Chapter 1437 The hot summer is over and the autumn harvest is coming!
Buzz.
The stone bell in the center of the platform on the first floor of Tianzhai was rung, indicating the official start of a new day.
The small size of the Boulder Territory is also an advantage.
The new survivors who joined last night have quickly integrated in, and have been assigned some responsibilities and a job that allows them to get two meals.
"So many people have joined at once. Fortunately, we have saved a lot of fresh water in the past few days. We can barely sustain it for another two or three days until we can open up the road to fetch water."
In the stone house with the lord's sign, a middle-aged man wearing simple linen clothes pushed up his glasses and spoke clearly.
The man’s name is ‘Lu Ding’.
On earth, he is an accountant of a large company, proficient in account management, and also proficient in the ways of the world.
Lao Zhang promoted Lu Ding to become the material manager of the Great Stone Territory. Facts have proved that this choice was correct.
Although the number of people in the territory has now increased to nearly a thousand, Lu Ding is still able to handle the entry and exit of every material in an orderly manner.
"Food is not in short supply at the moment. In addition to what Mr. Ji brought to trade, according to our current planned consumption, we can last at least forty days until the autumn harvest comes."
"But this must be based on the fact that we will not expand the scale in the future. If there are hundreds of people like yesterday, these supplies may only be enough for a week or two, and we must continue to seek transactions with outsiders."
"As the population increases in construction and development, more stone houses must be built, and some public facilities are also needed to provide services. Our current plan is to build the roads up and down the mountain first, so that there will be less communication with the outside world.
There are a lot of troubles. Then there is the problem of residential buildings. The current stone houses are a bit crowded and some need to be expanded. These arrangements may be a bit crowded in Tianzhai."
"Why is it so troublesome?"
Lu Ding kept talking, and before he got to the point, Lao Zhang interrupted him with a headache.
Is the lord of Hoshino Territory as troublesome as him?
Every day it's either something difficult to handle, something else isn't available, or something else is urgently needed.
With a flick of his sleeve, he didn't care about the life or death of the people in his territory, and lived a happy life.
"According to what you said, can't the current problems be summed up into one thing?"
"Not enough supplies?"
"If you want to say that, Lord, that's fine." Lu Ding thought for a moment and nodded.
If there are enough supplies, all difficulties will not be difficult.
As long as the surrounding trading lines are not cut off, the Boulder Territory will not encounter a development bottleneck.
But having said that, there will always be a clear upper limit on drug transactions.
The survivors' demand for medicine will continue to decrease as the route level increases.
Especially when the human body's physique is strengthened to a certain extent, many minor illnesses and disasters will never occur again.
At this time, without the supplies obtained from trading medicines, the Boulder Territory will soon decline.
The decline will not stop until population consumption is proportional to income.
"It will be easier to solve these problems if they are turned into one problem. Don't worry, I will go there later."
Lao Zhang thought for a while and relaxed.
He couldn't solve the problem raised by Lu Ding, but what if Boss Ji had a solution?
Previously, the construction of the Boulder Territory relied on the initial materials provided by Boss Ji.
The current development depends on the pharmaceutical method given by Boss Ji in the book.
so.
"Lord, Sir Ji has something to ask you. Do you want to go over now?"
"Do you think this solves the problem?"
Lao Zhang stood up happily and patted Lu Ding on the shoulder.
"Let's go, come with me."
Lu Ding pursed his lips.
I always feel weird in my heart.
The Boulder territory is completely different from other places from top to bottom, especially compared with his previous territory.
There are no cumbersome rules here, and the activities of the residents are strictly controlled for fear that someone will have breakfast.
There is no discrimination against survivors here. As long as they can work, everyone is treated equally.
Lao Zhang never hid the materials piled in the warehouse, nor did he embezzle them.
One is one, two is two.
Even now that he is being shouted around by his subordinates, Lao Zhang has no airs and is actually very happy.
What does he want to do as a lord?
Until now, Lu Ding still hasn't figured this out. Lao Zhang's behavior doesn't look like a lord at all.
The two of them went out one after the other.
The village was bustling with people at this time, and it seemed much more lively than the previous few days.
Hundreds of people crowded into the open space, receiving today's tasks according to the work schedule arranged yesterday.
The person in charge of this task is Luo You. To him, this little thing is as easy as eating and drinking.
Arriving in front of Somo's stone house, Lao Zhang was about to knock on the door when he saw Somo walking out from behind the house.
