Chapter 179 The Beginning of the Pottery Age

PS: Let's float~~
==========
"Hey, Chu Xia, how many moons are there in the sky?"

"Two." Stare~~
"The watch looks at us like that. We mean how many moons are there in the sky 'now'?"

"No." After looking at the clear sky, Chu Xia continued to stare at Kong Huan in doubt.

"Huh? How is it possible!"

Thinking back to the past few days when he looked up at the moon, what Kong Huan saw seemed to be three moons, so he began to feel unconfident, is it really three moons?

When Pingshi was asked last time, although he replied that there were only two.But now, after a few more days, Kong Huan couldn't bear the doubts in his heart, and finally asked the second ape—Chu Xia, but he didn't expect the conclusion to be—nothing! = =
"Because it's daylight now? Normally you can't see it, Kong Huan, what about you?" Chu Xia's answer hit Kong Huan hard, OTZ
"Eh." Feeling the concern in the other party's eyes, Kong Huan felt a little ashamed, unexpectedly...

"No...it's nothing, you continue to work, let's take a rest."

"Meow, it's been too long to move around day and night, and I haven't noticed it in the middle of the morning, Sinai." Lying helplessly on the ground, Kong Huan raised his head to look at the clear sky, where there were already cloud jellyfish in the white clouds.

"These guys seem to have never seen any changes in them since they were discovered until now. They really have nothing to worry about. This height, even we need to spend a little effort to say it."

At this time, it has been No. 70 days since the illusory Dapingling lair. Looking back on the entire construction, today’s Pingshi lair basically has the prototype of a tribe in terms of hardware; and in terms of software, the four brigades and leaders have also been implemented. preliminary allocation.

During this time, Xiao Lingyun and Kong Huan (with two tails) were busy with the skill training of each team, while Chu Xia was still in charge of house construction. , she will happily cook a big pot of delicious food to reward everyone.Therefore, almost all the teams involved in the construction were bought off so easily, and swore to fully obey the orders of the overseer Priest Chu Xia, and continue to shine for the completion of the tribe.

"Okay, Ping Shi, come and try this pottery axe. This time, some new crafts have been added, so it should be a little bit better." Inserting the wooden stick into the wide ax head, Kong Huan tried to shake the heavy axe, and then This freshly baked pottery ax was handed over to Ping Shi, the captain of the first team as an experimenter, after countless failures.

"It won't be broken again," said Ping Shi, who had suffered several consecutive failures and even injured his arm by flying gravel, and was not as confident as he was at the beginning.

However, although he was skeptical about this, he still took the weapon that Konghuan handed over with his mind power. In the past few dozen days with Konghuan, most of the individuals in the lair with only more than 300 members have become accustomed to the seemingly destructive behavior of Konghuan. The strange ability is also gradually infected by the illusory affinity.

If at first it was because of the trust of the leader and the affinity of being the main consciousness that all the members of the flat-collar lair had to obey the Oneiroi, Konghuan, at this moment, they already liked this one that brought them a lot. Oneiroi of the good stuff, and chose to trust him.

And using pottery weapons to replace the bone tools of unstable origin is also the idea that has appeared in the past ten days.However, the weak structure of crude pottery obviously determines that it can only be in a subordinate position now, which makes Kong Huan very distressed. If he hadn't found a new way to use pottery to make several small weapons, he might have been like this It may not be possible to give up and directly cast a net to search for ore.

But after all, there are still some harvests in the past ten days. Although it seems that there is no coal in this period of time, charcoal can only be used instead. The temperature of the pottery kiln used as the fuel is better than that of firewood used before. Go up a lot.

Therefore, after dealing with the problem of toxic gases such as carbon monoxide from charcoal burning, some smaller pottery gadgets with low requirements on the overall stress structure have been released one after another.

【Pottery Knife—Characteristics: Sharp—Shape: Oval, Long Palm, Wide Small Arm, Thick Thumb—Durability: Occasionally sharpened, it can be used for dozens of days. 】

Its main purpose is to split and prepare leather. This is the first practical pottery processing tool. If you master the method, you can even split the flexible skin of Quack Ape to the second level.

Of course, no quack ape had the idea of ​​using it as a weapon, because with quack ape's own strength, these things existed like chicken ribs in battle, only a little better than the previous punches, at least they would not cause any damage. possible infection.

However, using it as an industrial processing tool can achieve very good results. In the past, quack apes who made leather could only tear it with their hands, or find suitable bones everywhere to cut it, but now they use pottery knives to use white on the whole piece of leather. The lines drawn by limestone or charcoal can be repeated several times to obtain the complete shape easily.Moreover, as many pottery knives as you want, you can let the pottery kiln fire as many knives. Of course, the number of deliberately troublesome ones is ignored.

