MTL - Travel to a Primitive World to Build Infrastructure-Chapter 11
Chapter 11
The appearance of Yang Yi brought too many surprises to the Spark Tribe, but when everyone learned that he would make pottery, he was still very excited.
The chiefs of the Blackrock Horde don't take these seriously and feel that nothing is faster than plunder.
They have powerful weapons and force, and can easily have what they want.
This is the idea of the chief and the militants who support him. Many people don't really like killing, but they were only obedient in that environment.
They are the 'weak' who are abandoned and looted. They are not constrained by that atmosphere and rules, and they do not want their survival to depend on looting others. They are tired of that life.
Moreover, they do not have this ability now.
Although the ambassadors brought powerful weapons, but the number was too small, plundering was likely to cause death and injury that they could not afford.
They want to rely more on themselves, just like the Blackrock tribe long ago.
The utensils Yang Yi brought before were too strange and exquisite. Everyone felt that it was a gift from God to them and could not be created, but the pottery was different!
They own the pottery, they can make it, they really belong to them.
The ambassador said that what God gave them would be taken back one day.
After being injured, it was not convenient for people to do too much heavy work. After learning, they also surrounded Yang Yi, not forgetting to stick thatch in their hands, and were unwilling to waste a little time.
To be honest, with so many people watching, Yang Yi, who was the first time to burn pottery, was really under pressure.
The method is to know if anyone can succeed in practice, no one can guarantee it.
Yang Yi carefully recalled the videos and tutorials he had watched before. He had a plan in his head before he started.
The yellow mud that was excavated last time was quite a lot and the viscosity was very good.
After just one day, it hasn't been dried yet, just need to add a little water to stir together.
"God, can I try?" Mao Kan Yang Yi and Mu Ba also wanted to try.
Jiao looked solemnly: "This is not for fun."
"It doesn't matter, follow me to learn, so it can be faster." Yang Yi also hopes to teach them as soon as possible.
Everyone heard Yang Yi say that, they squatted beside the mud pile and started to live.
Yang Yi planned to build a kiln first with clay. Because it is only a test now, the kiln is not large and has no leg height.
With so many people helping out, it was done quickly.
There is no time to make a drawing machine, so now it can only be pinched.
"Rolled into a ball with dirt, then slowly squeezed into a concave shape."
Yang Yi actively expressed his language. His current spoken language is still very bad, and he needs to speak more and practice more.
Knead the clay into a shallow, flat-bottomed concave shape, and then knead the clay into a strip of mud, and then circle it along the edge a little, so that a little net barrier can be made into a rough pottery bowl.
After everyone understands how to make it, they no longer stick to the bowl, pinch the jar and so on.
After kneading the billet, it was dried and put into a kiln. The fire started to burn the pottery.
Everyone was so enthusiastic that they made a lot. One kiln was not enough, and another one was quickly built.
With previous experience, this time the base is bigger, and you can put down a dozen bowls of different sizes. In addition, improvements have been made so that firewood can be burned more completely and more vigorously.
It takes a period of time to burn the pottery and cool down. During this time, everyone was not idle, and continued to make kiln and knead bowls and pots with the rest of the soil.
Yang Yikan didn't stop, although he could wait for a better method later, but he didn't want these people to skip this original process.
Only through step-by-step experience can you understand the principles and truly master this technology. You can't waste too much time and materials anyway.
It didn't stop until the previously excavated clay was used up.
Yang Yi didn't stare here all the time. After explaining the precautions to Jiao, he went to check the progress of thatched cottage construction.
Everyone is fast. Many houses have already been framed and are using thatched roofs.
Today's time is tight and materials are scarce, so there are not many thatched houses.
And the roof can only be made, and it will not be completed until tomorrow.
At first, the house was relatively tight, but I could sleep in a crowded place, and I was not afraid of freezing.
Seeing the progress here is pretty good, Yang Yi called two people.
"Kun, Fuji, come with me with an engineering shovel."
When they heard Yang Yi's call, their eyes lit up, and they even made up the past, and the others were envious.
"God, do you want us to do something!"
Kun said excitedly. He was the one who remembered his name by the ambassador and sent the task himself!
Fuji also quickly said, "God makes us strong, we can do anything."
"Your mission is very important." Yang Yi looked serious.
What is most important to settle down?
That must be the toilet!
The people here urinate and defecate everywhere. The odor in the temporary camp was not very heavy. It was entirely because they had just arrived and there was nothing to excrete without food.
The food has been ready for the past two days, and this problem has come.
Fortunately, they also know that the taste is not good, and they ran a little farther.
