Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 180 Results of the first half of the year
In half a year, the military strength of the Longchao Tribe has improved by leaps and bounds, and the civil affairs aspect has not fallen much.

First of all, due to the successful refining of bronze, various copper axes, copper hoes, copper knives, etc. have also been refined one after another. With qualified metal tools, the orcs completely abandoned the simple and fragile tools such as stone axes in the past .

With the help of metal tools, the efficiency of the orcs' land reclamation and farming has been greatly improved.

It may take more than half an hour to cut a tree in the past, but now an ordinary orc holding a bronze axe can cut it down in less than 10 minutes, and the tough and wear-resistant bronze tools do not need to be used as before. He used the stone tools with such care that he was afraid that the tools would be damaged and the construction period would be delayed.

As a result of the substantial improvement in the efficiency of land reclamation and farming, as the first half of the year passed, the land reclamation of the entire Longchao tribe had exceeded [-] mu.

A large amount of field cultivation brought a large amount of output, coupled with the migration of a large number of herds during this period, the Dragon Nest orcs often went out to hunt, and at the same time went out to clean up the giant beasts, and harvested a lot of meat, so that the entire Dragon Nest tribe now In the warehouse, the food collection is full, even if the entire Dragon Nest tribe does not do anything, it is enough to support the consumption of the entire Dragon Nest tribe for half a year.

However, the reclamation of large-scale fields also brought a lot of troubles in management. Some reclaimed land is far away from the Dragon Nest station. So they took local materials and built one or two simple wooden houses beside the field for rest in the middle of normal work.

In addition to reclaiming wasteland, other internal affairs have also been greatly developed.

First of all, in terms of animal husbandry, the original animal husbandry has also been greatly prosperous.

In the first month after the end of the cold winter, due to the sharp increase in the tribe's population, the food stored during this period was basically exhausted, and other food crops such as kudzu vines planted in the fields at that time could not be harvested in a short time, so the whole Long The hive tribe encountered a period of food shortage.

Fortunately, at that time, due to the hot weather, everything recovered, and they were raised in livestock pens. During the cold winter, the wild boars and hares that hibernated and curled up got fat quickly after getting a lot of food, which provided a major contribution to the food source of the entire Dragon Nest tribe. , coupled with the revival of the forest at that time, a large number of wild beasts went out, and the orc army hunted wild beasts and giant beasts intensively, so they passed the blank period of that month and supported the harvest time of the first season of kudzu vines planted.

The importance of raising wild boars and hares is also revealed from this. At the same time, the herds of beasts migrated from far away. When the Dragon Nest orcs went out to hunt, they not only killed the adult beasts, but also brought the cubs of the beasts back to the tribe. Housing was performed in pens.

With the addition of a large number of cubs, coupled with the growth and reproduction of the domesticated livestock in the livestock pen, the scale of animal husbandry has been expanded in a large scale. When the migration of herds stops in the future, the scale of animal husbandry will also be enough to provide enough for the tribe. meat.

At the same time, in addition to the domestication of meat animals such as wild boars and rabbits, the scale of previously domesticated bison has also been increased.

The group of hundreds of bison that joined at the beginning has now been completely tamed by the tauren, and due to the work of opening up wasteland, with the bronze plow, the speed of various agricultural work has also been greatly improved.

In addition, the domesticated bison played a very important role in the transportation work of the Dragon Nest Tribe.

There are naturally no smooth roads in places like the Kawa Forest. The copper mine stronghold is not close to the Dragon Nest Tribe, and the distance between them is about ten or twenty kilometers away.

When refining copper in the copper mine base, charcoal and other resources can be obtained locally, but the food needs to be transported from the Dragon Nest base to the copper mine base, and various copper objects that are refined, such as tools and armor , weapons and other things need to be transported back to the Longchao tribe's resident.

There are thousands of orcs in the entire copper mine base to refine bronze. The amount of food and other consumables is very large, and the bronze itself is heavy. Large quantities of bronze utensils have to be transported for more than ten to twenty kilometers. If it's just pure manpower, it's just the daily food and bronze transportation. I don't know how much manpower it will cost, but now with domesticated bison, it's different.

The bison itself is an animal with extremely strong endurance and physical strength. The transportation by bison greatly reduces the burden on the dragon's nest orcs, allowing a large number of dragon's nest orcs to be liberated from this heavy handling work.

Austin also saw the good transportation ability of the bison. For this reason, he once made a plan to go out to the forest to open up strongholds and carry out production activities. bottom of the box.

However, this does not mean that the work of domesticating bison has come to a standstill, because variables such as mutated evil spirits and zombies have appeared one after another, Austin has already planned to prepare a retreat, and during the relocation process, those domesticated bison are naturally the main force of transportation.

Therefore, during this period of time, the resources of the Dragon Nest tribe gave a certain amount of emphasis to the domestication of bison.

The domestication of wild boars, rabbits, bison and other wild animals has achieved certain results, and before that, the Dragon Nest orcs have also begun to domesticate their catches in January, just after the cold winter.

After three months of preparations in the cold winter, the dragon nest orcs produced a large number of kudzu ropes, and weaved these kudzu ropes into net cages, and put them in lakes and reservoirs, and then caught fish and concentrated them. breeding.

Fish farming is still in the exploratory stage, and those fish that are suitable for intensive farming still need to be constantly explored and tried. In addition, fish farming in net cages was relatively mature in Austin's previous life, but he only knew the concept after all, and he didn't know much about detailed information. I don't know, many of the tricks still need to be tested continuously, and it is difficult to see satisfactory results for the time being.

However, if the cage fish farming project is successful, then the kudzu vines produced in the field will also have a large recycling consumption method, and once the breeding is successful, a large amount of fish resources will be obtained, opening up a new food source. .

Judging from the current situation, it took half a year to fish and breed, and it has achieved certain results. At least part of the fish food can be regularly provided to the Dragon Nest Tribe every month.

As long as the farming methods and fish species continue to be improved, cage fish farming will definitely become another important source of food for the Longchao tribe.
