The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 507 Going to Sea for the Third Time

In the middle of the night, the cold moonlight sprinkled on the ground like mercury, and the night wind carried a little chill.

Qingzhu was sitting under the eaves, with her chin propped on her hands, and she was wearing a rabbit fur coat. She had maintained this position for a long time.

"Squeak..."

There was the sound of the door opening in the next yard.

Her soul power is very strong, and her five senses are also very strong, and she can hear all the subtle sounds nearby.

Afterwards, she heard the door of the room next door being opened, the golden spear was placed on the weapon shelf, and the animal skin bag was placed on the table, followed by Chen Bei's soft voice that let out a long breath.

Not long after, Chen Bei poured hot water, took off his clothes with a rustle, and started to take a bath. The sound of water running was obvious.

"It's good to be back safely."

There was also a relieved smile on Qingzhu's face, she got up and walked into the room, rubbed her eyes, covered her mouth and yawned, then lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

……

Early the next morning, Chen Bei woke up from his sleep, put on his clothes, soaked the spider silk towel, and washed his face with cold water. His whole body became much more awake.

He cleaned up, ate something, and wandered around the tribe.

Yesterday, the news that Chenbei led people to set fire to the ant tribe obviously spread among the tribe, and many tribesmen looked at Chenbei with fanaticism.

Apparently, his actions yesterday were a great encouragement to the Mang tribe, which made everyone feel better about being attacked by the ant tribe and being robbed of their livestock.

Chen Bei also believed that after this lesson, the Ant tribe, or other tribes, would not dare to easily provoke the Mang tribe again.

If you dare to provoke them, then you will retaliate fiercely several times. If you have the opportunity, you can even wipe out the opponent's tribe.

Chen Bei walked out of the tribe and came to the mountain outside the tribe.

He was surprised to find that in just one day, new wooden houses were built on each mountain, and these wooden houses occupied various positions on the mountain that were conducive to observation.

On each mountain, there are about a hundred warriors, divided into three teams, patrolling the entire mountain without interruption.

Moreover, among these fighters, every ten people are equipped with a small horn, which can ensure that someone can sound the alarm in time when there is an unexpected situation.

Some of the livestock of the breeding team came to the mountain again. These livestock are driven out during the day and will be driven back to the tribe at night.

Under such strict guards, the safety of these livestock, including the safety of the breeding team soldiers, is guaranteed.

"Gui Zong's ability is really good." Chen Bei sighed.

It is not easy to make such a big change in one day and one night, and most people don't have the courage.

Hui Zong recruited so many people from other places to guard the periphery, and the guards in other places were hardly affected, which is the embodiment of his ability.

He clearly knew which places the soldiers could be transferred and which places the soldiers could never move.

All this is easy to say, but it is not easy to do well.

Chen Bei turned around and found no obvious loopholes, so he was relieved.

He turned and walked towards the Mang tribe's shipyard.

The shipyard is located next to the artificial lake outside the Mang tribe. There is an artificially excavated river connected to the Lobster River. The built boats can be driven directly along the river.

This time the ant tribe's attack once again made Chen Bei firm in his belief that eggs cannot be put in one basket.

If the Rhino Horn Continent is fully developed and can exchange supplies with the Mang Tribe, then the Mang Tribe will have an extra layer of protection and a way out in the face of various attacks and wars.

If the situation changes, the Mang tribe will retreat to the Rhinoceros Continent, which belongs to them completely, so as not to stay in the Southern Wilderness.

And if you want to communicate with the Rhinoceros Continent, it is not enough to rely on the flamingo alone. The distance is long and there are many dangers on the road, and the things that the flamingo can transport are also very limited.

Therefore, Chenbei put his hope on water transportation.

The Rhinoceros Continent is now surrounded by the sea. If the Mang Tribe's sea-going ships can open a route, they will be able to sail from Nanhuang to the Rhinoceros Continent.

Shipping large quantities of supplies will be much easier.

"Be careful, check all the gaps, and don't miss any place. If the boat accidentally leaks in the sea, you will know the consequences."

Bibo stood in front of the newly built ship. Since bronze was available, nails and various important parts can be made of bronze. The stability and firmness are many times better than before.

It is precisely because of the support of bronze materials that the sea ships of the Mang tribe can be made larger and larger, and the sails made of linen and other materials are much better than before.

The size and performance of the current boats of the Mang Tribe have far surpassed the largest boats of the Yu Tribe at that time.

