Chapter 9 Innovation

Glancing at this low mountain, Chen Xu couldn't help but show a look of surprise in his eyes, thinking that it had not rained in this primeval jungle for a long time, and dead trees and rotten branches were as common as stones in his own era in this era, after all, in this era, there was no other landform on the earth except for the ocean and the jungle!

Withered branches are naturally everywhere!

But despite this, Chen Xu was still quite satisfied with the work of this group of apes, and with his very lame ape-man language, Chen Xu had a brief exchange with the ten apes, and reluctantly expressed his appreciation.

This scene received a fierce response from the ten apes, and it seems that Chen Xu's praise should be the first time in the entire primitive society.

If there were historians here, they would definitely know that this kind of language of praise first began in the Neolithic Age! This kind of discourse that modifies the surname is the product of the social cluster after it has reached a certain stage and the class has initially emerged, and it can be said that Chen Xu has advanced it by hundreds of thousands of years!

Waving his hand to signal the ten apes to calm down, Chen Xu untied the rough rope from his waist, pulled it with his arm, and pulled it to both sides, feeling the toughness of the rope.

As the tendons and veins on Chen Xu's arms bulged, when he was not running his internal qi, the rope was only creaking under Chen Xu's peak strength, but it was not broken.

At this point, Chen Xu understood that the tenacity of this rope was enough, and he had to say that the tenacity of these old vines in the mountains was really okay, if he remembered it well, the rattan armor of the rattan armor soldiers in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was woven from this old vine.

It's just that the old vines they use for weaving are in the barren areas of the border of the Three Kingdoms, which is very rooted, but if you compare it with these old vines in the mountains, it is really a small thing, after all, the old vines in the mountains on Chen Xu's hand are ancient varieties of eight hundred.

"If there is oil, I can't say that I have to get a few sets of rattan armor to use it, but according to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the manufacture of rattan armor takes more than ten years of work, which is too time-consuming, but maybe I can make some simplified versions!"

Letting go of the rope in his hand, Chen Xu turned these boundless thoughts in his mind, but the movements at hand did not stop, but divided the firewood collected by the apes into several large parts, and then selected a large part, about three or four hundred catties of weight, and tied it with this rope.

With his current strength, if he does not use internal force, about one hundred and fifty pounds of things can be lifted with one arm, and if he uses internal qi assistance, it is estimated that he can lift about two hundred and fifty pounds of things.

Now this bundle of firewood, Chen Xu can lift it with both arms, but if he wants to carry it down, it is simply impossible!

Taking a slight breath, he slowly handed down the bundle of firewood, and slowly hung it down along the gentle slope on the top of the mountain, and Chen Xu put it at the mouth of the cave in the mountain before stopping his movements.

Waving his hand to signal No. 1 and the other ten apes to come over, Chen Xu pulled the rope and used the rudimentary ape-man language to convey the message to these people, and after a while, he finally let these apes understand what he meant.

So, when the apes caught the rope and pulled the firewood together, preventing it from continuing to fall, Chen Xu could finally let go of his hand.

Even after gesturing to signal these apes not to relax, Chen Xu immediately stretched his body, followed the vines on the side, and quickly climbed down from the top of the mountain, and soon came to the entrance of the cave.

There, the remaining three in the hunting team, the three sturdy apes named No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 by Chen Xu, were looking at the thick pyre hanging at the entrance of the cave with a curious expression, a little overwhelmed!

Although he had known for a long time that the apes had a problem with their brain capacity, Chen Xu still felt a little amused when he saw that they couldn't even understand such a simple intention.

With a slight force on his arm, he shook his body up, and with this concussive force, Chen Xu was like a squirrel, and with a whoosh, he rushed out of the vines and came to the cave, scaring several apes into trembling!

Waving his hand, motioning for these apes to look, Chen Xu stretched out his arm, grabbed the pyre dangling in mid-air, and suddenly pulled it into the cave.

Signaling these apes to hold up the firewood pile below, Chen Xu untied the knots on the top, scattered the firewood, and then motioned to these apes with a frightened face to send these firewood piles to the depths of the cave, thus completing the first consignment in history.

After that, Chen Xu demonstrated this process several times, and under his demonstration, these eleven ape-men participated in this labor, combined with specific actions, they finally remembered this way of transporting materials, in a certain sense, it can be regarded as a big step forward, spanning the distance of millions of years in evolutionary history.

After transporting all the wood to the cave, all the apes and men returned, Chen Xu re-lit the bonfire in front of everyone, and then took the simple bamboo spear he made to the fire for final drying and reinforcement, in order to obtain a weapon that could be used.

Soon, under the gaze of the eleven ape-men, Chen Xu used the raging fire to solidify the old bamboo that had grown for an unknown number of years one by one, and gradually dried the water in it, revealing its incomparable edge.

After the thirty or so bamboo spears were completely dried, the sun had risen to the angle of east and west, and according to Chen Xu's estimate, this time should be around nine o'clock to ten o'clock in the previous life.

Similar to the previous time, Chen Xu still tied up these bamboo spears with Teng Suo, and then climbed out first, came to the top of the mountain, and then dragged the bamboo spears up.

After all the apes climbed up, Chen Xu untied the lock and released the bamboo spear, and then hid the rough rope in the middle of the bamboo forest to prevent it from being lost by unknown creatures.

Later, Chen Xu distributed the bamboo spears, and asked each of the apes in the hunting team to carry five on their backs and tie them to their bodies with vines, while Chen Xu himself carried ten heels, and the remaining ten old, weak, sick and disabled people also tried their best to carry some, just like that, everyone took most of these bamboo spears with them.

In front of the apes, Chen Xu raised his arm lightly, picked up a bamboo spear, and immediately signaled, demonstrating to the apes how to use a bamboo spear to stab and attack closely, and throw a long shot.

After a while, after these ape-men had basically mastered this weapon, which was much more advanced than the stone tools in their hands, Chen Xu knew that it was time to go.
