let go of that priestess

The corner of Ji Cheng's mouth twitched, and he looked up at the sky: "Okay, let me think about it, using the analogy of a spinning wheel, it will probably take a month to make a loom.

Coupled with spinning and weaving to make clothes, that is, after 2 months, I can almost become a man with clothes, and you can also change into more comfortable linen clothes.

But... In this case, there seems to be a problem. "

Ji Cheng stroked his chin and thought for a while, then shook his head:

"No! We still can't just keep our heads down and slog until we get the clothes out."

"What's the matter?..."

Jiang Hongdou looked at him helplessly: "You still want to... rest with me?"

"Oh no, this time it's serious, I think we have something else to do."

Ji Cheng sat up straight and said with a serious expression: "As I said just now, if we wait to make clothes, it will be two months later.

That is spring, the season when everything grows, and it may be over by then.

It's kind of a pity.

We live a sedentary life, not migrating. We should take advantage of this time to plant roots for our future.

Prepare for our future overproduction and entry into civilization. "

Chapter 27 Civilization Begins When You Are Full

After bathing, singing, and returning to the camp, the two made a decision to suspend the plan to make the loom.

Next, we must take advantage of the growing season of all things to prepare for future overproduction and entry into civilization.

And for the next action, Ji Cheng explained to the girl a little more about why as long as the production is over-produced, they can enter civilization.

In fact, this is also very understandable--

The life of migration is to run after food, and it may not be possible to catch it.

If you are not sure, you will eat the last meal without the next meal, and then cry and cry, aggrieved and doing sacrifices:

Lord God, I beg you to give me some food...

But settlement is not. Settlement means planting and breeding in the place where one lives to obtain food.

The overproduction of overproduction means that people harvest far more food than they need.

Then after eating and doing nothing, lying on the ground and looking at the sky, I will start thinking:

Hey, how many stars are there in the sky?Why do you move?

Why do things always fall down instead of up?

And so on.

As thinking spreads, science begins to develop.

This is one of them.

Second, in migratory life, almost all human tribes lived in tents, or in other words, it was just the animal skin on the top, and the brackets for erecting tents were taken anywhere.

Because I am not sure how long I will stay in one place, I will not waste time and effort on where I live.

Nor will it build infrastructure to improve the quality of life.

Anything that cannot be carried with you becomes useless overnight.

But living is different. If you only stay in one place, you always want to make your home more perfect.

This is accumulation, continuous accumulation.

And when the first point and the second point are combined and added together, civilization is naturally born.

Jiang Hongdou was stunned after hearing this, and concluded: "It turns out that civilization begins with being full and full!"

"That's right ~ completely correct ~!"

Ji Cheng clapped his hands and said, "This is normal, right?

If all the energy is put on how to solve your own stomach, how can you have time to think about anything else?

If you always think about which mountain has more fruit and prey, how can you build a place better and better? "

"Well...the reason is very simple..."

I just believed in Ji Cheng before, but now I understand it, the birth of civilization.

Jiang Hongdou nodded blankly, thought about what Ji Cheng said twice, and then grasped a key point.

She looked at Ji Cheng and blinked: "However, there is a premise for these, that is, overproduction can really be overproduction, and you won't stay in one place and starve to death."

"That's right!"

Ji Cheng shook his finger and said: "So this involves a problem, how to exceed the limit.

Let's catch more white birds tomorrow and try to breed them, and then find some fruits and plant them. Can we overweight?

Does not.

Because these foods do not meet one of the most important conditions - containing high carbohydrates. "

"carbohydrate?"

"Yeah, that's calories, calories, in terms you can immediately understand, eating high-carb crops makes you feel fuller.

Carbohydrates are an important source of energy that drives our bodies.

Most fruits contain less carbohydrates, and the flesh contains only a small amount of carbohydrates, mainly fat and protein. "

Ji Cheng shrugged: "That is to say, because the carbon water crops are not suitable for your migratory lifestyle, they haven't been discovered yet.

But in our side, this kind of food is the most common and main food, called staple food. "

"Oh......"

Carbohydrates, full meals, staple food...

In this way, there is a breakthrough in the problem of excess.

Jiang Hongdou thought for a while and understood: "So, our plan for tomorrow is to do this, to discover the carbohydrate plants that have not been used by humans here?"

"Yeah." Ji Cheng nodded, then paused and said, "This is actually very dangerous..."

"I know." Jiang Hongdou frowned lightly.

