Steampunk City [Infrastructure]

How to train the snake mother to hunt, Luo Zhan really came up with a way.

Bind the bone with rattan and hang it on the tree pole, and then run in front of the snake mother against the tree pole.

However, Luo Zhan was so tired that he almost foamed at the mouth, and the snake mother was still waiting for the bone to fall into her mouth under the tree pole with her mouth wide open.

Luo Zhan: "..."

I couldn't run anymore, so I just stuck the tree pole on the ground. The wind on the mountain was so strong that it swayed the bones on it.

The habit of feeding for ten years will seem irreversible for a while.

Maybe the snake mother will take the initiative to bite when she is very hungry.

But he also knew that the snake mother was particularly able to endure hunger. He remembered that one winter, the tribe couldn't hunt any prey at all, and there were no unwanted bones.

He thought that the snake mother was going to starve to death, but the snake mother hung on the cave without moving, and passed the winter easily. During that winter, many people starved to death, but the snake mother seemed to be completely fine.

Perhaps, as long as a cold-blooded animal like the snake mother does not exercise, its consumption is surprisingly low.

The morning time was wasted like this, and Luo Ranlei's lips turned pale.

Back in the cave, there was not a drop of water in the clay pots for water storage.

After thinking about it, he walked towards the back mountain with the clay pot in his hands. Under a raised mountain wall, on a piece of lava like an upside-down bamboo shoot, drops of water were condensing and dripping down.

For them, it is very difficult to transport water, this is a great place. It is a rare treasure on the mountain. It was told to him by the old patriarch before. Even the rest of the tribe did not know it. It has always been the special water source of the patriarch. .

Just put a clay pot under it, and it can also receive a little water.

Now there are only him and the salmon left in the tribe. If it is just to solve the problem of thirst, there should be no problem.

It would be impossible to irrigate the arable land they planned to reclaim next, and he had to rely on his steam engine blueprint.

Of course, they had to reclaim a piece of arable land first.

Planting millet is not as simple as imagined.

Put clay jars under the dripping stones, and while waiting, Luo Zhan first walked around the village, and chose a place behind the mountain that would not be burned by a volcanic eruption.

The land was fairly large, and he decided to reclaim it as arable land.

The land is now full of ashes from the burning weeds, which are just used as fertilizer. It's not that the lava from the eruption came in and burned it, but the weeds on this land are connected to the outside and are spread by the fire. , as long as you do a good job of blocking.

Cultivating land required hoeing tools, and when the land was selected, Luo Ji searched for stones everywhere, and he planned to sharpen two hoes first.

To polish stone tools, you must first choose a suitable stone material, such as a stone gun, you have to choose a hard and long strip, otherwise you don’t know how long you will be able to grind a usable stone gun.

During the whole process, the salmon stayed close to each other. Ever since he ate the meat with Luo Zhan, he was determined to look after their little patriarch, but he couldn't be abandoned anymore. Even if others hunted the prey, they wouldn't share the meat with him. , he is well aware of this.

A child who is used to being abandoned is particularly vigilant and sensitive psychologically, and whoever is kind to him understands it very well.

Luo Zhan and Salmon moved a pile of selected stones back to the platform outside the cave. Luo Zhan also wanted to breed quickly, but he didn't dare to gamble with the seeds, so he had to do it step by step, step by step to be foolproof.

Before they can sharpen their hoes, they have to eat.

They now eat two meals a day, and they can't stand eating one meal at all, and they have a lot of physical work.

Today's lunch is a bit special, because Luo Lide is sure whether the rice peeled from the millet can really be eaten as a staple food.

Everything he knows about millet is through the computer, without any practice and confirmation.

Grabbed two handfuls of millet, went to fetch another piece of meat, and sneaked towards the place where the water was collected just now. They still have a foreigner in the clan area. Although they didn't see anyone today, they had to be careful.

Peel off the millet by hand, and sure enough, there is plump white rice inside.

A bonfire is set up, and clay pots filled with water are hung on the bonfire, and the peeled rice is sprinkled into the clay pot.

Luo Zhan was making porridge, and he was reluctant to cook it. He has been feeling sorry for these two handfuls of rice for a long time.

Salmon scratching at the messy hair, what are they doing?

The tribe's food is all grilled, and they don't even have the habit of boiling water, and they drink raw water, so salmon can't understand what Luo Zhan is doing now.

Luo Zhan didn't explain either, he would naturally know what he was doing when the porridge was ready.

Cook porridge on top of the fire, and barbecue on the bottom.

When the clay pot started to steam, the salmon twitched his nose. Why did he smell a particularly attractive fragrance? Although he had never smelled it before, it seemed to be the fragrance of food, which naturally aroused him. Like a glutton in the stomach.