The filling of ship seams has always been a difficult problem. If it is not filled, the boards will expand with heat and contract with cold, and will be deformed over time, and cracks that are difficult to repair will easily appear.

The boats of the Mang tribe, under Chen Bei's reminder, used fine twine soaked in tung oil to fill the gaps.

Tung oil is pressed from the seeds of a fruit called the tung tree and is a natural paint.

Painted on furniture, it can make the furniture more durable, and painted on the beams, it can prevent the beams from being eaten by insects. It is the most important natural paint of the Mang tribe.

The hemp rope soaked in tung oil is filled into the gaps of the big boat, and its waterproof performance is very good. The wooden boards of the big boat are painted with several layers of tung oil to ensure that the wooden boards are not easy to crack and corrosion-resistant.

Only a boat built in this way can ride the wind and waves in the sea without being easily damaged.

After Chen Bei walked over, Bibo immediately spotted him and took the initiative to go up to say hello.

"How's the ship going?" Chen Bei asked casually.

"Boss, we have already built three new sea-going ships, and this one is the largest and most important one, and it will be ready for sea trials soon."

"As long as there is no problem with the sea trial of the largest sea-going ship, we can form a fleet composed entirely of sea-going ships and enter wider sea areas."

Thinking of the river boat sailing in the past, Bibo was a little bit embarrassed. The conditions were too bad at the beginning, but fortunately everything is developing in a better direction now.

"Very good, when I go to sea, I will let Lie lead half of the most elite fighters of the fishing team to sail with you."

"With Lie here, even if they encounter some small tribes, they dare not act rashly."

The previous experience of the crocodile tribe made Chen Bei understand that the danger of sailing is too great, and it is necessary to send enough powerful fighters to escort, Bibo and her men alone are far from enough.

"Great, thank you leader. With Captain Lie here, we can sail further afield without worry."

Bibo is very happy. With more power in sailing, it will be easier to explore the sea area. Although the arrival of Lie may lead to decentralization, it is better than being robbed by unknown small tribes, or being hit by a big fish .

The fishing team is famous, and they have caught too many big fish. The huge fishbone decorations in many places of the Mang tribe are left after the fishing team fished.

Chen Bei looked around the shipyard again. He was very satisfied with the current shipyard. In this era, with the ability to build large sea ships, the Mang tribe was ahead of other tribes by how many years.

Afterwards, Chen Bei went to the fishing team again, told Lie about this, and asked him to get ready.

"You know about the New World. If we want to transport supplies, we must rely on sea ships. Therefore, it is very important to open up a route from the Southern Wilderness to the Rhino Horn Continent, so I will ask you to take the fishing team there."

Holding the bronze harpoon in his hand, Lie said excitedly: "Don't worry, leader, I have long thought of catching big fish in the sea. With me here, the fleet will be safe!"

Chen Bei nodded, and said: "Fishing is fine, but you must be careful, and don't provoke too scary big fish."

"It's natural, I'm not a reckless person."

Lie readily agreed, full of expectations for the upcoming sea voyage.

After Chen Bei left, Lie immediately went to the casting workshop and asked the craftsmen to make two huge bronze harpoons.

This very challenging task was taken over by the owner of the foundry, Huoshi.

He spent ten days and consumed a lot of bronze, and finally created two five-meter giant harpoons with rings on the tails that could be tied with ropes.

This kind of harpoon weighs hundreds of catties, and can only be used by fierce fighters. It is not easy for other fighters to lift it up, let alone throw it out for a spear.

Lie was very satisfied with the two harpoons. He wove a long rope out of tough animal skin and tied it to the ring of the giant harpoon, so that after he threw it out and hit the fish, he could pull the fish back without losing the fish. cross.

Mang Tribe was established No.12, the beginning of the fourth month of spring.

Bibo led the new ship to finish manufacturing and drying, and officially started the trial voyage.

Including the old sea ships from before, there are a total of nine sea ships, forming a fleet, carrying a large amount of food, dried fruit, wine and other things, led by Bibo, and Lie led a fishing team of [-] elite soldiers to escort.

Starting from the Lobster River in front of the Mang Tribe, it went down the river, passed by the Fish Tribe, replenished a large amount of fresh water, and then entered the sea from the estuary.

Seaside, fish tribe.

The members of the Fish Tribe have also started fishing in the sea now, but they only fish in the shallow water near the beach and dare not go further.

The fishing boats of the Fish Tribe are easy to use in the inland rivers, but they are obviously not suitable for the sea and are difficult to maneuver.

"Wu, the people of the Mang tribe have gone to sea again."

