Prehistoric Survival Records

Burning bricks is the old business of the Jiufang Tribe. Although the place is changed, the surrounding environment is not very familiar, but the grassland is flat and endless, and there is nothing special to be familiar with. Let the orcs in the tribe Spread your feet and run around, look at the nearby woods, small slopes, rivers, vegetation, and understand the basic landform features.

Rieg found a large piece of animal skin, and used charcoal sticks to plan construction facilities on the animal skin.

Although he didn't study architecture in his previous life, he has seen a lot, and he still has basic planning skills. What's more, his goal now is to build a batch of solid bungalows in this backward prehistoric period, without building small high-rise buildings with floors. It is unique enough to achieve a uniform, standardized and beautiful appearance, and then intersperse some basic living facilities appropriately.

It’s not that Rieger doesn’t want to create some complex buildings. The main reason is that this house is built for orcs. A good product manager must pay attention to user needs. It doesn't fit the free-spirited nature of these orcs.

For example, the huts don’t need to be covered. The orcs are used to digging random holes in the vast land. Huh, yes, it’s free and clean. If a toilet is specially built for them to defecate at a fixed point, don’t say whether they will Feel restrained, in this age without underground piping system, stench is unavoidable, see old-fashioned dry toilet in rural areas.If you really did that, wouldn't you install a stinky stinky gun in front of your house, and you would have to find someone to salvage it from time to time? Damn, Rieg shook the image in his mind vigorously—absolutely not!

Lige lay on the ground and thought hard, compared the shape of the dormitory in his previous life, and deleted the impractical facilities little by little. Stretching his stiff back, Lige excitedly took his blueprints to the patriarch to discuss.

According to Rigg's instructions, Bu was inspecting the river closest to the Dog Clan's camp, selecting the soil suitable for firing red bricks, when he saw Rigg sitting on Charlie's neck, holding a thick roll of beast Pi came galloping.

Seeing this impatience, Boo thought that something big had happened, but when Rigg unfolded the blueprint in his hand and explained it, Boo thought it was really a big thing.

However, although Bu is a patriarch, he is still a country bumpkin at heart, and Rigg's painting skills are abstract. Although listening to the explanation, I think it is very good and convenient, but in fact, I can't imagine what it will look like.

On the contrary, Nora of the Dog Clan has some insight. She put her head on the design drawing laid on the ground and looked at it carefully for a while, then suddenly said: "This is very similar to the clan land of the Xi Rang Clan."

Rieg was startled, and quickly asked her, "What kind of tribe is the Sirang people?" He thought that this civilization as a whole was in the Stone Age, but he didn't expect that it was just a misunderstanding. The Xiyang people that Nora talked about can actually have the ability to build cities and towns. Concept, in this way, their level of civilization must be several generations higher than those of the orcs on the grasslands. This is really incredible news.

Seeing that Rigg was interested, Nora told all the information she knew about the Sirang tribe, but she didn't know much.

"The Sirang people are different from us orcs. They don't have a beast form at birth, they are born in a human form, and their combat power is not strong, but their brains are very smart, and they can often make some very magical things, such as a bow and arrow. Things can fly from a long distance, harm the orcs, and they will build something called a house... Well, it's very similar to the one you drew on this picture."

Rigg's mouth was wide open, even if a fly flew in at this moment, he probably wouldn't notice it.

All he could think about was: "What Xirang people are obviously primitive humans! Fellow villagers, it turns out that you are still alive in this world!"

This is really explosive news. It was so explosive that Rieger almost couldn't recover for a while. It was Charlie who pecked his cheek lightly to bring his soul back. Seeing everyone staring at him, Rieger hurriedly interrupted. Said: "It's okay, I'm curious about this Xirang tribe, hey, Nora, tell me again, where do they all live?"

Nora frowned and thought hard for a while: "I don't know much. I heard that when the soldiers who went out to exchange supplies in the past came back, they told us that there was something built with mud in their clan land. It is called a house, can make salt, can make weapons such as bows and arrows, and can also make something called linen, which is cool and comfortable to wear on the body, but that kind of thing is too expensive, we can’t afford to exchange it, and they can burn it. A kind of container, called black pottery, can be used to hold water... ah—"

When talking about black pottery, Nora slapped her forehead and said suddenly: "By the way, it's very similar to the red pot you used. Our warriors once exchanged five horned pigs for a black pottery pot filled with water. , everyone likes that jar very much, but there is only one jar, and it can only be used by the patriarch. But I have seen that jar before, it looked good before, but compared with your red jar, now that I think about it, it is really not good at all Compare it." At the end she asked, "Where did you get the jar?"

In terms of black pottery, it should be pottery fired at low temperature, which is the simplest method of firing pottery, kneading shapes out of clay, setting them on firewood and burning them.Although the temperature cannot be reached, if the time is sufficient, the clay can be crystallized, but the water vapor in the air and external impurities are absorbed during the firing process, and the pottery fired in that way is black and can be used. It's just not very pretty, and it's not strong enough. It's completely incomparable with the red clay pots he guided the people to burn.

