#427 - Chapter 427: The Fire of Civilization, Everlasting

“Yes, Divine Lord.”

The priest gave the order, and soon, hundreds of young men and women were gathered.

This was a primitive society, not a slave society, nor a feudal society, and there was no concept of male superiority over females.

Between men and women, there was only a division of labor.

After thinking for a moment, Mo Nan pointed to the simple stone houses that had been built and asked:

“Summon the craftsmen who built these houses as well.”

Soon, a few older people were gathered.

Then, with a thought from Mo Nan, trees flew in from afar, quickly filling the open space within the valley.

Mo Nan reached out again and summoned a large pile of bone spears.

These were all bones of exotic beasts, extremely hard, not inferior to metal. This saved Mo Nan from having to teach them the technology of smelting steel; these bones could be used instead.

As for iron smelting technology, let them develop it themselves.

After all, he couldn't stay here for too long and could only teach them some of the most important things.

“Watch carefully.”

After saying that, Mo Nan did not use any force. He squatted on the ground and began to make saws and other tools by hand.

Soon, Mo Nan was surrounded by layers upon layers of people, their eyes full of curiosity.

Quickly, Mo Nan made several simple bone tools.

Saws, adzes, planes, drills, and so on.

Then, Mo Nan used these iron-hard bones to make a series of dowels, which were used to secure the corners of wooden houses.

That's right, Mo Nan was first going to teach them how to build houses, and moreover, somewhat advanced houses. Living in trees, not to mention snakes, insects, rats, and ants, even encountering thunderstorms would not be safe.

Then, Mo Nan began to process the wood with the simple tools he had made.

Throughout the entire process, Mo Nan did not use any abilities. It was all handmade, and he deliberately slowed down so that these people could see more clearly.

Soon, the wood was processed, and Mo Nan came to an open space.

He also had people find many large bones. Mo Nan used the harder bones to cut the slightly less hard bones into the shape of bricks. Then, he ordered people to fetch water and mud, and added crushed dry grass to the mud.

Then, Mo Nan began to lay the foundation. In fact, river pebbles could also be used for the foundation, but after all, it was too far from the river, so Mo Nan used “bone bricks” instead.

Mo Nan was not going to build a few large houses, but just wanted to demonstrate the construction process. Therefore, Mo Nan's speed was not slow.

Soon, Mo Nan laid the foundation, and then, began to build the house with wood and the prepared bone strips.

The following things were very simple. Under the gaze of the crowd, Mo Nan began to build walls and houses.

Since the earthen walls would take several days to dry, Mo Nan couldn't wait that long and could only use true energy to make them dry quickly.

“When you build it yourselves, you need to wait a few days until the walls are dry.”

After a while, a modern tile-roofed house was successfully built.

Naturally, there could be no glass here, and even window paper was not available. Mo Nan could naturally exchange for it, but it was not necessary.

These two pieces of wood were completely opaque and could only be used for light and ventilation when opened.

After thinking for a moment, Mo Nan had people find a few large slabs of stone and built a heated kang.

Then, Mo Nan had people find some accumulated dry grass and leaves and filled them into the kang and lit them.

Then, Mo Nan walked out of the house with satisfaction.

Looking at this work that had taken him several hours, Mo Nan inexplicably felt a sense of accomplishment.

Although this house was very simple, it was already very advanced for the human race in a primitive society.

Mo Nan even made things like heated kangs. The construction technology Mo Nan used was the tile-roofed house construction technology from his previous life on Earth in the 20th century, which was already very advanced for these primitive people.

The thousands of people in the Fire Flame Tribe were stunned. This was a house? It looked so beautiful.

Just then, a large mass of golden merit fell from the sky again.

The merit was divided into two, most of it entered Mo Nan's body, and a small part entered the house in front of him.

The house in front of him suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

Mo Nan was a little curious and tried to slap the house, but it didn't move at all.

Mo Nan tried for a while and was shocked to find that this house could withstand his full attack. Although Mo Nan felt that he could break it with a few more attacks, this degree of hardness was already amazing enough.

With a thought from Mo Nan, a small flame appeared in his hand.

It was the small flame from when he first made fire by drilling wood. At that time, a part of the merit also entered the flame, and Mo Nan had casually put the flame away.

According to the hardness of this house, the power of this small flame was probably not small either.

After thinking for a moment, Mo Nan waved his hand and swept the ball of heavenly fire on the altar not far away to the side. Then, he separated a wisp of the small flame in his hand, and the flame fell on the original altar, burning spontaneously and endlessly.

This was the legendary flame of civilization.

Putting away the remaining flame, Mo Nan said to the thousands of curious eyes:

“If you want to see, go in and take a look. By the way, find some soft fur and spread it on the kang. You can try sleeping on it and see if it's comfortable.”

Hearing Mo Nan say this, everyone could no longer suppress their curiosity. They lined up and walked into the house and began to check it out.

Some women found soft fur and spread a layer on the kang.

Then, at Mo Nan's suggestion, the patriarch, priest, elders, and others all went to the kang to experience it, and then, they were full of excitement and excitement.

A considerable portion of the people in primitive tribes died of freezing in winter, especially children.

The survival rate of human children was probably only two or three out of ten.

Some people were also struck by lightning in trees during thunderstorms.

If there were such houses and the cold-proof “kang,” it would be like a miracle for these primitive people.

Looking at the children rolling around on the kang, some old people shed tears of excitement.

“Alright, those who are interested in the house can study and ponder it on their own. Come and ask me if you don't understand anything. Everyone else, come with me.”
