The big ship has been built, and it looks like we can cross the river and head straight to the Nanman mountains on the other side.

However, Zhao Hao was not in a hurry to set off. After all, the Southern Barbarian Mountains were a dangerous place in legends. Even if most members of the Xue Man tribe did not dare to enter rashly, the wealth of his Haotian tribe would definitely not be able to give Xue Man to others.

The barbarian tribes compete with each other, so be especially careful.

In addition, just because the big ship is built does not mean that they can set off immediately. There are still many things to prepare.

For example, when it comes to building bricks for a fortress, he doesn't dare to bring people there and slowly bake the bricks. In that case, if someone close to the mythical beast or even a real mythical beast suddenly comes over to deal with them, it will be troublesome.

This kind of thing is very likely to happen, because beasts have a strong sense of territory. The existence of close to mythical beasts and the real mythical beasts are also beasts. No matter whether humans or any other beasts enter their territory, they cannot ignore it.

Do not ask.

To be on the safe side, Zhao Hao decided to prepare all the bricks needed to build the fortress and directly pull them over with a large ship.

In addition, the personnel stationed at the fort must also be prepared in advance.

Since it was already approaching winter, each camp needed to build sheep pens, cowsheds and stables, as well as prepare fodder for the winter. The personnel were relatively tight, and Zhao Hao could not let the Garuda camp put down all its efforts.

Help him cross the river and build a fortress to garrison him, so that the Garuda camp may not be able to survive this winter.

After thinking for a while, he decided to issue a recruitment order, asking each of the other seven battalions to dispatch fifty elites to help out.

At the same time, he also had to solve the problem of docking the big ship, because this time he was crossing a river, and he had to transport a lot of supplies across the river. If the big ship didn't have a place to dock, the supplies wouldn't be able to get on board.

Wherever a large ship can dock, it is naturally a dock.

Building a dock was a troublesome thing in later generations, because the dock must be piled. Without ground piles that go deep into the water, it would be impossible for the dock to stand safely on the water.

However, at this time, pile driving is a relatively simple task for Zhao Hao, because he is very strong!

For ordinary people to knock a tree stump firmly into the mud and sand at the bottom of the water, it would be quite laborious, but this kind of thing is not that troublesome for him. Basically, he only needs to hold a tree stump and push hard into the sand.

Once it is inserted, it can be inserted at least one or two meters, and then use a special sledgehammer to hit it hard a few times, and the tree stump will be stable.

When he first built the cofferdam, he didn't have a suitable tool like a big hammer. It wasn't very laborious. Now, big hammers can be easily made. Driving ground piles is naturally quite simple for him.

things.

In less than a day, he drove two rows of ground piles by the lake. With the help of dozens of carpenters from the Garuda Camp, the dock by the lake was built the next day.

Immediately afterwards, he prepared a batch of ground piles, used a large boat to pull them to the west side of the river, found a suitable location, and built another pier.

It took less than five days in total to build these two docks. The speed was quite astonishing. At this time, the elites of each battalion were still rushing here, and the Garuda Camp had not yet completed the construction.

All the bricks needed for the fort are ready.

Zhao Hao calculated the time and felt that it would take at least half a month to get everything ready, and during this half month, he was not idle. Since he had time, he would build ships. The more ships, the faster the transportation speed.

The more people and materials are transported across the river each time, the more trouble will be saved, and the risk will be relatively reduced.

If you can do this kind of thing, you should naturally do it.

Ever since, he started collecting wood to build ships again.

However, this time, he did not do all the work alone.

In fact, when it comes to the process of building a ship, it is more troublesome to turn logs into wooden boards, because he hasn't had time to make a saw yet, so he can only use the power of the magic weapon to chop it hard.

As for other things, it is relatively simple. Most carpenters can basically do it. Especially these carpenters from Garuda camp have witnessed his first boat building process. They are still competent at connecting the hull and boiling glue and caulking.

It is said that there is strength in numbers. If everyone works together, the efficiency of shipbuilding will be high. If he were alone, it would take at least ten days to build a ship. With dozens of carpenters helping, this time was directly shortened to five days.

!

This efficiency, even in later generations, would be quite exaggerated. However, because of the existence of his humanoid processing center, this efficiency is not too exaggerated.

Zhao Hao had been busy with the people of the Garuda camp for half a month, and elites from the other seven camps also arrived one after another.

At this time, they already owned four large ships, and the wood needed to build the dock and the bricks needed to build the fortress were also prepared. Zhao Hao organized a day of training for the elites of each battalion, so that they all basically mastered the skills of operating a ship.

Immediately afterwards, preparations for crossing the river began.

Early that morning, Haotian's four large ships docked at both sides of the pier on the west bank of the river. Teams of elites carried the wood for building the pier and boarded the ship one after another. Everything was ready. Zhao Hao looked solemn.

He looked at the other side, then waved his hand and shouted firmly: "Let's go!"

"Haha, haha, haha." A burst of neat shouts rang out, and the four big boats, rowed with all their strength by eighty young men, lined up in a neat queue and headed straight for the other side.

To be honest, Zhao Hao was still a little nervous at this time, because he only heard a few words from the leader of the Nanjiang Tribe Wu Wu about the situation in the Nanman Mountains. He really didn't know how dangerous the other side was.

.

The distance of a thousand meters only takes a few minutes for the large ships moving at full speed. Soon, the four large ships were approaching the east bank of the river.

At this time, Zhao Hao finally saw the true appearance of the Nanman mountains.

The mountains of Nanman are indeed different from ordinary wild jungles. Not only are they densely covered with high mountains, but the vegetation among the mountains and ridges is also quite lush. The overall feeling is that it is full of vitality. At first glance, it is not obvious at all.

What's the danger?

Of course, Zhao Hao would not be careless about this. After roughly taking a look at the terrain here, he looked back at the location of the dock on the other side, then pointed his hand to the south and shouted: "Go and look for it in the tributary over there.

Place to land."

When a big boat crosses a river, it will naturally be pushed by the current, and the flow of this big river is from south to north. In other words, at this time, they have actually been pushed several hundred meters north by the current, so he will let the four

A large ship went upstream to find a place to land on a tributary slightly south of the pier on the other side.

The speed of the four large ships going upstream could not be increased. However, Zhao Hao was not in a hurry. He was holding the bow and arrow tightly and scanning everything on the shore attentively. If the strange beasts in the southern barbarian mountains were also close to the existence of the divine beasts,

Like ordinary beasts in the wild jungle, they can be seen everywhere. He must consider whether to let the elite of the Eighth Battalion land ashore now.

After all, it is quite dangerous for the elite of the Eighth Battalion to face a large number of strange beasts, and he cannot guarantee the safety of everyone.

Fortunately, the road was relatively calm, and there were no strange beasts or beings close to the beasts that suddenly appeared. Until they entered the tributary and found a relatively flat grassland, there was still no movement on the shore.

It seemed that the Southern Barbarian mountains were not as scary as he imagined, and it would not be a big problem to bring the elite of the tribe ashore.

At this time, the most important thing was to build a dock so that the elite of the Eighth Battalion could gain a foothold on the river bank and build a fortress.

Zhao Hao carefully observed the situation on the shore, then jumped up without hesitation and landed on the flat grass with a "boom".

This time, he finally reached the east coast and arrived at the Nanman Mountains. Will he encounter any danger next?
