Chronicles of Primordial Wars

At the beginning, Shao Xuan hit the hammer to see Ke's reaction, and he stopped paying attention to Ke when he hit the hammer, and was immersed in the beating.

The process of beating is labor-intensive, not just waving your arms. Every time you strike, you have to calculate a lot. The angle, strength, how to swing the hammer, where to strike, etc. have to be decided in a short moment.

For many people in the tribe, they probably beat a lot. With experience, they can achieve the best percussion effect by feeling. But Shao Xuan is only a novice now, and it is impossible to have the experience of an old stoneware master who has beaten for decades. He can only rely on calculations and rough estimates, and then try and improve again and again.

Even though the body is much stronger and the strength is much stronger now, the strength is not endless. When I first held the stone hammer, I didn’t feel heavy, but I beat it more often. The stone hammer became heavier and heavier, but at this time, there was no mistake. If the force of the beating changed, the leaf-shaped stone pieces that were knocked down would completely exceed expectations, and there would be a lot of waste.

Because of this, Shao Xuan didn't have the energy to pay attention to Ke's reaction.

At the beginning, the time between the two hammers was slightly longer, because Shao Xuan wanted to think about the shortcomings of the previous hammer in this moment, so as to improve it in the next hammer. However, as the hammer hammered down, Shao Xuan also had a spectrum and became proficient, and the time between the two hammers became shorter and shorter.

Not knowing how many hammers he had hit, Shao Xuan felt that he was about to collapse, but Ke did not stop him, instead he would point out mistakes from time to time. It's like running a long distance. I feel like I'm reaching the limit. I want to stop and rest, but at this time, someone is behind me, "Continue! Continue!"

Knowing Ke's temper, if Shao Xuan stopped at this time, he probably wouldn't want to follow Ke to learn stone tools in the future. Even if you are tired, you can only clench your teeth and knock.

When the last bit of strength in his body seemed to have been emptied, Shao Xuan gradually felt relieved when he was banging.

What Shao Xuan didn't know was that when he felt relieved and regained a lot of strength, there were totem lines on his face.

Inadvertently, he had used the power of the totem, but Shao Xuan's mind was all on beating, and he didn't pay attention to the totem that lighted up in his mind.

Ke, who was sitting next to him, flashed surprise in his eyes. He has been a stone tool master for so many years, and many people have come to learn stone tool making from him, but few people will use the power of totems in the production process. Some people think that the power of totem is sacred and can only be used for hunting, to participate in more "sacred" things such as the defense of the tribe, while some people don't have this idea, but it is not easy to control the power of totem accurately. , unless some seasoned veterans can have that level.

But young warriors like Shao Xuan, or some young warriors like Lang Ga, can rarely control it well. Once the power of the totem is used, it is easy to directly knock the stone core into several pieces, which is not processing, but destruction. If you are impatient, if you are a little more irritable, you just throw your hands away. Tatama is strenuous. If you have this skill, you might as well practice your hunting skills more!

Because of this, Ke was surprised, because Shao Xuan not only used the power of totem, but also did not directly knock down the stone core, and even the leaf-like stone flakes knocked down were more perfect, and almost every knocked down stone was more perfect. A stone leaf can be used for further processing without becoming waste!

How rare!

But Shao Xuan didn't notice his "rareness" at all,

I have been immersed in the beating all the time, thinking about the experience summed up by each beating in my mind, and then proceeding to the next beating, which also missed the surprised expression on Ke's face that lasted for several minutes.

It's not easy to make Ke, who usually has a straight face and rarely have other expressions, even when talking to familiar people, show such a surprised look.

Shao Xuan stopped when all the parts of the line were beaten.

Look at the ground next to the stone core. Some of the knocked stone leaves are gathered into a small pile, and some are scattered on the ground.

Look at Ke again, still no expression.

Shao Xuan put down the stone hammer and gasped beside him, waiting for Ke's assessment. At the same time, I also sighed in my heart that it is not easy for a stone tool master!

It is no wonder that there are so many disabled warriors in the tribe who can no longer participate in hunting, but only a small number of them become stone tool masters. In addition, they usually have other things, such as "logistics" responsible for transportation such as grid, instead of grinding stone tools as a livelihood occupation, and the technology of grinding stone tools is naturally not as good as that of full-time stone tools like them. division.

The look of surprise on Ke's face has long since calmed down, and he has regained his usual sullen face. He still sits in the same place, raised his hand and took a slender wooden stick from the side, pushed aside the piled stone leaves and stone pieces, and then With a slight shake of the hand, a small pointed stone leaf piece was picked out at the end of the thin wooden stick, and the picked up stone leaf piece crossed a parabola in the air and fell into a place full of various items to be polished. Stone leaves in a wooden box. The "peeled" stone leaves can be made into scrapers or sharps, stone cones, stone arrowheads and so on according to their shape.

Although there seemed to be a lot of stone leaves knocked down, Ke's provocation speed was also fast. Shao Xuan watched as the stone leaves flew from the ground into the stone plate like a string of beads, and was overwhelmed.

Before Shao Xuan could take a few breaths, Ke had already finished picking.

