, wonderful and free of pop-ups! Tang Zhen stood on a high place and looked at the crowded valley. Although they were only active in a small area, they also brought a bit of vitality to the valley.
The three completed defense lines are in a semicircular shape, surrounding the entire depression in front of the cliff, with an interval of about one hundred meters.
Tang Zhen did not build the defense line too far away, so that when monsters attacked the city on a large scale, Tang Zhen and his residents could hide behind the defense line and defend in an orderly manner.
Tang Zhen didn't feel bad about consuming weapons. What he couldn't bear to see was that his future residents would die at the mouth of monsters, so he spent a lot of money on weapons and equipment.
Waving to call Tyson, who was directing a dozen wanderers to make short javelins from steel pipes, and calling a few strong men with round waists, Tang Zhen began to teach them how to use the crossbow and trebuchet.
These two great weapons of the cold weapon era are currently being produced. In order to live up to Tang Zhen's trust, the uneducated Wang Daqing even brought his cousin, a college student who was engaged in mechanics, to participate in the research and production together. Now Several units have been successfully produced.
This is the advantage of the technological age. As long as you have the technology and materials, this small workshop can even build simple aircraft and armored vehicles for you!
Wang Daqing worked hard, so Tang Zhen would not treat him badly. Now, his monthly salary has been increased to 50,000 by Tang Zhen, which is definitely the top salary standard in this city.
The bed crossbow and trebuchet had not yet arrived, so Tang Zhen only used explanations and picture demonstrations to familiarize them with the operation of the bed crossbow and trebuchet in advance.
Because after the bed crossbows and trebuchets are delivered, these weapons will be placed on the roofs and windows of the building to attack monsters from a high position.
Tang Zhen had seen the power of the Crossbow in Black Rock City, so he was looking forward to this weapon being able to work wonders in the battle to defend the city.
Leaving Tyson, who was discussing with his men what items to use as crossbows, Tang Zhen came to the bottom of the cliff in the depression of the valley. At this moment, Murong Ziyan was leading three women, carefully surrounding a one cubic meter square. All around the rocks.
This rock is the stone platform that carries the foundation stone and is also the altar used to stack the brain beads for sacrifice.
There are lines drawn with grass juice stone powder on the rock, which are full of mystery and desolation. Murong Ziyan is holding a hammer and steel pick, and three women who also use hammers are carefully carving out these lines. .
This is a delicate job like embroidery, and it cannot be done by rough men.
Seeing Tang Zhen looking at the patterns on the stone with great interest, Murong Ziyan smiled and introduced: "The patterns on this stone platform are said to have been handed down from ancient times. If you want to build a city, you must carve a stone." This kind of stone platform is used to carry foundation stones. I heard from my teacher that the various patterns dotted on this stone platform represent thousands of worlds, and the big ball in the middle represents the land under our feet. All the The world is centered on this land, and this is also the final soul home of all life on the stars.”
Listening to Murong Ziyan's words, Tang Zhen seemed to have some insights in his heart, but he couldn't get any clues.
Leaving Murong Ziyan who was carefully carving the stone platform, Tang Zhen returned to the cave and teleported back home.
This time he was going to Wang Daqing's village to collect goods. Because the quantity was large, Tang Zhen hired a car and went with him to his weapons and equipment production base.
After driving into the village, Wang Daqing greeted him and chatted with Tang Zhen about work and production.
The hired villagers are loading the packed armor and weapons into the car. Everyone has a smile on their face. They earn piece-rate wages when working here. These days, they work early and late, earning five or six hundred yuan a day, and they feel very happy. satisfy.
As for the swords and armor produced, they are only used as props and decorations. If someone tells them that these things are really used for fighting on the battlefield, they will definitely sneer at them. How can anyone still wear them after this age? Armor and take to the battlefield wielding a big blade!
After the loading was completed, the sun had set. Tang Zhen said goodbye to Wang Daqing and led the way, letting the driver drive the car into a temporarily rented warehouse.
After sending the driver away and asking him to pick up the car the next day, Tang Zhen began the transport.
