Chapter 123 House Building Plan
Although the Black Moon Camp, as the base camp, is geographically close to the center of his territory and the surrounding area is relatively safe, the issue of defense that is vital to the survival of the tribe cannot be relaxed.
The 'Skeleton Summons' move only summons them, not letting them return to their original positions.
Although Zhou Xu can control them with ‘Skeleton Soldier Control’, even with ‘Skeleton Soldier Control’ or even ‘Enhanced Skeleton Soldier Control’.
Zhou Xu issued an order to ‘return to your original position’, but these skeleton soldiers couldn’t understand it at all.
The only way is to let him command these skeleton soldiers back one by one.
But in this case, it would be better to ask the tribe members to carry these skeletons back for deployment to save trouble.
In this way, Zhou Xu's test of the mantra unexpectedly added a lot of workload to the already busy and confused tribe members.
It’s a new day, and with the temperature rising day by day, the construction team headed by Wang Dashi is currently sweating profusely.
It took them a lot of energy and time to polish the mortise and tenon structure on the main frame of the house according to the design drawings drawn by their leader, but now it is finally polished.
During this period, the allocated manpower has also dug the fifty square meters of foundation. At this time, the construction of the house frame has finally officially begun.
For the sake of safety, while fixing the frame with the help of the mortise and tenon structure, they also did not forget to use thick enough bark rope to bind and wrap it, mainly for peace of mind.
Before, the construction team was basically doing hard work. It was also the first time to do this kind of work that required some skills. The whole work efficiency was not high, but after spending most of the day, I just finished it. The main frame of an entire house was erected.
At this moment, looking at the frame of the house in front of me, let alone the tribe members watching nearby, even the members of the construction team headed by Wang Dashi, after the initial surprise, now have expressions on their faces. His expression was nothing but a silly smile.
It is completely unimaginable that such a powerful thing was built by them.
For a moment, a strong sense of satisfaction and pride intertwined, almost completely overwhelming them.
Of course, all this was thanks to the design drawings provided by their leader, otherwise, they would not have known that the wood could be combined in this way.
This unconstrained creativity simply amazed them!
“Captain, the mud and rock slurry is ready.”
“Okay, we’ve almost rested, let’s start working quickly!”
Amidst Wang Dashi's shouting, the members of the construction team shouted a few times to cheer themselves up for work.
This mud-rock slurry was undoubtedly prepared in accordance with their leader's wishes.
Mix soil, gravel, water and stir evenly. This mud-rock slurry is undoubtedly used to fill the foundation.
As the main pillar of this house, in order to ensure the stability of the house, they have a section directly buried in the soil.
Now that all the pillars have been fixed, under the command of Wang Dashi, the mixed mud and stone slurry was poured into the pit one by one.
The mud-rock slurry is thick and slowly spreads after it is poured down. After the entire hole is filled, the work is temporarily over.
While waiting for the mud-rock slurry to dry and solidify, Wang Dashi and the others were not idle at all. They had to work hard on the bamboo material for the wall.
As an efficiencyist, Zhou Xu is also a typical example of squeezing labor from another perspective. The entire process is fully arranged for the construction team.
The weather is hot now and the sun is poisonous. The mud is quickly dried and solidified, which actually improves their efficiency in disguise.
According to Zhou Xu’s plan, after the bamboo wall was erected, a layer of lake mud was pasted inside and outside, and finally the thatch roof was covered. No matter which angle you look at the building, The mud and stone house without any defects is considered completed. On the day the house was completed, it undoubtedly attracted the attention of everyone in the camp.
Although it can be said that this thatched house was built bit by bit by the tribe members watching the whole process.
But when it was actually completed, the building in front of them, which was completely outside the scope of their common sense, still gave everyone a sufficient shock.
Compared with the house in front of me, the patches of animal skin tents in the residential area simply looked shabby.
During this period, Zhou Xu, who finally got a house, was very excited inside.
Pushing open the two wooden doors, Zhou Xu walked into the house. At that moment, the change in temperature was so obvious. The coolness that enveloped his whole body made him feel comfortable, who was sweating profusely.
Looking around the house, it was already filled with simple furniture.
A bed made of bamboo, a bamboo chair, and a stable wooden table are all the furniture in the house.
At the same time, two windows were made in this room, placed next to the bed and next to the desk.
On the one hand, ventilation issues are taken into consideration, and on the other hand, lighting issues are taken into consideration.
After all, no light can come in inside this room. If he needs to work during the day, he can just open the window and natural light can shine in.
Beside the window, there is a small stick used to support the window. It really took them a lot of effort to make the window and the door.
Considering the current era, it is really hard to live in such a house.
Zhou Xu naturally praised the work of the construction team and generously rewarded each team member with eggs.
At this point of development, his tribe basically no longer needs to worry about food problems.
Under this premise, compared to the fish and meat that are eaten every day, eggs are currently considered a relatively rare food here in the Black Moon Camp.
In the hearts of tribe members, the reward for eggs is already higher than the reward for ordinary fish.
Accepting the reward happily, of course the work of the construction team cannot end here.
In other words, their work has just begun now.
Facing the gradually entering midsummer season, it is undoubtedly very important to provide them with a cool place to rest.
Therefore, according to Zhou Xu's idea, he wanted to comprehensively upgrade the entire tribe's residential area and replace all the original animal skin tents with thatched houses.
Of course, if they were all built as a single-family house like his, it is estimated that even if the construction is over this summer, the engineering team will not be able to finish it.
So for the remaining thatched houses, he plans to build them into dormitories, with rows of small rooms separated by walls. Each room is about twelve square meters, and can accommodate beds and a little space. There is a little free space, which is enough for ordinary members.
Of course, Zhou Xu naturally plans to give some preferential treatment to important members of the tribe in terms of accommodation.
For example, like Zhuang Mengdie, she may also need a desk that allows her to unfold the animal skin paper in time to design or record some ideas.
Therefore, there will be a separate row of dormitories for cadres like this, each with an area of 20 square meters, which can accommodate an extra desk.
