Chapter 314 314 Tool Preparation (1)

Everyone else in the tribe has their own work tasks, and the remaining females who don't participate will, needless to say, voluntarily join in the daily logistical support.

Xia Tian was pleased with everyone's self-awareness. "Since everyone knows what they need to do, let's split into two groups. A Jin will lead one group to collect supplies nearby and then prepare meals in the kitchen over here. The rest of you will follow me, and I'll lead everyone to build toilets."

As soon as the words fell, everyone consciously divided into two teams, one with more people and one with less people, led by Jin and Xia Tian respectively, and each went to do their own thing.

They were already very familiar with the logistical work, so Xia Tian simply gave some brief instructions on several major picking spots nearby, and then led the rest of the team to start building toilets.

Of course, before actually starting work, they also have to prepare the tools.

As the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Females do not have sharp claws and teeth like males, and it is impossible to dig the hard and thick soil underneath by human power alone.

In addition, the soil needs to be transported after being dug out. It is obviously unrealistic to do it by hand, and the efficiency will be very low.

So, they need to prepare the tools first.

This includes tools for digging and transportation, and they must be divided into teams with people taking turns to rest, taking into account both efficiency and health to the greatest extent possible.

"We have a total of 21 people now." Xia Tian stood at the front of the team and gave the order. "We will be divided into three groups, each with seven people. Everyone will form their own teams. These three teams will take turns working: one group digging the soil, one group assembling the soil, and one group tamping the soil into a wall. Each group works in shifts, and everyone is very self-motivated. I won't set any standards; just do your best. I'll teach you the specific working methods later. We won't start working today. I want to teach you how to make and use tools."

Her purpose this time was to take advantage of this opportunity to promote the use of polished stone tools.

One of the most important parts of improving productivity is developing tools.

We’ll talk about the more complicated things later. For now, just prepare the tools needed to build the toilet.

It’s actually very simple, and they are all things I have made before - a hoe and a backpack.

One is used for digging soil, and the other is used for holding and carrying.

"Xia Xia, what is that tool you just mentioned? Do we still need to make it ourselves now?" The black-haired woman stood up and spoke.

Xia Tian tried to ignore the chill on the woman's back and explained to her, "Sister Qiu, these tools are not only useful now, but once you learn how to use them, you can also take them home and use them later."

As she spoke, she took out the hoe and backpack that she and Si Ye had prepared early in the morning, and demonstrated how to use them on the spot.

The ground seemed very hard, but it was easily dug up by the diggers.

The dug-out soil was also put into the backpack.

Because of the backpack design, even if you can't lift the bag with your hands, you can still carry the heavy clods of earth by using the strength of your back and waist.

Everyone present was impressed by this tool and couldn't help but admire it.

"This hoe is so useful! It will be much easier to dig something up next time!"

"That's right, and it's very convenient to use. We can dig out even the deepest roots, and we can even use it to protect ourselves!"

"I think this backpack is more practical. I can carry a lot of things that I can't carry normally, but it's very easy to carry them with a backpack."
