Food crisis!
The most terrifying thing for a tribe in winter...
There is something more terrifying than an attack by a horde of beasts and a crowd of madmen!
After all, whether you encounter a tide of beasts or a crowd of madmen, you will still die happily after being attacked.
Especially for such large monsters, a human is just a snap, so the pain only lasts a moment.
The same is true for a madman. When a madman hunts a hunter, he will pick up the knife and land it neatly without any sloppiness.
But food crisis, for humans, is a double torture of body and soul.
Human beings who have been hungry for three days can swallow any edible food placed in front of them. Hunger can defeat reason. Human beings with strong willpower may choose to face it calmly before their reason is defeated. Regarding death, those human beings who have lost their minds become madmen at the moment of nervous breakdown!
Now half of Xuexing's winter has passed, and the remaining time is less than eight months.
In another month, some tribes that did not collect enough supplies and food during the summer will soon fall into a food crisis.
At this point in time, edelweiss has also grown, so some tribes, after half a winter of silence and starting to run out of food, have to go out to collect edelweiss and hunt scavengers.
Although it is extremely dangerous, compared to waiting for death, this risk must be taken!
Relatives, friends and tribesmen all have to open their mouths to eat, so the warriors can only walk out of the tribe at this time without hesitation, and embark on a journey of hunting and being hunted in the cruel winter of the Snow Star.
So if you go out at this time, you are more likely to encounter humans in the wild than when winter has just entered.
At this point in time, if humans meet in the wild, it will not necessarily be a blessing or a curse.
With the temptation of food, anything can happen.
Danger and opportunity coexist!
Three days have passed...
There was still no movement in the dumb hole.
A week passed, but there was still no movement. Ye Qiong came to the entrance of Daidai's cave and listened to Daidai's snoring, which was still very heavy. It seemed that he would not wake up in a short time.
Ye Qiong didn't intend to worry about this kind of thing. He still wanted to let Daidai have a good sleep and wait for it to wake up before setting off again.
In the days to come, Ye Qiong was training Thunder at the waterfall base while running between the wooden house base and the waterfall base, coordinating some things and transporting weapons between them.
On the tenth day, Ye Qiong organized a team of thirty people and personally led them into the dense forest to the boulder area.
After staying in the boulder area for three days, a temporary residence was built. Thirty soldiers built ten wooden houses within three days, forming a circle with the giant sword as the center. .
After having the building, it can be regarded as a declaration of sovereignty here. As for whether other tribes recognize it or not, it doesn't matter. The Ye Qiong tribe can recognize it itself.
In this way, time passed quickly, half a month passed in such a hurry, Ye Qiong led the soldiers back to the wooden house base.
Those houses were left over at the boulder base. Ye Qiong's arrangement was for Huahuangji to take some people over from time to time to take a look, and Quan was supposed to be on guard in the dense forest.
This winter, it was a bit too troublesome to transport supplies and food there, so Ye Qiong had no intention of stationing there. Instead, he let the soldiers continue to get familiar with it and clear the road first, so as to facilitate the communication between the two sides.
After spring next year, we can build over there and start garrisoning.
Compared to the wooden house base, the boulder area is more suitable for building a large sub-base.
As for the wooden house base, it is a forced fort. Its military status is very important, but it is not suitable for the living and life of the tribe. The war here will not stop until the problem of the Red Flame Leopard tribe is solved.
The situation is different in the boulder area. It was placed there for the Red Flame Leopard Tribe to attack. Even without any reinforcements, the Red Flame Leopard Tribe could not attack it relying on natural dangers.
At the waterfall base, Qing Zhi and Na Ning have already moved into the waterfall cave and continue their translation research work.
This matter takes a long time, so there is no need to rush to see any research results.
Above the falls, excavation of the river channel continues.
Ye Qiong estimated that the water flow on the waterfall during the summer, and the water flow at its peak, was still very large.
Therefore, above the waterfall, for the current Ye Qiong tribe, the water flow must be diverted first to ensure that the water channel is smooth in summer.
The tentative plan is to dig a river channel to the right side of the waterfall before next spring.
The distance is about two kilometers, the depth is fifteen meters, the width is about ten meters, and the overall shape is a V shape.
Judging from the current productivity at the waterfall base, the soldiers can dig about three hundred meters per month.
If nothing else happens, it can be completed just before spring next year.
However, as spring begins and the snow in the upper reaches of the Dingdinglong Mountains melts, the water flow will continue to increase. This canal alone is not enough.
After the beginning of spring, the soil is not so hard, so when digging, it will be much faster.
Ye Qiong's expectation is to dig out two more channels before the peak water flow reaches the upper reaches of the summer waterfall.
At that time, the three water channels will be diverted together, and the waterfall cave and the water channel below will not be a big problem.
Another point is that Ye Qiong is planning a relatively big thing.
That is the water storage capacity above the waterfall...
The purpose is to develop in the direction of future hydroelectric power stations.
You still have to have dreams, what if they come true!
So the current canal is used to divert water, but later on, at the waterfall base, it may be a kind of energy source for the tribe.
A very huge one!
In the next few days, Ye Qiong basically studied things in his cabin. From time to time, he went out for a walk to see the growth of Lei Lei. Under the feeding of the King Beast regardless of quantity, Lei Qiong's current Growth rate, more or less...
It's a little scary.
The height is gradually approaching that of Ye Qiong. In terms of body shape, it is very difficult for Ye Qiong to hold it now. When the wingspan is extended, it is already bigger than a wooden house.
On the twenty-first day, Ye Qiong got up early as usual.
After pushing open the wooden house, he saw the huge figure lying at the door of his house...
It seems that I have lost a lot of weight.
