Chapter 629 You become your heaven, I plant my land
Han Cheng frowned for a while, then slowly relaxed.
Generally speaking, even if the climate turns colder, there will be no sudden changes.
A gradual change will leave enough time for people to deal with this situation.
According to the current situation of the Qingque tribe, as long as the winter does not become too long and the food obtained from farming accounts for an increasing proportion of the total food, the Qingque tribe is not afraid of this change.
It’s just that I spend a lot of time indoors in the winter.
Even if it is really too cold to live here anymore, the worst case scenario is that we will take people to migrate south, and go all the way south. I don’t believe that the subtropics or even the tropics can become so cold.
Nowadays, the Qingque tribe, whether it is big or small, has really made up its mind to migrate. It is a bit troublesome, but nothing can stop them.
Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario. The tribe has only had calendars for a short period of time, and the years recorded by stones are not many. It is not too accurate to conclude that the weather is getting colder just from the data of the past few years.
Maybe this is just a normal phenomenon.
Thinking of this, Han Cheng immediately felt relaxed.
He told Shi Shi what he thought, and reached out to pat Shi Shi's shoulder, telling him not to worry too much, as the situation of being covered by ice and snow all year round would not happen.
There is plenty of food in the tribe and there is a kang in the room, so it is easy to survive the cold weather.
Hearing what Han Cheng said, Shitou felt relieved. The thing he was most worried about was actually that as the number of cold days gradually increased, it would be frozen all year round.
In this way, no food can be grown, and if there are no vegetation growing, the prey will not be able to survive, and they will have no way to survive.
Under ice all year round, this kind of thing will not happen. Even in the Arctic Circle, there is a certain period of time every year when the ice and snow will melt and some grass will grow, not to mention the place where Han Cheng and the others live now.
Already.
Han Cheng greatly affirmed Shi Shi's ability to think and discover problems.
This is indeed worthy of encouragement. As a person of this era, it is really rare to be able to discover this situation and think of the possible consequences, although it is a bit too serious.
The stone walked away holding the pottery boards one by one. Han Cheng stood here and looked thoughtful. If the climate really gets colder as we get older, how should we deal with it in the future?
Taking the tribe to migrate was a last resort. Unless forced to do so, Han Cheng, like most tribes in this era, would not take this step.
After all, after several years of operation, there have been many gratifying changes around the Qingque Tribe.
Not to mention the copper mines and salt mines, just these thousands of acres of land would be a headache to live in another place.
Opening up wasteland for farming is not an easy task. There are tree roots and grass roots in the land. It often takes two or three years for the newly cleared land to gradually become mature. The beads of sweat fall on the ground and break into eight petals. Among them
Needless to mention the hard work.
The biggest feature of the agricultural era is settling down and relocating. This does not mean that people do not want to travel to other places, but that they are tied to the greatest wealth - land.
After thinking for a while, Han Cheng sighed. Faced with this change in the environment, he really didn't have much to do. All he could do was to let the people in the tribe cultivate more land, grow more food, and store more food.
Food to cope with the impact of climate change.
As long as you have enough food in your hands, everything else is trivial.
After figuring things out and deciding on a strategy, Han Cheng went to find Hei Wa.
After searching around, he couldn't find it. Later, he heard someone said it was in a cave, and Han Chenggong walked towards the cave.
A fire was lit in the Qingque tribe's cave. Around the fire, there were half a circle of pottery molds, some large and some small.
Not far away, Hei Wa grabbed the frozen clay on his hands and kept moving his fingers. After a while, he would take another object and press some on the clay, then pick up the bamboo knife and rest for a while.
Do it very carefully.
What Hei Wa is doing now is the model of plowshare that has troubled him for a long time.
After a long period of thinking - experimenting - thinking again - testing again, he finally had a way to solve this problem.
Fortunately, the matter of the plow mold was figured out before the heavy snow melted completely, otherwise, the spring plowing in the tribe would have been delayed.
Hei Wa was very happy when he thought about this, not only because he got the plow mold out before spring plowing, but also because he came up with this method himself.
Through his unremitting efforts, he overcame the troublesome difficulties. Hei Wa was fascinated by the feeling of relief at the moment when he overcame the difficulties.
Hugging Zhuang and humming a tune together are not as refreshing as this feeling.
Moreover, what he solved this time was not just the plowshare. With the plowshare model, he could make more equipment models by spreading it to other places.
Copper basins and copper bottles, as long as he is given a little more time, he can get them out.
At this time, Hei Wa felt as if he had overcome the ups and downs and saw the smooth road ahead, and his heart was filled with enthusiasm.
Driven by the desire to make the plowshare mold as soon as possible without delaying spring plowing, and to play with other tools, Hei Wa is now extremely enthusiastic about making molds.
Now that the weather was just a little warm, he couldn't wait to get started.
The reason why I choose to do these things in the cave is, firstly, because the cave is more spacious than the room, so I can use my hands and feet freely, and secondly, there is no wind here compared to the outside, and the temperature is higher, and
Good clay will not freeze easily.
Make a mold in your hand, carefully place it next to the fire, and bake it to evaporate the water inside.
After doing this, turn over the ones originally placed around the fire and continue roasting.
Some of the first ones were completely baked, so Heiwa put them into the fire and burned them directly.
Through the previous casting of bronzes, Heiwa discovered that the mold does not need to be fired particularly well. There is no need to put it in the kiln. It only needs to be burned in the fire for half a day and then it can be used. The effect is no worse than that of fired pottery.
After doing this, Hei Wa squatted next to the fire, stretched out his hand and used the fire to warm his frozen palms.
The weather has just warmed up at this time, which is not a good season for playing in the mud. The cold mud is extremely cold to the touch.
"How's it going?"
Han Cheng, who stood not far away and watched for a while, smiled and spoke. Hei Wa, who was immersed in his own world, was so frightened that his body shook...