Therefore, after the pottery knives were produced a few days ago, Kong Huan ordered two batches of hundreds of pieces to be fired at one time, and handed them over to the clothing and book making teams of the current tanning squadron. The pottery knives stored by the leather team are slowly being consumed, but the improvement in product output and quality is beyond doubt.Now for the tanning team, the biggest constraint is the lack of dinosaur skins, which makes them only practice with small animals that they occasionally catch.

[Pottery Spear—Features: Spikes—Appearance: Rhombus, Small Arms—Durability: As long as the brain doesn’t throw stones, it should be able to stab dozens of dinosaurs to death]

This is the weapon prepared by the illusion for the ordinary Quackape combat team. With the power of the Quackape, this kind of pottery spear can pierce almost all dinosaur skins below the black hand level in one blow.

And a good spearhead needs a good gun shaft. Therefore, a typical black long straight and tough tree branch is taken by Kong Huan. This kind of wood that needs three pottery knives to saw off the branches as thick as the female tentacles is chosen. Void is named [hardwood], and generally the relatively straight parts are one to two meters long, which can basically meet the needs.

Of course, its equipment obviously increases the consumption of pottery knives, and processing is also somewhat difficult, so since Kong Huan made the first one with more and more proficient power of thought, it has only been five days since Quack Ape made it. Three of them were bought, and all four of them were kept in stock by Konghuan.

From this point of view, it will obviously take some time for this processing team to mass-produce pottery spears, and to further equip a large number of quack apes. According to the plan of the empty fantasy, this kind of pottery spears and the pottery ax in the experiment will be used as ordinary weapons. The [Special Product] of the leader tribe, which is used to trade with the other four known tribes.

This can also be regarded as the beginning of the private ownership and initial commercial exchanges of the empty primitive tribes. Of course, the empty fantasy still needs to think of some products for the other four tribes.

[Pottery Axe—Characteristics: Heavy—Appearance: Double-sided Ax Shape, Long Small Arms, Wide Arms, Thick Small Arms—Durability: Cough cough, in the experiment...]

This is what Pingshi was holding in his hands at this time, what, it took more than ten days to gain such a small amount, let's be content, Tao Mao's success is considered luck.

Taking a closer look at the ax in his hand, Pingshi's initial nonchalant expression abated a little bit, because if he looked carefully, his left eye, although his eyesight had declined, could still see some light from the ax face and blade.

He carefully stroked the surface of the ax with his hand. Although it was still rough, it was several times smoother than the dozen or so axes before.

Turning his head to look at the illusory pottery kiln next to the pottery team, which was built with bricks and clay yesterday. Thoughtful.

He tried the weight of the ax which was different this time, and Pingshi raised his eyebrows slightly, and then, as usual, he walked to a big tree with an ax weighing at least a few hundred catties, and then pressed the ax according to the illusion. The way he said it, he slashed heavily on the tree trunk with an axe.

boom!
Sawdust splashed, among which were a few pieces of pottery.

"It didn't crack this time?" Pingshi looked at the ax in his hand unexpectedly, and when he was about to examine it carefully, he felt a pulling force coming from the axe. Pingshi let go decisively, because he knew that it was the dream god using it What [Mind Power] took out the ax from his hand.

Sure enough, the ax did not fall to the ground due to the gravitational force, but slowly drifted towards the void as if it had no weight.

Sensing the pottery ax in front of me with mental power, the internal structure was only slightly pulled this time, but not broken, which is considered an improvement. In terms of tightness, now the empty illusion can only achieve this level.But looking at the ax blade that was missing a few pieces, Kong Huan still felt a little frustrated.

"There is no problem with the main body, but the blade is too fragile."

"It's another failure. Okay, what should I do? I'll stay with the flat collar."

After finishing speaking, Kong Huan threw the pottery ax in his hand aside. It seems that the experimental improvement of this thing must continue, but Kong Huan is not in the mood for the time being.

"So flat collar, now your team is in charge of the warehouse. Although the emergence of cooking and the form of breakfast and dinner, the rationing system has not suffered any obvious rebound, but how much food is left?" This is the problem that Huanhuan needs to face now. .

"Oneiroi, according to calculations, there is still about 5000 yuan for the meat. Even if it is cooked with a large number of seeds collected a while ago, it can only last for about seven days. The time for the team to disperse and hunt is getting faster and faster." The longer..."

