In just these few minutes, several other attachés from this visit also came over. They also discovered a lot of areas where everyone could complement each other through personal observation in the Tauren tribe. And all of this will also provide opportunities for the future.
Provide sufficient information for the establishment of the new Sauer Island common economic circle.
According to these people's observations, there are actually many areas for cooperation between the two parties. Instead of today's simple labor export and small amount of timber business. To take the simplest example, with the ability of these tauren to domesticate livestock, it is completely
You can tame cattle and sell them to Lawrence and the others.
Unlike beef cattle, farm cattle require certain training before they can be put into use. It is not as if you can just find a cow and use a set of tools to pull a plow or a cart. This also shows that farm cattle are standard.
It is much more profitable for the Tauren tribe to export these high value-added products than just exporting beef.
Just like the rat people can command some rats, the tauren also have a special understanding of cattle. Therefore, domestication is much simpler and more advantageous than humans. And neither the tauren nor the rat people are taboo about using cattle.
Or rats may work for themselves and even eat some of their edible varieties.
For example, a group of ratmen who had previously bred riding rats came to the island recently, bringing more than 30 pairs of large jerboa breed rats to join the ratmen gathering area. According to Fatina, with this group of breeders,
Joining it means that the island now has the most basic ability to train rat cavalry.
The giant jerboa is a mouse about the same size as a pony. Its hind legs are extremely strong and can jump long distances like a kangaroo. It can also cross mountains and pass through places that a large number of human cavalry cannot pass. The only flaw is that
Because of its size, it suffers in close combat. At the same time, the breeding cost of mounts is very high, making it difficult for them to form clusters.
However, because their powerful mobility, night vision and gunpowder weapons partially compensated for their shortcomings in hand-to-hand combat, the rat cavalry made great achievements as the top scout cavalry in the civilization expedition to the New World. For example, Lawrence was in
A sculpture of the Skaven Cavalry can be seen on the Second Civilization Expedition Monument at Eagle Keep.
Unfortunately, the population of this kind of giant jerboa is very unstable. No matter how good the breeding rats are, they can only give birth to two litters a year, with an average of four to five pups per litter. However, the hind limbs of those that can be used as cavalry mounts are very powerful.
On average, only one jerboa can be bred for every 20 cubs, and the other 1/10 of the total can be used as pack rats for the rat people in the cave. The rest can only be used as a food source to fatten up and eat meat.
.
Like the tauren, some ratmen have also come to work in human farms. However, they are mainly concentrated in capybara farms. After all, capybaras are rodents and are close relatives of rats. So these ratmen also
You can use your own racial expertise to better breed these animals.
When Lawrence was thinking about how these non-human intelligent creatures on the island could integrate into the entire island's economic circle, the sky gradually darkened. Soon, a grand bonfire party began. He and the people from the mission were there
At the invitation of the tauren, they sat on a stone platform covered with straw mats, sitting together with the tribe's leader and shaman.
In addition to the current members of this tribe, several chiefs or shamans from the Tauren tribe very close to here also came over in the afternoon. They also participated in the bonfire party.
However, it is different from the customs in Cathay or the Republic of Xinzhou. The banquet here is for everyone to happily eat, sing or dance together. No issues will be discussed at the banquet. So Lawrence and the others soon
Just do as the Romans do and join the happy crowd.
Fortunately, whether he lived in a small church in the countryside as a child or lived in a small bar when he was a student, Lawrence was exposed to many songs belonging to the working people, and those simple, straightforward but emotional songs are just right for this.
Such an occasion. So in this bonfire party, he could just use these songs.
The tauren here can use the stamens of a kind of tree to brew a powerful wine. They once brought two barrels of wine and sold them for a good price in the tavern of New Sauerport. Unfortunately, Lawrence
My lifelong habit has been not to drink, so I haven't been able to taste these legendary and distinctive wines.
Tauren often raise their glasses to toast in order to show hospitality. Fortunately, the principle that spellcasters basically do not drink alcoholic beverages is also applicable to other intelligent races, so Lawrence's not drinking is not considered rude. Several tauren girls used a small
The wooden barrel No. 1 filled him and several shamans with a purple juice.
This kind of juice tastes sour and sweet, and has a good taste. It can also relieve the greasy feeling of eating barbecue. According to the tauren next to you, this kind of juice is made from a variety of local specialty wild fruits.
It is manufactured and tastes absolutely impeccable. The only drawback is that the output is too small, only enough for you to drink by yourself.
After this joyful bonfire party, everyone woke up a little late the next day. Fortunately, the quality of the wine yesterday was good, so everyone didn't have a headache due to hangover when they woke up.
Lawrence got up earlier than the others because he didn't drink. As a result, as soon as he opened his eyes and climbed out of bed in the morning, he saw Nora sitting there studying the tea leaves she had brought before, and the tea leaves were sorted on the small table in front of her.
There are more than a dozen piles of tea leaves that have been processed.
"Did you not sleep last night?" Looking at the little puppet who was working, Lawrence asked with concern. "You really don't have to be in such a hurry. Anyway, there is no rush to finish this thing in the next two days.
"
"It's okay, brother." The little doll looked very energetic now, not at all feeling tired after working all night without sleeping. "I'm different from you flesh and blood creatures. Even if I don't sleep all the time, I won't feel tired at all."
It’s nothing. I usually sleep just out of habit.”
"Then why do you have to sleep every day?" Lawrence felt a little strange when Nora said this, because since the birth of the little doll, he has basically gone to bed on time and slept for eight hours every day, and occasionally slept in. When he got up in the morning, he had to sleep for eight hours.
Sometimes he would rub his eyes cutely to greet him. Therefore, Lawrence never realized that this little doll was different from humans in many ways.
"To bring me closer to a normal life! My idiot brother." At this time, the little doll put down the things in his hands and floated in front of Lawrence. "I came from the pile of memories I received from you when I was born.
I read a book called "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", and that book gave me a great inspiration."
"But you are not a robot, and you definitely have your own soul. There is no need to question this." Lawrence looked at the little doll with a depressed look and said, "This world is different from my previous world. For example, the soul
It is not something unique to flesh and blood creatures, this can be definitely proven through magic."
"You're right, but I was a little confused when I was just born, so I subconsciously imitated your lifestyle. Then after I figured it out, sleeping became a habit." Nora used her beautiful words.
Looking at Lawrence with his strange eyes, he said, "But I will also give up sleeping when I encounter some interesting things."
"Interesting thing, what is that?" Only then did Lawrence remember what he wanted to ask. He looked at the pile of tea leaves behind Nora that looked dark after being processed and asked.
"Have you achieved any success in your research on these tea leaves?"
"Yes." Nora raised her head high, with an expression on her face that was about to praise me. "After my experiments last night, I finally came up with some results."
