Chapter Seventy-One: Conceiving a New Place to Live
For building the city with clay bricks, Chen Mo felt a little distressed.
Although there is a lot of clay, Chen Mo feels that such a large project as building a city will definitely not be enough according to the clay currently in reserve.
The city must also be built with bricks, preferably stones! Clay is only an auxiliary material.
"Chief, you see, just to build the houses that our tribe needs, it takes so many clay bricks, how much will it take to build a city of the scale you described?"
Pi's thoughts and ideas are very good, it's not that he doesn't support it, but he feels that it is too cost-effective to sacrifice the current development of the tribe and build the so-called city.
Chen Mo also understands the meaning of Pi, but people's desires are like this, as long as the beginning is ignited, it will be endless!
Just like the covenant bubble in the later life, as long as it succeeds once, it will be endless.
Don't ask me what I'm doing, and I won't tell you how many people meet to go to the bathhouse to take a bath together!
Chen Mo could have forced Pi to make the clay bricks he needed, but Chen Mo, who was deeply influenced by socialism, could not do such a dictatorial thing.
"Hey, chief, hey, young man, hey, little silent......" Pi, who was trying to persuade Chen Mo, saw that Chen Mo was in a daze, and patted his hand for a long time without responding.
"Well, what's wrong?Uncle Pi, you go on, I'm listening!" Chen Mo came back to his senses for a moment and looked at Pi and said.
"Oh, well, you certainly didn't listen to it just now, so I'll repeat it to you, Chief, let's ......" Pi recounted what he had just explained.
"What do you use to replace clay bricks? Stone? Can quarry but has no tools! Even if you have tools, you can't make standard stones! Even if you have stones, there is not enough labor!" Chen Mo didn't listen to Pi talking, and still thought about building the city by himself.
The construction of the city is not the protection of the community, the protection of the community is simple, build a circle of walls, put a few sentry boxes, then the basic outer protection of the community will be completed!
No, the wall? Chen Mo seemed to have an inspiration, and he didn't have any scruples to educate him, turned around and ran towards Jing's construction site.
"Hey, chief, hey, where are you going?" saw Chen Mo stand up and run outside, and he was startled.
"I'll go to Lang for a while, and I'll come back later to continue listening to your education!" Chen Mo didn't reply, and ran directly to the construction site on the basin.
"What, chief, are you going to Lang, take me with you!" Xiao, who had just walked into the workshop, saw Chen Mo running in front, threw the bamboo basket on his back, and ran after Chen Mo to the construction site.
Chen Mo gave Jing a task yesterday afternoon, and today Jing led the construction team to squat on the ground to draw graphics, which is the figure that Chen Mo drew last night, but it was very abstract after Jing's hand.
"Hey, Jing, what's this?" asked one of the clansmen, pointing to the square stripes drawn on the ground.
"Hmm, I want to go down!" the chief said what kind of urn city!" Jing thought for a long time before replying.
"And what is this, why is it still recessed?" asked one of the clansmen, pointing to the sign of the city gate.
"This is the city gate!" replied Jing.
"Then this city is not big? Dozens of bricks have been built! Just such a little drawing, how fast it can be built! Why do you want so many bricks, Uncle Pi is still unwilling to give them. Another clansman asked curiously.
"Yes, the chief drew me a similar figure to this one, and he said that there were a lot of bricks to be used, so let me get more of them. Jing replied honestly.
"It must have been the chief who made us build a little more. Is it for such a small place to tweet? Then one is enough!" said one of the clansmen, gesturing to himself.
"Don't worry about it so much, the chief says let's do it, let's do it, how easy it is!" Jing said, throwing the branch in her hand and clapping her hands.
Everyone quickly set up the city according to the size of the ground, and Jing led the team members to return to the tribe when they met Chen Mo and Xiao, who were rushing in a hurry.
"What are you going to do?" Chen Mo looked at Jing who was rushing back curiously: "Didn't you build a city?"
"Chief, it's too easy! Can you get some difficult tasks? The task you ordered yesterday has been completed!" Jing complained to Chen Mo.
"Huh?" Chen Mo saw the building block-like clay bricks piled up on the ground, and was a little embarrassed: Is it that he can't express himself clearly or is Jing's IQ in arrears?
"Chief, the figure you drew is so big! I built it according to the figure you drew!" Jing saw that Chen Mo's face was not good, and quickly explained.
"Okay, Chief Ben knows that you built according to my drawings, and I made a mistake in my expression, so I came to personally supervise the work this time!" Chen Mo saw Jing with an aggrieved face, and it was difficult to reprimand, because his expression was very clear, and the primitive society did not have the appearance of a city, so Chen Mo did not have expectations that Jing could build a city alone.
Chen Mo had already planned on the way here, since the city could not be established, then establish a city first, and the area would be more than 2,000 square meters for the time being. A place of residence that can accommodate 13,400 people.
Chen Mo squatted on the ground, picked up a branch and began to calculate. Chen Mo's math is not good, he has a hard time doing oral arithmetic, and he writes and draws on the ground for a long time, and finally calculates it
If the area of a house is 30 square meters, then more than 50 houses can be built in the new settlement, and more than 20 people live in each house, then the new residence can accommodate 12,300 people for the time being.
This should be the case!Chen Mo thought to himself.
In other words, the new habitat has been built, so that everyone in the current tribe can live in it, and there is still a lot of spare space.
Chen Mo stood in the basin and measured the distance visually, then began to measure five hundred steps in stride, inserting a bone spear to make a mark. Turn at a right angle, take 400 steps, and plug in another one to make a mark. Back and forth four times, returning to the original place, Chen Mo circled a place of about 2,000 square meters.
Xiao Hejing and the others looked confused: What is the chief doing?
The open space outside the cave of the Sailor Tribe had been completely filled with huts, and the space that could have accommodated eight people was crammed into a dozen people. The people inside were crowded, and there was no room to turn over, and the house stinked with a fart.
Chang found Chen Mo and reacted many times, can you sleep on top of each other in a small family, which can save a lot of space. Chen Mo gave a blank look at Chang, who put forward his opinion: Old rascal.
If you want to build a new place to live, you need to have plenty of space.
Chen Mo came to Jing's side, pointed to the bone spear in the distance and began to gesture: "See, where do you go from here, build a wall." From that side to the other, another wall was built, and then the walls were linked. ”
Jing scratched her head and asked, "Chief, the wall is so long, did it fall down with a push?"
Chen Mo sighed: "Big-breasted brother, we can lay the foundation!"
"Chief, what is the foundation?" asked the next smile.
"Foundation...... Foundation...... I don't know!" Chen Mo remembered, and he didn't know how to lay the foundation.