"So, it's time to organize a large-scale hunting?" Looking at the quack apes who have been busy recently, Kong Huan found a sliver of comfort from their contented faces.

Walking to the place where the four wooden spears were stored, he used his thoughts to take them out and float them behind him. Kong Huan ignored Lingyue and Chu Dian, who had been depressed recently, and walked towards the temple square that had been built for several days with a flat collar.

Stepping on the three-meter-wide road paved with mud bricks, Ping Ling couldn't hide his excitement when he saw the various houses that were rebuilt or completed along the way.

"Although I don't know the effect of this, it looks very beautiful. Is this really my old lair?"

Turning his head to look at Kong Huan beside him, the flat collar slightly stretched the four flying wings behind him.

Since he became the leader, he has always been at the forefront of every battle. If not, how could he have gained the position of leader and already has the number one strength in this lair.

But since the Oneiroi came, he himself has been a little slack.Moreover, because he needs to be dispatched by the high priest of Lingyun at any time to assist the transformation of the ethnic group, Pingling can only stay in the ethnic group recently. At first, resting and relaxing every day was very comfortable for him who was busy and tired, but after a long time The fighting genes in his body could no longer tolerate this kind of life, so Pingling began to apply to go hunting.

But until now, Oneiroi has not agreed to his request, and the high priest of Lingyun even said directly: "As a leader, you need to stay in the lair and command and supervise the overall operations of each brigade. Therefore, if it is not a large-scale event, the leader You can't even leave the nest. If you really can't sit still, come and play with me, hehe."

"..."

"Ah, it's been so many days, and I can finally go out for activities."

If you can sit on the leader, you have to be strong; but if you have a disagreement with the most powerful group of flying-wing quack apes like not long ago, you can still persist and be obeyed by the nest individuals. Such a flat-collar can't be a fool .

Therefore, from the illusory words and the current problem, he already knew that the Oneiroi must be organizing some kind of big hunting activity this time.

Of course, for the former flat-collars, the ethnic group has always been a group action, and there is no distinction between large and small actions. Since accepting the restructuring and carrying out the division of labor, the nest's outgoing troops have not exceeded one brigade at the same time.

And now facing the food problem, Oneiroi also said that it is necessary to organize a "large-scale" hunt. For the current flat-collar lair, what is a "large-scale hunt"?That must be to deal with those large groups of dinosaurs, or groups of over a hundred, or large groups of dinosaurs.

These are things that Pingling didn't want to touch, or didn't dare to touch before.But now with the support of Oneiroi, the flat collar can also happily go to push these attractive fruits.

If Kong Huan knew Ping Ling's trust in him, he might fall into an extremely complicated mood, "This kid trusts us more than us! It's prickly to say."

"Hey, Kong Huan, when will the priests be held? The temple is full of grass." Sitting on the steps of the temple, doing nothing, at this moment, he was thinking about the aura of gathering several squadron leaders together for training. , looked up and just saw Kong Huan walking towards here in the distance, his eyes lit up immediately, and then he greeted him with a distressed expression.

Since Xiao Lingyun's reputation here is not very good, after the completion of the temple, Kong Huan selected two teams to be managed by Xiao Lingyun, while other things were managed by Chu Xia, who had the best reputation.

Of these two teams, one of them learned herbal cultivation from Lingyun, and took care of several plants with medical effects brought from the Gashan tribe, namely [six-leaf clover], [wood flower], and [word-leaf grass] ], 【Ningxincao】.

Among them, six-leaf clover and wood flower are plants with certain hemostatic and healing effects, and wood flower is a vine plant growing on trees.

Word leaf grass is a kind of slightly dark grass that grows in the soil in the shade, but it can grow a cute and plump white with red flowers. If it is dried and made into powder, it will burn People produce weak hallucinations, which can effectively relieve pain during healing;
Ningxin Grass, as you can tell from the name, this grass is made into powder and placed in a pottery bowl to make incense, which can effectively make the inhaler calm down and relax.This good thing was found in the crevice of the stone after accidentally smelling this comfortable smell when it had a body. For this reason, he was bitten by a small animal, although he was not bitten by the small animal. , but it is enough to make the empty fantasy memory still fresh.

The other team learned the management of juvenile apes from Lingyun, because the second batch of buildings after the temple are the chief's house, the priest's house and the dormitory for the juveniles. In the dormitory.

However, in view of the strong demands of the mothers of these dozen babies, these dozen female quack apes will take turns to take care of these babies until they complete the two basic courses of [literature] and [arithmetic]. After that, these little guys should have grown to a certain age. degree, boy.

