Chapter 562: Hwaseong After the Snow
After a year's hard work, the walls of Hwaseong have been built to a height of seven meters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The four huge gates, by next year, can begin to be roofed.
The giant does not have high requirements for the temperature of the four seasons, and he can still live well in the ice and snow.
But the devil ape can't stand the cold of this winter.
According to the elf's translation, the devil ape told Wang Hao that in the depths of the Black Forest, there is a place as warm as spring, and many creatures go there to spend the winter every winter.
Ever since Wang Hao knew that the Great Wilderness was a void space created by immortals, he didn't feel curious at all about the strange terrain of the Great Wilderness and the considerable temperature difference in some places.
But this year, Wang Hao told the devil ape that she didn't have to go to the Black Forest to spend the winter.
Although the seven-meter-high and thirty-meter-wide city gate cave was not capped, after three days of hard work by the giants, a row of cloud pine trunks was erected on it.
Then with the help of the clansmen, the cloud pine wooden raft was not only tied up, but also covered with a thick layer of thatch.
Although the height of the doorway is not ideal, and the giants and devil apes will touch their heads when they stand up straight inside, but the front and back are blocked, and they live in it, which is still very warm.
Humans do not have thick fur, and when they overwinter, they rely on thick clothes to keep them warm.
And under the influence of the giants, the devil ape also learned to put on clothes.
When it snowed, she and the giant hid in the doorway, looking at the white expanse outside, and were surprised to find that the clothes sent by Wang Hao could protect her from being eroded by the cold.
The first time I walked in the snow and the first time I saw the snow was also a novel experience for the devil ape.
Although Wang Hao is lazy, he will never treat his meritorious servants badly.
The devil ape and the giant are one thing, and in this year, no matter the wind or rain, there is no day of rest, and in order to speed up the construction of Hwaseong, the 800 bricklayers who work overtime every day are another thing.
Wang Hao followed the reserved staircase and climbed the seven-meter-high city wall, and then took a piece of red cloth from Wang Long's hand and symbolically covered it on the city wall, indicating that the construction of Huacheng was officially stopped because of the arrival of winter.
The bricklayers under the city couldn't help but cheer.
Inside the city walls, more than a hundred tables of delicious food were waiting for them steaming.
In the dining shed, eating hearty food, drinking fine wine, and looking at the snowy scenery outside, I have to say that it is really a great joy in life.
They have worked hard for a year, and this winter, they can use it to rest.
The dozens of Gollum who had been with the bricklayer day and night were supposed to be at this celebration.
It's just that the Gollums, who have long been accustomed to the average temperature of the underground world, can't stand the cold here, and as early as more than a month ago, they collectively moved to the Grand Canyon.
In the Grand Canyon, they can eat fresh fruits from the underground world every day, and the temperature is neither hot nor cold, and their lives are much more comfortable than in the outside world.
People's tastes are constantly changing, and the Gollum people are the same, those Gollum who grew up in the underground world, eating fresh fruits every day, suddenly tasted the barbecue brought by Wang Hao, and they immediately became in love.
And the gollums who came to the ground, barbecued and ate meat every day, and suddenly ate the fruits of their hometown, naturally they couldn't put it down.
Although the temperature of the Grand Canyon has always been relatively warm, due to the influence of habits, the giant frog king still began to dig holes, intending to make a nest for the winter.
It stands to reason that the giant frog king has made a nest, and Linglong should definitely find a place to hibernate. After all, snakes are cold-blooded animals.
However, what surprised Wang Hao was that in such a cold weather, Linglong was not only not afraid of the cold, but was more cheerful in the snow.
After a year of growth, Linglong's size has grown at an unbeatable rate, and now, its size has surpassed that of many second-level creatures, and it has begun to grow towards the size of third-level creatures.
At this rate, Wang Hao estimated that it would not be long before Linglong was estimated to grow into a super python 100 meters long and more than several meters in diameter.
Because of the increase in size, it is becoming more and more inconvenient for Linglong to stay in the new village. Now, twenty-five days a month it spends in the Black Forest or in the big rivers.
After the snow, everything is white, and the delicate skin turns snow-white almost every day, and sometimes, even Wang Hao can't find it when he doesn't pay attention.
