In the long course of history, human beings everywhere invariably invented pottery in the process of development, because after the ancients observed the properties of clay, it was easy for the imaginative to think that clay could be used to make containers.

The biggest advantage of ceramic containers is that they can be customized and can withstand high temperatures.

Prior to this, the Homo sapiens tribe had all kinds of containers, including animal bones, leaves, and stones, and wooden tubs were considered luxurious equipment.

With such a configuration, it is difficult to even get water, and I don't know how much effort it took to build the paddy fields.

Without pottery, don't expect Homo sapiens to be productive. If you don't have a clay bowl, you can't even cook rice.

Therefore, Chen Feng adjusted the priority of pottery making to second only to farming.

In ancient times, there were mostly two kinds of pottery, one was called the wire rod method, and the other was the inverted mold method.

The so-called wire rod method is to first use clay to spread a round cake, and then knead the clay into a clay strip, so that the clay strips are surrounded by a circle, and placed on the clay disc.

This technique has been passed down for a long time, and it is said that the terracotta warriors and horses were made in this way, and experts found traces of wire rods inside the broken terracotta warriors, indicating that the clay embryo of the terracotta warriors was pinched out with wire rods and then kneaded for exterior decoration.

The inverted mold method has been used for a longer time, first using stones or bamboo baskets to make a mold, applying clay on it, and waiting until the clay is dry, and then burning or taking out the mold.

Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. If the pottery made by the wire rod method is not in place, it will leak the seams, resulting in the inability to hold water; The inverted mold method is more troublesome and also requires molds, and the things pinched out are not good-looking.

In general, the wire rod method is more applicable and easier to learn.

Chen Feng asked Mochizuki to find a large stone slab and polish it as smooth as possible, then went to the stream to dig up some red clay, carefully picking out the hard lumps and stones in the clay.

Sprinkle a layer of plant ash on the slate to prevent the clay from sticking to the slate.

Pull a lump of clay, throw it on the "pop", first spread a round cake, pinch the circle around the round cake, pinch it into a plate, and then rub the mud strips, and go up in a circle.

After the clay embryo is ready, let it dry for a while, and when the clay is a little harder, take the snail shell or bean pod and polish it.

Then start a fire pit, light it, put the clay pot upside down on the fire pit, cover the clay pot with firewood, bury it in the middle, wait for the fire to burn out, and then wait for the clay pot to cool down, and a pottery product will be formed.

For Mochizuki, who was watching the firing of the clay pot for the first time, the Juggernaut's behavior was like magic, and he was dumbfounded.

The gray-brown mud in the dancing flames, through the cracks in the branches, he saw that the clay pot glowed as red as the morning sun, even redder and more brilliant than that, the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life.

After the pot was fired and cooled, he carefully picked up the pot that had turned red, gently brushed it with his fingers, and flicked his nails on it, making a distant crunch sound.

He thought of the goddess, the delicate texture of this clay pot, as if it could be blown and broken, reminded him of the goddess last night, the exterior is hard but the inside is so fragile that when it is broken, it will make a pleasant sound, like an elk with long horns and entangled by branches, with a kind of tragic beauty.

He couldn't help but shudder as he touched the clay pot.

This clay pot is the crystallization of craftsmanship! It is the realm of the gods created by the hands of man!

He's going to describe it in one word, technology...... No, technology alone is not enough to describe, this should be ...... "art"!

The juggernaut said lightly: "The efficiency of using the fire pit to burn clay pots is too low, after you go back, you and the clansmen will build a kiln together, one furnace can burn 4 or 5 clay pots, and it will take ten days, and the entire tribe can use the clay pots." ”

Mochizuki was holding the clay pot, but after hearing this, he had a trace of inexplicable worry in his heart, and asked, "Is it really good if everyone can use such a precious item?" ”

The corners of Chen Feng's mouth twitched: "I can't even wear pants, but it's okay to have aristocratic thoughts?" It's not something unusual, and my requirement is that everyone must have it! ”

Mochizuki nodded ignorantly, he still felt that it was not good for everyone to have it, because he was worried that those ignorant clansmen would not understand what art was.

Holding the master's clay pot, Mochizuki returned to the clan land, claiming to form another pottery group.

In this group, he will select the most ingenious, the most aura and awe-inspiring people, because this group will become the most important group in the future.

Unable to balance the cultivators and the potters, Mochizuki assigned the responsibility of the leader of the potters to the goddess, who learned how to make potters and then took over the power of potters for herself.

His move caused an uproar within the tribe, with some complaining that there were too many groups and too heavy tasks, and some wanted to break their heads into the new group.

Putting aside the Homo sapiens tribe in advance, when they were vigorously engaged in production and construction, Chen Feng's research points had already been accumulated, and he pointed out two new technologies.

【Colonial Vanguard】

Requirements: 220

Effect: Civilians and troops can now be used to clear swamps and jungles from the plot. Unlock the Wonder "Temple of Miro" (+25% food output from all nests, +1 divinity)

【Fungus blanket ramming】

Requirements: 350

Effect: Ore and food resources can be used to upgrade the residential area, increasing the residential area capacity to 5000.

These are two key technologies, after pointing out the [Colonial Pioneer], Chen Feng directly executed the jungle in the nest, and the two jungle plots were removed, revealing the flat land covered with the fungus blanket.

Immediately afterwards, a spore farm was built on two vacant lots.

These two spore farms produce 2 food and 1 mineral, and the spore farm increases food output by 2, here because the surrounding jungle is clear and the light is sufficient, an additional 1 food output is added, and because it is close to the Eye of the Blue Star, it increases food output by 4 points.

In other words, the output of these two lands is 9 food and 1 mineral, which together provides a total of 18 food and 2 minerals for the Scourge.

Don't underestimate these 18 points of food, after the residential area is upgraded, these 18 points of food will become 180 people, which is equal to 18 points of scientific research and human resources.

After adding these 18 points of food, Chen Feng, who was sitting on two nests, already had a total of 159 points of food output.

The [Fungus Blanket Overbase] technology necessary to upgrade the residential area has also been pointed out, and Chen Feng's accumulated resources are enough, so he directly chose to upgrade the original residential area.

In this way, the population capacity of Chen Feng's residential area has reached 5,000 people. And he allocated 120 points of food to increase the population, and it is expected that it will not be long before his population will exceed 1,000.

The overall mineral output is a shortcoming, with only 62 points per day. However, in the third ring of the main nest, there is a place where ore veins are enriched, and Chen Feng plans to save a wave of psionic points and directly buy that land to build a salt worm mine.

There is also a jungle plot at the second ring of the main nest, which is currently not used for any purpose, just enough to be used to build the Wonder [Miro Temple].

At this point, all the preparatory work for the construction of the spectacle has been gathered.
