Soon, the orcs who had gone out to cut down trees returned. Although there were many species on the Beast God Continent that she had never seen, the most common species were not much different from those on the Blue Star.

She hadn't looked closely before, but the bark of these trees was twice as thick as the usual bark on the Blue Star, as if she knew that someone would one day use them to make paper and had grown two more layers of bark.

The orcs turned their claws into beasts, some of them quickly ripped off the bark, and the rest of the orcs were responsible for splitting the trunks into firewood.

The female orcs were on the sidelines tidying up and helping to put things in order.

Only tree bark is used to make paper, but in order to keep warm during the cold season, the orcs start lighting a fire in the middle of the cave from the next day. So instead of just stripping the bark, they cut the whole tree back.

Di Mu saw that the bark was too thick, so he simply asked the orcs to tear it when they were dealing with it. It's the same as tearing squid shreds, it's quite fun, and a few orcs are addicted to it.

The prepared bark is thrown into a large vat filled with water and soaked thoroughly.

The soak takes two days, the day after tomorrow to continue.

Looking at the soaked bark, Di Mu suddenly remembered the 'bark cloth' he had seen in a small village of the Miao people in the south before. Bark cloth, as the name suggests, is cloth made from tree bark. Before the advent of cotton and linen, people were in the era of 'non-woven'. And bark cloth appeared in the Stone Age.

Bark cloth was also widely popular for a period of time, and until the 20th century, the Miao people in Hainan still insisted on using it.

It has an irreplaceable special position in anthropological and cultural history, because only bark cloth can prove the development process of human clothing from non-woven fabrics to woven fabrics. Making clothes from bark cloth is a great contribution of the Li people to human society.

If she remembers correctly, Cai Lun's hometown seems to be Guiyang, which was known as the hometown of Miao people at that time. Therefore, many people speculate that the production method of Cai Lun paper was inspired by the production of bark cloth.

However, bark cloth has strict requirements for tree species, and not just any kind of tree can be used. The best tree species for making bark cloth is poison dart wood, also known as the 'Bloody Throat Tree'. Seeing the Bloody Throat Tree, you can sense its danger from its name.

Cut the bark, which contains milky white juice and contains highly poisonous. When the juice touches the wound, it will paralyze the heart of the poisoned person, seal the blood vessels, coagulate the blood, and even suffocate to death, so people call it "seeing blood to seal the throat".

It is a highly poisonous plant and at the same time a medicinal plant.

In primitive societies, blood-sealed throat trees were found everywhere, but with the development of time, poison dart trees became more and more rare.

For Di Mu, the clothes made of bark cloth will definitely not meet her requirements in terms of closeness and comfort. But until cotton and linen are found now, bark cloth will be a leap for the entire tribe.

Orcs have been wearing animal skins for countless years, and even some remote tribes can't even wear animal skin clothing, they only use leaves to barely cover their nakedness.

"Cubs! Can you help me take a look at the poison dart wood around the tribe? "Di Mu woke up the cub.

The cub was just resting, and was suddenly woken up in a daze: "Yes, there is a large area in the territory of the forest tribe. ”

Di Mu's eyes lit up: "Go?" ”

"Let's go! ... Where to go? Bad hosts! Didn't I say the system can't help you probe it? You actually tricked me while I wasn't sober! That's when the cub reacted.

"Poof~" system cubs are really cute.
