The autumn wind is bleak...
The early autumn has arrived at the Ruishui Base.
When soldiers and tribesmen travel at night, they need to wear animal skin coats before going out, which heralds the arrival of autumn.
This time is a period of falling temperatures, but the arrival of autumn cannot be seen on the surface.
The earth is still green and full of vitality.
The temperature will drop from nearly 30 degrees to below zero in about a month.
In other words, from the day when summer ends until the first snowfall in winter, the temperature drops every day by an average of one degree!
The vast green land will gradually disappear when the heavy snow falls.
It is precisely because the heavy snow has buried a lot of green vegetation that some herbivorous beasts do not have to worry about food in the early stages of winter.
This year's rubble base has expanded a lot in scale after a summer of development.
The appearance of the Bagua Array is still very spectacular when viewed from the air.
In addition to the rock pile base next to the canyon, the small peak base in the east also has a certain size. The size of the small peak base alone can now easily accommodate two to three hundred people.
The high-slope temporary base in the basin now also houses houses made of solid wood.
A team of about 300 people has gathered at the Ruishui base!
The warriors Ronling brought from the central tribe had already gathered together.
When we came here, there were five hundred people!
When we returned, there were only 300 people left!
As for the remaining two hundred people...
No more!
This year's plan for the Ruishui base is to garrison it!
In the past few days, the Ruishui base and the central tribe have maintained contact once in the morning and evening.
Due to the increase in the scale of the Gale Golden Eagle Knights at the Waterfall Base, the number of flying knights who can travel between the Rock Pile Base and the central tribe has now reached ten!
It’s completely possible to form a flying team!
With the guarantee of communication and the assistance of the Behemoth Base, Ye Qiong's idea is to garrison at the Ruishui Base this year!
The central tribe sent a reply that night, expressing support!
So the 500 knights that Ronngling brought over this time were directly left by Ye Qiong to form a team of 200 people.
This scale can already crush any small tribe of thousands of people.
Two hundred carefully selected front-line warriors are still very powerful in combat.
In addition to the two hundred front-line soldiers, there are also some tribesmen in the stone pile base who voluntarily stayed.
The current rock pile base has very good defense.
The giant crossbows brought from the canyon base at the beginning of summer were all left at the rock pile base.
In addition to the warriors, Ye Qiong's current plan also includes the Gale Golden Eagle!
In winter, if all the Gale Golden Eagles stay at the waterfall base, it will be very difficult for the warriors at the waterfall base.
Although the sense of security is overwhelming, when it comes to food, the pressure is very high!
The size of an adult Gale Golden Eagle is at the guard level!
Although they often enter a state of semi-hibernation in winter and sleep for a long time, they still cannot sustain their food intake for each meal, which is calculated in tons.
Dozens of Gale Golden Eagles together can eat dozens of tons in one meal.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is enough to support a small tribe of hundreds of people for several months or even longer in winter!
Therefore, spreading out the Gale Golden Eagles in winter will have a very good effect on alleviating the food pressure at the waterfall base.
There are guard-level flying monsters stationed at the base of the rubble pile, plus two hundred front-line warriors from the tribe to guard it, as well as heavy-duty weapons such as giant crossbows.
The current defense of the rock pile base is fully capable of resisting a beast tide of less than 1,000 people in winter!
A king beast leads several guard-level monsters, plus those high-level monsters and low-level monsters.
What they need to face are three to five guard-level flying monsters, various traps around the rock pile base, giant crossbows that can threaten king-level monsters, and...
Two hundred frontline warriors of the tribe!
A defense of this scale can completely garrison the rock piles in winter.
In addition to the rock pile base, the small peak base on the east side has become a winter patrol base, providing temporary resting places and food supplies for the soldiers.
Therefore, a lot of supplies and food were left in Xiaofeng Base.
The sacrifices of more than a dozen soldiers made Ye Qiong aware of the dangers of cave exploration.
This number may not be a big deal to the tribe, but Ye Qiong is already deeply aware of the danger involved.
But the tribal ruins in the large cave on the cliff of the basin are also places that must be explored.
Ye Qiong must find a countermeasure!
There is no rush in terms of time, but we must start planning this matter.
The central tribe must work hard to develop underground lighting equipment.
If we want to completely solve this problem, we must get rid of the electricity.
Electricity was not invented; it is already there, even everywhere.
What is difficult is capturing and then storing it.
Lightning, static electricity, and electricity from chemical reactions are all common.
What happened in the big hole this time made Ye Qiong determined to get the electricity out.
Even if you don’t have time for this thing, there are many idle people in the tribe. In winter, you can mobilize the tribesmen and try it on a large scale.
A normal generator is much more difficult to make than a steam engine.
In the central tribe, steam engines already exist and are being gradually upgraded.
Getting a generator can also further improve the technological level of the central tribe.
If you want to build a generator in the central tribe, the material problem must be solved first, and you must use the minimum raw materials.
Ye Qiong only needs to get the simplest one. Once he has the principle, there will always be smart guys in the tribe to upgrade it!
Of all things, going from zero to one is the most difficult, and above one, the speed cannot be measured.
The first raw material to be solved is...
copper!
"Set off!"
On the southwest defense line of the Ruishuidui base, following an order from Ronling, three hundred soldiers and tribesmen who wanted to return to the central tribe began to officially set out on the road.
It also means that this summer’s travel mission is over!
As for the long-distance marching team that came ahead, they were almost back when they were escorting supplies and food.
Ronngling brought over 500 front-line warriors, and naturally there was no need for them to defend the Ruishuidui base.
Although the number of the entire team is only more than 300, with the support of wooden carts and snowy demon wolves, the size of the team is still visually large.
especially……
There are three finalists behind the team!
