Chapter 30 Formation of the Militia
As a result, after Dr. Zhang followed Su Li around, he said that there was a river with such a large flow of water next to the stronghold, and it would be a waste not to use this water power.
All you need to do is build a large waterwheel by the river, which can then be used as a power source for the water mill, used for shelling grains, and even a water-powered forging hammer can be made to help create weapons and armor.
It happened that among the villagers who had just migrated, some people said that there was an open-pit iron mine near their village, and the ore could be easily mined, and then easily transported to the stronghold along the water flow.
carry out processing.
In addition, Dr. Zhang thinks they should build a few more airships, even those with large hot-air balloons. After all, the steel-toothed rat king will launch an attack at any time, making it too efficient for those pioneer warriors to patrol the ground.
It's lower, but using an airship to patrol in the air is different. Even those steel-toothed rats hiding in the grass can be easily discovered from the air.
In addition, as the scale of the battle expands, it will become more and more difficult to command and dispatch the troops. At this time, if you can ride an airship and get a God's perspective, then you can command your troops as easily as in Total War games.
Well!
Gongsun Lie listened to his good friend's talk and said sourly: "You said it's easy, is that big waterwheel so easy to build? And the iron ore, you have to build a blast furnace or something before you can smelt it.
Let's turn it into iron ingots for processing! Can you build this blast furnace?"
"Can't these things be made as long as you have hands? It seems like you didn't study well when you were in school. You even gave back these basic knowledge to the teacher!" Facing the doubts of his friends, Dr. Zhang looked confident.
replied.
Su Li looked at the serious look on this kid's face and felt that he might be really capable, so he quickly reported the matter to Guo Dafu.
Guo Dafu was also very surprised when he heard about this, and immediately said that he could allocate some manpower to Dr. Zhang and let him build the big waterwheel, the iron blast furnace and the airship. Anyway, he now has enough manpower, even if it is
It won't have any impact if you divide some of them, but if the other party can really create these things, it will greatly improve the strength of his territory.
Speaking of which, now that there are more manpower, the construction speed of those earthen walls has been accelerated a lot. Guo Dafu estimates that it will only take a few days to complete, which makes him deeply understand the principle that there is strength in numbers.
Although the area enclosed by this circle of earthen walls is obviously too small and not suitable for the life of such a large population, Guo Dafu is not ready to continue to mess with it. Instead, he plans to use it as the wall of the inner city and slowly expand it outside.
Let's go! After the outer city is built, the inner city will become the exclusive residential area for Guo Dafu's cronies. If they are not cronies, even those players will not be able to live here. Some of the more important building facilities will also be placed there.
In this inner city, there are things like the iron-making blast furnace.
After allocating manpower to Dr. Zhang, Guo Dafu saw that it was getting late and went offline to take a rest.
As a result, as soon as he went offline, he found that he received a text message on his mobile phone. He clicked on it and found that the medicinal materials he purchased online had arrived.
After giving this store a five-star rating for its fast delivery, Guo Dafu opened the door and found a large, tightly packed box at the door.
After struggling to move the big box home, Guo Dafu couldn't wait to open the box and inspect the medicinal materials in the box.
To be honest, most of the various medicinal materials in modern society have been cultivated artificially. The medicinal properties of artificially grown medicinal materials are definitely not as good as wild ones, but they are cheaper and larger in quantity. No, Guo Dafu only spent a few
Qian bought such a large box, which was enough for him to refine several furnaces of elixirs.
What Guo Dafu wants to refine in the real world is a basic elixir called Yangyuan Dan. This elixir has relatively mild medicinal properties and is most suitable for replenishing vitality for people like him who are relatively weak.
Recalling the contents of the elixir recipe in his mind, Guo Dafu began to take out each medicinal material, and then weighed it carefully. It took a while to prepare the medicinal materials for refining a batch of elixir.
Then he put these medicinal materials into a large pressure cooker that had been prepared long ago and began to refine the elixir.
In order to observe the fire at any time, Guo Dafu simply didn't sleep, but stayed nearby to meditate and practice. Unfortunately, his body was too weak now. It took him more than an hour of practice to get a vague sense of Qi, and then it took another one
After many hours, he cultivated the first ray of internal strength in his body, which was in sharp contrast to his brave progress in the game world.
And not long after Guo Dafu cultivated the first ray of internal energy in the real world, the Yuanyuan Pill was also refined.
