"Is it here?" Duo Kang asked Shao Xuan as he looked at the coast that was getting closer and closer.
"It should be here, log in first." Shao Xuan said.
Hearing what Shao Xuan said, Duo Kang also greeted the other Yanjiao people, "Get ready to land!"
When the first ship at the front finally docked, Timber suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
When the others were stunned by the sudden roar of Mushu, Mushu jumped down, standing in the icy sea water, and the ground turned red with excitement. After laughing twice, he raised his head to face the boat. The other Changzhou tribesmen said, "Let's all come down."
Seeing this, Duokang was very contemptuous, didn't he just want to be the first person to land here? It was the same when I first landed two days ago. Mu Luck relied on himself as the leader, so he had to be the first to do everything, because it was recorded in the history of the Changzhou tribe. The first leader to lead a team into the sea, the first to lead The leader who crossed the sea with his fleet and successfully landed on another continent, was the first to reach this...
"What's the name of this place?" Mu Cao suddenly remembered, he still didn't know the name of this place, and did not know how the name was recorded? How to leave it to the future generations of Changzhou? After thousands of years, after a long time, who knows where you landed? Maybe when people land here again, they think they are the first to find it
"Crocodile River." Shao Xuan said.
Duokang, Guangyi, and the others all looked at Shao Xuan with busy faces. When was this taken? How did they not know that the river was called "Crocodile River"
"Just taken." Seeing Dokang's doubts, Shao Xuan calmly said. Then let people prepare to insert the monument, just like when they were in Yanhe.
Muca felt it was a pity, he also thought that if this river had no name, he would follow Yanjiao and get one for this river, Changzhou River, Changhe, Zhouhe, Mufahe, etc. I didn’t expect Shao Xuan actually gave it temporarily.
Woodcut is also unwilling to argue with Shao Xuan, and besides, he is really late to Yanjiao, so there is no need to keep arguing about it, but in the future, when he discovers new places, new rivers without names, he will learn from Yanjiao people and give Pick a name, and then insert a stone tablet with the totem pattern of the Changzhou tribe! He didn't believe that there was only such a big river!
Shao Xuan looked at the big river in front of him, which was actually about the same size as the Yan River, "If this river is the main river we know that runs through the mountains and forests, there should be crocodiles living in this river, but now it is During the winter, those crocodiles may all hide, or congregate in warmer reaches for the winter."
Woodcut nodded. He had been to the Yanhe trading area. He had seen people from the Mo tribe riding a crocodile from the Mo tribe to the trading area, so he knew what the crocodile Shao Xuan was talking about.
"Everyone, be careful. Although those crocodiles may not be here at this time, you should be vigilant! This is a mountain forest where vicious beasts live!" Wood fellers beat the warriors of the Changzhou tribe. After all, the Changzhou tribe used to be extremely vigilant. If you don’t get in touch with such an environment, you haven’t gotten used to it all of a sudden. Some people may be careless in some small details.
"I once saw a huge crocodile in this river. That is the biggest threat. If you encounter it, retreat decisively and run away from the river and the sea. Don't go to the boat. The speed of the boat is far less than that. the speed of it."
"Could it be the king beast?" As a member of the Mo tribe, Qing was very interested in the crocodile that Shao Xuan mentioned.
"No, I haven't reached the level of a king beast, but it should be not much worse."
After thinking about it for a while, Qing said to Shao Xuan, "There are no crocodiles near here, but I think there will be some things I need in this river. I want to go and see."
The people of the Shi tribe are good at water, and Qingyi did not enter the water at the mouth of the sea, but went upstream for a while. Others around were cutting trees to build resting houses, or hunting and preparing food. If he encountered an accident, he could also Call for help in time.
After determining the river section, Qing Yi took a deep breath and jumped into the water.
In fact, the people of the Zan tribe don't like winter, and they don't like icy river water, but in order to find what they want, Qingyi can't care so much at this time.
