survival in the wilderness

Chapter 26 Awareness
Lin Yan went to mark out the foundations of each yard first, and let the people who dug the foundations do the work first.Only when the foundation is dug deep can the house be solid, and no one dares to be careless.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Lin Yan immediately went to find someone to build brick kilns and tile kilns.

Now that the conditions are difficult, six places were selected for construction, and the caves dug out were converted into kilns.

Lao Hei is very experienced in firing, and Mao Mu also learned a lot from him, and the two took the lead.

Burning bricks and tiles is much less difficult than pottery. When they first started firing pottery, they started their practice by firing bricks.

Looking at everyone's efficiency, Lin Yan felt fortunate in his heart that Lao Hei and Mao Mu built the kiln when they were firing pottery, otherwise they would have to go through a lot of experiments, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

On this day, everyone in the Sun Tribe got busy.Everyone has something to do, and no one is idle.

Lin Yan was especially busy, and whenever she was undecided, she would come to her.

Shui Sheng and Cao Zhi became Lin Yan's right-hand men. They were older and smarter, and they could always quickly understand Lin Yan's meaning and convey it.

Xiaoshitou, Huahua and Yeya are also members of the follower group, organizing and arranging for the children in the tribe to do what they can.

On the evening of the first day, several responsible persons got together to summarize the results of the first day's labor.

A Lan was the first to say: "The woodcutter brought back sixty logs, forty logs were thin and twenty logs were thick."

Lin Yan was surprised, the efficiency was much faster than expected, and because of the lack of tools, it was difficult to cut wood with only stone tools.

"Really so many?"

Ah Lan nodded, "I counted them myself, that's all. You can go and see if it can be used tomorrow."

"I want to watch it later." Lin Yan couldn't wait. She seemed to have underestimated the people in the tribe and wanted to see for herself how they did it.

The most indispensable thing here is wood. There are all kinds of thick and thin, and materials can be obtained from anywhere. She always thought that it would be difficult to chop wood without sharp knives, so she postponed the plan to build a house.

If it wasn't for encountering a herd of beasts and destroying the cave, Lin Yan would have waited for this cold season to pass before starting to build the house.

A Lan said: "Okay, I'll take you to see it later. Today, 120 basket weavers were made, 38 fences were made as you said, and a lot of grass was brought back. The hunting team brought them back. [-] four pikas, [-] cubs, all raised up..."

Listening to Ah Lan listing all the data item by item, Lin Yan realized that she is also a talent, no wonder everyone agreed to her to manage the logistics.

Huang Ye was in charge of dispatching personnel, and at the same time personally supervised the digging of the foundation. This was the most important thing. She was very worried and stayed there to watch.

"The foundation has been dug in three places, all of which are 1.5 meters deep and half a meter wide according to your requirements."

Lao Hei reported: "Today, two brick kilns and two tile kilns have been built. They have been baked with fire, and the kiln can be fired in three days. The first batch of brick and tile adobes has also been made, and they are left to dry in the shade."

After listening to several people, they all felt that the progress was much faster than expected.

Lin Yandao: "Many people are powerful and the speed is fast. According to this progress, ten yards can be built in at most 20 days. The materials for other yards can also be prepared. After the bricks and tiles are finished, more man-made yards will be arranged. house."

"Yes, the construction will start when the materials are ready." Huang Ye nodded in agreement.

Lin Yan explained the whole process of building the house in detail, and they knew all the preparations that should be done, so they could arrange it so quickly.

After talking about the matter, Lin Yan and Alan went to look at the logs that had been cut.

Sure enough, there are many, a lot of piles.

"Alan, do you know how they chop wood?" Lin Yan was even more puzzled looking at the uneven cut surface of the wood.

Alan smiled and said, "I don't know about that. If you want to ask Dashi, he brought people to chop wood."

"I'll ask Dashi."

Lin Yan immediately went to find someone, and Alan followed.

Dashi thought there was something wrong. After hearing what Lin Yan said, he touched his head and said naively: "We use hemp rope to pull the big tree aside, and then use a stone knife to chop it down to half. Fall."

Lin Yan looked at the stone knife again, it was sharper than she thought, but it was not as efficient.

She found a piece of wood and asked Dashi to demonstrate.

Dashi didn't doubt it, so he did it immediately.Holding the stone knife in both hands, the stone knife is sharp at the front and thick at the back. When the knife is pushed down hard, the wood is broken in two.

Lin Yan looked carefully at the fracture, and saw that the five-centimeter diameter piece of wood was completely broken, and the fracture was not smooth, so he turned his head to look at Dashi's hands.

She suddenly realized that the stone knife was indeed not as sharp as she thought, but she ignored a problem.

The strength of the young and strong in the tribe is much greater than she expected, otherwise this log could not be chopped down, no wonder the efficiency is so high in one day.

In this world, not only animals and plants have been affected, they have grown much taller, and people have also changed.

Humans have strong physical strength and intelligent minds. In the past, they should have eaten raw flesh and blood, had a single diet, and lacked enough food to make their bodies not strong enough.

Recently, food has gradually become more abundant. After eating cooked food, people's health has improved.There are fewer sick people, and the old body looks refreshed.

Not to mention the children, they grow better and are no longer as thin as before.

That night, Lin Yan pondered for a long time and felt that the environment must be different.

The air here may be in an oxygen-enriched state, which led to a series of changes.

In an oxygen-enriched environment, animals and plants grow ferociously only when they are supplied with sufficient oxygen and grow vigorously.People also benefit a lot.As for whether it is true or not, it needs to be confirmed later.

Thinking too much for a while, seeing Lin Yan staring at the broken wood in a daze, Ah Lan and Da Shi didn't dare to disturb him.

They all knew that Lin Yan's mind was different from theirs, if he was interrupted when he was thinking of a good idea, it would be a big loss.

When Lin Yan came back to his senses, both of them looked at her expectantly, wondering what good solution she had come up with just now.

Lin Yan knew what they were thinking at a glance, and hurriedly said: "I just thought of something else. The young and strong in the tribe are very capable, beyond my expectation. It won't take long for the new house to be built."

This night, Lin Yan couldn't calm down.After realizing the difference here, a wave of worry arose in her heart.

An oxygen-enriched environment is beneficial to most life. Animals and plants generally grow taller and live longer.

Thinking of the pika she had seen, the size of the bison, and the appearance of some birds, these animals had grown several times, while humans had not changed much.

In such an environment, humans have no survival advantage.To conquer nature, it becomes more difficult to survive and continue.

But it is not without advantages. The environment is conducive to the growth of plants, and they are generally tall and the fruits become larger. If they can be planted, they can get enough food.
