Yang Yiyong bought a water quality tester from the mall to detect that the groundwater meets the drinking standards. There are no problems such as high water quality or heavy metals, and it is natural weakly alkaline water suitable for the human body.
The water quality was fine, which made Yang Yi completely relieved, and led a group of people to the new site again, preparing to open up a place to prepare for the migration.
The grass is overgrown there, and the best way to get rid of it quickly is to burn it.
The burned ash can not only fertilize the land, but also drive away or kill poisonous snakes, insects and ants, and lay the foundation for future farming and building houses.
However, the vegetation here is too lush, so a fire barrier must be opened, otherwise it will be very troublesome to cause a fire.
Although there are not many people now, the land that Yang Yi wants to enclose is not small.
One is to prevent wild animals and poisonous snakes from hiding; the other is to prepare for reclaiming the fields.
Don't be in a hurry to finish it in one go, it can be divided into several steps, first open up a place where you can live temporarily.
Draw a small area each time to cut out the isolation zone, and burn it piece by piece, which can prevent large areas from being out of control.
Yang Yi took out the sickle head and asked everyone to use hardwood to make handles the night before.
Everyone is not surprised by him taking out some things from time to time, and never asks more questions, which makes Yang Yi not as guarded as he was at the beginning.
Yang Yi also didn't want to be too cautious and delay his development.
Everything starts from scratch, not only against nature but also against time.
With the right tools, everyone worked very fast, and soon isolated a place for burning, and opened up another place to continue.
"Envoy, drink water." Mao handed Yang Yi the boiled and cooled water.
Originally, a little guy like Mao would not have been brought here, but he insisted on following Yang Yi.
The journey was not considered dangerous, and Mao had enough physical strength, so he let him go.
Yang Yi is very prestigious now, so he asked everyone to drink boiled water if conditions permit, and everyone did it even though it was troublesome.
As soon as they came here, they used the aluminum buckets they brought to draw water from the well, boiled it, and then hoisted it into the well to cool it down for everyone to drink.
"Thank you." Yang Yi smiled and patted Mao's head.
Everyone else is working in full swing, and Yang Yi is the one who has the most leisure time, and even Mao will jump around to help.
Yang Yi didn't want to be special, but his physical strength and ability didn't allow it.
Obviously he taught these people how to use the scythe, but in the end, everyone cut better and faster than him.
He mowed too slowly, and the gap between him and the others was too great. He couldn't help but was delayed, and his hands were cut by weeds.
Yang Yi simply gave the sickle to others, and let others use the tool to the fullest, no longer embarrassing himself, and surveyed and planned the surroundings.
Although there are not many of them now, they still need reasonable arrangements.
How to build a house, where to build it, how to ensure defense, field planning, etc., all need to be carefully considered.
Now we are laying the foundation. Only when the foundation is laid, will the future development and expansion be smoother.
Although Yang Yi gave up the goal of one million people, he also hoped that the tribe would become stronger.
For safety, but also for a man's ambition.
"You mean the temperature will get higher and higher from now on?" Yang Yi asked.
Focus nodded: "The cold season is over now, and it is gradually entering the hot season with the drizzle. After the hot season is the harvest season with the most abundant food, and then it will be the cold season."
Yang Yi can also clearly feel that it is warmer now than when he first came here, and it should be getting warmer slowly.
This is similar to the spring, summer, autumn and winter on the earth, which means that it should be spring now, the season to prepare for reclamation and planting.
However, Jiao only knew the situation of the Blackstone Tribe, not here, nor the specific climate changes here.
Jiao: "Currently, it is hotter and more humid here than the Blackstone Tribe. The Blackstone Tribe is very cold in winter, very hot in summer, and drier. The land is not as loose as here."
"The temperature difference between day and night here is huge. I don't know if the seedlings can withstand it." This is what Yang Yi is most worried about.
The new site is not as cold and humid as near the Black Forest, and the temperature is a degree or two higher.
Especially when the sun is shining during the day, you will feel the difference obviously, but the temperature here will also be very low at night.
Although he bought a lot of film, it can prevent frostbite caused by low temperature. But these are industrial products that require oil, machinery, technology, etc., and it is too difficult to manufacture them.
Unlike metal utensils, as long as you find metal ore, you can use some ancient techniques to produce them.
At most, the quality and efficiency are not too high, but it is not so that it can no longer be owned.
So Yang Yi doesn't want to rely too much on it, so as not to let this group of people skip the intermediate process, making it difficult to adapt to and unsolvable in the future.
However, it will not be completely discarded, and it can be used for the original accumulation at the beginning, so that their life will not be so sad.
Once everything is back on track, slowly try to get away from these hard-to-reproduce items.
"Envoy, I want to try." Jiao said.
Planting is not available in the Blackstone tribe, but Jiao is no stranger to it.
