Chapter 50 It seems not impossible
Don’t forget, it’s spring now, and the weather is gradually getting warmer. I blindly estimate that the highest temperature during the day should have reached 20 degrees. Everything is recovering. It's mating season for animals again.
And it is estimated that many of the hares they captured are already able to mate.
It is even possible that some of the captured hares are pregnant.
With this mentality, Zhou Xu looked at the hare in the cage.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the nest of hares. He looked closely and saw that it was a rabbit that suddenly attacked another rabbit that was close to it.
All this happened quite quickly. If it weren’t for the passive bonus of ‘Eye of Insight’, he might not have been able to notice it all at once.
"This rabbit..."
The attacked hare fled to the side in a slightly embarrassed manner, while the attacking rabbit was huddled in the corner of the cage. Inside, a lot of hay was piled around the body.
“Could you be pregnant?”
[Generally, female animals become more aggressive after pregnancy in order to protect the cubs in their belly...]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu immediately signaled to the tribe members next to him.
"Catch the rabbit huddled in the corner and put it into the cage next to it."
In order to provide a more stable and safe environment for the pregnant rabbit, after completing the second After a rabbit cage, they prepared a cage for the pregnant rabbit next to it, so that they could take care of the pregnant rabbit.
The people responsible for taking care of these rabbits are members of the ‘Ministry of Agriculture’ in their tribe.
Although their tribe has not yet found any crops and started the era of farming, the breeding of agricultural animals itself is also a part of agriculture.
Therefore, within the tribe, the fishermen who fish on the lake, and the breeders who are responsible for taking care of the rabbits here, all belong to the Ministry of Agriculture.
Besides, of course there are serious farming personnel, there is only one...
After all, there are no crops to cultivate at the moment. It is hard to say when they will be found. In the tribe When there is not enough manpower, arranging too many agricultural workers is simply a waste of labor.
Under this premise, the reason why such a farmer is arranged to come out is that there is naturally something for him to do.
There are indeed no crops, but preliminary preparations still have to be done.
For example, loosen the soil and accumulate fertilizer.
Doing these things also takes time. You can’t wait until the crops are delivered before you start doing this, right? That efficiency is too low.
These things must be prepared in advance.
As soon as the crops arrive, we will start planting them directly.
The land planned for farming is currently located outside the Black Moon Camp. Zhou Xu has reserved a lot of space for the future expansion of the camp area.
With Black Moon Camp as the center and the surrounding area, Zhou Xu has roughly made plans for the future, and now he is waiting to be implemented gradually.
“Chief, all the trees needed have been cut down.”
On one side, the matter of the pregnant rabbit had just been arranged, and on the other side, the logging team came running over.
With the development of tribes, their demand for wood is also increasing.
Therefore, Zhou Xu also specially formed a logging team. The team currently consists of five relatively suitable tribe members.
At this time, all the cut trees have been piled by the lake. According to his previous plan, these trees were used to make rafts.
The former Black Moon tribe members have accumulated a certain amount of experience in making rafts. Looking back at Zhou Xu himself, he actually has no practical experience at all.
But it doesn't matter, because what he wants to do, to put it bluntly, is to upgrade the binding method of the raft on the original basis to make the raft stronger.
Although this thing sounds simple, moving those trees is a laborious job in itself, and fixing and binding those trees is even more tiring. Surprisingly, it is a big project.
Several people cooperated with each other to help each other, and it took almost an entire afternoon to tie the two rafts.
"Huh——"
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhou Xu exhaled a long breath, and it took him a while to recover.
When they only eat one meal a day, this kind of physical work is still very taxing on the body. One trip is enough to make them feel tired and dizzy.
And this situation will undoubtedly have an impact on their work efficiency.
At this moment, Zhou Xu had begun to think about increasing the frequency of eating and increasing the daily meal to two meals a day.
In fact, he has always had this plan.
But according to the original plan, this arrangement was placed after the successful breeding and breeding of hares.
After all, as long as hare breeding reaches a large scale, two meals a day will not be a problem.
But now that it wants to reach a certain scale, Zhou Xu blindly estimates that it will take two or three months no matter how fast it is.
And now I want to change it to two meals a day...
[It doesn’t seem impossible. 】
As this thought flashed through his mind, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on the raft in front of him, which was about to be officially launched into the water.
Feeling the gazes of the tribe members on him, Zhou Xu cheered up after taking a breath, walked forward, and put his feet on the edge of the raft.
Then he exerted force and pushed the raft directly towards the lake!
At the same time, he seized the opportunity, jumped onto the raft, and followed the raft towards the lake. Amidst the cheers of everyone, he completed the launching ceremony of the raft.
Different from the two rafts they originally owned, the change in the binding method made the new raft more compact and stronger, giving the raft better stability.
The sweat they put in in an afternoon has allowed them to see the results and rewards they deserve in the most direct way. This feeling is fulfilling and exciting.
The tribe members who helped make the raft seemed very excited. At the same time, the fishermen who were fishing on the lake also glanced at them, making them suddenly become one. Focus on the lake.
[Yes, it is not impossible to change it to two meals now. In two days, the number of rafts put into use in the tribe will be completely increased to four. At the same time, the equipment department should have almost completed the fishing nets. By then, Fishing efficiency can be doubled directly! 】
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu immediately became energetic.
When they returned to the shore, the fishermen had just finished their day's work and were preparing to unfold the fishing nets and hang them on the racks by the lake.
Taking this opportunity, Zhou Xu called the fishermen over to make arrangements.
“Starting from tomorrow, you will use the two newly made rafts for fishing, and the two old rafts will be re-reinforced.”
Obviously, in Zhou Xu's view, the two old rafts were undoubtedly dangerous, and for safety reasons, he had to make time to re-reinforce them.
After the reinforcement is completed, the four rafts can be used at the same time!
