As the giant rock-like body of the unicorn comes closer, the protagonist gradually adjusts his mentality and laughs at himself: As a human being, I have never seen any big winds and waves, but today I was actually frightened by an ant in clothes and a hat. Jump.
In the past, the protagonist has not seen animals wearing clothes, such as some kittens, puppies, and rabbits raised by humans, but those were all gifts from humans enjoyed as "pets".
But this ant is not a gift, but the ability of its own tribe to make and wear clothes.
The one-horned fairy has arrived in front of the protagonist and the oldest king. Its huge body is shocking even to the protagonist, let alone the oldest king next to it. The protagonist noticed that Lao Wang's body had been shaking slightly, which showed that he was not at peace inside.
The worker ants and soldier ants responsible for welcoming them were even more unbearable. Faced with the huge pressure from the unicorn, it was difficult for them to maintain the stability of the team. The welcoming queue was in a mess, and they seemed to feel a great threat from the unicorn.
The One-horned Fairy finally stopped, and the big-headed ant "legacy" warriors accompanying the One-horned Fairy immediately surrounded the One-horned Fairy.
Among them, the worker ant warriors are not much different from the worker ants of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom and the Angel King's Legion. They are all broad-knotted Big-headed ants, but the carapace color is generally more yellow.
The soldier ants of the "remnants" of the big-headed ants are a little different. They all have a small piece of sharp flint stuck to their jaws.
Only after they got close enough did the protagonist notice this. Before, looking at it from a distance, the protagonist just felt that the other person's big jaw looked a little strange.
These flints must have been processed. They are all sharp and elongated cone-shaped flakes. There are traces of grinding on the edges, making them smooth and extremely sharp.
The flint pieces were stuck under a pair of soldier ants' jaws with an unknown type of glue, as if they were tied with two sharp knives. An angle is formed between the two pieces of flint, which will not affect the normal bite of the soldier ant's jaws.
These soldier ants actually have "weapons". The protagonist quickly guessed the purpose of the flint knife stuck on the jaws. Such a sharp flint blade is obviously more lethal and penetrating than the chitin jaws of the ants. , which can easily pierce the carapace of ants or other insects, making it very useful whether used in combat or hunting.
Moreover, judging from these flint weapons, the "remnants" of the big-headed ants have at least been able to make ground stone tools. This is another example of inferring their level of civilization.
Taking humans as an example, human stone tools in primitive society can be divided into beaten stone tools and ground stone tools according to the production methods.
Stone tools are stone flakes or cores broken from hard stones using other stones. Hammered stone tools can be divided into pointed tools, scrapers, chopping tools, carving tools and ball-shaped tools. The main materials are flint, agate, quartzite, quartz sandstone, hornfels and various siliceous rocks.
Among them, the pointed device has a sharp corner, and two or three sides have been repaired and made. Its size is generally suitable for holding firmly by hand. It can be divided into different types such as thick spikes, triangular spikes, and small spikes. Its function is roughly equivalent to modern drills and chisels.
Scrapers are generally made by hitting stones and leaving stone flakes. According to its shape, it can be divided into straight blade scrapers, concave blade scrapers, compound blade scrapers, disc scrapers, multi-edge scrapers, etc. It functions like a knife, plane, etc.
Chopping tools are often made of flat gravel, large stone flakes or stone cores. Only the edge of the blade is processed multiple times to form a single or multi-sided stone tool. The main purpose is to chop large animals or make repair tools, so chopping tools are also It can be called chopping tool, felling tool, hand axe, etc. It works like a knife and axe.
Carvers are mainly used to carve and make wooden products, which are relatively fine and function as carving knives and other art tools.
The globular organ is, as the name suggests, spherical in shape, and the scars of the flaking stone flakes can be clearly seen on it. At present, there is no definite conclusion on the purpose of the ball organ, but some people think that it was made to attack distant animals.
Generally speaking, although these stone tools are relatively rough and bulky, the emergence of stone tools is of great significance to the evolution and development of human beings.
The creation of stone tools by humans is a purposeful creative activity. The birth of stone tools drew a boundary between humans and the animal kingdom. Therefore, paleoanthropologists point out that human history began with the manufacture of stone tools.
Ground stone tools are more advanced than hammered stone tools and were born in the Neolithic Age between 10,000 and 5,000 years ago.
The surfaces of ground stone tools are polished. To make ground stone tools, you must first make ground stone tools, beat or cut the stone into an appropriate shape, and then grind it on a whetstone.
There are many types of ground stone tools, the most common ones include axes, chisels, knives, adzes, hoes, etc. The classification of modern tools is very similar.
Partially polished stone tools began to appear in the late Paleolithic Age of humans, and fully polished stone tools were widely used in the Neolithic Age. Even into the Bronze Age, ground stone tools continued to be used, serving the dual functions of weapons and tools.
Compared with polished stone tools, in terms of function, polished stone tools are suitable for fishing and hunting life, and the efficiency is relatively low; polished stone tools are suitable for farming life, and the labor efficiency is much higher.
It can be said that ground stone tools are a symbol of human beings entering a new era and entering a farming society.
The protagonist infers from the "weapons" of these big-headed ant "legacy" soldier ant warriors that this mysterious group of big-headed ant "legacy" may have entered the stage of farming society.
At this point, the protagonist's army of the God Envoy King is also the same. They plant grass grains and raise mealworms to obtain food, forming primitive agriculture. Hunting and gathering are only complementary means.
But in terms of stone tool production, although the protagonist has been asking Xiao Mi's scientific research team to step up research in this area, currently they can only make thick stone knives to assist in cutting grass and cutting wood. They are not yet able to make stone tools like the soldier ants in front of them. A knife so fine and thin that it can be used as a personal weapon.
The civilization represented by the "legacy" of the big-headed ants in front of us does seem to have a lot to learn from.
The protagonist cheers up and is determined to have a good exchange with the other party's queen.
At this time, the warriors of the "legacy" of the big-headed ants had already defended the one-horned fairy. A soft rope ladder made of plant fibers was thrown down by the warriors beside the queen on the pavilion.
Then, the queen of the mysterious big-headed ant "legacy", dressed in clothes and hat, exuding a unique compound fragrance, came down from the rope ladder.
Gong Wei's team opened an opening, and the queen, with two burly warriors, moved forward, approaching the protagonist and the oldest king.
