Chapter 41: The Fate of the East River Tribe
On the piers of the Garlic Tribe, larger galleys replaced canoes.
Unlike a canoe, which can be navigated by a single person, a galleys requires several people to manoeuvre, sailing when downwind and rowing against the wind.
Compared to canoes, galleys can enter deeper areas of water, are faster, more stable and firm.
With the possession of galleys, the radius of the garlic tribe was further expanded. Their footprints spread all around the East River, and they officially entered the East China Sea for the first time and began their initial voyage.
However, this also raises the question of resources. A galley requires a lot of wood, linen and a portion of copper, and takes more than ten times as long to build as a canoe.
The garlic tribe has very little flax and relies on wild collection, but there is no shortage of wood and copper. Due to material and workmanship problems, the galleys of the garlic tribe also had only three for a long time.
Lu Yao was not in a hurry.
After mastering the technology of making galleys, the next step is to upgrade the manufacturing technology and collect more resources.
While the Garlic Tribe was exploring the offshore area, the East China Sea Tribe, which had not appeared for a long time, came to the docks again.
They still ride in old canoes and carry traditional bows and arrows. Except for the absence of a sea monster, the women did not change anything from when they first met.
The Garlic Tribe's dock has grown to a size, and a large, sturdy galleys are parked next to it. In comparison, their canoes are particularly shabby.
The leader [grandmother] said, "Friends of the garlic tribe, we see your big boats, they are fast and very agile. ”
"Your ships have gone into the ocean and have been wandering inshore. Sailing in the sea is a very dangerous thing, and without the corresponding experience and technology, you can face shipwrecks and death anytime and anywhere. ”
"The Donghe tribe is a branch of the Donghai clan, and we have experience and skills in navigating on the water, and this knowledge is very valuable."
"We hope to exchange your [Nautical Skills] for your [Galleys] skills."
The tribal leader did not immediately reply.
He consulted with the astrologer Shahan and the inventor of the galleys, Yu Lian, before responding.
"When the Prophet and the Shaman were alive, our two tribes maintained a long-standing friendship, and although there were conflicts, we still respected each other in the end. Many young people in the tribe are the result of the union of the two tribes. ”
"However, the deal you have proposed is extremely unequal. ”
"Our galleys can go into any water, and it's only a matter of time before they master the art of sailing."
"And until then, the galleys will get stronger and stronger. Until our fleet can fill the rivers and enter the sea, all the water that reaches is the range of our tribe. ”
"But you can't build galleys."
"The population of the Donghe tribe continues to decline, and the Yanchi tribe no longer appears on the river. Everything you need comes from our tribe, wood, wool, meat, potatoes, garlic. ”
"You are an outcast branch of the Clan, and since you were unable to breed sea monsters, the Tokai Clan has stopped providing you with any support. You can't even go back to the sea, because without the sea monsters, the wind and waves will destroy the canoe. ”
"The garlic tribe has been helping you."
"As long as you join the garlic tribe, you will master the [Galley Sailboat]. At that time, you will return to the sea in these mighty ships, and you will no longer have to whisper to the Tokai clan. ”
"There are many ways to gain respect, but the best way is to be strong enough! Believe me, my best brothers and comrades-in-arms died because of this, I know this very well. ”
The lobby was rejected by the East River tribes.
They were still stubborn, and the group left in a canoe.
Just as Lu Yao was evaluating whether to push himself and have a hurricane or something, the long-standing internal contradictions of the Donghe tribe broke out because of this.
On Ship Island, the Donghe tribe split into two factions.
The three female captains want to join the Garlic Tribe, but [Grandmother] insists on retaining the independence of the East River Tribe, and the two sides cannot convince each other. So the female captains took 74 people to the garlic tribe in a canoe and officially integrated here.
[Grandmother] took the rest of the people and drove the canoe all the way towards the East China Sea, apparently wanting to return to the source of the East China Sea clan.
Lu Yao didn't know if they had successfully crossed the sea and returned to their hometown.
What is certain is that from this day on, the Donghe tribe will become history.
The addition of female captains brought important [seamanship]. They also brought their own charts to sweep away a lot of unexplored water fog around them.
Lu Yao dragged the mouse, overlooking the East River and the East China Sea.
Compared with the vast East China Sea, the land where the garlic tribe is located seems very small.
The Tokai clan's base camp is on a medium-sized island in the southeastern part of the East China Sea. It's just that there is a fog there, indicating that the Donghe tribe has not been in contact for a long time.
If you don't master the sea routes and navigation, it's hard to get all the way from there.
Even if you master the corresponding technology, it is almost impossible to complete the sea crossing without a canoe escorted by sea monsters.
Lu Yao felt that most of the Donghe tribes that returned to their ancestral land were sent.
But that doesn't matter.
What matters is this group of women who have just joined the tribe.
To Lu Yao's delight, the women of the Donghe tribe showed their hidden racial talents. They are extremely fertile and are able to conceive and give birth to babies in a short period of time.
In a way, this is the strongest ability in the Tribal Era!
As long as the population can continue to grow, the tribal civilization will eventually be able to move to the next stage and enter a new era.
An unwarranted association popped up in Lu Yao's mind.
Probably, the primitive tribes on the earth also had such an experience.
Some tribes are good at hunting, everyone is strong, some tribes are fertile, and some tribes have mastered planting techniques...... Different tribes have come together in various ways, combining the strengths of each family to form a new human race that can enter the next era.
……
In the simulator, Lu Yao operates three threads.
In the castle, Isabel is still mentally polluting the boss Blood Knight, waiting for an opportunity.
The ghost town of Saniro, where the ghosts continue to perfect the city of the dead.
In the garlic tribe, the age of sail is quietly coming.
All three parties need a certain amount of time to digest and metamorphose.
Taking advantage of this, Lu Yao turned the simulator into a minimum, ready to find a comedy to watch and relax.
The recent series of multi-line operations has made Lu Yao tired enough.
The pixel villain is dying everywhere, and he has to rescue himself at any time.
The pixel villain eats and waits for death, and he has to give them a big pocket to let them stand up.
This mood can be said to be quite mixed.
The gods really don't have holidays.
Compared with himself, God who takes six days off and one day off can be regarded as passive and slacking.
Before he could find the film, a message suddenly came from Isabel's side.
"My lord, the timberwolves have found a tribe of cavemen in the mountains with a size of 40 people."
All right!
Just try the actual combat strength of this group of timberwolves.
As a result, Isabel's next sentence was: "Before the timberwolves attacked, they voluntarily surrendered and were willing to become vassals of the garlic tribe." ”
Lu Yao was suddenly lost.
Surrender without firing a shot?
These cavemen don't know where they learned their bad habits.
