Chapter 77: The Iroquois Method of Making Fire

Especially when you smell the scent of other animals.

But as the saying goes, if you have wine today, you will get drunk today, and you will drink cold water if you collapse tomorrow morning.

The three wild boars probably agreed with this statement and planned to eat and then poop regardless of the situation.

In fact, the above two sentences are nonsense. The real reason that makes wild boars bold is that apes in this era are too weak and can hardly cause harm to them. Therefore, when the biggest wild boar takes the first step, it gloriously becomes the first.

The protagonist of a fairy tale.

They trotted in threes and came to the nutritionally balanced buffet with meat and vegetables. They looked around again and then started to eat.

Wang Yang didn't pull it in immediately. The three wild boars added up to only six to seven hundred kilograms, which was not heavy. If everyone pulled them at the same time as him, they could take the three wild boars into the sky.

But in fact, it is impossible for everyone to understand me and pull together with me. The three wild boars will still be on the ground. When they charge, they will be unable to pull them back.

So he waited.

Not long after the food was finished, the little pig and the other pig walked aside, looking for other food.

The largest boar stood on top. He seemed to be very happy and proud of his meal, and even purred twice with satisfaction.

Wang Yang sneered, stepped on the tree trunk in front of him, and pulled back sharply.

"Spit it out after you eat it!"

The one immediately closed up and wrapped around it. The hole just passed through its calf, strangled its thigh, and was closed up.

It still didn't understand what was happening. It lowered its head and looked curiously. It wasn't until it realized that it might be possible to escape from the ground that it began to struggle and howl.

The trapped beast's struggle was very powerful. Wang Yang could only feel the uninterrupted pulling force stretching his arm, as if it would separate the flesh and bones before he would give in.

He suddenly felt bad. If he continued to be entangled like this, his arms would be broken.

"Pull with me!" Wang Yang shouted back. The adults were still watching the scene of the wild boar being trapped in great surprise. After Wang Yang roared like this, those who grabbed the rope also noticed the force coming from their hands.

, just pull it without thinking about it.

With the combined strength of several people, the wild boar was immediately lifted to a height of more than one meter.

Without saying a word, Wang Yang let go of the rope and rushed towards the wild boar.

Needless to say, at this time, the herder and others also realized that this was an opportunity to kill the wild boar and rushed over.

Come to the wild boar, pick up the bone spurs and stab them randomly, killing the wild boar quickly.

When the other two wild boars heard the screams of their companions, they turned around and ran away.

The blood was flowing and the wild boar had lost its breath. Wang Yang motioned for everyone to put it down.

Everyone was extremely excited and surrounded the wild boar, pulling at the wild boar. They felt very magical. They all looked at Wang Yang, raised their wooden spears and shouted.

"Woo~"

"Woo~"

Wang Yang chuckled: "Stop barking, we will attract the wolf later."

The crowd paid no attention to him, they kept shouting and were very excited. In the past, hunting wild boars was risky for them. Who could have been stabbed in the stomach?

Now I have found such a good way to add a long-term menu to the recipe.

Traps made with ropes can greatly reduce head-on confrontations with prey, reduce the probability of injury or even death, and greatly increase the success rate of hunting. As long as you pull it, you will never be able to escape.

The promotion was positive. In the next few days, Wang Yang took them in every day and let them watch the fucking process over and over again.

He even tried his best to walk into the trap and let them pull him up.

They learn this very quickly and it doesn't take much effort for them to master it.

Now they can have one team with wooden spears and continue to use the driving tactics, while the other team uses rope traps.

The team with the rope can often obtain prey more stably.

It is very necessary to make another one.

But Wang Yang gave up this plan for the time being.

After all, if you continue to collect plants, you will get someone else's territory, and the cat will definitely not be happy.

Wang Yang tried it, but when he went up the mountain again, he was chased and intercepted by the fear cats.

Moreover, the amount of food obtained now is really a bit large, and we only need two days a day. Fruits and meats are not easy to preserve. Except for those that are dried, they often rot.

Wang Yang was speechless. Once productivity increased, he felt that the population would be insufficient.

The population is indeed not enough for current development. The adults have to hunt for food, and the friends are slowly cultivating orchards, and the progress is slow.

You have to do a series of tasks such as picking plants, getting fibers, twisting ropes, etc. all by yourself, which makes you extremely busy.

I don't have time to study other things, such as the large logs that are getting more and more piled up in the canyon, so I have to find some way to use them.

It is impractical to build a house, it is impossible to build a wooden ox and a horse, and the catapult seems to be of no use in a forest densely covered with big trees.

You can think about bows and arrows. Wild boars can now be captured. The sinews on the wild boars can be used to strengthen the bow body and bow strings. You cannot use materials with strong elastic properties.

But it would take too much time and energy for him to cut off a small part of the bow body from a large log more than ten meters high, so he would not spend time on it for the time being.

What I want to do now is to make a few more and eat as much as possible, even if it is wasted.

