At this stage, as Zhou Xu's tribal base camp, the total population living in Black Moon Camp for a long time is eighty-seven.

This number does not include Zhou Xu himself.

In other words, the construction team will have to build at least 87 dormitories, covering a total area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters.

This workload is undoubtedly a bit huge for a construction team with only seven people and relying solely on human labor.

And I’m afraid there’s no way to get this thing done in a short period of time.

In this way, it is imperative to add manpower to the construction team.

After all, considering the construction of the camp, the workload on the construction team will only become larger and larger, and its importance will also increase with each passing day.

Spreading out the piece of animal skin paper that he used to record the personnel allocation, Zhou Xu glanced at it a few times and finally laid his eyes on the logging team.

The logging team and the construction team actually belong to the same construction engineering department. When allocating coolies before, considering the workload, most of the manpower at that time was assigned to the logging team by Zhou Xu.

After all, at that time, the construction team only needed to dig a canal that was not urgently needed, while the logging team's job was to provide wood for the entire tribe.

Even today, Zhou Xu plans to separate a quarrying team from the logging team to be responsible for collecting stones.

In the past, the materials used by their tribes for construction or polishing stone tools generally came from two sources...

One is the mine in the Salt Lake Camp. While mining, a lot of stones will be produced, and these stones will also be transported regularly for tribal construction.

The other one is the daily collection of the collection team.

The collection team is one of the earliest formations of their tribe. In the early days, it was mainly responsible for collecting various resources.

Like picking up branches, stones, catching bugs, looking for new things nearby, basically everything.

Later, with the development of the tribe, under Zhou Xu's planning, specialized department teams were responsible for many corresponding collection tasks. However, the early collection teams gradually became more focused on chores.

The reason why they were not disbanded directly was because their tribe really needed a team that could do odd jobs and go wherever they needed help.

But now, the work of the collection team has been further reduced.

In addition, the construction engineering department is now establishing a new team, and manpower has begun to become scarce.

Zhou Xu naturally disbanded the collection team and formally merged it into the Construction Engineering Department, and then made new arrangements and redeployments to the personnel of the Construction Engineering Department.

First, fourteen new team members were added to the construction team. It happened that one old team member was responsible for leading two new team members.

Although the new team members have not accumulated any construction experience, they are still capable of hard work.

This also allows veteran team members to devote their time and energy to other tasks.

After simply arranging the work of the construction team, the two collection teams, the logging team and the quarrying team, were divided into 50-50 personnel.

Although at this stage, the demand for wood is higher, compared with quarrying work, the work efficiency of logging is obviously higher than that of quarrying.

Therefore, even with 50-50 manpower, the amount of wood they obtain every day is much more than stone.

After reassigning manpower to the construction engineering department, Zhou Xu's work is obviously not finished yet.

The construction team and the logging team both have fixed working locations, so he doesn't need to worry about this, but the newly established quarrying team does not.

Some people may think, aren’t stones everywhere in the wild?

It is true that you can pick up a piece of stone from time to time in the wild, but for the construction of the camp, this few stones are simply not enough.

In order to obtain a stable and sufficient amount of stone, they need to open a quarry!

It is not difficult to choose this location, it is the Gobi outside the Salt Lake Camp.

The quarrying team can carry out quarrying work in the quarry during the day and return to the salt lake camp to rest after dark.

Under this premise, there is also incidental stone output in the Black Forest Mine.

The stones on both sides can be transported in one batch, which is a lot more convenient.

After receiving the order, the newly established quarrying team immediately set off for the Salt Lake Camp to prepare for quarrying work.

At this stage, the construction team is still digging the foundation, so there is no need for stone for the time being, but once the foundation is fully dug, the demand for gravel will suddenly increase.

Therefore, the work of the quarrying team will undoubtedly have to be accelerated.

After this, you have to consider a transportation issue.

Although there are wooden carts now, the stones are heavy after all, and they cannot handle them carefully, so these stones are not regular and cannot be placed evenly on the wooden carts, which increases the number of stones in disguise.

Difficulty of transportation.

Faced with these problems, Zhou Xu naturally thought of the animals pulling the cart again.

As long as there are animals that can pull the cart, this problem can basically be solved.

But the problem of livestock obviously involves the problem on the grassland. The 'dungeon' there is really too difficult for him now.

With his thoughts racing, Zhou Xu went to the equipment department to confirm the progress of the bamboo bow.

Simply making a bamboo bow is definitely not difficult for Zhuang Mengdie, because Zhou Xu has basically drawn a relatively complete and clear design.

The key point is that Zhou Xu wants to make this bamboo bow shoot farther, be more powerful, and have higher accuracy! This requires improvements on the original basis, and this is where Zhuang Mengdie will be tested.

When Zhou Xu came to the equipment department, he saw Zhuang Mengdie fiddling with a bamboo bow in his hand.

"Is this the latest finished product?"

"Yes, Chief."

After seeing Zhou Xu coming, Zhuang Mengdie hurriedly stood up and handed over the bamboo bow in his hand.

After taking the bamboo bow, Zhou Xu's eyes immediately fell on the main body of the bamboo bow, and then he was completely confused...

"This is……"

"This is inspired by the combined structure that the leader taught us before. I found that a single bamboo piece, although very flexible, has limited strength, which also results in the power and range of the arrow being shot being limited.

And the stability is not good..."

Zhuang Mengdie didn't talk much on weekdays, but when she talked about this bamboo bow, she turned into a talkative person every minute, and when she talked, she could talk endlessly.

"So I thought about whether I could increase the strength and stability of the bamboo bow by stacking bamboo pieces, and also make the bamboo bow more durable."

"But there is a problem, that is, the bamboo pieces must be fixed..."

At this time, Zhou Xu had undoubtedly considered the issue Zhuang Mengdie mentioned, so he came here to discuss the matter of making 'glue' with Zhuang Mengdie.

The glue of this era is the colloid in various animals, which is what everyone calls collagen. To put it more simply, it is the sticky part that everyone eats in their mouths.

But Zhou Xu never expected that before he could talk about the glue, Zhuang Mengdie would use his skillful hands to make a big flower for him.

At this moment, she saw that the bamboo bow he was holding in his hand, and the bamboo pieces pressed together on the main body, were actually put together by her with an extremely delicate and complex mortise and tenon structure.

Where are you making bamboo bows?

In Zhou Xu's opinion, this is just showing off his skills!!