The power of the totem in the body started to operate, and with the appearance of the totem pattern, the skin of the clear body began to thicken, and the stimulation of the cold river water was also much weaker. After the fusion of the fire, the use of power is more proficient. Under the influence of the fire, the power of the totem has become more and more pure, and the production of the water moon stone has also exercised skills. It can be said that in order to save physical strength as much as possible, he can use the power in the body to Every place that needs to be used is extremely precise and will not do extra consumption.
Shao Xuan and Duo Kang discussed the layout of the camp here. They didn't know when they would be able to wait for the Taihe tribe. Just in case, it was better to prepare more, and it was impossible to sleep on the boat all the time.
After the winter, they don't know whether the sea near the coast will freeze. While waiting for the Taihe tribe, they have to learn how to maintain the boat from the Changzhou tribe, and they have to overhaul the boat from time to time. Can't use it, how can I go back
When building the camp, Shao Xuan also got some edible plants that were not available in the sea, or medicinal herbs that could be used as medicine, and planned to bring them back when the time came. The herbs that do not wither in winter are dug directly, and the seeds that are withered can be found, and the seeds are collected. Of course, if it's too big, it's inconvenient to carry. It may not be the best time to be replaced by methods such as layering, cuttings, or splitting. But Shao Xuan can't help it, they can't stay here forever.
When the people of Yanjiao collected plants or captured some beasts suitable for raising, the people on the long boat seemed to have reacted.
Shao Xuan saw that the woodcutting could not be idle all day long, and he led people around, "This, this, this, this, and this, they were dug for me and brought back... What is this? It looks so ugly, no matter what. Now, take it with you... Wait, who is that snake, where did you drag it out? It was dug when you were digging grass? I haven't seen the pattern before, so take it back. What? Forget it, just kill it and eat it!"
In addition to the time for building the camp, the wood feller and the people from the Changzhou tribe followed the people from the Yanjiao to dig herbs and catch wild animals.
After the camp is built, the surrounding area is also surrounded by a circle of tall tree trunks to form a wall, which can stop some unnecessary troubles.
Yanjiao discussed with the people in Changzhou and decided to reuse the trees here to build a new boat. This was planned before departure, so this time Shao Xuan and the others also brought some new bronzes, which were used by Zhuan for shipbuilding.
The shipbuilding technology of the Changzhou tribe has been improving. After entering the sea, they have seen the environment of the ocean, and the people of the Changzhou tribe have more requirements for the ship. Only by continuous improvement, the ship can meet their ambitions.
In the past, although the wood they used for shipbuilding was carefully selected, they even let a few tribes that depended on them plant trees, and then select the best wood from those trees, but those were not as good as the horns that Yanjiao cut from the mountains and forests. For those trees, they mainly used the wood provided by Yanjiao when they went to sea this time.
A lot of wood requires a lot of material to trade, but here, those fine woods are all things that have no owner. Whichever one chooses to cut down, as long as it doesn't provoke those hibernating beasts.
And since the Changzhou Tribe has better wood and new bronze produced by Yanjiao, the matter of going out to sea this time has also made the logging consider more.
They need to let the Changzhou tribe truly open a new era and realize the wishes that their ancestors have been looking forward to, and they must continue to transform and innovate the boat.
Due to the limitations of the wood itself, they have designed "building ships" to build heavy buildings on the ship as battleships or command ships. In addition, Timber also intends to explore a fixed route and find a suitable place as a port, which can support a large-scale sailing fleet.
They want to develop from an inland fleet within the mainland to a truly strong nautical team, and technology needs to continue to break through, anchors, sails, docks, paddle wheels...
Timber kept thinking about how to innovate and improve in his spare time. This voyage gave him a lot of insights. From time to time, a group of talented Changzhou people gathered to discuss. Shao Xuan once took a look at the paintings of Timber. The design drawing is very simple, and Shao Xuan does not understand the markings in many places. Perhaps because of this, the woodcutting is relieved to let Shao Xuan see it.
But just those things, Shao Xuan knew that the Changzhou people are indeed geniuses when it comes to shipbuilding. In the near future, when the people of the Changzhou tribe have more sailing experience, they may be more powerful than Shao Xuan thought. Much more, it will be more suitable for this world, the ocean and river environment of this era.