However, since they are still at the technical level of weaving linen and firing pottery at low temperature, it seems that the level of civilization of these primitive humans is no more than that.

Nora was still babbling: "Those Sirang people are black-hearted. A palm-sized black pottery pot needs to be exchanged for five horned pigs, and a small bag of gray salt needs to be exchanged for twenty horned pigs. We have never exchanged linen. We've always used animal hides..."

Lige grabbed another key word, exchanged it, and hurriedly asked again: "You mean, those Sirang people will make deals with orcs, that is to say, their clan land is not very far from here?"

Nora thought for a while and said: "The Sirang people are not strong, and they don't have sharp teeth and claws, so it is difficult to catch prey, so they will use the fresh things they made to exchange meat and protection with the orcs. I will use grass to heal the injured orcs, just like you healed us that night. But they live in a place with many mountains, far away from our grasslands. My warriors used to go out once a year to exchange supplies. Um...mainly for salt, we can’t afford other things.” Nora spread her hands helplessly, saying that their clan is poor and can’t afford to exchange anything except salt, which is the necessities of life.

Lige nodded understandingly, Samoyed, it's understandable that they can't do anything, after all, in later generations, people can earn a living for a lifetime just by being cute.

He extracted some information from Nora's words. First, there are humans in this world, but the level of civilization is at the level of building a mud house, extracting salt rich in impurities, and burning a few black pottery pots; in fact, The place where human beings live is not very close to us, at least in this era when there is no means of transportation, it is not a distance that you can come and go casually; in the end, these primitive human beings have a good mind, knowing that they are delicate and weak, and they have learned to In order to exchange with the powerful orcs.

Through the above three points, it is concluded that for the construction on the grassland side, the humans on the other side of the mountain are temporarily useless, and everything depends on themselves.

Well, but it can't be said that it is completely useless. After all, Nora is just a house dog. She only heard about the situation there, and she has only a half-knowledge. Daliu went to the human side to exchange a wave of things, and take a look at their development by the way, but this is for another story. The construction in front of them has to be down-to-earth by themselves.

Now that we have come to the river, we must inspect the water and soil, dig out the stones and all kinds of weeds and vines by the river, just like what we thought before coming, this continent, at least in their area, is made of loess and kaolin. Just like their hometown, the situation in the hills on the other side of the Black Forest is similar.

Since this is the case, it will be much easier to do. To dig up the loess, the strong labor force of their tribe is familiar with the road, but the few orcs who went out to explore the terrain have not returned yet. I don’t know the distribution of nearby vegetation for the time being. The main reason is to let them go out to find out if there is any bamboo forest nearby. Needless to say, there must be some ordinary woods. He is not looking for bamboo for other reasons. The main reason is that bamboo is suitable for making various things. If there is a bamboo forest nearby, It can save a lot of things, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it, it can be replaced by vines and wood.

Lige held the delicate loess in his hands, thinking about what the tribe would look like in the future, and felt that since God cooperated so much, it shouldn't be too late. Anyway, these big guys are not only not tired, but also leisurely Well, it's time to find something for them to do.

So some of the bamboo baskets in the tribe were collected and used to fetch soil from the river. Since it was needed to burn bricks, there was no need to find another place, so the brick mold drying yard was arranged directly in the open space by the river, anyway. On the prairie, there is flat land everywhere. In the future, charcoal kilns and pottery kilns will be planned by the river, and they will be directly built into joint workshops.

Baskets of yellow mud were taken and piled up on the shore.

The idle orcs in the tribe all came to watch the excitement, worrying about the lack of manpower, they were all captured by Lige.

Rigg assigned them a good job, one part jumped into the river to fetch soil, the other part sorted out the rubbish such as stones, grass roots, bones and scum in the yellow mud, and the other part went to cut trees to make brick models, Charlie carried him on the bank Walking around to oversee workers.

This is not because Lige is exploiting the labor force of the orcs, but if he wants to build a house according to the idea on his animal skins, it is not as simple as building a few kilns. The amount of red bricks required is very large. It's already more than halfway through, and even if we start working intensively from now on, we may not be able to complete half of it by winter.

Thinking of the thousands of miles of ice in winter, there were at least some mountains and trees in the old residence to keep out the cold current, and every household had a cave to sleep in. On this endless prairie, what does the wind think? It blows as it pleases, and the snow drifts as it pleases, as long as there is no tile to cover your head—Rig shivered.

No, everyone has to hide in the building this winter.

The author has something to say: Mr. Lige has an idea, and everyone must not be idle. Haha, thank you to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution for me~

Thanks to the little angel who irrigated [nutrient solution]:

2 bottles of Zichi Lianhua, Qingli, and fried chicken;

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
