After giving Rourou a name, Ye Qiong was in a good mood, so he and Daidai went to the lumber base in the south.
Along the edge of the creek, the soldiers have built a two-story wooden building more than seven meters high. The edge of the small building is already filled with wood.
Because the demand for wood is relatively high these days, Ye Qiong has arranged a lot of second-line soldiers at the wood base.
There were probably more than thirty people in total, and it seemed quite lively at the moment. When the soldiers saw Ye Qiong and Dudai, they all said hello, and then continued working.
Although there are forest apes and green gardenia here to help watch, the defenses cannot be left behind. After all, there is still a long time in summer, and safety comes first.
So there are three soldiers here who specialize in fortifications. Their daily task is to constantly build fences and traps.
Even though there are only three people, with their physical fitness and efficiency, the defensive fortifications created are still very effective. In addition, over time, quantitative changes will inevitably lead to qualitative changes.
The three soldiers coordinated and helped each other, greatly improving work efficiency.
After Ye Qiong explored the timber base for a while, he discovered the figure of a forest ape in the forest.
So I walked in directly.
The ancient forest ape had seen Ye Qiong before. After seeing Ye Qiong coming, he jumped down from the tree trunk with some excitement.
Ye Qiong looked at the forest ape in front of him. In fact, he couldn't tell which one it was. However, if it was Kane, Ye Qiong would definitely be able to recognize it. After all, there was a very long line on Kane's neck.
Ye Qiong remembers the scars.
As for the forest ape in front of him, although he could not recognize it, Ye Qiong still waved a friendly hand as a greeting.
It seems that this buddy was probably arranged by Kane to guard the base here, and he has a good intention...
Ye Qiong remembered this friendship.
The friendship between humans and forest apes went through a long time ago, but now with the advent of the Ice Age, the old feud can be cleared up. This can be seen from the forest apes' ability to accept Qing Lie and Qing Zhi, their grandfather and grandson.
.
The forest ape in front of him is also about three meters tall, which is a bit shorter than Kane, but compared with Ye Qiong, he is like a giant.
The forest ape immediately greeted Ye Qiong excitedly, and even became a little nervous when facing Ye Qiong. After all, the arrow Ye Qiong shot a few days ago has become a legend among the forest apes.
general existence.
Almost every day, when those forest apes had nothing to do, they would run to the boulder and look at it for a long time.
I wonder what kind of power can shoot an arrow so deeply into a boulder.
And the man who shot the arrow into the boulder was standing in front of him, so the forest ape was a little excited when he saw Ye Qiong again.
After all, they can use longbows themselves, and they carry a giant black longbow on their backs.
Normal adult forest apes, because of their strong physical fitness, can easily reach more than two dans of bow power. Some outstanding ones, like their leader Kane, can reach more than three dans of power.
So in the eyes of this ancient forest ape, the human boy in front of him was at the level of a monster.
Possessing very terrifying strength.
Ye Qiong looked inside and found no other forest apes. It seemed that he had just arranged for one to come over, and there might be others busy with other things not far away.
In short, Ye Qiong is still very grateful to these peace-loving forest apes.
Although he looks a bit ugly, he is very kind in his heart, and even ape can't be judged by his appearance.
When the soldiers saw the forest ape, they didn't have any strange expressions. It seemed that the two parties were already familiar with each other. If they stayed in contact for a while, they might even sit down and have a barbecue together.
With the forest ape giving early warning to the soldiers, they can safely mine wood.
At present, the issue of environmental protection is far from being considered on Snow Planet. Although this issue will arise sooner or later, compared with the living environment and development, it can be put back first.
After all, Ye Qiong's goal is the Blue Mother Planet, and the resources on Snow Planet can be used first, as long as it does not affect the overall ecological balance of Snow Planet.
To take a step back, if the snow star can have some greenhouse effect and reduce the long winter of eighteen months, it would actually not be a bad thing.
Ye Qiong called Daidai over, took out some dried meat of the guardian beast from Daidai's backpack, and handed it to the forest ape in front of him.
The forest ape was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized that Ye Qiong was giving it a gift, so he hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, and took it from Ye Qiong's hand.
But I didn’t eat it…
Instead, it was stuffed into a large bag close to its body. The forest ape carried a total of two bags, one of which was a quiver, and the other was used to store other things. The dried meat was stuffed into this bag.
After Ye Qiong saw the movements of the forest ape, he felt that the IQ of the forest ape was really no less than that of humans. Even if it was lower, it was not far behind. It had a strong racial consciousness.
After waving to the forest ape, Ye Qiong took Daidai back to the tribe from the timber base in the south.
Currently, the busiest thing in the tribe is the caravan, which needs to sort out the idle supplies that the tribe needs in a short period of time, and then load them into vehicles and take them out.
Two days later, Yang Jianxin and Tang Li took the caravan and set foot on the distant road again.
Next up is the tribe's expedition team, which is almost ready now.
This trip is probably the tribe's first real trip after they settled down. Although in the past when the Ye Qiong tribe migrated, Ye Qiong would take some warriors with him to travel farther.
But compared with now, it's still not enough. This time Ye Qiong's plan is for one month.
It is now the beginning of summer, and in a month we will face the scorching heat of Snow Star. At that time, it is not suitable for being in the wild for a while, so we must return to the tribe before the scorching heat.
In the past few days, Ye Qiong had left Ronling in charge of the convenience of supplies for the long journey, while he and Tang Ying were still tinkering with the steam engine.
It is estimated that in a few months, the steam engine will be ready for the first test.
Although Ye Qiongting wanted to stay in the tribe to study steam engines, time waits for no one. The tribe must have a team to travel far away to collect supplies and hunt. The tribe of nearly 3,000 people needs to consume a lot of money during the long winter of 18 months.
The supplies and food are amazing.
Ye Qiong would not trust anyone to hand this task over, so he still had to lead the team in person.
