Chapter 123 House Building Plan
Although the Black Moon Camp, as the base camp, is geographically close to the center of his territory and the surrounding area is relatively safe, the deployment of defenses is related to the survival of the tribe and cannot be relaxed.
The move of 'Skeleton Soldier Summons' only summoned them and did not care about returning them to their original positions.
Although Zhou Xu can control them with 'Skeleton Soldier Control', even under 'Skeleton Soldier Control' or even 'Enhanced Skeleton Soldier Control'.
Zhou Xu issued an order to "return to original positions", but these skeleton soldiers did not understand it at all.
The only way is to let him command these skeleton soldiers back one by one.
But in this case, it would be easier to ask the tribal members to carry these skeletons back for deployment.
In this way, Zhou Xu's test of the truth unexpectedly added a lot of workload to the already busy and confused tribal members.
It's a new day. With the temperature rising day by day, the construction team headed by Wang Dashi is busy and sweating profusely.
It took them a lot of energy and time to polish the mortise and tenon structure on the main frame of the house according to the design drawings drawn by their leader, but now it has finally been polished.
During this period, the assigned manpower has already dug the 50-square-meter foundation, and now the construction of the house frame has finally officially begun.
To be on the safe side, while using the mortise and tenon structure to fix the frame, they also did not forget to tie it up with thick enough bark ropes, mainly for the sake of peace of mind.
Previously, the construction team had basically been doing hard labor, and this was the first time they had done this kind of work that required some technical skills. The overall work efficiency was not high, but after spending most of the day, they managed to build the main frame of the entire house.
At this moment, looking at the house frame in front of them, not to mention the tribe members watching nearby, even the members of the construction team headed by Wang Dashi, after the initial surprise, the expression on their faces was just a silly smile.
It is totally unimaginable that they were the ones who built such an amazing thing.
For a moment, strong feelings of satisfaction and pride intertwined and almost overwhelmed them completely.
Of course, all this is thanks to the design drawings provided by their leader, otherwise, they would not have known that the wood could be combined in this way.
This fantastic creativity simply amazed them!
"Captain, the mud and rock slurry is ready."
"Okay, we've all rested enough, let's get to work!"
As Wang Dashi called out, the members of the construction team shouted a few times to cheer themselves up and work harder.
This mud and rock slurry was undoubtedly prepared in accordance with the wishes of their leader.
Mix soil, gravel and water and stir evenly. This mud and stone slurry is undoubtedly used to fill the foundation.
As the main pillar of the house, in order to ensure the stability of the house, they buried one section directly into the soil.
Now that all the pillars have been fixed, under the command of Wang Dashi, the mixed mud and rock slurry was immediately poured into the pit bucket by bucket.
The mud and rock slurry was thick and spread slowly after being poured down. Once the entire hole was filled, this part of the work came to a temporary end.
During the time of waiting for the mud and stone slurry to dry and solidify, Wang Dashi and his team were not completely idle. They had to spend time preparing the bamboo material for the wall.
Zhou Xu, an efficiency-oriented person, is also a typical example of labor exploitation from another perspective. He has packed the entire process for the construction team.
The weather is hot and the sun is strong now, so the mud is quickly dried and solidified, which in turn improves their efficiency.
According to Zhou Xu's plan, after the bamboo walls were erected, a layer of lake mud was pasted inside and outside, and finally a thatched roof was covered. A mud and stone house that was flawless from any angle was built.
On the day the house was completed, it undoubtedly attracted the attention of everyone in the camp.
Although this thatched house can be said to have been built bit by bit while the tribe members watched the entire process.
But when it was actually completed, this building that was completely beyond their common sense still gave everyone enough shock.
Compared with the house in front of us, the animal skin tents in the residential area are simply shabby.
During this period, Zhou Xu, who finally had a house, was very excited.
Zhou Xu pushed open the two wooden doors and walked into the house. At that moment, the temperature change was so obvious. The coolness that enveloped his whole body made him, who was sweating profusely, feel comfortable.
Looking around the room, it was now filled with simple furniture.
A bamboo bed, a bamboo chair, and a sturdy wooden table are all the furniture in the room.
At the same time, two windows were made in this room, one next to the bed and one next to the desk.
On the one hand, ventilation is a consideration, and on the other hand, lighting is a consideration.
After all, no light can come into this room. If he needs to work during the day, he can just open the window and natural light will come in.
Next to the window, there is a small stick used to support the window. It took them a lot of effort to make the window and the door.
Considering the current era, being able to live in a house like this is really something special.
Zhou Xu naturally praised the construction team's work and generously gave each team member eggs as rewards.
Having developed to this point, his tribe basically no longer needs to worry about food problems.
Under this premise, compared to the fish and meat that we eat every day, eggs are still a relatively rare food in the Black Moon Camp at this stage.
In the minds of the tribal members, the current reward of eggs is already higher than the reward of ordinary fish meat.
The construction team’s work certainly wouldn’t end there after they happily accepted the reward.
In other words, their work has just begun.
As the summer season is gradually approaching, houses that can provide them with a cool and resting place are undoubtedly very important.
Therefore, according to Zhou Xu's idea, he wanted to comprehensively upgrade the living area of the entire tribe and replace all the original animal skin tents with thatched houses.
Of course, if all of them were to be built like his, with individual doors and houses, the construction team probably wouldn’t be able to finish the work even by the end of the summer.
So he planned to turn the remaining thatched houses into dormitories, lining them up with small rooms separated by walls. Each room was about twelve square meters, big enough to fit a bed and still have some spare space, which was enough for ordinary members.
Of course, Zhou Xu naturally planned to give some preferential treatment in accommodation to important members of the tribe.
For example, Zhuang Mengdie may also need a desk so that she can unfold the animal skin paper and do some design or record when she has an idea.
Therefore, dormitory rooms for cadres like these will be built in a separate row, with each room being 20 square meters and enough space to accommodate an extra desk.