If it was before, they could also go out hunting with adult apes, but now there are so many things to learn, they are arranged to have to learn [hunting] taught by experienced quack apes. [Physical Exercise] and [Spiritual Perception] and other courses, until they can independently hunt animals of the same size, or are very talented in a certain aspect, or they are fully grown up before they can form a team.

Recently, Xiao Lingyun seems to be a bit lazy. The two tails of Kong Huan, Chu Xia and Kong Huan all agree that Ling Yun is a little homesick. She only roughly manages the two teams every day. After assigning tasks, she is always bored. Sitting on the temple and looking far away, it was extremely painful for Kong Huan to see this scene.

But when either Kong Huan or Chu Xia asked her, she just changed the topic, or she just denied her thoughts arrogantly.

At this time, seeing Lingyun approaching, Kong Huan smiled and patted her small head with thought force, and the voice came directly into the other party's mind: "Long grass, it's very good, it means close to nature."

"Hmph, I don't know who said that all the weeds in the house must be pulled out, pulled out, all pulled out!" While saying this, Ling Yun bent over and made a movement of pulling weeds in a very vivid way , which made the apes around who didn't know the truth smile kindly.

"That's right, little Lingyun, why don't you pull out these weeds?"

"Humph, I'm not in the mood." With a pout, she turned her head and exposed the back of her head to Kong Huan, Ling Yun walked towards the square bit by bit, and from the direction of Kong Huan's walking, she had already figured out where Kong Huan's destination was , so it can act on its own.

Another failure of Tao Ax made Kong Huan need to adjust his mood, and Ling Yun obviously became the goal now, but the two of them are just entertaining each other, so there is no need to worry.

"You, if you want to go back, just say it. I don't forbid you to go back and see those little guys if you have nothing to do. Do you want to go back? Do you really want to go back?"

"Ah! All the little guys are going to die! All of them are taller than me now, duh!"

As if substantial resentment spewed out of Lingyun's body, the lovely eyes also began to show signs of water storage, which made Chu Dian, who was staying behind Konghuan, and Lingyue, who had recovered a little bit, raise their heads, and the flat collar was even more decisive. He quickly dodged to the side, blocking his figure with trees.

"This disrespectful guy," the depressed belly talked about the flat neck movement he found in his perception, Kong Huan rubbed his dizzy head and leaned against Ling Yun, while soothing the other party's spirit, he lowered his body to the ground , and then turned Lingyun's little head to her body.

"You, take a closer look, am I shorter than you?"

Seeing Xiao Lingyun nodded, Kong Huan continued: "So, you don't have any need to be unhappy, think about it, at least there is someone who is shorter than me, isn't it? Besides, being short is not a big problem, you see Flat-collar lairs are all taller than us, but who is stronger than us and knows more than us?"

Such comforting words made Lingyun gradually calm down. She blinked her moist eyes, and the little Lolita burst into laughter instantly. She proudly stood beside Kong Huan, and compared her hands to the one who only reached her shoulders. Unreal, giggling laughter suddenly spread throughout the square.

"Hehe, Kong Huan is shorter than me." ╮(╯▽╰)╭

"Yes, yes." Looking at Lingyun helplessly and pityingly, her dependence on herself seemed to be doomed from the moment she broke out of the cocoon. There was no reason, no basis, but she couldn't separate her. I don't even want to separate.

"Hey, Kong Huan, you will always be with me." A slight sound wave vibrated Kong Huan's mental membrane. If it wasn't for Kong Huan's constant attention to Lingyun's brain fluctuations, he might not be able to hear these voices at all.

The pity in his heart increased greatly, Kong Huan stretched out his right hand covered with thought power and touched Ling Yun's little head, then pinched her little red face teasingly, until Ling Yun showed a dissatisfied expression, Kong Huan took back the sinful words The right hand, and in his own heart, seemed to have a glimmer of understanding.

"My connection with this world seems to be irreversible. Is this what you expected, 8051."

"Isn't it?" Lingyun, who didn't get an answer from Kong Huan, was a little nervous, and the water level that had just dropped rose again, bringing Kong Huan, who had been distracted, back to reality immediately.

"Yes! Yes! Of course, how could I abandon my lovely little Lingyun?"

"Well, there are also Chu Xia, Lingxue, Chu Jie..." Xiao Lingyun, who was wagging her tail excitedly, spoke out almost all the companions she knew one by one, making Kong Huan feel relieved It's kind of funny at the same time.

"What a good boy." Of course, in order to avoid Xiao Lingyun's revenge, this cannot be said, only fantasy.

At this moment, Kong Huan has decided, Xiao Lingyun, it is best to let her be happy like this.
