After piercing this layer of window paper, there is no taboo between the two of them, just like a husband and wife trying to live in Bai Ji.
Liu Yanzhi’s main task every day is to find food, while Zhen Yue’s task is to deal with food. The Baiji dinosaurs are everywhere and there is no shortage of meat. However, the human digestive system in the 21st century is very delicate and cannot be like animals. , The food must be refined and improved in taste to effectively relieve the pressure on the stomach and intestines from mechanical stress and excessive toxicity. A large amount of meat can also cause cholesterol and arteriosclerosis, so an appropriate amount of plant food must be included. recipe.
Ferns accounted for a large proportion of the earth in the Bai Period. Vegetarian dinosaurs have no problem eating ferns, because dinosaurs’ intestines and stomachs contain a large number of parasitic bacteria and enzymes, which can decompose, ferment and absorb plant foods. Inhibitors, toxins, cellulose, and structural carbohydrates, but the human stomach does not have this function, so we can only look for plants that can be eaten.
Zhen Yue told Liu Yanzhi that she was a biology enthusiast when she was in junior high school and participated in the "Jurassic" summer camp. Although many years have passed, the memories of these teenage years are deep in her mind.
"It really doesn't work, there is another way." Zhen Yue gritted his teeth. "The Inuit living in the Arctic have no plant food sources. They grabbed a caribou and peeled it off and ate the semi-digested moss in the stomach. "
"Understood, this method is feasible, but it still doesn't work." Liu Yanzhi understood what Zhen Yue meant. It has been several days since she came to Bai Ji, suffering from severe constipation, and it would be a big trouble if she didn't eat some vegetarian food.
Liu Yan flew straight out of his small castle. After the heavy rain, he uprooted dozens of trees, sharpened their ends and planted them in the soil to make a wall. At least it could defend against the invasion of small dinosaurs. In appearance, he also had the prototype of a castle. The mission is to find green plants that can be eaten, a long way to go.
At present, only ginkgo biloba is found to be edible. The ginkgo tree is a living fossil. It is a tree species that has been handed down from ancient times. However, it is not enough to eat only ginkgo biloba. Liu Yan directly looked for every different type of plant and picked some. The basket on the back is made by Zhen Yue with rattan. It is very crude and crude, better than nothing.
This was Shennong’s taste of a hundred herbs. He flew out a hundred kilometers away and picked a basket full of wild vegetables. When he was about to fly back, he found a prey.
It was a small mammal. It was said to be small. In fact, it had a height of two meters at the shoulder and a length of five meters. The top of the body was a medium-sized SUV. It landed on all fours and had a big tail. It looked different from a dinosaur. All the way.
After a fight, Liu Yan directly maimed this unknown beast and flew back to its habitat with a heavy prey on his back. Perhaps it was due to the atmospheric concentration of Bai Ji. His flight speed and power were both stronger than in the 21st century. , Flying with a ton of animals on his back is also effortless.
Returning to the small castle, Liu Yanzhi threw the prey in the yard, preparing to slaughter and peel it. Zhen Yue made pottery pots with clay at the door of the house. Because there is no rotating crafting table, the pots are not made uniformly. Only with pottery can water be stored. Food can be heated by boiling in water. Many bitter-tasting plant leaf tubers can change the taste and remove toxins after being cooked. This is a must-made household utensil.
Seeing Liu Yan came back against a beast, Zhen Yue was very happy, because the skin of the beast was much finer than that of a dinosaur, and it could come in handy.
Liu Yan took the Swiss Army knife straight, and when he was cutting the trees, he slashed it with his palm, but he had to use a knife to do fine work. Just about to cut the knife, Zhen Yue suddenly screamed: "Wait!"
"What's the matter?" Liu Yanzhi stopped immediately, and the blade stopped at the position of the beast's throat.
"It is a female animal." Zhen Yue said.
"So what?" Liu Yan was puzzled.
"It has cubs in its belly." Zhen Yue said, pointing to the huge belly of the beast.
"Well, look at your face, don't kill first." Liu Yan put away the knife, found a tough cane to tie the beast's neck, and picked up wild vegetables and cooked it with Zhen Yue.
Under the eaves of their log cabin, pieces of preserved dinosaur meat are hung. There is a small salt lake two hundred miles away. The lake is full of crystalline sodium chloride. The salt reserves are enough for two people to eat until the Baiji. In the end, it is most suitable to marinate the meat with coarse salt. Some coarse necks, heads, and feet are also thrown, so it is better to feed them.
Zhen Yue took two huge raptor feet and walked towards the prey. The mother animal grinned and showed her fierceness, but when the food was thrown to her mouth, she was much gentler. Bai Ji's mammals have simple minds and something. Just eat, if someone expresses kindness, it will be kind, and will no longer be hostile to Zhen Yue, but still feel jealous and hate Liu Yanzhi.
Among the plants Liu Yanzhi brought back, there are some that can barely be swallowed, and some can be eaten after boiling. The most gratifying thing is the discovery of several berries, which proves that it is in the late Baiji. In the earlier period of the Mesozoic, there were no flowering angiosperms on the earth, let alone berries.
"With berries, you can add vitamin C, make jams, and make wine." Zhen Yue danced.
