But what everyone was surprised at was not pottery when the pottery kiln fired.

But blocks of bricks.

The principles of the pottery kiln and the brick kiln are basically the same, so it is also good to use the pottery kiln to burn bricks after slightly changing.

A heavy rain in the summer flood disrupted many of Wang Wei's plans.

The period when he was blocked by crocodile in the kiln room really left a serious psychological shadow on Wang Wei.

Although such an extremely rare thing is difficult to happen again, Wang Wei still shifted the focus of tribal development to protective measures first.

Using a pottery kiln to burn bricks does not mean giving up the pottery art. Instead, burning a few batches of bricks first, and then using these burned bricks to build a brick kiln.

After the brick kiln is built, the pottery kiln can continue to do whatever it should be.

On the fifth day after the summer flood, the tribe resumed normal production.

The water level of the river dropped rapidly, and the originally turbulent water flow became smoother again.

And the originally flooded river beaches gradually emerged.

However, the river beach that had just receded just now was covered with a layer of mud. It took a long time to clean up the crabs and shrimps. It took this summer to recreate the golden beach.

On the sixth day, the salt pond next to the river was cleaned up and put into use again.

The rock salt brought back by the crocodiles before the summer flood began to be purified again.

On the eighth day, smoke was shrouded around the tribe, and the royal family began to burn charcoal in large quantities, and half of the tribe members went out to log and transport wood.

Burning bricks, burning pottery, and even purifying rock salt requires a lot of burning charcoal.

Charcoal is not as resistant to burning as coal.

The upstream logging, drying, transporting, and then burning carbon requires a large amount of manpower.

However, no coal mines were found near the royal family.

However, after the exchange of information, Wang Wei knew that there were coal nearby several tribes.

Some tribes have even discovered that this black stone can burn.

However, in an era where trees were everywhere, these tribes did not need to dig coal specifically to make fire and barbecue.

What's more, burning coal with fire will always emit some yellowish-brown toxic smoke. If you suck too much, it will make people dizzy. Therefore, even if the coal in this era has been discovered, no one uses it.

In the future, it is essential to replace charcoal with coal, but now the road has not been built and the wheels have not been made, so transportation is extremely inconvenient, so Wang Wei has to endure the inefficiency of charcoal for the time being.

On the tenth day, the first batch of bricks fired in a pottery kiln were also out of the kiln. As soon as the first furnace bricks were out of the kiln, the second batch of bricks that had been dried were transported into the kiln room.

At the same time, the hunting team Wang Sun was responsible for will also conduct a rough investigation within a radius of more than ten miles with the royal family as the center.

With all their might, they hunted hundreds of wild beasts, but fortunately, they did not find any giant beasts near the tribe.

The so-called giant beast is a term used by people of this era for wild beasts that are huge and have broken through physiological limits.

Wang Wei had already discovered that the oxygen content in this world is much higher than that of the earth, so many wild beasts are very large in size.

For example, the dragon hunting gorillas I saw and the giant ape I met on the way back to Helium Festival.

These can be called giant beasts.

And those crocodiles, which are seven or eight meters long and can barely be considered giant beasts in terms of body shape, are not among the giant beasts.

It’s not because their size is not up to standard, but because they have not been able to break through their physiological limits.

As we all know, the larger the size of a creature, the more clumsy it is, and the more inconvenient it is to move.

Just like a human, an adult of 150 kilograms jumps off from a height of two meters, and he will basically not be injured as long as he does not sprain his ankle.

But a fat man with a 510-pound kilogram jumped from a two-meter high and would most likely die if his legs were comminuted and his internal organs were ruptured.

The same is true for crocodiles. The largest giant crocodile barely touched the threshold of the giant beast in terms of its size, but its physical strength could not keep up.

The three or four-meter-long crocodile can run at a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour.

Run at full speed and can last for at least three minutes.

This is because their body size and weight are matched by the strength of muscles and bones, and they move freely, and there will be no inconvenience.

But a giant crocodile, seven or eight meters long and weighing nearly two tons, will move ashore without the help of buoyancy in the water.

Their bone and muscle strength simply cannot support the weight of their bodies.

Even a momentary burst can meet the standards of small crocodiles, but it will cause great harm to their bodies.

If they are driven to run at full speed, they will be exhausted if they can't get it for ten seconds.

When on the shore, their size is not their advantage, but rather a drag.

The strength of bones and the strength of muscles cannot support their bodies to move flexibly on land. No matter how large the body is, it cannot be called a giant beast.

After all, the so-called giant beast does not mean that you are huge. You also need to have the flexibility to match it and have the ability to endure that is not inferior to your body shape.

If the above requirements are met, the strength of such beasts' muscles and bones will be ten times stronger than that of ordinary beasts.

Just imagine how terrible it would be to run a giant ape at a height of six or seven meters. The bones and muscles of the body can support the sharp turn or impact of it when it runs normally.

