Under their watchful eyes, Jiang Fan began the process of starting a fire by rubbing sticks together. This process was very long, at least half an hour. Fortunately, the human species today is very patient and kept a close eye on Jiang Fan.
Persistence pays off. With a tiny spark igniting, Jiang Fan immediately placed the straw on it, gently blew on it a few times, and the flames instantly burst into flame.
As Jiang Fan continued to add fuel to the fire, the flames stabilized.
The humans on the other side were utterly shocked to see the flames suddenly appear.
Jiang Fan smiled slightly. This is the power of knowledge!
"Roar! Roar! Ha! Ha..."
The humans were shouting and yelling, apparently stunned by Jiang Fan's move.
Jiang Fan knew that his mission was complete. Now it was time to see how the human race was doing. His presence here would keep them on high alert.
He tossed the fire-starting tools he had made to them and then returned to his camp.
[Ding! Host, you did a good job not approaching rashly. Humanity is still quite vigilant these days.]
"These lessons, learned through experience, are all hard-won."
Jiang Fan smiled helplessly. Flames were very intimidating to humans at this time. If he could create flames, they would be afraid of him, which would make it easier for him to act in the future and also speed up the enlightenment process. It was a win-win situation.
I just don't know if humans can learn it after only demonstrating it once.
In the past, when I first learned about these things, I would get to know them well and then they would teach me step by step.
However, this early Homo sapiens seemed to have a very strong learning ability, so the human species they created should be quite capable as well...
......
As Jiang Fan left, the humans cautiously stepped forward and picked up the tools he had thrown over.
The 'leader' looked thoughtfully in Jiang Fan's direction. The fire that had been burning had been extinguished after the last of the firewood was burned.
It then led the group of humans back to the camp.
A group of humans gathered together.
The leader imitated Jiang Fan's actions, and the human beings beside him also collected all the materials that Jiang Fan had just used and placed them to its side.
So everyone stared intently at the leader's actions.
As time passed second by second, a tiny spark ignited, and the leader swiftly placed a small tuft of grass on it, gently blowing on it with his large mouth.
"Hiss...whoosh~"
A fire immediately ignited, and the chief quickly added new straw and dry firewood to keep the flame burning.
The flames gradually stabilized after a short while.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The humans shouted and jumped around in place.
The leader grinned, seemingly in a good mood. Although they were somewhat afraid of the firelight, the warmth it provided was constantly baking their bodies.
On this slightly chilly night, they experienced a comfort they had never known before.
......
After their initial encounter, Jiang Fan got along much better with the humans, and their hostility towards him lessened.
During this period, the human race also assigned a group of humans to follow Jiang Fan from morning till night.
This wasn't a warning, but rather their first encounter made them realize that learning from Jiang Fan's behavior would be very beneficial for them.
Jiang Fan naturally understood their meaning, so he tried his best to demonstrate things that were useful to them.
Seeing that Jiang Fan walked upright on two feet, the humans all followed suit.
At first, it was very difficult to get used to, but as time went by, everyone got used to it.
However, achieving full bipedalism and walking required a long period of evolution...
Seeing that Jiang Fan was actually grilling meat over a fire, they didn't understand why Jiang Fan was doing this.
But I still started learning it.
At first, I didn't get it right and the meat burned, but after trying again and again, I learned to pay attention to the heat and timing, and gradually became more skilled at grilling meat.
After tasting incredibly delicious cooked meat, the human race decisively abandoned their previous practice of eating raw meat, and from then on, they would grill everything they ate over a fire.
It feels like it won't taste good unless it's grilled.
Seeing that Jiang Fan was wearing clothes, even though they didn't understand what they were for, they still imitated him. If they didn't have clothes, they would use leaves instead.
They wove thick leaves together and wrapped them around their bodies.
During this time, Jiang Fan also demonstrated the making of weapons and hunting tools to them.
For example, fishing nets, traps, and so on.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang Fan has been on Earth for nearly forty years.
On this day, a human suddenly entered Jiang Fan's territory.
This surprised Jiang Fan, as this was the first time in forty years that they had been so close together.
Jiang Fan gestured to him to explain what was going on, but he didn't speak. After all, the human race at present doesn't have a language system, so they wouldn't understand even if he explained.
The human gestured wildly, pointing at Jiang Fan and then at their camp.
Jiang Fan realized that they wanted him to go to their camp...
So Jiang Fan stood up and followed the human.
Some time later, Jiang Fan officially stepped into their territory for the first time.
Humans stood respectfully around him, and one of them led the way, guiding Jiang Fan into a simple house.
Over the past forty years, Jiang Fan naturally built his own house, and these human races followed suit, creating their own simple houses.
As Jiang Fan entered, the eyes of the human lying on a simple stone bed lit up.
This human was very old, and his body was filled with a faint aura of death, indicating that his life was about to come to an end.
After observing for a while, Jiang Fan realized that this human was the leader of the human race he had first encountered.
It seems that the lifespan of humankind is still too short, ending in a mere forty-odd years.
"Sigh..." Jiang Fan sighed softly.
The leader shakily raised one hand, pointed to himself, then to Jiang Fan, and then looked at the group of humans with bright, piercing eyes at the door.
They were all in low spirits. Although a complete social system had not yet been formed, a sliver of rationality remained in their hearts amidst the pain of separation and death.
Jiang Fan looked at them, then at the frail and elderly leader, and suddenly understood that they wanted him to become the leader of this group of humans.
Jiang Fan nodded somewhat heavily. Since people trusted him so much, he naturally wouldn't let them down.
The leader forced a smile and handed Jiang Fan a cane-like object.
As Jiang Fan took it, the leader's hand slipped limply to the ground.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to promote the development of human civilization, not only for you, but also for myself!"
This was the first time Jiang Fan had spoken in front of humans.
Although these humans couldn't understand it, it didn't matter. The old leader fell, a new leader was born, and the era of enlightenment for civilization began.
After giving the first leader a proper burial, Jiang Fan began to personally teach him.
Thus, the initial establishment of society was born.
