Still alive 200 million years ago

Chapter 234 Opening the furnace to make pottery

Xu Dong made a special trip to inspect the forest conditions within a radius of 500 miles of the royal court. There were a total of thirteen forest belts, two of which were large and had been turned into the territory of tree people.

Of the eleven medium-sized pieces left, only three turned into treant collars. Fortunately, they were located on the other side of the royal court. Fury had to walk a longer way to cut down the woods.

The mountain forest with rich products that Xu Dong was optimistic about was still the same as before.

These tree people are different from the tree people in Xu Dong's mind in later generations. They cannot rise up from the ground. The only thing they can do is to move the roots and branches. Even twisting is not easy to use.

Moreover, they are not the defenders of nature. The forest that turns into tree people refuses the entry of all animals. Whether it is vegetarian dinosaurs or small and medium-sized animals, as long as they dare to enter their territory, they will be strangled and turned into food.

Xu Dong felt like a stupid young man who had been bullied for many years and wanted to take revenge on society as soon as he could move.

Also, if we are like those tree people in later film and television works who are close to nature and live in harmony with animals, nature will be happy with them.

The nature of living things is self-interest and selfishness. Trees have been silently serving as the bottom layer for so many years. Even if they are eaten by animals, they cannot resist. The only thing they can do is to evolve at a rapid pace for hundreds of thousands of years, becoming hard, frizzy, and growing thorns. Bring poison, etc., in order to prevent the fate of being eaten.

It's just that they will never evolve as fast as animals, especially when there is a Zerg with the same bug.

Nature’s trick is really good, it can drive away tigers and devour wolves. Isn’t your plant a bug? Isn't your bug a bug? Then use magic to deal with magic, and use stupidity to deal with stupidity. Let's see how you keep jumping. Just be good and let go.

The tree man's disobedience and being punished by nature has nothing to do with Xu Dong. He has been piling earth with his tribe to make a kiln these days. I have to say that the mud in this big lake is really smelly. The fish and algae have died over the years. Sedimented below, it exudes a disgusting smell.

Xu Dong had to hold his breath every time he moved mud. It would be great if his mind could block the air, so he wouldn't have to be affected by the stench.

There are only three earthen kilns in total, and the distance between them is only about ten meters. Although the depth is hundreds of meters, it won't take long.

Soon the land under these earth kilns was raised, and the next step was to make detailed earth kilns. This required Xu Dong's hands, and other Xunlongs did not have such dexterity.

Looking back on the earthen kilns of later generations, they were all like semicircular iron pots covering the ground, leaving only a fire opening and an air outlet.

This is not simple, just use the soil to seal the top of the trench and leave a hole, and put a hole below where you stand to make a fire.

As the initiator and builder of pottery, Xu Dong should have fired the first kiln pottery.

It’s time to really show off the technology.

Knead the clay with water. If it's too dry, add water. If it's too sticky, add clay. It feels like kneading dough. Maybe this is called different paths leading to the same goal.

There are two main methods of molding pottery: hand-making and wheel-making. Xudong did not know how to make a wheel, so he could only use mud strips shaped like poop.

First, knead the clay into strips, which are exactly the same as poop. Stack the strips up in circles. Each stack must be fully connected to the base below. Pat it flat and continue. If you want to stack them all the way to the mouth of the bottle, you can make various types of utensils.

Under the operation of Xu Dong's dexterous hands and claws, several pottery vessels were formed, a large vat for storage, a pot for cooking meat, and three bowls for food.

Then came the drying. After drying in the sun for several hours, the wet pottery finally turned white. All the dried pottery was put into the earthen kiln, and the next step was to light the fire.

Get a torch and light the wood, branches and other flammable materials under the pottery, and then wait until the flame is strong enough to add coal into it.

To be honest, Xu Dong was making pottery for the first time and had no experience at all. He was just copying a cat and imitating a tiger.

The main thing he remembers is to ensure the temperature. I don’t know the specific temperature. Anyway, just heat it as hard as you can. At worst, it will crack and then continue to burn. You can always find the right temperature.

Xu Dong just sat in front of the earthen kiln all night. After burning for a few hours, he sealed the entrance of the cave to ensure the temperature inside the earthen kiln.

Just waiting until dawn, Xu Dong finally got up and moved away the stone blocking the entrance of the cave. There was still some residual warmth in the earthen kiln.

I used my mind to take out the pottery inside, but except for one pot, all the other pottery cracked.

Calm down, at least one of them succeeded, right? Look at this pot, it's big and round, it should be a success.

Xu Dong tried to flick the wall of the pot lightly, but the result was.

Click

The remaining pot was also broken, followed by Xu Dong's stiff smile.

But he soon calmed down. Failure is the mother of success. It is normal to fail for the first time. He should sum up his experience and continue working hard.

The reason for this failure should be the temperature. Take your time and try slowly, and you will definitely succeed.

Since then, Xu Dong has been spending time in the earthen kiln, making pottery every day, and has tried all the changes in the quality of the clay, the level of production, the degree of drying, the temperature in the kiln, etc.

Until a Velociraptor came to call him.

Xu Dong stared at Lailong with an unfriendly expression. The young velociraptor was startled, but he still informed Xu Dong that the remaining pens had been built.

The animal pen is built, so quickly?

Xu Dong immediately stood up and flew into the sky. Sure enough, he saw that the walls outside the five animal pens had been erected. One of them was the widest. The wall was at least five meters high. This was Xu Dong's request and was specially used to raise blade wolves. .

Now that the animal pens are built, let’s release these little guys separately.

At first, the little dinosaurs in the animal pen seemed to have become accustomed to this decadent life of opening their mouths for food. They waited for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day, which was much better and safer than eating in the wild.

Even if we drive them away now, they won't leave. They like it here so much.

The Fruitodon, who had just eaten and was lying on the ground with his belly up to bask in the sun, discovered in panic that his body was out of control again.

Hundreds of Fruitodon dragons were lifted up by Xu Dong's telekinesis and placed on a larger flat ground next to them.

The fruitodon dragons, who were still a little panicked at first, found out that it was the same place as before, and quickly felt relieved. As long as they didn't drive them away, everything would be easy.

Most of the Fruitodontosaurus were more careful, but there were three or two Fruitodontosaurus that had completely degenerated and lay down in the open space and continued to take a nap.

Xu Dong placed these small dinosaurs one by one, and then he had to consider catching Sword Wolf. They were not as easy to catch as Drosodon and Ornithomimus. Even in the powerful Morrison Formation of North America, this The group of guys are also proper medium-sized predators.

Of course, there is also the fact that they are possessed by fungi, which really needs to be investigated.

These things are scarier than plants.
