Chapter 27 Canoes Built, Influences
In the next half month, the tribe ran step by step.
Because of the flash floods, too many tribes were affected. In the early stage, people from the hunting team went out to encounter them and brought them back. Later, some tribes even started to come to the camp to seek refuge.
For these people, Xia Qi accepted them all.
But with more people, trouble comes.
First, the camp wall he planned before was too small to accommodate so many people. But if he built an outer city wall according to the design of the inner and outer city walls, it would be a bit unnecessary to take off his pants and fart.
After all, the current tribe is far from reaching that scale, and it is a pure waste of manpower and resources.
So simply, Xia Qi waved his hand and drew a circle that was a bit exaggerated at present as the route for building the camp wall.
In addition, as there are more people in the tribe, there will be more conflicts.
Some tribes had feuds in the past. It’s not really a feud. It’s just that I caught a prey and it was robbed by someone from another tribe. Then I took the people from the tribe to find a place to teach the people of that tribe a lesson.
Had a meal.
Once and for all, the feud is settled.
Listening to the shouts coming from the tribe from time to time, Xia Qi's brows turned into knots.
I don’t know if watching the excitement is a common problem among humans. Often when someone has a conflict, people who hear the commotion will gather around to watch the excitement. This is not acceptable, as it will greatly affect the development progress of the tribe.
Although his current strength is still the highest among the players, Xiao Guangren said that there will be more players entering one after another, so that the competitiveness of the players will become stronger and stronger.
Moreover, the current Xia tribe can only be said to have some ability to protect themselves in this primitive world. Becoming king and hegemony is far from being considered. Therefore, rapid development is the last word.
Putting aside everything else, that cannibal tribe is a very big threat.
In order to prevent something like this from happening again, Xia Qi set up a special inspection team to take charge of this issue.
However, conflicts in the tribe cannot be left alone, otherwise the conflicts between members will only accumulate and become more serious. When one day they break out, they may become more than just minor disputes.
For this reason, Xia Qi specially said that if you want to fight, go outside the tribe and fight. As long as it does not affect the work in the tribe and does not kill people, you can fight as you like.
This is where the tribe members' affairs come to an end.
However, during this period of time, more and more corpses were washed into the lake. Wherever you looked, there were piles of corpses floating on the lake, including those of beasts and humans.
It was impossible for Xia Qi to just watch these corpses.
Because he did not think that the creatures in the lake could eat up so many corpses. If left alone, when these corpses rot, they would inevitably pollute the water source and even cause plague.
Besides, can people still eat the fish that have eaten human flesh?
If possible, Xia Qilian wouldn't want to drink the water in the lake.
For this reason, he once again emphasized that the water in the lake cannot be drank directly and must be boiled before drinking.
Afterwards, Xia Qi began to organize people to salvage the bodies in the lake.
However, the corpses close to the shore are easy to deal with, but how to deal with the ones located deep in the lake?
At this time, Xia Qi remembered the canoe-making blueprint when he opened the treasure box.
Originally, Xia Qi wanted to give the production drawings to the little fox and let her take the lead in making the canoe.
However, the little fox is really too busy during this period.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Being busy can almost be described as not touching the ground.
Issues with long ax handles, bow and arrow research and development, and leather armor.
The problem of the long ax handle is easy to solve. The material has been found. It just needs to be polished to the required thickness.
The research and development of bows and arrows has not progressed yet, but Xia Qi has discovered materials that can be used to make the bow body.
Among them, the most important and tedious one is the leather armor.
Leather armor is not just a random piece of animal skin. First, it needs to be hardened, then it needs to be cut, and finally, it needs to be sewn together.
Hardening and cutting, work in this area was completed, but then the development came to a standstill.
Suturing, how to sew without needle or thread?
So much so that now, every time the little fox sees Xia Qi, he will look at him with resentment. For those who don't know, he thinks something really happened between the two of them.
When he thought of the little fox's resentful expression, Xia Qi refused to ask her to make a canoe. Otherwise, he was really afraid that the girl would come to fight for him.
In fact, making a canoe is not complicated. You only need to find a big tree and hollow out the middle part of it.
During this period, you can dig it out with tools or set it on fire.
As for the existence of production drawings, it is only to improve the success rate of production and the quality of the canoe.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, the canoe was completed three days later.
