I'm fooling people in the wild
Chapter 50
The name of the limestone forest comes from the fact that there is a large area of gray rock in this forest, and the limestone land is in the center of the limestone forest.But because the limestone field is too wide, you can already see the limestone field without going to the center.
It was a mass of gray rock, at least as large as a football field at first glance.Push aside the trees that block the eyes and walk in, and that piece of rock is reflected in the eyes.The rocky areas are distributed in an irregular shape, and some low grasses also grow during the period.
Ling Xiao squatted down and tapped the stone under his feet vigorously, and smiled with satisfaction. The hardness is good, and the city wall built with this kind of stone must be very strong.
"Envoy, how about this kind of stone?" Zhan Hehao asked.
Ling Xiao smiled, "Very good."
Not only is it good, the hardness of this stone is already comparable to granite, no, it is even harder than granite.But just to be on the safe side, Ling Xiao patted Bai Liao's arm and said to him, "Bai Liao, punch this rock hard to see the effect."
Bai Liao: "..."
Bai Lio was silent for a second, but he still clenched his fists, squatted halfway, raised his fists and slammed it hard at the stone.There was only a bang, and White Fang hit the rock.To Ling Xiao's surprise, the stone was not damaged much, only some gravel on the surface.
This hardness is enough.
Ling Xiao turned his head to Zhan Hehao and said: "Tomorrow, let the soldiers come here to mine stones to build the city wall, um..." Ling Xiao glanced around, pointed to the place with mining traces and said, "Tomorrow, we will start from Mining started there."
"By the way, how long does it usually take you to mine this stone?" Generally speaking, the harder the stone, the more difficult it is to mine. Ling Xiao worried that it would take too much time to mine the stone, which would prolong the time for the city wall to be built, and they would have no time to prepare for it. Winter food.
Zhan Hehao thought for a while and said, "Mystery Envoy, this stone is very hard, but it only takes dozens of soldiers to mine it continuously, which is enough for us to use for a day. The soldiers are strong, so you don't have to worry."
OK, don't worry.
After looking at the stones, Ling Xiao estimated that the stones here were enough for them to build the city wall, and the group went back.On the way back, they were all talking about the manpower arrangements for the construction of the city wall tomorrow.
Ling Xiao arranged it like this. There are about 170 warriors in their own tribe. Excluding the elderly and children in the Shenniao tribe, there are about 250 warriors. When the city wall is built, people need to stay in the tribe and work The warriors cook meat and eat to guard the tribe, that is to say, there are about [-] people who can use it.
The territory of their tribe is to draw a circle. Ling Xiao calculated that the total length of the city wall is about 300 meters, and the city wall is built in sections every 600 meters. There are a total of ten points working together, which means There are 25 soldiers working at each point.
The 25 people can be divided in this way, leaving eight people to build the city wall, six people divided into three groups to transport stones one after another, seven people to mine stones in the limestone field, and the remaining four people are responsible for transporting asphalt and mixing asphalt concrete.
In this way, excluding the soldiers working in other fields, each group of soldiers mining in Shishan has seven people, and the mining speed of seven people can be enough for eight people to build the city wall.
Ling Xiao asked the soldiers to mine stone slabs that are two meters long, one meter wide, and half a meter thick. It is relatively easy to mine stone slabs of this level, and it is more convenient to build the city wall.Ling Xiao taught about trenches and trenches on the spot. They don't know meters, but they can understand the length by hand.
As for the warriors who needed to hunt at night, Ling Xiao arranged for the warriors who transported stones and asphalt to hunt, and the warriors who mined stones and built the city wall to rest.On the second day, the warriors transporting the stones were exchanged with the warriors of other teams, two by two, so that the other warriors would not be so tired all the time, and there would be no delay in building the city wall and hunting.
When Ling Xiao told his plan, Bai Liao thought for a while and nodded slightly in agreement, but Zhan Hehao was a little silent after hearing this.
After a while, Zhan Hehao said, "Envoy of God, there are enough warriors for mining stones, but the stones are very heavy, and there are only six soldiers, and they are constantly transporting stones, so they will be very tired. And you won't have the energy to hunt."
It was Ling Xiao's arrangement to build the city wall during the day and hunt at night, but if the soldiers were too tired, they couldn't hunt at all.Not only can't hunt, but it is also very likely to be injured during hunting, but Ling Xiao has a plan.
As soon as Zhan and Hao talked, before Ling Xiao could speak, Bai Liao patted them on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards a big tree, "Zhan, Hao, come here and I'll show you something. With this thing, transporting stones and asphalt is convenient and easy without so much effort."
Zhan Hehao was stunned for a second, followed behind Bai Liao, watching him break the big tree with his bare hands, and then Bai Liao pulled out the stone ax he always carried with him, aimed at the big tree and chopped it down.
White Fang was very strong, and he often chopped down trees. It didn't take long for a big tree to be cut into several sections, and then White Fang selected the thickest sections of the trunk and cut them into several thick planks. .
Before Zhan Hehao understood what Bai Liao meant, Ling Xiao walked over, holding a rope made of grass and rattan.Just now White Fang was chopping a tree while he was weaving a rope.By this time White Fang had finished chopping the wood, and the rope was ready.
"This……"
"Look first, this wooden plank is only for warriors in the tribe, and I only gave you the method of making it, trenches, trenches, you two remember, except for the trusted warriors in the tribe, the making of the planks The method must not be known to others, remember?"
Zhan and Hao still didn't understand, but when Bai Lio said this, they immediately nodded their heads to express their understanding.They also vaguely knew that Bai Liao and Ling Xiao really regarded them as fighters who fought together, and they also regarded this tribe as their own tribe to build, and they were teaching them something.
The heart of Zhan Hehao was relieved.
Next, they witnessed a scene that could be called a miracle.
White Fang used branches, grass and vines to tie the planks together, making a huge plank three meters long and two meters wide.Then, he found a few hard stones and cut them into round shapes, and then pierced the stones hard with a wooden stick, and the stones stuck on them.
Bai Lio turned the stone a few times, felt that it was not rough and could turn, and then continued to imitate the other wheels.The wooden plank was relatively wide, so White Fang made a total of eight rollers.The eight wheels are worn with wooden sticks, and the wooden sticks are tied under the planks.
White Fang placed a row at intervals, and when he finished, a wooden plank with eight rollers appeared on the ground.White Liao also got two ropes at the front of the plank to pull the cart, so in a short time, the plank of the Windy Grassland appeared again.
But Bai Lio kept it secret and did not make an upgraded version of the cart.
In the beginning, Bai Liao and Ling Xiao made the scooter that Bai Liao put in the cave. The day before he set out to rescue Ling Xiao, Bai Liao deliberately went out and destroyed the scooter so that no one else could see it.Therefore, Zhan Hehao had known Bai Liao for a long time, and had never seen a cart.
"Zhan, stand on the wooden plank." Bai Lio told Zhan to stand on the cart, and then he looked at Hao, and said, "Hao, go ahead and pull the cart to see how much effort it takes."
Zhan is a strong warrior, with muscles all over his body, he is [-] meters tall, and his weight is roughly estimated to be no less than [-] catties.Trench strength is great, one-handed strength is seven to eight hundred catties, and it usually takes a lot of effort to pull a strong man of that weight.But when the battle station goes to the trench on the cart to pull the cart and drive the battle, it doesn't take much effort.
Next, Ling Xiao and Bai Liao also stood up, and Hao didn't feel much.Then, Zhan also tried to pull it, and also felt much more relaxed.
Zhan Hehao immediately realized that the cart brought out by Bai Liao was definitely a magic weapon, a magic weapon that had never appeared in the entire Kamikaze Grassland!Is this what the envoys and warriors learned on the mountain?
They taught them such a convenient thing like this?
