Yang Yi didn't expect Qiu Yuan to move so fast, but only ten days later, the group of ostriches were so obedient.
At least in his impression, ostriches are not easy to tame, and there should be no precedent for ostriches to transport goods on earth.
His whim was also based on the Goose King. As the king of the farm, those small animals are very obedient, and it is still possible to realize it.
"Are you sure that they can be transported in the wild in an orderly manner?" Yang Yi calmed down quickly while being pleasantly surprised.
"The wild is different from the tribe. If they are not obedient enough and get frightened, they will leave the team, which will not only lead to the loss of the tribe, but also make them quickly devoured by the beast."
The wild here is full of dangers. What this group of ostriches have to do is not only transportation, but more importantly, obedience. They cannot be attracted by other things while walking and leave the team.
Qiu Yuan pursed his lips, and finally said firmly:
"They can do it! Just to be on the safe side, I hope that the first few shipments can bring the Goose King."
Qiu Yuan was able to tame these ostriches so quickly. Apart from his own talent and the relationship he had established with them before, a large reason came from the Goose King and other colleagues who were close to animals.
Although he is full of confidence, he also knows the difficulty of this matter and dare not make it too big.
"Yes, as long as you can convince the Goose King."
The Goose King has never left the tribe since he was born, only occasionally rushing out because of expelling and chasing thieves.
Although it is now a tyrant with extremely strong fighting power, Yang Yi is not sure how it is doing outside, nor does it know whether it is willing to leave the tribe.
Goose King is getting smarter now, has a strong personal will, and is more self-willed than ordinary humans. You can't force it to do anything, you can only negotiate amicably.
Qiu Yuan quickly reached an agreement with the Goose King, but it took a lot of candy.
"I hope the ostrich transportation team can be reliable."
Yang Yi watched a group of people and ostriches leave the tribe in a mighty way, feeling very uneasy.
Because no one built the road, the road from the tribe to the coal mining area was not so easy, with thorns and steep slopes all the way.
Although it had been cleaned up a little before, it was far from the repaired road.
Although the trolley was able to walk before, the journey was very difficult, which made the speed much slower than usual, and the wear and tear was worse than usual.
Some road sections have to carry the car, which can be described as very strenuous, so it is better to pick it up neatly.
There are also hidden dangers around the road. Animals are always more sensitive than humans. I don’t know if this group of domesticated ostriches can withstand the external dangers.
The following personnel are also likely to be confused, resulting in heavy losses.
Black Hunter comforted: "Rock is a very experienced warrior, and he will take care of everything. Besides, there is still the Goose King. The biggest loss is just the loss of these ostriches."
"I hope so." The matter had already happened, and Yang Yi knew it was useless to worry.
"We still have to find a way to repair the road, otherwise it will still be too inconvenient and not safe enough."
The current road is very inconvenient no matter whether people walk or ostriches walk. There are obstacles to be cleared along the way, and some places are very steep.
Without a road, it is easy to get lost in the forest and be attacked by hidden little things.
"I continue to negotiate with the Green Python Tribe. Their attitude is not very firm, and it is still possible to persuade them."
"If these ostriches are really capable, we can free up people in many places." Yang Yi looked forward to it.
Now most of the staff have been deployed to the harvesting team. The weather is unpredictable now, and sometimes it will rain suddenly.
If it is not sunny, it will be very troublesome for them to dry.
Therefore, it is necessary to send more manpower to rush to harvest, otherwise it is easy to knock down the mature rice and so on in the field when it rains.
Now entering the busy season of farming, pottery workshops, timber workshops, paper workshops, pit digging workshops, etc. have all tightened up their personnel and poured into the fields.
During the celebration, a lot of dried meat was traded, and the hunting group also temporarily stopped hunting these days.
In addition to daily fixed training, it is also arranged to harvest.
The clerks worked even harder, helping each other while recording, but in just a few days, Yang Yi watched as everyone became darker and thinner.
Although it was very hard in the past, there was very little such high-intensity and high-frequency cheat work, and it was still very different from the past.
The cafeteria has put in a lot of effort recently. In addition to preparing three meals a day, it also has to make some snacks that are convenient to eat and replenish energy.
So that everyone's exhausted physical strength can be replenished in time, and nutrition must keep up.
"There will be no problem." Black Hunter is full of confidence. This is not blind confidence, but because he has been a hunter for so many years and knows the state of these animals very well.
Six days later, the ostrich transport team came back in a mighty way.
They sadly carry two large bamboo baskets of coal, and the heavy bamboo baskets seem to have no weight on their backs, and they still walk very gracefully.
The team is still as neat as before, but it is obviously much calmer than when they left.
The Goose King even raised his head, saying that I am different now, I am now a goose that has seen the market.