It weighs two or three tons, stops whenever you say it, runs when you say it, and falls from a height of seven or eight meters and can't die. Then its bone strength is only stronger than ordinary steel, and its muscle fibers are comparable to steel wire. The strength of leather can at least be comparable to the toughness of the seat belt on a car.

This kind of beast with huge size but breaks through the physical limits of ordinary creatures. Only wild beasts that are not dragged down by their body shape can be called giant beasts.

The number of giant beasts is extremely rare, but any one of them pops up is the one at the top of the food chain.

If a giant beast is angered, it can destroy a tribe at will.

The giant crocodile can touch the threshold of the giant beast, but it is an obese patient on the shore. Although he has a giant word, he cannot enter the ranks of the giant beast.

Only in the water, those guys who become flexible and free by the buoyancy of the water can be called half a giant beast.

As for ferocious beasts that are more terrifying than giant beasts, they are not included in the scope of consideration because they are too rare in number.

It is good news that there are no giant beasts near the tribe.

Ordinary beasts cannot withstand the expulsion of flames, bows, arrows and spears.

If they don't leave, they will have a dead end.

As the number of wild beasts nearby is small, the range of people's movement will increase.

The reason why Wang Wei wanted to expel wild beasts was not only afraid of facing the siege of giant crocodile again, but also to prepare for the next cultivation.

The wheat seeds exchanged at the Hehua Festival were about 500 kilograms. After all, it was along the lower reaches of six or seven rivers. More than a hundred people had rations for four or five days. They were all replaced by Wang Wei at once, so the quantity was naturally not small.

After experiments, the germination rate of these wheat seeds was more than 70%.

There is no compound fertilizer, no urea, and only struvite containing scales can serve as base fertilizer. The manure of pigs and deer is used during the rebirth of wheat seeds, so the density of the planting cannot be too thick.

For normal cultivation, a mu of land requires twenty kilograms of seeds, but if the land is not fertile enough, the planting will be sparse, and five kilograms of seeds per mu of land will be almost the same.

Five hundred kilograms of wheat seeds can almost plant 100 acres of land.

Compared with the entire tribe, this wheat species is like a drop in the bucket.

However, Wang Wei was not worried at all, the exchange price of wheat seeds was very high.

During the Christmas Festival, because there is nothing else, one pound of meat is exchanged for one pound of wheat seeds.

But at the end of the Hegao Festival, Wang Wei found the patriarchs of the tribes and told them that if they could bring wheat seeds to the royal family, one pound of wheat seeds could be exchanged for four pounds of meat.

In addition, if the pottery in the tribe and the salt is insufficient, wheat seeds have the right to exchange first.

Wang Wei has been waiting now, waiting for the tribes in the lower reaches of the river to exchange wheat seeds.

However, what Wang Wei did not expect was that after the summer flood, he did not wait for the tribes in the lower reaches of the river to come, but instead waited for the people of the stone clan again.

Every year after the summer flood season, it is the happiest time for mankind.

At this time, everything grows and food is extremely abundant. Even if there are only women and children, there is no need to worry about starving to death during this season.

Therefore, after discussion, the people of the Stone Clan decided to send some men from the tribe to work in the royal family.

It took a long time for those who have been to the royal family to explain to the tribe members what it means to work.

It is to go to the royal family to work, and the royal family will take care of their food and drink. When the work is finished, the royal family will pay them.

As for the name of reward, even if it is a stone, I don’t know how to explain it. In the end, I can only use food, pottery, salt and other materials to replace it.

The royal family has always had a good reputation, and Wang Wei's mellow and generous personality left a very deep impression on them.

If the royal family keeps their word, from now on, they will work until the autumn when the fruits are ripe.

The food saved is enough for tribe people to have a comfortable winter.

The most important thing is that the royal family promised that the food they gave them would not be filled with the fruits that were easily rotten, but would be represented by salted fish and jerky meat.

Shitou and the others had eaten salted fish in the royal family.

Wang Wei said that these fish will not rot after being marinated with salt, and even the salted fish made in spring can still be eaten until winter.

The only downside is that it is too salty.

But Shi Tou has something to keep in mind and doesn't say it.

It's better to be too salty, how much salt can you save this way.

What a happy thing it would be if everyone could bring back a basket of salted fish when they returned in autumn.

In the cold winter, it is snowing outside, and I can’t live a life of dying of salted fish and fruit.

Therefore, on the sixth day after the summer flood season, after the Shi tribe settled everything about the tribe, most of the men and more than a dozen strong women set off on the road, looking forward to the royal family with expectations and some anxiety.

This extremely incredible behavior, from the depth, is out of the pursuit of a better life.

The premise is that the integrity and strength of the royal family give them confidence in their commitment.

On the surface, it is a spontaneous adventure to live a good life.

However, if we follow its essence, it is actually four words in a nutshell.