"How about it, do you still think that the soldiers transporting stones and asphalt will be very tired when you have a cart?" Ling Xiao got off the cart and asked Zhan Hehao with a smile.
If the soldiers would still be tired after using the scooter, Ling Xiao would doubt the physical strength of the human beings in this world.Zhanheyu shook his head again and again. If there were carts, the soldiers who transported stones and asphalt would not be tired.
Bai Liao also came over, and said to Zhan Hehao: "You have seen how this cart is made, and the rest of the carts will be finished by the two of you."
Zhan Hehao nodded, "Okay." They saw clearly how the cart was made, and it wasn't difficult.What matters is the idea, which no one has ever thought of before.
Ling Xiao smiled and asked, "Then do you think my arrangement is okay?"
What can we do with war and trenches?I can only keep nodding.
"Okay." Sure enough, the envoy had planned before acting.
The work of arranging people is over, and the rest is to continue working tomorrow.The four of them returned the same way, but Ling Xiao still had something in his heart, which was salt.The trenches and trenches, their necks looming in the moonlight, are really huge.They were already strong, but with a big neck, they looked even stronger, not only strong but also bulky, and the big neck really lived up to its reputation.
What Ling Xiao could think of, Bai Liao also thought of. He mainly remembered that Ling Xiao asked the aborigines here to find out if there was any salt.
Ling Xiao and Bai Liao looked at each other, they noticed that they didn't touch Zhan Hehao's wound, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "Zhan, Hao, I don't know when your big necks appeared."
Zhan Hehao's body shook slightly, Ling Xiao saw this, and hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, we didn't mean you are monsters. But when I was in Shenshan, I heard that if you eat salt, you need enough iodine. element, then it won't grow your neck."
Iodine, what is that?Something on the other side of the mountain?
Bai Liao's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't stop Ling Xiao.
Zhan and Hao looked at each other, and looked at Ling Xiao at the same time. The two-meter-tall man asked anxiously, "Really? Then the envoy, do you know how to get our big necks down from God?"
If there is a god, it can be cured.Just get the modern medicine here, and that's it.
But the key is, is there really a god in this world?
If there was a god, he would immediately ask God to bring him back to modern times.He is willing to be scolded when he goes back, his job is banned, and the project is stopped!
Unfortunately, no...
But even if there is no god, he will find a way to relieve their big neck symptoms.
Ling Xiao didn't study medicine, but he vaguely knew that the main reason for the big necks was insufficient iodine intake. If these soldiers had enough iodine intake, although the big necks could not disappear, it could prevent their necks from continuing to grow.
Ling Xiao observed for two days and found that the necks of these fighters were indeed faintly growing.
But Ling Xiao also discovered a strange symptom. In modern times, iodine deficiency will not only lead to big necks, but also accompanied by loss of appetite, weakness, fatigue, physical decline, etc. Soldiers in this world have other things besides enlarged necks. None of the symptoms.
Should it be said that his physique is the same as Superman's but different?Then, after supplementing the iodine element, these fighters will disappear even if there is no other treatment?
Ling Xiao didn't speak, Zhan Hehao was in a hurry, and asked quickly: "God envoy, can't you?"
Hearing the voice, Ling Xiao immediately returned to his senses. He didn't finish his sentence, but said: "I'm not sure whether the big neck will disappear, but the method I came up with must be able to alleviate the symptoms of the big neck to a certain extent. But Before that, I have to ask why you guys have big necks?"
"Didn't you eat salt? God said that salt probably can provide the iodine element we need." Ling Xiao said calmly.
Although Bai Liao didn't know what the iodine element was, after Ling Xiao said so, he followed up and said, "What the envoy said is correct. He said that there is that kind of thing in salt, and that's what it is, unless you don't eat salt. .”
Ling Xiao: "..."
Ling Xiao's expression was wrong, Bai Liao turned his head to look at Ling Xiao, and silently asked him if he was wrong.
Ling Xiao was silent for a second and shook his head slightly. In fact, he was about to cry.If the warriors in this forest didn't eat salt, but kept drinking animal blood to replenish their salt, then the chances of getting a big neck would be reduced.Because generally speaking, the iodine element contained in animal blood can meet the physical needs of soldiers.
Only when they eat unprocessed coarse salt, which contains relatively little iodine, will it lead to the occurrence of big necks.
Fortunately, Zhan Hehao didn't understand these things at all, so what he said next was to be honored by Bai Liao.
After Bai Liao suspected that they had no salt to eat, they immediately said: "No! Angel, leader, we have salt in the forest. There is a huge pit in the limestone forest, and there is a lot of salt in the pit. We are all there If we want to eat salt, our tribe can only get it there. After we have salt, we don’t drink animal blood anymore.”
Zhan Hehao hurriedly explained, fearing that Ling Xiao and Bai Liao would dislike the lack of salt here and leave the tribe.
There is salt, but eating coarse salt and not drinking animal blood, so is there a lack of iodine?
"Is there any salt?" Ling Xiao was overjoyed. According to Zhan Hehao's description, it was a salt lake, but... "Is there no one guarding the salt?"
Salt is very important, but according to the description of the trenches and trenches, it seems that they can get salt whenever they need it, and no tribe has occupied it there.
Zhan Hehao shook his head, "Envoy of God, although there is a lot of salt, it is not tasty and bitter. It is the land of God, and the salt is given by the gods. No tribe dares to occupy it. It is said that a long time ago, a tribe took that The Blue Lagoon was occupied, and the salt was exchanged for meat, bones, and animal skins, but it didn’t take long for the soldiers there to lose sight and hear very little.”
Blue Lagoon?The salt is in the lake, what's the situation?
Something flashed through Ling Xiao's mind, but he couldn't catch it.
Concerned about the war, he was afraid that the envoy would take people to occupy it, so he continued: "An envoy, don't go and occupy it in our tribe. Although you are an envoy and you are protected by a divine bird, it is the territory of the god. , I heard from our big witch before, that a long, long, long time ago, they also saw that the god was angry, and the blood-like liquid gushed out from the ground and splashed out. The red liquid could kill people and kill everything .”
The blood spurted from the ground, if you guessed right, it's magma, right?
"Envoy of God, Zhan is right. It is because God was angry that no grass and trees grew on the blood-splashed ground, and it took a long, long time before the forest reappeared." Hearing this, Hao added cautiously. , "Apostle of God, we can go there to get salt, but we cannot occupy it."
As Zhan and Hao talked, he finally caught the flashing thing in Ling Xiao's mind.But thinking of the news, instead of feeling happy, Ling Xiao was frightened into a cold sweat.
Because this forest is not an ordinary forest, but a forest erupted by a volcano!
Not only that, Ling Xiao also remembered the hard rock that looked like granite just now. When he was on the earth, some experts verified that the granite was formed due to crustal movement and magma.
Not only that, but salt lakes have also appeared in extinct volcanoes on the earth.
Ling Xiao once read many geographical magazines and architectural magazines in order to understand the styles of different buildings around the world. He saw that there is a group of people living around extinct volcanoes on the earth who are fishing for salt in the salt lakes in extinct volcanoes.
Because that is the place where the volcano erupted, the color of the salt is also different from ordinary salt, it is blue, and the salt lake is also called the Blue Lake.
Thinking of something, Ling Xiao turned his head and looked towards the center of the forest suddenly. It was too dark to see clearly, so Ling Xiao hurried forward a few steps, and finally started running because he thought he was walking too slowly.Ling Xiao ran for a long time, and finally the center of the forest faintly appeared in front of his eyes.
There are three slightly undulating mountains, peaks with round mouths, and such familiar depressions, then...that's right, it's a crater.
How did he not notice it before.
Is that volcano an extinct volcano or an active volcano?If it is an extinct volcano, you can still live here. Maybe you can set up a volcano tourist route when the tribe develops, but if it is an active volcano, isn't living here just looking for death?
