Chapter 327
Ming thought about the difficulties along the way and twitched his lips. "It's okay when we're pulling bricks on flat ground, but when we encounter a hill..."
Originally, the weight of these bricks was not a problem for the Snow Werewolves, but unfortunately they also had to ensure that the bricks would not break. When they encountered a road with many rocks, they needed to clear the road surface in advance, which increased their travel time by more than half.
Yu Sui scratched his head. Transportation was indeed a big problem. If the bricks were broken, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort to fire them?
"That's why I thought about building roads. Not just the road to the Gray Iron Tribe, but also the roads to the Red Grass Tribe and other places we frequently visit. This way, whether it's transporting things or traveling back and forth, it will be very convenient and will also speed up our journey."
However, these roads certainly cannot be built at the same time. The project is too large and too labor-intensive, which is a bit difficult given the current capabilities of the Black Map Tribe.
However, bricks are fragile, so it’s okay if food or something is bumped around a bit, you can put it aside and repair it later.
In his previous life, Yu Sui often heard a slogan: "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads." Now the situation in the Heitu tribe is: "If you want to build houses, you must first build roads..."
Black Rock nodded. "It seems we need to build a road to the Gray Iron Tribe as soon as possible."
"What should we use to repair it? If we use cement as Xiaoyu did before, it would waste too much raw materials and be more troublesome. Why not just build a dirt road?" Bombur frowned and looked a little worried.
The dirt road is convenient. The tribesmen can simply clear out the trees and low plants, and then pave the rocky road. It is quick and easy.
Yu Sui thought for a while and said, "Uncle Bangbo is right. We can build a dirt road first, and then slowly build it into a cement road when we have time in the future."
Just like in the previous life, the rural areas were originally all dirt roads. At that time, having a dirt road could at least lead to the outside world to buy and sell goods, which was already good. Later, when the country became rich, the rural roads were turned into cement roads.
No matter what, this road must be built, otherwise it will be too inconvenient.
I remember watching the news in my previous life. There was a mountainous area in a place that Yu Sui had never been to. The villages deep in the mountains had no normal and flat roads leading to the outside world. The villagers even risked their lives when going up and down the mountains, not to mention developing the economy.
Although the orcs have strong conditions, there is still a more convenient way to transport goods. In the future, it will be more convenient for the Gray Iron Tribe and the Black Map Tribe to travel between them.
For the sake of long-term cooperation in the future, this road must be built.
"If it's a dirt road, then next time whoever goes to the Heitu tribe must bring tools with them, and there will be orcs accompanying them to do the hard work and clear the way as they go." Heiyan's expression relaxed a lot after hearing that the dirt road would be built first.
There are no roads in the world, but when more people walk on it, it becomes a road... I didn't expect this sentence to come true. It really doesn't delay much for the orcs. Next time when a tribesman goes to the Gray Iron Tribe, bring a few more orcs to go faster.
After talking about the road, Bombur and Rob began to talk about their experiences in the Gray Iron Tribe alternately.
Rob vividly described to everyone Yun and Ming's actions in the swamp, which made Yu Sui laugh out loud.
As expected of a Snow Werewolf, when encountering a monster, all he wants to do is eat...
"However, the power of the thunder bomb is very considerable. Aunt Buona helped me improve it. Now even the third-level monsters with particularly strong defense can't withstand the attack of the thunder bomb. There is also a new function. When the thunder bomb hits the enemy, even if the timing is not right and it doesn't explode, it won't fall to the ground," Bombur said excitedly.
"We've added a new feature. When the thunder bomb hits a monster, it will stick to it. Even if it explodes a few seconds later, the monster won't be able to dodge it easily."
The monsters in the swamp suffered a lot during this period. A group of dwarves would conduct experiments from time to time, and the mud in the swamp and the flesh and blood of the monsters would explode everywhere.
Until the noise became too loud, a fifth-level mud python crawled out of a huge swamp pit. Fortunately, Yun and Ming reacted quickly and escaped in advance with a group of dwarves.
Bombur originally thought that the two snow wolves took them away because the crawling monsters were not edible. After running for a distance, he heard a horrible hissing sound coming from behind him, and saw the mud python chasing after him. Only then did he realize that he was in trouble.
Fortunately, the mud python lives in the swamp all year round and cannot leave for a long time. Yun Heming was worried about leading it to the Gray Iron Tribe, so he took the dwarves and ran a long distance around the tribe. Only then did the mud python give up the attack and return angrily.
The dwarves could still faintly hear the mud pythons losing their temper, and the mud in the swamp was thrown back with great force, causing more damage than the damage they caused.
Bombur and Buona finally calmed down, but the function of the thunder bomb was almost perfected. Due to the limitations of its material and size, its power had reached its limit.
In addition to the newly developed weapons that launch thunder bombs, the slingshot-like design increases the power of thunder bombs, which is enough for the dwarves to protect themselves.
The materials for making thunder bombs are not rare, but the sulfur mine is a bit far away, so Bombur and others need to deliver it to the Gray Iron Tribe. After all, they are protected by the Snow Werewolves, and it is safer to obtain ore around the extinct volcano.
There are many monsters near the volcano. If the dwarves of the Gray Iron Tribe were asked to go mining, it would be no different from delivering food.
Yu Sui smiled and said, "That's great. We don't have to worry about the explosion hitting our own people. If we throw it out in advance, we don't have to worry about the monsters dodging it."
"Aside from the thunder bombs, the brick-making is also going smoothly. Although the swampland near the Gray Iron Tribe is a bit smelly, it also has its advantages. The bricks made from the mud there are stronger than ours."
Bombur continued.
The mud in the swamp is denser, so the bricks made from it are definitely of better quality than those made from ordinary mud.
The bricks of the Heitu tribe are made of mud from the river that Yu Sui specially selected, but it is still not as good as the mud from the swamp.
"Everything has its pros and cons. Now the houses of the Gray Iron Tribe can be rebuilt. The quality is pretty good and easier to get than stone." Yu Sui said with emotion. He remembered that the last time he passed by, the Gray Iron Tribe was destroyed beyond recognition by the one-eyed bear, and many dwarves had to live in the basement.
Heiyan patted his thigh. "These bricks came just in time. We need bricks everywhere. We just built a paper mill, and the farm over there needs bricks too. Now a human has come, and we need bricks to build a house too. The brick kiln is overwhelmed."
Bombur and Rob asked in unison, "Why is there another human?"
Could it be that Xiaoyu Sui picked up another one? What happened to the Dreamland recently? Why are humans running around?
Yu Sui could guess what they were thinking by looking at their eyes, and said unhappily, "I really didn't pick it up! I won't bring anyone back alive so easily!"
