Beasts Are Boundless

Chapter 90 Whale Grease

After pulling Tang Ying out, the two rode the snow wolf together and came to the snow cave where Ye Qiong was doing experiments.

Ye Qiong asked Tang Ying to call a few middle-aged women in the tribe for help. The women were responsible for moving the meat that was stored in the tribe with more oil, cut off the oily parts, and put them together.

Compared with vegetable fats, the extraction of animal fats is much simpler. The fats are directly boiled in a large pot. After the water vapor is released, the remaining gelatinous substances will become Candle-like solid grease.

Making grease is not difficult, the difficulty is the wick!

How long it can burn, whether there is smoke, etc., depends on the quality of the wick. Ye Qiong asked a few middle-aged women to collect a lot of cotton and linen fabrics from the tribe, and animal skins definitely cannot be used as wicks.

To Ye Qiong’s disappointment, the entire tribe was turned upside down, and not a few decent pieces of fabric were found.

Things like silk and satin cannot be made in a while. Ye Qiong is now forcing his tribe to jump directly from the primitive era to the steam era.

Now the entire Xue Xing, if divided according to the level of civilization, is still in the primitive period, but there is no slave system, but a tribal group system. People are relatively equal, between men and women, and there is no class division for the time being.

No matter how powerful the tribes are, they will not take the initiative to oppress the small tribes, unless the small tribes choose things for the sake of resources and women. , no one wants to see anyone.

You spend your life, I spend mine, worrying about the cold winter, not having time to fight, or being distracted by other things.

After the cold winter comes, if there are no special events, under normal circumstances there will be no contact between tribes and tribes. After the cold winter passes, all tribes are intensively collecting materials and storing food, going round and round, tirelessly.

All human beings are worried about how to survive, so things like entertainment and dating are meaningless to the human beings on Xuexing.

Now the human beings on Xue Xing, if any one is pulled out and placed in the modern society where Ye Qiong lived in the previous life, they are all ascetic existences.

play?

nonexistent……

Since there is none in the tribe, Ye Qiong can only continue to squeeze the caravan. Although the caravan is now completely owned by the tribe, because Ye Qiong has retained the establishment of the caravan, they still keep their original materials by themselves, but Now Ye Qiong can be requisitioned unconditionally.

Tang Ying ran out humming a little tune. Being able to contribute to the tribe is the happiest thing for Tang Ying at present, and she is very motivated.

From the caravan, they carried a lot of things. After Ye Qiong flipped through them, he chose a few more suitable ones and cut them into lines.

The only thing left is to test, and it will take time to wait for the grease to come out.

All these tasks were handed over to Tang Ying and the others. Ye Qiong just started, and the future development is up to them.

The days when the sky is clear and clear are good times for the development of the tribe, and should be cherished.

Now all kinds of things in the tribe are intertwined, making Ye Qiong’s head a little big. To sort out all the things now, Ye Qiong needs to spend a lot of time and energy, as well as huge manpower and material resources.

The only thing that Ye Qiong is fortunate about now is that the clansmen in the tribe are very obedient, no matter what, there is absolutely no problem with their attitude. Another advantage is that the physical fitness of the clansmen is not bad, especially the soldiers, after a hard day’s work, sleep at night, and the next day is full of vitality.

This is inseparable from the jerky of the king and various high-level monsters.

Walking out of the tribe, it was getting dark now, and the soldiers who were responsible for building the city wall also stopped. There was no lighting equipment, and it was really impossible to work at night.

It seems that this problem really needs to be solved in time. The daytime on Xuexing is only about eight hours, and the night is up to sixteen hours.

Although there is the light of the starry sky, the night is not out of sight, but because of the problem of sight, the work efficiency is very low.

Ye Qiong thought of a kind of animal fat, which is whale. In Ye Qiong’s last life, it was recorded that the thing that burned the most for a long time was whale fat. Because of the pressure of the deep sea, the fat density of whales was very high. Coupled with some special reasons, the fat of whales can be burned for a very long time. In the Nordics of the Middle Ages, this kind of thing was used for ever-bright lamps, which are very expensive!

Specialized sailors will go to the depths of the sea to hunt whales to extract fat.

Because whale fat is fluid in the body, but when it is outside, it is solid at room temperature, which is very convenient for storage.

There must be an ocean on Xuexing, which Ye Qiong is very sure of. After all, the corpses in the ice sculptures are all marine creatures.

Ye Qiong walked to the location of the city wall under construction by the faint starlight scattered in the sky.

Now the city wall on this side is already one meter high, Ye Qiong jumped directly on it.

The stone city wall is indeed much more stable to step on than the ice wall. It has a very calm feeling. Ye Qiong remembered the Great Wall he climbed in his previous life, and Ye Qiong had an inexplicable substitution for the stone city wall built by his tribe. sense.

After walking forward for a while, Ye Qiong sat directly on the city wall and patted his hands vigorously.

The entire city wall is five meters wide, and the outer wall is 90 degrees perpendicular to the ground, while the other layer has an arc, and the higher it goes, the smaller the overall width.

In the sketch designed by Ye Qiong, the width of the top of the city wall is three meters, and the middle is sunken. Whether it is a beast tide or a mad crowd, if they attack from the front, the warriors can defend well.

For this kind of building, Ye Qiong had too many references. He chose a shape that can maximize the use of archers. On the side of the vertical slope, there are many hidden compartments and hollow square holes for storing things.

Bows and arrows can be shot from below, and if cannons are invented later, the cannon holes can also be directly inserted into these holes.

Ye Qiong’s second uncle, Ye Tianling, has always been responsible for the task of building the city wall. So far, Ye Qiong is very satisfied. The foundation is very stable and can easily withstand snowstorms below level 3.

Those ice sculpture corpses smashed on the city wall and would not cause much damage.

Sitting cross-legged on the city wall, Ye Qiong’s solitary figure has become a very unique landscape here.

No one knew what Ye Qiong was thinking, but when he looked at it from a distance, he saw the young man above the ice wall, staring at the night sky in a daze.

It was as if there was something that fascinated him in the distance above the stars.
