Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 86 Emergencies
Picking up the thing called 'coronagraph', Zhou Xu walked towards the camp as he spoke.

During these days, while polishing the coronagraph, he made gestures against the moving trajectory of the sun in the sky. He had already found a suitable deployment position, and immediately placed it there.

"I divide a day into 24 hours, each hour has six 10 minutes, and the numbers from 24 to [-] are engraved on the coronagraph, representing the various time periods of the day."

"After the coronagraph is put down, as the sun rises, the sun's light shines on the bone needles of the coronagraph, forming a shadow pointer."

Standing next to the coronagraph, Zhou Xu said while making gestures with Zhuang Mengdie, telling him the function of this thing.

"Where does this shadow pointer point to, the time is roughly what time, for example, now..."

While speaking, Zhou Xu confirmed the position of the shadow pointer of the coronagraph.

"Now the sun has reached the west, and the shadow pointer points to the middle position between fourteen o'clock and fifteen o'clock, that is to say, the current time should be ten 04:30."

"And we usually prepare to start a fire and cook after 06:30, that is to say, there are two hours left in today's working hours."

Listening to Zhou Xu's detailed explanation, Zhuang Mengdie nodded frequently, his eyes were highly focused, and his face was full of unconcealable interest.

The thing called the coronagraph made by their leader has a very simple structure, but the doorway inside is much more complicated than she expected.

The main thing is this amazing idea!
In fact, in this era, primitive people already judged how long it would be before dark based on the position of the sun in the sky.

But who would have thought that their leader would be able to use the shadow of the sun to make a more accurate judgment!

To Zhuang Mengdie, this idea was simply amazing.

At present, the people in their tribe are influenced by Zhou Xu, and their concept of time stays at most in the morning, noon and afternoon.

Limited by their original knowledge, once this 24-hour specific setting is added, it will be a little complicated for many tribe members.

Of course, there are also people like Zhuang Mengdie who quickly grasped the tricks during Zhou Xu's explanation.

If you want to establish a clear concept of time, this is a hurdle that must be crossed.

After having this coronagraph, the tribe members must be able to better arrange their working time and rest time when they are working in the future.

It's no longer like the original, it's all about feeling.

One was also arranged for the salt lake camp, and he took the one over for the grassland camp by himself.

From leaving to now, it has only been eight and a half days at full count. Due to the special situation in the grassland camp, there has not been much change, and there are only two more rejection horses.

Juma is not complicated to assemble as the equipment department has already helped them handle the parts.

After being assembled twice under Zhou Xu's command, the tribe members learned it by themselves, and Zhou Xu naturally didn't need to worry about the next thing.

Now, on the outskirts of the prairie camp, a number of refusal horses have been deployed. At first glance, it really looks like a military camp stronghold.

Back at the grassland camp, Zhou Xu immediately installed the coronagraph he brought over.

After confirming the time, Ye Jinghong was given the task of popularizing this piece of knowledge.

The time is still in the early ten o'clock in the morning, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the day has just started, just when Zhou Xu was thinking about the next time and what to do.

On the mound, Zhou Zhongshan ran over with a solemn expression.

"It's not good, there is a lot of dust rolling up in the distance, this situation is exactly the same as when the antelopes ran past!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed obviously.

Not because of the antelope herd, but because of the guys who are likely to appear with the antelope herd!
Without time to think about it, Zhou Xu rushed up the mound quickly, took the high point, and looked into the distance.

At this moment, the antelope herd was still quite far away from them. According to Zhou Zhongshan's eyesight, they could basically only see the sand that was constantly kicking up due to their wild running.

But Zhou Xu is different...

[Eye of insight! 】

As soon as the power of the mantra was activated, Zhou Xu's vision immediately became clear.

Looking through the tumbling dust, he saw the antelopes running wildly.

On the perilous prairie, running all the way like this requires a lot of physical strength. Under normal circumstances, wild antelopes would not do this unless their lives are threatened!

Facts were positive, chasing further behind the herd of antelopes, the expected figure quickly broke into Zhou Xu's field of vision, it was the group of centaurs that he had seen before.

【These guys really make a living by hunting antelopes! 】

Their hunting methods are still as sophisticated as ever.

With excellent archery skills, they quickly bloodied two of the antelopes, and at the same time, this is how they locked their targets.

The injured antelope will continue to accelerate and bleed during the vigorous running process, become weak, run slower and slower, and finally be stabbed to death by the centaur chasing behind!
Zhou Xu had witnessed such a 'performance' before, so he wouldn't be surprised if he came this time.

The only thing that makes Zhou Xu and the others feel nervous at present is the direction in which the wild antelope herd is fleeing, which is towards them.

If those centaurs catch up nearby, there is a possibility of discovering their camp!
This is undoubtedly what Zhou Xu doesn't want to see now.

However, just as he was thinking this way, the speed of the two antelopes bleeding from the arrows obviously began to slow down.

Seeing this, the centaur spearman chasing behind saw this, and his first reaction was to speed up and rush up to deal a fatal blow to his prey.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, burly figures suddenly rushed out from the lush grass nearby!
Two of the figures moved swiftly, directly throwing down the two injured antelopes, and with the help of sharp claws, tore open the antelope's fragile abdomen, completely exposing its internal organs to the air.

At the same time, several other figures stopped directly between the two antelopes and the centaur, and at the same time let out a menacing roar, warning the centaurs who rushed up.

Zhou Xu couldn't help blinking his eyes a couple of times because of this unexpected situation, which was completely beyond expectations, and then opened his opera-watching eyes even wider.

I saw that at this moment, the one who came out halfway and intercepted the centaur's prey was actually a humanoid beast standing on two feet!
They have tan fur covered in dirty looking dark brown spots.

It has thick legs, a slightly ugly dog's head, and ferocious fangs around its lips, exuding a dangerous aura in the sun.

Looking at this group of guys who looked so special, Zhou Xu was in a trance for a while, and three words subconsciously appeared in his mind.

[Hyena man? 】
