The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 511 Magneto and Simon

"Wow!"

The huge flamingo landed on the open space halfway up the mountain of the Chuanshan Tribe, kicking up waves of dust.

The nearby Chuanshan Tribes watched for a long time in the cave with their small eyes open. After someone recognized Chen Bei, they hurriedly reported to the leader, Bone Jia, who immediately led people out to meet him.

"Chief Chen, why are you free to visit our Chuanshan tribe today?"

Bone Armor had a bright smile on his face, but when facing Chen Bei, he was no longer as calm as before, because Chen Bei was so strong that even the totem god of the Chuanshan Tribe couldn't beat him.

"Why, don't you welcome me?" Chen Bei jumped off the back of the flamingo and said casually.

"No no no, of course welcome, definitely welcome."

Bone Armor waved his hands again and again, for fear that Chen Bei might misunderstand.

"I came here to find a kind of stone. I thought about it carefully. In the Southern Wilderness, there should be no tribe that is more familiar with stones than you Chuanshan tribe."

Chen Bei didn't beat around the bush, but directly stated his purpose.

Although the Chuanshan tribe is not strong, the inheritance time is very long. Many small tribes, medium tribes, and even large tribes have changed countless times, and they are still tenaciously surviving.

This has something to do with their cautiousness, and they have been living in underground caves. They are too cautious, and they will go into the criss-crossing underground caves at the slightest sign of trouble. The enemy can't find them at all.

Bone Armor cautiously followed Chen Bei, saying: "What kind of stone is Chief Chen looking for?"

Chen Beidao: "It is a kind of black stone that will attract or repel each other after being broken."

"Stones that attract or repel each other?" Bone Armor frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and said, "I thought about it, could it be the stones we give children to play with?"

"Bring it to me."

"Okay, Chief Chen, wait a moment."

Bone Armor turned around and got into a hidden cave by the side of the road. The movement was so fast that even Chen Bei was surprised.

The people of the Chuanshan tribe, the speed of drilling holes, and the concealment of the caves are indeed unique.

After a while, the bone armor came out from another cave, holding a few black stones in his hand.

"Chief Chen, see if this is it."

These stones are as big as a palm, and as small as a thumb. They are black in color, relatively brittle in texture, and have neat fractures.

Chen Bei took these black stones and found that they were glued together and had obvious attraction.

Bone Armor took two small black stones, put them on the ground, and said, "This kind of stone is too brittle and not hard enough to be used as a tool, but it's still fun."

The bone armor is placed with one side of a stone next to another stone, and the stone moves forward for a short distance due to the repulsive force, and when it is placed a little further, the stone in front moves forward again, which looks a bit funny.

The bone armor changed the side of the stone in his hand again, and the other stone was instantly sucked over, sticking together firmly.

"Is this the kind of stone that Chief Chen needs?"

Chen Bei fiddled with it himself, then nodded, and said: "Yes, this is the stone I need. I call it a magnet. Is there a big one? I need to take it back to the tribe to make some special tools. "

"Of course, Chief Chen, wait a moment."

The bone armor returned to the cave, and not long after, it carried a magnet the size of a millstone and placed it on the ground.

"Chief Chen, check to see if it's enough. If not, I'll send someone to look for it."

"Enough, if there is a need in the future, I will send someone to come and trade with you."

Chen Bei put the magnet the size of a millstone into the animal skin bag, and then took out a painted pottery soup basin from the animal skin bag on the back of the flamingo.

"This painted pottery is for you, Bone Armor leader, thank you for helping me find the magnet."

Bone Armor did not expect such a good thing, when a piece is given to children to play, it can be exchanged for a piece of painted pottery.

"Chief Chen is too polite, hahaha, Chief Chen, please don't leave. I'll take someone to dig a colony of termites right away. You must treat Chief Chen well."

Chen Bei thought for a while, but he was not in a hurry anyway, since the bone armor was so enthusiastic, he should stay and have a meal before going back.

The Chuanshan Tribe cooks termite larvae, and it does have a set, and the taste is not bad.

Bone Armor led people out, and they knew exactly where there were termites. The soldiers of the super group dispatched together, and soon dug up the termite larvae, and put together a pot.

Afterwards, Bone Armor wrapped these termite larvae with a large piece of leaves with a fragrant smell, dug another pit, took some red-hot charcoal and stones from the fire pit, and put them into the pit. Put the leaves wrapped with termites in, cover with a layer of red-hot charcoal, and cover with a layer of plant ash on top.

After waiting for a long time, the bone armor took out all the best food in the Chuanshan tribe and entertained Chenbei.

After the termite larvae were cooked, they were brought up. The taste was indeed unique, and Chen Bei ate a lot.

After eating and drinking enough, Chen Bei returned to the Mang tribe with the magnet.

After returning to the tribe, Chen Bei took the magnet to the stonemason and asked him to use the magnet to polish a few spoon-shaped objects with the handle pointing south.

It is necessary to chisel out the magnet first, chisel it to a suitable size, and then polish the bottom to make it slightly protrude in the middle, then place it on a smooth stone slab, let it rotate by itself, point to the south side, draw a mark, and polish it. Like the handle of a spoon.

"Boss, what is this thing for? Do you drink soup?"

The stonemason felt a little puzzled. The Mang tribe no longer like tableware polished with stone tools because it is too heavy. Many people like tableware made of pottery, which is light and beautiful.

As for the dignitaries of the Mang tribe, they like tableware made of bronze, which is more beautiful, durable and lighter.

"No, this is used to guide the direction."

"Guide the direction?" The stonemason scratched his head. With his knowledge, he couldn't figure out how this thing could guide the direction.

However, he still followed Chen Bei's instructions and polished a few beautiful magnet spoons, which were very round and smooth.

Afterwards, Chen Bei came to the casting workshop with these spoons polished by the magnet, and asked them to cast a few flat square indicator plates out of bronze.

"It is like this, square, round in the middle, and it needs to be very smooth. This spoon can be placed. The four directions of east, south, west, and north are marked in Malay on all sides, and the four corners are marked with southeast, southwest, and northeast. , four directions to the northwest, a total of eight directions."

Chen Bei drew a detailed picture and asked the craftsmen in the foundry to make molds and cast them in bronze.

The craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the foundry workshop is very high, and it took only a few days to manufacture what Chenbei needed.

During this period, the most time-consuming thing is to make molds, which need to be carved bit by bit, and are required to be very flat and smooth.

After the bronze base was made, Chenbei put the spoon made of magnet on it, and the spoon turned quickly on the smooth bronze base, with the handle pointing to the south.

Chen Bei turned the chassis to align the direction of the south marked on the chassis with the direction of the handle of the spoon.

In this way, all directions are clear at a glance.

The Mang tribe's first ancient compass, or it is more accurate to call it Sinan, was born!
Chenbei brought Sinan to Bibo and taught her how to use it.

Bibo knew Wu Wen, so she quickly understood how to use this thing.

"Great, leader, with this Sinan, we don't have to worry about getting lost at sea!"

Bibo was very happy. After this adventure, she deeply understood how important it is to have a tool that can accurately identify the direction at sea.