It strolled up to Yang Yi, its small eyes were full of arrogance.
"Goose King, you are really amazing!" Yang Yi handed over a piece of candy very knowingly.
After the goose king took it away, he twisted his buttocks and flew away, heading directly towards the farm.
The ostrich transportation team obviously started to commotion, and Qiu Yuan, who was sitting on an ostrich, quickly picked up the bamboo whistle and blew it, and the commotion stopped.
Before Yang Yi knew that the ostrich was willing to let him sit on his back, so he asked the logistics department to make a special mount for him.
There are not only stirrups, but also a rein, so that Qiu Yuan can sit on it without falling off.
Yang Yi also tried to get others to sit on it, but apart from Qiu Yuan, there were a few breeders who raised them from childhood.
Others who wanted to sit on it would definitely be thrown off and trampled hard.
If it wasn't for the fact that the person who tried it was a fighter with great agility, he would definitely be injured now.
From the goose king's attitude, Yang Yi knew that these ostriches also had tempers, just like fierce horses.
If you want to sit on their backs, you must first get their approval.
This kind of identification is not the taming of violence, but makes them feel friendly, just like Akimoto and the others.
Animals are very sensitive, especially the animals here are very different, they pay great attention to the connection of minds.
Therefore, Yang Yi took out some ostrich eggs from the space, and after they hatched, let the soldiers raise them from a young age to cultivate their feelings.
They don't have horses now, but if they can have a group of ostrich cavalry, their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
Ostriches can't fly, but they can run very fast and have very good endurance. If they can be tamed, they will definitely be no less useful than horses.
Qiu Yuan jumped off the ostrich, and walked in front of Yang Yi with a bright smile.
"God's envoy, we did it!"
"You are good!" Yang Yi stretched out his fist, using the etiquette here to affirm his contribution.
"Is this journey going well?"
"We encountered a group of shadow wolves when we went, but everyone did not panic. Under the protection of the guards, we did not suffer any losses."
Akimoto still understates the situation at that time, in fact the performance of the ostriches is very impressive.
Shadow wolves like to come and go at night, and are very good at hiding themselves. When the prey is not paying attention, they will suddenly attack and kill them.
Moreover, they often gradually surround their prey without anyone noticing. Their fighting power is not very strong among wild beasts, but like ghosts, it makes them very difficult to deal with.
The ostriches were very keenly aware of their movements, buried their heads in the soil, and accurately sensed the direction of their movements, providing accurate information for the soldiers.
So let the guarding soldiers wipe out the wolves.
These shadow wolves have been feeding the transportation team for the past few days, leaving all the dry food brought over by the people guarding the coal mine area.
The coal mining area is also established now, because the coal mining area is in a mountain depression and needs to be climbed to go down.
The place below has been cleaned up by Black Hunters before, and there are no wild animals nearby, so it is very safe.
It is also very difficult to find food. Every time, the transport team brings a pile of food to send there, and then brings coal mines when they come back.
Now a pulley is set up on the top of the mountain, and the basket is hung on the pulley to pull the coal from the valley to the top of the mountain little by little.
This is much more convenient and efficient than the previous mountain-climbing transportation, and the way people go up and down is also handled in this way.
"How are they loaded?"
"The weight is nothing to them, and a little more weight can be added."
Yang Yi thought for a while and said, "Add a little more next time, it's up to you to decide, remember not to tire them too much."
"Yes!" Qiu Yuan laughed, the envoy was indeed as kind as everyone said.
"During this period, if you run a few more hard times, make sure that the team members are used to this road, and try to let them leave you can work well. I think you can train more working ostriches."
"I can do it!" Qiu Yuan was full of confidence, radiant, and his distorted facial features looked much more pleasing to the eye.
In the evening, when Yang Yi and Hei Lie talked about the ostrich transportation team, the corners of their mouths unconsciously twitched.
"They performed better than I thought!"
Rock praises and admires this group of ostriches very much, and has already applied to adopt one.
Ostriches grow tall, and with their long necks, they can be more than four meters high. This has not really reached adulthood, otherwise they will be taller, and it is estimated that they will be almost twice as tall as ostriches on earth.
This allows them to see farther, easier to spot danger in the jungle, and less likely to get lost.
Moreover, their legs are very slender, and they are more stable when walking on some steep roads, and they are not easily constrained by geography.
It only takes six days to go back and forth this time, because it is not like before when you have to find a suitable place, and sometimes you have to detour.
"Rock said, it's best not to bring slow-running ordinary people with you next time. They can't keep up with the speed of ostriches. Even first-level fighters are struggling. Those ostriches run very fast. If Qiuyuan didn't control them, they could It disappeared in a flash of smoke."
Not all ostriches are willing to hump, so some people become draggers, otherwise the team can run faster.
