67. Ewok's God
You can even see some children walking on the street accompanied by their guardians. These are Cryo-embryo adopted by residents. These embryos that have experienced accelerated growth are now equivalent to 2 or 3 years old. Their accelerated growth stops by age 20, and growth resumes at a normal rate thereafter.
But the price is that these Cryo-embryo grown people only have a life span of 50 years. If they want to reproduce, they need to be injected with specific genetic medicines. However, their offspring are normal humans.
Despite these shortcomings, Cryo-embryo can be used as a good way to expand the population base of civilization. After the 5 billion embryos are consumed, the entire Fourth Civilization should already be of considerable scale.
Tang Xiao walked around the street again, only to see a few Ewok. After selling the pearls they collected, they replaced them with large and small bags of potatoes and sweet potatoes, dragging them on the ground and heading out of the city. Seeing how hard they were working, Tang Xiao quickly stood aside to make way for them.
Who knew that when these Ewok saw Tang Xiao, they immediately threw away the food bags in their hands, knelt down to him and worshiped him continuously, and said some incomprehensible words in Ewokese.
"Eh? You guys, what do you mean by this?" Tang Xiao was shocked, and was at a loss for a moment. He didn't know whether to help them up or what to do.
"Haha! Manager, they are calling you Great Spirit!" An administrative official accompanying Tang Xiao said with a smile. He knows some Ewokese.
"What is Great Spirit?"
"Ewok believes in Pantheonism. They believe that everything in the world has gods. Among them, the Great Spirit is in charge of everything, Light Spirit (Light Spirit) is in charge of the day, and Night Spirit (Night Spirit) is in charge of the night. Spirit) second. They regard you as Great Spirit, almost giving you a god-level status, haha.
"Then what should I do now?" Tang Xiao asked, pointing to the Ewok who were still worshiping.
"If you don't help them up, they will keep bowing. Just help them up and touch their headdress, that'll be fine."
"Okay." Tang Xiao walked over and helped several Ewok up one by one, and then gently touched the jewelry on their heads.
These Ewok immediately cheered loudly. Each of them stuffed a Tang Xiao potato and ran away jumping. A confused Tang Xiao was left standing there holding a pile of potatoes in a daze.
"Manager, you can tell by looking at the sky." The official pointed at the sky.
Tang Xiao looked up and saw that the weather today was very clear and cloudless. Against the backdrop of the huge gas giant planet in the sky, we could actually see the figure of Glory mothership in synchronous orbit!
Speaking of which, Glory re-entered synchronous orbit today because it wanted to airdrop a batch of supplies to help with the construction of the colony, and it happened to appear in the sky.
"They regard the gas giant planet as the giant elves. We suddenly appeared here and you are our leader, so they think the mothership is Great Spirit, the son of the giant elves, and you are the incarnation of Great Spirit in the human world," the official explained.
"Okay... this identity is really..." Tang Xiao shook his head and didn't know what to say.
"By the way, manager, today Moonlight Festival, Bioengineering Department and Agriculture Department from Ewok will have a party with them. Will you come tonight?" the official asked.
"Okay, I will go in the evening." Tang Xiao nodded with a smile.
Night falls on the land of Dawn Star Planet, but the night of this planet is not so dark, because the sunlight reflected by the huge gas giant planet Endor still shines softly on the ground.
Sometimes, when the planet moves between the star and Endor gas giant, the phenomenon of extreme daylight will occur. However, what is different about this polar day is that the side facing the star is bright daytime, while the side facing the gaseous planet Endor is bright night.
Today is such a day.
According to the custom of Ewok, they will hold a grand dinner on the first seven days after the arrival of the sun. Because they believe that the end of the day is when Light Spirit and Night Spirit pay their respects to the giant elves and pray for a good harvest in the coming year.
Ewok will also use dances and songs to pray to the sky, hoping that the earth will no longer be angry (earthquakes), that beasts will no longer grow fangs, and that future generations will be free from illness.
In the open space between Dawn City and the forest outside the city, hundreds of Ewok were singing and dancing in front of a huge bonfire. They are very musical and can play rhythmic music with almost anything that can make a sound.
Animal skin drums, empty tree tubes, and even the helmets Marines of Fourth Civilization threw to them.
A huge corpse of Endorian Marsh Beast, more than ten meters long, was placed next to it - this was a large beast on Dawn Star Planet, and this one was hunted with the help of Fourth Civilization Marines.
The body of the swamp beast was cut into several sections. Ewok used a knife made of stone to cut off pieces of meat from the huge carcass, then roasted them over the fire and sprinkled them with their unique juice squeezed from plants. The fragrance was fragrant.
Bioengineering Department and Agriculture Department of Fourth Civilization were invited to attend this holiday dinner. They usually communicate with Ewok the most. They taught Ewok systematic farming and taught them to make more complex tools for hunting. It was also proposed by the Bioengineering Department people to bring some Ewok back to learn Galactic Standard and help the colonies work to earn income.
And Ewok has also helped them a lot, such as helping Bioengineering Department people identify various plants, become familiar with the habits of some animals, and whether those animals are suitable for raising, etc.
It is precisely because of this that Ewok invited people from the Bioengineering Department and Agriculture Department to participate in the first festival held after Fourth Civilization came to Dawn Star Planet. However, because it was quite lively here, many Dawn City residents also came over to join the banquet.
Tang Xiao and several Ewok tribal leaders were sitting on a high platform built with tree branches. From time to time, Ewok would run over to him to pray for blessings. Tang Xiao is now much more proficient. He will wait for Ewok who came to pray for blessings to kneel before touching the decoration on their heads.
Ewok has various decorations on his head, including leaves, bones, fruits, shells and so on. And according to those who know a little bit about Ewokese, these decorations have special meanings.
At the beginning of the party, Ewok was singing and dancing. Dawn City residents came to participate and also brought some beer. Although there is no brewery now, there is still some beer inventory in the mothership. This time, with the approval of Graham, who has been promoted to the mayor, half of the beer inventory was moved out.
