Lin Yan first marked out the foundations of each yard and let the people digging the foundations work first. Only when the foundation is dug deep can the house be strong, and no one dares to be careless.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Lin Yan immediately found someone to build brick kilns and tile kilns.
Nowadays, the conditions are difficult, so six places were chosen to build each one, and the caves dug out were used to convert them into kilns.
Lao Hei was very experienced in firing, and Mao Mu also learned a lot from him. The two of them took the lead.
Baking bricks and tiles is much less difficult than making pottery. When they first started making pottery, they started by firing slab bricks.
Seeing everyone's efficiency, Lin Yan was thankful in his heart that Lao Hei and Mao Mu built the kiln when they were firing pottery. Otherwise, they would have to go through a lot of experiments, which was time-consuming and laborious.
On this day, everyone in the Sun Tribe was busy. Everyone has something to do and no one is idle.
Lin Yan was especially busy. Anyone who was unsure about something would come to her.
Shui Sheng and Cao Zhi became Lin Yan's right-hand men. They were older and smarter, and could always quickly understand Lin Yan's meaning and then convey it.
Xiao Shitou, Huahua and Ye Ya are also members of the follower group, organizing and arranging the children in the tribe to do things within their capabilities.
In the evening of the first day, several people in charge gathered together to summarize the results of the first day's work.
Alan was the first to say: "The wood cutter brought back sixty pieces of wood, forty thin pieces and twenty thick pieces."
Lin Yan was surprised. The efficiency was much faster than expected. There was a lack of tools and it was difficult to cut wood with only stone tools.
"Really that much?"
Alan nodded, "I counted it myself, that's all. You can go and see if it can be used tomorrow."
"I want to go and see it later." Lin Yan couldn't wait. She seemed to have underestimated the people in the tribe and wanted to see for herself how they did it.
The most indispensable thing here is wood. There are all kinds of thick and thin materials. You can pick them from anywhere. She always thought that it would be difficult to cut wood without sharp knives, so she postponed the plan to build a house.
If it weren't for the encounter with a herd of beasts and the cave being destroyed, Lin Yan would have wanted to wait for the cold season to pass before starting to build a house.
Alan said: "Okay, I'll take you to see it later. Today the people who made the baskets made twenty, the fences you mentioned made fifty, and a lot of grass was brought back. The hunting team brought them back We got one hundred and twenty-four rats and rabbits, and raised thirty-eight cubs..."
Listening to Alan listing all the data one by one, Lin Yan realized that she was also a talent. No wonder everyone agreed that she would manage logistics.
Huang Ye was responsible for the deployment of personnel and personally supervised the excavation of the foundation. This was the top priority. She was very worried and stayed there to watch.
"The foundation has been dug in three places, all according to your requirements, one and a half meters deep and half a meter wide."
Lao Hei reported: "Today, two brick kilns and two tile kilns were built. They have been baked by fire. The kilns can be fired in three days. The first batch of bricks and tiles have also been made and are left to dry in the shade."
After listening to it, several people felt that the progress was much faster than expected.
Lin Yan said: "There are more people and more power, and the speed is very fast. According to this progress, ten courtyards can be built in up to twenty days. The materials for other courtyards can also be prepared. Once the bricks and tiles are made, more will be arranged. Man-made houses.”
"Yes, once the materials are ready, construction will begin." Huang Ye nodded in agreement.
Lin Yan explained the entire process of building a house in detail. They knew all the preparations that needed to be made, so they could arrange it so quickly.
After talking about the matter, Lin Yan and Alan went to see the chopped wood.
Sure enough, there were a lot of them, a pile of them.
"Alan, do you know how they chop wood?" Looking at the unevenly cut wood, Lin Yan became even more puzzled.
Alan smiled and said: "I don't know about this. Ask Dashi. He took people to chop wood."
"I'll ask Dashi."
Lin Yan immediately went to find someone, and Alan followed.
The big stone still thought that something was wrong. After listening to Lin Yan's words, he touched his head and said naively: "We used hemp ropes to pull the big tree to one side, and then used stone knives to chop it down to more than half. When we pulled hard, the big tree fell apart." It fell."
Lin Yan looked at the stone knife again. It was sharper than she thought, but it was not so efficient.
She found a piece of wood and asked Dashi to demonstrate.
Dashi didn't have any doubts and did it immediately. He held the stone knife in both hands. The front end of the stone knife was sharp and the back was thick. When he slashed hard, the wood broke into two pieces.
Lin Yan looked at the fracture carefully. The wood with a diameter of five centimeters was completely broken. The fracture was not smooth. He turned to look at Dashi's hands.
She suddenly realized that the stone knife was indeed not as sharp as she thought, but she ignored a problem.
The strength of the young people in the tribe was much greater than she expected, otherwise they would not be able to chop down this piece of wood. No wonder they were so efficient in one day.
In this world, not only animals and plants have been affected, they have grown much taller, and people have also changed.
People have strong bodies and smart minds. In the past, they should have eaten raw flesh and blood and had a monotonous diet. The lack of enough food caused their bodies to not be strong enough.
In recent times, food has gradually become richer. After starting to eat cooked food, people's health has improved. There are fewer people who are sick, and their old bodies seem to be in better spirits.
Not to mention the children, they are growing better and are no longer as thin as before.
That night, Lin Yan thought for a long time and felt that the environment must be different.
The air here may be oxygen-rich, which leads to a series of changes.
In an oxygen-rich environment, animals and plants are provided with sufficient oxygen and can grow vigorously, so they will grow vigorously. People also benefited a lot. As for whether it is true or not, it needs to be confirmed later.
There was too much to think about at the moment. Seeing Lin Yan staring at the broken wood in a daze, neither Alan nor Dashi dared to disturb him.
They all knew that Lin Yan's mind was different from theirs. If he was interrupted while thinking of a good idea, the loss would be great.
When Lin Yan came to his senses, both of them looked at her expectantly, wondering what good idea she had just come up with.
Lin Yan knew what they were thinking at a glance and said hurriedly: "I just remembered something else. The young men in the tribe are very capable, which is beyond my expectation. It won't take long for the new house to be built."
Lin Yan couldn't calm down that night. After noticing the difference here, she felt worried.
An oxygen-rich environment is beneficial to most life forms. Animals and plants generally grow taller and have longer life spans.
Thinking of the pikas and bison she had seen, as well as the shapes of some birds, these animals had grown several times larger, while humans had not changed much.
In such an environment, humans have no survival advantage. It becomes more difficult to conquer nature and survive.
But it is not without its advantages. The environment is conducive to the growth of plants, and they are generally tall and the fruits become larger. If they can be planted, they can get enough food.
