There are three construction plans for the city wall.
The first one is to build a stone city wall around the current ice wall to surround the ice walls on all sides. When spring comes and the ice wall melts automatically, the stone city wall will become an inner city wall, similar to a palace.
This place can be regarded as the core area of the tribe.
In the future, if the tribe develops and grows, it can continue to build the city wall with the inner city wall as the center and along the two wings. Building in this way will be very helpful in resisting the beast tide, but it will be more troublesome if it is a mad group and they want to retreat.
The second plan is to take the current ice wall as the center, extend it for three kilometers in four directions, and then start to build a stone city wall. In this way, the area of the entire tribe can be expanded many times. After it is completed, it can be easily
It accommodates tens of thousands of people.
However, the project volume of this plan is much larger. According to the labor force that the tribe can mobilize now, if you want to build such a city wall, the width is calculated as five meters. On average, each meter of height will consume about three months of labor.
time.
If the city wall is not seven meters high, many more powerful monsters can jump up directly, so the height must be more than seven meters.
Thirty months is equivalent to one and a half years on Snow Star. This is just a budget. The actual construction period is much longer than this, because after the beginning of spring, the tribe will collect supplies and hunt monsters.
Building a city wall can only be done when there are sufficient reserves of weapons and food in winter, like now.
If Ye Qiong and his tribe were like what they were ten years ago, they would still have to go out hunting in winter, and there would be no time to build anything...
The third option is to combine city walls and housing.
To put it simply, all the houses of the tribe are linked together to form a circle, with their backs facing outward and their doors facing inward.
In this case, the tribesmen would not have to sleep under the snow.
The three plans all have their own advantages and disadvantages. After Ye Qiong explained the plan to Ye Tianlong and the elders, everyone began to discuss it in the central square.
After all, it is a major event that will determine the future development of the tribe, so everyone is very serious and carefully analyzes the pros and cons.
More than a dozen people discussed until late at night before deciding to adopt the second plan, the most challenging one.
But once completed, it will provide the tribe with a lot of room for development.
After deciding on the plan, with the clay soil and the chopped stones, the tribe began to build the city wall in an orderly manner.
At the same time, Ye Qiong also protected the hot springs in the tribe. A circle of walls was built directly around the hot springs covering an area of about 20 square meters. This is considered the most important location of the tribe and will become the entire hot spring in the future.
The tribal water source saves the lives of the tribesmen when the dry season comes.
Along the way down from the hot springs, Ye Qiong arranged for five warriors. Unless they were attacked by beasts or madmen, they had only one task every day, which was to dig the ground to store water.
Although the long-tailed bear is the most suitable for digging in the ground, in winter, if the tribe can do without the long-tailed bear, it will not use the long-tailed bear. They have been busy all summer, and they need to rest in winter.
It can enter a semi-dormant state and only need to eat once every ten days.
After the five warriors accepted the mission, apart from eating and sleeping, they spent all the rest of their time digging holes. Although it sounds like there are only five people, but with the strong genes of the warriors on Snow Star and working ten hours a day,
As the days passed, a month later, the pit had reached a length of 30 meters, a width of 30 meters, and a depth of five meters!
It can store nearly 5,000 tons of water. The drinking water that normal humans in Snow Star need is about one liter per day, which is one ton in three months. In other words, it is one thousand tons of water, which can normally support the tribesmen in the tribe for one month.
Water consumption.
Except for the water reservoir, the construction of the stone city wall has not started this month. The whole month has been used to lay the foundation. Slow work is done carefully. There is no rush in building the city wall, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the summer snow.
Crazy rainstorm on the stars.
The magnitude of the rainstorm cannot be understood by those who have not experienced it.
Within the tribe, the frontline soldiers have also joined the construction army. Counting the men on the second line who have been injured or are too old to go to the battlefield, but still retain their labor force, the entire tribe is now able to pick up tools to work. A total of
There are two hundred and twenty-nine people.
Collecting clay soil and carrying stones are relatively labor-intensive tasks. These two tasks consume half of the manpower, and the remaining manpower is devoted to excavation and suppression of the base.
It is worth mentioning that now there is a beautiful scenery in the tribe, that is, Tang Li has personally formed a women's army!
There should be no other woman like Tang Li who can compete with Ronling within a hundred miles. There are also some adult women in the women's army who are taller, and after middle age, there will be some
Fat.
Tang Li selected 20 middle-aged women from the tribe, all between thirty and thirty-five years old. Women in this age group have already given birth to one or two children. If they don't pay attention to their diet, they will eat
Too much meat will make the body fat and strong.
These twenty women put on the animal armor worn by warriors in the tribe, got weapons, and were undergoing training from Tang Li.
In addition to training, Ye Qiong gave Tang Li a new task, which was to dig a hole on a slope about five hundred meters away from the tribe in the downwind direction!
Ye Qiong deliberately wants to build a secret passage that will be connected to the center of the tribe. This secret passage is more important, so Ye Qiong has not yet planned to let everyone in the tribe know. Only the upper echelons of the tribe can know, and Tang Li and the others have such figures
It is just right for a strong woman to do this.
There is no need to worry about the secret passage. The things that Ye Qiong is more anxious about right now are energy and madman!
In this month, the madmen did not launch an attack, but Ye Qiong always felt that the wave of madmen who attacked them in front did not go far. If they attacked the surrounding tribes, they would definitely be a disaster for Ye Qiong and his tribe.
Small hidden danger.
Without giant crossbows for defense, other small tribes would most likely be crushed when they encountered that mad crowd.
Currently, a total of six tribes have been discovered around Ye Qiong's tribe, all of which were marked by Ye Qiong on the map. Liang Yi's Yutang tribe is the farthest.
The nearest tribe is less than fifty kilometers away from the Ye Qiong tribe.
Based on the movement speed of the crazy crowd, we can get there in less than a day.
Of the remaining four tribes, the largest has a population of about 1,500, which is larger than the Ye Qiong tribe, and the smallest has a population of just over 500.
