It's been a couple of days since I declared the project "C" execution
But how can we start a new civilization?
Like from the zero...!!
This question never left mine head since then
If you ask me what we made so far!?
Just some random handmade wooden products, alot of it are failed products
What we lacks are not just equipments or raw materials...
Most importantly we lacks skills
Where to start with!!?
Let's say mine modern knowledge can't help that much here, like for example :
I know how to build a simple wooden house
Gaming experience I would say, but here's the thing, do we have the skills to do so?
Let's say we got the woods cutting skill, but how about the other tasks? How about nails? How about saws??
In fact our perfectly made axes helps us alot, we can make simple wooden boards, like the boards we fire engrave on, but that alone is not near enough...
What we made so far are things like tables, chairs, a very primitive dinning hall to be specific, it's just a long wide log that been cut vertically to be used as a long table for ten people to the left, ten people to the right and lastly one person on one edge, a total of twenty one for one such table, while the chairs with the same principles, but abit lower than the table's height, a total of six sets enough for more clones to come later.
Sadly I can't call that an achievement, because it doesn't change much as we don't have a kitchen...
By the way, mine guys already made a stove, kiln and oven, that took a place before mine declaration, they hurriedly made them thinking that we finally had a cook
Yes, they thought that woman would cook for the whole army
What a dream...
Let's not talk about her anymore!!
A kitchen is needed indeed
But not before we get a cook
.
Hmmn!!
What about houses??
For now, aside from me who sleep on mine warm cape, mine fellows always sleep at the ground, which is not cold deep inside the cave, but we will make beds with the houses
The results are...
We can survive as we are right now
But we are not developing anything
Then back to the first question again
Aaargh!! Such a loop
Never trust Games, it's such a fantasy
Like words, easily said than done.
.
Conclusion!!
We need tools to build big projects
We need materials to make tools
And once again we need tools to get other materials aside from woods
So we back again to the same loophole
Aside from axes, we need other kind of tools to break out the loophole
Can we do other things with axes??
The answer was a BIG NO!
We tried that yesterday, and almost all our axes' handles been broken
To make things worse, we tried to fix them the easy way, by burning the wood parts and replace it with new ones, but the metalic part were ruined by the huge fire
Which bring us to present
Let's remake the metal we have
This is our desperate attempt
To turn the previous tragedy to a big achievement...
.
Rather than a kitchen for food
We made an open space for smithing
Augh what a turn of events
... Eleven, twelve?!
So they already prepared twelve furnaces!
Yes me lord?
Mine Aslan heard me...
Why just eleven?
It's a good number to be fair
Sorry me lord, but we couldn't finish the thirteenth in time... So we
No worries, this is good enough for now!
So I said, but it's actually more than enough for the time being, we can set up more when needed, let's not push things, and one step at a time, no rush...
.
So!! Me lord??
Hu..! What is it?
He had something to say, yet reluctant!!
Aside from the unfinished furnaces, we prepared everything me lord ordered...
That's good, and??
It seem he didn't get to the point yet.
How should we deal with the magma me lord?
Ouff!!
So I slap mine forehead
It's no wonder they didn't start the fire yet
But...
Why haven't you told me earlier??
I thought me lord were preparing a solution?
Damn it
What a dilemma
And here I was jumping to an unnecessary negative results, when we don't have the means to continue the chain of process to produce what we planned!!
.
Swords!!
We don't need that for now
Knives?
We have similar things such as kunai, daggers... So it's a no
Hammers!!
We can use the back of the axe head, so we can leave it for later when there's enough metal to melt.
More axes??
Definitly not, because we will get more with every coming newborn clone.
We planned to make tools like pickaxes, for mining and plowing the lands, chisels, shovels, any basic tools we can make.
.
Pathetic
After we prepared everything including the moulds, the rest of the day been wasted on making clay pottery to replace the crucibles
Like how the hell would we make crucibles??
So we decided to put our hopes on pottery making...
The sad part, is that we had to perfect it
And wait days to dry before we put it in kiln, not using the one we had, because it have to be big enough, we made a new one
So before going for the metal industry, we are working on our pottery skills.
For mine positive view, it's a skill that we need to practice sooner or later
I mean the one task army is not literarily about one task for ever, but a one task at a time
That in mine openion as a gamer is what I call "jack of all trades", doesn't matter the rest of this old saying, because not every clone needed to master all the skills
.
How unexpected
Yet I'm satisfied
Yes, pottery...
Why not??
It should have been mine first choice after the woods industry...
Like for example :
Rather than the wooden bowl, it's easier and faster to make one from clay, that if we ignore the rest of process after shaping the clay.
Although I'm being positive about it
I won't rest assured, till I see the final results of the metalic products we are expecting.