No matter what the volcano is, it is impossible to tell the exact difference between an extinct volcano and an active volcano in modern times. It is absolutely unsafe for them to establish a tribe here.No wonder he found that the soil in the forest was very fertile, and the soil in front of the Shenniao tribe was even more fertile. Could the land nourished by volcanic ash not be fertile?
Why is his luck so bad?Didn't he just want to find a place to develop?Why is this not working?
He obviously just wanted to find out why the soldiers here had big necks, but he didn't expect such a shocking discovery.And he hasn't figured out why the soldiers here have big necks due to iodine deficiency, because the iodine content in the volcanic rock soil is very high, and the volcanic eruption brought a lot of trace elements, that is to say, the content of the plants and animals here is very high. Not low in iodine.
So why do they have big necks?
Is it because this is a volcanic crater, containing too many trace elements, such as calcium, magnesium, fluorine, etc., entered their bodies, which prevented the body from absorbing iodine, which led to the occurrence of big necks.
Another possibility is excessive intake of iodine.
Ling Xiao didn't study chemistry, let alone medicine, but he probably knew that the big neck was caused by a lack of iodine or an excessive intake of iodine.So since this is the case, no matter what the reason is, he will start from the iodine element.
But at this time Ling Xiao didn't have the time to continue thinking about why they had big necks. He only knew that the place he was now was actually a volcano!
His scalp was numb for a while, wishing he could grow wings and go back to the tribe to tell the soldiers to get up quickly, pack up their things and run away.
Ling Xiao thought about taking action, but before he left, someone grabbed his arm, and then he heard Bai Liao panting slightly and asking, "Ling Xiao, why are you running?"
Just now Zhan Hehao was talking well, and he tried his best to persuade Ling Xiao not to think about the salt lake. Who would have thought that the two were talking, and suddenly Ling Xiao turned around and ran away.It was so fast that the two of them didn't realize it, and Bai Liao, who had been paying attention to Ling Xiao, realized it first and ran after Ling Xiao.
It took a long time to catch up with Ling Xiao.
Next, they saw Ling Xiao running for a long distance in a hurry, then stood still, staring at the center of the gray rock forest, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, which made them anxious.
Not only Bai Liao, Zhan Hehao also panted heavily, and asked Ling Xiao nervously, "Envoy, did something happen?"
right!Even if something happened, it was still a big deal!
Ling Xiao's face was pale, his head was covered with sweat, and his eyes were full of panic.The hand held by White Fang was covered with sweat and wet.
This kind of Ling Xiao cannot be seen by others. He is an envoy of God, so people should not think that he is weak.
At the first moment, Bai Lio thought of this.
Ling Xiao's feeling for Bai Liao has always been very optimistic, and he refused to admit defeat easily, even when he was treated as a slave, he did not give up.At this time, Ling Xiao made Bai Liao feel a little fragile, and Bai Liao didn't know how to describe it. Anyway, he didn't want to see Ling Xiao have such an expression.
Bai Lio blocked Ling Xiao, preventing Zhan Hehao from seeing Ling Xiao's anomaly at this time. He said, "The envoy found something, you wait here now, I will go and talk with the envoy before returning."
After speaking, Bai Liao dragged Ling Xiao to the other side of the forest.He rubbed Ling Xiao's head, held Ling Xiao's face with both hands, met him with horrified eyes, and said in a low voice: "Ling Xiao, don't panic, tell me what you found first. Solve it together. No matter what, we are all together, don't panic, okay?"
Bai Lio's voice was deep and soothing, completely different from his usual harsh tone.
At that time Ling Xiao didn't feel the change in Bai Liao's tone, but in retrospect, the literary way of saying is that the voice flowed into his heart like running water, taking away all the panic and horror in his heart.At that time, Bai Liao felt like a big mountain, which made people very reliable.
After hearing Bai Liao's words, Ling Xiao miraculously calmed down.He took a deep breath to stabilize his mood, and told White Fang everything he had just discovered.
At the end, Ling Xiao grabbed Bai Liao's arm and said solemnly: "Bai Liao, if we establish a tribe here and the volcano erupts again, then our tribe will be finished."
"Really?"
"real."
Bai Liao wasn't flustered, Ling Xiao wondered if he wasn't worried.
Bai Liao was really not worried. He thought for a while and said to Ling Xiao: "Ling Xiao, I don't know what the volcano you are talking about is, but you have to think about it. The tribes in the gray rock forest have lived here for a long time. I haven’t encountered the kind of volcanic eruption you mentioned, and you said that the interval between volcanic eruptions is relatively long, so since there was an eruption a long time ago, the next eruption should be a long, long time later.”
Ling Xiao didn't understand what Bai Liao wanted to express, but he was right.
White Fang: "After a long, long time, we will be dead, and the tribe may be attacked and occupied by other tribes, and maybe it won't be in the limestone forest. Do you think we should care about whether the volcano will erupt by then?"
Bai Liao is different from Ling Xiao, he is a complete egoist, even if there is a tribe now, he still thinks of being responsible for the tribe now.As for the tribe in the long future, that tribe might not be their tribe, so White Fang would not let the current tribe give up such a good piece of land for the tribe in the future, he would not do it.
Ling Xiao: "..."
Although what Bai Liao said was very cold-blooded, from another perspective, why did he still think it made sense.
Bai Liao: "So Ling Xiao, let's leave the volcano alone, and we don't have time to take the soldiers to other places to find a suitable place to build a tribe at this time."
Ling Xiao: "..."
Ling Xiao suppressed his precarious three views, only thinking about himself.But he can't let it go, and many, many people may die under the volcanic eruption in the future.But White Fang was right, they had no time to go elsewhere to find a place to establish a tribe.
Winter is coming in more than 50 days, and they are all going out now, and they are also seeking their own death.
The anxiety in Ling Xiao's heart was completely disappeared by Bai Liao's words. He grabbed Bai Liao's hand and said calmly: "Bai Liao, we will not move the tribe, but we have to see if the volcano is dead or not. The volcano is still an active volcano. If it is an active volcano, then we need to abandon this place after this harsh winter and find another place to build a tribe. If it is an extinct volcano, then we can live here all the time, and even use the resources around the volcano. resources to build tribes."
The resources around the volcano are very rich, and many prosperous cities in modern times are around the volcano.
Ling Xiao was much calmer this time, and what he said was well-founded, and not long after nightfall, they came out after dinner, and there was still some time before the sun came out, and they had time to come back after taking a look at the crater.
Upon hearing this, Bai Lio nodded his head in agreement.
After making a decision, Bai Liao told Hao and Hao that he and Ling Xiao were going to confirm something, which was given by God, and only the two of them could go. Hearing this, Zhan and Hao didn't doubt Bai Liao's words. Because Ling Xiao's expression just now was too frightening.
The envoy must have discovered something about the gods to be so nervous.
So, Zhan Hehao returned to the tribe, and Ling Xiao and Bai Liao dared to go to the crater overnight to investigate whether the volcano was dead or alive.
Ling Xiao's speed was slow, and his physical strength couldn't keep up with Bai Liao. The two of them were in a hurry, so Bai Liao carried Ling Xiao on his back and ran away.Bai Liao's muscles bulged, his blood flowed, and the temperature of Ling Xiao's body also rose. Muscles rubbed against each other. Ling Xiao should have felt embarrassed, but suddenly he didn't feel embarrassed.
I don't know if it was because Bai Liao was running too fast or because Ling Xiao was worried about the volcano, Ling Xiao only felt his heart beating like a drum, beating non-stop.
Soon, Bai Liao and Ling Xiao arrived at the crater.At night, there is no one around, it is quiet.Bai Liao put Ling Xiao down, and the two stood at the crater and looked down.
I saw a blue lake at the bottom of the sunken pit.The lake looks bluer under the moonlight.Ling Xiao knew that it should be the salt lake in the trench.It has been a long time since the volcano erupted, and low grass has grown around it.
