After explaining this, Ye Qiong felt that the armory, that is, the blacksmith shop needed to be expanded.
In the past, the three of them, including Bai Chi, were actually enough to build the weapons and equipment needed by the entire tribe.
Although it seems to be only three months, the output will not be reduced due to almost year-round work.
Especially during the long eighteen-month cold winter, the blacksmith shop was always working during the day. For Kuang Baichi and others, life consisted of eating, sleeping and forging.
The warriors of the tribe, which originally had a population of nearly a thousand, did not have a large demand for weapons. After all, a handy weapon could last a warrior for many years, or even a lifetime. Better weapons could be passed down and used for many generations.
However, since the development of the tribe has accelerated a lot now, the requirements for iron tools are not just weapons and animal traps, but also need to be expanded to various precision iron tools that Ye Qiong will need in the future.
Although ironware manufacturing and weaponry manufacturing are completely different directions, the only thing they have in common is that they both need to forge iron, so this task still has to be left to Kuang Baichi, who then selects some young people from the tribe to be responsible for ironware manufacturing.
After greeting Kuang Baichi, Ye Qiong immediately called Yang Dingtian over. Kuang Baichi was responsible for finding people, so the expansion task was handed over to Yang Dingtian. Now the scale of the blacksmith shop must be expanded at least three times. .
Ye Qiong just wants to see the result, and leave the process to Yang Dingtian. At worst, he can just move the bricks himself. After all, Yang Dingtian is not old yet, so beating his son is like beating his grandson, he is very energetic.
If you don't work, you can't do anything. The tribe will definitely not support idlers, except for the disabled and elderly people who have completely lost their ability to move.
There are also babies like Huang Ling.
The remaining people, who can walk normally, must be engaged in the great construction of the tribe.
Things like choosing people can't be found for a while, but expanding the blacksmith shop can be done on the same day.
When Yang Dingtian went back, he captured five young men, all of whom were over fifty years old. Together with himself, they devoted themselves to the expansion of the blacksmith shop. This physical work was not enough for this group of middle-aged people who had not yet withdrawn from the ranks. For men, it's not a big deal.
I believe that the scale of the blacksmith shop will increase soon. When Kuang Baichi recruits people and develops it steadily, the tribe's iron tools will depend on it.
During the past two days, Ye Qiong was still very busy.
While frantically pulling Tang Ying to practice at night, Ye Qiong understood very well that technological development was necessary, but physical practice must not be left behind.
No matter how Xuexing develops and how powerful it is, it is still a whole, and Ye Qiong, as an independent individual, must be strong and challenge the limits of his body.
A week has passed since Ye Qiong last returned from the coal mine base. There are only the last fourteen days, or half a month, of winter on the Snow Star.
At this moment, much of the snow on the ground has melted. The ground that has been covered in dust for eighteen months is finally exposed, and the land can breathe the fresh air that it has not seen for a long time.
In the morning, Ye Qiong got up early and ran several laps around the ice wall in the tribe. At this time, the ice wall had begun to melt. Only the wooden towers on both sides and in the middle were still standing. Unfortunately, Ye Qiong is preparing to dismantle the giant crossbow on the tower in a few days.
I plan to move it to the outer stone wall.
Nowadays, everything on the Snow Star has revived, and the beast herd has begun to disperse. The Warcraft, which has been running around all winter, is actually quite tired. Fortunately, it follows the King Beast and saves its own life.
Next is the time for them to reproduce. As the pregnant females leave the group, the male animals will gradually disperse, and some will still stay in groups of three or five, looking for new habitats.
The King Beast will also find a land with fertile water and grass to recuperate and turn it into its territory. Once high-level monsters or humans step into it, they will be mercilessly hunted by the King Beast.
The people of the tribe have gotten up a lot now. They are hardworking and brave, and they know that every inch of time is worth every inch of gold, and every inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time, so in terms of tribal development and construction...
Very hard!
After circling the ice wall several times, Ye Qiong ran to the southern city wall.
Now only this side of the city wall is left. After the construction of this side of the city wall is completed, monsters under three meters can be easily resisted. In the future, we will definitely continue to reinforce and build on top. After all, the height of seven meters is too high for the king. Beasts and some high-level magical beasts that are over five meters tall are nothing more than decorations.
The foundation for the southern city wall is currently being laid. With the experience of building three stone walls, the construction speed and quality of the last side with a gate are much higher.
After Ye Qiong strolled around for a while, he continued to the stable, took out the Mustang King, and galloped towards the coal mine base.
The Mustang King ran all the way, and in just a moment, he arrived at the coal mine base. Ronling and the others were still guarding the entrance of the cave.
Not far from the cave, Dudu dug a big hole for himself. He was lying in it and sleeping. There were several leg bones at the entrance of the hole, and the meat on them had been chewed clean.
It looks like the food last night was pretty good.
The Mustang King let out a long roar, and immediately raised his dumb head, and then poked his head out of the hole. After seeing Ye Qiong jumping off the back of the Mustang King, he immediately got out of the hole, stumbling. Ran over.
This time...
Staying is boring!
They only eat and sleep every day. There are no fights. They are free enough to entertain themselves. Some monsters that retreated from the beast tide near the coal mine wandered here and were captured mercilessly.
The few thigh bones at the entrance of the cave are the results of yesterday's dull victory.
Dudu came out of the hole and immediately trotted to Ye Qiong. He must have thought that Ye Qiong was going to take it out to play.
Ye Qiong patted Dudu's forehead and ignored it. He walked to the cave, jumped onto the five-meter-high stone wall, and then looked inside.
"Uncle Rong, get me some more meat." Ye Qiong looked back at Ronling and said.
In just a short while, Ronling came back with three soldiers dragging a whole raft of meat.
Now the meat in the several large pits dug in the entire coal base has been moved to the heights of the Dinglong Mountains, where there is snow all year round. The meat is frozen and stored there for a year. As long as it is not eaten raw, , there is no big problem.
The intestines and stomachs of Snow Star humans are still very strong. Generally speaking, meat that has not deteriorated very seriously will not cause any problems as long as it is cooked.
After getting the raft and meat into the cave, Ye Qiong took a spear and a torch from Ronling, and asked Daidai to drag the raft and carry the lantern and arrow on his back, and walked into the depths of the cave...
