Chapter 1195: Light up the Technology Tree for Primitive People
The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!
In such a primitive society with extremely backward productivity, it is impossible for those giant natives to "eat their fill". Therefore, after having some food in their stomachs, they basically rest and gain weight, and no one will do exercise to lose weight.
Moreover, before nightfall, the giant natives were already getting ready to go to bed, after all, there were no other entertainment items.
In fact, not to mention the giant natives, even in the more civilized and advanced world of cultivation, the vast majority of people are ready to go to bed after dark. Only those officials and businessmen will have the ability and opportunity to go to those brothels and Chu houses for entertainment at night.
The so-called "nightlife", including staying at home and staying up all night, is probably only enjoyed by people in the technological world. Whether it’s going to a bar, singing, eating barbecue, or just playing games online at home, the rich have the nightlife of the rich, and the poor have their pastimes.
This tribe of giant natives has not even formed a language and characters, so they have no chance to read a book at night, except for creating humans, they can only sleep.
The giant natives don't know how to build a house yet, so the place they live in is actually an extremely huge cave. This is extremely huge, of course, from the perspective of "normal people", and these giants are barely enough to block the wind and rain.
As soon as it got dark, the giant natives had already arrived at the cave, and then a few strong giants moved thick logs to cover the entrance of the cave. They are just a bit taller, and like "normal people", they are afraid of any beasts or poisonous snakes running in when they are sleeping.
As the sky turned darker, due to the absence of bonfires, the cave was almost invisible. At the same time, some giant natives who were in their prime started the only entertainment at night and began to work hard to create new life.
Fortunately, the targets selected by Ye Zan are an old man and a young man, and they have already fallen asleep by now.
The old man was lying near the entrance of the cave. There was almost no pavement on the ground, only the "stones" that hurt people were cleared away. Sleeping at the entrance of the cave also has another function, that is, if any beast rushes in from the outside, it can "block robbery" for other people in the tribe. This sounds cruel, but if it wasn't for this effect, I'm afraid he would have even less food.
Don't talk about respecting the old and loving the young, a group that has not even formed a language and writing, now it can only be regarded as a group of social animals. There is a saying in the ancient Hua country, "If you have a warehouse, you will know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace." These giant natives are far from that level.
"Well, what is this place?" The old man suddenly found himself in a strange place not long after he fell asleep, and looked around curiously and worriedly. And his question is not what he said, but what he thinks in his heart. After all, even if there is no standardized language, he can still know what he is thinking, and there will always be something he wants to express.
The old man looked around and found that the strange place he was in looked a bit like a cave where he lived, but it was very different from the cave. For example, the well-known caves are usually round, and there are always protruding stones inside. But now, the cave he saw in his eyes not only looked square, but also the cave walls were regular and even smooth.
After looking around for a while, the old man felt that there was no danger, so he boldly started to walk around, wanting to learn more about this strange cave. He came to a "cave wall" and found that there was actually something on the smooth cave wall, which was a series of scratches forming strange patterns.
Although the native giants do not have writing, they still have some instincts for remembering things, or it can be said to be the budding teeth of writing. It's just that they often follow their own ideas, and draw whatever they want,
As a result, I may not be able to understand what I wrote down later.
But now, facing the "graphics" on the cave wall, even though he had never seen it before, the old man understood it the first time he saw it.
"These... So this figure means this... That figure can express that meaning..." The old man looked at the figures on the wall very carefully, and the more he looked at them, the more excited he became. He was unable to express his original thoughts, but now he finally had a way to express them, and he felt extremely happy in his heart.
While reading, the old man also broke through and remembered, if he wrote down these graphics, wouldn't he be able to record something in the future? Although the living conditions of the tribe are very harsh, and there are almost no special things in ordinary times, there will be some things worth recording after all.
So, after reading all the graphs, the old man went back to the beginning and touched the graphs one by one. He read it very carefully this time, and touched each pattern many times with his hands, so that he could remember how to draw such a pattern.
In fact, under the control of the Lin family siblings, even if the old man wakes up from his dream now, he can still write down these words clearly. However, the old man didn't know that he was guided by others in a dream, so he naturally didn't know whether he could write down these things. Therefore, in order not to miss such an opportunity, the old man didn't intend to be lazy at all, so he fumbled around learning one by one.
On the other hand, the giant boy chosen by Ye Zan and others had a much better sleeping place than the old man. After all, even primitive people know that children are related to the reproduction of the tribe. Therefore, even if they don't hold their children in their hands, they will still give them some "preferential treatment" to a certain extent.
This boy not only slept in the cave, but also had a few pieces of animal skins under his body, which was much more comfortable than the old man's.
At this time, the boy also entered the dream, but what he saw was different from what the old man saw. The boy's dream was like returning to the daytime of the tribe, and he was in front of the cave where the tribe lived. The young man didn't know that he was dreaming, but he was looking forward to the return of the hunters as usual, while looking around boredly, looking for something interesting to play with.
Then, the boy saw a black-looking stone on the ground, and for some reason, he stretched out his hand to pick it up. He took this stone and knocked it on the rock next to it with a little force, and immediately saw sparks splashing in all directions. Some sparks fell into some withered grass, and soon plumes of smoke rose, and flames came out.
