Chapter 66 Foundation Laying

Although it decided how to deal with this safe, Master Kobe did not take action immediately.

Cutting and polishing metal is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Now that the convoy has just arrived in the territory, everything is in trouble. Obviously, there are still some more important things waiting for the craftsmen to do.

For example...cut wood.

After arriving at Frost Maple Ridge in the morning, Master Donald, who was in charge of construction in the craftsman team, rushed to the Frost Maple Woods not far away to cut wood;

Since there are no conditions for burning bricks or excavating stones, for a considerable period of time in the future, the main building materials of the Igor family's new territory will be selected from wood and soil.

Master Donald, who is nearly 60 years old and has gray hair but still has a body-building tendon flesh, rushed back to the camp shortly after lunch with a batch of wood.

Their movements were so fast were largely due to Clement.

The Death Knight in heavy armor was surprised to find that his heavy rune giant sword seemed to be better at cutting trees than cutting people...

Within a few hours, he and a group of young men holding logging axes cut down dozens of frost maple trees under the command of Master Donald, creating a batch of excellent cylindrical wood;

As for how to transport the cut down wood back to Frost Maple Ridge, it is even more unproblematic:

The stream originated from Dragon Bone Peak, flowing from the valley, just through the frost maple forest, and passes through the edge of the platform where the camp is located!

Master Donald directed the strong laborers to push the wood into the stream, and with the help of hydraulic lifting, they were easily transported to the foot of the camp. Then, the Death Knight, who was twice as strong as he could not eat, pushed them to the stage one by one, one by one.

——It is worth mentioning that at lunch, Lord Lord had already given this nameless platform chosen as the core of the new territory a new name:

Phoenix Platform.

Although this small hill covered with loess and weeds is more like a "pheasant" than a "phoenix", Xiahou Yan, who has always liked Li Taibai, decided to use this exaggerated name to express respect to the poets in his previous life, and on the other hand, it also implies the vainness of "the phoenix travels on the Phoenix Platform".

To be honest, even the names of the small platforms around "Phoenix Platform" were thought about in his mind:

"Lutai", "Zhangtai", "Bongquetai", "Star Observation Platform"...

Anyway, these Chinese names will not appear particularly abrupt after being translated into imperial language;

And even if they are simply named "Central Taiwan", "Henan Taiwan", "Hebei Taiwan", and "Shanxi Taiwan"... it feels good!

Of course, it would be a bit too stupid to name a certain platform just because of the spindle shape...

This is really not possible.

Just when the Lord was obsessed with giving each river and every mountain a warm name, the craftsman team processed the cut wood under the command of Master Donald.

Unlike the specialty in ironwork... uh, Master Kobe who casts, Master Donald has always served as a stonemason and carpenter at Eagle Castle, mainly responsible for the maintenance and repair of the castle.

Although he has not really built any houses, he is still half an expert in construction, especially construction materials.

This batch of newly cut wood was not used directly by him to build a house.

The experienced Master Donald mainly has two main considerations for making this decision:

As soon as the convoy arrived at Phoenix Terrace, they had already built a tent with ease. Although living in a tent was not a long-term solution, the Igor family's demand for housing was not so urgent after all;

Secondly, according to Master Donald's experience, the wood used to build a house is not simply piled together, but needs to be processed in a series of ways!

Not to mention high-end processes such as soaking anticorrosion agents, brushing and applying fireproof layers, and even drying, pressing and trimming, these preliminary treatments cannot be completed in a short time!

If you rashly use these newly harvested wood to build a house, then due to the quality of the materials, it is probably necessary to bring down the built house again in a few months, wasting resources and labor.

Since the Igor family has planned to settle here, Master Donald certainly hopes to solve the problem of the house at one time, rather than start construction rashly on the first day of pioneering where conditions are not yet complete.

After discussing with the members of the military team, Old Donald finally chose a good place for the first batch of wood harvested by the territory.

Build a wall!

Although the height of the Phoenix Station is enough to bring a certain tactical advantage, it is obviously not enough in the eyes of Alice Comstock and Juan Clement;

A qualified territory fortification, not to mention resisting the attack of robbers, should at least have the ability to block the night invasion of wild beasts in the wilderness!

So, Master Donald led the members of the craftsman team to waving sharp circular saws, cutting the wood into strips bit by bit, and then spent an afternoon building a circle of wooden fences on the top of the slope at the edge of the Phoenix Platform to protect the camp located in the center of the platform.

Although Master Donald's wall building skills are obviously not as good as another Donald on Earth, this circle of reliable wooden fences cannot stop illegal immigrants, at least it is no problem to block several weasels foraging at night.

Seeing a circle of simple fence walls tied with ropes on the edge of the platform, the Igor territory, which was originally poor and poor, look like a bit like a turbulent copycat.

During this whole day, Xiahou Yan was sadly aware that he seemed to be the most boring idle person in the camp.

The tenants of the agricultural group were busy setting up tents, loading and unloading goods, and several senior farmers who were aware of the way followed Mayor Joel to investigate the land reclamation potential nearby;

The craftsman team and the military team were busy building walls for a day under the leadership of Master Donald, so there was no need to mention this;

The clerks in the business team were also busy in the process of counting materials;

Even Weilf, who has always been regarded as a waste by him, was hygienic in a proper manner with the help of Anjie;

Only Xiahou Yan himself was bored leaning against the wooden box.

Only then did he realize that the time travel novels he had read in his previous life were all deceptive - not all time travelers were omniscient science students, industrialists, skilled craftsmen, and Xiahou Daren, who knew nothing about architecture, craftsmanship and agriculture, could do the only thing he could do was to be a hand-off manager and leave everything to professionals to take charge of.

Why didn't he want to create a rifled gun cannon steam engine that shocked everyone?

Why doesn’t he want to promote an advanced breeding program and launch satellites in the field of agricultural in another world?

Why doesn’t he want to make some perfume and soap and make money in the ignorant old society?

Why doesn’t he want to come up with a system plan to stimulate the enthusiasm of the people and show the reaction of production relations on productivity?

Which of these is not a great opportunity to show off and slap in the face, and which one is not a traditional pleasure that attracts readers to reward and vote?

The problem is, Xiahou Yan doesn’t know much about it!

The Xiahou Grand Official, who had previously played a key role in the infection area, used the power of the King of Hell, is now watching his subordinates running back and forth in annoyance, but he can't help at all, and the psychological gap is huge.

Fortunately, there is an intellectual who doesn't know how to be the same.

As the leader of the craftsman team, Master Laurie, who had no enthusiasm for industrial construction, leaned against the wooden box with the Lord.

Unlike the Lord Lord who was burdened with a heavy psychological burden, Master Laurie looked through a booklet in his hand happily, feeling very tight.

Xiahou Yan glanced at him.

Master Laurie, who found that the Lord was also bored, enthusiastically handed out the booklet in his hand:

"Why would you like to watch it together for a while? When we went to Yanxi City before, I bought it from a roadside stall."

Xiahou Yan glanced at the cover of the booklet: What caught his eye was an elf beauty dressed in revealing clothes and enchanting posture, and the title of the book was "One Hundred Days of Living with the Elf Princess" full of ambiguous hints...

"Sincere!" Lord Lord contempt and cursed.

...

Under the setting sun of Frost Maple Ridge, two mages, one old and one young, next to the wooden box, were sneakily put together, holding a tattered booklet in their hands, and could see the gods intently.
Chapter completed!
