Chapter 54: Valley Farm
In fact, although the kobold's food inventory is not rich, it is still no problem to survive for a year and a half. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBecause of the repeated ecological disasters and the killing of native species, the kobold has been enough to eat for a long time just from the dried meat, and everyone on the other side of the river has not explored, so there must be a lot of fish that have slipped through the net.
But after all, it is Liu Jingtian's dragon tooth soldiers, and everyone's enthusiasm for food is in the same vein and will never be satisfied......
Halfway through the summer, the dungeon base has developed spectacularly.
The four six-pointed star-shaped bastions have been completed one after another, but the output of artillery is limited, and the firing ports are more than half empty. However, the kobolds who made catapults one after another stood in various places of the fortress, which can be regarded as a small addition.
Together, they guard about 40,000 acres of terraced fields, which are now being intensively cultivated by kobolds.
In the terraces, every few tens of meters, there is a guard tower and lightning rod, on which ballista and sentry are arranged. These watchtowers are neatly covered with kobold territory, killing many native creatures who steal vegetables.
In order to protect the farmland, the kobold arranged a large number of ballista carts on the outermost defense line, and as a result, they accidentally became 'road rage', killing the local creatures who migrated in groups and harvesting a large amount of meat, which made people speechless.
Now, because of the need for irrigation, a large number of canals and waterwheels have been built, and a little arable land has to be occupied, and the surface is in a mess, but this is a sacrifice that must be made in order to have a good harvest.
A dark purple 'young dragon' was lying on the top of a sentry tower, looking at this vibrant territory with satisfaction, he had no dragon horns, and his head was somewhat similar to the alien queen, this thing was naturally Liu Jingtian.
'Catcher in the Rye' Liu Jingtian Children's Shoes, found a problem!
"Since I opened a sub-base, wherever I leave, there will be chaos, why is it so coincidental?!
"Stay in the dungeon base, it's very calm here, but something happens to the volcano base! Go to the volcano base, so the dungeon base has an accident! This is not scientific...... I remember that in a certain point of the novel, accidents will only happen where the pig's feet are, just like stepping on a landmine, but how can I do the other way around here, where I don't go and where the accident happens?"
Such an esoteric academic question, with Liu Jingtian's wisdom, is naturally impossible to guess. But what if this phenomenon is not accidental?
Liu Jingtian thought about it carefully, and was extremely frightened: "In case of misfortune, there must be a base that goes into trouble, then what should I do? Next, should I be stationed at the main base of the dungeon, or will I go to supervise the mining of the volcano sub-base?"
In fact, there is nothing to worry about, the food problem, life is at stake, and there is no room for loss! But iron ore and sulfur are not so significant, of course more is better, and less can be improvised.
"The autumn harvest is too important to explain, let's squat in the dungeon!"
Probably this world is so evil, with Liu Jingtian personally in charge, there are not so many accidents in the agriculture of the kobolds.
There have been so many rounds of mass extinction in the valley, there are no more wild beasts crying and shouting and crashing into the defense line, and the kobolds are now focused on building water wheels and taking night school to make up their homework.
At present, the dog's head is mainly used to carry water for irrigation with a pedal-operated keel waterwheel, a simple thing arranged in a large row along the river.
It is barely enough to serve a few square kilometers of farmland, but the height of this thing is usually only one or two meters, and it is not to think about irrigating the terraces at high places. I had to put a drainage truck on each level of terraces.
Liu Jingtian, who is tireless in destroying people, feels that beating his daughter-in-law on a rainy day - idle is idle, it's time to climb a science and technology tree!
"It doesn't seem like the right time for a steam engine to carry water, right? Kobolds haven't been educated yet, and they're too scrap metal...... Then get some waterwheels and windmills, and you can get some animal power to come out......"
Another round of tossing......
Hydraulic waterwheels are relatively easy to build, even if the diameter of the water wheel is as high as more than ten meters, it is just a matter of making the structural design stronger. The problem is that only the riverside can use water power, which is not universal enough.
The wind power is not much harder, and the kobold can even build a sailboat, and he will not be stumped by this thing. It didn't take a few days to figure out the principle of the ancient Chinese vertical windmill. Unfortunately, there is not much wind in this valley, so it's better than nothing.
Even so, the use of the two windmills still saves a lot of labor, and the kobold do not have to tread water wheels day and night. And in the future, there will only be more and more places where 'power' will be needed ā grain processing, cutting wood, blowing air for steel mills, powering lathes, and so on......
Only then did Liu Jingtian realize that he had almost forgotten an important scientific and technological line!
"Machine tools, power, drive shafts, gear sets, gearboxes...... Okay, some of them will be busy in the future, so what is the principle of Jenny's spinning machine? Do you want to just drum up the steam engine?"
While the two bases were busy, a group of kobolds were also silently operating......
The former big red man, the commander of the cavalry battalion Timo, has been under a lot of pressure lately.
Since becoming a cavalry battalion, the frequency of sorties has become less.
It's been a couple of fights, and I've been on the bench and haven't had much of a chance to perform, which isn't good. Moreover, with that stupid quail-like stupid bird, after eating 'wolf medicine', it mutated into a large man more than one meter high, and the cavalry became worthless......
Chocobos are stupid, the training method is very simple, as long as you hang an earthworm in front of your head, you can start running stupidly, and it is still a damn omnivore, very easy to raise, not to mention the ability to reproduce like a hen, what a disaster!
It's just not a way to live......
After thinking about it, Teemo felt that it wasn't me who was at fault, it was all the mount that didn't give up!
Since the horses are not powerful, let's find a more powerful mount, don't we!
And it has to be unique, it can't be a mount that can steal jobs after the dungeon creatures mutate!
So, having nothing to do as a cavalry battalion, he took the initiative to ask for a bow and ran to the woods at the foot of the mountain to serve as a bodyguard for the lumberjacks.
Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong. The cavalry was overly prepared: they brought with them a lot of goats that were good at running mountains, and a lot of strange tools......
Timo looked at the snow-capped mountains above his head and said viciously, "Isn't it just riding a bird?
He turned around, waved his paws, and immediately a group of kobolds, the best riders, led the goats, followed him closely. So, the group of kobolds walked into the distance together, and in front of them was the towering snow-capped mountains......