Ling Xiao and Bai Liao didn't dare to delay, and hurried down the crater.Ling Xiao asked Bai Liao to look around for any gaps and other unusual places.
Ling Xiao didn't want to do anything else, but wanted to see if there was a way to find a gap, or a cave, so that people could go in and observe the situation underground.Because to judge whether a volcano is an extinct volcano or an active volcano on the spot, the most intuitive thing is to see if there is a magma activity system under the volcano. If there is, then it is alive, if not, then it is dead.
But Ling Xiao and Bai Liao searched around for a long time but couldn't find it, so they stopped around the salt lake.
Bai Liao: "Ling Xiao, don't worry, think about it again, is there any other way to distinguish between an extinct volcano and an active volcano?"
Ling Xiao nodded, calmed down and thought about it carefully.After a long time, he opened his eyes and said with joy: "There is really a way, and that is to feel if the ground around you is trembling."
If there is a magma activity system underground, there will be slight tremors on the surface.On Earth, detecting whether the surface is trembling requires specialized tools, but for the almost superhuman native humans of this world, it does not.
After hearing Ling Xiao's description, Bai Liao lay down on the ground with his ears pressed to the ground, feeling calm.Ling Xiao waited anxiously, and after a long time, Bai Liao finally got up.
"Ling Xiao, I didn't feel any tremors." Bai Liao said.
Ling Xiao was still worried, "Really?"
Seeing that Ling Xiao was so worried, Bai Liao checked the entire crater again and again, and only stopped when the moon was high, and said with certainty, "No."
"Ling Xiao, the fighters are very sensitive and can hear any movement. If there is really something underground, then it is impossible for the fighters in the gray rock forest to choose to establish a tribe here."
"Big witches all have the ability to predict danger. Since they live here, they are fine. Don't scare yourself."
Bai Liao spoke with certainty, with a serious expression, Ling Xiao looked into Bai Liao's eyes for a long time, and finally believed in Bai Liao's judgment.
And this world really can't be compared with the earth. They lived here well and never left, maybe they really have the ability to distinguish threats.
He gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely, and said, "Okay, then we won't move! If it's really not safe here, we will develop the tribe slowly when we develop the tribe, so that we can reduce a lot of losses by then."
Relieved, Ling Xiao found that he was covered in sweat and his heart was beating unreasonably fast.It took so much time to finally confirm that this place is safe, but Ling Xiao felt unwilling.
He suddenly turned his head to look at the salt lake, and when he walked over, he hugged a large lump of salt crystals.
Not only that, Ling Xiao also asked Bai Liao to make a stone jar, and asked him to find some remaining volcanic ash at the bottom of the pit and put it in.
Now that you're here, you have to take something back, or you've wasted so much effort!Still on tenterhooks all night!
Although there is also a harvest, that is, they don't have to go to other places to find salt, and they have salt-cured meat to prepare for the cold winter, but they just feel unwilling.
"I know what salt can do, but what's the use of this ash?" Bai Lio didn't understand Ling Xiao's approach, but he still filled a large vat of volcanic ash.
After hearing this, Ling Xiao snorted twice angrily, "I'm going to refine the salt, add a little more to it, and add iodine, which should prevent the necks of warriors in the tribe from getting bigger. And the volcanic ash , I also have other uses. I want to use volcanic ash, limestone, and seawater to make very strong concrete and build our houses. If there is no seawater, it will not work. Bringing volcanic ash back can also fertilize our land and plant a lot of crops and food. "
After finishing speaking, Ling Xiao left bitterly.With these volcanic ash, he will become the number one planting expert in the wilderness!
After returning, the two of them didn't disturb the others, and Zhan Hehao also prevaricated with a simple explanation.After sleeping, Ling Xiao actually reclaimed a piece of land the next day, mixed volcanic ash with water, and poured it on.
He also squatted there and planted some weird things.
"What is this?" White Fang walked over and asked.
Ling Xiao sighed and said: "This is the condiment. I found it when I was in the Windy Grassland, and I thought about planting it on the mountain, but we left, these things have been in my animal skin pocket .Now that it has stabilized and there is fertile land, I will plant these and eat them directly in the future.”
Too much time has passed, and the chili has dried up, so he just doesn't need to dry it in the sun.I can also test whether the pepper seeds can germinate, and the ginger also germinated. Ling Xiao inserted the ginger into the soil. Feel free to put pepper seeds in the soil and expect it to germinate.
Bai Liao couldn't understand what Ling Xiao was cooking, so he gave him the meat he ate in the morning.After eating, the two went to the city wall together to start building the city wall. Before they set off, Ling Xiao seemed to have remembered something, turned around and returned to the tent, and took out a piece of leather and branches.
Bai Liao didn't know what Ling Xiao used the bark and branches for, but when he was building the city wall, he found that Ling Xiao had inserted a branch on the ground and made a mark on the shadow of the branch, and then sat on the side Hold the animal skin to write and draw.
What is he doing?
Bai Liao wanted to ask Ling Xiao what he was doing, but found Yin running over, said a few words to Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao got up and left.
Ling Xiao followed Yin not for anything else, but for salt.The salt obtained from the salt lake is coarse salt, which is worse than the coarse salt crystallized in the sea. Volcanic crater eruptions contain a lot of trace elements, some trace elements are good for the human body, and some trace elements are harmful to the human body.
People here either have less iodine or have more iodine, so they can only try slowly by supplementing iodine and reducing iodine intake.
Iodine deficiency, there are few plants with high iodine content in the land, only the plants in the sea have relatively high iodine content, so now Ling Xiao can only temporarily purify the coarse salt into edible simple refined salt, and then let people find it Plants rich in iodine came back to supplement the soldiers with iodine.As for more iodine, eat less salt.
In the morning, Ling Xiao ordered Yin to dissolve the coarse salt into the water, and then heat it under the stone jar to simply purify the coarse salt.After a long time, Yin purified the salt and came to Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao followed Yin back and saw his finished product.
Seeing the light blue particles around the stone jar, he smiled satisfied with Yin.
"Silver, keep doing it. After you purify the coarse salt again, I will reward you with a delicious meal tonight."
Ling Xiao thought that the child should be happy, but Yin shook his head fiercely, and said firmly: "God envoy, Zhan Hehao told me that we have long necks because of eating this kind of coarse salt. I, Apa, have always I want to cure the big neck, and now I finally have a solution. Angel, you can let me deal with the coarse salt, let our big neck relieve, and do what I want to do, I am very grateful to you, you don’t have to Give me any reward!"
Silly boy, why are you so stubborn.
Ling Xiao touched Yin's head and asked him to continue cooking salt.Although Yin said he didn't want a reward, Ling Xiao still couldn't let the child do white work. He decided to make something for Yin as a reward at night.
Next, Ling Xiao returned to the city wall. He glanced at the shadow of the branches on the ground, drew another mark on it, and continued to write and draw on the animal skin.
After finally catching someone back, Bai Liao stopped what he was doing and let the others continue, walked to Ling Xiao's side, saw the symbols on his animal skin and asked, "Ling Xiao, what are you doing? "
Yo, noticed it.
Ling Xiao put down his leather bag, rubbed his sore shoulders, and said to Bai Liao, "Actually, I was calculating how long it would take us to build the city wall."
"calculate?"
Ling Xiao nodded, "Yes, Bai Liao, come over and look at me and tell you that you are the leader of the tribe, and you should learn how to calculate in the future."
Hearing this, Bai Lio felt his scalp go numb for no reason.There was a chill rising from the vest, but looking at Ling Xiao's face, he sat down beside Ling Xiao obediently and listened to him.
Ling Xiao didn't talk nonsense, he pointed to the branch on the ground and started, "First of all, you have to understand what the shadow of this branch means. The change of the shadow means that time is moving, and I use the time this shadow travels to calculate your time. We can build as long and as high a wall as we need to calculate how many walls we can build in a day."