Yang Yi didn't expect these ostriches to be so sneaky in the forest. After all, ostriches on the earth don't live in forests, they also live in flat places since childhood.
Hei Lie laughed: "It seems that it doesn't matter if you don't rush to build the road. It is enough to clean up the road along the way. If there are too many people walking, it will gradually become a road.
Now the Green Python tribe is still not loose, if we are too hasty, it will be against us. "
"In this situation, road construction can indeed be temporarily put aside. Our current manpower and material resources are indeed insufficient, and the pressure to build another road will be very high."
Black Hunter nodded: "Now we have more than 500 ostriches in total. If they can all be used, it will be a great wealth for the tribe."
"I have already provided another 3,000 ostrich eggs to the hatchery! After the eggs are hatched this time, in addition to the transportation team, interested people in the tribe will also be able to claim them, so that everyone can have an ostrich in the future."
At the beginning, Yang Yi had 10,000 fertilized ostrich eggs, and other common poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese were more, basically around 50,000, and ostriches and crocodiles were relatively rare.
I was also worried that the ostrich was too big, too much food, and the feeding cycle was longer than poultry such as chickens and ducks, so I didn't take out much.
It's different now, you can try to expand farming.
Ostriches are sexually mature at 2-2.5 years old, and generally start laying eggs after that. During this period, they can only be hatched by ostrich eggs in Yang Yi's space.
If it wasn't for worrying about accidents such as illness, and having to wait for the first batch of eggs to be laid before he could really rest assured, Yang Yi would consider taking out more.
"This is a very good idea!" Black Hunter's eyes lit up. "Ostriches have good fighting power. If they can be tamed, they can not only be used for transportation, but also have very strong fighting power."
The legs of an ostrich are very powerful, and it can trample a leopard to death. It is also a powerful existence.
"The members of our tribe have increased a little more." Yang Yi laughed.
It's really bright, the green python tribe didn't work, but they found another group of friends.
This group of friends belonged to their Xinghuo tribe, so they didn't have to worry about when they would leave.
"The Western Continent Caravan will also find a way for us."
Yang Yi raised his eyebrows: "Is there any news coming back?"
"This celebration has also spread to the ears of other Western Continent caravans. They also know that En's team has brought a lot of good things, and they also know our needs."
Jing and Yehuo left with a large number of teams. Black Hunter not only arranged such a task for them, but also asked them to inquire about news and publicize the situation of the tribe along the way.
Some of the pigeons they raised before have also been trained. Jing took a lot of them before leaving. Once there is any news, the pigeons will be sent back to pass it on.
These pigeons are very competitive, and most of them returned to the tribe safely. The number of papers tied to their feet can clearly know how many have disappeared.
"You mean there is already a caravan coming to us?"
Hei Lie sneered: "This group of businessmen are only interested in profit. As long as there are good things, they will come like flies."
Those caravans didn't know much about Xinghuo before, so they were not in a hurry. Now that they learned that En had exchanged a lot of rare things from Xinghuo tribe, they would never let this opportunity pass.
"Hopefully they can bring us good news."
"If what they bring this time is not what we need most, then I will directly reject this transaction." Black Hunter said very firmly.
Yang Yi looked at him: "Just metal, and livestock?"
"Yes, only for them."
Yang Yi immediately understood that the next caravan could obediently follow suit without any compromise.
The Starfire tribe now has an absolute advantage, so they can naturally open conditions.
Just like what the Western Continent caravan did to the Dongdalu tribe in the past, these people are businessmen, and businessmen are profit-seeking, so it is easier to compromise.
Based on the performance of this group of people and the analysis of his books, Black Hunter can be very sure of this.
"this is a good idea."
There is no need to worry about livestock at all, and the tribe still has a large area of land that is empty, enough to raise them.
Although this will require a lot of manpower, it can also free up a lot of manpower.
"Not only the Western Continent, but also some other tribes have also received the news and will rush over. After the harvest, we will send more people to squeeze sugar and wine by hand."
Sugar and wine are luxuries in the Eastern Continent, and they are luxuries that many big tribes are willing to spend a lot of money on.
In this transaction, the price of the Spark Tribe was significantly lower than what the Western Continent Caravan brought, and the quality was even better.
Compared with wine and other fruit wines brought from the Western Continent, they prefer the rice wine, wheat wine, and sorghum wine with higher alcohol content brewed by the Xinghuo Tribe, which they find more exciting.
They didn't take out much before, after all, they just had a bumper harvest, and they haven't had time to harvest the grain in the field.
Just a small amount is enough to amaze those tribes, and Ruanmoyingpao just took away some.
When I took it away, I was as careful as holding a golden jar.