He also carried a wooden bucket in his hand.
Wow.
The white groundwater rippled back and forth in the bucket, and from time to time water splashed from the edge of the bucket and fell to the ground.
"Oh, Mr. Ji, if you want water, just arrange for someone to go there. Why do you have to fetch water yourself?"
Lao Zhang quickly stepped forward and took the bucket from Somo's hand.
Not to mention, the portion is quite heavy.
"This is the first bucket of water. You can have it boiled and tasted to see if it needs to be filtered."
"The first bucket of water?"
Lao Zhang was confused for a moment, "The water in the reservoir is clean, so there shouldn't be any need."
"I brought this up from the well, not the reservoir."
"Ah?" Lao Zhang didn't understand.
But when he saw Somo walking towards the back of the house, he didn't hesitate. He handed the bucket to Lu Ding and quickly followed Somo's footsteps.
From the well?
Why didn't he know there was a well in the village?
However, when he came to the back of the house and saw the huge wellhead and the water intake structure that exuded a metallic luster, Lao Zhang was dumbfounded!
He almost thought he was dreaming!
The height of this stone mountain is at least more than 500 meters. Both the top and the foot of the mountain are made of stone.
If you want to draw water here, you need to drill the well down to a depth of several hundred meters.
What kind of project quantity is this?
Stone Mountain is not a mountain of earth. During the drilling process, the structure may be damaged at any time, causing collapse and blockage.
If you really have this skill, it would be enough to connect a water pipe directly from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, so why bother?
Snap.
Behind Lao Zhang, there was the sound of a bucket falling to the ground. The white water splashed out of the bucket and flowed on the ground wantonly.
Looking at the mechanical water well that suddenly appeared on the ground, Lu Ding had an incredible look in his eyes, and his mouth couldn't help but open wide.
He can guarantee it.
Yesterday, no, last night!
Last night at dinner time, he came here to ask Sumo and Luo You to have dinner.
here.
There is absolutely no such well here!
"Boss Ji Ji, how did this come about?" Lao Zhang lay at the mouth of the well, glanced down, and his breathing became extremely rapid.
The shaft is bottomless, and there are only a few atomic lamps embedded in the stones on the lower walls of the shaft, which bring a gleam of cold light, allowing people to barely see the working structure of the well.
"There is water in the mountains, and this well is a reward I redeemed from the game."
Sumo's words were concise and to the point, and he directly put all the blame on the game.
There's no way to get into this kind of thing anyway, so I can't just go directly to the game and ask what's going on.
“Can I still redeem this thing?”
Lao Zhang was very puzzled. He had searched through disaster exchange stores before, but he had not seen any such facilities for redemption.
Otherwise, the development speed of each major territory will no longer be limited by technical levels.
"The world is so big and full of wonders, and what you have come into contact with is just the tip of the iceberg."
Sumo's familiar pretense quickly dispelled Lao Zhang and Lu Ding's doubts.
Especially when the mechanical water well started to operate and a bucket of white fresh water came out of it again, the two of them suddenly went crazy with excitement.
There is water in the mountains!
This not only means that risking down the mountain to fetch water has become a thing of the past, but also means that the Boulder Territory has completely gotten rid of the risk of waterlessness and has lost a fatal weakness.
In the future, even if the enemy surrounds the mountain, the territory will be able to hold on for a long time.
"I'm going to tell them not to go down the mountain and come here to get water!"
Luo Ding turned around and left, and soon a group of people ran over after him, shouting and yelling. They were all ecstatic when they saw the mechanical water well.
The Luo family, father and son, also came over. Luo You was stunned when he saw the well.
"No need to go down the mountain to get water anymore?"
"Yes."
The Giant Dragon Immortal River flows through the entire New World and has almost inexhaustible fresh water resources.
Sumo also didn't expect that a well would bring such a shock. After all, this was not an era when the wasteland had just traveled through and a mouthful of water could save a life.
"That's great. With the well, we don't have to use water according to head count." The two children were extremely happy, but they didn't find it strange. With the previous preparations, they could figure out whatever Sumo did.
explain.
The Boulder Territory is currently experiencing a shortage of water resources, and each person only has two liters of water per day.
Now that there is a well, it can be used not only for food and drink, but also for washing.
Even if you are extravagant and dig dirt from the mountains, you might be able to forcibly create some farmland in the mountains.