It was a mass of gray rock, at least as large as a football field at first glance.Push aside the trees that block the eyes and walk in, and that piece of rock is reflected in the eyes.The rocky areas are distributed in an irregular shape, and some low grasses also grow during the period.
Ling Xiao squatted down and tapped the stone under his feet vigorously, and smiled with satisfaction. The hardness is good, and the city wall built with this kind of stone must be very strong.
"Envoy, how about this kind of stone?" Zhan Hehao asked.
Ling Xiao smiled, "Very good."
Not only is it good, the hardness of this stone is already comparable to granite, no, it is even harder than granite.But just to be on the safe side, Ling Xiao patted Bai Liao's arm and said to him, "Bai Liao, punch this rock hard to see the effect."
Bai Liao: "..."
Bai Lio was silent for a second, but he still clenched his fists, squatted halfway, raised his fists and slammed it hard at the stone.There was only a bang, and White Fang hit the rock.To Ling Xiao's surprise, the stone was not damaged much, only some gravel on the surface.
This hardness is enough.
Ling Xiao turned his head to Zhan Hehao and said: "Tomorrow, let the soldiers come here to mine stones to build the city wall, um..." Ling Xiao glanced around, pointed to the place with mining traces and said, "Tomorrow, we will start from Mining started there."
"By the way, how long does it usually take you to mine this stone?" Generally speaking, the harder the stone, the more difficult it is to mine. Ling Xiao worried that it would take too much time to mine the stone, which would prolong the time for the city wall to be built, and they would have no time to prepare for it. Winter food.
Zhan Hehao thought for a while and said, "Mystery Envoy, this stone is very hard, but it only takes dozens of soldiers to mine it continuously, which is enough for us to use for a day. The soldiers are strong, so you don't have to worry."
OK, don't worry.
After looking at the stones, Ling Xiao estimated that the stones here were enough for them to build the city wall, and the group went back.On the way back, they were all talking about the manpower arrangements for the construction of the city wall tomorrow.
Ling Xiao arranged it like this. There are about 170 warriors in their own tribe. Excluding the elderly and children in the Shenniao tribe, there are about 250 warriors. When the city wall is built, people need to stay in the tribe and work The warriors cook meat and eat to guard the tribe, that is to say, there are about [-] people who can use it.
The territory of their tribe is to draw a circle. Ling Xiao calculated that the total length of the city wall is about 300 meters, and the city wall is built in sections every 600 meters. There are a total of ten points working together, which means There are 25 soldiers working at each point.
The 25 people can be divided in this way, leaving eight people to build the city wall, six people divided into three groups to transport stones one after another, seven people to mine stones in the limestone field, and the remaining four people are responsible for transporting asphalt and mixing asphalt concrete.
In this way, excluding the soldiers working in other fields, each group of soldiers mining in Shishan has seven people, and the mining speed of seven people can be enough for eight people to build the city wall.
Ling Xiao asked the soldiers to mine stone slabs that are two meters long, one meter wide, and half a meter thick. It is relatively easy to mine stone slabs of this level, and it is more convenient to build the city wall.Ling Xiao taught about trenches and trenches on the spot. They don't know meters, but they can understand the length by hand.
As for the warriors who needed to hunt at night, Ling Xiao arranged for the warriors who transported stones and asphalt to hunt, and the warriors who mined stones and built the city wall to rest.On the second day, the warriors transporting the stones were exchanged with the warriors of other teams, two by two, so that the other warriors would not be so tired all the time, and there would be no delay in building the city wall and hunting.
When Ling Xiao told his plan, Bai Liao thought for a while and nodded slightly in agreement, but Zhan Hehao was a little silent after hearing this.
After a while, Zhan Hehao said, "Envoy of God, there are enough warriors for mining stones, but the stones are very heavy, and there are only six soldiers, and they are constantly transporting stones, so they will be very tired. And you won't have the energy to hunt."
It was Ling Xiao's arrangement to build the city wall during the day and hunt at night, but if the soldiers were too tired, they couldn't hunt at all.Not only can't hunt, but it is also very likely to be injured during hunting, but Ling Xiao has a plan.
As soon as Zhan and Hao talked, before Ling Xiao could speak, Bai Liao patted them on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards a big tree, "Zhan, Hao, come here and I'll show you something. With this thing, transporting stones and asphalt is convenient and easy without so much effort."
Zhan Hehao was stunned for a second, followed behind Bai Liao, watching him break the big tree with his bare hands, and then Bai Liao pulled out the stone ax he always carried with him, aimed at the big tree and chopped it down.
White Fang was very strong, and he often chopped down trees. It didn't take long for a big tree to be cut into several sections, and then White Fang selected the thickest sections of the trunk and cut them into several thick planks. .
Before Zhan Hehao understood what Bai Liao meant, Ling Xiao walked over, holding a rope made of grass and rattan.Just now White Fang was chopping a tree while he was weaving a rope.By this time White Fang had finished chopping the wood, and the rope was ready.
"This……"
"Look first, this wooden plank is only for warriors in the tribe, and I only gave you the method of making it, trenches, trenches, you two remember, except for the trusted warriors in the tribe, the making of the planks The method must not be known to others, remember?"
Zhan and Hao still didn't understand, but when Bai Lio said this, they immediately nodded their heads to express their understanding.They also vaguely knew that Bai Liao and Ling Xiao really regarded them as fighters who fought together, and they also regarded this tribe as their own tribe to build, and they were teaching them something.
The heart of Zhan Hehao was relieved.
Next, they witnessed a scene that could be called a miracle.
White Fang used branches, grass and vines to tie the planks together, making a huge plank three meters long and two meters wide.Then, he found a few hard stones and cut them into round shapes, and then pierced the stones hard with a wooden stick, and the stones stuck on them.
Bai Lio turned the stone a few times, felt that it was not rough and could turn, and then continued to imitate the other wheels.The wooden plank was relatively wide, so White Fang made a total of eight rollers.The eight wheels are worn with wooden sticks, and the wooden sticks are tied under the planks.
White Fang placed a row at intervals, and when he finished, a wooden plank with eight rollers appeared on the ground.White Liao also got two ropes at the front of the plank to pull the cart, so in a short time, the plank of the Windy Grassland appeared again.
But Bai Lio kept it secret and did not make an upgraded version of the cart.
In the beginning, Bai Liao and Ling Xiao made the scooter that Bai Liao put in the cave. The day before he set out to rescue Ling Xiao, Bai Liao deliberately went out and destroyed the scooter so that no one else could see it.Therefore, Zhan Hehao had known Bai Liao for a long time, and had never seen a cart.
"Zhan, stand on the wooden plank." Bai Lio told Zhan to stand on the cart, and then he looked at Hao, and said, "Hao, go ahead and pull the cart to see how much effort it takes."
Zhan is a strong warrior, with muscles all over his body, he is [-] meters tall, and his weight is roughly estimated to be no less than [-] catties.Trench strength is great, one-handed strength is seven to eight hundred catties, and it usually takes a lot of effort to pull a strong man of that weight.But when the battle station goes to the trench on the cart to pull the cart and drive the battle, it doesn't take much effort.
Next, Ling Xiao and Bai Liao also stood up, and Hao didn't feel much.Then, Zhan also tried to pull it, and also felt much more relaxed.
Zhan Hehao immediately realized that the cart brought out by Bai Liao was definitely a magic weapon, a magic weapon that had never appeared in the entire Kamikaze Grassland!Is this what the envoys and warriors learned on the mountain?
They taught them such a convenient thing like this?
"How about it, do you still think that the soldiers transporting stones and asphalt will be very tired when you have a cart?" Ling Xiao got off the cart and asked Zhan Hehao with a smile.