Because of the flow, the river does not freeze, and there is no problem with the draft.
However, although the river does not freeze, the ice above the watermill is knocked twice a day.
Because the coal mine was excavated, things like coal stoves were also brought to the great wilderness by Wang Hao.
What is unfortunate is that this winter, because of insufficient preparation, the coal stoves made are cheaper than Wang Erniu's farm.
During the winter festival, Wang Hu went to Wang Erniu's farm to slaughter a few stupid chickens to make a tooth sacrifice, but after entering, he felt the warm temperature inside, and when he came back, he told Wang Hao that in Huacheng, this beast lived a better life than people!
The Winter Festival is a festival set by Wang Hao for some reason last year, and when it comes, he has forgotten that there is this festival, in Wang Hao's opinion, the whole winter, the only thing that can make him look forward to it is the Spring Festival.
However, although Wang Hao forgot these things, the festivals he said were remembered by the clansmen.
Stargazer is a profession unique to Hwaseong, and it is also a new profession in the entire Great Wilderness.
Last year, Wang Hao found a few people and asked them to watch the stars every night.
In the Great Wilderness, watching the stars is not to spread superstitious thoughts, but to find the exact number of days in a year in the Great Wilderness from the movement of the stars.
When Wang Hao saw those stargazers again during the Winter Festival, they were talking to Wang Hao with their nostrils facing Wang Hao.
No way, if you keep your head up until dawn every night for a year, you'll be like them.
And this year, they have not been without harvest.
During the Winter Festival, they told Wang Hao that during the Winter Festival last year, the stars also happened to move to this position.
After detailed calculations, they determined that the time on the Great Wilderness was exactly the three hundred and sixty-five days of a year that Wang Hao told them.
No one was surprised by this calculation, because everyone felt that even if Wang Hao said casually, it must be correct.
Because of her pregnancy, Qian Duo had a lot of inconveniences in the cold winter.
So although Qian Duo didn't want to leave Wang Hao's side, after the snow, she was still sent by Wang Hao to Zhenmo Island.
After the beginning of winter, because of the large amount of time, the training of the new army was moved from the training base to various villages.
And during this time, the selected elite soldiers became the squad leaders of the training.
Every month, these squad leaders have to go to the New Army training base to report on the results of the training in their villages, and then learn new training subjects, and when they learn them, they go back to teach the chengguan army in their villages.
After the beginning of spring, Wang Wolf will personally inspect the results of the training in each village this winter.
The ten villages with outstanding achievements will be rewarded by Hwaseong, including their entire villages, within the scope of the reward.
The ten worst performing villages will be punished by Hwaseong, along with their villages.
Under such a system of rewards and punishments, the sense of collective honor of both glory and loss drives them to continue learning.
After the winter, many things could not be done, such as the firing of brick kilns and the mining of minerals, and after the heavy snowfall, they had to stop.
However, in winter, the tribe is not without things to do.
After the winter, the arrowwood with a short growth cycle and fast formation has been harvested.
Although the blacksmiths in Hwaseong could not make weapons, under the arrow mold produced by Wang Hao with the system, the speed of making arrows was very fast.
The arrows and arrows were distributed to each village according to the number of people.
As the saying goes, there is great power in more people, and in this winter, Wang Hao finally saw the power that more people can produce.
The entire Hwaseong has a population of more than 200,000, including 200,000 in addition to the Chengguan army.
These 200,000 people, no matter how big or small, if each person installs an average of 20 arrows per day, then the entire Hwaseong can produce 4 million arrow shafts a day. In a month, Hwaseong will produce 120 million arrows.
In the past year, Hwaseong has accumulated several warehouse arrows that have finally been cleared out for use.
If this winter is calculated according to three months, then Hwaseong will be able to produce 360 million arrow shafts for the whole winter.
Hwaseong will take more than three years to build.
In three years, the entire flower city will be able to make more than one billion arrow shafts.
Wang Hao believes that with so many arrow shafts, when it is time to defend the city, even if the four city walls continuously launch rockets, the number of arrow shafts should be able to supply.
The problem of rocket consumption that Wang Hao was worried about at the beginning was easily solved in the face of absolute numerical superiority.
