Chapter 85 Change of plan

According to the initial plan, the grassland camp was a springboard for them, and its main value was to facilitate their access to the resources on the grassland.

Therefore, Zhou Xu did not pay special attention to the early development of the grassland camp.

After the most basic infrastructure is completed, the manpower and material resources here will be invested in the collection of various grassland resources.

However, the collection of grassland resources required large-scale exploration. However, the appearance of the centaurs and the potential threats they posed made Zhou Xu unable to follow the original plan.

There is no choice but to change the plan, suspend external exploration, and instead prioritize internal development, strengthen the construction of the camp, and deploy resistance horses around the camp as a defense facility to create a military stronghold on the front line.

The purpose is that when the time comes, even if they really confront those centaurs, they can hold on to the camp and prevent them from being easily defeated.

They even used tenacious holding tactics to persuade the opponent to retreat.

Although when he left the grassland camp before, he told Ye Jinghong that if he really faced off, he would leave the camp alone and run away, but the camp was finally built, and if he could hold it, it would definitely be better to hold it.

Abandoning this camp would be a huge loss for them.

The next period of time will be a gamble for Zhou Xu and the others.

Bet on whether their grassland camp can develop stably until all defense facilities are completed.

This overall efficiency is honestly not fast.

After all, their current transportation capacity is limited. Before the subsequent wooden trucks are manufactured, the limited two wooden trucks are simply not enough for them.

Take the current situation as an example, under the premise that the two wooden carts are all used to help the grassland camp transport the wood used for making horses, the logging team at the Black Moon Camp has no wooden carts to use. In this way, logging

The team's work efficiency will drop significantly.

Therefore, in order to keep up with the wood, they also gave the logging team a wooden truck after the first trip to improve their work efficiency, otherwise there would not be enough wood in the camp.

In addition, the wood cut by the logging team is not delivered directly. The wood used to make the horse-repelling wood needs a considerable degree of polishing, and one end must be sharpened to increase the deterrence of the horse-repelling horse.

and lethality.

And for this job, we have to rely on the equipment department to put in more effort.

The newly added polishing work and the obvious increase in the loss of stone axes have put great pressure on the equipment department recently.

During this period, Zhuang Mengdie and the others, who were making the third wooden cart, were so busy, of course, not to mention.

It seems like a simple thing, but in fact it has made the Black Moon Camp extremely busy.

This situation was slightly alleviated after the third wooden cart was successfully produced.

At least one wooden pallet truck can be reserved for the exclusive use of the logging team. As long as the wooden pallet truck improves transportation efficiency, the work efficiency of the logging team can be guaranteed.

Of course, even so, Zhuang Mengdie's project of making wooden carts has not stopped.

During this period, for their tribe, the more wooden carts the better, not only in the prairie camp but also in the salt lake camp.

At present, these three wooden carts can only be used to make ends meet.

According to Zhou Xu's idea, if the transportation capacity of the grassland camp is sufficient, at least five wooden carts are needed.

This is not just because the wood now needs to be made, and the wood is bulky and difficult to transport.

In fact, wood is used in many places in camp development, and it is considered one of the basic building materials for camp development.

Even if we no longer do horse-rejection in the future, in order to allow the grassland camp to obtain sufficient development resources, the transportation capacity of five wooden trucks is still needed.

Under this premise, and considering the Salt Lake Tribe and some departments that also need wooden trucks to improve work efficiency, building ten wooden trucks can only be regarded as a guarantee.

Every time a batch of wood is delivered, a horse is tied up and brought out. With the combined efforts of many people, it can be done in about an hour.

However, it would take the transport team a day and a half to deliver this material alone.

This does not take into account the situation at the Black Moon Camp where the logging team or the equipment department cannot keep up with the work efficiency and the materials cannot be sent out immediately.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhou Xu and the others are at ease in the grassland camp.

Apart from the daily fishing work, Zhou Xu also quickly made a batch of lasso traps and set them near the nearby rabbit nest to catch hares and further increase their food supply.

At the same time, pick the right time to dig up the nearby berry bushes so that the transportation team can take them back along the way to increase the scale of red berry planting at the Black Moon Camp.

During this process, it was of course impossible for Zhou Xu to stay motionless at the grassland camp the entire time.

In fact, after the external exploration plan was hindered by the appearance of the centaurs, although there were some things that he needed to do personally at the grassland camp, staying here for a long time was a bit of a waste of time.

So during this period, Zhou Xu often stayed here for seven days and there for seven days.

It just so happened that he could handle matters in both camps relatively promptly, without any delay on either side.

And in the past seven days, he happened to be here at the Black Moon Camp...

"call--"

After exhaling a long breath, Zhuang Mengdie, who had temporarily finished the work at hand, shook his hands that were already a little sore.

Although the construction of this wooden cart is very urgent, she is not made of iron after all, and polishing the parts is also very labor-intensive. In order to avoid overwork injuries, she will take a break every once in a while to relax her hands.

During this period of time, Zhuang Mengdie usually chooses to confirm the learning results of the two apprentices, and then gives appropriate guidance.

But today, she didn't do that. Her entire attention fell directly on Zhou Xu who was immersed in work.

In the past two days, their leader has basically stayed in their equipment department during the day. The main reason is that their leader has also been polishing something recently, and their equipment department has a complete range of polishing tools, so it is better to stay here.

convenient.

"Chief, what is this?"

It was a large round stone plate, with some symbols that she couldn't understand engraved around the outside of the stone plate, and a straight, polished bone needle inserted in the center.

In the past few days, their leader has been polishing this thing, and now it seems that it has been polished, which allowed Zhuang Mengdie to finally ask his doubts.

"You're talking about this? It's called a coronagraph!"
