When Uncle Zhou returned to Harmony Village again, he found that after leaving for half a month, his own ant pets had become sperm. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw a group of acidophilus ants entering the village from outside the village, each with a piece of wood on its back.

What the hell is this?

Zhangji King Kong is confused!

Even the 'Shadow' felt strange, shaking the monster's head in the direction of the acidophilic ant queue. It was the village's lumber yard. The climate in the Black Forest is bitterly cold, and the production of trees is slow, but the timber stock is very large and of particularly good quality.

More than 2,000 people currently live in Harmony Village. Regardless of the construction materials, manufacturing, and ironmaking needs, a large amount of wood is consumed every day.

Lumberjacks are the most employed profession in the village, earning a good salary in terms of performance-based wages. Many immigrants don't have any special skills, so they simply work hard to cut wood, which is also a way to survive.

Regarding the matter of acidophilus ants running to the logging site, Zhou Qingfeng did not ask Inisha through the 'Holy Light' network. He himself rode over on the 'Shadow' to see what was going on.

There are several wind-powered sawing machines in the lumber yard, and the fan blades of the windmill can be seen whirring from a distance. The hinges driven by the fan blades rattled and drove the wheeled saw blades on the sawing machine to rotate rapidly.

Saw blades, like saw blades, require fairly tough steel to manufacture. Ordinary blacksmiths are completely unable to produce this thing, and it can only be done by repeated forging with a forging hammer and meticulous quenching and tempering, which is absolutely 'high-tech'.

In order to make the sawing machine more powerful, the saw blade is equipped with a curved rod to connect to a 30-kilogram flywheel to store energy. ZWZ for the flywheel is also produced with great effort, and the 'high-precision' machining of the woodworking lathe can ensure low friction.

These things look inconspicuous, and even feel simple after being taken for granted, but they are very rare. As far as Zhou Qingfeng has read in the 'Otherworldly History Book', there are only a few civilizations that can make this set of equipment, and all of them are destroyed.

"It feels like I'm dying." For this set of 'high-efficiency' equipment, Zhou Qingfeng is both very cool and apprehensive. He is gathering all the characteristics of those extinct civilizations bit by bit, and they are irreversible.

Seeing Zhou Qingfeng appear on horseback, the workers in the lumberyard nodded their heads one after another. Everyone is used to the sudden appearance of this 'chairman' or 'master', and there are no rules, just do your own thing.

The sawing machine is a valuable asset of Harmony Village, but it does not rain in the Black Forest and is placed in the open air. There are three shifts 24 hours a day, and the sound of sawing is incessant day and night.

In front of the sawing machine is the logging site, where hundreds of lumberjacks pull large saws and wield axes to cut down wood that has grown for more than 100 years. This is a dangerous job that requires special command and coordination, otherwise death is common.

Seeing a lot of chaos and chaos in the Black Forest, Zhou Qingfeng likes to watch this kind of teamwork picture. When a group of five or six lumberjacks shout trumpets and cooperate with each other, the uniform labor has its own pleasant rhythmic beauty.

"Good, very good." His Excellency the 'Chairman' visited the site and was very satisfied with the working method of 'cooperation within the group and coordination outside the group'. "This is a disciplined team, and it's comfortable to look at."

Discipline is a habit, and logging in the Black Forest used to be difficult. The population of individual human settlements is too small, often only about one or two hundred people, and too many people are consumed for food and security, and fuel is obtained by collecting dead branches and leaves.

In order to reverse the free-spirited work in the village, the 'Holy Light' network controlled by Sophia played a major role. When people have a tacit understanding of work in continuous coordination, even if Zhou Qingfeng leaves to explore, there will be no big problems.

Through effective collaboration alone, the more than 2,000 people in Harmony Village can give full play to the production capacity of 5,000 or 6,000 people in other regions. Coupled with the popularity of iron tools, it is a great improvement and progress in life.

The more wood is provided in the lumber yard, the warmer the village will be, which in turn will improve the quality of labor. In the past, the way of life of hiding in the bed as soon as it was dark is slowly changing, and the working hours are obviously increasing.

So Zhou Qingfeng is very satisfied with the orderly work of the logging site. It's just that today's lumber yard has a new situation, and more than half of the timber that is usually transported by human carts is now cut into small pieces through the pre-processing of sawing machines, so that the ants can carry it.

Hiss...... who came up with this idea?

Most of the timber in the lumber yard is used as fuel, and when it is fuel, it needs to be used in small sections, and the weight and volume are not large. Each acid-erophilus ant carries a piece of wood of four or five kilograms, which is easy to carry.

The foreman of the lumberyard came running over and explained, "Master Hugo, the ants came and carried it themselves. ”

What...... ants volunteer to work?

"We'll give them some rations." "But it was originally necessary to rely on human or animal power to transport it, and it was more economical to transport ants."

Pulling a cart is heavy work, and a working horse has to eat more than ten pounds of feed a day, and it is not enough to eat alfalfa grass alone, but must eat beans. For the same job, the ants only need half the consumption. They are good to feed, and the horses are too delicate. ”

Horses are not only delicate, they are too delicate!

Even the most ordinary service horses are purchased for twenty gold coins each. They eat a lot, and they can't be too tired, and they must be taken care of by a special groom, otherwise they will lose weight and die of illness at every turn—twenty-five gold coins will be gone.

Uncle Zhou is not raising horses, but a group of ancestors!

It's great that acidophilus ants can replace some of the horse's work. Zhou Qingfeng asked the foreman, "How many acidophilus ants can transport a service horse?" ”

"A cart of wood drawn by a servant horse is at least five hundred pounds, and it is impossible to pull any more. The same amount of transport would take about fifty large ants. However, the horses can only be driven for half a day, otherwise they will die of exhaustion. Ants, it doesn't seem to have stopped. ”

It's impossible to keep stopping, and ants also need to rest. But even if the transportation capacity of the two is the same, Zhou Qingfeng is equivalent to forty or fifty more high-quality service horses who eat less and don't need to serve too much. That's a great deal.

Otherwise, when converted into service horses, it would be a lot of money just to build stables and recruit grooms.

"Okay, good, very good, my family's 'big red' has made meritorious contributions." Zhou Qingfeng originally disliked 'Da Hong'. It will see that people can work hard, and he will be happy and laughing. He turned his horse's head and prepared to enter the village, when he saw ......

An ant guard flew through the air with a diaphragm wing, as if it had a basket attached to its back.

Eh, ......, what is this?

The ant guard flew away all of a sudden, and Zhou Qingfeng couldn't catch up to see it. He could only contact Inisa in the village on the 'Holy Light' network and ask what had happened to 'Big Red'.

Inisha said lightly: "'Big Red' felt bored to stay underground, and crawled out to occupy a room by herself. Anyone who paid it something to eat, and it asked the ant guards to help transport some light goods.

Now its biggest employers are Mondino and Justen. The latter requires collecting large quantities of time-sensitive magical materials from the Black Forest. These materials are often in small quantities, but they need to be disposed of immediately and cannot be hoarded.

In the past, it was only possible to rely on wizards or priests to collect it themselves, which was very inefficient. Now send an apprentice to take some villagers out to collect, and then let the ant guards transport them back to Harmony Village on a regular basis. After all, they can fly, it's much faster, and it's much more convenient.

'Da Hong' likes to do this, and now people don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and they rely on themselves to support themselves. It's much better than you, who run around and don't care. ”

Regarding Inisa's teasing, Zhou Qingfeng was stunned after listening to it - and this benefit? Does it count as Ant Express?

Look at the Knights of Light