Guo Dafu opened the lid of the pot and took a look, and found that it was his first time refining elixirs and he had no experience. From such a large pot of medicinal materials, he only refined eight Yuan Yuan Dan, and most of the medicinal materials were wasted.
Moreover, the quality of these eight Yuan Yang Pills is not very good, and they look like the most rubbish low-grade pills.
The quality of the elixir is related to its potency and the amount of erysipelas. The better the quality of the elixir, the stronger the potency and the less erysipelas. The worse the quality of the elixir, the weaker the potency and the more erysipelas contained in it. Therefore, normal people
Generally, people like to take those elixirs with better quality, while only those poorer warriors will buy and take those elixirs with poorer quality.
Fortunately, Guo Dafu practiced "Wanxiang Jue" and was not afraid of too many erysipelas. After confirming that although the quality of the elixir was a little off, there was nothing wrong with it overall, he threw one of them into his mouth.
Different from the Jingxue Pill, the medicinal power of this Yangyuan Pill is indeed mild. After the medicinal power is dissolved, a gentle energy is immediately formed in Guo Dafu's body, allowing Guo Dafu's body to absorb it relatively easily.
Facing this energy, Guo Dafu's weak body was like dry land meeting a clear spring, greedily absorbing it and restoring its own vitality.
After the power of the entire pill was digested, Guo Dafu felt that his body had become much stronger, but a layer of black dirt with a peculiar smell also appeared on his body surface. This was the result of his body's
Some impurities discharged during the process of strengthening the potency of the pill and the erysipelas residue of the pill itself.
Guo Dafu, who couldn't stand the odor on his body, hurriedly went to the bathroom to rinse it, then cleaned up the spent medicinal materials in the pressure cooker, and put the remaining seven elixirs in a small glass bottle for storage.
After finishing all this, Guo Dafu saw that it was almost one o'clock in the morning, so he hurriedly went to bed.
Because he was worried about the villagers who had just moved here, Guo Dafu only got up and went online after less than five hours of sleep.
When Guo Dafu came online, the night had not completely faded on the Xuangu Continent. Except for the pioneer warriors who were on guard duty, everyone else was still asleep.
In order to keep warm, the young villagers who could only make bunks outside lit dozens of huge fires, and then their bunks were spread around the fires.
With the help of the flames, these villagers were not frozen by the air-conditioning at night, and all of them slept soundly.
Guo Dafu was not the first to go online. When he arrived at the newly established R&D department, he found that Dr. Zhang, a player, was already online and was sewing some animal skins with a few peasant women.
It seems that the other party is planning to use these animal skins to make the airbag of the airship. The other party chose the skin of the steel-toothed rat. Although this kind of ferocious beast is weak, the skin is very tough, and due to its size, it is very tough.
Other animal skins are also relatively thin, so Dr. Zhang selected them from many animal skins as raw materials for making airbags.
It’s just that Guo Dafu is very worried. Will a pile of animal skins sewn together like this really not leak?
As if he could see Guo Dafu's worries, Dr. Zhang swore that he had a unique processing technology that would definitely make these processed animal skins airtight at all.
Hearing what the other party said, Guo Dafu could only let the other party fiddle with it for a while. Maybe the other party was really capable of making an airship with these simple tools and materials!
As time went by, Su Li, Zhao Jie, Gongsun Lie and others came online one after another. After Zhao Jie came online, he took the time to instruct his civilian workers to make armors, while Su Li said that he would take his younger brother to tame them first.
A mount.
Today, Guo Dafu is planning to go to the villagers to select some young men and undergo some simple military training. Then, like the pioneers and civilians, they will be equipped with winches and heavy crossbows and become crossbowmen.
But before that, he took out several sharp claws of the black-scaled earth dragon beast and gave them to Zhao Jie, asking him to help him build some new weapons.
As his strength continues to improve, several of his original weapons are a bit incompetent, and their lethality is also a bit behind. For example, the spear head is only made of ordinary military steel, and it looks like black scales when it touches it.
A ferocious beast like Earthdramon with relatively strong defense might not even be able to break through its defenses.
After telling Zhao Jie about his requirements for weapons, Guo Dafu found Liu Lin and asked her to assist him in selecting qualified young men from among the villagers to form a militia force in the territory.
Speaking of which, before these villagers came, there were no real people in Guo Dafu's territory at all. Although those pioneers and civilians had the word "people" in their names, they were actually militiamen who worked for the people in their spare time.