In fact, many civilizations that started with farming are more moderate. They are not keen on expanding their territories, but prefer a peaceful and moderate mentality, focusing on inheritance, and inheriting things from generation to generation, thinking that as long as stability and stability are good. If they are not provoked, they seldom take the initiative to attack the outside world.
To a certain extent, Yanjiao is also more inclined to farming civilization. Although hunting, although there are many wars in the history of Yanjiao, there are few active attacks.
The difference is that, like the Changzhou tribe, even if the tribe also farms, they prefer to sail, especially when the navigation route is opened, it will develop in another direction.
In terms of climate and environment, the ocean is far more unpredictable than the land. As the logging says, they must constantly improve their ships and tools to ensure that they survive on the volatile ocean with great power. The temperament will also change, no longer conservative, and more extroverted.
During this period of contact and observation, Shao Xuan discovered that the people of the Changzhou Tribe had begun to show aggression. Of course, this was not aimed at their horns, but at those unknown places and more. They are curious about people and lands.
"Elder Shao Xuan, do you think these are the water sun stones you said?" Qing Yi came over with a spar. During this time, he found a lot of rough stones similar to the water moon stone in the river. Maybe others may not be able to distinguish those stones from ordinary stones, but for the people of the Mo tribe, it is as simple as distinguishing black and white.
Shao Xuan took the stone, blocked it with his hand and looked at it, nodded and said, "Yes, it is it."
Handing the spar that had changed from the original stone to the water sun stone and handing it back to Qing Yi, Shao Xuan remembered something, "There are a lot of metals here, relatively speaking, there are very few beautiful spar, so a lot of them are very important to us. There is no practical spar, but it is very popular with people here. Those with a slightly higher living standard who are not short of food will choose some rare spar to wear, which can show their uniqueness, especially slaves. Lords, the rarer the spar, the more you like it, the more it can reflect their superior status."
Hearing that Shuiri Stone can be sold at a high price here, Qing Yi was immediately excited, but soon disappointed again, "It's a pity that our tribe is far from the coast, so it's impossible to come here often."
However, the people of the Zan tribe didn't have much ambition, and Qingyi only regretted it for a while, so he didn't care about it. Instead, Lumberjack was very interested in it. When Qingyi was talking to Shao Xuan just now, he kept his ears eavesdropping, because there was no secret that could not be spoken, and Shao Xuan did not stop him from eavesdropping.
Now, without saying anything about it, the woodcutting suddenly said: "Actually, you can make a deal with our Changzhou tribe."
Water Moon Stones are found in many places on the continent over there, and there are even many luminous spar stones similar to Water Moon Stones, but since now they have encountered a tribe that produces Water Moon Stones, Timbers will not let them go. next chance.
Their Changzhou tribe will continue to travel between the two continents in the future, and he even plans to open the first sea trading route, which may become a thorn in the eyes of those slave owners, but the people of Changzhou will never care, not only do they not They will shrink their hands and feet, and they will be more unscrupulous.
The first sea trading route... I can't wait to jump a few times with excitement when I think about logging.
After the camp is built, the first new boat will also be built. The people from Yanjiao will be responsible for cutting down trees, and the people from Changzhou will be responsible for building them. .
The changeable marine environment makes the people of the Changzhou tribe unable to bear it alone for the time being. They will continue to rely on the help of Yanjiao. When encountering difficult decisions, they will consult with Yanjiao instead of acting alone. They need to exchange interests with each other. , and achieve a win-win outcome.
As for Qingyi, he had offered to help, but in terms of strength, Qingyi couldn't compare to the Yanjiao man, and in terms of boat-building skills, he only stayed on making rafts and bamboo rafts.
When Qingyi offered to help, whether it was from Yanjiao or Changzhou, they all smiled and said, "Let's play."
Therefore, Qingyi is now focused on finding those rough water stones in the river.
After staying in this place for fifteen days, Chacha finally brought good news.
Shao Xuan listened to the eagle chirping in the air and said, "The people from Taihe are here!"
"What? It's finally here?!" Duo Kang, who was carrying the wood, threw the wood and ran in the direction Shao Xuan pointed.
It's been so long, I don't know how the old neighbors are doing.
