Chapter 12 Charcoal is Better
Two small fires were ablaze, and all the tribesmen stared wide-eyed in anticipation of the result.

The firewood pile soon gave out smoke, which was very choking, because there was still some moisture in the firewood.

The flame fluctuates, and although it burns fiercely, the flame is not so stable.

On the other hand, charcoal fires have very little smoke, mild burning, and no choking smell like firewood.

But from this point of view, charcoal is already better than firewood.

Because the two fires were not large, they were quickly extinguished.

The tribal people are keenly aware that the firewood pile burns faster, and the charcoal pile burns for a long time after the firewood pile is extinguished.

"The amount of firewood is less than that of charcoal..." a tribal man murmured.

"But the weight is about the same." Li turned his head and explained, he had tried the weight before, and it was no problem.

"You have also seen that under the same weight, charcoal burns longer, warmer, and the flame is more stable, and there is not so much smoke. Do you still say that firewood is better than charcoal?" Wan stood in two piles of burning In the middle of the dregs after that, he said loudly to the tribal people.

The tribal people looked at each other, finally settled down, and shouted loudly in unison: "Charcoal is better!"

"But why do you need charcoal? Firewood can also be burned." A tribal man said suddenly.

The other tribesmen also reacted one after another, and looked at Wan suspiciously.

"Of course firewood can be burned, but firewood is easy to absorb water, so there is so much smoke. Burning firewood in a cave, with such a big smoke, can you live?" Wan explained according to the knowledge in her mind.

The tribal people feel that this is reasonable. In previous years, they burned wood, but it was warm enough, but it was so sour... let's not mention it.

If there is a burning material that is better than firewood and does not emit smoke, of course they are willing to use it. Who doesn't want a better life.

Now there is no doubt. Compared with firewood and charcoal, it is better to use charcoal, anyway, it does not take much trouble.

So the charcoal finally passed the test of the primitive people. Burning paper charcoal is included in the schedule of the tribal people. They need to prepare a lot of charcoal, and then spend this winter safely.

When the elders and children in the tribe burned charcoal, Wan was still not idle. She took women and some young adults who didn't need to go hunting to start making simple stoves.

Charcoal, while good, has its drawbacks.

The burning of charcoal needs to consume oxygen. When there is insufficient oxygen, it will release the poisonous gas carbon monoxide, which can kill people.

The solution is very simple, just build a few stoves with chimneys.

The best material to make pipes and chimneys is bamboo, but bamboo has not been found in other worlds yet, but it doesn't matter.

People from other worlds are all powerful, and if there is no hollow thing, then do it yourself.

Cut the wood directly into sections, hollow out the middle, and put them together again, and the simple pipeline is ready.

Lay these pipes from the cave wall to the outside, and connect the other end of the pipes to simple stone furnaces. OK, the simple furnaces are ready.

This kind of simple charcoal stove is of course not good-looking, it is a pile of stones and wood piled together, but it is practical.

On the night when all the stoves were built, one fire after another was lit in the big cave where the tribal people lived.

The flame warmed the cave and also the heart of the primitive man.

They sat around the charcoal fire, roasting the fire to drive away the cold of early winter. Some tribesmen also took out the stored dried meat and heated it slightly on the fire.

Enjoy the warmth of the fire without the pungent smell of smoke.

This feeling is something that primitive people have never experienced before. It feels amazing, and they are more convinced of their gods in their hearts.

系统：“信仰+12+12+15+15+20+25……”

Through the gaze of God, Xiaobai also saw the primitive man illuminated by the fire.

Looking at the smiles on their faces, watching them telling each other stories by the fire, watching them singing and dancing around the fire, Xiao Bai couldn't help but smile.

They say happiness is contagious.

The pure joy of the primitive people also infected Xiaobai.

It is true that it is very difficult to survive in another world. It is full of poisonous insects and beasts, and there are even huge monsters such as giant beasts and giant insects, but it still cannot stop primitive people's love of life and pursuit of happiness.

Their idea is actually very simple, eat and live.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that they believe in themselves, the god of death and life.

They pray for their dead companions and relatives, hoping that they can live in a better world, and at the same time pray for themselves who are still alive, hoping that they can live a better life. It turns out that they are what they yearn for!
Xiaobai has never experienced this kind of simple touch.

The world he used to live in was very complicated, and the relationship between people was even more complicated. It was because he couldn't adapt to such complexity that he finally chose to become an otaku waiting to die.

This kind of simple happiness of primitive people is something he never imagined.

Peaceful and prosperous years, you can eat if you want, play if you want, and have a lot of entertainment. As long as you are willing to work, you don’t have to worry about the next meal. More entanglements come from enjoyment than survival pressure.

Maybe, I missed too much.

"That's right, so, host, are you willing to protect them?" The system's voice sounded, without sarcasm, without daily hostility, very indifferent and calm.

"Maybe they are willing, maybe I hope they can live longer." Xiao Bai exhaled a foul breath in his chest, and said with a smile.

"..." The system fell silent.

"Ah, sure enough, I'm not suitable for a heavy atmosphere! Even if I'm a god, I want to be a god of joy. Although my priesthood includes the priesthood of death that makes people cry, I still want to be happy." Xiaobai suddenly stood up. Get up, learn the dance of primitive people, and jump around in the totem space.

'Maybe the one with wisdom in your eyes and thinking in your heart just now is the real you. The joy on your outside is just to hide the heaviness in your heart? 'The system said to itself silently.

"Host, what are your plans next?" The system suddenly asked curiously.

"Next?" Xiaobai smiled, his white teeth dazzling.

"Of course it has developed, more technology, more population!" Xiaobai replied as a matter of course.

When winter passes, there will be even greater changes next year, after all, the charcoal has already been produced.

With all the charcoal, can iron be far behind?
When iron is smelted with charcoal, the life of the tribal people will be improved, and weapons and equipment can be upgraded, so that they no longer need to fight monsters with simple stone axes and spears.

Of course, it’s impossible to have only these, Xiaobai has more plans, such as a witch doctor who can cure diseases, a wooden house that allows primitive people to live outside the cave, and clay pots that allow them to store water and cook soup, etc. wait.

But all this has to wait for the winter to pass and spring to come. By the way, how can I increase the population of the tribe?

Xiaobai's bouncing figure suddenly stopped.

emmm...it seems to be a big problem...

Since it is a big problem... then don't think about it, the happiness in front of you is the most important thing!

So he continued bouncing around (～￣▽￣)～
