Chapter 80 The Wasteland Girl
"I never imagined that life there would be so difficult..."
I felt a little heavy after listening to it.
Although everything in the story described by Jay was natural, as if the world was born this way. But what I saw in it was a huge picture of the joys, sorrows, and joys of countless creatures on a strange planet.
As far as the gentle tribe where Jay lives is concerned, such a world is no longer unfamiliar to them. However, these native aborigines have also faced misfortunes such as diseases, wild beast attacks, hostile wars, and natural disasters since ancient times.
According to Jay Jay's recollection, her Brown Pool tribe first lived on the edge of a lake with brown water. Many people died of severe parasites, metal poisoning, gastroenteritis, and malaria due to drinking water, so they moved there.
They left the settlement and developed a survival technology including a simple water well based on the principle of a water purifier.
They also understood that every step of the tribe was paved with the sacrifices of countless people, so the tribe elders named the tribe Brown Pool to commemorate the tribesmen who died.
"Nature has always been cruel. That's why I worked hard to learn knowledge from the tribal elders and wanted to become a wise person like her. As long as I have enough wisdom, I can understand the nature of nature and lead my tribe to build a city!"
"Build a city? Are you serious about your dream?"
"Of course! The tribal elders said that our tribe came out of a city. When we accumulate enough resources, we will be able to rebuild the city." Jay Ya thought seriously, "We will have fixed land by then.
We can also pass on this knowledge, more people will join us, and we won’t have to be threatened by those barbaric tribes.”
Build a city? That's a very complicated task, much more difficult than my attempt to revitalize the Ore Town Ranch.
I remembered the feeling I had when I first came to Ore Town, without any relatives or friends, and I thought of this tribal girl who was still nomadic in the wilderness, and her tribe had no fixed place to live. How much effort will it take to achieve this goal? And will it succeed?
Woolen cloth?
I want to help her.
"So, what do you still need before the city is built?" This question involves her plan. I wonder if this tribal girl has a complete understanding of her dream.
Jay Ya thought for a while, then started counting with his fingers: "Our population is not enough. Although we have separated two groups of tribesmen, together they cannot defend a territory independently. We also rely on the power of the tribal alliance to follow them as a whole.
migrate."
"And the food production is not enough. We need new food crops or sources. In one or two years on a piece of land, all the edible things will be eaten up, and there will be no more food to collect, so we have to move elsewhere.
.”
"Many people still die from diseases every year. The more people there are, the faster the infection will spread. If we can't find enough drugs and have qualified medical technology, we won't be able to bring everyone together."
"Then the elders said that our construction technology and defense facilities are not enough, and we cannot build a solid wall to protect ourselves."
"Hey..." Jay Crow sighed, struck by the various difficulties that emerged in his mind, and put down his fingers, "There are still so many problems, and it's really not enough."
As a slightly primitive tribe, their technology tree still has many flaws. The nomadic life is indeed the most suitable system for them. There is still a long way to go before they can be upgraded to a town.
I could only comfort me: "Since we are allies, I will provide you with my share of help. But I think you still have to go step by step."
"Oh? Marcus, do you also know this knowledge?" Jay looked at me expectantly, hoping that I would continue talking.
I cleared my throat and began to express my point of view: "I think before settling in the city, you should upgrade from a nomadic life to a farming life. The key point is to plant some high-yielding crops and abandon watching the weather for food, and focusing on woodworking, gathering, fishing and hunting.
Production methods. This is the fundamental solution to the problem of food shortage you mentioned, and it can also solve the problem of population size. By then you will only think that there are too few people in the fields."
"It makes sense...then what can you do?" Jay Ya's little face became obviously nervous. My plan touched on the core issue as soon as it came up, which made her heart immediately rise. She hoped that I would come up with a plan that would work.
Effective plan.
“Are you going to plant crops now?”
"Yes, we grow many kinds of fruits..."
"That's not enough. The yield of these crops is too low to be used as food crops. Then do you hunt?"
"Hmm, warriors in the tribe regularly hunt animals such as wild boars and moose, but hunting is often dangerous, and the tribe elders do not allow too many people to participate. It is only within the scope required to ensure the supply of meat and provide furs."
"This order is very sensible. You know where your advantages are. You and I will come back to town later. There are crop seeds for sale in the grocery store. We will pick some for you to take back and try to see which crop is suitable for you.
Planting. After all, I don’t know much about the climate over there… What’s your expression like that?”
I was still analyzing it, and saw the jay showing an embarrassed expression, letting go of the short bow it had been holding so tightly, and trying to give it back to me.
"Do you really want to help us? Then I will return this bow to you. I can't take advantage of you so much."
I firmly put the short bow back into her hand again, pretending to be unhappy and said: "We are allies, isn't that what you said? Can't you give some gifts to your allies?"
The jay saw that there was no hypocrisy on my face, and then he safely put away the short bow again. Although this little girl received the education of the tribe, she was still too naive, and her thoughts were written on her face. No wonder the tribal elders
He will teach her how to pretend to be mysterious, which can indeed deceive her for a while.
But for me, this is a visitor event released by the colonist system, and I definitely don’t need to deceive her. If I honestly increase the visitor’s favorability, I can get more system rewards.
"Then I have always wanted to tell you that the police chief this morning is not a bad person. He came to me just because the town cannot prevent fires at will. You just smashed his glass, so you need to go to him with me to apologize." Take advantage of this.
When I had the opportunity, I quickly explained the matter to prevent the misunderstanding from deepening. Fortunately, it was just a broken glass.
I don’t believe that Harris has the courage to hold a little girl accountable. Even if he dares, Boss Dart will rush over to teach him a lesson as soon as he hears the news, right?
"Is that so? Why can't you light a fire in your territory? Then how are you going to bake something to eat?" The jay showed a puzzled expression, as if his world view had been impacted.
I explained: "Although this ranch is mine, the ranch is an industry owned by the town. I must also abide by the rules of the town and cannot do such dangerous behavior."
Seeing that Jay Yao was still a little unconvinced, I continued: "These are the rules that you must make when establishing a town in the future. You must abide by them."
