Chapter 124 Showing Off Skills
At this stage, as Zhou Xu’s tribal base camp, the total population of people who have long lived in Black Moon Camp is eighty-seven.
This number does not include Zhou Xu himself.
In other words, the construction team will have to build at least 87 dormitories, covering a total area of more than 1,000 square meters.
This workload is undoubtedly a bit huge for a construction team with only seven people and relying solely on human labor.
And in a short period of time, I am afraid there is no way to do this well.
In this way, it is imperative to add more manpower to the construction team.
After all, considering the construction of the camp, the workload on the construction team will only become larger and larger, and its importance will also increase with each passing day.
Laying out the piece of animal skin paper that he used to record the personnel allocation, Zhou Xu glanced at it a few times, and finally set his sights on the logging team.
The logging team and the construction team actually belong to the Construction Engineering Department. When allocating coolies before, considering the workload, most of the manpower at that time was assigned to the logging team by Zhou Xu.
After all, at that time, the construction team only needed to dig a canal that was not urgently used, while the logging team's job was to provide wood for the entire tribe.
Even today, Zhou Xu plans to separate a quarrying team from the logging team to collect stones.
In the past, the materials used by their tribes for construction or polishing stone tools generally came from two sources...
One was from the mines in the Salt Lake Camp. While mining, they would also A lot of stones are produced, and these stones are also transported regularly for tribal construction.
The other one is the daily collection of the collection team.
The collection team is one of the earliest formations of their tribe. In the early days, it was mainly responsible for collecting various resources.
Like picking up branches, picking up stones, catching bugs, looking for new things nearby, basically doing everything.
Later, with the development of the tribe, under Zhou Xu’s planning, many corresponding department teams were responsible for the corresponding collection work. However, the early collection teams gradually became more focused on chores. .
The reason why they were not disbanded directly was because their tribe really needed a team that could do odd jobs and go wherever they needed help.
But now, the work of the collection team has been further reduced.
In addition, the construction engineering department is now setting up a new team, and manpower is beginning to become scarce.
Naturally, Zhou Xu disbanded the collection team, formally merged it into the Construction Engineering Department, and then made new arrangements for the personnel of the Construction Engineering Department.
First of all, fourteen new members were added to the construction team. It happened that one old member was responsible for leading two new members.
Although the new team members have not accumulated any construction experience, they are still capable of hard work.
This also allows veteran team members to devote their time and energy to other work.
After simply arranging the work of the construction team, the personnel of the two collection teams, the logging team and the quarrying team, were directly divided 50-50.
Although at this stage, the demand for wood is higher, compared to quarrying work, the work efficiency of logging is obviously higher than that of quarrying.
So even with 50-50 manpower, the amount of wood they obtain every day is much more than stone.
After reassigning manpower to the construction engineering department, Zhou Xu’s work is obviously not finished yet.
The construction team and the logging team both have fixed working locations, which he does not need to worry about, but the newly established quarrying team does not.
Some people may think, aren’t stones everywhere in the wild?
Indeed, you can pick up a piece of stone from time to time in the wild, but for camp construction, this few stones are simply not enough.
In order to obtain a stable and sufficient amount of stone, they need to open a quarry!
This location is not difficult to choose, it is the Gobi outside the Salt Lake Camp. The quarrying team can carry out quarrying work in the quarry during the day, and after dark, return to the salt lake camp to rest.
Under this premise, there is also an accompanying stone output in the Black Forest Mine.
The stones on both sides can be transported in one batch, which is a lot more convenient.
After receiving the order, the newly established quarrying team immediately set off to the Salt Lake camp to prepare for quarrying work.
At this stage, the construction team is still digging the foundation, and there is no need for stone for the time being. But after the foundation is fully dug, the demand for gravel will suddenly increase.
Therefore, the work of the quarrying team must undoubtedly be accelerated.
After this, there is a transportation issue to consider.
Although there are wooden carts now, the stones are heavy after all, and they cannot process them carefully, so these stones are not regular and cannot be placed on the wooden carts. Everything is stable, which increases the difficulty of transportation in disguise.
Faced with these problems, Zhou Xu naturally thought of the animals pulling the cart again.
As long as there are animals that can pull the cart, this problem can basically be solved.
But the problem of livestock obviously involves the problem on the grassland. The 'dungeon' there is really too difficult for him now.
With his thoughts racing, Zhou Xu went to the equipment department to confirm the progress of the bamboo bow.
It is definitely not difficult for Zhuang Mengdie to simply make a bamboo bow, because Zhou Xu has basically drawn a relatively complete and clear design.
The key point is that Zhou Xu wants to make this bamboo bow shoot farther, be more powerful, and be more accurate! This requires improvement on the original basis, and this is where Zhuang Mengdie will be tested.
When Zhou Xu came to the equipment department, he saw Zhuang Mengdie fiddling with a bamboo bow in his hand.
“Is this the latest finished product?”
"Yes, leader."
After seeing Zhou Xu coming, Zhuang Mengdie hurriedly stood up and handed over the bamboo bow in his hand.
After taking the bamboo bow, Zhou Xu’s eyes fell on the main body of the bamboo bow for the first time, and then he was stunned...
"This is..."
“This is inspired by the combined structure that the leader taught us before. I found that a single bamboo piece, although very flexible, has limited strength, which also results in the power and range of the arrow fired. They are all limited, and the stability is not good..."
Zhuang Mengdie didn't talk much on weekdays, but when she talked about this bamboo bow, she turned into a talkative person every minute, and when she talked, she could talk endlessly.
“So I thought about whether we could increase the strength and stability of the bamboo bow by stacking bamboo pieces, and also make the bamboo bow more durable.”
“But there are The only problem is that the bamboo pieces need to be fixed..."
At this time, Zhou Xu has undoubtedly considered this problem that Zhuang Mengdie said, so he came here this time to talk to Zhuang Mengdie. Discussing a matter of making 'glue'.
To talk about the glue of this era, it is the colloid in various animals, which is what everyone calls collagen. To put it more simply, it is the sticky thing that everyone eats. part.
But Zhou Xu never expected that before he could talk about the glue, Zhuang Mengdie would use his skillful hands to make a big flower for him.
At this moment, the bamboo bow he was holding in his hand, and the bamboo pieces pressed together on the main body, were actually assembled by her with an extremely delicate and complex mortise and tenon structure. together.
Where are you making bamboo bows?
In Zhou Xu’s opinion, this is just showing off his skills! !