Putting down the stick, Ke said expressionlessly, "Trash!"

Shao Xuan's eyelids twitched, but he quickly realized that the "waste" was not referring to him, but the stone chips that had been knocked down but could not be used for further processing. These are junk.

Clearly, Gram wasn't satisfied with the amount of discarded stone leaves knocked off.

"I originally planned to make a stone ball, but now it seems that I can barely make an adze." Ke glanced at the stone core that had been knocked off in disgust, and rarely said a long sentence.

Shao Xuan felt relieved and worried that Ke would let him go directly, but since Ke said so, it meant that he was not opposed to teaching him.

"Bring it here." Ke pointed to the stone core that Shao Xuan had knocked on.

Shao Xuan hurriedly put down the stone hammer, hugged the stone core that had been knocked a little horribly, and placed it on the stone anvil in front of Ke.

"Okay."

Ke picked up the stone hammer that Shao Xuan used just now, and with the other hand picked up the stone core twice as wide as his palm, held it firmly, and looked at the stone core.

Shao Xuan only listened to the sound of the wind, and the hammer shadow flashed.

"Ding!"

The stone hammer hit the stone core, making a crisp sound.

At the same time, a stone leaf has been knocked off and peeled off from the stone core.

The knocked stone leaf did not land directly, but just fell into a wooden box hanging on the wall.

From swinging the hammer to the knock, it was very neat, and it seemed that long before the hammer was swinging, it was certain which piece and which piece of the stone core would be knocked off. Unlike when Shao Xuan was beating just now, he was not as ready as he was when he was on the battlefield. Instead, he swung the hammer with a light-hearted casualness.

This is the real "peeling stone leaves", unlike Shao Xuan, who just knocked on the stone, and knocked down most of the waste.

After the first hammer, Ke did not give Shao Xuan much time to think, followed by the second hammer, the third hammer, the fourth hammer...

The hammer shadows flashed continuously, and the clanging sound was endless. With the faster and faster hammer shadows, Shao Xuan even felt that the sound had become one piece, and he could barely hear the interval between the hammers falling.

The stone leaves that were peeled off from the stone core also fell into the wooden box one by one. At first glance, it looked like a rainbow bridge, connecting between the stone core and the wooden box.

Shao Xuan's eyes were straightened. He used to know that he was very good at making stone tools, but he still didn't expect that he underestimated the old stone tool master to have such magical skills!

This is not peeling stone leaves, this is simply cutting noodles! !

Obviously, when Shao Xuan came here to observe in the past, he did not see Ke's real ability. What he saw in the past was just the tip of the iceberg, far from understanding the stone tool skills that Ke mastered.

So ingenious! So precise!

When Shao Xuan came back to his senses, Ke had already peeled off the stone leaves, and the stone core left in his hand was already in the shape of a stone adze.

After that it is drilled and sanded, the wooden handle is fitted, and the tool is shaped.

Perfect.

"Take it." Ke handed the finished stone adze to Shao Xuan.

"For me?" Shao Xuan took Shi Yan and looked at Ke. Seeing that Ke had turned around to do other things, he waved Shi Yan twice.

This stone adze himself has participated in the processing. Although the technology is rough and unsightly, he almost destroyed the stone core, but after all, this is the first time he has seriously participated in the production, and it is rare to see the extreme skills of Ke. For Shao Xuan, it is a natural meaning. extraordinary.

The stone core of this adze is made of fine, compact and high hardness. Unexpectedly, Ke gave it to himself like this.

"Peeling stone flakes, even the simplest beating, to achieve the most satisfactory results, is time-consuming and there is no shortcut. You must anticipate the peeling of each stone flake, and then consider the speed, the weight of the stone hammer, the strength, Consequences, etc., and relate them to the quality of the core stone. The amount of force, the best angle, and the ever-changing situation in the process from raw material to finished product are indescribable. How to use the force, at what angle, and how to use it. Tapping... can only be understood by yourself after practicing again and again." Ke said with his back to Shao Xuan.

Yes. Stone tools, different from iron tools, cannot be recovered from one wrong step and cannot be reversed. A hammer down, either success or failure. The final word.

Shao Xuan held the stone adze and bowed respectfully to Ke, "Yes, I see."

"But," Ke said, raising his hand to point to the dead fish in the corner staring at Caesar, "you must also know how to summarize when you practice. If you fail, you can, but you must learn how to learn from these fish. Same!"

"Understood." Shao Xuan could hear Ke's meaning.

Ke's meaning is to tell Shao Xuan not to be like this piranha, with a single tendon, no long memory, one mistake and one mistake in the end, and he won't look back if he dies.

"Take one with you." Ke said. This is to chase people away.

"Oh."

Since Shao Xuan was asked to bring a fish back, it was useless for Shao Xuan to refuse, and without saying much, he brought a fish, brought a stone adze, and called Caesar to leave.

Carrying the fish out of the door, Shao Xuan looked at the fish in his hand, thinking of Ke's words just now, he couldn't help laughing and poking the fish's head with a stone adze: "Stupid!"

Fish: "Do you blame me?"

One more tonight.
