Riding Dadai, he ran as fast as possible to the coal mine base.
Ye Qiong first came to the location of the cave. Several soldiers responsible for guarding the cave have not been idle this month. They have been consolidating the defense construction here. At this time, the scale of the stone walls and some surrounding defense measures is getting bigger and bigger. Big.
This kind of defensive measures will not stop. As long as the soldiers are still guarding here, they will continue to be used. One day, they will be used.
Even if they don't need it, the soldiers still regard it as exercising. After all, in a tribe without any entertainment measures, if you want life to be less boring, you have to find something to do by yourself to enrich yourself.
But what is certain is that on the dangerous Snow Star, these defensive measures will definitely come in handy. It is only a matter of time, especially in winter.
Once you are attacked by a beast tide, these defensive measures will become a life-saving tool, and there is no shortage of them.
Therefore, the soldiers also knew that they must create as many powerful traps and offensive weapons as possible during the summer in order to protect themselves and their tribesmen's lives to the greatest extent when danger comes.
This kind of thing does not need to be urged. The soldiers themselves are very aware.
After seeing Ye Qiong coming, they all stopped what they were doing and greeted Ye Qiong. Ye Qiong did not get off his back, but waved to a few people and asked them to continue their work.
Riding Daidai directly to the entrance of the cave, Ye Qiong turned over and jumped off Daidai's back, and walked directly into the cave.
The five-meter-high stone wall at the entrance was pulled out because the cave was sealed inside. After the inside was sealed, there was no need to continue building the stone wall at the entrance.
Ye Qiong finally stopped when he reached the giant stone wall that sealed it.
It seems that those eyeless monsters have no plans to come out anytime soon.
The cave has been quiet for a long time.
After coming out of the cave, Ye Qiong looked at the fortress and soldiers here. If the eyeless monster breaks out from here one day, this will be the first line of defense to protect the coal mine base and the tribe.
After the tribe's population base increases, more soldiers will still have to be arranged to garrison here.
After bidding farewell to the soldiers in the cave, Ye Qiong rode on Daidu directly to the coal mine base.
The coal collected during this period was piled under more than a dozen wooden sheds that could provide shelter from wind and rain. Each wooden shed covered an area as large as a basketball court and was about three and a half meters high. It still looked a bit marvellous.
The amount of coal used in the summer is very small. For the current Ye Qiong tribe, the role of coal is still at the level of burning fires for cooking.
But Ye Qiong will not slow down the coal mining speed. After all, with the development of the tribe, the demand for coal will only increase.
Even if oil and natural gas resources are discovered one day, coal will still have an irreplaceable status.
This non-renewable resource belongs to industrial food.
Almost all types of heavy industry require coal to provide basic thermal energy, and then convert the thermal energy into various energies.
The soldiers here don't need to change their schedule. They can just go down the mine to mine coal during the day.
However, as the digging gets deeper and deeper, Ye Qiong has realized that some protective measures must be taken now. Otherwise, if a landslide occurs, it will be in trouble. With the current rescue level, if the soldiers are buried under Underground, it is difficult to rescue.
To nip problems in the bud, Ye Qiong's main purpose for coming to the coal base this time was this.
Most of the people responsible for mining coal here are second-line soldiers. There are thirty-five in total. Seven of them are front-line soldiers. They are responsible for daily security and some defenses and do not participate in coal collection.
Their mission is to protect the soldiers from being harassed by monsters or scavengers.
On the sentry tower, the soldiers on duty saw Ye Qiong riding on Dudu's back from a distance.
After Ye Qiong arrived, several soldiers walked towards him. After briefly exchanging a few words with Ye Qiong, they walked towards the coal mining location with Ye Qiong.
The current mining of coal mines is very primitive. The soldiers directly dug a large pit with a diameter of ten meters in one location.
The depth of the pit is about seven meters. After jumping in, you can see that four mines have been mined on all sides.
Then continue extending inward.
Within the four mines, there are the soldiers responsible for collecting them. They will break all the lumps of coal into pieces and put them in baskets, allowing other soldiers to move to the big pit in the middle.
Then the soldiers above directly lifted it up with ropes.
Although the efficiency is not very high, it cannot sustain the soldiers collecting day and night, so the amount of coal collected is still very good.
Ye Qiong jumped down directly from above.
Standing in front of four potholes.
For now, there will be no problems with this big pit. A wooden shed has been built above it, so there is no need to worry about rainy days.
The terrain is not low either, and with the protection of the soldiers, it will not be flooded during heavy rain.
Ye Qiong looked at the four mines one by one. They were now dug very deep.
Each mine is about two meters in diameter and has no protective measures...
In addition, the depth of each mine is more than fifty meters, and the deeper you go in, the bigger it becomes.
As coal continues to be mined, the space inside will be gradually hollowed out, and then larger gaps will be created.
The land above will lose its support.
Ye Qiong walked into a mine and saw soldiers digging coal. The dark space gave people a very depressing feeling.
There is no way to protect the location where mining is being carried out. After all, we have to continue digging. However, where a tunnel has been dug, it is necessary to take protective measures.
Ye Qiong was a little glad that he had come at this time. According to the current mining speed, if protective measures were not taken, it is estimated that a mining disaster would happen soon.
After all the soldiers working inside were evacuated, Ye Qiong gave everyone a collection course. Ye Qiong had to let the soldiers master many emergency first aid measures underground.
In addition, regarding the protective measures for the passage, Ye Qiong issued a fatal order to stop work for a week. This week would be used to reinforce the passage and the hollowed-out areas.
Another very important point is to establish a first aid base every fifty meters, which stores enough supplies and food for ten soldiers for a month.
Ye Qiong has been at the coal mine base for the whole day. Many details still need to be perfected. Ye Qiong is well aware of the importance of coal and the dangers of mining...