The five cubic meters of space is very large. Tang Zhen only used it a few times to get these armors and weapons into the cave. Then he said a few words to Tyson and Qianlong who were standing next to him with sparkling eyes, and then teleported back home. I'm going to bed.
When Tang Zhen returned to the Loucheng world again, five assembled bed crossbows were already placed in front of him.
Compared with the bulky and primitive bed crossbows, these five three-bow bed crossbows, redesigned and made using modern materials, are very convenient to operate, but are far more powerful than the original versions.
This bed crossbow uses a special crossbow arrow, which is about 1.5 meters. The moderate weight can ensure that it has sufficient shooting range, and the sharp arrows ensure its lethality. In order to ensure the accuracy and stability of the crossbow arrows, the arrows The fuselage and additional rear wing are also specially designed.
After seeing this, Tang Zhen repeatedly praised him. Wang Daqing's cousin is definitely a talent if he specializes in martial arts. He must find a way to keep him here.
With the bed crossbow and trebuchet in place, other arrangements can be made, such as burying animal traps, iron dysentery, and tethering horse ropes.
After another two days, with nearly 400 people working overtime, all the work was finally completed. Looking at the completely formed defensive belt, it was only at this moment that Tang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
But he also knows that the challenge has just begun, and the real highlight has not yet happened!
The wanderers who originally belonged to the valley camp have begun to become familiar with their newly acquired weapons and equipment. They are wearing bright and sturdy armor and wielding sharp spears. These wanderers who originally did not even have a kitchen knife, a I was so happy that I couldn’t close my mouth from ear to ear the whole day.
In their words, even if they bought their whole family, they still wouldn't be able to get such a piece of armor. But now the city lord only has one suit for himself, and it's simply something that the wealthy people don't want!
Now that I have these equipment, I can estimate the value. Oh, I can be considered a wealthy person!
Some people were happy and some were sad. At this time, the wanderers from outside were rolling their eyes as they looked at the few guys in front of them who were deliberately walking around to show off their equipment.
Seeing the guy who was digging trenches with him yesterday, suddenly wearing brand new armor and carrying a sharp sword, running up to show off in front of him, the mood of those outside employees could not be described as envy, jealousy and hatred.
The poor suddenly become rich, how proud are you? You don't look like a prince's country bumpkin when you put on a dragon robe. What a majestic suit of armor. Wearing it on these guys, it's like wearing a bucket!
The city lord named Tang Zhen was so prodigal that he gave each of the dozen guys who were not even wild cultivators a brand new set of armor and a fine weapon. This set cost at least several hundred dollars. Brain beads can definitely be regarded as family heirlooms.
Rich people are so willful!
Ma De, these guys are really unlucky. Why don't we have such a good life? I think I am a first-class monk, but now I can't even hold a short sword. Hey... people are so irritating. !
The wanderers from outside sighed, their eyes red with envy.
The original plan of these wanderers hired by Qianlong was to leave immediately after the completion. They did not want to wait until the monsters attacked the city to be killed. After all, according to the experience of the wanderers, newly built buildings are almost never successful, and 90% of them are destroyed in the hands of siege monsters.
However, after seeing the abundant supplies and strong strength of the valley camp, especially after Tang Zhen showed off the mountains of armor and weapons, they felt a little hope.
This person has so many weapons and food, he should be able to hold on when monsters attack the city, right?
With a glimmer of expectation, the wanderers began to hesitate, and it was this hesitation that made them finally choose to stay.
Whether you live or die depends on this time. After all, we have already had enough of the wandering life. Anyway, sooner or later, we will die from hunger, cold or monsters, so we might as well fight now!
So these wanderers also joined the training team, taking the newly acquired weapons and armor, and training over and over again according to Tyson's instructions.
Years of wandering in the wasteland, fighting against monsters and similar species, have given these surviving wanderers the potential to be warriors, and they learn how to operate various weapons very quickly.
The trebuchet and bed crossbow have been assembled, and the Rangers began to try to cooperate with the operation. Tyson and Qianlong also formulated several sets of tactics based on their own experience in dealing with monsters.
When Tang Zhen felt that everything was almost ready, he decided to start building the city!
