Chapter 205 Coincidentally, my headache suddenly improved
Akagata promised to give him an oil press as long as he improved this bed crossbow?
It is said that the thing will be used in public fields in the coming year, and there is no way to sell it for the time being, because the logs required for manufacturing are relatively large, and a lot of manpower is required. A large oil press requires ten people to operate, and a small one requires three people.
The number of carpenters in a tribe is limited, no matter which tribe it is, and production machines and food cannot be put before the horse.
Moreover, this thing is indeed difficult to make. In the eyes of many carpenters, it is as troublesome as the fan machine.
In fact, this bed crossbow is also included.
But now, the Akakata clan actually wants to take out that large production machine as a reward. The temptation to take this thing out as a reward is like giving away a large steel-making furnace for free in the early industrial era!
"Although I have been suffering from severe headaches in the past few days, strangely enough, when I first saw this bed crossbow, my headache suddenly disappeared."
"Yes, yes, I have been suffering from diarrhea for the past few days. It may have been caused by drinking unboiled lake silt water, but just now, I looked at this bed crossbow, and suddenly my stomach felt better."
"Ah? What's wrong with you all? Drink more hot water. Don't stop boiling water because it takes too long."
During the conversation between the carpenters, they clearly told the Xunshan clan that they had indeed meant to shirk the blame before, and although they were exempted from paying tribute, they could not be completely willing to do so, but now the oil press that the Akagata clan took out
, this is obviously much better than the "preferential policy" provided by your Xunshan!
Danzhu looked at Ji Chi.
You, a dignified third-in-command of the local government, are now in great disgrace.
Ji Chi also grinned, very dissatisfied at this time, and said to the carpenters: "So everyone was still not satisfied with the food exemption provided by Xunshan just now?"
"Now is a critical time. How can you work so passively? If you have any dissatisfaction, you can express it! You are also seeking personal gain for the tribe. When Sanmiao comes over and your house is ransacked, I don't think what else can you do?
Take advantage of petty gains!"
"Wooden oil press, okay? His grandma's, I want it too! Nacheng, since you are so motivated to work, who should I give this oil press to, my five carpenters in Xunshan
The master will also participate in improving the bed crossbow this time, look at you greedy guys!"
Ji Chi scolded the carpenters, and the carpenters felt aggrieved.
What, your Xunshan recruitment this time is not just as simple as making a bed crossbow. If it succeeds, will it be produced in large quantities? This is not considered a corvee, so what's the point of getting some benefits?
Boss, only with a big baby can you be motivated!
Among the carpenters, Chao An walked through the bustling crowd. He looked at this wooden machine, the rollers and the bow arm. They were obviously wooden things, but they carried an indescribable violent beauty.
Chaogishan looked at it for a while, and he was deeply fascinated by this thing.
This is what carpenters should pursue, huge power, huge power. Wood is a fragile thing, but through the hands of a carpenter, it can undergo such a transformation.
This is the hand of the craftsman, turning decay into magic and ingenuity.
Danzhu came over, took the gears and various parts given to him by Yuzai, and began to give these carpenters a one-day basic crash training.
To make a bed crossbow, the carpenter's experience should be upgraded from a junior carpenter to an intermediate carpenter.
"Please report any special materials you need, and the Xunshan clan will be responsible for transporting them for you. Jindu will be repaired soon, and materials from Dongyi and Baiyue will be sent first!"
"Let those mountains continue to speed up the construction, and if they can't do it, they will do it to death!"

Making weapons is not a very simple matter. Compared with copper and iron objects, wooden instruments had advantages in ancient times...
Cheap and relatively sturdy.
Yes, things like bed crossbows, trebuchets, Roman ballistas, etc. are all made of treated wood. Wood can be obtained anywhere. Before the classical era, bronze machinery generally represented the highest craftsmanship of this civilization.
, and there are only three things needed for war.
Cheap, sturdy, and ready for mass production.
Danzhu knew that he could no longer row the boat because the situation was already very serious, so he went to survey the terrain in person. Based on the geological survey he had learned in the Akafang family in the past six months, Danzhu accepted Zanzai's suggestion and prepared
Build a point on the only way Sanmiao must pass.
In the age of mountains and seas, there are no barriers.
In the era of tribal federation, at this time, people's cities were generally built very large and strong. These cities played a role in protecting their homes. However, because the mountains and seas were far away and the cattle and horses were very slow, there was no concept of building a checkpoint.
It didn’t exist in the Xia Dynasty, and it seems it didn’t exist in the Shang Dynasty either, but it did exist in the Zhou Dynasty.
The five passes mentioned in "The Romance of the Gods" are naturally fictitious. Tongguan Pass was set up very later. Tongguan Pass was originally another Hangu Pass, and the Qin Hangu Pass was set up in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Chu has the Nine Fortresses, and Qin has the Han Valley.
But now, Yan Zai has put forward the suggestion of building checkpoints. This is a brand new idea, but it is also a challenge for the southern wilds.
How to build Xiongguan? With the productivity of today's era, building a city gate cannot be completed in a short time. The south is not like Xiliang. The climate is different, and it is impossible for Boss Cao to splash water to build a city.
And if you build a city casually, it is really possible for it to be eaten away by the three seedlings!
This is a mythical era with divine power!
The mighty warrior uses his body as a shield, and there is absolutely no problem in using a big stick as a human battering ram!
And if you build a stone fortress, it will take longer!
"Building a city is a very troublesome thing. Zai, what is this so-called 'bunker' of yours?"
Danzhu took Yuzai with him and asked at this time: "Hide the archers in this? Are the crossbows also placed on the bed?"
Yu Zai thought to himself, if it weren't for the fact that this era didn't have the ability to process gunpowder and firearms, it wouldn't be so cool to have two heavy machine guns...
Forget it, this is way ahead of its time. If you want to put a heavy machine gun in a bunker, you might as well go to the mountains and seas to find some fire-breathing beasts like Goozi.
When the time comes, put this strange beast inside, and its tail will be exposed from the back. When you pull its tail, it will spit fire...
And to be honest, most of Sanmiao must have Shenyun-level warriors, and maybe even human-level monsters!
After all, I have fucked Zhongyuan so many times. Like a mangy dog, I will definitely not be able to do it without some skills.
When it comes to this kind of character, he is really a human shield machine, a contractor for digging mountains and reclamation. Your ordinary machine gun bullets may not be able to hit him!
How can a body that has been polished and tempered for a long time lose to a mere steel!
"But according to the ancient saying, the bunker should be a 'Wubao'... We will build the city here, and it will take at least a year... It depends on whether Yangdi Mountain can block it."
As Yuzai answered Danzhu's question, he thought carefully in his mind.
As long as the Wuyanbu Alliance in Yangdi Mountain can hold out for a few months, Sanmiao will be short of food, and they will have to make a temporary truce, hunt in other mountains and fields, and then use slash-and-burn farming to open up a temporary field.
This buys time.
"Hey, what do I want to do with so much? I am not the big commander. In this war involving hundreds of thousands of people, I, the Akakata clan, am just an insignificant small tribe!"