"In addition, besides water, I have also found an industry suitable for the development of the territory."
"By the way, come with me."
Leaving a group of people curious about the well, Sumo took Lao Zhang, Luo You, and Luo Ding to Dizhai.
Perhaps it was the surprise brought by the well and the power-drawing device that appeared in the cave.
On the contrary, a group of people quickly accepted it and no longer showed any disbelief.
Water can save lives.
electricity.
Well, judging from the current development of the Boulder Territory, it won't actually help much in the short term.
However, when they saw that the connected wires were connected to the light bulb that Sumo brought back yesterday, emitting bright and soft light, everyone still showed silly smiles.
Complete water and electricity, this is the dream of many small territories.
This is equivalent to a person who has laid a solid foundation in the compulsory education stage, and can achieve good results even if he develops step by step.
"This is just the beginning, there will be more surprises for you next."
Soma said this.
Looking at the innocent smiling faces, he suddenly felt that he had indeed missed a lot during the development of Tianyuan Territory.
It was precisely these misses that made him truly understand the origin of the special survival point until yesterday.
but.
fortunately.
It's never too late.
Summer passes and autumn comes.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed quietly since the 'Tongtianjing' was opened in the boulder territory.
As the intense heat gradually subsides, the autumn wind begins to blow quietly in the New World.
It's a pity that the temperature in the southern fire zone is still so cool and high, sometimes reaching nearly 40 degrees during the day.
Only when the autumn wind blows at night will the temperature drop to more than 20 degrees.
outward.
The arrival of the ultimate disaster did not bring many changes to the New World. Waves of death tide monsters continued to attack, and with a large amount of intelligence exchanges, the threat became increasingly reduced.
All over the place, the horn of development has been completely blown, and the situation seems to far exceed that of the deep sea at that time.
Inward.
Although the development of the Boulder Territory has not had much impact on the area around the Golden Eagle, it has expanded a lot compared to the initial stage.
From the initial obscurity, people in the surrounding territories began to know that there were several villages on these rocky mountains, with nearly 3,000 people gathered inside, and they seemed to be living a good life.
By selling medicines, Jushi's reputation gradually spread.
However, there are still very few survivors who are willing to come here to be famous, and most people scorn living in the mountains.
No need to say anything else.
The mere fact that there are no suitable terrain conditions and cannot be cultivated is enough to sentence the boulder territory to death.
It may not be obvious right now, but when the upcoming autumn harvest is over, everything will settle.
Including the ‘Tyrel Territory’ surrounding the Monolith Territory.
At first, Salvaldo, the lord of the Tyrell Territory, also coveted the pharmaceutical technology possessed by the Monolith Territory.
But after some in-depth research, and after discovering the huge and ridiculous disadvantages of the Boulder Territory, he immediately put aside all his worries.
The time of autumn harvest is when the boulders disintegrate.
This was the assertion he made in front of everyone at the territorial meeting.
Everyone is harvesting and can save enough food for at least half a year to a year, but the Boulder Territory can only watch all this happen. How many people can endure it?
As for trading medicines in exchange for supplies, Jushi Territory has only sold more than twenty times to the outside world, and the market is already approaching saturation.
Ordinary survivors simply cannot digest dozens of kilograms of medicines, and major territories will not buy them for storage.
Perhaps in another month or two, drug demand will completely reach a trough and stabilize.
However, as a person involved, there is an unusual amount of harmony within the Boulder territory.
Wave after wave of new people joined, and stone houses were built one after another.
There are no outsiders coming and going, and it is not open to the outside world. The surrounding survivors are not aware of the development of Tianzhai.
At first, Sumo was worried that the golden giant eagle would monitor the development progress of the surrounding territories, but then he discovered that perhaps the Boulder Territory was excluded from the beginning, and no one came to disturb it these days.
Including the bulk pharmaceutical business, perhaps in the eyes of Golden Eagle, it is just kids playing house.
This gives the boulder territory enough room for development.
The time he has to accumulate survival points is given.
Now, more than half a month has passed, and the special survival points have been accumulated four times.
After spending some money to upgrade, I still have a balance of nearly 7,000 points.
When selling medicines, he took the lead, leading the team to set off and accumulating item survival points three times.
This is another 8,400 points of income, which is so huge that people are both surprised and surprised.
You know, before the system was updated, this was already a purchasing power of 90,000 points!
