Volume 1 Prehistoric Wars Chapter 79 Python Knife
Edge of the Abyss.
The North Shadow Fish commanded calmly.
All the old and young in the snake cave, the Wa people must be evacuated, and all the affairs here will be taken over by him.
An old man with white hair came with a bamboo cane.
Beiming Wuyu bowed his body and said respectfully: "Third grandfather! The Lord has commanded me to pick you up! ”
"Good boy! It's hard work! The old man nodded, and then couldn't help but instruct: "The things arranged by the Lord must be taken seriously, only he can take us out of the predicament!" ”
Beiming Wuyu showed a look of reverence: "Third grandfather, don't worry, Wuyu already has a deep understanding of this. ”
The old man nodded, saying no more, his gaze falling not far away, where rows of huge wooden frames stood.
"I was commanded by the Lord to build twenty lifts in five days for a thousand men."
"Lift?" The old man walked over, stared at it, and touched it with his hand: "I once saw this thing in an ancient book, and today I saw the real thing, what a ingenious work!" ”
"Yes! Only the Lord could have thought of such a miraculous thing. The North Shadow Fish sighed.
The old man nodded thoughtfully, and then he asked, "How is this thing used?" ”
"You stand on top of this plank, and then you reach out and pull the rope, and at the end of the rope is a "bell," and the person on it hears the bell ringing and pulls you up. The North Shadow Fish explained.
"Such a big plank, there must be more than one person to pull!"
"We've tested it, and there's no problem with carrying twenty people!" The North Fish replied.
"There are so many people, can you pull it up?" The old man couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, the design of the main is very ingenious, according to the male wood, the use of pulleys, which greatly reduces the tension." Beiming Wuyu immediately explained: "Gong Zhimu is the person in charge of the equipment, and the Lord has taught him a lot of things, so it can be said that he is half an apprentice of the Lord!" ”
"Then you have to work harder!" The old man was quite meaningful.
"Our Northern Underworld disciples are also very good, and my brother can be regarded as half an apprentice of the Lord, and he is responsible for making iron." Beiming Wuyu took off the axe he was carrying from his waist and handed it over: "Third grandfather, look, this is what my brother made." ”
Then Youyu pointed to a millstone-sized pulley next to the lifting platform: "This is also what they made!" ”
"That's good! You're in for a treat! The old man nodded: "Your generation is really enviable!" It's like us, we've spent a lifetime in vain! ”
The old man sighed, then stood on the lifting platform, stretched out his hand and pulled the rope, and the lifting platform slowly rose.
Stable and safe, the old man commented on it in his heart.
A few minutes later, the old man appeared above the abyss, and a young man walked up to him and smiled: "Hello! ”
"Hello!" The old man replied with a polite greeting, and then said, "The weather is really good today!" ”
The youth didn't seem to understand, just smiled.
A young girl ran briskly: "Grandpa, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
"Feng'er, my good granddaughter, come and help grandpa go!" The old man smiled.
Bei Mingfeng obediently hugged the old man: "Grandpa, I heard that all the pythons below?" ”
"Yes!"
"I heard that a python can swallow a person in one bite?"
"If you swallow a man, you can swallow even a cow!"
"Then aren't you afraid?" Bei Mingfeng asked curiously.
"At first, I was scared to death, for fear that those guys would suddenly wake up and swallow my old bones in one bite, but later, a few of the offspring boys went to steal a few snakes to fill their stomachs when they had nothing to do, and by the way, they also honored my old fellow, I just think that the snake meat is delicious, and I can't remember that they are still terrifying monsters." The old man replied as he looked around.
He remembered that the area used to be densely packed with trees, but now, it was the rows of tree stumps.
"Push!" Not far away, more than a dozen young people were pushing an enlarged version of the wheelbarrow, on which was placed an iron tool, judging from the fact that the wheels were rolling on the ground, this iron tool was not light.
"What is this?" The old man asked curiously.
"They're pushing a cart!" Bei Ying Feng replied.
"I recognize the car, it's painted in the book, and I'm asking about the iron tool."
"Oh, that's part of the python slasher!" Bei Mingfeng pointed not far away, where there was a tower of more than thirty meters: "This iron tool is mounted on it." ”
"Python slasher?" The old man was a little puzzled, and Bei Mingfeng immediately explained: "The lord said that the giant python's body is too big to be cut with an ordinary sword, so he invented this python knife. ”
The old man looked curiously around the python knife for a while, and he roughly understood that the huge iron weapon was pulled into the air by the rope on the elevated shelf, and then stuffed the body of the python into the gap below, and then released the rope, and as soon as the huge chopping knife fell, it could divide the python into two.
"The Lord is really all-encompassing!" The old man was amazed.
"yes!" Bei Ying Feng nodded in agreement.
……
Lao Fang looked at the map, which he had redrawn, with a coverage area several times larger than the original one, and much more accurate in detail.
The food, clothing, shelter and transportation of 25,000 people made him feel that he was not playing a game, but a game playing him.
Of course, he is no longer in the mentality of playing games, and only occasionally remembers that he is indeed playing games, and he only has such a sigh.