If the soldiers would still be tired after using the scooter, Ling Xiao would doubt the physical strength of the human beings in this world.Zhanheyu shook his head again and again. If there were carts, the soldiers who transported stones and asphalt would not be tired.
Bai Liao also came over, and said to Zhan Hehao: "You have seen how this cart is made, and the rest of the carts will be finished by the two of you."
Zhan Hehao nodded, "Okay." They saw clearly how the cart was made, and it wasn't difficult.What matters is the idea, which no one has ever thought of before.
Ling Xiao smiled and asked, "Then do you think my arrangement is okay?"
What can we do with war and trenches?I can only keep nodding.
"Okay." Sure enough, the envoy had planned before acting.
The work of arranging people is over, and the rest is to continue working tomorrow.The four of them returned the same way, but Ling Xiao still had something in his heart, which was salt.The trenches and trenches, their necks looming in the moonlight, are really huge.They were already strong, but with a big neck, they looked even stronger, not only strong but also bulky, and the big neck really lived up to its reputation.
What Ling Xiao could think of, Bai Liao also thought of. He mainly remembered that Ling Xiao asked the aborigines here to find out if there was any salt.
Ling Xiao and Bai Liao looked at each other, they noticed that they didn't touch Zhan Hehao's wound, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "Zhan, Hao, I don't know when your big necks appeared."
Zhan Hehao's body shook slightly, Ling Xiao saw this, and hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, we didn't mean you are monsters. But when I was in Shenshan, I heard that if you eat salt, you need enough iodine. element, then it won't grow your neck."
Iodine, what is that?Something on the other side of the mountain?
Bai Liao's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't stop Ling Xiao.
Zhan and Hao looked at each other, and looked at Ling Xiao at the same time. The two-meter-tall man asked anxiously, "Really? Then the envoy, do you know how to get our big necks down from God?"
If there is a god, it can be cured.Just get the modern medicine here, and that's it.
But the key is, is there really a god in this world?
If there was a god, he would immediately ask God to bring him back to modern times.He is willing to be scolded when he goes back, his job is banned, and the project is stopped!
Unfortunately, no...
But even if there is no god, he will find a way to relieve their big neck symptoms.
Ling Xiao didn't study medicine, but he vaguely knew that the main reason for the big necks was insufficient iodine intake. If these soldiers had enough iodine intake, although the big necks could not disappear, it could prevent their necks from continuing to grow.
Ling Xiao observed for two days and found that the necks of these fighters were indeed faintly growing.
But Ling Xiao also discovered a strange symptom. In modern times, iodine deficiency will not only lead to big necks, but also accompanied by loss of appetite, weakness, fatigue, physical decline, etc. Soldiers in this world have other things besides enlarged necks. None of the symptoms.
Should it be said that his physique is the same as Superman's but different?Then, after supplementing the iodine element, these fighters will disappear even if there is no other treatment?
Ling Xiao didn't speak, Zhan Hehao was in a hurry, and asked quickly: "God envoy, can't you?"
Hearing the voice, Ling Xiao immediately returned to his senses. He didn't finish his sentence, but said: "I'm not sure whether the big neck will disappear, but the method I came up with must be able to alleviate the symptoms of the big neck to a certain extent. But Before that, I have to ask why you guys have big necks?"
"Didn't you eat salt? God said that salt probably can provide the iodine element we need." Ling Xiao said calmly.
Although Bai Liao didn't know what the iodine element was, after Ling Xiao said so, he followed up and said, "What the envoy said is correct. He said that there is that kind of thing in salt, and that's what it is, unless you don't eat salt. .”
Ling Xiao: "..."
Ling Xiao's expression was wrong, Bai Liao turned his head to look at Ling Xiao, and silently asked him if he was wrong.
Ling Xiao was silent for a second and shook his head slightly. In fact, he was about to cry.If the warriors in this forest didn't eat salt, but kept drinking animal blood to replenish their salt, then the chances of getting a big neck would be reduced.Because generally speaking, the iodine element contained in animal blood can meet the physical needs of soldiers.
Only when they eat unprocessed coarse salt, which contains relatively little iodine, will it lead to the occurrence of big necks.
Fortunately, Zhan Hehao didn't understand these things at all, so what he said next was to be honored by Bai Liao.
After Bai Liao suspected that they had no salt to eat, they immediately said: "No! Angel, leader, we have salt in the forest. There is a huge pit in the limestone forest, and there is a lot of salt in the pit. We are all there If we want to eat salt, our tribe can only get it there. After we have salt, we don’t drink animal blood anymore.”
Zhan Hehao hurriedly explained, fearing that Ling Xiao and Bai Liao would dislike the lack of salt here and leave the tribe.
There is salt, but eating coarse salt and not drinking animal blood, so is there a lack of iodine?
"Is there any salt?" Ling Xiao was overjoyed. According to Zhan Hehao's description, it was a salt lake, but... "Is there no one guarding the salt?"
Salt is very important, but according to the description of the trenches and trenches, it seems that they can get salt whenever they need it, and no tribe has occupied it there.
Zhan Hehao shook his head, "Envoy of God, although there is a lot of salt, it is not tasty and bitter. It is the land of God, and the salt is given by the gods. No tribe dares to occupy it. It is said that a long time ago, a tribe took that The Blue Lagoon was occupied, and the salt was exchanged for meat, bones, and animal skins, but it didn’t take long for the soldiers there to lose sight and hear very little.”
Blue Lagoon?The salt is in the lake, what's the situation?
Something flashed through Ling Xiao's mind, but he couldn't catch it.
Concerned about the war, he was afraid that the envoy would take people to occupy it, so he continued: "An envoy, don't go and occupy it in our tribe. Although you are an envoy and you are protected by a divine bird, it is the territory of the god. , I heard from our big witch before, that a long, long, long time ago, they also saw that the god was angry, and the blood-like liquid gushed out from the ground and splashed out. The red liquid could kill people and kill everything .”
The blood spurted from the ground, if you guessed right, it's magma, right?
"Envoy of God, Zhan is right. It is because God was angry that no grass and trees grew on the blood-splashed ground, and it took a long, long time before the forest reappeared." Hearing this, Hao added cautiously. , "Apostle of God, we can go there to get salt, but we cannot occupy it."
As Zhan and Hao talked, he finally caught the flashing thing in Ling Xiao's mind.But thinking of the news, instead of feeling happy, Ling Xiao was frightened into a cold sweat.
Because this forest is not an ordinary forest, but a forest erupted by a volcano!
Not only that, Ling Xiao also remembered the hard rock that looked like granite just now. When he was on the earth, some experts verified that the granite was formed due to crustal movement and magma.
Not only that, but salt lakes have also appeared in extinct volcanoes on the earth.
Ling Xiao once read many geographical magazines and architectural magazines in order to understand the styles of different buildings around the world. He saw that there is a group of people living around extinct volcanoes on the earth who are fishing for salt in the salt lakes in extinct volcanoes.
Because that is the place where the volcano erupted, the color of the salt is also different from ordinary salt, it is blue, and the salt lake is also called the Blue Lake.
Thinking of something, Ling Xiao turned his head and looked towards the center of the forest suddenly. It was too dark to see clearly, so Ling Xiao hurried forward a few steps, and finally started running because he thought he was walking too slowly.Ling Xiao ran for a long time, and finally the center of the forest faintly appeared in front of his eyes.
There are three slightly undulating mountains, peaks with round mouths, and such familiar depressions, then...that's right, it's a crater.
How did he not notice it before.
Is that volcano an extinct volcano or an active volcano?If it is an extinct volcano, you can still live here. Maybe you can set up a volcano tourist route when the tribe develops, but if it is an active volcano, isn't living here just looking for death?
