The big ship has been built, and it seems that it can cross the big river and go straight to the Nanban mountains on the opposite side.

However, Zhao Hao was not in a hurry to set off, after all, the Nanban Mountains are the legendary dangerous places, even if a large part of the Xue Manbu does not dare to enter it, he Haotian will definitely not be able to compare with the Xue Manbu, so he must be very careful.

In addition, the fact that this big ship is built does not mean that they will be able to set off immediately, and there are still many things to prepare.

For example, the bricks used to build the fortress, he didn't dare to bring people over and slowly burn the bricks, in that case, if he approached the existence of a divine beast or even a real divine beast suddenly ran over to clean them up, it would be troublesome.

This kind of thing is very likely to happen, because the territory concept of wild beasts is very strong, close to the existence of divine beasts and real divine beasts also belong to wild beasts, whether it is humans or any other beast entering their territory, they cannot ignore it.

For the sake of insurance, Zhao Hao still decided to make all the bricks needed to build the fortress first, and directly pull it over with a big boat.

In addition, the personnel stationed at the fort must also be prepared in advance.

Since it was close to winter at this time, each battalion needed to build sheepfolds, cowsheds and stables, and also prepare forage for the winter, and the personnel were relatively tight, and it was impossible for Zhao Hao to let the Garuda camp put down everything to help him cross the river and build a fortress to garrison, so that the Garuda camp might not be able to survive this winter.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to issue a conscription order, ordering the other seven battalions to send fifty elites each to help.

At the same time, he also had to solve the problem of the big ship docking, because this time it was crossing the river, and he had to transport a lot of supplies across the river, and if the big ship did not dock, the supplies would not be able to get on the boat.

The place where the big ship can dock is naturally the dock.

The construction of the wharf was a troublesome thing in later generations, because the wharf had to be piled, and if there were no piles deep into the water, the wharf could not stand safely on the water.

However, at this time, piling is a relatively simple thing for Zhao Hao, because he has a lot of strength!

A tree stump, ordinary people want to firmly knock into the mud and sand at the bottom of the water, it is quite laborious, but this kind of thing is not so troublesome for him, basically, he only needs to hold a stump and insert it into the mud and sand, at least one or two meters can be inserted, and then take a special sledgehammer and knock it a few times, and the stump will be stable.

When he first built the barrage cofferdam, he didn't have such a suitable tool as a sledgehammer, which was not very strenuous, and now the sledgehammer was built casually, and driving piles was naturally a fairly simple thing for him.

In less than a day, he drove two rows of ground piles into the lake, and with the help of dozens of carpenters from the Garuda camp, the next day, the dock by the lake was built.

Immediately afterwards, he prepared a batch of ground piles, pulled them to the west side of the river by a large boat, found a suitable location, and built another wharf.

It took less than five days to build these two docks, which was quite impressive, and at this time, the elite of the battalions were still rushing here, and besides, the Garuda battalion had not prepared all the bricks needed to build the fortress.

Zhao Hao calculated the time, and felt that it would take at least half a month for everything to be ready, and in this half a month, he was not idle, since he had time, then build a ship, the more ships, the faster the speed of transportation, the more people and materials that were transported across the river each time, the more trouble would be saved, and the danger would be relatively reduced.

This kind of thing can be done, and it is natural to do it.

So, he began to collect timber again to build ships.

This time, though, he didn't do all the work alone.

In fact, when it comes to the process of shipbuilding, it is more troublesome to turn a log into a plank, because he has not had time to make a saw at this time, so he can only rely on the advantages of the divine soldier to chop hard.

As for other things, it is relatively simple, ordinary carpenters can basically do it, especially these carpenters in the Garuda camp have witnessed the process of his first shipbuilding, what to connect the hull, boiling glue and wiping seams, they are still competent.

If he is alone, it will take at least more than ten days to build a ship, and dozens of carpenters will help together, and this time will be shortened to five days!

This efficiency is quite exaggerated even in later generations, but because of the existence of his humanoid machining center, this efficiency is not very exaggerated.

Zhao Hao took the clansmen of the Garuda camp to work for half a month, and the elites of the other seven battalions also rushed over one after another.

At this time, they already had four big ships, and the timber needed to build the wharf and the bricks needed to build the fortress had also been prepared.

Early this morning, the four big ships of Haotian Department docked on both sides of the wharf on the west bank of the big river early, and a team of elites carrying the timber for building the wharf boarded the big ship one after another, everything was ready, Zhao Hao looked at the other side with a solemn expression, and then waved his hand and shouted firmly: "Let's go!" ”

"Drink, drink, drink." A neat shout followed, and the four big boats, rowed with all the strength of eighty young men, lined up in a neat queue and headed straight for the opposite shore.

To be honest, at this time, Zhao Hao was still a little nervous in his heart, because, about the situation in the Nanban mountains, he had also heard a few words roughly mentioned by Wu Wu, the leader of the Nanjiang Tribe, and he really didn't know how dangerous the other side was.

A kilometer was a matter of minutes for a large ship moving at full speed, and soon the four large ships were approaching the east bank of the great river.

At this time, Zhao Hao finally saw the true appearance of the Nanban mountains.

The Nanban mountains, sure enough, are different from the general wild jungles, not only the mountains are dense, but also the vegetation between the mountains is quite lush, and the overall feeling is a sense of vitality, at first glance, there is no danger at all.

Of course, Zhao Hao would not be careless because of this, after he roughly looked at the terrain here, he looked back at the location of the dock on the other side, and then pointed his hand to the south and shouted: "Go to that tributary over there to find a place to land." ”

When the big boats cross the river, they will naturally be pushed by the flowing water, and the flow direction of this big river is from south to north, that is, they have actually been pushed a few hundred meters north by the current at this time, so he will let the four big ships go up the river and go to a tributary a little south of the dock on the opposite bank to find a place to land.

The speed of the four big ships going up the current is not fast, but Zhao Hao is not in a hurry, he is holding the bow and arrows tightly, and he is concentrating on scanning everything on the shore, if the strange beasts in the mountains of the Southern Barbarians are also close to the existence of the divine beasts, they can be seen everywhere like ordinary beasts in the wild jungle, he has to think about not letting the elite of the eighth battalion land at this time.

After all, the elite of the eighth battalion was also quite dangerous in the face of a large number of alien beasts, and he could not guarantee the safety of everyone.

Fortunately, the road was relatively peaceful, and there were no strange beasts or the existence of close to divine beasts suddenly burst out, until they entered the tributary and found a relatively flat grassland, and there was still no movement on the shore.

It seems that the Southern Barbarian Mountains are not as terrifying as he imagined, and it is not much of a problem to land with the elite of the clan.

At this time, the most important thing is to build a wharf, so that the elite of the eighth battalion can gain a foothold on the river bank and build the fortress.

Zhao Hao carefully observed the situation on the shore, and then jumped up without hesitation, and landed on the flat grass with a "boom".

This time, he finally landed on the east bank and came to the Nanban Mountains, will he encounter any danger next?
