Chapter 370 is more complicated than expected (additional update if you accumulate 300 monthly tickets)
Of course there are women under Zhou Xu’s original command, but the number is very small.
The reason is also very simple. They fled from the beginning, and the tribes they later recruited waited for the other tribes to experience the baptism of winter and screen the population before recruiting them. of.
In other words, in this process, the weak population has died.
Among them are undoubtedly the elderly, women and children.
Some tribes even consciously kill the old, weak, women and children in order to improve their chances of surviving the winter, thereby saving food resources and reducing survival pressure.
So there were basically no old people or children under Zhou Xu’s command, and all of them had died before that.
As for women, there are some, but very few.
Under this premise, most women are concentrated in Zhuang Mengdie's equipment department.
In their Zhou Dynasty, there is no doubt about Zhuang Mengdie's high status. Ordinary villagers simply don't dare to covet her. Even the status of the female employees in her department has also risen.
After all, Zhuang Mengdie is protecting her. If she doesn't want to, no one can do anything about it.
So in their days, there were always more wolves and less meat.
Fortunately, everyone here is extremely busy at work every day. They are so tired at the end of the day that they fall asleep after eating. They don’t have much energy to think about reproducing offspring.
However, among this group of prisoners, many women were escorted over.
Basically, as long as there are suitable positions, they will be delivered to every village.
After all, according to the physical fitness and strength of a normal woman, being sent to a mine or a logging team probably wouldn't be of much help. Therefore, such prisoners are usually arranged to work in places like weaving factories.
The appearance of this group of female captives undoubtedly stimulated many men in the village and gave them some impulses to reproduce.
As for fertility, although they need more people now, Zhou Xu himself does not encourage more children at all.
Considering long-term development, the birth of new populations is very important, there is no doubt about this.
But you also have to understand what the situation is now.
The current situation is that after the beginning of spring, they will most likely face the invasion of lizard people. For this reason, what he needs is a ready-made population of young adults to supplement his troops and labor force, not to raise children.
Counting the time, he was summoned last spring, and now it is the early winter of this year. Counting all the times, it is less than two years.
It takes less than two years from conception to birth of a child. How old is the child? What's the use?
The only effect is to cause them trouble.
At the same time, don’t forget that in this era, the medical level is very low, and giving birth often requires huge risks.
Ignoring the situation of unexpected fetal death during pregnancy, it is assumed that the pregnant woman can successfully carry the fetus for ten months and it is time to give birth.
How do you ensure that you can give birth to your child safely? If you are not careful, you will kill two people.
Of course, let’s assume that your child is born successfully, but the child is fragile and is at risk of dying before he grows up.
Even if they can grow up healthily and form a labor force, it will be many years later.
In the process of pregnancy, childbirth, and raising children, a woman's labor force will be affected that cannot be ignored, and she may even be unable to work.
Combining all the above reasons, Zhou Xu's brain was caught by the door panel, so he started to have more children to create trouble for himself.
It would be best if no one gets pregnant with him now, lest it affect their internal workforce.
Children are things in peaceful times, but this is not a peaceful time. Of course, he didn't intend to deliberately stop it, so he just let nature take its course.
In the morning, he briefly inspected the work in Heiyue Village. In the afternoon, Zhou Xu rode directly to Salt Lake Village.
"Have all the prairie elves that were sent yesterday been settled?"
"Reporting to the leader, they have all been settled."
As for the current situation of those prairie elves, Zhou Xu is actually not I am particularly concerned. At this moment, I just asked casually after meeting Li Shitou, the village chief.
After that, he went directly to Wang Dong and explained his purpose to him.
"Ancient Elvish?"
"I thought you would show more interest."
Hearing this, Wang Dong laughed.
“I am a Chinese teacher, not an archaeologist.”
While speaking, Wang Dong’s voice paused slightly.
“But I do have some interest, so I have no problem.”
Having said this, Wang Dong nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"But according to what you said, the leader, this is someone else's program. You don't have the authority to deal with it at will. Can you let me use it in this case?"
Wang Dong's question, This is a good question.
“Let’s not talk about the more complicated sample that even I can’t peek at. This ‘primary weapon blessing’ should be used by craftsmen of the old civilization. It is considered a relatively basic thing in the old civilization. The authority is original. It’s not high.”
“After I extracted this sample from the silver steel sword, I cast this mantra on the silver steel sword, and the mantra on the silver steel sword was activated again, and That mantra sample is still in my body, what does it mean?”
Faced with this problem, Wang Dong figured it out in a flash of his mind.
"This shows that this 'program' is actually replicable. What the other party blessed on the silver steel sword is a replica, and what you got is actually a replica."
“That’s right!”
Zhou Xu affirmed Wang Dong’s conclusion.
“I thought about this issue for a long time, and I found that adding this semi-permanent effect to a weapon is completely different from simply activating a mantra.”
"Activating the mantra means that after I started the program, the program gave me the desired effect, but the blessing on the silver steel sword was different. It was not just an effect, but a program was directly installed on it."
Speaking of this, Zhou Xu's tone was obviously a little excited.
“So this move is not as simple as starting the program, but directly giving a complete copy of the silver steel sword!”
The more Zhou Xu talks about this, the more he gets more and more excited. I feel incredible.
Because he discovered that, in his opinion, it was just a simple 'primary weapon blessing' as 'three-in-one', but its internal structure was far more complicated than he imagined.
There is also a difference between 'copiable and non-copyable', 'giveable and non-giveable'!
Those three combinations are just the core blessings inside, but in fact, the 'primary weapon blessing' also includes many designs and blessings that he has not been able to see through!
