Chapter 97 97. Logging
It takes at least three to five years to build a town.
Perhaps the requirements of the Adventure Town could be relaxed a bit, but even so, nothing could be accomplished in less than half a month.
The wilderness is dotted with tents.
It can be said that almost all the tents in Donggang City are here.
However, it still cannot accommodate everyone.
People continued to speed up the pace of building houses and searched for shelter from the wind and rain in the hills.
After a rainy season, hundreds of people died quietly, and many of them did not even leave their names.
This land is soaked with the blood and tears of our pioneers.
Reclaiming wasteland is extremely difficult, and Zoe knows this all too well. She has seen people collapse in the fields and on the road while carrying wood.
In the absence of medical care, falling down means death, getting sick means death, and even getting a minor wound infected can result in death.
The fire of life is so weak that it can be completely extinguished by the slightest disturbance.
In comparison, Fulinbao is indeed like a fairy-tale world.
No sorrow, no pain. Zoe changed into leather armor, took a longbow, and walked out of the wooden house.
Since I don’t know the exact time, I can sleep until I wake up naturally and no one will urge me.
Take the basin to the pond and get some clean water to wash. Then go to the canteen and eat something to fill your stomach.
Most people have two opportunities to eat a day.
A meal in the morning is called a big meal, and a meal in the evening is called a small meal.
After getting up in the morning, people have to go to work immediately, which consumes a lot of physical energy, so they need to eat more, so it is called "da shi".
The sun is about to set in the afternoon, and it is almost time to go to bed after dinner. Lying down does not consume too much energy, so it is called a snack.
Only a few skilled people can eat three meals a day.
After breakfast, Zoe returned to her cabin.
Lodel was soundly sleeping, catching up on his nap.
"Dale!" Zoe angrily lifted the quilt.
She was scolded for sleeping a little longer. Unexpectedly, she fell asleep herself.
Luo Deer hummed softly: "It's quite comfortable here, not cold at all."
"I'm fine, but those people who are pioneering the new land have a hard time." Zoe couldn't help but mention it.
Luo Deer rubbed his eyes and said, "What do you need? I'll go back and get some."
"There are not enough tents and clothes. Don't send any more people over. There is no place to live."
“Is there enough food?”
"For now, we have more food and no shortage of prey."
Lodel climbed up and asked, "Have you been hunting?"
"Yes, every day, thanks to the salt sent by the young master. If we can't finish the hunting meat, we can pickle it, so almost nothing is wasted." Zoe sighed.
Just by looking at the truckloads of salt, one can feel the strength of Fulinbao's support, and it is hard to complain.
Lodel got up and stretched: "Is this salt really reliable?"
"What do you mean?" Zoe looked at her strangely.
Luo Deer did not hide anything and told Luo Wei about his salt drying: "Salt is not valuable now, and it seems that the production has increased a lot."
"So that's how it is! It seems that the young master has been working hard recently." Zoe expressed her approval of Lovey's recent work.
"How is that possible? You think too highly of him! He has no self-awareness at all. If it weren't for my supervision." Lodel snorted disdainfully, indicating that he also had a contribution, and then changed the subject: "Where is Mr. Bruno?"
"He and Russ are planning the fields and are very busy every day."
"Let's not disturb them, let's go hunting."
East wasteland primeval forest.
Looking around, there are groups of giant trees with continuous treetops.
The thick tree trunk is about 20 meters high, and it is difficult for five or six people to hug it.
Cutting down a standard giant tree is only theoretically possible.
The actual operation would probably take a logging team several months, which would not only be costly but also cause transportation problems.
Bruno slapped the tree trunk sadly, and hundreds of fine scratches on it overlapped to form a tiny crack.
The loggers had given up, preferring to run further away in search of smaller trees that were easier to cut.
There were forests all around, and the timber resources were abundant, but the timber available was too little.
The construction of houses is progressing slowly and it is unknown when the prototype of a town will be available.
Bruno was confused. He knew that if he continued like this, he would have no chance of survival this winter.
"I'm sorry, Master! I failed to live up to your expectations."
Inside the blacksmith shop, the sound of iron forging was in full swing. Ding-ding-dong-dong, hitting people's eardrums.
The orders for shovels have been basically delivered. At this stage, we are rushing to produce sickles, in addition to the new woodcutting tools invented by the lord.
Saw!
The orange-red molten iron is poured into the sand mold, saving the arduous process of hammering and forging.
Since the emergence of coke, many things that were difficult to do in the past have become easy.
Under the urging of Mossofi, many master blacksmiths put aside their differences and conducted a thorough exchange of technology.
New technologies are born every day and new ideas may appear every minute.
As a result, the consumption of coke increased, and people's demand for iron tools seemed endless.
After returning to Fulin Castle, Lovey asked his mother Evelyn: "What should I do first now?"
"Nothing is more important than the autumn harvest. Everything must give way to the autumn harvest." Evelyn answered decisively.
Lovey thought it made sense and decided to send more people to the farmland tomorrow.
When the news was announced, no one was surprised. Everyone had an expression that said this was expected and should have happened long ago.
The afternoon time gradually came to an end.
The maids changed shifts before four o'clock, with Xiqi and Aka replacing Lanlan and Fiona.
Xiqi was still working in the Executive Office and was expected to finish at five o'clock. As long as she returned before six o'clock and had not been there more than two hours, it would not be considered a breach of contract.
A-Ka changed into a maid outfit, and her expression looked slightly strange.
“This dress is so tight”
"It will become loose if you wear it for a few days."
Lovey looked at the chestnut-haired beauty.
A-Ka was relatively tall, with smooth muscle lines on his limbs that gave him a strong feeling. Overall, it was still within his acceptable range.
It's much better than Zoe's exaggerated muscle proportions.
“Master, no one dares to bully you when I’m here.” A-Ka grinned and made a gesture to show off his strength.
"Maids must be gentle and not allowed to fight with others." Lovi looked down at his slender arms, feeling very uncomfortable.
“No, don’t worry. Unless someone attacks you, I am a very friendly person.” A-Ka assured solemnly.
The sun was about to set, and Laudel had not returned yet.
Lowe finally couldn't help asking the guard on duty.
The guard informed: "Lord Lodel said he was going to look for Zoe when he left this morning."
"It will take at least several days to run such a long distance." Lowe cheered in his heart.
Before I could turn around, I suddenly noticed a figure rushing towards me from the end of my sight.
Like an arrow, his body leaned slightly forward.
There was a transparent flame burning around his body, and his silver hair was fluttering in the wind behind his head.
She was approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye.
