Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 106 Stone Age Genius!

Moreover, Jiang Luoluo knew a very simple principle.

That means chopping down a tree with an axe is definitely easier than chopping it down by hand.

Huh? Doesn't the tribe ever have axes or anything like that? How do they cut down trees then?

Ge blinked and demonstrated to the cub—just pick a tree you like, then find an angle and kick it or punch it.

Jiang Luoluo stared blankly at Ge, feeling that the answer was both absurd and somewhat reasonable.

Normal people definitely couldn't do it, but the people in the tribe weren't normal people.

Moreover, this method does not rely entirely on the strength of the tribesmen; it relies mostly on the weight of the trees themselves. As long as a tilting angle can be created and force is applied, the weight of the trees will break the roots.

Then, after trimming the excess parts of the tree, it was taken back to the tribe, and that was how a tree was cut down.

As for secondary cutting, it's even easier. Just place a stone or other hard object under the tree to create a height difference, and then you can simply slap or smash it to split the whole tree in two.

Jiang Luoluo pondered... It seemed that this method was indeed more convenient than using an axe to chop.

No, no.

Jiang Luolu shook her head again. There must be a reason for the axe's design; it allows people to achieve greater goals with less effort.

Methods like Go's are only suitable for powerful orc warriors, and it would be difficult for some of their people who are born with disabilities or have acquired physical disabilities to do such a thing.

Whether a tool is useful or not is never determined by how much more a strong person can do, but by enabling those who are not strong enough to do the same things.

Jiang Luoluo thought for a moment, then took out several pieces of wood of similar size and thickness from the pile of firewood next to her, and asked Ge Xian to try to break one of the pieces into small pieces according to her method.

Ge was slightly troubled, because the piece of wood was neither too big nor too small. Using a stone knife for assistance seemed unnecessary, but using his bare hands made it difficult to apply force.

However, in the end, Ge still managed to break the wood in half with his own strength, leaving Jiang Luolu in silence.

...This experiment seems a bit redundant.

However, Jiang Luoluo continued, binding the sharpened double-edged axe to a wooden stick and securing it for Ge to use.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Luoluo gave Ge a heads-up first—don't use too much force. With Ge's strength, if he were to swing his axe with all his might, the ground might crack open.

Ge obediently applied force gently... and then looked at the double-edged axe in his hand with slight surprise. Based on his perception and experience, this force should not have been enough to cut the wood.

But as it turns out, the weapon created by the cub did indeed have its unique features.

Then it was Jiang Luoluo's turn. She tried to separate the piece of wood with her bare hands, just like Ge had done. Unfortunately, even though she used all her strength, Jiang Luoluo still couldn't do it.

Although Jiang Luoluo is arguably the strongest among children her age, she is still just a child, and even when playing games, she can only throw stones that are a few tens of centimeters in diameter...

Then Jiang Luoluo picked up the axe again and chopped at the same spot two or three times, completely separating the wood that had been inseparable before.

The first two strikes were mainly due to Jiang Luoluo's poor control of her strength, which prevented her from separating the two pieces in one go. The second strike went slightly off course, and it was only on the third strike that she finally severed the piece completely.

Even so, the contrast was clear enough that Ge instantly realized the true purpose of the double-edged axe.

It's not about making strong people like him even stronger, but about enabling those without power to do the same things.

Without further hesitation, Ge told Jiang Luoluo, then picked up the double-edged axe and went up the mountain to find the shaman and the chief.

Watching Ge's demonstration, Wu finally remembered that when He first introduced the cub, he said it was a "Stone Age genius".

However, this title was completely overshadowed by the jams and delicious food she made in the cub's later performance, causing everyone to subconsciously overlook her talent.

However, it now seems that the cub's talent is perhaps the more important thing.

The leader, Jing, arrived late. Having just given his son a beating at home, he wanted to go back and beat him again after hearing about the new stone tool made by the cub Luo and its important role.

On the very first day the hunting party returned, Chief Jing had already spoken with the shaman and discussed the matter of the cub Luo. This was also the reason why Chief Jing had not gone to find the cub Luo.

Originally, during the hunt, Chief Jing had planned to investigate the background of the cub Luo after returning because of Ge, but after learning about the situation from the shaman, Chief Jing was relieved and did not disturb the cub Luo.

After all, when it comes to things that require thinking and judgment, he would definitely trust the shaman more.

After letting Ge take the two complete Earth Star Stones back, Chief Jing looked at the axe shape, which wasn't actually that complicated, and couldn't help but ask the shaman.

"Is this thing really not in your inherited memories? It doesn't seem like a very complicated thing."

Even though Wu had gotten used to her friend's personality over the years, she still couldn't help but roll her eyes.

With over 1,500 years of heritage, if everything were put into the inherited memories, it's uncertain whether he could still think clearly. He might be turned into an idiot or a madman by the memories.

Moreover... the inherited memories in the tribe were not always passed down stably. There were several breaks in between, and some things naturally disappeared along with them.

After all, if even the shaman can't remember something, how can ordinary people of the tribe record it?
