Chapter 253 Building a Raft(1/2)

War has been burning money since ancient times.

It costs money to eat, wear, live and use, and weapons and equipment even more costly.

Just making a complete set of leather armor on the bodies of six tribal officers and leaders, Mo Ba took the tribe women to get up early and work late. I wonder how long he had been busy.

And this kind of effort seems to be rewarded without any slight reward.

In addition, making dozens of sets of rattan armor and leather armor also consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. If it were two years ago, the entire Ba tribe would not be able to draw out a single extra animal skin to do these face-saving projects.

Even if the Ba tribe is now rich and seems to be rich in other brother tribes, they cannot bear the plan of arming all the staff.

The number of hunters who met with the six clans this time exceeded 200.

All armed will be more than 200 sets of armor. If all of them are completed, it will be a considerable expense for any tribe. The Ba people cannot bear it all, nor can they afford it.

Xu Chen did not intend to arm all the hunters in the short term.

After all, they are just hunters from various tribes, hunting when they are busy, training when they are free, and becoming soldiers when they are urgent.

What you wear is not important, what is important is to be obedient and be able to fight.

What's more, other foreign tribes don't even know what the bow and arrow shield is. The Six-Grand Alliance has already taken an absolute lead in weapons and equipment.

There must be no opponent that can be found within a radius of thousands of miles.

But after all, they are all savage tribes that have not yet been civilized. They don’t know what civilization is, and they will definitely be extremely barbaric when fighting. Even if they can beat Xu Chen, they will have to face the huge casualties in their alliance.

Therefore, in his heart, if you can, don’t beat him.

It mainly focuses on deterrence and conquer people with virtue.

Make yourself cooler and more handsome, and start to shock your opponent with your appearance and momentum.

Just as hunters from various tribes like to hang their fancy bells and whistles all over the bones of beasts, it is not very useful, it is just scary.

If you tattoo a ferocious and domineering third-level head, it will definitely be more intimidating than a bare one.

The Cang people live on the banks of the river outside the valley and build a simple pier with stones.

There are also a lot of wood piled up on the nearby river beach, basically, they have just been cut down, and many tender leaves on the branches are still there.

"Moxie Gaga?"

All the hunters who came here were very curious about this strange thing. After the training, they gathered on the river beach to chat and discuss the use of this thing.

Because this thing was also seen by Ji Ju yesterday, there was also one on the river beach.

Of course, neither the Ji clan nor the Cang clan knew about it.

Because this was what Xu Chen told them to do after you started last time.

But no one knows what to do.

"This is called a dock, it is used for future boating..."

Xu Chen stood on the dock and smiled and gestured to explain.

Everyone:...

No one can understand it, even the Ba people don’t understand it, because the dock and the boat are two brand new words that cannot be understood at all.

Seeing everyone's confused expression and the twin sisters' desire to learn, Xu Chen gestured and explained a few more words, saying that the boat was made of wood placed on the shore, and people could sit on it and float along the water to a far place downstream. It only took half a day to reach the Gonghuo Clan.

Before Xu Chen finished explaining, the crowd started to stir up noise.

Feng looked at Xu Chen in horror and said, "Mu Piaoga, people die!"

"Damn it!"

Many people nodded vigorously.

Primitive people have different living habits according to their different fields of life. It has always been an ancient tradition to rely on their own mountains and rivers to eat water.

Primitive people who survive near rivers, like wild animals, can also swim, but most of the time they do not go into the water, because compared with the dangers of rivers, they prefer hunting in plains and forests, fishing only occasionally, and the harvest is relatively unstable.

As for long-distance drifting in the water, it is even more dangerous.

Not only is the water dangerous, but the hidden things inside are even more dangerous.

Underwater, like a dark cave, fills humans of any era with an unknown fear.

Xu Chen's explanation was that they understood that they were holding these woods and drifting down the river, so they all felt that Xu Chen must have been crazy and would come up with such a way to seek death.

Fast is indeed fast, the problem is that it is too heavy, and naturally it dies quickly.

It is already February, and while the rain is gradually increasing, the river water is also rising.

This river named Ji Cang River by Xu Chen is abundant in water. It comes from a hundred miles upstream. After gathering more than ten small rivers and streams of all sizes along the way, it is already very large near the Ji Cang tribe. The widest part is more than 30 meters, less than the thighs, and more than ten meters in the narrow part. It can reach the neck. The river water is clear and cold, and it keeps rolling and rushing. A piece of wood is thrown in and it is washed out more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.

