After Lan Nuo proposed the idea of ​​establishing a shelter, it immediately aroused the interest of everyone. In fact, it was not just him. Some people have long thought about establishing a shelter in history, but they have never succeeded.
"In fact, more than one person has thought of digging a cave like you, and then surviving the most difficult winter. But there are very few successful people, and at most there are only caves that protect dozens of people can maintain it. It is very difficult for an entire tribe to survive like this.
Either the food reserves are insufficient and the people in the shelter are killed by themselves. Or the shelter is too simple and destroyed in the wind and snow, causing everyone to die in the wind and snow.
Actually, if I don’t say that you should be able to think of the reasons why no one succeeds. First of all, it is impossible for those big tribes to build shelters. Once a tribe with more than 10,000 people carry out such shelters, they will inevitably be discovered by the surrounding gold families. Large tribes like this have a huge help to the next war of the Golden Family. If such tribes are unwilling to surrender to the Golden Family, but build their own shelter, and if they want to survive the disaster, they will definitely be attacked. They are forced to surrender to the Golden Family as their pawns and cannon fodder. Even if they have the confidence to temporarily resist the attack of a Golden Family, such unsociable forces will be attacked by groups. In the end, they have to choose one of them to surrender.
As for those small tribes with only a few thousand or even a few hundred, no one will care about it. These people will not attract the attention of the Golden Family. After all, their population is too small and their strength is too weak, so it is not worth fighting for. But it is precisely because their population is too small and their strength is too weak. Even if they are not disturbed, the probability of success in establishing a shelter is very low. There is a high probability that they cannot dig out a sufficiently solid refuge.
It is not enough food to store enough food. It is already difficult for such a weak tribe to survive on the grassland. Not to mention accumulating enough supplies before winter, it also takes manpower and material resources to dig caves. A few of the people who survived successfully picked up caves dug by their predecessors or picked up caves dug by wild beasts. After skipping the step of consuming manpower and material resources, all their energy is spent on storing materials, and there is a little chance of survival.
Like us, we are actually considered a relatively large tribe together. The Golden Family will definitely be able to appreciate the combat power we unite together. If we choose to work alone, establish a shelter, and do not participate in the royal court dispute, we will definitely be attacked by groups.
So it is not that everyone does not want to choose this path. It is that this path is much more difficult to survive than participating in the Battle of the Royal Court. Unless a five-turn strongman personally leads a force, claiming not to join either party, and showing his determination, he can always maintain neutrality.
But his strength has reached five changes. As long as he participates in the battle between the royal court, no matter whether he wins or fails, as long as he can survive, he will surely succeed in the future. Even if he is on the loser's side, as long as he is not killed in the battle, he will still be able to climb to the top soon after joining the winner's side. With such a high probability of survival and a glory and wealth that can be obtained at your fingertips. In fact, few people will sacrifice their lives just to lead a group of tribe members to live a life of silence.
I also saw that your tribe could show the top battle formations in the five transformations. Then I felt that there was a glimmer of hope. If there was such a battle formation to protect us, perhaps we would really have the hope to build a huge underground shelter to protect everyone through the cold winter."
After being forced to join, the head of the Ge family also said a lot. Some of these insights were something that Lan Nuo had already thought of, while others were not aware of it. It did give him a lot of help.
After reaching an agreement to join forces, the two tribes did not dig underground caves and open up refuges as soon as possible. After discussion, they also determined that if they dig the refuges through conventional means, they would definitely be targeted and besieged by major gold families at that time. If they do not have strong enough strength, they will not be able to remain neutral.
Instead of praying that you will not be noticed by the Golden Family and can secretly dig out refuges in hidden places, it is better to take advantage of this time to unite more people to enhance your tribe's strength. When building a refuge, you will forcibly resist the siege of major Golden Family, and then show the hardness of knocking off their mouths and establish yourself to maintain a neutral position.
With another tribe joining, the efficiency of fighting in the north and the north is faster. They did not target other tribes, but were still targeting beast groups. Everyone can see that the elemental advantages of ordinary people are almost impossible to resist the invasion of the Golden Family. The real trump card still depends on the powerful strength of the beast groups. Only the powerful battle formation built by these war horses flying in the sky can resist. The attacks of many four-turn and five-turn powerful people in the Golden Family.
Other family members who meet along the way will convince them if they can convince them. If they cannot be convinced, they will let them leave. It is not ruled out that someone will report to the Golden Family. Some people want to remain neutral. But if some things are blindly small and want to keep them from being discovered, it is unrealistic. It is better to spread the information. In this way, while the Golden Family knows, other scattered families will also know. At that time, people will naturally come over.
The expansion speed of the neutral forces they established will also increase.
The situation was similar to what they imagined. After the news spread, some small families came to join. After seeing the process of hunting wild beasts, most of them also decided to join.
As the number of beasts hunted increased, many war horses of the level of the Ten Thousand Beast Kings began to be born among the war horses. The total number of war horses has reached 300,000. Among them, the number of flying war horses dedicated to combat has also reached 100,000. Under such a huge order of magnitude, the power of the battle formations formed is increased by geometric multiples. The previous world's submersion range was a few miles. Now that the number has increased significantly, the coverage range has become dozens of miles, which is truly equivalent to summoning a forest to the earth.