In fact, if it was in reality, if the boy saw such a scene, his first instinct would be to throw the stone and run to the adults in the tribe for help. After all, they don't know how to use fire yet, just like other beasts, they also have a considerable sense of fear of fire.
But in the dream, the boy was not so much doing these things as watching them happen. In other words, the him in the dream was not him, at least not the one who would do all the normal reactions when he was awake during the day.
Therefore, after the boy saw the withered grass igniting flames, not only did he not rush to find the adults in a panic, but he even picked up some branches and added them to the pile of withered grass little by little. Moreover, the way he added firewood did not look like a beginner at all, and he did not make any beginner's mistakes, allowing the flame to burn smoothly.
After the flames ignited, the boy ran to move some stones, surrounded the fire, and formed a rough-looking stone furnace.
With the stove, what can it be used for? The boy stood there, adding some firewood from time to time, while looking around for "inspiration". Soon, not far away, he saw a "thin" stone slab, which seemed to be suitable for covering the stove.
So, the young man dropped the firewood in his hand, ran over and brought the stone slab over, and it happened to cover the stove. As the flames continued to lick the bottom of the slate, the top of the slate was quickly burned very hot. And the young man was also very "smart", and immediately knew that the stone slab could not be touched with hands, but it could be used to put some food.
There is no logic in dreams! Just now, the boy was still waiting at the entrance of the cave for the return of the hunting adults, but now it was time to distribute the food. As a result, there was an extra piece of bloody animal meat in the boy's hand, which was then placed on the hot stone slab.
The sound of "hissing", accompanied by the aroma of barbecue, made the boy waiting by the stove swallow his saliva.
Using the firewood he picked up, the young man picked out the animal meat on the slate, letting the other side of the piece of animal meat be roasted by the slate. The boy who was grilling meat for the first time saw that the grilled meat was edible with a lot of "experience", so he picked up the grilled meat with a wooden stick.
"It's so delicious!" The boy bit off a piece of meat and found that the roasted meat was much more delicious than the usual raw meat.
An old man and a young man each have different dreams. The old man learned words in his dream, and at the same time he learned language unconsciously. But the young man learned how to make a fire, learn to use fire to grill food, and know the delicacy of cooked food.
Because everything in this world is huge, even the natives have huge bodies. Therefore, the use of fire is indeed a big problem here. After all, if these giants use the bonfire of "normal people", it is like a big man going through a needle and thread, and there is no way to grill food. However, if they use a "campfire" that suits their body type, they face the problem that the fire is difficult to control.
After all, if a giant more than ten feet tall scaled up a bonfire in the same proportion, it would be like setting Notre Dame Cathedral on fire, how could it be used to barbecue food. But, as this teenager did, as long as the fire is surrounded, there is a transition between the fire and the food, and it can be used to grill food.
Don't underestimate this as just one more slate! If there is no guidance from Ye Zan, let these giants think for themselves. I really don't know when they will think of using the power of fire in this way.
At dawn, the giants in the cave woke up one after another. The old man at the entrance of the cave and the young man inside the cave also sat up from the ground. However, after the two sat up, they both seemed to be lost in thought, recalling their respective experiences in the dream.
"I know how to record it! I went to a strange place last night and learned how to record it there. I believe it must be a gift from the gods!" After recalling the dream, the old man found that he clearly remembered everything in the dream. In the language of the tribe, he spoke loudly to everyone.
If the old man just said that he has learned to write, I am afraid that those people in the tribe may not pay attention to him. However, the old man mentioned the gods and described learning to write as a gift from the gods. This time, everyone in the tribe couldn't turn a blind eye.
Yes, giants fear gods too!
To be in awe of the gods does not necessarily have to have seen the gods. Many people's awe of the gods actually comes from their own incomprehension. For example, they can't understand why there is thunder and rain in the sky, so they will regard thunder and rain as the power of God.
And these giant natives, although much larger than "normal people", actually do not have the so-called "supernatural power". Therefore, when they face some natural phenomena, they will also be afraid because they are difficult to understand, and attribute it to the power of gods.
"What did you say, a gift from the gods?" The leader of the tribe came out and asked the old man.
"Yes, come and see... this is a 'sheep', we hunted a sheep yesterday, we can use this pattern to write it down. Also, this is a 'fruit', the piece we found earlier Guolin, you can use this pattern to record." As the old man said, he picked up a stone from the ground and scratched it on the wall of the cave beside him.
Although, due to the unevenness of the cave wall, the pattern drawn by the old man is not very good-looking, but at least it made everyone see something.
In fact, for this tribe, records are not very useful, after all, there are not many things worth remembering. However, this "pattern" is a gift from the gods, even if it is useless, people in the tribe dare not underestimate it.
As for whether the old man was lying, no one in the tribe doubted it. At this time, people have not awakened the "talent" of lying, so no one doubts whether others are lying.
There was once a movie about a world without lies, a person suddenly learned to lie, and began to make a living by lying.
That film may have a meaning, it is similar to a parable, let people know the badness of lying, warn people to be honest and so on. However, there may also be a deeper meaning, which is to imply that the reason why human beings become human beings, and why they have defeated other similar people, is because human beings are the ones who lie. 2k reading network
