Primitives are stunned

Chapter 561 The monkey group attracted by sweet fruit

Because the construction of Hwaseong is the top priority, Wang Hao has to check the progress every few days.

Although the working hours of bricklayers have increased, what surprised Wang Hao is that their work efficiency has not improved much.

Feeling curious, Wang Hao made a special inspection and found that it was not because the clansmen were lazy, but because the supply of bricks, cement and black iron and wood strips could not keep up.

Of course, this does not mean that Hwaseong has insufficient raw materials.

After a winter of storage, raw materials from all directions in Hwaseong were transported to Hwaseong. The cement was placed in the Tibetan Army Pavilion reserved in the city wall, while the bricks and black iron and wood strips were placed in the open air.

The main reason for the shortage of raw materials is that the city wall is getting higher and higher, but the stairs up the city wall can only walk four people side by side.

In this way, bricks also need to be transported to the top of the city wall, and cement must also be transported to the top, which leads to stagnation in the transportation of raw materials.

This situation does not mean that a large number of savages can solve it.After all, there are only so many stair passages reserved, and there are too many of them to use them.

Of course, after the incident was discovered, Wang Hao also tried to let the savages use ropes and bamboo baskets to pull up the raw materials for building the city from the edge of the city wall, but two savages fell from the edge of the city wall and died in one morning, and the efficiency was not good. When he didn't improve much, Wang Hao gave up this method.

Later, Wang Hao also thought about using a hook lock, that is, using a strong rope to connect diagonally from the top of the city wall to the bottom.

There is a hook and loop under the rope, and it is fastened on both sides.

After installing the bricks with things like big bamboo baskets below, a dozen savages pulled the hooks and loops with ropes, and then hooked the bamboo baskets with the hooks and loops, and were pulled up along the ropes.

But in this way, the shortcomings are also obvious.

Because the hook lock is okay at the bottom, but it is very difficult to fix it on the city wall.

If it is not fixed to death, it is difficult to bear the huge weight, but if it is to be fixed to death, it will take two days for the cement to solidify the black iron wood column.

And because the city wall of Hwaseong is constantly increasing, this kind of hook lock basically has to be moved to a position in two weeks, which will greatly delay the time.

In the end, Wang Hao had no choice but to find a solution in the system.

Not to mention, after a careful search, Wang Hao really found a solution.

From the system space, Wang Hao found a wooden crane.

The circular winch at the bottom has a diameter of 30 meters, the lifting height has reached 40 meters, and the maximum weight has reached three tons.

Such a huge winch, even in the wilderness, requires 60 people to win it.

For power conversion, it is more than half lower than the winch with iron pulleys.

Fortunately, Wang Hao has no shortage of savages for coolies, let alone 60, as long as the work efficiency can be improved, he can afford even 600.

Of course, even if an ordinary wooden winch crane can lift something weighing three tons, it is impossible to lift it to a height of 40 meters.

The reason why the function can reach such an astonishing level is mainly because the materials of the black iron wood and the spider silk rope are very good, and they have been raised to this height after systematic testing.

After this matter was resolved, the spring plowing in Hwaseong had completely started.

Although it is already mid-March and the wilderness is still a bit cold, the cultivation of sweet potato seedlings needs to be carried out one or two months in advance.

The sudden increase in population has put a lot of pressure on Hwaseong's food.

Although this pressure has been resolved, in order to face a possible crisis, Hwaseong decided to accumulate food.

This year's tone Wang Hao has already been set.

Because the growth cycle of sweet potatoes is fast, if it is more compact, according to the fertility of the wild land, it is still very easy to have two seasons a year.

Therefore, the staple food of the tribe this year will be sweet potatoes mixed with salted fish.

As for wheat and corn, foods that can be stored for a long time, they will be stored for emergencies.

As for the fish, the big river will naturally bring it over after the sweet fruits are harvested.

The sweet fruit trees that were transplanted outside Hwaseong last year are finally harvesting this year.

The ten-mile-long sweet fruit forest is nothing compared to the population of 20 in Hwaseong.

But in winter, the whole world is covered with ice and snow, but this sweet fruit forest blooms gorgeous pink flowers. That kind of scene is really pleasing to the eye.

The sweet fruit tree is a peculiar plant. They bloom in winter, and then wither and bear fruit. When the fruit matures in spring, it brings a delicious taste at the beginning of the year to the Great Wilderness.

Wang Hao believes that when Hwaseong is prosperous and stable ten or twenty years later, this ten-mile-long sweet fruit forest will become the most gorgeous scenery in the entire Hwaseong in winter.

In an environment rich in natural products like the Great Wilderness, the main reason why the human race would starve was that there were too many wild animals.

There are no sharp swords, only ordinary wooden sticks and stone axes. Under the limitation of the number of people, it is surprising that the human race cannot be united and not be bullied.

When the sweet fruit is ripe, dense groups of monkeys appear on the edge of the black forest.

Because of the construction of Huacheng, the black forest near Huacheng, except for those super giant trees with a diameter of seven or eight meters, the rest of the small trees have been cut down, and the edge of the entire forest has shrunk by nearly a thousand meters.

Now, those monkey groups attracted by the sweet fruit directly occupy all the trees near the sweet fruit forest.

One day before, the monkey group tried to charge the sweet fruit forest.

However, after being scared off by a few black crystal bombs, they did not retreat back to the Black Forest, and confronted the Black Armored Army at the edge of the forest.

After the monkey group was shot down with hundreds of corpses by bows and arrows, they also knew how powerful the Black Armored Army was, and they no longer dared to get too close to the Black Armored Army.

If the Heijia army entered the forest, no matter where the Heijia army entered from, the monkeys in that area would retreat.

After the black armor army left, the monkey group would come back again.

These monkey groups are different from last year's wild boars.

Although the destructive ability of a single wild boar far surpasses these clawed monkeys, they live on land. Once they are discovered by the black armor army, with the help of the giant clawed dragon, they have no place to run.

Hwaseong's reinforced bow combined with a huge metal arrow can pierce their hearts with just one arrow.

But these monkeys were different.

Not only are they huge in number, but they also know how to use roundabout tactics.

When the black armor army came, they ran away, and when the black armor army left, they came again.It's impossible to let the black armor army live in the black forest all the time, after all, the black armor still needs to take off the black armor to eat and shit.

In this way, between coming and going, the color of the sweet fruit is getting deeper and deeper.

It seems that this boundless group of monkeys, which may number in the tens of thousands, is obviously going to consume Hwaseong.

It is impossible to send a large number of people into the Black Forest to disperse them.

Because under the absolute superiority in numbers, these monkey groups can climb trees and attack from all directions.

Wang Hao once saw with his own eyes that a group of monkeys tore a passing wild boar to pieces in just a dozen seconds.

If there is no protection of the black armor, sending the clansmen rashly into the forest to sweep, it will definitely cause huge casualties.

As the date of ripening of the sweet fruit draws closer, the cries of the monkeys become more and more shrill every night.

Whether it is Wang Hao or the monkey group, they all understand that when the sweet fruit is fully ripe, it is time for Huacheng and the monkey group to have a decisive battle.
