Wang Qi, who was watching the whole process, felt that they still had some ideas.
Now the deserters are more wary of each other than they trust each other, but as long as there is a stable source of food and no new Rathore gang emerges, it will not be difficult for the deserters to accept village-style settlements. The three people's current focus is , also mainly focused on the first-phase fence project and the land utilization within the first-phase project.
Before this land was used as construction land, it was a public asset and would be planted for free by the people in the desert. As long as they contributed manpower to the plowing and farming process, they would be able to receive food. It was a bit like a commune.
Not only the project itself, they have also thought about the future structure of the village.
The castle serves as a temporary shelter when the entire village is under great threat. After the village is formed, it will be changed to purely public purposes, such as children's education, security personnel training, village offices, blacksmith houses, etc. that are difficult to build outside in the short term. The good ones are temporarily kept in the castle, and they will not consider moving out until the wooden house is converted into a stone house, which will be at least five years later.
Thinking very far, hope is indeed a kind of motivation.
Unfortunately, due to limited resources and available manpower, it will take at least two winters before the initial results are achieved. People's hearts may change faster, and they can only rely on themselves to determine how to do it.
Before Wang Qi took the snow lion back, he left a message to haul 300 kilograms of meat tomorrow so that they could start work as soon as possible.
The half-year winter forces everyone to race against time. Village projects cannot occupy the golden period from late summer to late autumn, and everything must be accelerated.
I said a few words and was about to leave, but someone refused to let me go.
"Sir, wait!"
Remember the URL m.x63xS.
Tap tap tap, a woman walked out of the crowd and shouted to stop the snow lion. Wang Qi turned around and looked at the snow lion because he didn't recognize her.
"Zoya..." Snow Lion read out the woman's name with a complicated expression.
The woman ignored him and looked at Wang Qi, "Sir, I want to go with Snow Lion. I can do many things, including tailoring, carpentry, and a little bit of tanning."
What, what, what, what, this world is broken, and people come out to spread dog food from time to time, are single people allowed to live?
Wang Qi, who was complaining crazily in his heart, looked at Snow Lion again. His expression was tangled, as if he wanted to refuse but didn't know how to speak.
Okay, got it.
"Who is in charge of you now?" Wang Qi asked the woman.
Someone from behind answered directly: "I, my lord, you can take it away if you want. I have no objection."
I don’t dare to have an opinion on this one.
"Okay, you can follow." This once again determines a person's fate.
The two of them murmured while leading the way, and Wang Qi, who had good hearing, probably understood the situation.
It’s still a matter of women’s status. In the wasteland, women are more dependent on men than in the farming era, and their status is very low. In the ten days since Snow Lion fell from power, Zoya was bullied a lot and even beaten and scolded. In addition, the two of them had some feelings for each other. Basically, it might be Stockholm Syndrome. Anyway, I came here on impulse when I saw a snow lion today.
Wang Qi is not just a good person. If this woman is willing to provide labor and has certain skills, she will be useful. He cannot be expected to mend the clothes of the reform-through-labor prisoners himself. Prisoners in the reform-through-labor camp need a teacher to do it themselves. The snow lion will protect Zoya, so there is no need to send extra people to protect the teacher.
It was already dark when he returned to the blacksmith, and Li Xiang was still standing at the door staring at several reform-through-labor prisoners. The seven of them seemed not to have been beaten, but just stood together with grimaces.
Wang Qi leaned over and touched his head: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Hmm~ o(*￣▽￣*)o." Li wanted to be separated from him for a few hours and couldn't help but grab the hem of his clothes.
Clap your hands and make a sound: "Everyone, pull the car home. Pulling this car will be your main job in the future."
"???"
The expressions of the reform-through-labor prisoners were subtle. They didn't know what the mysterious ritual of pulling a carriage was, and Wang Qi didn't explain it.
But there is no other way. The God of Killing has no choice but to do what he says.
There are nine iron rings on the frame in front of the frame, four on each side of the columns, and one in the center of the bottom edge. A special knot is used to fix the 6mm 7×7 steel strand obtained from the building materials supermarket.
When not in use, the steel strand is bent into a butterfly shape and fixed by its own elasticity. When pulling the cart, each person can divide the thread into two ends. The thread ends are fastened into a ring and wrapped with sawdust and two layers of wear-resistant fabric. It can be used as a schoolbag cover on the shoulder. use.
The ring and steel strand in the middle are special. It is an eight-millimeter wire. If the iron ring on the column falls off, one person on each side will pull it here to ensure even traction. There are a lot of things like this. Try to minimize the need for repairs during the journey and leave it to the temporary residence to fix various minor problems.
At this stage, the total weight of the vehicle is about 1.5 tons. It is not difficult for eight people to pull it. It is much easier than pushing the tires in the morning.
On the second day after returning to the base, Wang Qi and Li Xiang took several reform-through-labor prisoners to deliver meat. The laborers of Elena's family also received new jobs and began to take the remaining reform-through-labor prisoners to process oak.
The next few days were busy.
Wang Qi's actions were still mainly about hunting. He went to the building materials warehouse twice to replenish materials and delivered 300 kilograms of meat to the castle every ten days. The extra time was spent focusing on the progress of the RV.
The oak has been cut into boards in the winter, and now the work is to thin, shape, and polish them, and they are ready for loading.
