I became a planet

Chapter 151 Reasons for War

If Guo Sen is somewhat dissatisfied with the civilization of this dwarf race, the invention and application of the hammer must be the first to bear the brunt.

Completely different from all other intelligent creatures, dwarves have completely abandoned long-distance spears, swords and the like, and chose hammers as their weapons.

In fact, to be honest, this is not difficult to understand.

Their height determines that they cannot use stone spears or iron spears nearly two or three meters long, and the same is true for swords and the like.

Think about it, if they charge like the lizardmen with small knives, small guns and small swords that are similar in proportion to their stature, they will definitely be suppressed by the opponent's long spears and big knives. off.

As for the hammer, it can be used for close-range attacks, or it can be used as a long-range attack weapon and thrown directly on top of the enemy's head, which is actually quite practical.

The extremely developed muscles of the dwarves can ensure that they can throw these hammers to a distance of 60 meters, which will have a strong deterrent and blow to the enemy.

however……

How about inventing a bow and arrow?No matter how bad it is to make short spears and daggers that fit the figure!

There are obviously more choices for throwing weapons.

As a long-distance attack weapon, the bow and arrow is the most buggy existence in this primitive era. It has a long range and good lethality. It is better than the hammers everywhere, right?
But seeing that everyone on the city wall was covered with hammers, Guo Sen really didn't know how to complain.

Well, you use a hammer for smelting, you use a hammer for mining, and you use a hammer for fighting.

hammer hammer hammer...

Guo Sen decided that if they still used hammers in a few hundred years, they could just call them sledgehammers in the future.

The name is Mike Hammer, Sky Hammer, Hammer Nas Hammer Star...

Or Zhang Xiaochui, Wang Da...

Ok.

Guo Sen didn't want to continue complaining.

Whether it is the group of rock dwellers above the castle in front of them, or the haters who are about to attack here, the weapons in their hands are hammers.

He felt that if he had to influence and guide their civilization, making a new weapon and teaching them would be a good entry point.

"Great mountain god! Please bless and protect us!"

"Great mountain god! Please bless us and defeat those abandoned people!"

"Great mountain god! Please protect us and let this place return to peace!"

At this time, there was a sound of kneeling above the castle, followed by the sound of prayers.

God of the hill...

shit.

Guo Sen suddenly remembered.

300 years ago, didn't these guys call themselves the "God of the Hill" just because they made a stone doll and taught them how to make transportation tools, which made them completely fall into obsessive worship and worship.

And that stone statue, thrown into the jungle by himself, has become the new god of the black-haired apes, a "great god".

Guo Sen looked at the group of people on the city wall, they just kept prostrating, rubbing their palms together, and there was no similar statue in front of them.

And in the huge castle, nearly five or six thousand dwarves knelt on the ground and kept rubbing their hands, and they were also chanting words, extremely pious.

There was also nothing in front of them.

Ok?
Why not recreate something similar?

Just like the White Wolf Clan, wouldn't it be enough to carve a ten-meter-high statue on the stone wall?

I believe that this group of dwarves who can carve and build castles on mountains will definitely be able to make an almost identical stone statue.

They also have this ability.

However, the gang didn't do that.

Strange.

Without a spiritual possession, this ancient worship is only passed on by word of mouth?
Guo Sen said he couldn't understand.

Even like the Birdman tribe, they all use egg-like stones, waterfalls, and boulders as clones of "gods" to perform various priestly or kneeling procedures.

Had the dwarves forgotten what the hill god they worshiped looked like?
Or is there another reason?

However, leaving this point aside, he found that the level of civilization of the dwarves was not just building castles, making strong armor and helmets.

Guo Sen noticed that these rock dwellers seemed to have acquired some knowledge of "seasoning" like other civilizations.

Specifically, salt.

In their warehouse, in addition to the other party's considerable amount of dried animal meat and storable fruits and roots, there are also many rooms dedicated to storing salt.

Those columnar fuzzy translucent crystalline fragments are undoubtedly "rock salt".

He has seen this thing in the tribes of the goatmen and the tribes of the birdmen, but their stock seems to be much worse than that of the dwarves.

And these dwarves seem to be quite satisfied with this mouthful. Almost every piece of their jerky is covered with a large amount of crushed salt.

Heavy taste...

Guo Sen really didn't expect that there were guys with more taste than goatmen.

Think of those dwarves who used gems to exchange rock salt with goats, didn't they?
Guo Sen felt that the genes of these dwarves seemed to have a strong anticipation of "taste".

There are no goatmen in this mine. The lucky dwarves, after discovering the rock salt, were out of control.

However, their method of marinating animal meat is more durable than the pure jerky eaten by the haters.

Salt can fully analyze the water in the meat, which increases the shelf life, and of course it will not grow moldy and hairy in a short period of time and deteriorate.

Meat that has been stored for a longer period of time, as a reserve grain, is more likely to play a very important role in the face of some natural disasters or wars.

These rock salts were probably accidentally discovered by the dwarves when they were mining ore, but at this time, they have become a necessity for their survival.

Guo Sen feels that the existence of this rock salt is the thing that can best distinguish the haters from these rock dwellers.

He even guessed that the reason why the haters came to attack Su Yanzhe was because of these rock salts, right?

Guo Sen thought of the strange word "Theo" that came to the mind of the hater leader. Could it be that he was referring to salt?

There seems to be precedent for this on Earth.

Spice Wars.

A kind of spice has actually become an important driving force leading the era of great voyages, which has caused extremely major changes in the entire world structure, and objectively, it has also promoted the great development of technology, culture, and science in the world.

Guo Sen also imagined that in the future on his planet, there would be a "Great Discovery Age" similar to the competition for spices.

If the haters are really attacking the rock dweller for the sake of salt, then it means that for the first time, a war for a certain "seasoning" was born on his sphere.
