The last two months of winter on the snow planet are the most difficult for humans, and the darkness before dawn is nothing more than that.
All kinds of crazy things can happen. After Ye Qiong jumped off the city wall with Daidai, he rode on Daidai's back and galloped towards the coal mine.
The purpose of this time is to go over and take a look at the food storage. Although there is no need to worry about the food spoiling this month, from next month, when the ice and snow begin to melt, if the meat currently stored is not dried, it will slowly Slowly deteriorating.
After running wildly for a while, Ye Qiong rode Daidai to the area of the coal mine. Now that there are roads, it is indeed much more convenient.
The tribe did not have this kind of food problem in the past, because by this time, there was not much food left.
After experiencing this year's ice sculptures, the Ye Qiong tribe's current meat reserves are astonishing.
So Ye Qiong had to think ahead about what to do with the meat.
After riding Daidu to the location of the coal mine base, Ronling ran over to say hello to Ye Qiong, and found that Ronling had become stronger.
He looked at the people following him again and found that they were indeed much mellower now.
It seemed that these guys were having a good time recently. Ye Qiong frowned and walked towards them.
After hitting their shoulders a few times, the muscles did relax a lot.
"Uncle Rong...are you starting to feel pampered?" Ye Qiong said angrily.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Ye Qiong has not been here for two months. It seems that they usually only focus on digging coal. That kind of physical work is completely incomparable with the intensity of training Ye Qiong has set for the soldiers.
Ronling scratched his head in embarrassment: "Hey, I'm going to start training them harder. The main reason is that the recent food is so good. I can't blame the soldiers. Look at those big pits of meat. In the past two months, We ate as much as we could, so we only ate a few bits, and the soldiers also thought not to waste it."
"That's just what you need to eat when you're full. Eat when you need to. Don't stop training. Spring is about to start. You'll be busy by then. Don't bring me a group of fat people who are eating dry food." Ye Qiong Then he said.
"Yes!"
Walking to the large pits where the ice-carved meat was stored, Ye Qiong was stunned for a moment.
In the past two months, the soldiers responsible for mining the coal mines, while mining the coal mines, when they had nothing else to do, liked to run to the periphery and continue to pick up ice sculptures and meat. After killing a few scavengers, they also All the stored ice-carved meat was moved back.
Two months ago, when Ye Qiong came, there were still three big pits, but now there are actually seven...
Each pit is as big as a basketball court and five meters deep. You can imagine how much meat can be stored in seven such pits.
It's no wonder that the soldiers who are responsible for mining the coal mines here are all rounded up. The meat, let alone them, is enough for the entire tribe to eat for more than half a year.
If you can store this meat properly, you won't have to worry about food next winter.
There is still the last month of optimal storage period left. After another month, it will be too late. If the meat is still in this pit in another two months, we can only watch it rot and deteriorate. , slowly turning into a septic tank.
After thinking for a while, Ye Qiong estimated the altitude here, and then looked up at the Dinglong Mountain Range.
Based on the current level of technology, there are only two ways to store all seven pit meats until next winter.
Either it was dried into dried meat and then put into the tribe's storage room, or it had to be moved up a distance and buried in a place covered with snow all year round in the Dinglong Mountains.
In fact, the best way Ye Qiong thought of was to make cans, but it was impossible now. He couldn't even get enough iron to make a steam engine. Without machinery, the utensils made would be very thick and serious. waste of resources.
Besides...
With the current tribe's simple and crude iron refining technology, there is no problem in making weapons. If it is used directly to make utensils to store food, there will be great safety risks.
The materials used to make cans must meet the premise of being harmless to the human body, and then have good sealing and anti-corrosion properties.
Obviously, Ye Qiong had no interest in using pig iron to make cans before mastering the stainless steel composite material.
The speed of coal mining cannot be stopped, so Ye Qiong is ready to continue to draw manpower from the tribe.
As the saying goes, eggs cannot be put in one basket.
Ye Qiong is now preparing to work on both sides together, and let the tribe's warriors transport half to a higher altitude. It is covered with snow all year round, the temperature is always below zero degrees Celsius, and there are no monsters or scavengers. Go up there, the security is pretty good too.
The other half is transported back to the tribe, and the women in the tribe cut it into slices and hang it to dry. After the water is removed, it needs to be further processed so that it can be stored longer.
Roughly speaking, flooding it with a lot of salt can effectively prevent mildew and decay.
After mobilizing the manpower here, in order to speed up efficiency, Ye Qiong and Daidai also participated.
Now the wild horses in the wild horse herd have been almost tamed and can cooperate with the convoy to carry out collection tasks, which is much more efficient.
A week later, good news came from the tribe.
That was the repeating crossbow that Ye Qiong threw to the tribal school. A bunch of little carrot heads actually developed new tricks, and its power was greatly improved.
Ye Qiong put down what he was doing, rode on the Mustang King, and followed Tang Ying over.
The school in the tribe has been deliberately renovated by Ye Qiong. Ye Qiong deeply understands the importance of knowledge and the next generation, so at this point, the investment of material and manpower must be more generous.
There are a total of five houses in the whole school, each with different uses. Now because there are not many children in the tribe, and after reaching a certain age, they must receive training. Children with good talents, Will become a warrior of the tribe.
Practicing martial arts is something that men in the tribe must do. This is a prerequisite. For Cong Wen, it depends on talent and intelligence. There is no way to do this. We can only use the human sea tactic and slowly select from among them. , and then focus on cultivating.
Maximize efficiency.
Now the entire school is under the management of Tang Ying. Based on the knowledge Ye Qiong imparted to Tang Ying, Tang Ying divided these little carrot heads into several grades according to their age groups.
Then there were a few children with obviously superior intelligence who were taken out by Tang Ying alone and placed in a small wooden room on the other side, and they would be given extra small stoves.
The repeating crossbow thrown by Ye Qiong in front was studied and upgraded by these little guys.