In fact, for the convenience of subsequent maintenance, it should be waxed, but there is no wood wax oil and the amount of paraffin is not enough, so I can only save it. Unwaxed wood is more susceptible to damage. The only way to increase the process is to make the floor a little thinner and add decorative glue on both sides. The wall will not need an exterior finish, which saves some work.
There are a lot of planks to be made, and half a month has passed since the money to support the reconstruction of the village has been paid, and the RV is basically completed.
This is a wooden RV completely wrapped by a metal frame. It opens the door in the middle. The interior width is 2.2 meters. The height of other parts except the bedroom is 2.1 meters. The bedroom is located at the end and has two floors, each with a height of 1.2 meters, which is enough for people to sit. There is still a surplus.
In order to make themselves and Li Xiang more comfortable, the upper bedroom is adjacent to the main space of the vehicle. There is a small desk and matching candlestick that can be lowered from the wall; the lower floor is integrated with storage cabinets for small items, with two doors, one of which can be opened directly from the outside. When people take a break, they don’t have to enter the carriage to make any noise.
The main entrance door and the outer door of the lower bedroom are all made of 7cm wooden boards with aluminum alloy frames, which can withstand even a sneak attack by a polar bear.
The bedroom is made relatively loose, and there is a sliding door to protect the body, which takes up 2.4 meters of the interior space. There is also a whole wall of lockers at the front of the car that takes up some of the length of the car, and some of the standing space occupied by the wall storage is removed. , the main space is roughly 4×2.
There is no kitchen, and the main space only has a set of movable tables and chairs with four seats. After lowering the countertop, an additional narrow double bed with head and tail (chair back) can be set up.
Wang Qi also has arrangements for the people outside the RV.
Relying on a large piece of rainproof cloth obtained from the building materials supermarket to protect the roof of the car, through several support rods, when the rainproof cloth is fully opened, it can provide a rainproof area of more than one meter wide for people outside the car, and the unsupported part can be pulled down If it is fixed, it can be regarded as a wild shelter, but it has no defense and needs to be temporarily fenced.
The RV does not have a viewing window. There are some small wooden shutters with a side length of 20 centimeters. They can be used as shooting ports when opened. In winter, glass windows are used to enhance thermal insulation. However, by then, you should live in a temporary settlement. No need for glass windows.
"That's great, this is really great." On the day when the bedding was being laid, Elena also went downstairs and circled around the car, her eyes shining brightly, and she was very excited.
On the other side, standing in a row, were the reform-through-labor prisoners with sad faces.
They watched the RV becoming heavier day by day, and thought of Wang Qi's words that "pulling the trailer is their main job." They became more and more depressed day by day. They finally understood what labor reform was. They thought it was an easy job at first, but now...
"Can I go up?" Elena was as happy as a child.
Wang Qi and Li Xiang were fighting with the quilt in the bedroom on the second floor: "Of course."
Elena got on the car and saw that Wang Qi and Li Xiang were both barefoot, so she quickly took off their shoes and came in wearing socks.
"You don't have to take off your shoes."
The wooden materials in the building materials warehouse are rotten to some extent, and the paint-free wood veneer cannot be used. The veneer glue is rolled up and stored in the outer packaging. Only the outer ring is slightly aged, and most of it is usable. It feels average on the feet, but fortunately it is made of thick solid wood underneath so it won't freeze your feet.
"It's very comfortable." Elena put her shoes under the special shoe cabinet at the door, sat on the dining chair covered with sheets, and looked at the two people who were busy at the back of the car, "It's great."
"The beds below are for you, but you can only sleep up to three at a time." Wang Qi opened the sliding door of the lower bunk to let her see what was going on inside.
Although it cannot be completely upright, the bed in the RV with a height of 1.2 meters is definitely as luxurious as a car.
There are six people in Elena's family, and Elena, the oldest, has enough attributes to keep up with the team on foot, and three bunks are enough.
"Where are Snow Lion and the others?"
"Build the floor, over there at the front of the car."
The lower level at the rear of the car sleeps 3 people, while Wang Qi and Li Xiang sleep in the upper level. The dining table and seats are combined with an additional double bed and 2 more people. The main space can also open a floor bunk to accommodate 3 people.
A RV can accommodate up to ten people sleeping at the same time without hindering their respective access. The remaining people stand guard outside. Staying overnight before arriving at the temporary settlement can save a lot of planning time, ensure physical fitness, improve the efficiency of the journey, and have more time to rush. In fact, it is not slower than bringing a lot of trucks.
"Bah, bang, bang, bang." Elena clapped involuntarily. She didn't expect that after decades of leaving the civilized world, she would have the opportunity to live in an RV.
"The abilities of the eight of them are limited. I still can't trust them now, otherwise they can do better."
Because there are building materials warehouses and blacksmiths, the main restrictions on the size of RVs are the traction that the labor reform prisoners can provide and the road conditions. If the traction is strong enough, a RV the size of a double-decker bus is not out of the question.
Of course, it is too luxurious and may cost a little money, but that is not a problem to consider now. This is enough for the time being.
"Good enough, good enough, better than imagined." Elena was not so ambitious.
This RV may not be beautiful enough in the industrial era, but its outer frame composed of a large number of thick angle steel and X-shaped aluminum alloy supports, combined with the thickened wooden boards inside and some triangular support structures in the corners, can really give people a sense of security. , Sitting here even feels more at ease than in the houses of many farmers in the northern suburbs.
After the RV is completed, the next step is to actually test it.
