Chapter 116 Return to camp

In fact, if there is a rest stop similar to a transfer station in the Gobi area from the barren mountain camp to the salt lake camp, it will be much more comfortable for the team tasked with transportation.

At the same time, sometimes, if large-scale support is needed between two camps, having a rest stop in the middle can be of great help.

But the problem remains, there are not enough manpower and labor.

After arranging a hundred people to be stationed at the Barren Mountain Camp, there were actually not many manpower left to assign to other camps.

Under this situation, if we want to build a rest stop in the middle of the Gobi Desert, we will have to allocate more manpower.

In addition, there is nothing here in the Gobi. In other words, survival materials have to be sent from the Black Moon Camp, which further increases the labor cost.

Thinking about these things, Zhou Xu made a calculation in his mind. At this stage, he definitely didn't have the spare time to do this. He had to deal with the rest stop later.

After a long journey, the group rested for one night at the Salt Lake Camp. They set off immediately the next morning and successfully arrived at the Black Moon Camp before noon.

Counting the time, I haven’t been back for a long time. Unfortunately, the weather today is not very beautiful. It rained heavily in the early morning. Although the rain had stopped long ago, the sky did not clear up. At the same time, the ground of the entire camp was

It also became muddy because of the rain.

Zhou Xu has long been used to this situation.

Let alone the primitive era, even if it develops for a few more rounds, the ground will basically be like this.

Considering the current situation, let alone a clean and tidy masonry floor, even a gravel road paved with gravel, he did not have the time to bother with this for the time being.

There are many things with higher priority than this piece of land.

However, the impact of this rain, coupled with the fact that it was summer, and the fact that he discovered bamboo, a new material, allowed Zhou Xu to quickly start implementing an idea he had already had.

He brought so much bamboo back from the barren mountain camp not only to make bamboo bows, but also to build bamboo houses!

After all, we can't live in this tent forever.

Don't talk about anything else, just say that this summer is good, lying in this animal skin tent, people will not faint from the heat?

If there were a lot of heat strokes in the camp, it would obviously not be a good thing for him.

Many people know that the mud houses in rural areas are warm in winter and cool in summer. Why is this?

To put it bluntly, it means it has good thermal insulation capabilities. When the weather is hot in summer, the temperature inside the house rises slowly. It is already 30 or 40 degrees outside, but it is still 26 or 7 degrees inside. Comparing the before and after, can it not be cooler?

On the other hand, when the weather is cold in winter, the temperature inside the house drops slowly, which naturally makes the house seem warmer?

According to Zhou Xu's original plan, he planned to build the house with wood first, and then paste mud on the wooden walls. This was actually a bit similar to how he built a kiln.

Once the mud is applied and dried, the house will no longer have air leakage from all sides.

As for the roof, it is paved with thatch, which is cheap and easy to find and easy to lay.

Now that the ideas are clear, the next step is to draw a rough design drawing. Once the entire structure is basically understood, construction can begin.

Of course, before that, he still had one thing to do, which was to find Zhuang Mengdie and finalize the design of the bamboo bow.

"leader."

As soon as he arrived at the equipment department, Zhuang Mengdie, who was busy polishing the axle, saw him and immediately bowed.

Needless to say, when their leader came to the equipment department, it was 100% because he had a new task to arrange.

But at this moment, Zhuang Mengdie didn't resist at all.

Since the design of the wooden cart was drawn by their leader, the focus of her work has been on the development and production of the wooden cart.

Making a wooden cart is a tedious and long process. Although Zhuang Mengdie can endure it, it does not affect her feeling bored.

She hadn't seen the leader for a long time since he went to the barren mountain camp. Now that she saw him, she felt a little bit excited, thinking...

[The leader didn’t know what interesting things he brought back this time.]

During this period, Zhou Xu didn't think too much and just unfolded the bamboo bow design that he had slowly drawn during his breaks along the way in front of Zhuang Mengdie's eyes.

We haven’t seen each other for a long time, and we didn’t say any pleasantries, so we went straight to the topic.

"This is a new weapon I designed, called the Bamboo Bow..."

While talking, Zhou Xu explained his idea to Zhuang Mengdie in detail.

"The design principle of this weapon is actually not complicated. It just uses the toughness of bamboo, a new material."

While talking, Zhou Xu broke a piece of bamboo that had been simply processed several times in front of Zhuang Mengdie's eyes.

With the exertion of force, the originally straight bamboo strips bent into an unexpected arc. Then as soon as the hand was released, the bamboo strips immediately bounced back, causing Zhuang Mengdie's eyes to twinkle as he watched this scene.

Full of novelty and splendor.

Such toughness is not available in any material they know of.

After Zhuang Mengdie saw the toughness of bamboo with his own eyes, the principle of this bamboo bow was easily explained.

"My idea is roughly like this. Of course, during the production process, if you have any ideas, you can also add them to have a look. You know, this bamboo bow is still in the research and development stage, and there are only three criteria for success.

point."

While speaking, Zhou Xu stretched out three fingers in turn.

"Respectively, make the arrows fired more stable, more powerful, and have a longer range! In the process of ensuring these three items, you can add your own ideas as much as you like."

"Okay, I understand, chief."

Zhuang Mengdie nodded after hearing this.

Zhuang Mengdie is a high-IQ talent with an intelligence ceiling of four stars. With her natural abilities, she is undoubtedly the backbone of their equipment department.

Starting from this point, Zhou Xu, as the leader, naturally hopes that Zhuang Mengdie will also develop his own intelligence while making things, so that he can also have the ability to conceive, design and improve.

After all, he himself doesn't know everything.

At this stage, although his knowledge reserve is still sufficient, with the rapid development of the tribe, when his knowledge reserve cannot keep up, he will really have to rely on the talents under him to mobilize his wise brain to carry out continuous research.

groped.

For this reason, Zhou Xu has never stopped developing the strengths of the talents under his command.

Unfortunately, until now, except for myself and Ye Jinghong's command star level, which was upgraded from one star to two stars at the beginning, none of those two-star attributes have been successfully upgraded to three stars.

This shows that at this stage, they are still far from the limits of ordinary humans.

Considering this, Zhou Xu even admired himself a little, because among his five-dimensional attributes, his mental attribute has reached three stars beyond the level of ordinary humans from the very beginning!

However, judging from the current situation, reaching four stars is probably still far away. Improving this star level is much more difficult than he imagined!

I went to the hospital, so the update is late.