On the second day, Liu Yanzhi brought a new surprise, a honeycomb. Bai Ji already had bees in primitive form. The bees collected flowers and made nectar, which became the source of sweetness provided by nature.
That night, the two ate a honey barbecue. A small piece of velociraptor meat smeared with honey was roasted into golden brown on a small fire, dipped in ground salt and chewed, and drank two bites of fish soup sprinkled with salt. A berry has almost beaten a fairy. As for the raw swallowing of ammonites and arrow stones, only Liu Yanzhi's stomach can handle it.
Ammonites are marine animals, similar to sea snails, and arrow stones are similar to small octopuses. They occupy the bottom of the sea. Except for large and medium-sized reptiles, they are fishy and delicious. They can be used as a substitute for oysters, but there is no garlic. Seasoning.
"If we find the primitive millet, we will open up wasteland and cultivate land." Liu Yanzhi said, "Expand the family bigger, have a large group of children, and continue humanity."
"Who wants to have children with you?" Zhen Yue groaned. She had imagined the future of marriage and children countless times, but she never thought that she would live and raise children like primitive people in Baiji.
The mother beast tethered in the yard was neighing, Zhen Yue hurriedly put down the food: "No, it's going to give birth."
Liu Yanzhi stopped Zhen Yue: "Don't panic, let it give birth. You can't help, but it will add to the chaos. Wild animals are lucky to have a safe place to give birth. They are not spoiled humans. You have to go to the hospital, you have to confinement, you see, it will be fine in a while."
As Liu Yanzhi said, the mother animal gave birth to five cubs without much effort. The cubs didn't open their eyes. They were crawling around with blood and screaming. They were very cute.
After tossing for a while, the five cubs all lay in front of the mother beast to drink milk, the mother beast lovingly licked the dirt on the cub's body, her eyes were soft, and the maternal brilliance shone.
With the shelter of the human castle, all the five cubs survived and got along with the two humans, becoming the first generation of livestock they raised.
When the tree trunks were carved with thirty carvings, the two people’s home had begun to see its scale. Liu Yanzhi built the fifth stilt house, which was specially used to store marinated dragon meat. He caught some Velociraptors and raised them in captivity. Yue said that Velociraptors taste like chicken meat. In fact, Velociraptors are a cunning generation of dinosaurs with relatively high IQ, but they are almost meaningless compared to the more evolved mammals. Old Liu's family raised six heads with sharp scorpions. The toothy beast is specially responsible for hunting and guarding prey.
These beasts, Liu Yanzhi named them "primitive dogs."
This is a continent ruled by dinosaurs. Primitive dogs are the target of hunting. Second-class citizens are now supported by them. Every time they fight with dinosaurs, they return triumphantly. They are full of dinosaurs, saying goodbye to the precariousness of the past. Days can be said to be grateful and vigorous, and hunting with the owner is full of pride and pride.
When the tree trunk was full of sixty carvings, Liu Yanzhi had another major gain. He picked up a few pieces of meteorite iron, and now he can finally cross the Stone Age from primitive society and enter the Iron Age.
There are too many things needed for iron smelting. First, a high-temperature smelting furnace is needed. There is only wood fuel in the world, which cannot provide a high enough temperature. So Liu Yan went everywhere looking for new fuel. Once passing by the sea occasionally, he saw the sea surface. There was a strange whirlpool. He dived into the seabed and found a crack in which high-intensity gas erupted outward. Combined with the pungent smell in the air, he judged it was methane gas.
In order to collect methane gas, Liu Yan killed a dragon, peeled off the whole dragon skin, and made a huge airbag. The stitching position was sealed with gum, which can hold several cubic meters of natural gas at a time.
With natural gas and oil-rich trees, the fuel is available. Zhen Yue helped build a furnace, and then made a blower with dragon skin. The original ironmaking furnace began to work, and the meteorite was heated in the fire to turn red. , Then clip it out and repeatedly forge it with a hammer made of other meteorites to shape it into the required shape, and then use it after cooling.
Liu Yanzhi finally didn’t have to rely on that poor Swiss Army knife. UU Reading at www.uukanshu.com he built for himself axes, hammers, chisels, knives, hoes, all kinds of useful small objects, hooks, pliers, nails .
He said to Zhen Yue: "I can make a full set of Ming furniture with an axe, don't you believe it?"
Zhen Yue curled her lips and said I believe it. You have told this story eight hundred times. You learned it from the old carpenter in Chinatown when you lived with Lin Su in San Francisco in the 1900s.
Liu Yan said straightforwardly: "Anyway, with enough time and enough land and pipes, I can build a Forbidden City for you."
Zhen Yue said: "Are you a superman? I will live for a few more decades at most, and you can live for tens of millions of years. By that time, let alone the Forbidden City, the space shuttle will be built by you."
While chatting, the primitive dogs outside became restlessly restless, Liu Yanzhi also sensed that there was danger, and hurriedly pulled Zhen Yue out, took off to observe, only a few hundred miles away under the night sky, an active volcano erupted. The hot lava swallowed everything.
The power of nature made people tremble, but a more terrifying scene appeared. The second moon in the sky became bigger and showed a strange scarlet.
