Chapter 81 A Key Point (Additional chapter for those who have accumulated 600 monthly votes)

As it stands now, the cavalry advantage is too great.

Moreover, the racial advantages of those centaurs probably meant that they were naturally stronger than ordinary human cavalry units.

Once the two sides face off, they have no advantage at all.

Even if we are more optimistic, even if they really win, how much will they have to pay in the process?

Don't forget, he now has three camps under his command.

With more than a hundred tribal members currently distributed reasonably, it is not difficult to operate three camps normally.

But once a group is lost, it is very likely that the entire camp will have to be abandoned because there will not be enough manpower to maintain it.

Although this is an era where the strong prey on the weak, it doesn't mean that you should just think about fighting and killing.

We must know how to rationally weigh the pros and cons in order to achieve long-term and stable development.

After arranging things here, Zhou Xu set out early the next morning and returned to the Black Moon Camp.

Along the way, I didn't forget to pick up some berry bushes to bring back.

After all, these red berries have been confirmed to be edible fruits, and they can supplement some trace elements that they cannot get from their daily diet.

Under this premise, Zhou Xu has already broken open the flesh and confirmed that the core of the fruit is very small, even smaller than a sesame seed.

Compared with planting and cultivating from the core, directly transplanting the original berry bushes is undoubtedly a more time-saving and labor-saving method for them.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way. With Ye Jinghong and his team's thorough exploration, they had a full grasp of the route from the Black Moon Camp to the Grassland Camp, and there was basically no risk along the way.

After returning to the camp, Zhou Xu quickly called the logging team and added more people to the team so that they could start working as quickly as possible.

Then he hurried to the equipment department to find Zhuang Mengdie.

Because if his plan is to be implemented smoothly and efficiently, there is a very important point, that is, whether the cart previously handed over to Zhuang Mengdie can be successfully developed.

After all, in order to deal with the centaurs who might attack their camp, they needed to deploy important defensive facilities, namely chevaux de frise, around the camp.

But the chevaux de frise is quite large, and if you want to transport it smoothly from the Black Moon Camp to the Grassland Camp without a cart, the whole thing will become extremely difficult.

Of course, given Zhou Xu's personality, he would never do anything he was not sure of.

In fact, when he set out from the Black Moon Camp to establish the grassland camp, the most difficult parts for making a cart had already been conquered by Zhuang Mengdie's skillful hands.

After that, the whole thing is actually simple.

Almost the next day after Zhou Xu and his team set out, the first cart of their tribe was officially born in the hands of Zhuang Mengdie.

However, without Zhou Xu's instructions, she did not give the cart to other tribal members without permission.

Since the structure of the cart itself is not complicated, Zhou Xu had already drawn it clearly when he was drawing the design.

Although the actual object made by Zhuang Mengdie today cannot be said to be exactly the same, at first glance, it looks almost the same.

Holding the two extended handles with his hands, Zhou Xu tried to make simple pushing and pulling movements.

Under the application of force, accompanied by the sound of "clicking", the brand new cart was immediately pushed forward, making Zhou Xu couldn't help laughing out loud.

This feeling is really wonderful. The excitement of creating things one by one is something he will never get tired of no matter how many times he does it.

Now in this tribe, the person who can best understand his feelings is undoubtedly Zhuang Mengdie, who built this wooden cart with his own hands.

As for whether this wooden cart could be pushed and pulled normally, Zhuang Mengdie was undoubtedly the first to test it, and also the first to get the answer.

But now, looking at the wooden cart moving steadily under the push and pull of their leader, Zhuang Mengdie's face was still full of excitement that could not be concealed at all.

The process of pushing and pulling the wooden cart cannot be said to be completely smooth, and it is still a bit shaky overall.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

On the one hand, since it is purely hand-polished, there will be some errors and it is impossible to achieve 100% absolute precision.

The other reason is even more unavoidable.

That's the uneven road...

In this era, let alone roads in the wild, even the roads in their camp could not be completely flat.

Under this premise, there were no shock-absorbing measures in this era, and wooden carts were generally made of hardwood. It was impossible to have no bumps or shakes at all.

Basically, Zhuang Mengdie was very satisfied that he could achieve this level through pure manual polishing within a limited time.

"Well done, I'll give you five fish as a reward. You can do whatever you want with them!"

The successful production of the wooden cart was enough to bring about a qualitative improvement in the transportation capacity of their tribe.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Compared with the value of the wooden cart, the reward of just five fish seemed insignificant to Zhou Xu.

After giving the reward, Zhou Xu quickly turned the topic back to business.

"How's the second wooden cart going?"

Before setting off, Zhou Xu estimated that the first wooden cart could be completed soon, so he specifically instructed Zhuang Mengdie to start making the second one after confirming that it was completed and there were no problems.

It has been seven days since he left, and Zhou Xu is still quite concerned about the progress of the second wooden cart.

After all, there is only one, which is definitely not enough.

Considering the distance to the third camp and the current special circumstances, for Zhou Xu at this moment, the more wooden carts the better.

At least they need five vehicles to fully expand their tribe's transportation capacity, right? But he also knew that this was a bit of a luxury.

After hearing Zhou Xu's words, Zhuang Mengdie roughly estimated it in her mind and then said...

"In three days, the second wooden cart should be finished."

You have to know that this was when Zhuang Mengdie had already successfully made the first wooden cart, accumulated a certain amount of experience, and improved production efficiency.

Zhou Xu certainly knew that in this era, it was not easy to polish such parts, but he still couldn't help but ask another question.

"Can it be faster?"

"If we make a few more and become proficient at it, the efficiency should be able to be improved, right?"

Zhuang Mengdie said this in a tone that did not sound particularly sure.

"But according to my feeling, it will take at least seven to eight days at the fastest."

"Do you think other members of the department can learn it? With their help, many tasks can be done at the same time, and efficiency should be further improved, right?"

"Well, I think I can learn it, but it will probably take quite a while..."
