People in the Shanhai Age had already learned to build strong cities with huge rocks and loess. This behavior had already begun in the Shennong period. Whether it was Dongyi, Baiyue, or the Central Plains, wherever civilization flourished, they had
A huge, extremely solid city stands.
However, although the city is solid, it still needs the cooperation of checkpoints and fortresses.
Xunshan decided to build a huge pass, and building a city in the south was obviously inappropriate, because if the Sanmiao really broke through, they would be able to roam throughout the southern wilds, and the various tribes lived very scattered. Where should the city be built?
, how to repair it in order to maximize the defense of Sanmiao's offensive arteries is unrealistic.
Because the city and the fortress are still different, first of all, their responsibilities are different. One is life and the other is combat. For example, Ji Liguo can build the city next to the mountain. Baiyue and the Central Plains can also do the same. Then
It's because those big cities are gathering places for a large number of tribes.
However, in the southern wilderness, tribal residential areas are very scattered. There are some near Nanqiu, some in Sanshan and Siye, some in Jinqiu, some in Zhuyu Mountain, some in Changpu Lake, some in Changfeng Wilderness, and then Chaisang,
Xunshan, Mangman, and Sheqiu where the Tong Hong family lived. If the Diyou family is included, it would extend to the edge of Lingnan.
The scope is too large and the cost of defense is too high.
It is better to build a huge barrier.
"Hey! It's so dangerous!"
Xiashan Mountain and Jiucang Mountain connect many mountain ranges, forming a tall and majestic mountain network that extends to the edge of the river, blocking the extension of the northern land, and also protecting the southern wilderness.
Xiushui flows here. Although the water flow is not very fast, it is wider than Sanyu and Chehe rivers.
Soldiers work here.
Various tribes began to allocate manpower, and Xunshan had already issued an order. This was the first large-scale corvee conscription in several years.
Wizards are paid for researching weapons for guarding the gates, but there is no reward for collecting corvees, and each tribe must obey. In this regard, all tribes are equal in the face of large corvees.
This is true in the Central Plains, this is true in the Eastern Yi, and this is true in the Baiyue.
The same is true from the west to the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
Even the Youdu in the north will have voluntary "obedience tasks".
This is indeed a heavy burden imposed on the people by the "state" or the "ruling class".
But then again, can some corvées, such as the Great Wall, not be built?
Without the Great Wall as a frontline supply line, how could the Qin army defeat the Xiongnu for more than 700 miles?
However, a large number of people were mobilized for the Great Wall. Although there was no story of Meng Jiangnu at that time, there is still a saying among the people!
"Be careful not to raise a boy when you give birth to a boy, but use your breasts to feed a girl. If you don't see the corpses under the Great Wall, they will be leaning on each other!"
Some corvées were indeed carried out too hastily, such as the Grand Canal. Although Yang Guang was said to have sinned in the present and made merits in the future, in general, his faults outweighed his merits. Such a large number of corvees were imposed when the world was not stable. Qin
The resentment originated from the First Emperor, and the rebellion of the Sui Dynasty originated from Yang Guang.
This is the harm of knocking on wonders. In the classical era, knocking on wonders was a long-term task. When the construction is completed, everyone will naturally have a sense of pride, but if it is done too hastily, it will be counterproductive.
Another point is what the spectacle is for.
If you want people to be willing to give you a spectacle, then the spectacle must have the "contemporary significance" of its existence.
"Zai, there is a huge stone vein on the northeast side of Xia Mountain. After the rammed earth foundation is completed..."
The speaker is the great wizard of Chaisang Mountain.
This giant level, after discussions with several big bosses, decided to adopt the stone-covered-earth construction method mentioned before.
When building a city wall with stones, any city wall built with stones should be in areas where there are more square stones. For example, there are more stones in the Taihang Mountains and Baiyue, so stone walls are built there...especially the Haiphong City built in coastal areas.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it is also said that at the end of the Song Dynasty, stone was used to build cities.
When building a city with stones, the inside of the city wall is also built with earth walls first, and then stone strips or stones are tightly attached from both sides of the earth walls.
Among the Shanhai tribe, it is more difficult to find carpenters, but if you want to find junior masons who can dig mountains to open roads and crush boulders, you can find a lot of them. On average, everyone can basically use two hands to open stones.
It doesn't matter how beautiful you make it when you make a square. If it doesn't work, just knock in some edges and corners and paste them with mirage ash.
"A large stone mine was discovered in the northeast of Xia Mountain? It's a good thing. There are indeed many stone veins in the mountainous area, but in the northeast, transportation is a problem..."
"It takes a few hills to climb."
Yuzai faced another problem. Oxen carts and trolleys were okay for transporting rock salt, but when it came to transporting large stones, to be honest, whether it was ancient mountains and seas, ancient Babylon, or ancient Egypt, they basically all used primitive logs.
car.
Because although that thing is not easy to move and requires a lot of effort to pull, it has a high load-bearing capacity.
"Things that run fast are generally not big, and big things generally can't run at high speeds. There is still a gap between agile heroes and tank heroes. If tanks can run as fast as assassins, then why do assassins need to do it?"
The crane is not easy to use on this mountain. After all, this is a primitive crane. There are still many restrictions on the use of the tread wheel crane. Moreover, Danzhu is now asking a group of people to work on the second test model, which has slowed down the development of the bed crossbow.
Slowed down.
However, I heard that there is a carpenter named Chaogishi who is very skilled in making bed crossbows.
Is it really necessary to rely on the stupid method of picking someone to carry it?
"It would be great if there were giants..."
Yuzai felt a little emotional at this time. If there were giants here, whether they were from the Great People Kingdom, the Great Qin Kingdom, or the Long Bo Kingdom...if there were giants to help, then these mountains would no longer be an obstacle.
If there are giants, they can easily cut down the giant trees on the mountain and build them into strong primitive bridges.
The great wizard of Chaisang Mountain also said that this is the case. If there are giants to help, then this kind of thing will be much simpler. Although the great wizard is powerful, it is not to the point where he can move mountains and seas with just one word. They are all ancient gods.
the power of.
There are specializations in the art industry. Even if you look at some people who don't know anything, they can move mountains and seas. They are born civil engineering foremans.
Ruanzai gritted his teeth and told the great wizard of Chaisang Mountain that he would hold a mobilization meeting.
For this matter, no one can rely on anyone now, but the human race itself. The vast mountains are here, can this place be built...
No one can help them...
The great wizard seemed to feel something, and nodded without saying anything.