At that time, Black Hunter promised that when the trade fair after the harvest season, he would definitely bring out some more wine in exchange.
Everyone also saw that the grain in the fields hadn't been harvested, so they didn't bother anymore. Before leaving, they didn't forget to tell them to make more wine.
Sugar is also liked by people. Sugar not only makes people taste more in the mouth, but also can replenish physical strength.
However, no plants with such high sweetness as sugar cane have been found here before, and most of them can only find honey.
The bees here are very fierce. Taking honey is a very risky thing with a high mortality rate, which makes sugar very expensive.
"I'm planning to go and have a look tomorrow. This harvest is relatively easy, but next time it will be hard to say." Yang Yi frowned slightly.
This time the threshing work was done by the pedal thresher that Yang Yi took out from the space, which greatly improved the efficiency.
At present, the technology here can only make rice beds, and people need to keep pounding on them to thresh the millet, and the efficiency will be much slower.
He has blueprints for pedal threshers, and he can also disassemble existing ones for analysis.
But this requires pure blacksmiths to hammer. At present, they have only had their own iron mines for two or three months, and the technology is still quite backward.
Even with specialized training, this is a technical activity that requires experience.
Especially this kind of exquisite parts, it is purely skillful.
And it's still the same problem, not enough manpower, now blacksmiths can't even supply tribal weapons, and they can't spare their hands to study other things.
Security is more pressing now.
"The thresher will not break down so easily, and it will survive this year without any problems."
Hei Lie was still optimistic, but Yang Yi didn't see it that way. Ever since the first batch of items broke, he was extremely full of a sense of crisis.
He is used to the convenience brought by modern technology. Although he is prepared, he is still very worried that he will start to regress after losing.
"Without those machines, we still have the power of our people. The tools are good, but it doesn't mean we can't live without them."
Hei Lie gently rubbed Yang Yi's temples to comfort him.
Yang Yi gradually relaxed and enjoyed the massage very much.
Now Hei Lie has not only developed the habit of cooking for him every day, but also often massages him before going to bed at night, so that Yang Yi can relax proudly.
I don't know if it's because he has grown taller during this period, and his body is prone to soreness, which makes Yang Yi feel uncomfortable all over.
It's not painful, but it just feels uncomfortable everywhere.
It's okay during the day, if there are too many things, I will forget.
When I relax at night, I feel very uncomfortable.
This is not the same as the previous physical weakness. It is a bit like puberty growing up too fast and not getting enough nutrition to get cramps easily, but it is not as painful as cramps.
As long as there is nothing to do, Black Hunter will talk to Yang Yi at night to talk about what happened today, so that each other can better understand the situation of the tribe.
He quickly discovered Yang Yi's strangeness, and studied more how to massage to relax Yang Yi.
It will make Yang Yi a lot more relaxed, and he will fall asleep every time he presses it, and he doesn't know when Hei Lie will leave.
Originally, Yang Yi didn't want to trouble Black Lie so much. He had more things to do than him, so he switched to someone he had learned from the medical team to help. The result was strange, although it was comfortable, it couldn't relieve the discomfort.
"Did you use divine power when you massaged?" Yang Yi asked.
Hei Lie paused: "What do you mean?"
"I used to think that those in the medical team didn't learn as well as you, so they didn't press as comfortably as you, but now I think it's not that simple."
"I didn't do anything." Black Hunter shook his head affirmatively, "What did you feel?"
Yang Yi grabbed Hei Lie's hand and told him to stop, and the two communicated face to face.
"I think you are exciting to me."
"Stimulation?" Hei Lie pondered for a moment, "You mean, my actions can affect your body?"
Yang Yi nodded: "I don't have any definite evidence, it's just that the changes during this period of time make me think it's possible."
"You mean you grew taller quickly, and became stronger than ever?"
Although Yang Yi is still like a weak chicken in the tribe, he has changed a lot since he came here.
In terms of height, he is already eight centimeters longer than before.
Physically, he is also stronger and faster than before, and his eyes are clearer than before.
This kind of change is not obvious. A little increase every day is not as big as the visual impact of height, so it is easy to ignore.
But when doing the same movements as before, Yang Yi felt the difference and reacted accordingly.
At first, I just thought it was influenced by the environment, just like what she brought.
But the difference in the massage effect, as well as some usual performances, made Yang Yi feel that this might have a lot to do with Black Hunting.
Especially a while ago, because of the celebration, everyone was very busy, and Black Hunter didn't have time to cook for Yang Yi. Yang Yi faintly felt that something was wrong, as if something was missing.
It's not uncomfortable, it's just a little subtle.
Because of this, Yang Yi didn't pay much attention to it. Until now, he felt that something was wrong when he contacted Zong Zong.
"I think you should have unintentionally used your power and inspired my potential."
