The giant natives of the wild world are now living a happy life after embarking on the road to civilization. They have greater strength, can obtain more abundant food, and do not have to suffer from hunger due to food shortage. They have the method of using fire, can eat cooked food to prevent many gastrointestinal diseases, and can absorb the nutrients in food more easily.
The use of metal tools has taken the lives of the giant natives a step further. While they can better utilize their own strength, they also bring many conveniences to their daily lives. For example, although they were not yet able to spin and weave cloth, with the help of sharp metal tools, they could already make better animal skin clothing. For example, they made metal saws and axes, which allowed them to obtain wood more quickly and use it to build wooden houses that were much more comfortable than caves.
Of course, as the first to receive guidance, the tribe now named "Yan" will naturally move faster on this path than other tribes.
As the saying goes, "Think about what when you are full and warm", after the "Yan" tribe solved their livelihood problems, although they did not really think about "what", they were indeed no longer satisfied with the status quo. They wanted to strengthen their tribe and were no longer satisfied with just a few dozen people having a small time, so they naturally turned their attention to the surrounding tribes.
As for the expansion of the tribe, it is actually a need for the development of the tribe, not just to rule more people or to control more power over life and death. At this stage, they do not have a deep understanding of power, and the chief of the tribe only has more privileges in clothing, food and housing.
People always yearn for a better and better life, and few people are satisfied with just starving to death. When people don’t starve to death, they think about how to eat better. And when people are not freezing to death, they will think about how to dress more decently. When "fullness" and "warmth" reach a certain level, people have to consider higher spiritual pursuits.
After the "Yan" tribe has stronger strength and a variety of better weapons and tools, of course the hunting efficiency is much better than before. However, after being able to hunt more prey, they will naturally want to enrich their menu, such as adding fruits, vegetables, etc. to the menu.
Therefore, in addition to hunting, the tribe also needs people to pick fruits and vegetables, and to fish. Just because of the food issue, although there is no longer any worry about starvation, it actually creates more demand for manpower.
In addition to eating, there are many aspects that require manpower.
For example, in terms of metal tools, someone first needs to mine the ore, then someone needs to smelt the ore, and finally someone needs to cast and polish the tools. Making leather clothes requires people, making pottery requires people, logging and building buildings requires people. The result is that the more the tribe develops, the greater the demand for population.
It stands to reason that after we have just stepped onto the path of civilization and met our most basic needs for food and clothing, it will still take some time for other desires to grow. However, the civilization of the giant natives was spawned by Ye Zan's secret guidance, especially the ready-made language and writing.
The language and characters currently used by the giant natives were "transported" directly from the monastic world by Ye Zan. However, the language and characters used in the monastic world are accumulated over countless years of development of monastic civilization. This also resulted in some descriptions in the language and writing being too advanced for the giant natives.
A normal civilization, in the process of the formation of language and writing, should create corresponding language and writing to describe the new thing every time a new thing appears. However, the giant natives did the opposite and obtained a complete language and writing in advance that far exceeded the current level of civilization, which contained a large number of descriptions of things that had not yet appeared.
When the old priests of the "Yan" tribe received language and characters, it was not simply the engraving of glyphs, but the meaning of the language and characters. In other words, the old priest completely "inexplicably" understood the meaning of those words describing things that did not appear.
For example, the language contains the word "house", but the giant natives who originally lived in caves did not have real houses to correspond to the word "house". Therefore, based on the meaning of the word "house", the giant natives knew in advance what a "house" was. Through the word "house", they learned that besides caves, there was another way to shelter from wind and rain.
Therefore, through the interpretation of these languages and characters, the giant natives seemed to have received divine revelation. They can know many new things in advance and think of ways to implement them without having to wait for a long time.
It can be said that the instillation of language and writing is equivalent to giving the giant natives a preview of the technology tree in advance. They can see how their civilization should develop from language and writing, without having to wait for an unexpected inspiration.
Another example is "wine". In the normal development of civilization, the emergence of wine may be due to some accident, which caused the stored grain to be fermented, and then people discovered the method of making wine. Perhaps, if this civilization had not had this unexpected appearance, the appearance of wine would have been delayed, and God knows whether there would be wine in the end.
However, before wine appeared, you already knew the word wine and its meaning, and knew that "wine: a drink produced by fermenting grain." So, can you try and see if you can get the "wine" mentioned in the text by collecting some grain
Why, after solving the demon outside the world, Ye Zan no longer needs the Lin family siblings to guide the giant natives? To a large extent, it is for this reason that all guidance is actually already in the language and words, so naturally there is no need for any further guidance. Unless the giant natives are so stupid that they are completely unable to comprehend anything from the language.
The reality is that although the giant natives are tall, they are not "simple-minded and well-developed limbs". As the only intelligent creature in the barbaric world, as the darling of the original will of this world, how could it be possible that he could not comprehend the mysteries of language and writing.
Going back to the "Yan" tribe, it is because they already have language and writing, and they have learned a lot from the language and writing. Therefore, even though it was only a short year, it was enough for them to make one "whimsy" after another and make the manpower in the tribe more and more stretched.
