Chapter 166: Setting Up Camp and Mining [5/10]
After more than an hour, Su Yan finally chose to set up camp on a slightly higher ground to the north of the copper mining area, covering an area of less than three acres.
When the camp was chosen, Su Yan immediately commanded the clansmen to take a net to enclose the camp around the camp, and use the net as a wall, which could effectively block the invasion of wild beasts and the same kind for two years.
As for two years later, the network will have to be replaced after two years.
Before the entire camp was fenced with a net, Zhi took most of Team A to this side to join Su Yan, and everyone worked together, and the entire camp was surrounded by a net half an hour later.
Before the halfway point of the afternoon, Team A continued to be busy, the wall had been completed, and the next step was to build a simple house in the camp, as long as the house could shelter from the rain, referring to the simple house built by the Dragon Tribe after conquering the Monkey Tribe.
Zhi took half of Team A to the surrounding jungle to collect materials for building houses, mainly slender tree trunks, branches, and wide plant leaves, Su Yan took the rest of Team A to tidy up the area that had just been designated as a camp, and needed to clean up weeds, shrubs and other plants, and then start building houses after Zhi's team brought back the materials.
The trunk is the frame of the house, the branches are the foundation of the roof, and the wide leaves of the plant are the roof of the house, and it took three days for Team A to build a total of 40 simple houses that can only protect from rain, and the area of one house is about 7 square meters, and it can probably lie down four or five adults at the same time, and 40 houses are enough for 180 people to live.
On the fifth day when Team A came to the copper mine area, the construction of the new home had been completed, but Su Yan did not rush to take Team A to mine copper ore, but instead took Team A with a net to surround the copper mining area with a net.
When Team A mines copper, it obviously doesn't pay too much attention to the surrounding situation, even if the clan guards will have accidents, it is better to use a net to fence the mining area, so that you can mine with confidence.
The time was just after noon, Yuan took Team B to transport food, half of the food transported was the fish caught yesterday, and the other half was pickled fish, which was about enough to meet Team A for four meals.
Team B set off for home as soon as they put down their food, without too much delay, otherwise it would be too late to go home, and the jungle at night was always dangerous.
After Team B left, Su Yan and Zhi commanded Team A to do the first mining, and the 180 people of Team A were scattered in the mining area surrounded by nets, they squatted down and hung up the rotten branches and leaves on the ground and a shallow layer of soil with a stone shovel.
Remember not to touch the ground with your hands, there are all kinds of insects living in the soil, maybe there are deadly poisonous insects among them, once bitten by poisonous insects, you can't say that this life will be lost here, so before mining, Su Yan repeatedly told the tribesmen, let the tribesmen remember not to touch the land with their hands easily.
Soon, pieces of copper ore were pulled out of the surface by Team A and loaded into rattan baskets.
"Wise, you must pay attention to safety, especially the hunting teams of other tribes."
"I see, king."
At noon the next day, Yuan took Team B to send two days of food to Team A, and on the way back, everyone in Team B carried a rattan basket containing copper ore on their backs, and each rattan basket contained about forty catties of copper ore on average, this weight would not have much impact on Team B's travel speed, and it was expected that Team B would be able to return to the tribe after dark.
Team A's mining is already on the right track, and there is no need for Su Yan to guide him anymore, so Su Yan follows Team B back to the Dragon Tribe.
On the way back, Su Yan sighed in his heart, the hard-working primitive people will obey any orders from the top of the tribe, they will not be lazy or slippery, they only know how to work hard, only when they are tired, they will rest for a while, and continue to work after resting.
I think it's the environment.
In the beginning, primitive people struggled to survive on this land, and some primitive people were lazy, but everyone else in the tribe was working hard to contribute to the tribe, why don't you work? The people of the tribe live a life of hunger and hunger, and if everyone works hard to contribute to the tribe, it is not the tribe that can get more food.
So those who are lazy and do not repent after being held up by other people or even leaders several times, they will be expelled from the tribe and left to fend for themselves outside the tribe, and the tribe does not need lazy tribesmen, maybe it is because of your laziness that some people starve to death.
Gradually, there are fewer and fewer lazy people, everyone is working hard, wanting to live a life where they can eat enough every day, if they don't have enough food when they work hard, they will only think that their efforts are not enough, and they need to continue to work hard......
It was already dark when Team B returned to the tribe, and walking in the jungle with heavy loads on their backs would affect their speed, even if the path was already familiar.
Today is the third day of team A's copper mining, and after seven days, team A will carry the ore on their backs, and on that day, team B, who has carried food on their backs, will take over from team A to mine copper, team C will take over from team B to deliver food and copper ore between the two places, and team A will take over from team C to complete the daily work of the dragon tribe.
Back to the tribe, Team B placed the rattan baskets containing copper ore in a unified manner, and then Team B disbanded and went back to their respective homes, and Su Yan and Yuan also walked separately to their houses.
There are still dozens of meters away from the house, with the help of the bonfire lit in the open space, Su Yan saw Xiaohua Xiaoyue sitting at the door of her house in a daze, Su Yan approached, and Xiaohua Xiaoyue realized Su Yan's return.
"Brother, you're back." Xiao Yue jumped to Su Yan's side and pulled Su Yan's arm.
"I'm back." Su Yan nodded.
"My brother hasn't eaten yet, so I'm going to prepare dinner for my brother." Xiaohua thought that Su Yan hadn't eaten yet, so she stood up as she said and walked towards the place where the dragon tribe had placed food.
It was enough for Xiaohua to go and get food alone, and Xiaoyue stayed to accompany Su Yan.
"Brother is tired, sit down and rest, I'll give my brother a leg to relax, my sister will cook the meal soon." Xiao Yue took Su Yan's arm and asked Su Yan to sit down, and then Xiao Yue sat next to Su Yan and stretched out her little hand to gently beat Su Yan's legs.
After walking for a long day, Su Yan was indeed a little tired, leaning against the brick wall, relaxing her legs, squinting and enjoying Xiaoyue's service.
After a while, Xiaohua came back with a piece of pickled animal meat and two fish caught today, Xiaohua glanced at the two people by the door gently, and then turned around and walked into the house to prepare dinner for Su Yan.
