Chapter 62: Problems Continue

Such a huge amount could not be weighed, so Tang Ge could only estimate. Tang Ge's habit is to calculate the budget to the maximum, and the things that can't be eaten can be thrown away, but it must not cause any risks to the tribe because of insufficient food, and so on, the prey hunted will naturally be counted at the most. Therefore, it can only be bitter for those tribes who participate in the autumn hunting of Banpo dolphins. Anyway, they are not the only ones who are affected, the tribesmen and slaves of Banpo Dolphin are also doing the same work, and this is officially the case, even if these natives have complaints in their hearts, they do not make any radical moves.

If you want to get enough food, you have to make a contribution that satisfies me, this is Tang Ge's point of view. Don't you see, in the autumn hunt of previous years, these small and medium-sized tribes can get enough food to last until the next spring, and they want to lie on the food and spend the winter comfortably? Trade your labor for it! Anyway, this kind of behavior, we only need to do it once, and when it comes to next year's autumn hunting, you come to beg us and estimate that we are too lazy to participate. Therefore, Banpo dolphin is not afraid to offend you.

The Banpo dolphin completely intercepted the migratory animals, so that the tribes in the wasteland who were preparing for autumn hunting did not see a single prey, and when they learned about the Banpo dolphin's practice, they became indignant one by one.

"They're trying to starve us! Completely cut off the life of the people in the wasteland! Banpo dolphins are now rampant! Do they think that no one can cure them!? Kuroko scolded angrily in front of the chiefs.

The chiefs, who had nothing to gain, were silent. Banpo Dolphin is now powerful, and half of the people in the wasteland have participated in their autumn hunting, even if they have complaints in their hearts, they don't dare to directly argue with Banpo Dolphin, and can only hope that Banpo Dolphin's subordinates will show mercy and leave them some leftovers of cold rice. If the Banpo dolphin really does things absolutely and doesn't leave them a single prey...... The chiefs could not have imagined the consequences.

In addition to the sunspots, the other chiefs were afraid that the autumn hunt would not be harvested, and they would be hungry in winter, and they did not dare to confront the Banpo dolphin, so a group of people discussed and discussed, and the only way was to ask the Banpo dolphin to open the net and leave them some prey, so the negotiation team set off. However, before the negotiation team reached the halfway point, they found that the long-awaited tide of animal migration had finally arrived, so they could only hurry back to their respective tribes and seize the time for autumn hunting.

"What a chance! It's a pity......" After learning that the migration tide had arrived, Kuroko patted his thigh and sighed.

The Banpo dolphin finally hunted enough prey, let go of the trap, and let the animals start to migrate, and at this time, it was more than half a month late from the migration time of previous years.

Banpo dolphins' devastating hunting behavior is deeply criticized by the indigenous people of the wilderness, who feel that this behavior will greatly damage the ecology of wild animals, lead to a reduction in prey production in the future, and will seriously affect their survival. But in fact, the Banpo dolphin was busy for two months, and the prey it hunted, compared with the animal migration army, was at most one percent, and even after the animals really began to migrate, it did not give people a sense of decrease.

After resting, the tribes involved in the autumn hunt began to travel to their tribes to transport rations to their tribes with satisfaction, and they would inevitably have a very comfortable winter this winter. And Banpo dolphins finally don't have to worry about food anymore, and they can let go of the construction of the city.

Before the end of the autumn hunt, all the planned civil works had been completed, which made Tang Ge breathe a sigh of relief. If it drags on until winter, the ground will freeze hard like stones, and it will be difficult to break the ground. Today, all that remains is the moving of the stone and the start of the formal construction work, which works even in the winter, as long as it is not in extreme weather.

After the autumn hunt, Tang Ge devoted himself to the construction of the city non-stop, and in the two months since he left, there were many problems on the construction site, and thousands of things were waiting for him to deal with.

First of all, the oval-shaped wooden rails have been laid, and after erecting the train-like carriages, the carriages filled with stones can be carried down from the rocky hill to the vicinity of the foundations of the city walls, and then the empty carriages are dragged by livestock from the other side of the ring back to the place where the stones are loaded, while another wooden rail carriage continues to run on the opposite side, which can be described as time-saving and labor-saving, and all who see these carriages are amazed. But with the use of wooden rails, problems also arise.

The slope of the rocky mountain is too large, the speed of the carriage is extremely high, and it overturns several times on the way, and the friction of the heavy-duty carriage is very large, and the wear and tear of the wooden rails is also very serious. Tang Ge thought about it, there was no other better way than to rely on manpower and animal power to drag it, send the steepest places safely to each other, and apply a lot of animal oil on the wooden rails. Even with the ability of the half-slope dolphin, it is impossible to erect bronze rails. It is impossible to do it in terms of process and material.

