Chapter 491 Rhino Horn Continent
With Chen Bei's return, a very explosive news gradually spread among the top leaders of the Mang Tribe.
A new continent without snow, a new continent without indigenous tribes, a new continent with abundant prey and abundant food!
There are also the one-horned rhinoceros on the New World that are completely different from the wool rhinoceros on the Mang Tribe. These rhinoceros are the invincible battle pets that the Mang Tribe had in the past.
If it weren't for the extreme weather changes later, these rhinos might still live in the central or southern wilderness, rather than running to the uninhabited new continent.
For tribes, territory and prey are always the most important.
On the New World, there is no shortage of these two things, or even very sufficient, how can people not be excited?
After Chen Bei returned, he notified the leaders of all the brigades and major workshops that needed to gather people to open up land in the New World.
They will select the personnel who voluntarily go to the New World to open up and build the land. After the selection, they will use Red Crane to transport them to the New World together with the necessary tools in a very short time.
"Does that new continent have a name? I plan to record it in the witch scroll, this matter is very important."
In the room, Qingzhu spread out a animal skin roll, picked up the animal brush, and prepared to let Chen Bei briefly describe the situation in the New World, so she could record it in the animal skin roll.
Chen Bei thought for a while and said, "I have explored the scope of the New World. It looks like a thick rhinoceros horn extending from the western desert. It is called the Rhinoceros horn continent!"
"The Rhinoceros Horn Continent, this name is very good. You can tell at first that it is from our Mang tribe."
Qingzhu wrote down the four words "Rhino Horn Continent" on the animal skin scroll.
Then, Chen Bei briefly described the situation on the Rhinoceros Horn Continent, including cleaning up a large number of godly creatures and the surrender of the Bison King.
Qingzhu recorded all these on the animal skin scroll. The descendants of the Mang tribe just need to read this animal skin scroll to know what the rhinoceros horn continent looked like in the beginning and who discovered it.
This is also the "history" of tribal inheritance.
After writing, Chen Bei took out a bag of animal skins, placed it on the table, and said to Qingzhu: "There are all plants unique to the New World, just treat it as a gift I give you."
Qingzhu opened the animal skin bag and developed a strong interest in the plants inside.
She is a witch, good at witch doctors, and likes all kinds of herbs. The things Chen Bei gave her can be regarded as their preference.
"Thank you, leader, I like it very much."
Qingzhu plans to understand the characteristics of these plants clearly, and then try to make new witch medicines and try to try the efficacy.
Qingzhu flipped over it, took out a handful of white cotton from it, and pinched it, which was quite elastic.
"What is this?" Qingzhu asked curiously.
"This is a good thing."
Chen Bei suddenly felt energetic when he saw the cotton. He took the cotton over, combed the twisted cotton balls according to the fibers, and then rubbed the cotton into several thin cotton strips by rubbing the rope, and then skillfully woven into a cotton thread.
Of course, this cotton thread is rougher, but it is enough for Chen Bei to explain to Qingzhu how it is used.
"This thing is called cotton. It is very warm. If you use it to make a quilt, it is much lighter, softer, and warmer than the animal skin quilt we cover now."
"If it is twisted into cotton thread like this, it can be woven into cloth and used for clothes and shoes, which is much softer and more comfortable than the linen we use now."
Qingzhu took the cotton thread from Chenbei's hand, looked at it curiously, and said, "Can this be planted?"
"Yes, just like we plant other crops. With this thing, we don't have to worry about not enough animal hair and skin."
Chen Bei said with a little excitement: "If we can plant it successfully, then everyone in the future can wear new clothes every year."
In other tribes, it is a very luxurious thing for everyone to wear clothes.
After all, relying on hunting and rough breeding methods, the skins obtained are not enough for people in the entire tribe to wear clothes.
The Mang tribe is slightly better, with advanced planting and breeding technologies. Through a large number of transactions, you can get a lot of animal skins. In addition, you can wear bark jackets made from tree tribe technology in summer, which can ensure that everyone has clothes to wear.
However, that's all. It's normal to have a piece of clothing sewn and repair it for a few years.
If you have new clothes, you must be old clothes that you can’t wear, so you can apply for one, or you have some bronze coins in your hand, and go to the trading area to buy animal skin to sew one.
New clothes are rare and are usually worn on important occasions such as sacrifices.
Now, Chenbei has found cotton in the New World, which is the key thing that the Mang tribe has solved the problem of clothing after solving the problem of eating.
Cotton is not as good as animal skin. Cotton can be planted on a large scale, which is much easier than animal skin, and can solve the problem of insufficient raw materials for making clothes.
Because of this, Chen Bei was so excited after finding cotton. He also put a ball of cotton in the gift he gave to Qingzhu.
Qingzhu held the cotton thread and said, "If this thing can really make the tribe members wear new clothes every year, then we can't take it too much."
Chenbeidao: "So this time I brought some seeds back. Next year, I can try to plant some in the tribe. If it can be successful, of course it will be good. If it cannot be successful, we can only send people to the rhinoceros horn continent and plant them where cotton is found."
The New World is far away from the headquarters of the Nanhuangmang Tribe. If there is no transport tool like a large ship, it will be difficult for the materials between the two places to be transported in large quantities.
"How many people are the leader planning to send to the Rhinoceros Horn Continent?" Qingzhu asked.
"First send 500 soldiers and craftsmen who are willing to go to build a tribal base, and then send people there as needed."
"Okay, then the leader will make arrangements as soon as possible. If the Rhinoceros Horn Continent can be built well, our Mang tribe will have an extra way out."
Qingzhu is a very smart person. Although she usually only cares about internal affairs of the tribe, she is not completely unaware of the situation outside the tribe.
The Mang tribe is surrounded by powerful enemies in the southern desert, and everyone wants to bite a piece of meat from the Mang tribe.
If the Mang tribe could develop rapidly in the new continent that no one knew, they would be much more calm when facing these powerful enemies in the future.
"Okay, I'll go find Yun and the others to see if they have chosen the people."
Chen Bei left Qingzhu's yard and walked to the place where the hunting team was.
In the hunting team, Yun was talking to the warriors.