Such a terrifying battle formation that is enough to change the mountains and rivers has vaguely surpassed the five-transform level strength range. Not to mention that after summoning the forest, these forests can still survive. With the auxiliary control of many tribal warriors, huge wooden war beasts have been condensed.
These scenes also made many small families who defected to the scene have the confidence to fight against the Golden Family. Since there is such a battle formation, the five-turn strong men of the Golden Family should not dare to attack.
When the number of tribe members reached 100,000 and war beasts of various attributes reached nearly one million, Lan Nuo finally began to command everyone to select a Feng Shui treasure land to excavate the shelter, and began to hoard a large amount of food and prepare to survive the cold winter.
The wild beasts with huge body with shackles and chains were driven to one side of a mountain. They were preparing to dig underground space below the mountain. In this way, the underground shelter is not only located underground and protected by the earth, but also a layer of mountain on it as protection, so the protection should be stronger.
These beasts are good at controlling the earth. After being forcibly captured by the beasts, they were scared to death. At this moment, they were wearing shackles and obediently obeying human commands. As a brown and long-haired yak inserted his feet on the ground, the ground began to tremble violently, and the soil squeezed towards the surroundings, forming a wide passage underground. The earth was as if it had been edited by a terrain editor, showing strange depressions. While the huge passage was formed, a large number of tribal members began to hold the rough fibers of linen, or the rough fibers extracted from grass leaves were laid on the surrounding walls. Someone later brought them again.
Buckets of viscous liquid are laid on these crude fibers, layer by layer of viscous liquid, as the viscous liquid is stacked layer by layer, solidifying like epoxy resin, wrapping layers of fibers inside, forming a solid composite structure that supports the soil and rocks not to collapse. This is the lowest cost and the highest efficiency construction method. When the lower layer is under greater pressure, it will rely on huge wooden people to transport the made precast concrete blocks to splice together a more solid support structure like a puzzle. This huge underground shelter construction project is larger in scale than any time in history.
Although it only exists in the material world and is not a fairy orifice, it is expected that after the construction is completed, the volume of the underground space will not be smaller than that of the fairy orifice. They expect to empty out all the underground spaces of the city.
At present, there is still some shortage of manpower, but with the continuous war supplement, relying on the large number of summoned wooden mechas, it is still hoped that they will be completed before winter comes.
More people are responsible for collecting food. The world that is maintained by the battle formation is coming. Although it will wither quickly after the war is over. However, if the plants in the forest bear fruit in this process, these fruits can still be preserved intact after being collected.
This time, Lannuo tended to summon more pine trees. Under ultra-high efficiency photosynthesis, these pine trees grew pine towers continuously, and then collected them one by one by one, took out the pine cones, put them in bags, and stored in dry places. Fruits with low moisture content, such as those with low moisture content can be stored for a considerable period of time after being dried. They are more suitable as a kind of grain for winter storage.
Some simple industrial production lines were also established in this process. Many ores such as coal mines and iron ore were transported by huge beasts. They were processed in rough mine factories emitting black smoke and were smelted into various industrial devices.
A large number of simple industrial products have been mass-produced in this process, including iron sheets and glass jars. The cans stored in the jars after heating are also produced in large quantities. These foods that can be stored for a long time will become an important source of nutrition in the shelter to survive the cold winter in the future, so as to ensure the nutritional balance of tribal members in the shelter during the shelter.
As time goes by, underground shelters have begun to take shape. A large number of workers gather here to knock and beat. Not only are they building shelters, but also fortifications.
Since we have already predicted it will inevitably conflict with the Golden Family in the future. Then what the factory produces is no longer just canned food for daily life.
A heavy cannon was produced, and the huge cannon was obviously not for use. The thick muzzle was two meters in diameter, more than ten meters in length, and dozens of meters in length. The structural strength of ordinary steel was difficult to support such a huge volume. Therefore, when making these giant cannons, some materials on the bodies of giant beasts often had to be added, such as the bones or fur on the bodies of giant beasts, forming a stronger composite material. Such a huge gun barrel could be processed. They were carried on the back by huge wooden men. The structure itself was relatively simple. In the case of huge volume, they could only use the structure of a bolt-action rifle to ensure that these huge weapons had sufficient reliability.
Although this limits the speed of shooting, the huge volume itself also brings huge power. You can imagine what kind of terrifying destructive power it will be if a huge bullet with a diameter of 2m, a length of more than eight meters, filled with explosives, flew out of the gun chamber at supersonic speed. If it hits a mountain, it will be flattened by such a terrifying weapon. Most five-turn strong people will not dare to use their bodies or defensive killing moves head-on when facing this kind of attack.
In addition to the super-large musket used as weapons, the huge wooden man was also covered with layers of steel armor, and vines wrapped around these armors. After they tightly wrapped the entire wooden man, they no longer looked like wooden man, but more like iron man or mecha made entirely of mechanical structure.
A large number of war weapons have begun to be built, and everyone is preparing for the war they are about to face. If you want to survive peacefully, you must face the war.
What came before the war was not the intimidation of the army. Instead, a huge force established by Lan Nuo, an envoy from the Golden Family, is not regarded as an enemy of the Golden Family, but as a wild neutral NPC, just like those strong men who lived in seclusion and escaped from the world during the Battle of the Gods. Or in the game and novel, those laity hidden in the forest will naturally not launch an attack directly in the beginning, and normal people will think about whether they can recruit them with peaceful means.
