Combining the mortise and tenon structure with glue can improve sufficient stability and strength without affecting production efficiency to the greatest extent.

This thing is simple to say, but not simple at all to do.

Which part uses mortise and tenon structure, and which part uses glue? How to distribute it to be the most cost-effective?

This is something that needs to be carefully considered and tried.

During this period, he received a report from Zhuang Mengdie, which made Zhou Xu fall into brief contemplation.

If this bamboo bow continues to be developed, it means they have to invest more time.

And by then, even if the new bamboo bow is successfully developed and put into mass production, it will still take a lot of time.

This will undoubtedly greatly slow down their overall armed efficiency, which makes Zhou Xu, who has recently been eager to improve the tribe's combat power and train it, slightly hesitant.

But he was still a straightforward person after all, and after thinking about it for a while, he agreed.

Sharpening the knife will keep you from chopping wood, and now is the time to ‘sharpen the knife’.

Although the production and training of bows and arrows have been postponed, their tribe has just completed the first batch of recruitment.

Let’s not talk about other training. As for weapon training, even if you are unable to conduct bow and arrow training for the time being, you can still conduct stone ax training and spear training.

The daily training items are basically fixed. After a period of training, even if Zhou Chongshan and Li Ce are not here, the soldiers in the camp know what they need to do every day, which saves them a lot of worry.

But saving worry does not mean saving effort.

The recruitment work in this camp has come to an end for the time being. Will it also start in other camps?

Needless to say, on a new day, Zhou Xu took Zhou Chongshan and Li Ce directly to the Salt Lake Camp to recruit troops.

The population of Salt Lake Camp has increased after adding quarry teams.

But the work pressure is also high. At the same time, as a functional small camp, Salt Lake Camp cannot compare with Black Moon Camp, which is the base camp, in terms of size and population.

Taking into account the matter of maintaining the normal operation of the camp, even the Black Moon Camp has only recruited ten soldiers, why should the Salt Lake Camp be reduced in half?

After one trip, only five were collected.

According to Zhou Xu's previous thinking, in order to minimize the impact of conscription on the camp's labor force, these soldiers usually help various departments in the camp to do hard work.

Considering this, the five soldiers recruited from the Salt Lake Camp naturally cannot be taken to the Black Moon Camp. They can only be trained here at the Salt Lake Camp for the time being. By the way, they can also serve as daily garrison here to ensure the safety of the camp.

.

After the soldiers are familiar with the training process and there are no major problems for the time being, they will leave and go to the grassland camp to recruit soldiers.

During this process, he also thought about the barren mountain camp.

The barren mountain camp with a population of one hundred people is currently the camp with the largest population in their tribe.

Originally, according to Zhou Xu's idea, his first batch of soldiers was the top priority, and there were not many to choose from, so he had to carefully select each one and follow the route of elite soldiers.

But the distance to the barren mountain camp is too far, and it takes too much time to go back and forth.

There was no other way. After many weighings, Zhou Xu decided to hand over this matter to Shi Lei, who was in charge there.

Early this morning, the person responsible for delivering the order had already set off with the transport team.

During this period, as the new plan for the camp was fully developed, the construction of the barren mountain camp completely shifted to the inside of the mountain.

Under this premise, since they needed to provide a large amount of bamboo for camp construction, Shi Lei had to expand the territory outwards and include the bamboo forest area within their territory.

But in this case, they will inevitably interact with some tribes deep in the mountains and forests...

The same was true on this day. After discovering each other's existence, both sides obviously became nervous. The other side frequently sent people to the edges of each other's activity areas to test each other.

As the person in charge of the barren mountain camp, Shi Lei sent additional manpower to the edge of the area as soon as he received the news.

On this day, the conflict broke out again...

"The person on the other side is coming, run!"

In the mountains and forests, a armed conflict broke out between more than a dozen people from both sides.

Originally the two sides were evenly matched in numbers, and coupled with the complex mountain and forest environment, it was hard to separate them.

But the opponent obviously didn't expect that Shi Lei's support would come so quickly.

Once the support here arrives, the opponent has no advantage at all, so it is wise to run away immediately.

Things like this can be said to have happened frequently recently, but Shi Lei didn't think there was anything strange about it.

In this era, when two tribes discover each other's existence within their own scope of activities, something like this is bound to happen.

For now, he has placed manpower at the outpost on the edge of the barren mountain camp.

Once an armed conflict occurs in the outer area, reinforcements will immediately follow.

With their numerical advantage, they can basically ensure that their camp remains invincible in the many recent conflicts.

In addition, before their leader left the barren mountain camp, he had also given him a brief introduction to some tribal forces that might exist deep in the mountains.

Combining this information, there is a high probability that the tribe they are currently in conflict with is not their opponent.

Although judging from the current situation, Shi Lei believed that he did not need reinforcements and could handle it by himself, he still had to make a good report.

After the messenger came with the transport team and informed them of the leader's latest order, Shi Lei also quickly informed the other party of the situation and asked the other party to take the news back.

After all, this news was somewhat important, so the messenger did not dare to take more rest. After sleeping one night in the barren mountain camp, he set off in a hurry.

At this moment, Zhou Xu and others are still at the Salt Lake Camp.

In the past few days, Zhou Chongshan and Li Ce were busy training the new recruits, while Zhou Xu was busy inspecting the work at the Salt Lake Camp and the conditions of various departments.

As a functional camp, Salt Lake Camp has always provided important resources to the entire tribe. After opening the chicken farm and quarry, its status will undoubtedly be higher, and Zhou Xu naturally has to pay attention to it.

When the chicken farm was just established, Zhou Xuyou asked Zhao Geng to come over and take a look and give some advice on the breeding work of the chicken farm.

Now, after some time, the chicken farm has been in a decent state.

After taking a general look around, Zhou Xu took his people to the quarry to inspect the situation.

There were stones everywhere in the Gobi. He thought about the layout of the area, found a stone wall that might hinder later development, and asked the quarrying team to dig it.

At this moment, the five new recruits who had just been recruited were helping in the quarry. Under the scorching sun, they were all waving hoes and working hard.

The weather is estimated to be around thirty-five degrees, so it's seriously summer.

At this moment, Zhou Xu, who seemed to have been blinded by something, frowned slightly...

【Eye of Insight!】

Without hesitation, the 'Eye of Insight' opened directly, and the field of vision became significantly clearer, allowing Zhou Xu to lock on to the stones that exuded a metallic luster in the sun at a glance...
