Chapter 291
Because tribes have very few communication, there are great obstacles to language communication, especially between tribes in different regions, which are isolated from each other and reproduced and developed, and gradually formed their own language systems, with obvious differences in the Dimensions.
However, because the ancient language inheritance is similar, although they have innovated a large number of language vocabulary and have huge differences in tones, the most basic theory of language is still common, that is, the single-word and single-sounding method, and the combination of words and words is in line with each other. It is obviously the style of ancient Chinese that Xu Chen believes, and at most, the difference between tone auxiliary words and pronunciation is obvious.
This similarity, coupled with universal exaggerated and rich movements, provides a simple possibility for communication between different tribes.
However, the behavioral habits of the Kugou Alliance seem to be clearly different from the two alliance tribes of the Wu tribe and the Gonghuo tribe. They like to paint their bodies into five solid colors: gold, blue, red, white and black, instead of tribes such as the Gonghuo tribe and the Wu tribe, they like to draw patterns on their bodies in different colors.
There is only one possibility for this huge difference in behavioral habits, that is, the Five Ghost Tribe and the Wu tribe Gonghuo tribe belong to different populations.
And they worship a monster with a vicious human-eating human-faced and bird-body body.
Regarding the human-faced and bird-body man, Xu Chen naturally would not really regard it as a ghost. At least he has traveled through time for three years and has not yet discovered that there are supernatural elements in this world. At most, animals and plants are very different from the familiar earth.
However, in ancient times, there were descriptions of various human-faced and bird-body monsters, both in China and abroad, including Egypt, Greece, and China. In the pre-Qin novels, the appearance of animals and gods with human-faced and bird-body monsters were repeatedly described in the classic books of Shanhai Sutra.
The Mountains and Seas Classic is not a purely mythical work, but an ancient mountain, sea geography and mineral animal and plant distribution map. Many mountains, rivers, geography and plant animals and plants can actually find some corresponding evidence in reality.
Even if it is a monster with human face and bird body, Xu Chen knew that there was a human face eagle in South America, which is an American horned eagle, also known as a fool... Habi Eagle, with a wingspan of two to three meters, is a super large raptor on the earth. Their food includes monkeys and other primates. Therefore, the horned eagle also has a nickname called the Monkey Group Killer, and there are many incidents of sneak attacks on human children in the local area.
If you guessed correctly, then the human-cannibal monster worshipped by the Five Ghosts may be a raptor similar to the Habid.
However, the times are different now. In the era when the super raptors such as horned eagles survive, the earth's climate is no longer suitable for large animals to survive. However, in the current climate environment, animals and plants are much larger in size. At present, raptors such as horned eagles may only be considered small.
It seems that I have to feed and train my two big eagles well, and maybe I can really ride on the flight by then.
Fox in Harry Potter was created using this horn sculpture with a human face and a bird body as the prototype.
In ancient China, there were also mythical figures like Lei Zhenzi.
Just like a dragon, maybe more mysterious and strange species can be found now.
Therefore, Xu Chen is still very interested in this monster with human face and bird body.
However, what he is most interested in at the moment is undoubtedly lead ore.
With these two things, the Five Ghosts Clan almost decided to hold it in his palm.
If you want to be awesome in any era, you can have a mine at home.
The top awesome family must have many mines.
Xu Chen still has a long way to go from the goal of many mines.
The two types of lead ores found in front of you are used by the Five Ghost Tribe to apply to the body.
Lead is the earliest cosmetics used by humans.
The main components of galena are lead sulfide, lead gray and metallic luster.
The ancient Egyptian nobles had the habit of applying heavy makeup like primitive humans. They especially liked to use galena powder to make eye shadows heavy. They looked like their eyes were getting bigger, and they were also shining and very touching. However, they looked good and looked good, but they died very quickly.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, white lead mines have always been a favorite whitening and skin care product for the noble class.
White lead ore is a mineral with a crystal texture. After grinding and applying it on the face, it can not only whiten and nourish the skin, but also make the skin smoother and more shiny. However, it is good-looking, but it also dies quickly.
Because lead can cause lead poisoning after contact with the skin.
In fact, lead, as one of the longest-used metals in humans, has been used for a long time than copper, but it was not until the atomic physics flourished and the concept of heavy metal poisoning appeared.
In fact, even in the West, heavy metal poisoning and radiotoxicity were discovered very late.
After Madame Curie discovered the radiation element radium, she confirmed that radium could kill cancer cells. So a trend of radium health care in the Western aristocratic class emerged, and various radium-containing toothpastes, facial masks, cosmetics and even food appeared one after another.
