During the last five months of winter on the Snow Star, for many tribes, nightmares are about to begin.
Tribes with abundant supplies and food have also begun to look forward to the arrival of spring.
At the same time, you can also make some plans for after spring.
A day's plan begins in the morning, and a year's plan begins in spring. Only tribes with a plan can better collect supplies and hunt monsters in the summer.
Compared to tribes that migrate based on their mood on the snowy star, tribes with a plan will have no big problem as long as they are not too unlucky and can collect enough supplies and food to survive the winter.
Ye Qiong is now also planning the development of the tribe after the beginning of spring.
Judging from the current development of the tribe, Ye Qiong can officially start a project after spring begins.
That is a large steam vehicle, mainly used for transportation.
Although the supplies and food of Ye Qiong tribe are now very abundant.
But after next spring, we will have to face a very cruel and realistic problem.
That’s supplies and food!
Now the population base of Ye Qiong tribe has reached nearly 7,000 people!
Normally speaking, the supplies and food within a radius of dozens of kilometers, based on previous years' experience, can only feed a small tribe of a few hundred people.
even……
Raising a small tribe of several hundred people is a bit overwhelming.
This is also the reason why small tribes migrate every year. There is no way, the long winter requires human tribes to store a lot of supplies and food.
Therefore, we have to collect and hunt crazily in the summer. The resources within tens of kilometers can be used by a tribe of several hundred people without much problem in the summer.
But the long eighteen months of winter are difficult.
The Ye Qiong tribe has now grown to a size of 7,000 people.
Relatively speaking, the materials and food around the central tribe on the other side of the stone city wall fall into a normal category, neither rich nor scarce.
To feed such a large population, we have to travel far!
It’s a lot harder than last summer.
Before the problem of supplies and food is completely solved, if the Ye Qiong tribe wants so many tribesmen to collect supplies and hunt enough magical beasts in the summer, they must travel far. Although several sub-bases can share the burden A lot of pressure, but it’s just about sharing some pressure...
It cannot solve the long-term food problem of the central tribe in winter.
Therefore, Ye Qiong must now carefully plan the vehicle for the team's long journey next year.
He had thought about and planned to lay railway tracks between several bases, but after several calculations, Ye Qiong found that the manpower and material resources needed to be consumed were too great. Judging from the current scale, Black Iron Sand was enough. Yes, but human resources are still seriously insufficient, and laying railroad tracks is too difficult.
So relatively speaking, it is relatively simple to get a steam engine vehicle.
Now that there are carriages in the tribe, Ye Qiong's current idea is to get some large carriages.
Then get the steam engine up...
Coal is plentiful, and Ye Qiong's knowledge of machinery is enough to make the carriage move.
With sufficient power, you can save a lot of manpower when traveling far in the summer.
If a giant crossbow is installed on these horse-drawn carriages, it will become a mobile cannon. If the defense is well done, it will become a mobile fortress!
Even if it does not use a steam engine as the power base and is driven by human power, this large-scale vehicle fortress still has a certain significance.
The snow planet is different from the earth. In ancient wars, there were no giant beasts, so the battlefields of the Cold Weapon Age did not require large tanks.
But the behemoths on the snow star, the small chariots, have no meaning to them.
Therefore, it must be made into a large tank!
It could even be a large cylinder, a wooden structure for defense, with stairs inside that warriors could climb up to attack the outside world.
If I had to use something to describe it vividly, it would be the arrow tower at the wooden house base on the Dinglong Mountains!
Ye Qiong's current idea is to remove the top of the large arrow tower, retain the cylindrical area below, and then make it move!
The current research direction is steam engines!
Not a steam engine! Then Behemoth!
You can just let Daidai and Dajun push them around inside. With this kind of mobile arrow tower, it is very intimidating whether you are facing a tide of beasts or a crowd of madmen, or fighting with other tribes!
If this thing was placed in the cold weapon age on earth, it would be extremely powerful. The only drawback is the power. If it really relies on human power to push and pull, it would actually be meaningless.
But now it's different for the Ye Qiong tribe. Ye Qiong's brain has enough mechanical knowledge reserves. These knowledge reserves are definitely advanced, so they are fully capable of making steam engines.
It would be really difficult for Ye Qiong to make an atomic bomb or something, but for an all-powerful special warrior, knowledge in the world, in the sea and in the clouds is necessary, even if he cannot reach the level of an expert or professor. level, but definitely not weak.
What's more, Ye Qiong is an extremely self-disciplined person and likes to learn...
Whether it was on earth in the last life or now, Ye Qiong was enjoying his self-discipline. There was no doubt that there were too many things about such a special warrior.
In itself, Ye Qiong was able to come to Snow Star, somehow...
perhaps……
It's not a coincidence!
In the central tribe, the simplest steam engine model has been made. It is only a matter of time before it is upgraded and installed on a large arrow tower vehicle.
It is completely conceivable that when the Ye Qiong tribe creates this kind of arrow tower vehicle and can provide it with enough power, it will bring about a qualitative change in the future development of the tribe.
Driving a dozen or even dozens of these giant arrow tower vehicles, Ye Qiong is completely confident that he can directly defeat the Red Flame Leopard tribe...
The plan has been finalized, and Ye Qiong has now decided. When spring begins, construction can begin immediately.
In winter, this giant arrow tower vehicle was erected next to the stone city wall for defense.
In summer, you can directly drive out the giant arrow tower vehicle and use it to transport supplies and food, as well as fight!
If you encounter a storm or something in the wild, you can just camp on the spot and let the soldiers hide in it.
Timber, black iron sand, coal.
If these three resources are sufficient, giant arrow tower vehicles can be built infinitely...
