Chapter 67: The Ewok God
On the street, some children can even be seen walking on the street accompanied by their guardians. These are frozen embryos adopted by residents. These accelerated embryos are now equivalent to the age of 2 or 3 years old. Their accelerated growth stops by the age of 20, and normal growth rates thereafter.
But the price is that the people grown from these frozen embryos only have a lifespan of 50 years, and they need to be injected with specific genetic agents if they want to reproduce. But their offspring are normal people.
Despite these shortcomings, frozen embryos can serve as a good way to expand the population base of civilization. After 5 billion embryos are consumed, the entire Fourth Civilization should already have a fairly large scale.
Tang Xiao wandered around the street again, only to see a few Ewoks sold the pearls they had collected, and replaced them with large and small bags of sweet potatoes, dragging them on the ground and walking out of the city. Seeing how hard they were, Tang Xiao hurriedly stood aside to make way for them.
Who knew that these Ewoks immediately threw away the food bags in their hands when they saw Tang Xiao, knelt down and worshipped him continuously, and said some incomprehensible words in Ewok.
"Eh? You guys, what... do you mean?" Tang Xiao was startled, and was at a loss for a moment, not knowing whether to help them up or what to do.
"Haha! Supreme Commander, they are calling you a big elf!" An administrative official accompanying Tang Xiao said with a smile, he knew some Ewoks.
"What is a big elf?"
"The Ewoks believe in pantheism. They believe that everything in the world has gods. Among them, the Great Spirit is in charge of everything, followed by the Light Spirit in charge of the day and the Night Spirit in charge of the night. They treat you as a great elf, almost giving you the status of a main god, haha." The official said with a smile.
"Then what should I do now?" Tang Xiao asked, pointing at the few Ewoks who were still worshipping.
"If you don't help them up, they will keep praying. You can help them up and touch their headgear again, and it will be fine."
"Okay." Tang Xiao walked over to help the Ewoks up one by one and touched the ornaments on their heads lightly.
The Ewoks immediately cheered loudly. They stuffed Tang Xiao and a potato each and ran away bouncing around. Only Tang Xiao with a confused face was left standing there holding a pile of potatoes in a daze.
"Supreme Commander, you can tell by looking at the sky." The official pointed to the sky.
Tang Xiao looked up, the weather today was very clear and cloudless, against the backdrop of the huge gaseous giant planet in the sky, he could actually see the Mothership Glory in synchronous orbit!
Speaking of which, the Glory re-entered the synchronous orbit today because it was going to drop a batch of supplies to help the construction of the colony, and it happened to appear in the sky.
"They regard the gas giant planet as a giant elf, we suddenly appeared here, and you are our leader, so they think that the mothership is the giant elf's son, and you are the embodiment of the giant elf in the world." The official explained on the road.
"Okay...this identity is really..." Tang Xiao shook his head and didn't know what to say.
"By the way, the Supreme Commander, today is the Moonlight Festival of the Ewoks. People from the Department of Bioengineering and the Ministry of Agriculture will have a party with them. Are you coming tonight?" the official asked.
"Sure, I will go tonight." Tang Xiao smiled and nodded.
...
Night falls on the land of the Planet Dawn, but the night of this planet is not so dark, because the sunlight reflected by the huge gas giant Planet Endor is still softly sprinkled on the ground.
Occasionally, when the planet orbits between the star and the gas giant of Endor, there will be a polar day phenomenon. However, this polar day is a little different. The side facing the stars is a bright day, while the side facing the gas planet of Endor is a bright night.
Today is such a day.
According to the custom of the Ewoks, they will hold a grand dinner on the first seven days after the arrival of the polar day. Because they think that the extreme day is the time when the light elves and night elves greet the giant elves and pray for a good harvest in the coming year.
The Ewoks will also use dances and songs to pray to the sky, hoping that the earth will no longer be an angry earthquake, that the beasts will no longer grow fangs, and that future generations will be free from illness.
In the clearing between Dawn City and the forest beyond, hundreds of Ewoks sang and danced before a huge bonfire. They are very musical and can play rhythmic music with almost anything that can make sound at hand.
Animal skin drums, empty tree barrels, and even helmets were thrown at them by Marines from the Fourth Civilization.
A huge corpse of an Endoria swamp beast more than ten meters long was placed beside it—this is a large beast on the Planet Dawn, and this one was only hunted and killed with the help of the Fourth Civilization Marine Corps.
The body of the swamp beast was cut into several sections. The Ewoks themselves took a small knife made of stone and cut off a piece of meat from the huge corpse, then roasted it on the fire, and sprinkled their unique juice squeezed from plants. , the fragrance is tangy.
The Bioengineering Department and the Agricultural Department of the Fourth Civilization were invited to this festival dinner, and they usually communicate with the Ewoks the most. They taught the Ewoks systematic farming, taught them to make some more complex tools for hunting, and brought some Ewoks back to learn the Galactic standard language and help the colony work to earn income. It was also proposed by the people of the Bioengineering Department.
The Ewoks also helped them a lot, such as helping the people in the Bioengineering Department to identify various plants, familiarize themselves with the habits of some animals, and whether those animals are suitable for breeding, etc.
Because of this, people from the Department of Bioengineering and the Ministry of Agriculture were invited to participate in the first festival held by the Ewoks after the Fourth Civilization descended on Planet Dawn. However, because this place is very lively, many residents of Dawn City also rushed over to join the banquet.
Tang Xiao and several Ewok tribal leaders sat on a high platform built of branches, and from time to time, Ewoks came to him to pray for blessings. Tang Xiao is now much more proficient. He will wait for the Ewoks who came to pray for blessings to kneel down and then touch the decorations on their heads.
The decorations on the heads of Ewoks are various, including leaves, bones, fruits, shells and so on. And, according to those who know a little Ewok, the decorations have special meanings.
At the beginning of the party, the Ewoks were singing and dancing, and the residents of Dawn City came to participate and brought some beer. Although there is no brewery now, there are still some stocks of beer in the Mothership. This time, with the approval of Gullaham, who has been upgraded to the mayor, half of the stock of beer has been moved out.
