Chapter 64: Wooden Oxen and Flowing Horses
Now, the rhythm of the battle is more handed over to the kobold himself, and several numbered company commanders 025 horse pawns, 002 Teemo, 015 Mary Sue and others have been given a lot of freedom of action - in fact, it is just digging pits, building houses, and shooting black guns.

Liu Jingtian ran around without touching his feet - he had to go back to the Lizard Fortress to buy fat cattle!
I didn't have a tooth extracted for a few days, and I felt guilty...... Is this the legendary M constitution?
Now he is also tired, after the port overbuys, the price of livestock in the vicinity began to rise, and it is often out of stock...... Fortunately, Zekland went to war, although the dog head and the demon were all squatting with each other, but they could also brush ten or twenty heads every day.
As a result, Liu Jingtian had to run wildly at both ends, in case the corpse expired, wouldn't it be a waste......
As a big slave owner, the only advantage is that you don't have to run your own ......
The hard-working commander of the Double 12th Company personally led the team to row a boat for him, and the distance between the two places of several hundred kilometers is not a joke...... No wonder, those CEOs are going to get a private jet one by one.
Lying on the boat, listening to the cow panting of the two dozen poor insects behind him, Liu Jingtian sighed: Although the old man does not have a private jet, he still has a private yacht, although it is a dog's power......
Because it often runs at both ends, the Double 11 and Double 12 transport companies in the swamp have been changed.
Now they imitate the ancient post station system, setting up dozens of stations along the way, and if necessary, they can carry people like a relay race, rowing boats at full speed from beginning to end, much faster.
For example, passenger Liu Jingtian rushed from Station 1 to Station 2 and took the Double 11 clipper, and when he arrived at Station 2, the Double 11 clipper stopped to catch his breath, and Liu Jingtian changed to the Double 12 clipper and continued to soar......
With this improvement, it only takes three days and nights to go from the Lizard Fortress to the Thousand Caves Hill, on the other hand, the human side has been using a muddy dry road that has been opened up for hundreds of years, and it takes half a month each time.
Even with this convenience, Liu Jingtian is still not satisfied - although the transport and delivery of the courier is faster than before, but after all, it will take three days, and 150 teeth have been wasted, which is nearly a kobold musket company-well, he usually pulls out the teeth himself on the road, and the teeth actually have a little shelf life, and they can still recruit dragon tooth soldiers for a day or two at night, but if the time drags on too long, the probability of failure will be higher and higher......
Can you do some bulk material transportation? I just need to wait for the fat oxen to deliver it in the hills of the Thousand Grottoes.
Anyway, it's not difficult to build some flat-bottomed boats, let's do it!
In this way, the kobold people built a small fortress with soil and cement little by little, connecting the thousand caves and hills with Zeklan, and the number of people was also in Liu Jingtian's endless tossing, steadily increasing the population by more than ten or twenty people every day.
A week later, at the Lizard Fortress shipyard, another strange ship was launched - this boat was 2.5 meters wide and 8 meters long, with a pointed head and a square tail, and the shallow bottom was completely flat, and the draft was only 30 centimeters.
Just to ensure the course, a bunch of longitudinal wooden strips were added to the bottom of the ship, a bit like the wing knife of a fighter jet, so that there would be no consequences of turning in circles at every turn.
Because the swamp water is shallow, the draft is only 30 centimeters, and the rudder and other structures are nothing special.
But what is different is that it has a lot of small wheels on both sides - it looks like propellers, but on the side of the ship.
This is the black technology - pedal wheels!
Now, the kobold hasn't come up with a bicycle yet, but the technology tree has long been lit up, and it's not trivial to make a "dog power light steamer".
A group of kobolds sat on the seats on both sides, like stepping on bicycles, pedaling the small wheels on both sides of the fly, and the flat-bottomed boat moved forward steadily, and the speed was not bad!
Liu Jingtian briefly experimented - stuffed eight cows, the place was quite rich, enough to put some forage and other things.
"The plan is passed! It is named the 'Muniu-class' inland river transport ship, which can carry up to 4 tons and is driven by 20 kobolds, although the speed is not fast, but the transportation efficiency is three times the tonnage of rowing boats!"
As a result, the Lizard Fortress began to mass-produce 'Muniu-class' transport ships, and the previous river rowing boats could be eliminated and sold for money, and these 'Muniu-class' square heads and brains are very similar to traditional Chinese-style ships, and the cost is naturally cheap - there is no need to build those ribs with complex arcs, and the plates can be used directly.
With the 'wooden ox', there will naturally also be the 'flowing horse' -- the shape of those inland rowing boats was changed to a slender structure like a dragon boat, and then the pedals were installed, and the dog's head was desperately stuffed into it, and a kind of small boat with an average speed of 15 kilometers per hour appeared.
If the relay is delivered 24 hours a day, you can run a round trip in two days and nights...... Of course, in order to avoid hitting the reef, the swamp channel has to be dredged......
Looking at the shipyard that was in full swing, Liu Jingtian's mind was enlightened: can he be stationed in the Thousand Caves and Hills by himself, and then send 50 cows here in the harbor every day, so that there is no need to run twice!
Now, if you summon the kobolds with all your might, you would have to kill 50 cattle a day—though it would be impossible to buy that many—that's the capacity of six boats.
And with such a slow boat, it is impossible to run one round trip a day. The estimate is conservative, about two weeks to run a round trip, six boats to shore every day, then six times fourteen, eighty-four boats, each boat twenty kobolds, this will require 1,680 koheads......
Forget it, the old man still runs at both ends, it's a big deal to pull out a wave of teeth halfway, anyway, the teeth have a shelf life of half a month!
As a result, the output of 'wooden cattle' decreased greatly, and the output of 'flowing horses' increased sharply......
A month passed in a flash. The traversers lived a peaceful life, except for the one who was on the verge of madness on the permanent ship.
Zekran at peace, Zekran with never-ending battles, kobolds and demons lurking.
Number 025 Ma Qianzhi, leading a company of kobolds, has occupied an entire slum for more than half a month.
Here, almost every house is in ruins, and from the outside, there is no sign of people. Inside, there is a hole - almost all the courtyards have been dug out of the tunnels, and two hundred kobolds lurk everywhere, silently watching every grass and tree.
"A row of Wang, is there any movement today?"
"There is no Wang, company commander, probably we have caught too many platoons, and the demon refuses to come Wang!"
"Damn Wang, the other two platoons haven't opened for a day, so I can only use that trick to kill Wang ......"