No matter what the volcano is, it is impossible to tell the exact difference between an extinct volcano and an active volcano in modern times. It is absolutely unsafe for them to establish a tribe here.No wonder he found that the soil in the forest was very fertile, and the soil in front of the Shenniao tribe was even more fertile. Could the land nourished by volcanic ash not be fertile?
Why is his luck so bad?Didn't he just want to find a place to develop?Why is this not working?
He obviously just wanted to find out why the soldiers here had big necks, but he didn't expect such a shocking discovery.And he hasn't figured out why the soldiers here have big necks due to iodine deficiency, because the iodine content in the volcanic rock soil is very high, and the volcanic eruption brought a lot of trace elements, that is to say, the content of the plants and animals here is very high. Not low in iodine.
So why do they have big necks?
Is it because this is a volcanic crater, containing too many trace elements, such as calcium, magnesium, fluorine, etc., entered their bodies, which prevented the body from absorbing iodine, which led to the occurrence of big necks.
Another possibility is excessive intake of iodine.
Ling Xiao didn't study chemistry, let alone medicine, but he probably knew that the big neck was caused by a lack of iodine or an excessive intake of iodine.So since this is the case, no matter what the reason is, he will start from the iodine element.
But at this time Ling Xiao didn't have the time to continue thinking about why they had big necks. He only knew that the place he was now was actually a volcano!
His scalp was numb for a while, wishing he could grow wings and go back to the tribe to tell the soldiers to get up quickly, pack up their things and run away.
Ling Xiao thought about taking action, but before he left, someone grabbed his arm, and then he heard Bai Liao panting slightly and asking, "Ling Xiao, why are you running?"
Just now Zhan Hehao was talking well, and he tried his best to persuade Ling Xiao not to think about the salt lake. Who would have thought that the two were talking, and suddenly Ling Xiao turned around and ran away.It was so fast that the two of them didn't realize it, and Bai Liao, who had been paying attention to Ling Xiao, realized it first and ran after Ling Xiao.
It took a long time to catch up with Ling Xiao.
Next, they saw Ling Xiao running for a long distance in a hurry, then stood still, staring at the center of the gray rock forest, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, which made them anxious.
Not only Bai Liao, Zhan Hehao also panted heavily, and asked Ling Xiao nervously, "Envoy, did something happen?"
right!Even if something happened, it was still a big deal!
Ling Xiao's face was pale, his head was covered with sweat, and his eyes were full of panic.The hand held by White Fang was covered with sweat and wet.
This kind of Ling Xiao cannot be seen by others. He is an envoy of God, so people should not think that he is weak.
At the first moment, Bai Lio thought of this.
Ling Xiao's feeling for Bai Liao has always been very optimistic, and he refused to admit defeat easily, even when he was treated as a slave, he did not give up.At this time, Ling Xiao made Bai Liao feel a little fragile, and Bai Liao didn't know how to describe it. Anyway, he didn't want to see Ling Xiao have such an expression.
Bai Lio blocked Ling Xiao, preventing Zhan Hehao from seeing Ling Xiao's anomaly at this time. He said, "The envoy found something, you wait here now, I will go and talk with the envoy before returning."
After speaking, Bai Liao dragged Ling Xiao to the other side of the forest.He rubbed Ling Xiao's head, held Ling Xiao's face with both hands, met him with horrified eyes, and said in a low voice: "Ling Xiao, don't panic, tell me what you found first. Solve it together. No matter what, we are all together, don't panic, okay?"
Bai Lio's voice was deep and soothing, completely different from his usual harsh tone.
At that time Ling Xiao didn't feel the change in Bai Liao's tone, but in retrospect, the literary way of saying is that the voice flowed into his heart like running water, taking away all the panic and horror in his heart.At that time, Bai Liao felt like a big mountain, which made people very reliable.
After hearing Bai Liao's words, Ling Xiao miraculously calmed down.He took a deep breath to stabilize his mood, and told White Fang everything he had just discovered.
At the end, Ling Xiao grabbed Bai Liao's arm and said solemnly: "Bai Liao, if we establish a tribe here and the volcano erupts again, then our tribe will be finished."
"Really?"
"real."
Bai Liao wasn't flustered, Ling Xiao wondered if he wasn't worried.
Bai Liao was really not worried. He thought for a while and said to Ling Xiao: "Ling Xiao, I don't know what the volcano you are talking about is, but you have to think about it. The tribes in the gray rock forest have lived here for a long time. I haven’t encountered the kind of volcanic eruption you mentioned, and you said that the interval between volcanic eruptions is relatively long, so since there was an eruption a long time ago, the next eruption should be a long, long time later.”
Ling Xiao didn't understand what Bai Liao wanted to express, but he was right.
White Fang: "After a long, long time, we will be dead, and the tribe may be attacked and occupied by other tribes, and maybe it won't be in the limestone forest. Do you think we should care about whether the volcano will erupt by then?"
Bai Liao is different from Ling Xiao, he is a complete egoist, even if there is a tribe now, he still thinks of being responsible for the tribe now.As for the tribe in the long future, that tribe might not be their tribe, so White Fang would not let the current tribe give up such a good piece of land for the tribe in the future, he would not do it.
Ling Xiao: "..."
Although what Bai Liao said was very cold-blooded, from another perspective, why did he still think it made sense.
Bai Liao: "So Ling Xiao, let's leave the volcano alone, and we don't have time to take the soldiers to other places to find a suitable place to build a tribe at this time."
Ling Xiao: "..."
Ling Xiao suppressed his precarious three views, only thinking about himself.But he can't let it go, and many, many people may die under the volcanic eruption in the future.But White Fang was right, they had no time to go elsewhere to find a place to establish a tribe.
Winter is coming in more than 50 days, and they are all going out now, and they are also seeking their own death.
The anxiety in Ling Xiao's heart was completely disappeared by Bai Liao's words. He grabbed Bai Liao's hand and said calmly: "Bai Liao, we will not move the tribe, but we have to see if the volcano is dead or not. The volcano is still an active volcano. If it is an active volcano, then we need to abandon this place after this harsh winter and find another place to build a tribe. If it is an extinct volcano, then we can live here all the time, and even use the resources around the volcano. resources to build tribes."
The resources around the volcano are very rich, and many prosperous cities in modern times are around the volcano.
Ling Xiao was much calmer this time, and what he said was well-founded, and not long after nightfall, they came out after dinner, and there was still some time before the sun came out, and they had time to come back after taking a look at the crater.
Upon hearing this, Bai Lio nodded his head in agreement.
After making a decision, Bai Liao told Hao and Hao that he and Ling Xiao were going to confirm something, which was given by God, and only the two of them could go. Hearing this, Zhan and Hao didn't doubt Bai Liao's words. Because Ling Xiao's expression just now was too frightening.
The envoy must have discovered something about the gods to be so nervous.
So, Zhan Hehao returned to the tribe, and Ling Xiao and Bai Liao dared to go to the crater overnight to investigate whether the volcano was dead or alive.
Ling Xiao's speed was slow, and his physical strength couldn't keep up with Bai Liao. The two of them were in a hurry, so Bai Liao carried Ling Xiao on his back and ran away.Bai Liao's muscles bulged, his blood flowed, and the temperature of Ling Xiao's body also rose. Muscles rubbed against each other. Ling Xiao should have felt embarrassed, but suddenly he didn't feel embarrassed.
I don't know if it was because Bai Liao was running too fast or because Ling Xiao was worried about the volcano, Ling Xiao only felt his heart beating like a drum, beating non-stop.
Soon, Bai Liao and Ling Xiao arrived at the crater.At night, there is no one around, it is quiet.Bai Liao put Ling Xiao down, and the two stood at the crater and looked down.
I saw a blue lake at the bottom of the sunken pit.The lake looks bluer under the moonlight.Ling Xiao knew that it should be the salt lake in the trench.It has been a long time since the volcano erupted, and low grass has grown around it.
