Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Of course, Zhou Xu originally had women under his command, but the number was very small.

The reason is very simple. They fled from the beginning, and the tribes they later recruited waited for the other tribes to go through the baptism of winter and screen the population before recruiting them.

In other words, the weak population died in the process.

These undoubtedly include the elderly, women and children.

Some tribes even consciously kill the old, weak, women and children in order to improve their chances of surviving the winter, thereby saving food resources and reducing survival pressure.

Therefore, there were basically no elderly or children under Zhou Xu's command, and they had all died before that.

As for women, there are some, but very few.

Under this premise, most of the women were concentrated in Zhuang Mengdie's equipment department.

There is no doubt about Zhuang Mengdie's high status in their country. Ordinary villagers don't dare to covet her. Even the status of female employees in her department has also risen.

After all, Zhuang Mengdie is protecting her. If she doesn't want to, no one can do anything about it.

Therefore, in their big week, there have always been more wolves and less meat.

Fortunately, everyone here is extremely busy with work every day. They are so tired at the end of the day that they fall asleep after eating. They don't have much energy to think about reproducing offspring.

However, among this group of prisoners, many women were escorted over.

Basically, wherever there are suitable positions, they are delivered to every village.

After all, according to the physical fitness and strength of a normal woman, being sent to a mine or a logging team probably wouldn't be of much help. Therefore, such prisoners are usually arranged to work in places like weaving factories.

The appearance of this group of female captives undoubtedly stimulated many men in the village and gave them some impulses to reproduce.

Regarding fertility, although they now need more people, Zhou Xu himself does not encourage more children at all.

Considering long-term development, the birth of new population is very important, there is no doubt about this.

But you also have to understand what's happening now.

The current situation is that after the beginning of spring, they will most likely face the invasion of lizard people. For this reason, what he needs is a ready-made population of young adults to supplement his troops and labor force, not to raise children.

Calculating the time, he was summoned last spring, and now it is the early winter of this year. Counting all the times, it is less than two years.

It takes less than two years from conception to birth of a child. How old is that child? What's the use?

The only effect is to cause them trouble.

At the same time, don’t forget that in this era, the level of medical care is very low, and giving birth often involves huge risks.

Ignoring the situation of unexpected fetal death during pregnancy, it is assumed that the pregnant woman can successfully carry the fetus for ten months and it is time to give birth.

How do you ensure that you can give birth to your child safely? If you are not careful, you will kill two people.

Of course, let’s assume that your child is born successfully, but the child is fragile and is at risk of dying before he grows up.

Even if they can grow up healthily and form a labor force, it will be many years later.

In the process of pregnancy, childbirth, and raising children, a woman's labor force will be affected that cannot be ignored, and she may even be unable to work.

Combining all the above reasons, Zhou Xu's brain was caught by the door panel, so he started to have more children to create trouble for himself.

It would be best if no one gets pregnant with him now, lest it affect their internal workforce.

Childbirth is a matter of peaceful times, but this is not a peaceful time.

Of course, he didn't intend to deliberately stop it, so he just let nature take its course.

In the morning, he briefly inspected the work in Heiyue Village. In the afternoon, Zhou Xu rode directly to Salt Lake Village.

"Have the prairie elves that were delivered yesterday settled down?"

"Report to the leader, everything is settled."

Zhou Xu was not particularly concerned about the current situation of the grassland elves. He just asked casually after meeting Li Shitou, the village chief.

After that, he went directly to Wang Dong and explained his purpose of coming.

"Ancient Elvish?"

"I thought you would act a little more interested."

Wang Dong laughed when he heard this.

"I'm a Chinese teacher, not an archaeologist."

While speaking, Wang Dong's voice paused slightly.

"But I do have some interest, so that's fine with me."

Having said this, Wang Dong nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"But according to what you said, leader, this is someone else's procedure. You don't have the authority to deal with it at will. In this case, can you let me use it?"

Wang Dong's question was a good one.

"Leaving aside the more complicated sample that even I can't peep into, this 'primary weapon blessing' was probably used by the craftsmen of the old civilization. It was considered a relatively basic thing in the old civilization, and its authority was not high in the first place."

"At that time, after I extracted the sample from the silver steel sword, I cast this mantra on the silver steel sword. The mantra on the silver steel sword was activated again, but the mantra sample was still in my body. This What does it mean?"

Faced with this problem, Wang Dong figured it out in a flash of his mind.

"This shows that this 'program' is actually replicable. What the other party blessed on the silver steel sword is a replica, and what you got is actually a replica."

"That's right!"

Zhou Xu affirmed Wang Dong's conclusion.

"I thought about this issue for a long time. I found that adding this semi-permanent effect to a weapon is completely different from simply activating a mantra."

"The activation of the mantra is after I started the program, the program gave me the desired effect, but the blessing on the silver steel sword is different. It is not just an effect, but a program is directly installed on it."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xu's tone was obviously a little excited.

"So this move is essentially not as simple as starting the program, but directly giving a complete replica of the silver steel sword!"

The more Zhou Xu talked about this, the more incredible it became.

Because he discovered that, in his opinion, it was just a simple "primary weapon blessing" as a "three-in-one", but its internal structure was far more complicated than he imagined.

There is also a difference between 'copiable and non-copyable', 'giveable and non-giveable'!

Those three combinations were just the core blessings inside, but in fact, the 'primary weapon blessing' also included many designs and blessings that he couldn't see through!
