Several skill books described Xia Qi's civilization in various ways. He was satisfied that he was considered a rich man, but now he discovered that he was still poor.

But it's no wonder, these big guys have developed in their respective worlds for centuries at least. How rich they are is probably beyond what Xia Qi can imagine.

As for Yang Guang, who is in the highest rank, Xia Qi estimates that his civilization points are counted in hundreds of billions or trillions.

After buying the skill books, Xia Qi opened his backpack and took a look. There were five skill books in it: "Diagnosis of Disease", "Trauma Treatment", "Pharmaceuticals", "Emergency Treatment" and "Pathological Research".

He just found a skill book called "Herb Identification". It can naturally provide a lot of help to other players, but it is not the case for Xia Qi.

Wu Yi has the talent of "Hundred Herbs". You only need to taste it to know the effects of this grass. Coupled with his other talent of "Invulnerability to Hundreds of Poisons", when paired together, they complement each other.

Wu Yi currently serves as the director of the medical department and is responsible for imparting knowledge on herbal medicine to members.

Although there are still two or three big cats and kittens in the medical department for the time being, they are very loyal and their upper limit of intelligence has reached three hearts.

Xia Qi assigned "Pathological Research" to Wu Yi, and the other four skill books were assigned to other members based on their talents.

It is worth mentioning that witches are not in the medical department.

The witch is getting old, and his spirit has become very poor since the beginning of winter. Not long ago, after he presided over a sacrifice, his energy and spirit became very poor, and he is still recovering.

There are people engaged in medical research, there are people responsible for diagnosing diseases, there are also people who identify herbal medicines, deal with trauma, and make medicines. Although this entire medical department does not have a particularly powerful signature talent, it can be regarded as having all the five internal organs.

Yes.

After leaving the medical department, Xia Qi first went to see Tao.

In the southwest corner of Daxia City, Tao Zheng was directing the workers to work.

With the completion of Daxia City, various departments have new plans and can no longer be as disorganized as before.

This place will become the foundation for industrial production. Not only the pottery department, the forging department and casting department are located next to the pottery making department.

Unlike the embarrassing Aries, pottery has been throughout the entire history of mankind since its birth. After all, porcelain and lacquerware are the enjoyment of a few people, while pottery is a commodity for most people.

Now Tao has begun to try to draw patterns on pottery, which is pretty good.

Tao was not dissatisfied with the move away from the original pottery making site, because the kiln entrance here had been built in advance, and there was no need to wait for the construction of these. Moreover, this area was spacious and the kiln entrance was larger than before.

There are many places.

The most important thing is that this place is also closer to the place where Tao and others collect clay.

When Xia Qi found Tao, the old guy was sitting in a corner, giving instructions and basking in the sun. Judging from his expression, he looked like a black-hearted shopkeeper.

Ever since the pottery department expanded and recruited hundreds of workers, the opportunity for this guy to make a move has become less and less. Every time he makes pottery, it's always after people like Xia Qi, Xiong, and Bai Lang.

Privilege exists not just in humans, but in all social animals.

Regarding this, Xia Qi did not stop him, but he also did not encourage him. However, he did not express his position in this painting.

The behavior itself is a kind of default.

Again, desire itself is a driving force for human progress.

It would be a lie to say that I don't feel jealous when I see my neighbor who was once as poor as myself suddenly using things that I can never afford in my life.

"Clan leader!"

Seeing Xia Qi coming over, Tao stood up from the ground as if his butt was bitten by an insect.

"Well. I came to you this time for something."

Xia Qi nodded, and then told Tao all the required materials, firing steps and precautions for the masonry.

It is worth mentioning that the masonry and cement production drawings are all silver-level.

"Don't worry, Patriarch, leave this matter to me." Upon hearing Xia Qi's instructions, Tao Jiang patted his chest loudly.

This is not pottery blowing. It is actually very easy to make. The only material required is clay. Use a mold to make the clay into the same size, then remove the mold and dry it in the sun, and finally put it into the kiln for firing.

As for cement, it required slightly more materials, including iron slag, which the Xia tribe did not currently have, so Xia Qi did not give it to Tao.

After Xia Qi left Tao's place, he then went to Xia Hu's place.

The current ordnance department has three departments, namely casting, forging, and research.

As for the polishing department, which was once the boss of the department, it has been separated out and is now responsible for polishing all kinds of jade.

