Deep in the cave, it would take a long time for the three light arrows to go out. Then the light came on, and the two king koalas stuffed half of the raft's meat into their stomachs.
Most of them were eaten by the King and Queen koalas. The King and King koalas were beaten up and lost their appetite. Second, they deliberately wanted their wives to eat more. After all, they were in their stomachs. The crystallization requires a lot of nutrients.
There are only twenty days left in the winter on the snow planet, and the temperature has risen to a temperature that is slightly more comfortable for people in the wild. There is no need to continue to wrap up in animal skins to go out.
After the movement became more convenient, the overall work efficiency of the Ye Qiong tribe also improved.
Ye Qiong entered the cave, beat up the king's koala again, and then returned to the tribe. Facing the countdown to winter, there was no risk of a beast tide now.
The herds of monsters will basically disperse during this period, and then start to reproduce crazily. Some monsters that entered pregnancy in winter will soon welcome their next generation. They will be the first to leave the herd and then find a habitat. , ready for production.
When spring comes and everything revives, the cubs of Warcraft are born. In just a few months, they must increase to a certain size and weight before they can follow their mother beasts when winter comes. , join the new beast tide.
Most of the monsters have multiple offspring. If the mother monster feels that she can't feed the monsters that are born with a weak body, she will bite them to death, then swallow them in her belly and turn them into milk to feed the strong cubs. .
This is not just on the snow planet, I believe that there are such nurturing animals on many planets with living things. If you want to survive, you must make the best use of the only resources you have.
Like many Warcraft, many Snow Demonic Wolves in the Ye Qiong Tribe are also preparing to give birth. However, with human care, they naturally do not have to worry about food and feeding. Even the Snowy Demonic Wolf has left its cubs. Even without any milk, the tribesmen were able to feed the wolf cubs.
Ye Qiong doesn't have to worry about those basic and tedious things. The thing Ye Qiong wants to get the most now is the steam engine. Now as long as Ye Qiong can get enough iron, he can speed up the production of steam engines.
However, iron is very precious on Snow Star. After all, as a weapon for combat, although each tribe has its own storage, it is not much. It is basically made into weapons and things for hunting.
It is impossible for Ye Qiong to melt the tribe's weapon beast trap to make a steam engine. Although there is no need to worry about beast tides and crazy crowds in summer, winter will still come. This kind of thing of tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall is difficult to do. It makes no sense.
The caravan has a very heavy task this year, and Ye Qiong has given them a new task, which is to collect iron!
It would be great if there were rag collectors on Snow Star. Ye Qiong can now exchange coal mines for iron. This disguised currency is still unavailable for the time being, so how to get enough iron is a headache for Ye Qiong. The problem.
Iron needs to be refined, unlike coal, which can be burned directly after you dig it out.
The iron tools used by the current tribe, including all tribes on the entire Snow Star, were collected, refined, polished and passed down by their ancestors for tens of thousands of years.
Even if an iron mine is discovered for Ye Qiong now, Ye Qiongye can only watch it for the time being. The manpower and material resources are not enough and are stretched thin.
Iron mines definitely still need to be explored. The fastest way for Ye Qiong to stock up on iron now is to exchange it with caravans from other tribes.
That is, the legendary collection of scrap metal!
Every tribe attaches great importance to iron tools. If you want to exchange the iron tools from them, you must give them something of equal value. In winter, you can exchange them for coal and meat, but in summer, these two things The value will be greatly reduced.
Ye Qiong is now in Tang Ying's snow cave, discussing with Tang Ying how to exchange iron from other tribes.
The core of exchanging things is that two things must have value, a value that both parties need. As for the specific value, it depends on the needs, such as materials, food, women, etc...
The Ye Qiong tribe is now rich in coal. At least hundreds of tons of coal have been stored in the southeast corner of the tribe's ice wall. The coal base there has also been mining.
If the transportation capacity can be improved, the role of these coals can make the tribes on Snow Planet realize their value. Whether they are used for heating or living and cooking, they can be exchanged for iron. It is just a question of how much they exchange.
If Ye Qiong can invent the steam engine and then spread it to all tribes on Snow Star, then the value of coal resources can really increase.
This gave rise to a refutation. Without the value of coal, there would be no way to exchange coal for a large amount of iron tools. Without iron tools, trying to spread steam engines to various tribes is just wishful thinking. In the end, steam engines cannot be produced. The value of coal is only for cooking and heating...
On Ye Qiong's last life on Earth, it took several thousand years for humans to evolve from the Stone Age to the Agricultural Age, and it also took more than a thousand years to go from the Agricultural Age to the Industrial Age. However, it only took a short time to go from the Industrial Age to the Technological Age. More than a hundred years.
The development of civilization needs to be based on an astronomical population base.
Ye Qiong wanted to develop Xuexing's civilization and technology level. He knew very well that it was not easy, and it was definitely not something that could be accomplished overnight or in three or two years.
At the same time, Ye Qiong is also very confident. Although the winter on the Snow Planet is cruel and ruthless, the human beings on the Snow Planet also have great potential. Their physical fitness can make a normal adult as good as a human on Earth. In comparison, they are all existences that are out of reach for humans on earth.
And Ye Qiong himself, a young man who can draw a four-denier long bow, if he could return to Earth with his current physical fitness, Ye Qiong would not be afraid of ordinary light firepower at all, and he would be an invincible existence.
As soon as spring arrives, the caravan will go out, and now the entire caravan is already making preparations.
Ye Qiong asked about Tang Ying's plan for this year. From his own point of view, he didn't want Tang Ying to continue running around with the caravan. After all, spring and summer are very safe compared to winter. But there will also be times when you encounter king-level monsters, and summer storms are a nightmare for caravans.
Once encountered, it is no safer than encountering a snowstorm in winter.
Besides...
The tribe needs Tang Ying even more now. This winter, Tang Ying's thoughts are basically those of half a modern person.
Ye Qiong even gave Tang Ying a very detailed description of the existence of mobile phones and computers, as well as the macroscopic working principles. Therefore, when Tang Ying taught those little carrot heads, there would often be things that were far beyond the current snow stars. Cognitive level stuff and theory.
In the minds of those little carrot heads, all these things are recorded. In the future, when they reach a certain age, these things will be the catalyst for the entire Snow Star civilization.
After Ye Qiong expressed his thoughts, Tang Ying expressed her approval. Moreover, she also wanted to stay in the tribe and help Ye Qiong do things that others could not do.
Tang Ying has passively accepted those theories from heaven. She is like an information relay station, instilling Ye Qiong's thoughts into the minds of the next generation. And this group of people who have grown up in the next generation will in the future It has become the cornerstone for the rapid development of science and technology of the entire Snow Star civilization!
Tang Ying didn't need to understand those things. She directly chose to believe it and then transmitted it to the next generation. Naturally, there were a few talented and intelligent children who understood the mystery, and even went one better and understood deeper things.
Time, space, dimensions, relativity and quantum theory, even superstring theory...
After Tang Ying relayed these things, they were planted in the minds of those little carrot heads. As for when they will sprout, it depends on their talents.
