Chapter 46 Zhou Xu’s Thoughts

Names are a problem. There are only about 60 people in their tribe now, but among this tribe, the situation of duplicate names has become very serious.

The fundamental reason is that there were too few names that primitive people could think of.

To put it bluntly, they are uneducated.

He had already asked the people in the tribe that although there was an old civilization ruled by the old gods in this world, they were not literate at all.

But think about it, it’s already very difficult for them just to live every day, so how can they have the spare time to learn literacy?

In fact, even now that the tribe has begun to take shape, Zhou Xu does not have the time to do this.

But the name issue needs to be dealt with a little bit.

From now on, he can never call him "Big Mountain" and a group of big mountains will come over and ask him what his orders are, right?

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu immediately gave instructions to Ye Jinghong.

He himself doesn't have time to name the rest of the tribe members one by one, otherwise he will have to name each one in the future. When will he do it?

In this way, Zhou Xu directly read out a list of hundreds of surnames to Ye Jinghong, asking him to write them down first, and then let the tribe members choose a surname at will and add it in front of their own names.

The same people are Dashan, Zhao Dashan, Li Dashan, and Sun Dashan. As long as they are called by their first and last names, people can effectively distinguish them. This problem can be solved by hand.

Ye Jinghong's upper limit of intelligence is three stars. When his potential is fully exploited, his mind is enough to make him stand out from ordinary people and become one of the very few in the world.

After following Zhou Xu and memorizing them several times, he quickly memorized those last names.

Considering that it was already getting late, they rested for the night at the Salt Lake Camp.

That night, Ye Jinghong called all the tribe members in the camp over and arranged the naming matter.

Early the next morning, Shi Lei, as the person in charge of the Salt Lake Camp, stayed here directly, while Ye Jinghong followed Zhou Xu to the Black Moon Camp.

Of course, before setting off, Ye Jinghong took Shi Lei with him to familiarize himself with daily matters.

After that, they set off quickly. They moved quickly enough and successfully arrived at the Black Moon Camp before noon. There were no unexpected incidents along the way.

Of course, the people from the original Salt Lake tribe knew him. As for the people from the original Black Moon tribe, after seeing Zhuang Mengdie's ability, they naturally did not dare to underestimate Ye Jinghong, who also landed in the air.

After the brief introduction, Ye Jinghong was unambiguous at all and once again carried out the naming task assigned to him before, without any intention of taking a break.

The matter itself was not difficult, and there was basically no need for him to worry about it. At this time, Zhou Xu's attention was completely focused on the noose trap in front of him.

There were so many things going on during this period that he didn't have much time to study this.

However, I had already studied this thing for a while, and now I calmed down and thought about it, and I quickly figured out the key to it.

"It's done!"

Holding the finished lasso trap in his hand, Zhou Xu grinned.

Then he quickly signaled to his subordinates to grab a hare from the rabbit cage and bring it over for testing.

In order to prevent the hare from accidentally escaping, they tied a bark rope long enough to one of the hare's hind legs and then guided it close to the deployed noose trap.

The next second, I saw that the moment the hare touched it, the trap immediately jumped up and trapped one of the hare's hind legs.

During this period, the frightened hare struggled desperately. However, the more it struggled, the tighter the noose became, making it unrealistic to break free.

Needless to say, this noose trap was a success.

"Mengdie, come here and help me make this up."

Now that the noose trap has been successfully developed, the previous basket trap can undoubtedly be officially retired.

That’s not to say it’s not easy to use. In fact, basket traps are easy to use, but they are expensive.

In comparison, the manpower requirements for lasso traps are not that high.

After deployment, you don't need to keep an eye on it all the time. Basically, you just need to check it every once in a while.

Only one person is responsible for a large area, which can be said to greatly save the manpower of their tribe.

As for those eliminated basket cover traps, they are essentially just bark baskets. If they are taken back to the tribe, they can be used as baskets without any waste.

After understanding the steps, making a lasso trap is simple. You can basically make one in a few clicks, which is far less complicated and time-consuming than basket weaving.

Under this premise, Zhuang Mengdie and the others do not need to continue weaving bark baskets for the time being. What should they do with the extra energy in the manual department?

That, of course, is to start weaving a new fishing net!

Breeding hares takes time. During this process, although they can eat some appropriately, they certainly cannot be regarded as their main food source at the moment. The focus must still be on fishing.

In this way, upgrading fishing nets and improving fishing efficiency have become the main tasks of the manual department.

However, the polishing and production of stone tools such as stone axes and stone picks cannot be stopped.

Because stone tools like this are typical consumables, especially stone pickaxes, which are currently mainly provided to the mines at the Salt Lake Camp for miners to use for mining.

This also resulted in a huge loss of stone pickaxes, and they had to be made continuously every day.

Under this premise, stone axes were originally stone tools with less loss. After all, for Zhou Xu and the others before, they would only use stone axes in battle.

But the situation is different now. They now need to use stone axes to cut down trees and accumulate wood.

Not to mention that the future development and construction of the tribe will require wood, but to talk about the immediate situation, he plans to increase the number of rafts at the Black Moon Camp to four.

Right now, there are only two fishing rafts here at Black Moon Camp.

What does this mean?

This means that they can send up to two rafts and two fishing nets to fish on the lake at the same time.

But if the number is increased to four, this efficiency can be doubled directly!

During this period, as a modern person, Zhou Xu of course also thought that if they were so crazy about catching fish in this lake, they might accidentally overfish, which would affect the freshwater fish production of this lake in the future.

After all, people like them who are engaged in development are all about a steady flow of water, killing the goose that lays the goose to lay the eggs, and he is not going to do that.

Starting from this point, Zhou Xu came to the conclusion that there would be no major problems in a short period of time.

These primitive people did not know how to fish before. In other words, the fish in this lake had not been caught before. This also made the number of freshwater fish in this lake huge, and all of them grew fat and strong.

Under this premise, considering the size of the lake and the current population of their tribe, it is difficult to pose a threat to the freshwater fish in this lake at the species level.

But even so, Zhou Xu has already thought of a follow-up plan.

The core of this lies in the breeding of hare.

This rabbit can give birth to six to eight litters a year, and there are almost six to eight rabbits in a litter. The rabbits can be bred after five to six months, and they can be born within one month of pregnancy.

With this reproductive ability, after one or two litters of rabbits are born, their tribe will soon be able to have a stable supply of rabbit meat.

When new food becomes available, their demand for fish will decrease, and overfishing will naturally not occur.