Unlike the casting and forging departments, the research department is located next to Xia Qi's future residence.

In the research department, Xia Huhu was directing several people to wrestle with each other, and the tool they were wrestling with was a bow. They were testing the toughness and strength of the bow body.

Everyone's attention was focused on this bow, and they didn't even notice Xia Qi's arrival.

Xia Qi took a closer look and found that the bow they were testing was made of bronze.

You know, bronze is a very brittle material, so within a short time of testing, the bronze on the outside began to crack and fall off, exposing the wooden bow body. This test ended in failure.

During this period of time, the Research Department had no new research projects, so Xia Huhu, who seemed bored, focused on the weapons and equipment in the tribe.

Not only bows and arrows, armors, shields, spears, knives, swords, etc. are all within the scope of their research.

"Failed again."

This failure did not discourage everyone present. Research is always about summarizing failures one after another and finding ways to succeed.

"Chief, why are you here?"

After the test, everyone noticed Xia Qi.

Xia Qixiao asked: "Are you studying bows and arrows?"

Xia Hu nodded and replied: "Yes. I want to see if these bows can be improved, but so far, they have ended in failure. Iron birch is too hard, and ordinary people's arms will become warped after just a few shots.

It's so sour and soft, and the bronze is too brittle."

Xia Qi smiled and said: "Isn't it a coincidence? I happen to have a new type of weapon here, which is similar to a bow and arrow. It is also a long-range weapon."

"Really? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?" Xia Huhu suddenly became excited when he said that Xia Qi had a new weapon in his hand.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Come.

"Wait, I'll give it to you."

[Are you sure to receive the gold-level eight-oxen crossbow design? After receiving it, you will not be able to trade it! 】

"yes!"

Without hesitation, Xia Qi directly took out the production drawings of the Eight Ox Crossbow.

Suddenly, a thick stack of drawings appeared in Xia Qi's hand. This surprised him. He originally thought that these production drawings only contained two or three pages.

I casually flipped through a few pictures, and the design drawings provided by the system were theoretically impossible to cause any problems, and the details were outrageous. Every small part was labeled, and it even listed what materials each part should be made of.

, if that kind of material is not available, what materials can be used to replace it are clearly written.

Looking at the design drawing in his hand, Xia Qi realized how the 40% success rate and 60% production efficiency came from!

As a hardcore strategy and war game enthusiast, could Xia Qi not know the advantages of the latter two effects?

For example, in the same time, other players can build one Eight Ox Crossbow, and Xia Qi can build two. With the same materials, other players can build three, and Xia Qi can build four.

The advantages may not seem like many, but in a war, such advantages will snowball and get bigger and bigger!

Looking at the drawings in Xia Qi's eyes, Xia Fox's eyes began to light up like light bulbs.

When Xia Qi saw this, he could only laugh or cry and handed her the production drawings and said:

"This thing is called the Eight Ox Crossbow. It is a siege weapon with extraordinary power."

While Xia Qi was talking, Xia Huhu had already taken the stack of design drawings and flipped through them page after page. Her keen intuition about ordnance and equipment allowed her to read just through the patterns on the drawings.

She clearly felt the power and complexity of this thing. Just looking at it, the expression on her face suddenly became bitter.

"Clan leader, what do those strange symbols next to this pattern mean?"

"This is called text."

Xia Qi had forgotten that except for himself, the entire tribe was completely illiterate. This was not good. If he was illiterate, how could he make such a complicated Eight Ox Crossbow?

In addition to the patterns, there are also a large number of text and numerical annotations on the design drawing of the Eight Ox Crossbow. If you cannot understand this information, the difficulty of making it will be at least dozens of times higher.

"That's not some strange symbol, that's a word."

"Word?" Xia Huhu heard this, his face full of confusion.

Seeing this, Xia Qi said: "It just so happens that your research department has been relatively free recently. From today on, all members of the research department will teach you how to read after noon every day."

Although Xia Qi could directly tell these people what the words and numbers on the drawings meant, it would be troublesome anyway. He couldn't be asked to interpret the design drawings every time in the future, right? It was urgent to learn the writing, so let's learn it as soon as possible.

If they learn, he will be able to worry less earlier.

Teaching writing is a top priority, not just in the research department, but in the future the entire civilization needs to promote writing.