Ling Xiao and Bai Liao didn't dare to delay, and hurried down the crater.Ling Xiao asked Bai Liao to look around for any gaps and other unusual places.
Ling Xiao didn't want to do anything else, but wanted to see if there was a way to find a gap, or a cave, so that people could go in and observe the situation underground.Because to judge whether a volcano is an extinct volcano or an active volcano on the spot, the most intuitive thing is to see if there is a magma activity system under the volcano. If there is, then it is alive, if not, then it is dead.
But Ling Xiao and Bai Liao searched around for a long time but couldn't find it, so they stopped around the salt lake.
Bai Liao: "Ling Xiao, don't worry, think about it again, is there any other way to distinguish between an extinct volcano and an active volcano?"
Ling Xiao nodded, calmed down and thought about it carefully.After a long time, he opened his eyes and said with joy: "There is really a way, and that is to feel if the ground around you is trembling."
If there is a magma activity system underground, there will be slight tremors on the surface.On Earth, detecting whether the surface is trembling requires specialized tools, but for the almost superhuman native humans of this world, it does not.
After hearing Ling Xiao's description, Bai Liao lay down on the ground with his ears pressed to the ground, feeling calm.Ling Xiao waited anxiously, and after a long time, Bai Liao finally got up.
"Ling Xiao, I didn't feel any tremors." Bai Liao said.
Ling Xiao was still worried, "Really?"
Seeing that Ling Xiao was so worried, Bai Liao checked the entire crater again and again, and only stopped when the moon was high, and said with certainty, "No."
"Ling Xiao, the fighters are very sensitive and can hear any movement. If there is really something underground, then it is impossible for the fighters in the gray rock forest to choose to establish a tribe here."
"Big witches all have the ability to predict danger. Since they live here, they are fine. Don't scare yourself."
Bai Liao spoke with certainty, with a serious expression, Ling Xiao looked into Bai Liao's eyes for a long time, and finally believed in Bai Liao's judgment.
And this world really can't be compared with the earth. They lived here well and never left, maybe they really have the ability to distinguish threats.
He gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely, and said, "Okay, then we won't move! If it's really not safe here, we will develop the tribe slowly when we develop the tribe, so that we can reduce a lot of losses by then."
Relieved, Ling Xiao found that he was covered in sweat and his heart was beating unreasonably fast.It took so much time to finally confirm that this place is safe, but Ling Xiao felt unwilling.
He suddenly turned his head to look at the salt lake, and when he walked over, he hugged a large lump of salt crystals.
Not only that, Ling Xiao also asked Bai Liao to make a stone jar, and asked him to find some remaining volcanic ash at the bottom of the pit and put it in.
Now that you're here, you have to take something back, or you've wasted so much effort!Still on tenterhooks all night!
Although there is also a harvest, that is, they don't have to go to other places to find salt, and they have salt-cured meat to prepare for the cold winter, but they just feel unwilling.
"I know what salt can do, but what's the use of this ash?" Bai Lio didn't understand Ling Xiao's approach, but he still filled a large vat of volcanic ash.
After hearing this, Ling Xiao snorted twice angrily, "I'm going to refine the salt, add a little more to it, and add iodine, which should prevent the necks of warriors in the tribe from getting bigger. And the volcanic ash , I also have other uses. I want to use volcanic ash, limestone, and seawater to make very strong concrete and build our houses. If there is no seawater, it will not work. Bringing volcanic ash back can also fertilize our land and plant a lot of crops and food. "
After finishing speaking, Ling Xiao left bitterly.With these volcanic ash, he will become the number one planting expert in the wilderness!
After returning, the two of them didn't disturb the others, and Zhan Hehao also prevaricated with a simple explanation.After sleeping, Ling Xiao actually reclaimed a piece of land the next day, mixed volcanic ash with water, and poured it on.
He also squatted there and planted some weird things.
"What is this?" White Fang walked over and asked.
Ling Xiao sighed and said: "This is the condiment. I found it when I was in the Windy Grassland, and I thought about planting it on the mountain, but we left, these things have been in my animal skin pocket .Now that it has stabilized and there is fertile land, I will plant these and eat them directly in the future.”
Too much time has passed, and the chili has dried up, so he just doesn't need to dry it in the sun.I can also test whether the pepper seeds can germinate, and the ginger also germinated. Ling Xiao inserted the ginger into the soil. Feel free to put pepper seeds in the soil and expect it to germinate.
Bai Liao couldn't understand what Ling Xiao was cooking, so he gave him the meat he ate in the morning.After eating, the two went to the city wall together to start building the city wall. Before they set off, Ling Xiao seemed to have remembered something, turned around and returned to the tent, and took out a piece of leather and branches.
Bai Liao didn't know what Ling Xiao used the bark and branches for, but when he was building the city wall, he found that Ling Xiao had inserted a branch on the ground and made a mark on the shadow of the branch, and then sat on the side Hold the animal skin to write and draw.
What is he doing?
Bai Liao wanted to ask Ling Xiao what he was doing, but found Yin running over, said a few words to Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao got up and left.
Ling Xiao followed Yin not for anything else, but for salt.The salt obtained from the salt lake is coarse salt, which is worse than the coarse salt crystallized in the sea. Volcanic crater eruptions contain a lot of trace elements, some trace elements are good for the human body, and some trace elements are harmful to the human body.
People here either have less iodine or have more iodine, so they can only try slowly by supplementing iodine and reducing iodine intake.
Iodine deficiency, there are few plants with high iodine content in the land, only the plants in the sea have relatively high iodine content, so now Ling Xiao can only temporarily purify the coarse salt into edible simple refined salt, and then let people find it Plants rich in iodine came back to supplement the soldiers with iodine.As for more iodine, eat less salt.
In the morning, Ling Xiao ordered Yin to dissolve the coarse salt into the water, and then heat it under the stone jar to simply purify the coarse salt.After a long time, Yin purified the salt and came to Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao followed Yin back and saw his finished product.
Seeing the light blue particles around the stone jar, he smiled satisfied with Yin.
"Silver, keep doing it. After you purify the coarse salt again, I will reward you with a delicious meal tonight."
Ling Xiao thought that the child should be happy, but Yin shook his head fiercely, and said firmly: "God envoy, Zhan Hehao told me that we have long necks because of eating this kind of coarse salt. I, Apa, have always I want to cure the big neck, and now I finally have a solution. Angel, you can let me deal with the coarse salt, let our big neck relieve, and do what I want to do, I am very grateful to you, you don’t have to Give me any reward!"
Silly boy, why are you so stubborn.
Ling Xiao touched Yin's head and asked him to continue cooking salt.Although Yin said he didn't want a reward, Ling Xiao still couldn't let the child do white work. He decided to make something for Yin as a reward at night.
Next, Ling Xiao returned to the city wall. He glanced at the shadow of the branches on the ground, drew another mark on it, and continued to write and draw on the animal skin.
After finally catching someone back, Bai Liao stopped what he was doing and let the others continue, walked to Ling Xiao's side, saw the symbols on his animal skin and asked, "Ling Xiao, what are you doing? "
Yo, noticed it.
Ling Xiao put down his leather bag, rubbed his sore shoulders, and said to Bai Liao, "Actually, I was calculating how long it would take us to build the city wall."
"calculate?"
Ling Xiao nodded, "Yes, Bai Liao, come over and look at me and tell you that you are the leader of the tribe, and you should learn how to calculate in the future."
Hearing this, Bai Lio felt his scalp go numb for no reason.There was a chill rising from the vest, but looking at Ling Xiao's face, he sat down beside Ling Xiao obediently and listened to him.
Ling Xiao didn't talk nonsense, he pointed to the branch on the ground and started, "First of all, you have to understand what the shadow of this branch means. The change of the shadow means that time is moving, and I use the time this shadow travels to calculate your time. We can build as long and as high a wall as we need to calculate how many walls we can build in a day."
