Chapter 624: Cannon Fodder Licking Dogs in the Beast World Farming Story (16)
If the entire tribe were to join in, the food normally collected would not be enough to feed everyone.
As the new leader, he will definitely consider accepting more strong wolves at this time.
When the time comes, these old people...
Several old people looked at each other, as if they had guessed their future ending, with a bit of bitterness on their faces.
Jiang Lai saw their concerns and shook his head with a smile.
"Our tribe has very strict admission requirements. You can come in if you want, but it depends on whether the talisman meets my conditions."
Strict?
Didn't they come in easily?
"You are different. You are the first group of backbones. From now on, you will help me manage the tribe. Even if someone wants to join, I will ask for your opinion.
You guys know the wolf clan better than I do, and I will have to rely on you in the future. ”
Jiang Lai's character changed a lot.
When he is strict, he is like an unreasonable leader who only gives instructions for everyone to obey unconditionally.
But occasionally she would become approachable, giving the elderly people here an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
With the two personalities intertwined, everyone who gradually became familiar with Jiang Lai also figured out how to get along with her.
That is to do what you should do, don't make your own decisions, do more and talk less, so that you can live in peace with her.
A simple sentence put everyone's heart at ease.
What the leader said must be true. As long as they follow these instructions, they will be able to continue to live a good life.
The first batch of bricks has been dried and aired. Thanks to the special climate of this continent, although there is a lot of snow, the air is very dry.
After trying more than a dozen times, the fire in the cave was finally able to keep burning vigorously.
The first pass is dry firing, which will dry out all the water vapor in the cave and raise the temperature.
After that, dead branches, pine leaves, wheat straw, straw and other fuels are added continuously to slowly burn and bake.
After the temperature stabilizes, the bricks can be put into the kiln.
This step was very laborious, but fortunately Jiang Lai had some strength, A Yuan was even more powerful, and with the help of the leader and others, all the first batch of two thousand bricks were put into the cave dwelling.
Everyone was very curious and didn't understand what Jiang Lai was doing.
After the first batch of bricks entered the kiln, Jiang Lai started making the second batch of bricks non-stop.
During this period, Ah Yuan had been standing by the cave dwelling, constantly adding fuel to the cave.
Once the cave dwelling is burning, the fire cannot be stopped.
Ever since Jiang Lai said this, Ayuan has been staying here day and night.
His endurance was excellent, and he could keep the fire burning steadily in the brick kiln for more than ten days.
Finally, the bricks come out of the kiln.
Everyone came to help.
Even the two grandmothers were helping to transport bricks outside.
Everyone who saw Brick for the first time was stunned by this magical brick.
Hard, square and solid.
The most important thing is that it won't break even if it falls to the ground.
Not one of the two thousand bricks was wasted, and they were shipped out completely!
Jiang Lai was also a little surprised.
After all, this was her first time trying to bake bricks, so it was normal for the failure rate to be around 20%.
But now, with a 100% success rate, she was once again impressed by the resources of this continent.
With a suitable climate and abundant resources, the Beast World Continent already has the necessary conditions for development.
Especially when Jiang Lai discovered another precious resource while digging a cave dwelling.
iron ore.
There was already a large amount of iron slag in the cave. After more than ten days of high-temperature baking, the slag fell on the bricks. Jiang Lai, who had planned to bake red bricks, directly obtained a batch of harder and stronger blue-gray green. brick.
With this successful experience, Jiang Lai fired another five thousand bricks.
These bricks were transported to the courtyard wall, and Jiang Lai demonstrated, teaching the wolves step by step how to build the wall.
To build the wall, Jiang Lai used limestone knocked from the snowy mountains and ground into powder, as well as mortar and ground glutinous rice flour.
Glutinous rice is found in the fields, so you don’t need to add too much, so it’s easy to get.
The difficulty was the lime powder, which was difficult to grind, so Jiang Lai wasted a lot of effort. Finally, he made a homemade manual grinding stone to make this process easier.
Finally, mix lime powder, mortar and glutinous rice flour in proportion, and the resulting adhesive is almost the same as modern cement.
Although not as corrosion-resistant as cement, it is sufficient for foundation construction.
Everything is ready to start building the wall.
From the inside of the wooden pile fence, we circle around and slowly transform the former wooden fence into a brick wall.
In this way, the first batch of masons on the ancient continent were born.
The speed of the bricks coming out of the kiln is still too slow, but now the only one besides Jiang Lai who can control the heat is A Yuan. There is no point in being impatient, we can only burn it slowly and build it slowly. Anyway, winter is still growing, and everything is They have plenty of time to consolidate their new home before recovering.
Because the fire in the cave cannot be extinguished, everyone has to take turns to guard it. A Yuan is there most of the time. When he is resting, the old leader will guard it.
The new wall was quite hard. A Yuan tried it. When he turned into a wolf and rushed forward, he was unable to break through this layer of obstruction.
The barbed wire on top of the wall contains many sharp barbs and is electrified.
There is a circle of wooden piles outside. The tribe is now reinforced and airtight. In addition, the tribe also has a group of wolves who are always ready to defend their homeland with blood. The entire forest, whether they are afraid of death or not. , they didn’t dare to come over easily.
One night when we were all sitting together for dinner, one of the grandmothers said something very meaningful.
"The big tree attracts the wind, and many orcs are already eyeing our tribe."
Just from the eager eyes outside the wall, it can be seen that in this cold winter, all the orcs are coveting the treasures within the wall.
If they really unite to besiege the tribe, even if the barbed wire fence and wall can be defended, they will not be able to hold it for long.
This question also lingers in the minds of others.
A Yuan looked at Jiang Lai.
"Chief, I will defend the tribe to the death."
"Okay, okay, how can you defend the tribe if you are dead? Eat first, and then talk after eating."
Now the two old ladies are getting better and better at cooking. Jiang Lai looks forward to breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, so she pays special attention during meals and basically doesn't speak.
Everyone also shut up and immersed themselves in eating.
After dinner, the lights in the yard came on, like daylight.
Everyone has long been accustomed to being able to see everything clearly at night, so they have a lot more time at their disposal.
In the past, all I could do at night was sleep.
It's different now, with light, they can do whatever they want during the day.
For example, right now, they could clearly see the wooden crossbow in front of them and the target ten meters away. (End of chapter)
