Chapter 130 Camp Operation
The combination of mortise and tenon structure and glue can improve sufficient stability and strength without affecting production efficiency to the maximum extent.
This is simple to say, but not simple at all to do.
Which part uses mortise and tenon structure, and which part uses glue? How to allocate it to be the most cost-effective?
This is something that needs to be carefully considered and tried.
During this period, he received a report from Zhuang Mengdie, which made Zhou Xu fall into brief contemplation.
If this bamboo bow continues to be developed, it means that they have to invest more time.
When the time comes, even if the new bamboo bow is successfully developed and put into mass production, it will still take a lot of time.
This will undoubtedly greatly slow down their overall armed efficiency, which makes Zhou Xu, who has recently been eager to improve the tribe's combat power and train, a little hesitant.
But he was still a straightforward person after all, and after thinking about it for a while, he agreed.
Sharpening the knife will not delay the woodcutter, and now is the time to ‘sharpen the knife’.
Although the production and training of bows and arrows have been postponed, their tribe has just completed the first batch of recruitment.
Let’s not talk about other training. As for weapon training, even if you are unable to conduct bow and arrow training for the time being, you can still conduct stone ax training and spear training.
The daily training items are basically fixed. After a period of training, even if Zhou Chongshan and Li Ce are not here, the soldiers in the camp know what they need to do every day. This is a good thing for them. Saved a lot of worry.
But saving worry does not mean saving effort.
The recruitment work in this camp has come to an end for the time being. Will it also start in other camps?
Needless to say, on a new day, Zhou Xu took Zhou Chongshan and Li Ce directly to the Salt Lake Camp to recruit troops.
The population of Salt Lake Camp has increased after the addition of the quarrying team.
But the work pressure is also high. At the same time, as a functional small camp, the Salt Lake Camp cannot compare with the Black Moon Camp as the base camp in terms of size and population.
Considering the matter of maintaining the normal operation of the camp, even the Black Moon Camp has only recruited ten soldiers, why shouldn’t the Salt Lake Camp be reduced in half?
After one trip, only five were collected.
According to Zhou Xu's previous thinking, in order to minimize the impact of conscription on the camp's labor force, these soldiers usually have to do hard work for various departments in the camp.
Considering this, the five soldiers recruited from the Salt Lake Camp naturally cannot be taken to the Black Moon Camp. They can only be trained here in the Salt Lake Camp for the time being, and they can also serve as soldiers here. Garrison troops on a daily basis to ensure the safety of the camp.
When the soldiers are familiar with the training process and there are no major problems for the time being, they will leave and go to the grassland camp to recruit soldiers.
During this process, he also thought about the barren mountain camp.
The Barren Mountain Camp, with a population of one hundred, is the camp with the largest population in their tribe.
Originally, according to Zhou Xu's idea, his first group of soldiers were the top priority, and there were not many to choose from, so he had to carefully select each one and follow the route of elite soldiers.
However, the distance to the barren mountain camp is too far, and it takes too much time to go back and forth.
There was no other way. After many weighings, Zhou Xu decided to hand over this matter to Shi Lei, who was in charge there.
Early this morning, the person responsible for delivering the order had already set off with the transport team.
During this period, as the new plan for the camp was fully developed, the construction of the barren mountain camp completely shifted to the inside of the mountain.
Under this premise, since they needed to provide a large amount of bamboo for the construction of the camp, Shi Lei also had to expand the territory outwards and include the bamboo forest area within their territory.
But in this way, they will inevitably interact with some tribes deep in the mountains and forests...
The same is true on this day. After discovering each other's existence, both sides obviously Their nerves were tense, and the other party frequently sent people to test each other at the edges of each other's activity areas.
As the person in charge of the barren mountain camp, Shi Lei sent additional manpower to the edge of the area as soon as he received the news. On this day, the conflict broke out again...
“The people on the other side are coming, run!”
In the mountains and forests, a armed conflict broke out between more than a dozen people from both sides.
Originally the two sides were evenly matched in numbers, and coupled with the complex mountain and forest environment, it was hard to separate them at this moment.
But the opponent obviously didn't expect that Shi Lei's support would come so quickly.
Once the support here arrives, the opponent has no advantage at all, so it is a wise move to escape immediately.
Things like this have happened frequently recently, but Shi Lei didn't think there was anything strange about it.
In this era, when two tribes discover the existence of each other within their own scope of activities, something like this is bound to happen.
For now, he has placed manpower at the sentry station on the edge of the barren mountain camp.
Once an armed conflict occurs in the outer area, reinforcements will immediately follow.
With their numerical advantage, they can basically ensure that their camp remains invincible in many recent conflicts.
In addition, before their leader left the barren mountain camp, he had also briefly told him about some tribal forces that might exist deep in the mountains.
Based on this information, there is a high probability that the tribe they are currently in conflict with is not their opponent.
Although judging from the current situation, Shi Lei thinks that he does not need reinforcements and can handle it by himself, but he still needs to make a good report.
After the messenger followed the transport team and informed them of the latest order from their leader, Shi Lei also quickly informed the other party of the situation here and asked the other party to take the news back.
After all, this news was somewhat important, so the messenger did not dare to take more rest. After sleeping one night in the barren mountain camp, he set off in a hurry.
At this moment, Zhou Xu and others are still at the Salt Lake Camp.
In the past few days, Zhou Chongshan and Li Ce were busy training the new recruits, while Zhou Xu was busy inspecting the work at the Salt Lake Camp and the situation of various departments.
As a functional camp, Salt Lake Camp has always provided important resources to the entire tribe. After opening the chicken farm and quarry, its status will undoubtedly be higher, and Zhou Xu naturally has to pay attention to it. stand up.
When the chicken farm was just established, Zhou Xuyou asked Zhao Geng to come over and take a look and give some advice on the breeding work of the chicken farm here.
Now, after some time, the chicken farm has been in a decent state.
After taking a general look around, Zhou Xu took his people to the quarry to inspect the situation.
There are stones everywhere in the Gobi. He thought about the pattern here, found a stone wall that might hinder later development, and asked the quarrying team to dig it.
At this moment, the five recruits who had just been recruited were helping in the quarry. They were waving their hoes under the scorching sun and were sweating profusely.
The weather is estimated to be thirty-five degrees, and it’s seriously summer.
At this moment, Zhou Xu, who seemed to have been blinded by something, frowned slightly...
[Eye of Insight! 】
Without hesitation, the 'Eye of Insight' opened directly, and the sharply cleared field of vision allowed Zhou Xu to focus on the stones that exuded a metallic luster in the sun at a glance...
