Chapter 87: The Pleasure of Giving Homework
Faced with this kind of problem, when he was unsure, Luo Ji decisively opened his friends list, sent a message to Gao Su, and briefly explained his situation.
About five minutes later, Gao Su gave him a positive reply, confirming Luo Ji’s analysis was correct.
Although the skill did not have a cooldown limit, it was not meant to be used casually.
It seemed that each use would cause a certain degree of physical exertion.
Using it too many times in a row could lead to symptoms such as physical exhaustion, dizziness, and splitting headaches.
Of course, the exact number of times it could be used still depended on each person’s attribute panel and physical fitness.
Feeling like he had pushed himself too hard, Luo Ji looked up at the sky.
Judging from the position of the sun, it was likely 1 or 2 PM. His head was spinning, and he had no energy to deal with affairs.
Dragging his head, which felt like it had been filled with several kilograms of cement, Luo Ji decided to go back to his tent for a nap.
However, before sleeping, he did not forget to tell someone to inform Luo Jin, asking Luo Jin to take his reconnaissance team to investigate the barbarians who had appeared today, following their direction.
Afterward, with everything arranged, Luo Ji finally had a few peaceful days.
During this time, after inspecting the progress of various tasks throughout the tribe each day, he would take his literacy flashcards and teach the children in the tribe to read.
He even triggered a ‘Writing’ cultural project along the way.
Looking at the effect, it turned out to be another self-sufficient project that increased culture points.
A dejected Luo Ji quickly went to ask Gao Su about the purpose of developing cultural projects.
Or rather, what was their use?
After asking, from Gao Su’s reply, Luo Ji discovered that there were indeed many uses.
Firstly, if culture developed well, it could improve the basic intelligence of many citizens within the civilization.
At the same time, when bearing offspring, it could increase the chance of intelligent talents appearing.
This alone was enough to convince Luo Ji to develop culture.
Secondly, when the number of people who have received cultural education in a city accounts for over 70% of the total population, the city’s livability increases by 1.
Finally, only when culture develops to a certain degree can technological development projects be unlocked.
Looking at the last point, a glimmer of understanding flashed across Luo Ji’s face.
Yes, if the civilization was full of illiterates, how could technological projects be developed?
At this moment, Luo Ji immediately solidified his resolve to develop cultural projects.
At the same time, he also thoroughly enjoyed the entire process of teaching the tribal children to read, especially when he gave them homework.
Ah!
This pleasure that welled up from the bottom of his heart!
Such days passed for a few more days.
During this time, the Mirror Tribe, which had been quite stable, finally welcomed a major event.
Luo Ji’s fortifications, which had been under construction for several months, were finally nearing completion!
Hearing the construction team’s report, Luo Ji’s emotions were clearly excited.
Building a perimeter wall in this era was no easy feat.
After months of hard work, he could not help but shed a tear of hardship.
The wall, which encompassed the entire Mirror Tribe and an outer area, was only one step away from completion, the installation of the city gate!
This step clearly required Luo Ji to do it himself.
After all, the entire city gate structure needed to be driven by a pulley system mechanism.
Aside from Luo Ji, the other people in the tribe clearly would not understand these things.
As for Luo Ji teaching these people who had not even graduated from elementary school about junior high physics, forget it.
Just thinking about it made his brain ache.
After assembling the entire pulley system mechanism, with the completion of the city gate’s installation, the entire outer wall connected together.
Controlling the excitement in his heart, Luo Ji raised his hand, signaling the construction team members to start turning the two wheels installed on the inner side of the city gate.
The two men who stepped out of the team exchanged glances.
As members of the construction team who had made this gate, they knew how heavy this gate was.
When they transported it, it took over ten adult men to exert force together to barely move it here.
Although they had made the city gate according to the design, they could not imagine how such a heavy city gate, once closed, could be opened again.
“Get to it.”
“Hold that handle and turn the wheel in front of you.”
Luo Ji explained briefly, seeing the two men standing there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
Out of loyalty to Luo Ji, although both men felt a bit baffled, they still honestly did as instructed.
Their hands gripped the long handle, and they simultaneously began to exert force.
However, the wheel in front of them barely budged.
This result made the two men instinctively glance at Luo Ji’s position.
“Leader…”
“Use your full strength. Don’t worry about breaking it. This thing isn’t that fragile.”
Hearing Luo Ji’s words, the two exchanged glances and began to exert force on the wheel again.
One could clearly see the muscles on their arms bulging.
Driven by this force, the previously unmoving wheel finally stirred and began to rotate slowly, then pulling the pulley system into operation.
As a series of cracking sounds entered the two men’s ears, before they could even turn to look, bursts of uncontrollable exclamations erupted from the surrounding onlookers.
“The city gate, the city gate is rising!”
“It’s rising?”
The two men, who were facing away from the city gate and pushing the wheels with all their might, simultaneously froze.
When they turned the wheel to its limit, and then, according to Luo Ji’s instructions, used the pre-prepared latch to secure the wheel, the two, who had been impatient, did not even have time to catch their breath.
They immediately turned back to look at the city gate behind them.
The impact that struck them in that instant caused them to freeze in place, their faces filled with undisguised shock.
“It’s, it’s rising? It actually rose?!”
Looking at the raised city gate, even with the facts before their eyes, the two still could not believe their eyes.
It actually rose?
The city gate that required over ten people to barely lift was just raised by their two strengths alone?
How was this done?
It was simply too incredible.
The crowd, who had no idea what a ‘pulley system’ was, could only continuously marvel at the magic of the scene before them, and their gazes towards Luo Ji became even more respectful.
