The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 113 Shipbuilding
After the heavy rain, not only fish but also snakes appeared.

In summer, the temperature is high, the rain is sufficient, and the food is abundant. The snakes in the snake cave come out to move in large numbers.

I don't know when, the Black Snake Tribe also came out of the Snake Cave. They built houses under the Snake Mountain, and started hunting, gathering, and even plundering people again.

But they no longer move south, but move east to the mountains and forests, because the Mang tribe is just south of Snake Mountain.

Due to the plundering of the small tribe's supplies and population, and its relatively deep foundation, the population of the Black Snake tribe has grown from more than 200 to more than 300, and the number of totem warriors has also reached more than 100.

At the foot of the Snake Mountain, the Wu of the Black Snake Tribe looked far away in the direction of the Mang Tribe. He stroked the black snake wrapped around his arm, and muttered to himself, "Hurry up, the day of revenge for our Black Snake Tribe is coming soon."

The Black Snake Witch stood there not long before the leader of the Black Snake Tribe hurried over.

"Wu, we have already talked with the Wolf Tribe, and they are willing to join forces to deal with the Mang Tribe."

In the spring of this year, the Black Snake Tribe and the Wolf Tribe made a deal, and accidentally learned that both sides have a common enemy, and that is the Mang Tribe.

The Black Snake tribe had previously attacked the Mang tribe, but lost a large number of totem warriors. Because they were afraid of being attacked by the Mang tribe, they had to sacrifice half of their tribe to the snake god and hid in the snake cave.

The wolf tribe is also quite miserable. There are only two high-level totem warriors, one of whom was beheaded by Chen Bei, and many ordinary totem warriors were lost.

Black Snake Wu said: "Did they ask for anything?"

"Just like us, they hate the Mang tribe to the bone. The only request is that after the Mang tribe is defeated, they will take [-]% more food, and the women can give it to us."

The Black Snake Witch was silent for a while, and said, "This condition is acceptable."

The Black Snake Witch asked again: "What about the Zerg Tribe? What do they say?"

This time, the Black Snake Tribe also contacted the Zerg Tribe, because they learned that the Zerg Tribe had wiped out the Tree Tribe, and some members of the Tree Tribe fled to the Mang Tribe.

They didn't know the grievances between Chenbei and the Zong Tribe, but they just wanted to use the excuse of eliminating the remnants of the Tree Tribe to let the Zerg Tribe attack the Mang Tribe together.

The leader of the Black Snake Tribe shook his head and said, "I don't know why, but the Insect Valley is closed, and I haven't seen anyone from the Insect Tribe."

The Black Snake Witch frowned, and said, "Why did the Zerg Tribe close the Bug Valley? Is it true that there is something wrong with their totem god as the snake god said?"

After the Zong tribe wiped out the Tree tribe, the totem god of the Black Snake tribe sensed that the totem god of the Zong tribe was in a very strange state, but he didn't dare to check it. He could only guess that there might be something wrong with the totem god of the Zong tribe.

Can't figure it out, the Black Snake Witch simply doesn't think about it for the time being.

"Forget it, don't care about them. If the Mang Tribe is not destroyed, we, the Black Snake Tribe, can't feel at ease. This time we join forces with the Wolf Tribe, and we must destroy them."

The Black Snake Witch said again: "You go to the wolf tribe again, discuss the time and details of the attack with them, and make sure everything is safe!"

"Okay, then I'll run again."

The leader of the Black Snake Tribe hurriedly left again.

……

At this time, the Mang tribe didn't know that the Black Snake tribe had revived again, and they were planning to attack them.

Chenbei is busy with one thing, which is shipbuilding.

Whether it is for fishing, or for the tribe to take a boat down the river in the future, or upstream, and trade with other tribes, boats are essential.

These days, Chen Bei stayed in the carpenter's workshop, discussing with the carpenter "Gen" how to make a real boat.

"We're going to build a small boat, not a canoe. It has to be wider and bigger than a canoe."

"It looks something like this."

Chen Bei used an animal brush to draw the appearance of a flat-bottomed wooden boat on the animal skin roll, and showed it to the carpenter.

The carpenter took several apprentices to observe the plan of the flat-bottomed wooden boat repeatedly. Based on their experience, they quickly saw the problem.

"Boss, you said they are spliced ​​together with wooden planks, but will it leak?"

Although stone axes and stone adzes can also be used to make wooden boards, they are inevitably rough and not smooth enough to make simple furniture, but not so good for making boats.

Chen Bei said: "It's okay, we can glue the gap with gum so that there will be no water leakage."

Since Hong Hua and others joined the Mang Tribe, what the Tree Tribe had before, now the Mang Tribe gradually has them.

Such as bark clothing, such as gum.

Those women who originally belonged to the tree tribe are very good at making gum. The gum they make is very viscous and durable, and can be used to stick various things.

For example, the arrowheads of sticky bows and arrows, the spearheads of spears, etc., will be much stronger with gum added than without gum.

The carpenter suddenly realized, and said: "No wonder the leader asked me to make a wooden barrel out of planks last time, and glued the gaps with tree glue. He wanted to know if there would be water leakage, so that I could use it to make a boat."

Chen Bei said approvingly: "Smart, the facts have proved that the wooden barrel glued with tree glue is very strong. I have used it for so many days, and there is no leakage at all, and the glue does not open."

"Let's start. Whether you can successfully build a ship or not, you will only know if you try it."

The carpenters stopped talking nonsense, they started planing planks.

The carpenter first selects a section of dry wood, and then chops it bit by bit with a stone axe to level it slowly, and then polishes it on a rough stone to smooth it out.

In this era, making a wooden board is very time-consuming and laborious. If it is not for the existence of totem power, it may take several days to make a wooden board.

"I wish I had a saw."

At this moment, Chen Bei missed the saws and planes that could be seen everywhere in his previous life. If there were these two things, the time for making wooden boards would be greatly shortened, and it would be very smooth.

It's a pity that a saw that can be used smoothly must be at least iron, preferably steel.

With the current conditions of the Mang Tribe and Chenbei's lack of knowledge, trying to smelt good steel and then turn the steel into saw blades is tantamount to a dream.

The carpenter and his three apprentices worked hard for several days before they finally finished the wooden boards needed for the wooden boat. Then, under Chen Bei's guidance, they spent a lot of time making wooden nails and drilling holes on the side of the wooden boards. hole.

Wooden nails were driven into the holes on the sides of the planks, connecting the thick planks together, and finally formed a ship.

Then the carpenter made two more oars, which were much easier to make, and he finished it in only one day.

Every step during this period was very difficult, but after gaining experience, they will do it much faster on the next ship.

In the last step, Chen Bei brought a bucket of sticky gum, spread the gum on all the gaps of the entire boat, and brushed it over and over again to ensure that there would be no water leakage.

After a month of busy work, the Mang tribe's first real wooden boat was finally born.

"Whoa!"

After the gum dried, Chen Bei carried the flat-bottomed wooden boat to the deepest pond and lowered the wooden boat gently.

The wooden boat floated smoothly on the water. Afterwards, Chen Bei got into the wooden boat and rowed back and forth in the pond with his oars.

Sure enough, the wooden boat is much easier to control than the canoe. It is very stable on the water surface and easy to control. If the wooden boat has no problems after using it for a period of time, you can try it in the river next time.

"With the first small boat, sooner or later there will be a big boat."

Chen Bei is full of confidence in this.

　Thanks to the hall master "Hunyuan Emperor" for the reward of 200 book coins.