According to the consumption rate of wild boar, there will be more than ten days, and the food will be out of food.
However, in terms of food, he is not worried, he has already arranged it, and the next step is to open the snake cave.
He was worried about housing.
He stuffed pregnant women, children, and other people who could not do heavy work into the territory of the wild boar forest, and he set up more than 200 wooden huts that could accommodate a hundred people on a flat land, and placed them in it.
In order to prevent fire, all the walls and floors in the wooden shed were brushed with a thick layer of mud by the old party, and the old party was still not at ease afterwards, so he ordered all the people not to use torches in the wooden shed.
But the winter is too cold, and the cold wind penetrates through the cracks in the wall, making the people who live inside feel very cold.
The old man had to order someone to lower the height of the inside of the wooden shed again to the point where it was just enough to accommodate ordinary people, and in addition, he got a large amount of dead grass and stuffed the cracks in the walls.
With this measure, the wooden shed is no longer so cold, but the fire ban is stricter, and the old side adopts a dormitory management system, and ten people are selected from each wooden shed to serve as fire ban law enforcement officers.
However, it has not had much effect, and these people basically do not communicate in words.
As a result, Lao Fang had to draw out ten more people from the young people of the Northern Underworld, who had been consumed not much by various positions, and let them be a little more fortunate, teaching the children language and writing on the one hand, and each of them managing more than 20 wooden sheds.
The old party knew that once one of these wooden sheds caught fire, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He also ordered 200 large vats with a diameter of three meters in the "clay center", placed them outside the wooden shed, and then ordered people to fill them with water in case there was no water to extinguish the fire.
Among the more than 10,000 people, there are still many people who are too weak to do heavy work, they are tortured enough by this half of the winter, they can't eat, can't sleep, and huddle in the cave all day long and shiver, so when the old man came back, he had lost half his life.
But after a period of abundant food and clothing, they gradually recovered.
The old side decided to give them another half a month to recuperate, and then they would be sent to a place where there was a shortage of manpower.
In addition, some pregnant women did not plan to let them sit dry, and most of them were handed over to the "textile center".
As for the children who had reached the age of three, all of them were captured by the ten youths of the Northern Underworld to read and write.
That's all the old party can do for them.
More than 10,000 people are only temporarily resettled in this way, and the territory is too small, and more than 10,000 people live in it, which is definitely not suitable.
Therefore, the old side has to make a long-term plan.
Lao Fang took out the previous map and looked at the five circles he had drawn earlier, and now, there were already two circles in his hands, and there was also an ape-man valley, although it was not hard to take, but sooner or later it would be used by him.
The advantage is that the target is small and it is not easy to attract the attention of the big forces, and the disadvantage is that transportation is extremely difficult.
Not to mention the problem of road construction, just between these five points, there are many forces larger than the wild boar herd, once the materials in a certain place are lacking, in the process of transportation, they are destroyed and blocked by these forces, and the consequences are unimaginable.
Lao Fang turned his gaze to the vast plain again.
……
There have been a lot of things going on lately, although the old man has sent him more people, but these people can only do coolies, and they have to do things with a little technical content.
Fortunately, in recent days, the old party assigned him a young man from the Northern Underworld to come over and act as his assistant.
The young man's name is Bei Mingqi, and unlike Gongjimu, he belongs to a managerial talent.
If a matter is too complicated, he will take it apart and turn it into a few simple things, and then tell others to do it.
This is the talent of Bei Mingqi, and when the public lost the wood and reported it to the old party, the old party was dumbfounded.
Lao Fang remembered the name, and he decided to let Bei Mingqi finish this period in the hands of Gong Yimu, and then reposition his work.
Such a talent is very valuable, because many times, the subordinates are always easy to follow the orders of the superiors, and they are always the first choice, like Bei Mingqi, when one thing is ordered in the past, he himself looks a little like a cheater, but in fact, he has completely handed it over to his subordinates to digest.
In this way, he not only exercises the ability of his subordinates, but also improves the quality of his entire team.
What Lao Fang values is that he will take the initiative to do this kind of turnover work, and things will never be stuck with him, but let the whole team digest it.
The higher the level of the team, the greater his role.
Gong Zhimu's recent work is very important, and Lao Fang needs Bei Mingqi to assist him.
"Send the windmill!" Gong Yumu sighed, the things he was doing recently were getting more and more complicated, and he felt a little unable to keep up.
……
"Report to my lord, the rest of the exits of Cave No. 1 have been blocked, and according to your orders, put a thousand bundles of firewood in the open space at the entrance, three hundred bundles of dry firewood and seven hundred bundles of wet firewood." The North Shadow Fish saluted the young man who had descended from the old side.
"Well done!" The old man nodded and casually praised the North Dark Fish.
A few days ago, he sifted through the caves in the snake cave and numbered them, and the caves that could be numbered were no less than the size of a football field.
According to the comprehensive survey of the old side, the entire snake cave is composed of twenty-four such huge caves, and the largest cave is equivalent to the area of a stadium of 10,000 people. Suffice it to say, the python has hollowed out the entire bottom of the Mystery Forest.