She had seen it in other tribes before, sow the seeds of plants that can be used as food in the soil, and after a period of time, they will grow fruits.
It is much safer and more convenient to do so without having to travel far to pick.
But Chief Blackstone was unwilling to try, thinking it was a very stupid way.
There is so much to eat in the woods, why bother growing them? With this strength, it is better to go directly to grab other tribes.
At that time, Jiao also heard that the harvest of those plants was not good, and sometimes nothing could be grown, only a pile of weeds, wasting energy and fruit, so he didn't think about it.
Now the envoy mentioned that as long as you master the method, you will gain something, and also described the beauty after planting—
Piece of fruit is at the door of the house, what a wonderful scene it is.
Jiao couldn't wait to try, even if he failed.
Since the envoy said that it is possible, as long as you are willing to put in the effort and use your brain, it will definitely come true!
"After the tribe migrates, they can raise seedlings first and then plant them in the field. The survival rate should be much higher."
Yang Yi intends to use those disabled and elderly people to accomplish these tasks. Those people can persevere until now, and they are in good health. Some field work can be done, and then they can divide the labor and cooperate according to the specific situation.
His space can't bring living things, but it can bring fertilized eggs, which can be hatched and raised at that time.
Those poultry may be a little small for the people here, but they are much more reliable than risky hunting.
Domestication of wild animals is a long-term process. Before that, breeding was mainly based on these.
Problems such as housing and well digging must also be solved, and daily hunting and gathering cannot be let go.
"Lack of people, lack of people."
Yang Yi shook his head and said to himself, looking at the rough plan in the notebook, he deeply felt that more than a hundred people were too few and not enough!
Fortunately, the efficiency of this group of people was very high, and a large area was opened up in a day, enough for more than a hundred of them to set up camp.
The well dug yesterday is now functional and can guarantee drinking water.
"We can move here tomorrow!" Jiao said excitedly, impatient to come here, and that's when the new tribe will be officially established.
Yang Yi originally thought that it would be too hasty to leave tomorrow, but he thought that they were poor and had nothing to clean up, so he agreed.
Come here earlier, and it will be more convenient for construction, saving you from running back and forth and wasting time and wasting manpower.
Back at the camp, everyone sang and laughed.
Maybe God knew that the Xinghuo tribe would have their own territory, and wanted them to have a sumptuous dinner. The hunting team had a great harvest today. They caught a giant horned ox and four bristle pigs!
Bristle pigs are not that big, about the same as ordinary pigs on the earth, but they have thorns on their bodies, which makes hunting more difficult.
Those thorns are poisonous, and they will soon be unable to move after being stabbed. And it is very hard and sharp, people here often use those thorns as arrows.
The giant horned ox is very difficult to capture. It is huge, and the horns on its head are its most terrifying weapon. The leather is very hard, and it is difficult for ordinary people to scratch it with a stone axe.
But the meat of the giant horn is very delicious, and more importantly, its tendons can make the best bowstrings! The leather is made into clothes, which can also resist certain damage.
Horns can be made into hard and sharp weapons, so although it is very dangerous, it still cannot resist the temptation of hunting it.
"It's all thanks to Rong!"
"Today, when the giant horned bull was about to break free from the rope, Velvet rushed up and chopped at the giant horned bull's head with two metal axes, and chopped off the head in one fell swoop!"
The members of the hunting team actively told everyone about Rong's bravery today.
Rong was surrounded by a group of people, with two axes on his shoulders, with a bright smile, very satisfied with his performance today.
But she didn't get carried away, and she knew who the biggest contributors were.
"This is the credit of the envoy. If the envoy hadn't made the rope strong enough for us to catch it, I would have no chance at all. And these two metal axes, if I only have a stone axe, I can't break its brain at all. "
"Yes, it's all thanks to the envoy!" The others also cheered.
Especially the one who caught the four bristle pigs screamed the loudest.
Even though his body was full of injuries, he didn't seem to feel any pain, so he was the happiest jumping around.
They are all ordinary people who are considered useless by others, but they managed to capture four bristle pigs together!
Moreover, without the help of any fighters!
This greatly increased their confidence, convinced that as long as they had the right weapons, they could also become the main force of the tribe.
Just like what Black Hunter told them back then, as long as they have a strong will and the right weapons, they can do well.
The Angels don't hesitate to give them the best weapons, so that they have the opportunity to show and prove themselves - they are not useless!
They were extremely grateful, even warmer than giving them food directly.
"It's all thanks to everyone." Yang Yi said with a smile, "As long as we are willing to work hard, our life will get better and better!"
Jiao suppressed the excitement in his heart, and took advantage of this moment to solemnly announce to everyone:
"We will move to the new territory tomorrow and build our own tribe with our own hands!"
