Chapter 25: Heavenly Work
Winter is deeper, nights are longer, and snow is thicker. I don't know how many times the voice of the system has sounded, and I can't remember how many Chosen Ones fell in the first winter of this battlefield continent, Tang Xiaobai was deeply touched by this, it was another recognition of the cruelty of the battlefield continent. Guo Jia also has a deep feeling for this winter, because he has a deeper understanding of Tang Xiaobai. He vaguely knew that the lord came from a mysterious world, and everything here might be just illusory to him, but Tang Xiaobai's concern for the villagers was so sincere.
"The little cub in the back kept up with me, and I had to transport all the materials to the destination before dark, otherwise I would give Lao Tzu a northwest wind one by one." Xu Chu's voice came from a distance, attracting Tang Xiaobai's attention.
He looked for the sound and left, only to see that the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Army were walking in groups of ten carrying thick iron shirts, and Xu Chu was alone carrying an iron shirt wood of the same size, which made him a little curious. To tell the truth, Guo Jia is in charge of the affairs of the village, and he, the lord, doesn't care much these days, but is thinking about how to develop next.
"Zhongkang, what is this for?" Tang Xiaobai caught up with Xu Chu and asked.
Xu Chu heard the voice of the lord, and said that he was about to put down the iron shirt wood to salute, but Tang Xiaobai stopped him, he smiled innocently and said: "Lord, the military advisor asked us to send this iron shirt wood to the east corner of the village." ”
"Oh? Why is that? ”
"I don't know, I just know that the carpenters and blacksmiths in the village have been summoned."
"Oh, so? Then I'll go to the military advisor, by the way, if the soldiers are tired, let them rest first. ”
Under the grateful gaze of the Tiger Guard soldiers, Tang Xiaobai walked quickly to the east corner of the village. Before he arrived, he saw a group of soldiers surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, inside, carpenters and blacksmiths were discussing fiercely, and Guo Jia was also listening quietly.
"Fengxiao, I've been spending the winter behind closed doors recently, Ah No, I've been thinking about it behind closed doors for the past few days, what's going on?"
"See the lord." Guo Jia saluted first, and then said: "Lord, after these hours of work, the Blue Battle Crossbow has been manufactured, and after testing, it can penetrate the hemlock tree from a distance of 800 meters. The more Guo Jia spoke, the more excited he became.
"Oh, show me!"
The villagers all got out of the way, and Tang Xiaobai saw a delicate war crossbow in front of him, about 3 meters long, the crossbow body spread out 4.5 meters, and the arrow was 4 meters long.
"Good! Very good! With this blue crossbow, our village's combat effectiveness will be even higher. Tang Xiaobai was very happy, touching the polished and smooth iron-shirted wood, and a kind of courage arose in his heart. Sure enough, with a powerful weapon, people will become courageous, and only with a powerful weapon can they not be bullied.
Guo Jia continued: "So, I just thought, this blue battle crossbow can't be placed on the ground, an arrow tower should be built, and the blue battle crossbow should be put on it to achieve the greatest effect." ”
"Oh, I see. That's a good idea. Tang Xiaobai understands that he wants to build an arrow tower for his feelings, and he likes it. Just like he used to play tower defense games, he always likes to build a lot of arrow towers.
"So what's the outcome of the discussion now?"
"My lord, look at this blueprint." After that, Guo Jia took out a drawing, which depicted in detail the shape and structure of the arrow tower, about 7 or 8 meters high, far beyond the height of the village, into a shape similar to a triangle, and there was a space on it to prevent the blue crossbow.
Tang Xiaobai's brows furrowed, as if he had grasped something, and then slipped away quietly, making him blurry. But in general, this kind of arrow tower, he is a little not satisfied.
Guo Jia frowned when he saw Tang Xiaobai, and then asked, "Lord, is there a problem?" ”
Tang Xiaobai nodded, and then asked, "Who designed this arrow tower?" ”
Everyone looked at the crowd and saw a young man about 16 or 7 years old walking out timidly, thinking that Tang Xiaobai was going to blame him, and said weakly: "Village, village elder, I designed it." ”
Tang Xiaobai looked at this little boy, a face he hadn't seen before, it should be one of the thousands of villagers who was randomly refreshed, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Huang, Huang Tiangong."
"Heavenly workmanship? Ingenious, good name, no wonder you can design such an arrow tower, yes, I will order you to be the chief urban defense designer of Baitang Village in the future. ”
As soon as Tang Xiaobai's voice fell, he heard the system's prompt.
[Know people well, discern talents, whether to consume 30,000 gold coins to complete the appointment. 】
Uh, Tang Xiaobai was stunned for a moment: "Confirm!" ”
After Tang Xiaobai chose to confirm, he only saw a golden light flash on Huang Tiangong's body, and after his little face was stunned for a moment, he knelt on the ground in surprise and said, "Village Master Xie!" ”
"Well, Tiangong, you have such a talent, it's really good, but I think this arrow tower still needs to be improved. Also, in the future, you will call me the lord like the military advisor and the general. Tang Xiaobai said.
"Please teach the Lord!"
Tang Xiaobai said his thoughts to Huang Tiangong, and his suggestion was to set the arrow tower in a gradually shrinking cylindrical shape, so that due to the large area below, the arrow tower could be built higher and more stable. And at the top, it's a mushroom-like shape, which at first glance looks a bit like an upright Armstrong cannon, ahem...... In fact, it is more like a round tower in medieval Europe, but Tang Xiaobai has changed some here, such as setting up a miniature version of the arrow tower on the top floor of the round tower, and placing a brazier on it.
Huang Tiangong is worthy of being a design genius, and just by relying on Tang Xiaobai's not very clear description, he almost completely drew this defensive building, and Tang Xiaobai was a little shocked at first glance.
"Sue, lord, this is a god's work." Guo Jia took that kind of design in surprise, and his hands trembled slightly, such a military defense structure is really unheard of. Tang Xiaobai, seeing Guo Jia's appearance, the wonderful feeling that he had already slipped away instantly grabbed his tail, and he was slowly pulling it back, as if it was getting clearer and clearer.
That's right!
Tang Xiaobai suddenly realized!
He had always thought that this battlefield continent was a game, and even though the cruel reality prompted him again and again, when those blueprints appeared, he still led his ideas into a wrong alley.
However, this is not a game, this is reality, if you really want to judge by games, then this is also a game world with a huge degree of freedom, in this case what is the greatest ability of human beings?
Create!
In fact, he doesn't need those drawings, he just needs someone who can draw them, and with enough materials and time, he can create blueprints, build powerful defensive structures, and even create technology.
