Chapter 50 It doesn't seem impossible
Don't forget, it's spring now and the weather is gradually getting warmer. I estimate that the highest daytime temperature should have reached about 20 degrees. All things are reviving and it is the mating season for animals.
It is estimated that many of the wild rabbits they caught are already able to mate.
It is even possible that some of the wild rabbits we catch are pregnant.
With this mentality, Zhou Xu looked at the hare in the cage.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the nest of hares. He looked closely and found that it was a rabbit that suddenly attacked another rabbit that was close to it.
All this happened very quickly. If it weren't for the passive bonus of 'Eye of Insight', he might not have noticed it all at once.
“This rabbit…”
The hare that was attacked fled to the side in a somewhat embarrassed manner, while the rabbit that launched the attack was now huddled in the corner of the cage with a lot of hay piled around its body.
"Could it be that you are pregnant?"
[Generally, after becoming pregnant, female animals will become more aggressive in order to protect their young...]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu immediately signaled to the tribe members next to him.
"Take the rabbit hiding in the corner and put it in the cage next to it."
In order to provide a more stable and safe environment for pregnant rabbits, after making the first rabbit cage, they prepared a cage specifically for pregnant rabbits next to it to facilitate their care for the pregnant rabbits.
The people who are responsible for taking care of these rabbits are members of the "Agriculture Department" in their tribe.
Although their tribe has not yet found any crops to start the farming era, livestock breeding is itself a part of agriculture.
Therefore, within the tribe, the fishermen who fish on the lake and the breeders who are responsible for taking care of the farmed rabbits here all belong to the Ministry of Agriculture.
In addition, there are of course serious farmers, but there is only one...
After all, there are no crops to be cultivated at the moment, and it is hard to say when they can be found. When the tribe is short of manpower, arranging too many farmers would be a sheer waste of labor.
Under this premise, the reason for arranging such a farming worker is naturally that there is something for him to do.
There are indeed no crops, but the preliminary preparations still need to be done.
For example, loosening the soil and accumulating fertilizer.
It takes time to do these things. You can't wait until the crops are delivered to you before you start to do this, right? That would be too inefficient.
These things must be prepared in advance.
When the crops arrive, we can start planting them right away.
The land planned for farming is currently located on the outskirts of the Black Moon Camp. Zhou Xu has reserved a lot of space for the future expansion of the camp.
Zhou Xu has already roughly planned the future of the large area around the Black Moon Camp, and now he is just waiting for it to be implemented step by step.
"Chief, all the trees needed have been cut down."
On this side, we had just arranged the matter of the pregnant rabbit when the logging team came running over.
As the tribe developed, their demand for timber continued to increase.
Therefore, Zhou Xu also specially formed a logging team, which currently consists of five relatively suitable tribal members.
By this time, all the chopped trees had been piled up by the lake.
According to his previous plan, these trees were to be used to make rafts.
When it comes to making rafts, the people of the original Black Moon Tribe have already accumulated a certain amount of experience, but Zhou Xu himself actually has no practical experience at all.
But it doesn't matter, because what he has to do, to put it bluntly, is to upgrade the binding method of the raft on the original basis, so that the raft will become stronger.
Although this task sounds simple, moving those trees is a laborious job in itself, and fixing and tying up those trees is even more tiring. It is unexpectedly a big project.
Several people worked together and helped each other, and it took almost an entire afternoon to tie the two rafts together.
"call--"
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhou Xu let out a long breath, and it took him a long time to recover.
When they only eat one meal a day, this kind of physical work is still very taxing on the body. After one trip, it is enough to make them dizzy and tired.
This situation will undoubtedly affect their work efficiency.
At this moment, Zhou Xu had already started thinking about increasing the number of meals he ate and increasing the daily meals to two meals a day.
In fact, he has always had this plan.
However, according to the original plan, this arrangement was to be made after the successful breeding of wild rabbits.
After all, as long as the breeding of wild rabbits reaches a certain scale, two meals a day will not be a problem.
But at the moment, Zhou Xu estimated that it would take two or three months at the fastest to achieve a certain scale.
And now I want to change to two meals a day...
[It seems that it is not impossible. 】
As this thought flashed through his mind, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on the raft in front of him that was ready to be launched into the water.
Feeling the gazes of the tribe members falling on him, Zhou Xu, who had recovered his breath, perked up a little, walked forward, and put his foot on the edge of the raft.
Then he exerted force and pushed the raft directly to the lake! At the same time, he also seized the opportunity and jumped onto the raft, following the raft to float towards the lake. Amid the cheers of the crowd, he completed the launching ceremony of the raft.
Unlike the two rafts they originally owned, the change in the binding method made the new raft more compact and solid, providing better stability.
The hard work they put in for an afternoon allowed them to see the results and rewards they deserved in the most direct way. The feeling was fulfilling and exciting.
The tribal members who helped make the raft seemed very excited. At the same time, the fishermen who were fishing on the lake also cast their eyes towards them, making them the focus of the lake.
[Yes, it is not impossible to change to two meals now. In two days, the number of rafts put into use in the tribe will be completely increased to four. At the same time, the equipment department should have almost finished weaving the fishing nets. By then, the fishing efficiency will be doubled! ]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu immediately became energetic.
As they returned to the shore, the fishermen had just finished their day's work and were preparing to spread out their fishing nets and hang them on racks by the lake.
Taking this opportunity, Zhou Xu called the fishermen over to make arrangements.
"Starting tomorrow, you will use the two newly made rafts to fish, and the two old rafts must be reinforced."
Obviously, in Zhou Xu's opinion, the two old rafts were undoubtedly somewhat dangerous. For safety reasons, he also had to take some time to reinforce them.
Once the reinforcement is completed, the four rafts can be used at the same time!