Among them is a radium water drink. It is said that drinking a bottle every day can make you feel great and youthful. It has been enthusiastically sought after by many nobles. A rich man in the United States drank 1,400 bottles in five years, and finally drank himself. His body was full of holes and turned into a huge radioactive source. It was not possible to cremate the earth and bury it. In the end, he could only create a lead-covered coffin and buried it deep into the ground.
Lead as a heavy metal can not only poison people, but also is the only basic metal material in human society that can be used to isolate radiation in large quantities, protecting human health, and defeating one thing. This has to be said to be the magic of nature's creation.
The main components of ancient bronze were copper, lead and tin.
Xu Chen didn't know the specific proportion, but the smallest amount of lead is used, and its main function is to improve the toughness and ductility of bronze ware, while the function of tin is to reduce the melting point and increase hardness.
The more lead, the easier it is to cast, and the more tin, the harder and brittle it becomes.
The more exquisite and complex the bronze ware is, the higher the lead content will be.
Like weapons and knives, the content of tin is higher.
For instruments like bronze bells that require high requirements, the proportion of the three elements is very accurate. They are not only hard enough, but also have a strong and loud sound when knocked out, but also have good toughness and will not be shaken.
To smel out suitable bronze alloys as needed, craftsmen need to repeatedly experiment and accumulate a lot of experience.
However, Xu Chen did not necessarily cast bronzes like that of ancient times.
He didn't want the Zhong Ding either. He just wanted a bronze axe that could cut trees and chop wood.
If his axe fell into the river now and the river god floated up and asked him if he had lost the golden axe, silver axe or copper axe, he would definitely cry excitedly, "The copper axe, what I dropped is a copper axe, and it is a copper alloy. Don't use those worthless gold axe and silver axe to fool me."
It is impossible for God to give him a bronze axe right now.
God is all made by him.
He himself is the number one prehistoric charlatan who is even more godly than God.
This axe can only be created by himself.
But it is not possible to cast a suitable bronze with lead at present, not to mention that the two lead ores are only more than ten kilograms in total, so it is useless.
Therefore, after a burst of excitement, Xu Chen had to fill the lead ore in a clay pot and store it specifically. Another day, he tried to simply make a copper lead alloy to see the effect.
Because in the industrial era, copper-lead alloys are also a very important industrial material, widely used in pistons and shafts, and can also have high hardness. The making of knives and axes must be much harder than pure copper, but the knife made of this alloy cannot be used by killers.
Because you can't lick it often, otherwise you will die quickly.
...
The day before the Witch Lord Conference.
The Wu tribe and the nearby Hu tribe Muya tribe arrived one after another in the afternoon.
At this point, all the tribes attending the conference were here.
Compared with the seriousness and seriousness of the Old Mother's Day in March, the Witch Lord Conference seems much more relaxed and lively.
The number of people attending the meeting in each tribe is much higher than that in the Old Mother's Day, but there are much fewer women. The main force is young and middle-aged men from each tribe, and their goal is to compete for the top three in the hunting competition, hoping to win the title of Warrior.
However, as soon as these later tribes arrived, they were shocked by the emergence of the Gods' Eye. After visiting the Great Ceremony at the Valleykou, they had not yet woken up. When they entered the valley, they were pulled by the tribes that arrived first, asking if they had any gold and gems, and they were willing to exchange them with good fur and linen.
Just as several patriarchs were so surprised that they made people search for the valuable gold and gems that they brought, they slowly heard an even more surprising news.
When going up the mountain to worship the Old Mother Temple, you must prepare some gold and gems. There is a pool on the mountain. Only when the treasures are thrown into them will the gods bless you. The more you throw, the more you bless you.
After hearing this news, the patriarchs and leaders of the three tribes of Hu tribes of Muya tribes of Cang tribe were no longer calm and ran to ask Mother Ba. After learning that the news was true, they were also excited and turned around and ran back to ask the tribe members to collect all the amber, green pine, gold and gems they brought.
Because this conference is mainly traded and exchanges, the tribes brought a lot of items, not only common items such as animal skins, horns, bones, teeth, bird feathers, etc., but also various new items such as fur hats, pockets, leather boots, quiveres, etc. In addition, the six clan alliances almost all brought some linen.
As for the various colorful gems, jade ores, such as gold, turquoise, amber agate, that were collected for curiosity, now we are specially arranged to find and collect them.
Because the Ba people collect almost everything, the tribes collect more ore and gems of these ore and gems. Each tribe gets it into baskets and loads just to exchange more pottery for the Ba people.
Even if you can't change pottery, giving it to the Ba tribe is a gift for meeting.
