Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 5
After picking up the names as if using local materials, Zhou Xu subconsciously looked behind him, only to see that at this moment, more than a dozen crude animal skin tents had been set up.

It's really not that difficult in itself.

[The original tribe is almost like this. 】

Regardless of these for the time being, at this moment, Zhou Xu's attention is still focused on the work in front of him.

That is to make a fire!
Just at this moment, Feique and the others came back holding the branches.

"Let's put it here. Anyone who is free will come to help, tear off the bark, and then find a suitable stone, or a weapon or something, and start scraping this branch, the debris I want to scrape off."

Including Feique and the others who had just returned, the tribe members who received the order obediently carried out it even though they were hungry and tired.

He intends to save some wood scraps first, so that it will be more convenient to start the fire at that time.

During this period, Zhou Xu himself was of course not idle, he asked for a spear, and then dismantled it!

The spear of this era, to put it bluntly, is a piece of wood with a sharp bone tied to it, commonly known as a bone spear.

This one is rather strange, it is tied with a tube bone...

The original owner of this bone should be quite big, making the thickness and length of this bone basically comparable to his forearm.

Because the fracture at one end is sharper, it was used to make bone spears.

"Take this bone and wash it, I will use it later."

After stuffing the bone to the tribe member next to him, Zhou Xu took the animal skin rope used to bind the bone in his hand.

Then find a branch with suitable length and toughness, tie the two ends together, and a simple living tool is completed.

Needless to say, he planned to use a bow drill to make fire, which Zhou Xu felt was more efficient than drilling wood to make fire.

He piled some of the sawdust scraped off by everyone during this period of time on it, and then wound the fire stick he had carefully selected around the bowstring, and all the preparations were done.

Taking a deep breath, I don't know if it's because so many people are looking at him, Zhou Xu is really a little nervous right now.

[I can't drop the chain! 】

This is not just a matter of face, but in this primitive world, if he can't make a fire, then when it gets dark, he will be completely plunged into darkness.

And no one can guarantee how many terrifying threats are dormant in this dark night!

There was no delay, and with the pulling force of both hands, under the continuous pulling of the bowstring, the fire stick wrapped in the middle quickly moved at a high speed, which caused a burst of exclamation from the surrounding tribe members.

Although this is just a very simple structure, it is completely beyond the scope of their common sense, and it brings them a brand new shock.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xu maintained his high speed.

To be honest, this was really a strenuous job. After a high-speed twitch, his entire arm was already sore.

But he didn't dare to relax at all.

【Please, please. Hurry up and burn it up for me! 】

Compared with the tribe members who looked exhausted and skinny at the same time, Zhou Xu thought he was in better condition.

Now, in order to make a fire, he also tried his best.

I don't know if God heard his prayer, but with the rising of a wisp of green smoke, Zhou Xu's heart beat faster.

With his nerves tensed, after taking away the fire stick, Zhou Xu lay on the ground, holding his breath, and carefully moved the sawdust around him.

It was like caring for the most fragile baby in the world.

Gradually, the smoke became bigger and bigger, and the small spark generated by the friction finally turned into a flame and burned after touching the igniter.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu quickly moved the flames to the nearby stone stove where wood had been piled up and sawdust had been scattered.

Seeing the flames expanding rapidly and burning more and more vigorously, his suppressed excitement finally turned into a cheer and vented out.

The rapid breathing caused his chest to heave violently. Before this, Zhou Xu never thought that simply lighting a fire could give him such a strong sense of excitement and accomplishment!It felt as if I had accomplished some kind of feat!

After a cheer, Zhou Xu, who seemed to have remembered something, subconsciously looked around.

At this very moment, the members of the tribe surrounding him had already knelt down, bowing towards him and cheering at the same time, the expressions on their faces were full of fanaticism!
For primitive people, if they want to obtain fire, they can only pray to the gods for it.

In their common sense, it is impossible for human beings to obtain fire by their own strength.

But Zhou Xu did it!
Combined with his status as the 'chosen son', now the members of the tribe looked at him as if they were looking at a god!
Taking a deep breath and calming down Zhou Xu, he was still very satisfied with the results in front of him.

"Get up."

While talking, Zhou Xu handed the largest shell pot to Dashan.

"Go and fill the water."

At the same time, Feique had followed Zhou Xu's wishes and gathered all the insects they caught.

"These insects, everyone is like this, with their heads pinched off, and these are the internal organs..."

Although it was his first time to do this, it really seemed like that at this time.

"Don't throw away the cut off heads and internal organs. Put them all on Feique's side, and use these twigs to wear the rest of the bug's body."

As soon as I finished talking here, Dashan came back with a pot full of water.

At this moment, he has already set up a simple shelf on the stone stove, and at the same time, he used Dashan's animal tooth dagger to cut two small holes in the fruit shell pot.

Take a thinner bone, and you can pass through the two small holes directly, and you can put the pot on the stone stove to boil water.

Of course, this is not enough. Even if the water in the salt lake is boiled, he cannot drink it. What he needs is to obtain fresh water through distillation.

But right now he doesn't have any reliable equipment, so he can only rely on his divergent thinking to find a way.

He found a fairly suitable bone plate to put on it, and kept the bone plate at a certain degree of inclination.

In this way, when the water vapor rises, water droplets will condense on the bone plate, and because the bone plate is inclined, the water droplets will slide down to the bottom of the bone plate.

In this position, Zhou Xu directly connected the cleaned tube bone as a water delivery pipe, and the distilled water flowing down would flow along the pipe into the fruit shell bowl below.

The whole efficiency is not high, but this is already the best way he can think of.

During the whole process, the surrounding tribe members were also taken aback by the 'fresh water extraction device' created by Zhou Xu.

Although they didn't know what it was, they were shocked!
