The key point of Chapter 81 (Additional update for those who have accumulated 600 monthly tickets before)
From the current point of view, the advantage of cavalry is too great.
And the racial advantages of those centaurs probably destined them to be inherently more powerful than ordinary human cavalry units.
Once the two sides face off, they have no advantage at all.
Even optimistically, even if they really win, how much price will they have to pay in the process?
Don't forget, he now has three camps under his command.
At present, if the more than one hundred tribe members are allocated reasonably, it will not be difficult to operate the three camps normally.
But once a batch is lost, it is very likely that one camp will have to be abandoned because there will not be enough manpower to maintain it.
Although this is an era of jungle, it is not enough to just think about ‘fighting and killing’.
You must know how to weigh the pros and cons rationally in order to develop in a more long-term and stable manner.
After arranging things here, Zhou Xu set off early the next morning and returned to Black Moon Camp.
I didn’t forget to dig some berry bushes along the way.
After all, this red berry has been confirmed to be a practical fruit, and it can supplement some trace elements that they cannot get from their daily diet.
Under this premise, Zhou Xu has broken open the pulp and confirmed that the core of the fruit is a very small one, which can be said to be smaller than a sesame seed.
Compared to planting and cultivating from the core, directly transplanting the original berry bushes is undoubtedly a more time-saving and labor-saving method for them.
There were no accidents along the way. With Ye Jinghong and the others' full exploration, they had fully mastered the section of the road from Black Moon Camp to Grassland Camp, and there were basically no risks along the way.
Back at the camp, Zhou Xu quickly called the logging team, and at the same time sent additional manpower to the logging team to let them start work as quickly as possible.
Immediately, he hurried to the equipment department to find Zhuang Mengdie.
Because for his plan to be implemented smoothly and efficiently, one very important point is whether the pallet truck that was previously given to Zhuang Mengdie can be successfully developed.
After all, in order to deal with the centaurs who may attack their camp, they need to deploy important defense facilities around the camp, that is, to resist horses.
But Juma is not a small thing. If you want to transport it smoothly from the Black Moon Camp to the Grassland Camp, without a trolley, the whole thing will become extremely difficult.
Of course, according to Zhou Xu's temperament, it is impossible for him to do anything he is not sure of.
In fact, when he set out from the Black Moon Camp to establish the grassland camp, the most difficult part for making a pallet truck had already been conquered by Zhuang Mengdie's skillful hands. .
After this, the whole thing is actually simple.
Almost the day after Zhou Xu and the others set out, the first cart of their tribe was officially born from the hands of Zhuang Mengdie.
However, without Zhou Xu's instructions, she did not give the cart to other tribe members without authorization.
Since the structure of the trolley itself is not complicated, Zhou Xu had already drawn it clearly when drawing the design drawing.
Although the actual objects made by Zhuang Mengdie's hands cannot be said to be exactly the same, at a glance, they look similar.
Holding the two extended handles with his hands, Zhou Xu tried to make simple push and pull movements.
Under the exertion of force, with the sound of 'click, click, click', the brand new cart was immediately pushed forward, making Zhou Xu couldn't help laughing.
This feeling is really wonderful, the excitement of creating things one by one, no matter how many times he comes, he will never get tired of it.
The person in this tribe who can best understand his feelings is undoubtedly Zhuang Mengdie, who built this wooden cart with his own hands.
Zhuang Mengdie was undoubtedly the first to test and get the answer as to whether this wooden cart could carry out normal push-pull movements. But now, as she looked at the wooden cart that was moving steadily under the push and pull of their leader, Zhuang Mengdie's face was still filled with excitement that could not be concealed at all.
The process of pushing and pulling the wooden cart cannot be said to be completely smooth. It is still a bit shaken overall.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
On the one hand, it is purely hand-polished, and there are some errors. It is impossible to achieve 100% absolute accuracy.
The other reason is even more unavoidable.
That means the road is uneven...
In this era, let alone the roads in the wild, even the roads in their camp cannot be completely smooth.
Under this premise, there are no shock-absorbing measures in this era. The wooden carts are generally made of hardwood. It is impossible to avoid bumping and shaking at all.
Basically, Zhuang Mengdie was very satisfied that he was able to achieve this in a limited period of time with pure manual polishing.
"Well done, I'll reward you with five fish, whatever you want!"
The successful production of the wooden cart was enough to qualitatively improve the transportation capacity of their tribe.
Compared to the value of the wooden cart, the reward of five fishes was simply insignificant in Zhou Xu's opinion.
After giving the reward, Zhou Xu quickly changed the topic back to business.
"How is the second wooden cart doing?"
Before setting off, Zhou Xu estimated that the first wooden cart would be completed soon, so he specifically told Zhuang Mengdie, after confirming that the production was completed and there were no problems, he directly started making the second one.
It has been seven days since he left, and Zhou Xu is still very concerned about the progress of the second wooden cart.
After all, there is only one, which is definitely not enough.
Considering the distance to the third camp and the current special situation, for Zhou Xu at this time, the more wooden carts the better.
At least there needs to be a Wutai to completely increase the transportation capacity of their tribe, right?
But he also knew that this was somewhat of a luxury.
After hearing Zhou Xu's words, Zhuang Mengdie made a rough estimate in his mind and then said...
"In three days, the second wooden cart should be ready. Done.”
You know, this is after Zhuang Mengdie has successfully made his first wooden cart, accumulated a certain amount of experience, and improved his production efficiency.
Of course Zhou Xu also knew that in this era, it was not easy to polish such parts, but he couldn't help but ask again.
“Can it be faster?”
“Make a few more, and once you are fully proficient, the efficiency should be improved again, right?”
The tone of Zhuang Mengdie who said this was not particularly certain.
"But according to my feeling, it will take seven to eight days no matter how fast it is."
"Do you think other members of the department can learn it? With their help, a lot of work can be done at the same time, and the efficiency should be good Will it be improved further?"
"Well, I think it can be learned, but I'm afraid it will take a lot of time..."
"..."