But it won't be too far. It is very dangerous to go to the toilet alone in the wild.
Yang Yi desperately needed a tribe to take refuge, one of the reasons is that going to the toilet has become a dangerous thing, and accidentally will be bitten by the poisonous insects!
He himself would not run far away to solve it, but he would know that he would bury it in soil later. He had to make a mark to save him from hitting the thunder next time, so that he didn't bother to eat.
Moreover, excreta can also be used for fertilization, and must not be wasted.
There is no word for toilet here. Yang Yi didn't explain much at first, but just took them to the corner away from the house.
"Dig a pit here, probably so big, one person deep." Yang Yi made a rough gesture.
Kun and Fuji didn't say a word, and they dug directly without asking.
The two moved very quickly, especially Kun, who took advantage of a fighter. When digging the soil, they waved fast. In addition, the land here was fertile and loose.
Yang Yi was not idle during the period, and moved all the wood and thatch needed for the construction.
Mao also slipped over to help and did not continue to play mud there. He is now Yang Yi's little tail.
Kun and rattan dug well, Yang Yi and Mao also moved the materials over.
The four started building together, and the toilet didn't need to be very large, so it was quickly set up.
Put a few thick woods on the wrists on the big pit, leave the middle empty, and you can put feet on both sides, just like the latrines in the countryside long ago.
In order to avoid someone accidentally falling, there will be a little more wood.
But they were not full. They had too little wood to build a house.
After it was set up, Yang Yi found a rattan basket that had been damaged during transportation, which was filled with plant ash and placed in a latrine.
"What does this house do?" Mao asked.
The other two were also vaguely uncertain, and they really could not see what the house could do.
"This is the toilet. In the future, you must go here to excrete. After each end, you must bury it with grass and ash."
Yang Yi didn't have anything suitable for shovel, and thinking that there must be something bad when the pottery was burnt. By then, a piece of pottery could be used to solve it.
Two big and one small faces look at each other, and there is a special place to use the toilet? Even in such a good house, the gods are really too particular!
"It is indeed a god!"
As the most active little horn around Yang Yi, Mao soon passed on the tribe's 'toilet' and the use of the toilet to everyone.
"If someone enters, turn over the half of the wood hanging by the curtain. The round end is someone outside. If it comes out, turn it back!"
Mao actively introduced every detail of the latrine.
In fact, the concept of taboos between men and women is not strong here. Yang Yi has seen a man and a woman work directly on the spot, and they have not yet established the kind of shame that later.
It does n’t matter how you see the other person ’s private parts. No matter whether you are a man or a woman, you can directly go up and ask if you are fancy of a certain opposite sex.
But it cannot be forced, neither men nor women can have more than one partner at the same time. This is also to avoid conflicts and not to confuse blood.
At present, Yang Yi will not deliberately break this method, but he will not let people with the same blood relationship unite.
But he still couldn't adapt himself, so in order to prevent him from being disturbed by going to the toilet, he made such a rule.
After hearing all of them, they all sighed, "It is worthy of God."
Only ordinary people can think of so many things they never thought of.
They are not ignorant of stinks, they are just used to it and have not thought of changing it. God knows that the messenger came.
Although it was very troublesome, everyone still accepted it, and no explanation was needed from Yang Yi.
The people of the Spark tribe now trust Yang Yi very much. Yang Yi often feels a little guilty of being too cautious. Many times he can take out some tools to improve efficiency, but he has not done so.
It is still difficult for Yang Yi to completely disarm the people here, and there is always a kind of alert from outsiders.
On the day everyone was busy until it was completely dark. Before dinner, Yang Yi went to open the kiln that had been cooled.
Except for those who were patrolling, they all gathered around and waited for this scene.
Opening the kiln door, Yang Yi looked inside and saw a broken pottery bowl, and his heart suddenly became cold.
He took two sticks and clipped the pottery bowl out of cheers.
"It's Tao, it's really Tao!"
Yang Yi frowned slightly: "Unfortunately it is broken."
"But we burned it, didn't we? God really cared for us so much that we could burn the pottery ourselves!"
Jiao excitedly held the pottery bowl that was only broken at the bottom of the bowl, knocked on the sound, and looked satisfied.
Some people also picked up the fragments and intended to use them as decorations.
Yang Yi saw that they were so optimistic, and they were not so stressed, and went to clamp other pottery.
The second pottery bowl is complete!
Succeeded!
Although rough, they succeeded.
Third, fourth ...
The pottery was taken out one by one, it was broken, but most of them were good!
Used to hold water without dripping.
Everyone cheered loudly, dancing joyfully around the kiln.
