man was not good-looking, but at least it still made everyone see some appearance.

Actually, for this tribe, records are not of much use, after all, there are not many things worth writing down. However, this "pattern" is a gift from the gods, and even if it is not of any use, the people of the tribe dare not take it lightly.

As for whether the old man was lying, no one in the tribe doubted. At this time, people have not yet awakened to the "gift" of lying, so no one doubts whether others are lying.

There was once a film about a world without lies, where a man suddenly learned to lie and began to make a fortune by lying.

That film, which may have a meaning, is similar to a fable, letting people know the disadvantages of lying, admonishing people to be honest and so on. However, there may also be a deep meaning, which is to imply that the reason why human beings become human beings and defeat other people of their kind is because human beings are the ones who lie. 2k reading web