If you want to increase manpower and increase the number of people in the tribe, one way is to have more children. However, the waiting time between a child's birth and his entry into the labor force is not just a matter of years. Even a giant cannot go against the law of life's growth. A giant's baby is still a baby.
In addition to increasing manpower through reproduction, another faster and more effective way is to annex other tribes. As long as you annex other tribes and merge the populations of other tribes into your own tribe, your own tribe will naturally have more manpower available.
Therefore, expansion was natural and became the only solution for the "Yan" tribe to solve the manpower problem.
While Ye Zan and others were in seclusion, the "Yan" tribe relied on its slight advantage in civilization to launch a strategy against other surrounding tribes. By the time Ye Zan and others solved the demons outside the world and returned here, the "Yan" tribe had become the only giant indigenous tribe in the area controlled by the original Five Ring Tower.
In addition, because they share the same language and writing, and have the same belief in gods, the unification war of the "Yan" tribe was not so fierce and bloody. At most, there are some who are more stubborn and insist on holding on to the title of their tribe, and eventually die along with the title of their tribe. The vast majority of the giant natives are not very resistant to changing tribes. They have to work wherever they go.
After merging several surrounding tribes, the "Yan" tribe's labor force alone has reached thousands of people. As for babies, children, etc., they are not included. After all, even the so-called half-grown men no longer need to use child labor with the productivity that the giant natives have now.
After the population increased, the "Yan" tribe also re-selected their residence and built a large number of houses on the new residence. From the perspective of "normal people" like Ye Zan, this new settlement of the giant natives can probably be called a city of giants. But in reality, this is just a village with a population of several thousand.
In this giant village, the giants all have their own division of labor. The hunting team has not been cancelled, and will still go out to hunt on time and on time. After all, for now, hunting and gathering are still the tribe's main sources of food. In the village, there are also people who are responsible for planting large fields, and some who are responsible for breeding some animals that are being domesticated. These things can only be regarded as investments now, and the harvest will have to wait until a few months or even a year or two later.
In addition, not far from the Giant Village, there is a mine that produces copper ore, and a mining team composed of dozens of people is constantly mining ore there. Several huge rough carts, using wheels made of rounded logs, were loaded with ore and then pulled and pushed to the metallurgical field in the village.
The metallurgical field is piled with mountains of ore, and a dozen giants who have inspired and mastered the power of the blood of fire are responsible for smelting the ore into metal, and then casting various metal tools.
Now, the giant natives have not mastered the real forging technology and can only use simple molds for casting. This also leads to the fact that the performance of metal appliances is not very strong and there will be great loss during use. This is one of the reasons why they need to constantly cast metal utensils.
Moreover, even those metal utensils that are worn out can still be re-smelted and cast, but you still need to prepare some spare parts.
In the center of the tribal settlement, in a large open space, some children were sitting there obediently, listening to the elders in the tribe teach them language and writing.
Although giant children also love to play and make noise, there is no rule against corporal punishment here. Those who dare to cause trouble will really be beaten to death. Therefore, the children are still very well-behaved. Even if they cannot listen to what the old man says, they still have to act like they are listening carefully.
The "Yan" tribe has developed to this point and has done everything it can currently do. Although the giant indigenous tribes in other areas have no chance to send people to learn, they are all developing in the way of the "Yan" tribe. Maybe it won't be long before there are only a few large tribes left in this world, and maybe real tribal wars will break out in the future.
The civilizational development of the giant natives has reached this point, which is considered to be the limit at this stage. Even if Ye Zan makes any further guidance and interference, it will not have much impact on the current situation. After all, Ye Zan does not have the ability to change the flow of time in this world and double the reproduction speed of those giant natives. It can be said that population, the bottleneck of civilization development, can only be slowly solved by relying on the natural reproduction of giant natives.
Ye Zan, who no longer pays attention to the giant natives, is currently busy renovating their "welfare cave" with the Lin family, Cassaro and others. Kasaluo and others selected their favorite cave design drawings from the many models given by Ye Zan. And Ye Zan transformed those mobile fortresses from the inside out based on their choices.
"Actually, the appearance of this thing is not that important. The key lies in the internal layout and decoration." Facing a mobile fortress, Ye Zan sent out engineering robots to construct according to the drawings while inspecting the cards around him. As explained by Salo et al.
Not far away, a mobile fortress like a hanging garden floated in mid-air above the war fortress. On the hanging garden, the little fairy Lilia, who has become the god of this world, is flying in and out of the flowers with her tribe.
Lilia waved the staff in her hand, and rays of light bloomed among the flowers, making the flowers and plants even more bright and magnificent. As several obviously different flowers bloomed, new little fairies flapped their wings and flew out of the flowers.
The reproduction of the goblin clan is different from humans and most intelligent creatures. There is no process of "yin and yang intercourse". After all, among the goblins, there are only so-called "females" and no "males". In the terms of the technological world, this can probably be regarded as parthenogenesis.
In the past, Lilia, as the queen of the goblin clan, did not give birth to more goblins to strengthen the clan, probably because she was "relying on others." But now, she is already a god in this world. Although she asked Ye Zan for a hanging garden, the whole world can actually be regarded as the home of the goblin family.
Therefore, Lilia finally no longer has to worry about the survival of the ethnic group and can safely focus on the growth of the ethnic group.