It is impossible to count the number of pythons with a diameter of more than 50 centimeters, and the old side initially estimated that there were 100,000 pythons, but now it seems that this number may have doubled.
These pythons must die!
Lao Fang strengthened his belief, as soon as spring arrived, so many pythons broke through the ground, then the first to bear the brunt of the Lao Fang gathered here more than 20,000 people.
Under normal circumstances, he couldn't resist no matter what. High walls, traps are useful for four-legged creatures, but nothing for pythons.
The giant python has become a disaster, and the old party has to get rid of it.
"You light this dry wood, don't go in and burn it, and when it burns to a certain extent, seal the entrance to the cave, don't leave a gap, and wait until this time tomorrow, you open the mouth of the cave, and then use the fan to send air into the cave!" After a few hours, you send someone in! The old man commanded.
He was skeptical of this method, and he thought why not just burn the snakes to death, or kill them one by one.
But he knew that his Lord must be wiser than him, at least to see far.
On this issue, Lao Fang also thought about it a few times, and burned it with fire, not to mention whether the oxygen in the cave is sufficient, and not to mention whether the giant python will wake up when it is heated.
In addition, kill one by one, in case a certain giant python wakes up, I am afraid that it will become difficult to clean up.
So after some thought, Lao Fang chose the current method.
The incomplete burning of trees consumes the oxygen in the cave and produces a large amount of charcoal to suffocate or poison these hibernating pythons.
This way of dying can not only ensure that their flesh is not damaged, but also kill the pythons in the entire cave without a single soldier.
It's very cruel, in a cave, hundreds of thousands of snakes were killed like this, if it had been a long time ago, the old party would never have dared to do this, for fear of being punished by God.
But now, he is incorporeal and invisible, what is he afraid of?
No matter how terrible the curse is, it can't befall his head.
So, he does whatever he wants, at least in this game.
Of course, this method is still in the testing stage, and it remains to be seen tomorrow how effective it will be.
……
The next day.
Beiming Wuyu called a few people, opened the cave that was sealed yesterday, and then used the so-called "blower" to blow into the cave for a long time.
Then he called a young man, lit a torch, pinched his nose and walked into the cave.
The torch is not extinguished, but what does it mean?
The old man didn't explain the principle to him, and he simply followed the Lord's orders.
The old man told him that this step must not be saved, otherwise it will be cool soon when he enters the cave.
At first, he was still a little suspicious, but when he got to the cave, he saw that all the pythons had returned to heaven.
He chose the largest one from the cave, and then called more than 20 people, and used ropes and flat poles to forcibly lift this behemoth with the largest diameter, more than one and a half meters, to the lifting platform.
Then a group of people were dumbfounded, how can a giant python be put on the lifting platform when it is so long?
In the end, it was Beiming Wuyu who patted his head: "Coil!" ”
But his men didn't understand what he was saying.
He sighed, twisted a small flower snake out of the cave, and coiled it into a plate in front of his men.
The subordinates understood, after a lot of effort, the giant python was already like a bunch of giant flights, coiled on the lifting platform.
Beiming Wuyu gasped for breath, pulled down the bell, and then waited for a long time, the lifting platform was motionless.
Beiming Wuyu was annoyed, and rose up from another lifting platform, and then saw five young men, holding back their strength to feed, pulling the rope in front of the lifting platform.
There is no fish in the North Hell, he can't cry or laugh, he can't even ask for help if he can't pull it, how does this head grow.
So, Beiming Wuyu directly called thirty people, pulled the long line, and forcibly raised the lifting platform by several meters, and then with a loud click, the top of the lifting platform was too heavy, and it was directly crossed.
Beiming Wuyu and a group of subordinates stared at each other, and even he didn't know how to deal with it now.
……
In the end, the North Shadow Fish pulled a giant python with a diameter of less than one meter up from the abyss below.
The six men pulled the rope, pulled the heavy python knife, and raised the knife to the highest point of the path.
Beiming Wuyu hurriedly commanded a group of people to put the giant python's head on the knife holder.
When everything was ready, the six people let go of their dreams, and nearly half a ton of python knives fell freely, and with a click, the python's head moved.
Just when the North Stygian Fish was stunned by the power of the python sword, a huge convoy came from the direction of Hump Mountain, and the leader was none other than his cousin, the North Styx Mountain Lake.
The convoy was long, and every car was empty.
"Brother Fishless! It's a thousand cars, you click! After saying hello, Beiyin Mountain Lake went straight to the point, and the old party transferred him out of the fuel center line and asked him to make a cameo appearance as a transportation supervisor.
"What are these cars?" The North Shadow is a little puzzled.
"I'll transport snake meat back to the territory, where there are more than 10,000 mouths, waiting for food!" Beiming Mountain Lake said with a smile: "The Lord said that it is going to snow recently, let me go back more at a time." ”
"There is a lot of snake meat, I'm afraid you won't be able to pull it back." Beiyin Wuyu laughed.
At this moment, a voice came from beside them: "Wuyu, I forgot to tell you, these python skins must be peeled off well, preferably completely, this is a good thing!" ”
Beiming Wuyu immediately became restrained, and he bowed down and said, "Obey!" ”