If the meat is rotten, the worst thing is to feed it to saber-toothed tigers.

All in all, the population is still too small. Even though the adults are trying hard to create humans in their spare time, it still seems too slow.

Wang Yang thought for a long time and decided to improve the existing tool first-the fire-making tool.

As we all know, animals are afraid of fire. Holding a fire stick in your hand is a great deterrent to them. It is particularly important to develop a tool that is easy to carry and can quickly make fire.

Before there was no rope, it was difficult to develop. Now that we have the rope, we can develop in a variety of ways.

For example, when making fire, we used to make fire manually. We relied on a pair of hands to rub it hard, without any skills, and it took us almost to death to get some sparks.

There are thousands of ways now.

For example, the Li people use wood to make fire. They find a small curved branch or stick and tie a rope on both ends to turn it into a small bow-like thing. Then use the rope to wrap the fire stick several times, back and forth.

Pull it and the wooden stick will automatically rotate.

How to describe this thing? Everyone knows about erhu, the scene is like playing erhu.

Wang Yang really wanted to try playing the erhu, but unfortunately he was missing a pair of black glasses.

He decided to use the Iroquois method of making fire.

This method of making fire is so efficient that it can be called a Stone Age classic.

It is also quite simple to make.

Drill a hole in the top of the stick for making fire, put two ropes through it, tie a knot, wrap it around the stick and snake it down.

Then take a small wooden stick, cut three holes on the left, middle, and right, pass the wooden stick through the middle hole, pass the two wrapped ropes through the other holes, and then tie them with a knot.

At this point, a semi-finished product is formed, and this semi-finished product is actually ready for use.

Put your hand on the wooden bar with three holes and press it down. The rope will be pulled and then extend downward. The stick will rotate rapidly due to being wrapped around it.

And due to the habit, the rope that was originally wound to the right has been wound to the left. The wooden bars will automatically rise, and the person making the fire only needs to press down easily to get it done.

Wang Yang remembers that when he was a child, he had a toy. When he pulled the rope at one end, the rope would make a whirring sound. This principle was used.

Of course, the reason why it is said to be a semi-finished product is that it still lacks an accelerator. Without an accelerator, the power of the surname will be much weaker, making it difficult to achieve the ideal easy press.

The accelerator is also very simple, just a small round wooden block one centimeter thick.

It took him almost a day to finally make a decent tool.

It was already dark, and the adults brought back today's prey, another strong wild boar.

The little friends gathered around the adults happily, watching the wild boar's eyes light up, as if they had seen the fragrant barbecue, their eyes widened and they drooled.

The little friends went to get it out of curiosity, but were pushed away seriously by the expeller, who carefully held it in his arms for fear that the child would break it.

Wang Yang was amused by the miserly behavior of the expeller and was very happy.

With prey, it is natural to slaughter and make fire.

He took the stone knife and cut the wild boar skin with difficulty, and everyone made room for him.

He removed as much of the skin as possible, then cramped it, and finally lit a fire.

The work of lighting a fire requires the cooperation of two people, and it is usually his parents who do it.

This time was no exception. His parents took out fire tools and prepared to light a fire.

He took the newly made tools, squatted aside, and then called a few times to attract everyone's attention.

Everyone came over, looked at him, and then looked at the new fire-making tools. They understood that Wang Yang had made something new again, and looked at it very carefully.

Wang Yang and his parents started making fire at the same time. He wanted everyone to clearly understand that the new tool could be used by one person and be more efficient.

He started to press down, and the wooden stick was driven by the rope, rotating, and then driving the rope, pulling up the wooden bar. Wang Yang pressed down again, rotated again, and pulled up the wooden bar.

The friction sound of "whirring" sounded quickly, and the wooden stick rotated faster and faster, without stopping at all times.

As for his parents, every few minutes, a different person would have to continue rubbing to ensure continuous friction.

Ten minutes later, Wang Yang's fire-making tool started to emit green smoke, and everyone stared with wide eyes in disbelief.

Seeing more and more green smoke, and the rotation speed getting faster and faster, Wang Yang's parents stopped making fire and stared blankly at the tool.

"Zizi" a little sparks splashed from the notch onto the dead leaves, and then more sparks splashed out.

Wang Yang's mother quickly covered the pile of hay, and not long after, a ball of flame quickly shot up, reflecting on everyone's dull faces.

"Huh~ It's so fast. It should have shortened the time by at least half." Wang Yang stood up, very satisfied.

"Woooo~" Everyone screamed in ecstasy, and they crowded forward to try it out. Several friends were pushed down, but they still persisted in squeezing under the adults' crotches.

The fastest one is the driver. He squeezes the others away and holds the tool in his arms with one leap. No matter how many people pull him, he won't let go.

Wang Yang burst into laughter, this guy is really a miser.

(The second update is out, a little late, but it’s a good start anyway, try to keep it up.) (I just found out that the last chapter had more than 2,000 words in total, but only more than 1,000 words were published. I immediately gave
