Chapter 81 The key point (additional update if the previous monthly ticket accumulation reaches 600)
From the current point of view, the advantage of cavalry is too great.
Moreover, the racial advantages of those centaurs probably destined them to be inherently more powerful than ordinary human cavalry units.
Once the two sides face off, they have no advantage at all.
Even optimistically, even if they really win, how much price will they have to pay in the process?
Don't forget, he now has three camps under his command.
At present, there are more than 100 tribe members distributed reasonably, and it is not difficult to operate three camps normally.
But once a batch is lost, it is very likely that one camp will have to be abandoned because there will not be enough manpower to maintain it.
Although this is an era of jungle, one cannot just think about 'fighting and killing'.
You must know how to rationally weigh the pros and cons in order to develop in a more long-term and stable manner.
After arranging things here, Zhou Xu set off early the next morning and returned to Black Moon Camp.
I didn’t forget to dig up some berry bushes along the way.
After all, this red berry has been confirmed to be a practical fruit, and it can supplement some trace elements that they cannot get from their daily diet.
Under this premise, Zhou Xu has broken open the pulp and confirmed that the core of the fruit is very small, which can be said to be smaller than a sesame seed.
Compared with planting and cultivating from the core, directly transplanting the original berry bushes is undoubtedly a more time-saving and labor-saving method for them.
There were no accidents along the way. With the full exploration of Ye Jinghong and the others, they had fully mastered the section of the road from Black Moon Camp to Grassland Camp, and there were basically no risks along the way.
Back at the camp, Zhou Xu quickly called the logging team, and at the same time sent additional manpower to the logging team so that they could start work as quickly as possible.
Immediately, he hurried to the equipment department to find Zhuang Mengdie.
Because for his plan to be implemented smoothly and efficiently, one very important point is whether the pallet truck that was previously given to Zhuang Mengdie can be successfully developed.
After all, in order to deal with the centaurs who may attack their camp, they need to deploy important defense facilities around the camp, that is, horse rejection.
But the Juma is quite big. If you want to transport it smoothly from the Black Moon Camp to the Grassland Camp, without a trolley, the whole thing will become extremely difficult.
Of course, according to Zhou Xu's temperament, it is impossible for him to do anything he is not sure about.
In fact, when he set out from the Black Moon Camp to establish the grassland camp, the most difficult part for making a cart had already been conquered by Zhuang Mengdie's skillful hands.
After this, the whole thing is actually simple.
Almost on the second day after Zhou Xu and the others set out, their tribe's first cart was officially born from the hands of Zhuang Mengdie.
However, without Zhou Xu's instructions, she did not give the cart to other tribe members without authorization.
Since the structure of the trolley itself is not complicated, Zhou Xu had already drawn it clearly when drawing the design drawing.
Although the actual objects made by Zhuang Mengdie's hands cannot be said to be exactly the same, at a glance, they look very similar.
Holding the two extended handles with his hands, Zhou Xu tried to make simple push and pull movements.
Under the exertion of force, with the sound of 'click, click, click', the brand new trolley was immediately pushed forward, making Zhou Xu couldn't help laughing.
This feeling is really wonderful, the excitement of creating things one by one, no matter how many times he comes, he will never get tired of it.
Now among the tribe, the person who can best understand his feelings is undoubtedly Zhuang Mengdie, who built this wooden cart with his own hands.
Zhuang Mengdie was undoubtedly the first to test and get the answer as to whether this wooden cart could carry out normal push-pull movements.
But now, as she looked at the wooden cart that was moving steadily under the push and pull of their leader, Zhuang Mengdie's face was still filled with excitement that could not be concealed at all.
The process of pushing and pulling the wooden cart cannot be said to be completely smooth, and overall it is still a bit wobbly.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
On the one hand, it is purely hand-polished, so there are some errors, and it is impossible to achieve 100% absolute accuracy.
The other reason is even more unavoidable.
That means the road is rough...
In this era, let alone the roads in the wild, even the roads in their camp could not be completely smooth.
Under this premise, there are no shock-absorbing measures in this era. The wooden carts are generally made of hardwood. It is impossible to avoid bumping and shaking at all.
Basically, Zhuang Mengdie was able to achieve this level of polishing in a limited period of time with pure hand polishing, and he was very satisfied.
"Well done, I'll reward you with five fishes, whatever you want!"
The successful production of the wooden cart was enough to substantially improve their tribe's transportation capacity.
Compared with the value of the wooden cart, the reward of five fishes was simply insignificant in Zhou Xu's opinion.
After giving the reward, Zhou Xu quickly changed the topic back to business.
"How's the second wooden cart going?"
Before setting off, Zhou Xu estimated that the first wooden cart would be completed soon, so he specifically told Zhuang Mengdie to start making the second one directly after confirming that the production was completed and there were no problems.
It has been seven days since he left, and Zhou Xu is still very concerned about the progress of the second wooden cart.
After all, only one unit is definitely not enough.
Considering the distance to the third camp and the current special situation, for Zhou Xu at this time, the more wooden carts the better.
At the very least, there needs to be a Wutai to completely increase the transportation capacity of their tribe, right?
But he also knew that this was somewhat of a luxury.
After hearing Zhou Xu's words, Zhuang Mengdie made a rough assessment in his mind and then said...
"In three days, the second wooden cart should be finished."
You should know that this is after Zhuang Mengdie has successfully made his first wooden cart, accumulated a certain amount of experience, and improved his production efficiency.
Of course Zhou Xu also knew that in this era, it was not easy to polish such parts, but he couldn't help but ask one more question.
"Can it go any faster?"
"I'll make a few more and once I'm fully proficient, I think the efficiency can be improved again, right?"
Zhuang Mengdie said this in a tone that was not particularly certain.
"But according to my feeling, it will take seven to eight days no matter how fast it is."
"Do you think other members of the department can learn from it? With their help, a lot of work can be done at the same time, and the efficiency should be further improved, right?"
"Well, I think you can learn it, but I'm afraid it will take a lot of time..."
"..."