After the track problem was solved, there was another problem at the kiln factory. After the kiln factory was built, the first batch of fires were coarse pottery pipes, which were used for sewers. The city's sewers are now all buried, and the outlets are miles downstream from the city. Nowadays, the job of the kiln factory is to fire a large number of bricks and tiles.

As a large piece of pottery, the failure rate is very high, and the firing is also difficult, but now that the pottery pipe has been made, I didn't expect that there was a problem with the bricks and tiles. Huge strips of bricks and glazed tiles were needed to build a house, but the bricks were too warped and the tiles were so out of shape that they couldn't be used at all, which left the potters scratching their heads. Tang Ge couldn't help this kind of problem, and he didn't know anything about it, so he could only let the potters try to make a small amount of trial production first, and slowly test it to see where the problem was. After the problem is completely solved, we can start firing in large quantities.

Finally, the problem of accommodation for the clansmen and slaves working on the construction site should also be solved. As the weather begins to get colder, tents are not good at keeping them warm, so they must be given warmer and firmer shelters, otherwise it is easy to fall ill and cause a large attrition of the workforce.

In desperation, Tang Ge could only let people build a large number of dormitories. The so-called dormitory is a large bunk, adobe wall, thatched roof, a long large room, and bunk beds made of logs, which can accommodate 100 people in one room.

In this way, problems were constantly discovered, problems were solved, and stumbling was continuous, but the work of building the city was still in full swing.

The wooden rail car will send the stone down again and again, after simple processing in the stone factory, transport it to the planned city, fill it into the foundation that has been dug up, and as the car after car of stone is buried under the foundation, the place where the ditch used to be everywhere gradually becomes smooth. After the foundation was laid, the bricks and tiles were finally fired, and a number of "sample rooms" began to rise from the ground.

The style of these two-storey buildings is uniform. The first floor of each building is four rooms plus a stairwell. The master room is a living room, with two bedrooms on the left and one on the right, while the leftmost one is divided into two, one half is the bathroom connecting to the master bedroom, and the other half is the kitchen with a separate door. The room on the far right is next to the staircase, and the stairwell is also the bathroom for this bedroom. On the second floor is a row of corridors, which are also four rooms, and as for the use, Tang Ge is too lazy to plan. In addition, each building has a small courtyard to facilitate the expansion of the clan according to their preferences.

By the time the first snow fell, the main buildings and public facilities in the city, plus a small number of sample houses, had already been built. This brand new city is also the only city in the world to have four gates, corresponding to two long crossroads paved with bluestone. The Cross Street divides the city into four equal areas, and at the intersection of the Long Street is the wide Flame Square. The square of the flame is in the shape of a circle, with a square pool in the middle, in which living water is introduced, and through the control of the inlet and outflow of water, the water in the pool is always in a state of fullness, and in the middle of the pool, there is a huge pavilion, the center of which is where the flame will be placed.

To the north of the city center line, on the left is the public facilities, with a huge long stone conference hall, a canteen, a banquet hall, and even a bathhouse. There are several entertainment facilities for the tribesmen to gather and chat, and on the right is a warehouse for the tribe to reserve supplies. Granary, armory, and future sword workshop.

To the south of the centerline are a dozen or so neatly arranged single-storey two-storey buildings with long strips of stone and blue tiles and white and gray joints, and a vacant lot that will be used as a courtyard in the future, arranged in a row next to the cross street. Tang Ge's future home is among them. Compared with the spacious and magnificent conference hall and the beautiful Flame Square, these buildings are actually the pride of Tang Ge.

First of all, there are enough rooms in this kind of house, and the Banpo dolphin people have one building per family, even if the population is relatively large, these rooms are enough to use. Secondly, the design of these rooms is reasonable, and they are all blue brick paving, and there are wide doors and windows, although they have not yet been installed, but in the future, after installing exquisite carved doors and glass windows, they are absolutely magnificent, and the house is also bright, Tang Ge also designed a fireplace for each room, so that even in the coldest winter, the clansmen can sit around the warm bonfire and enjoy life comfortably. Moreover, there is a wide courtyard so that the tribesmen can expand their houses in the future, and even more so, he is considering whether to build a water tower on a high place and then connect each house with running water pipes.

Originally, Tang Ge wanted to use burned bricks to build a house, but later found that bricks were not easy to burn, and if you built a house with bricks, you had to burn cement as a binder, otherwise the brick walls would not be strong enough, and finally all of them were changed to blue striped stones. The blue-striped stone used in these buildings of Banpo dolphin is very particular, not only the polishing of the workmanship is neat, the size is consistent, but also there is a tenon structure of each other, after a wall is built, it is a whole, it can be said that it is not too skillful. However, the polishing of the blue-striped stone was too slow, which also seriously slowed down the construction of the city.