Ji Cheng was a little surprised by her answer, but felt reasonable:

"What can be eaten and what cannot be eaten is recorded in the clan, which is also the inheritance of knowledge.

Generally speaking, unless the tribe really has nothing to eat, we will not easily put an unknown plant into our mouths. "

"Well, you know..."

Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly: "Yes, this involves another knowledge point - generally speaking, food that can be eaten.

Ignoring animals for now, let's talk about plants. In fact, the poisoning risk of eating plants is even greater than that of animals.

Since plants cannot avoid predators by running away like animals, many of them have evolved a defense principle——

No matter who eats me, I will make it worse than death.

Therefore, if we want to find plants, we are going on the most difficult road.

It's like my Shennong there... well, nothing.

Anyway..."

Ji Cheng spread his hands: "As the pioneer explorers of this world, the next action must be dangerous, and we must be prepared."

"Well, tell me." Jiang Hongdou fully understood that Ji Cheng had preparations, which made her feel relieved, but her face was still serious:

"What are we going to do?"

"First of all, bring enough fresh water to keep it cool."

Ji Cheng said: "First of all, the search process will definitely take a long time, we have to drink water outdoors.

Second, when trying unknown plants and receiving external damage, it is used to clean the affected parts such as the skin, lips or tongue. "

"Okay, I'll boil the water later."

Jiang Hongdou pointed to the container that was fired during this period of time: "There are a lot of water jars suitable for the road, and they are enough."

"Yeah." Ji Cheng glanced around, nodded, and continued:

"Then we need to prepare salt water. What I just said is external damage, but this is used to induce vomiting when something unexpected happens inside after eating it.

Oh, by the way, in fact, you can also add some charcoal powder and stir it in, stir it into a paste and then take it, the effect is even better——

Either I couldn't swallow the paste when I drank it, and it had an emetic effect, or I swallowed it so the charcoal would absorb a little of the toxins in my body. "

"Eh?" Jiang Hongdou sensed the meaning of Ji Cheng's words, and was startled: "You mean, you are the only one who will try unknown plants tomorrow?"

"of course."

"but......"

"It's nothing good but huh."

Ji Cheng interrupted: "Don't forget that my emergency survival knowledge is qualified, and I have detailed knowledge of edibility testing, so the possibility of being completely poisoned is much smaller than yours.

And what you are more suitable for is to help me time as accurately as possible when I try.

For example, the third step of the edibility test: When the corner of the mouth is used to lightly touch the crop to be determined, wait for 3 minutes after the touch is completed.

You have to read it silently and remind me in 15 minutes. "

"Oh..." Jiang Hongdou pursed her lips and answered.

This division of labor...is very reasonable, but she still can't hide the worry and confusion in her brows.

After a while, she looked up at Ji Cheng and whispered, "Ji Cheng...if it's too dangerous, why don't we give up looking for carbohydrate plants?"

"forgive me......"

Ji Cheng smiled wryly when he heard the words: "That means giving up overproduction, and our sedentary life will eventually turn into migration.

Then, just like the people here, I run around all day to get enough to eat, and I can't do anything else.

I don't want it, it's more interesting to develop civilization. "

Chapter 28 Will That Man Evolve?

In order to bury the root system in the future, the search for carbon water begins.

In the early morning, in the forest, the two moved cautiously.

Different from going into the forest in the past, this time they took the initiative to approach those plants that they didn't understand at all and that might be extremely dangerous.

Not fruit, vines or hemp.

So this process of exploration naturally needs to be careful, even the first touch must be careful——

According to Ji Cheng, in his original Blue Star, there was a plant called the Australian thorn bush, also known as the 'suicide plant'.

People and animals will commit suicide because of the unbearable pain caused by its toxin after ingestion.

And even if you don't eat it, if you just touch it, the hollow hairs containing neurotoxins will cause intense pain.

It feels like being splashed with strong acid, or getting an electric shock.

The former is sour, ginger and red beans can't understand, but the latter is already shuddering just thinking about it.

Got struck by lightning...

Sure enough, this operation is very dangerous!  …

Even in the records of the clan, there is no record of such a terrifying plant.

Jiang Hongdou, who was frightened, misunderstood, electric shock is not the same as being struck by lightning, it is not of the same magnitude.

But she didn't know, she just had a serious expression, her face was tense, and she held the frame in her hand, as if she was facing a big enemy, she kept her formation strictly.