Luo Zhan was also very surprised. Is this the fragrance of porridge mentioned in the computer?

The smell is really good. In fact, as long as it is the taste of food, it is the best for poor tribes.

After the porridge is cooked, although it is not thick, because he added more water, it is white and clean, and it looks very pleasing, unlike their barbecue, which is smoky and black.

After cooling down for a while, without a spoon, I could only drink from a clay pot.

Luo Zhan's eyes lit up when he took the first bite, and the fragrance of porridge filled his mouth, and the taste was even better than expected.

There is no need to add anything to the porridge made of rice. The original taste is very enjoyable.

Not to mention the salmon, it was many times more delicious than the bitter grass root he used to eat.

You take a sip and I drink it quickly.

Licking his lips, he was still nostalgic for the taste just now.

The point is, the stomach is actually very full, and the porridge made from two handfuls of rice is more than expected.

Their roti is about as good as it gets.

Luo Zhan said while eating, "The porridge just now is delicious."

The salmon's head is straight, and the weed seeds can be so fragrant.

Luo Zhan continued, "When we plow it out, we will be able to harvest more of this kind of grain. Even if we can't hunt prey, we won't be hungry anymore..."

Luo Zhan is weaving the most beautiful dream in the world for the salmon. Although the salmon doesn't understand what farming is, they understand the meaning of Luo Zhan's words that they don't have to go hungry anymore.

For people who have never had enough to eat, the temptation is unimaginable. Perhaps only people who are really in their current situation can empathize with them. Even if the result is unknown, it is enough to make people do everything for it. If it is an adult, maybe There are many doubts, but salmon is still a child.

The light in his eyes completely turned into a longing for the future.

After eating the meat, my stomach feels a bit full, this is the first time I feel this way.

Salmon liked this feeling so much that when they were grinding their hoes in the afternoon, the two of them were as energetic as if they were doing something earth-shattering.

But in the minds of Luo Zhan and Salmon, they are indeed doing great things, and nothing is more important than feeding them.

With anticipation and hope in their hearts, people's spirits will naturally be better. They look forward to the future in desperation, and their eyes are full of hope.

The hoes were actually good for sharpening, but the two of them were inexperienced. After three days of sharpening, their hands were covered with blisters, and they only managed to sharpen two hoes.

The polished hoe is embedded in the trunk of the arm, and the gap is nailed in with sharpened wooden blocks. After soaking in water, the wooden block expands, and the part of the hoe can be firmly fixed on the tree trunk.

The tree poles were cut by them secretly. The process was very tense, and they were afraid of encountering foreigners, so they had no choice.

On the backside of the mountain, two people bent over the hoes against the hoes, and hoeed the ground one by one. The arable land for planting millet was dug much deeper than ordinary land.

Every day, the two of them were so tired that they almost crawled back to the cave.

But looking at the cultivated land that has been reclaimed bit by bit, the two of them would giggle from time to time. This is their hope for survival. The feeling is completely different, the heart is sweet.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, the behavior of Luo Ji and his wife is very inexplicable.

For example negative.

Luo Zhan and Salmon secretly even grilled meat every day, which naturally attracted the attention of the manager.

He had never seen a person so poor that he could live such a happy life.

Even large tribes are struggling with unimaginable hardships every day, and it is so rare to see the bubbling beauty of Luo Zhan and Salmon every day.

Responsibility saw an attitude towards life that was different from this world.

Of course, he felt that living his life like this in the wilderness would not be far from the tribe's extinction.

He couldn't understand what Luo Zhan and the others were doing, so he didn't express anything.

Luo Zhan felt that the person in charge was quite strange, he went out early and returned late every day, and didn't know what he was doing.

Only when he was in a daze at night, he could feel that the other party was resting in the cave, and he was completely gone during the day, as if he didn't exist.

Of course, Luo Zhan was so busy every day that he fell asleep when he returned to the cave, and he didn't have time to care about his responsibilities.

Two people, living in the same cave, lived in harmony in a strange way.

However, Luo Zhan still saw some extra things brought back from the cave.

Among them is a plaque-shaped stone slab, which should be a fossil, and it is also a fossil from the ruins, because several square characters can be vaguely seen in the traces on it.

Others may not know it, but Luo Ji does.

"Northeast Underground Base".

The endless years, the erosion of time, except for those things hidden in the meteorite box, the things that belonged to that brilliant civilization by chance, should all look like this.

Luo Zhan was a little surprised. Did he go to the nearby ruins?

Leaving early and returning late just to do this?

Luo Zhan didn't know that the ruins he knew best represented the highest glory in the hadiths of the oldest tribes in the wilderness. Countless wise men of the tribes spent their entire lives trying to learn from these traces left behind It's impossible to get something.