The leader of the Fish Tribe walked outside the stone house halfway up the mountain and reported the Mang Tribe's movements to Red Scale.

Honglin looked at the Mang Tribe fleet heading towards the sea, nodded, and said, "I saw it, this is the third time."

The leader of the Yu Tribe hesitated for a moment, and said: "The soldiers below all said...they say that the boats of the Mang Tribe are bigger and better than those of our Yu Tribe."

"I also said... I also said that if our fish tribe went to sea earlier, the current boat would definitely be better."

Honglin was silent. She was the one who ordered not to go to sea because the sea was too dangerous. Although the ban has been lifted now, the gap between the Yu tribe and the Mang tribe has been widened during this period of time.

It is normal for the soldiers below to complain.

The leader of the Yu tribe continued: "I think... I wonder if I can imitate the boat of the Mang tribe..."

Saying these words, the leader of the fish tribe summoned up a lot of courage.

The Fish Tribe used to be the most capable shipbuilder in the entire continent, but now they want to imitate the big ships of other tribes. In terms of honor, this is very difficult to accept.

The leader of the Yu Tribe went all out, and continued: "After the Mang Tribe went to sea several times, they remodeled their boats into this shape. Facts have proved that the ability of this kind of boats to sail at sea is indeed much better than our current flat-bottomed boats. "

"With the shipbuilding technology of our Fish Tribe, we only need to imitate the ship shape of the Mang Tribe, make a few ships, and then go to sea and try a few more times. In the future, we will definitely be able to build a bigger ship that is better than the Mang Tribe!"

To imitate first, and then surpass, this is the idea of ​​the leader of the fish tribe.

However, this idea was rejected by many people in the Yu tribe, because they could not accept the fact that the Mang tribe's shipbuilding technology was already more advanced than theirs.

In desperation, the leader of the Yu tribe had no choice but to come to Honglin. If Wu could agree, different opinions in the tribe could be suppressed, and things would become much simpler.

The leader of the fish tribe looked at Hong Lin nervously, he didn't know what answer Hong Lin would give him.

Red Scale looked at the Mang Tribe fleet that had sailed into the sea, was silent for a while, and then said: "Just do as you want, if anyone disagrees, let them come to me."

Although Honglin has a conservative personality, she can listen to opinions and distinguish right from wrong. She knows that what the leader of the fish tribe does is beneficial to the fish tribe.

The leader of the Yu Tribe was overjoyed and said, "Thank you Wu, I will inform the craftsmen who built the boats, we will definitely build better boats than the Mang Tribes in the future!"

The leader of the Fish Tribe left in a hurry, and halfway there, he couldn't help but dance and dance. If he could get Red Scale's approval, the matter would be half successful.

Honglin stood in the yard, looked at the Mang Tribe fleet on the sea for a while, and whispered: "Perhaps, I should really change the way I do things. Some things, one step behind, step by step behind, obviously we are The Fish Tribe lived by the sea, but the Mang Tribe took the lead."

Red Scale took a deep breath, determined to change this situation, she turned and returned to the stone house.

……

"boom!"

On the surface of the sea, the waves hit the Mang tribe's sea boat wave after wave, and were broken by the sharp front end of the sea boat, so as not to cause too much impact on the ship's navigation.

"This is the sea!"

Standing on the bow of the boat, Lie looked very excited as he watched the boundless sea with the sea breeze blowing.

Beside him, there are two huge harpoons connected to two bundles of braided animal skin ropes.

Lie, including most of the members of the fishing team, have never seen the sea, they only fish in the river.

Now, after coming to the vast ocean, they are all shocked.

"Crash!"

Ahead, a gigantic fish was cruising on the surface of the sea, about 50 meters long, and it was too big.

A member of the fishing team swallowed hard, and whispered to Lie: "Captain, can this fish...can you catch it?"

Lie looked at the harpoon, then looked through it, patted the soldier on the back of the head, and said: "This fish is bigger than our boat, how to transport it back after catching it? Use your brain more."

The soldier rubbed the back of his head and shut up.

In fact, Lie really wants to catch such a big fish, but he understands that even if it hits the fork, the boat will not be able to withstand it, and will be pulled into the deep sea, and if it turns back to attack, it will be even worse. Ships were knocked over by it.

As the fleet sailed, Lie saw more big fish. There were much more fish in the sea than in the inland river, and everyone in the fishing team cheered up.

They began to try to use harpoons, fishing nets and other tools to catch fish from the sea. This is a carnival for fishing teams.