This type of water flowing water is not only proficient in water nature, but even if you hold a wood, it is not safe. If you are hit by a stone in the water, you will be swept away by the water after being knocked away by the water a few times.

Looking at the nervous look of a group of savages, Xu Chen felt that it was necessary to let them witness their magic, otherwise they would lose their prestige and character.

"Your Majesty the Witch King, Moga!"

Watching Xu Chen walk towards a pile of wood, the twin little witch quickly caught up with her big crutches, grabbed his arm on the left and right, shook his head begging.

They were afraid that Xu Chen would not explain clearly, so they couldn't think of it for a moment and hugged a piece of wood and jumped into the water to confirm their thoughts.

Although they have no knowledge and culture, they still understand the simplest truth of "water and fire" ruthlessness.

"Don't worry, it will be very safe!" Xu Chen explained with a smile.

"The water is so fast!" The eldest sister of the witch was so nervous that she refused to let go.

"Don't worry, I promise nothing will happen!"

Xu Chen habitually touched the little witch's head to comfort her.

The little witch blushed and her heart beat, shyly lowered her head and let go.

She has been following Xu Chen for half a year and is very familiar with Xu Chen. He usually won't do things that are not very sure about.

When they were in the Ba tribe, occasionally when the two of them studied together, Xu Chen would touch her head.

But I didn't expect that Xu Chen would still touch her like this in front of so many foreign hunters.

This kind of touch made her feel an unprecedented quietness and confidence. She suddenly stopped worrying about Xu Chen and even began to comfort her sister without worrying.

"You all come here to help, and arrange for someone to chop some wooden sticks and prepare some ropes..."

Under Xu Chen's arrangement, a large group of hunters instantly gathered to help, and the Cang tribe also hurried back to chop wooden sticks and prepare ropes.

Not long after, more than a dozen pieces of wood were lined up in a row and placed flat on the river beach.

The Cang tribe hunters also quickly sent many wooden sticks as thick as arms and a large number of bark ropes.

Without sharp metal tools, it is still very difficult to build a ship now.

The oldest boat is a canoe, which should have been born in the late Neolithic Age. After humans have completely mastered the use of fire, they burned the trunks with fire, and then dug them into hollow shapes with stone swords and axes, and used buoyancy to row on the water.

However, not only is this kind of canoe difficult to manufacture, but it has a very small load capacity and is only suitable for waters such as small rivers and lakes.

It is not easy to cut down big trees at the moment, so Xu Chen, a small boat that is of little significance, has no interest in making it.

Because in fact there is a floating tool that is larger, more convenient and safer than a canoe, that is, the raft.

As long as the raft is well made, it can be used as a boat.

Xu Chen had seen people in Guizhou laying wooden rafts, hundreds or thousands of logs or bamboos, forming a super raft like a long snake, galloping down the rushing river, shouting horns all the way, and suddenly leaving like a group of gods.

There are not only pots and pans on the wooden rafts that can make a fire and cook, but also put quilts to sleep and rest. Only one skilled person can describe it as a brave person.

And the wooden raft is just a raft of xxxl.

It doesn’t take too many skills to tie a raft. At most, the ropes must be tied tightly and cannot be pushed open in the water.

With the help of dozens of strong hunters, more than ten pieces of wood were quickly tied together with sticks and ropes. For safety, the density of the sticks was very high and the ropes were densely packed.

The huge raft was completed in just one hour.

Xu Chen directed a large group of hunters shouting marching slogans, and carried the raft to the dock position and slowly put it into the water.

After the raft floated smoothly, he stood carefully on the raft.

A few dogs, a little dizzy!

Although Xu Chen has liked swimming in the water since he was a child, and he is not a landslide, the river water is too clear and it keeps rolling and flowing. It will start to be bad if you look at it a few more times.

"Soga~"

Seeing Xu Chen standing steadily on the huge raft, even the stupidest primitive savage had already understood his idea. Many people were even excited about this magical creativity, and many people were excited to jump on the raft.

"Damn, damn, don't jump..."

Amid Xu Chen's screams, because there were too many people jumping on it, more than a dozen people finally overturned the raft, and then a large group of people fell into the water.

Because Xu Chen was prepared, he jumped onto the dock with a steed stairs as the raft capsized.

Fortunately, the shoes were just a little wet.

But a group of guys who fell into the water felt uncomfortable, almost all of them were wet, and they crawled out of the water one by one, couldn't wait to take off their fur and armor clothes, and began to shake the water naked.

The raft floated smoothly again.
To be continued...