[A "canoe" appears in your civilization, and you gain 200 civilization points, 20 industrial points, and 10 production points]
Xia Qi was not surprised to receive rewards. He had already figured out that as long as there were items in the tribe that were beneficial to the development of the tribe, he would be rewarded. It was just a matter of more or less.
Just like when Tao successfully fired pottery some time ago, he received a reward of 500 civilization points and 100 points each for culture and industry.
It can be said that canoes are much more difficult to make than pottery, but the rewards obtained are much smaller than pottery.
Among them, there must be rules that Xia Qi has not figured out yet.
Back to business.
This canoe is about ten meters long and one and a half people wide. It took a lot of effort just to cut it down.
Because it was too heavy, it was made in situ. However, even if the inner wall has been hollowed out now, I am afraid that the weight of this canoe will not be less than one ton.
With this weight, even a bear cannot move it, and it requires at least twenty people to work together to lift it.
However, it is still hundreds of meters away from the shore.
When everyone was frowning at this, Xia Qi just smiled and asked people to bring some logs.
After placing the logs in front of the canoe, Xia Qi greeted everyone:
"Why are you still standing there? Come here and push!"
A group of people looked at Xia Qi with some confusion, but Xia Qi just smiled and didn't answer, looking like the Riddler who wanted to be beaten.
"Hurry up, what are you doing?"
Faced with the urging of their family head, no one dared to neglect it.
"Hard! Push! Hard..."
Xia Qi shouted slogans among them, and a group of people pushed the canoe hard together.
Finally, with the concerted efforts of everyone, the canoe finally moved.
The canoe moved forward little by little, and then the bow pressed on the first log.
With the successive circles
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
As the wood rotates, the force required by everyone to push the canoe becomes less and less, making it easier and easier.
Under the stunned expressions of others, the canoe was pushed into the lake.
When the bottom of the canoe left the lake shore, Xia Qi jumped into the boat, waving the paddle and driving the canoe to paddle easily in the lake.
Canoes can be regarded as the predecessor of ships in the true sense. Because they are built in one piece, there is no need to worry about water leakage.
After paddling the canoe in the lake for a while, Xia Qi slid the canoe back to the shore.
At this time, the shore was already full of people, all staring at this scene in stunned silence.
The newcomers regard it as a miracle and want to worship it. After all, in their little-experienced vision, I am afraid that only the illusory god can easily move around on the lake.
The old members of the tribe knew that this must be a new thing invented by the head of the family.
Xia Qi was happy when he heard the reminders of increasing loyalty one after another. He didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.
Then Xia Qi found a few more people and asked them to come up into the canoe. These people were all old men in the tribe. Although they were in awe of Xia Qi, they were not as afraid of Xia Qi as the newcomers. They were as afraid of Xia Qi as ghosts and gods.
Under the envious eyes of the people, the person chosen by Xia Qi climbed into the canoe at once.
The inside of the canoe is very large, so it is just more than enough to accommodate a few more people.
After that, Xia Qi began to instruct them to use paddles to control the canoe.
These people were all carefully selected by Xia Qi, so they learned quickly.
Seeing that these people had almost learned the lesson, he got out of the canoe and asked a few people to salvage the bodies in the lake.
After the corpses are brought ashore, the skins are peeled off if they are well preserved and have not deteriorated. If the corpses have decomposed, they are burned together with the corpses.
As for eating, that is not possible. After all, there is no shortage of food in the tribe, so there is no need to take such a big risk for a few bites.
So, for the next period of time, there was a smell of barbecue floating around the camp.
There were too many corpses in the lake for one canoe to handle, so Xia Qi ordered canoes to be built again.
Because of experience, five canoes were built at the same time this time.
Two days later, five canoes were launched. The first few people had now become veterans, leading the new ones, and each person was responsible for one canoe.
In this way, the speed of recovering the bodies is greatly accelerated.
However, since then, there have been more and more fires used to burn corpses outside the camp. When the wind blows, the aroma of barbecue wafts directly into the jungle.
The consequence of this is that more and more tribes find this place following the smell.
But it's not just people who find this place, there are also a lot of hungry beasts.
Fortunately, the Xia tribe's current military force is more than enough to deal with these beasts.
Therefore, there was a lot of extra food and animal skins in the tribe.
However, as a precaution, Xia Qi specially transferred the bears back to protect the tribe members working outside the camp.
