The construction team of the valley is mainly divided into several large blocks, and some of them are in the center, busy building circular high-rise buildings, which are also the most important landmark buildings of Li An breeding base.

Some of the next parts are busy making cylindrical columns of different heights, and the manufacture of these columns is very distinctive, first using bundled steel bars to make a cylindrical frame, and then applying concrete material around the frame, so that after the concrete is dry, a solid column is ready, and after that, it is necessary to carry out proper camouflage on the surface of the column, so that the column looks more like a tree, and even, you can also match the column with a small number of branches and leaves, and hang some fruit.

Not only should the columns be camouflaged, but the most central landmark building, Ang Lee also intends to disguise it appropriately, disguising the high-rise building of more than a dozen floors as a steep mountain, so that it can blend in with the surrounding scenery and appear softer.

The main reason why these columns should be manufactured on site is that the air corridor designed by Li An is too high, the highest position is as high as fifteen meters, and the columns must be two or three meters higher than this height, even if the shortest column, the height requirement is six or seven meters, such a length of finished products are not sold in the market, and the difficulty of transportation to Lishan is also very large, it is better to let people who understand this aspect of technology, bring raw materials to the valley here for on-site production, so as to avoid transportation problems. Let the project progress more smoothly.

It takes a lot of space to pile up a lot of building materials, it also needs a place to make columns, it also needs to build temporary shelters for artisans, and it is necessary to keep some transportation routes, so that a large open space is needed, and because of the construction, these occupied open spaces will be greatly damaged.

Before, it was overgrown with weeds, but after it was occupied, all kinds of weeds would be severely damaged, and the land would become more compact due to the squeezing of heavy objects, which was very unfavorable for the growth of plants, and it was likely that this piece of land would become difficult to grow plants.

However, these are the inevitable problems encountered in the construction process, which are completely unavoidable, and even if some losses are caused, some methods can be taken to make up for them in the later stage, so as to minimize the losses caused by these situations.

For absolute safety, the column must be buried in the soil to a depth of one or two meters, otherwise, there will be a risk of collapse, and in order to be more stable, after the column is buried in the soil, it is also necessary to pour a large amount of additional concrete around the column buried in the soil, so that the bottom of the column becomes more stable, in order to save costs, the concrete can also be replaced with bricks, and the effect is not much worse.

At the same time as some craftsmen made the columns, the deep pits on the planned route also began to be excavated, these pits are more than one meter deep, the deepest has a depth of more than two meters, and the diameter is only a little more than one meter, and there is no need for too thick a diameter, which is completely unnecessary.

After all, the stage of Datang's industrialization is still in its infancy, and the ability of machinery is not as strong as that of later generations, and many places need manpower to supplement, but the addition of machines can indeed greatly improve the efficiency of labor and make the digging action much faster.

According to the drawings designed by Ang Lee, the pit digging team was divided into four groups, sharing four machines, each responsible for one line, one by one, and could dig more than a dozen deep pits a day.

"Butler, this progress is still a little slow! Is there not enough manpower? ”

Li An personally came to inspect and was not very satisfied with the progress of the three-day project.

"What Ah Lang said is that there are only more than 100 people, and it is already good to be able to do it so quickly, or I will add more manpower."

Li An nodded and said: "It's because I didn't think it through, then add another hundred people, we must complete it as soon as possible, the sooner the better, don't be reluctant to spend money, our family is not short of money." ”

"Yes, Aaron."

Li An personally walked to the front of a big pit and looked at the depth, which was much higher than his height, if this person fell into it, it was estimated that it would be difficult to climb up, so that even if the column was more than ten meters high and placed in it, it would not collapse, which made Li An very relieved.

Because the columns have not been done yet, and the deep pit is also in the process of excavation, the steel beams and planks are not very much purchased, after all, the site is limited, as long as it can be supplied.

In order to make the steel beam stand firmly on the column, the column is not completely cylindrical, but has a small branch perpendicular to the main trunk, so that it looks more natural and has a better effect than the real tree.

Moreover, the height of the column is fixed, and the living tree will continue to grow, so when the tree continues to increase some height, the support point needs to be adjusted accordingly, otherwise, it will cause the deformation of the suspension bridge.

"Such a big pit, if it rains, it will be more troublesome, and people will disappear if they fall into it, so do you need to add a lid."

After Li An saw the deep pit, he suddenly thought of safety.

Although there are no children here, the pit is too deep, even if the adult falls down, there is no shadow, in case of rain, it will drown, and once the rain is soaked in the pit, it will seriously affect the next construction, and it is also necessary to spend manpower and material resources to drain all the water in the pit, and then the construction of the column can be carried out.

"It's been sunny these days, so it shouldn't rain!"

The housekeeper muttered, and then said, "Since Ah Lang has explained, then I will arrange it and let them prepare dozens of lids." ”

Li An nodded and said: "With these covers, the rain will not be able to enter the deep pit, and in addition, the surrounding area of the pit must also be completely encircled, and there can be no gaps, otherwise, the surrounding rainwater will still pour in." ”

In fact, the general rainfall is not very deep, but because the rainwater in many places flows to the low-lying places, in this way, it has formed a great depth, as long as the soil around the deep pit is compacted, even if there is no cover, the water in it will not be very deep, a rainfall can have five centimeters is good.

If the rainfall is more than five centimeters, it can be called a heavy rain, and the thickness of five centimeters can only submerge the soles of the feet, and will not leave too much water in the pit.

But in order not to affect the construction of buried pillars in the future, it is still necessary to cover a small umbrella that can cover the rain on the top of the deep pit, so that the quality of the construction will be more guaranteed, after all, even if there is only five centimeters of stagnant water, it is also a great impact on the construction.

The construction team is busy with construction, and the soldiers in charge of the security are patrolling the mountains in groups of three, they want to ensure that there are no large wild animals in the valley, especially carnivorous wild animals, which is a very serious threat to the life safety of the construction workers.

In three days, dozens of soldiers had found dozens of wild beasts in the huge valley, but they were all not very large beasts, such as wolves and earth dogs, as well as smaller foxes.

"Not bad! Caught so many beasts in three days? There are also two cute little foxes, which will be brought back to the other courtyard later, and there are many people in the family who have never seen a living fox? ”

Li An walked to the area where the beasts were held, and was very happy to see the beasts being captured alive in front of him. This is enough to show that the ecological environment of the valley is very good, otherwise there would not be so many wild beasts, and since there are so many wild beasts here, it seems to be enough to show that there are more herbivores here, at least many times more than carnivores, otherwise, how can so many carnivores be fed.

However, in the future, a breeding base will be built here, so that these beasts cannot exist here, otherwise, the wild boars and pheasants raised by Li An will not be produced, and when the time comes, there will be no wild boar on the table of the Beijing restaurant.

The wolf skin is low-grade, Li An doesn't like it very much, and for the fox skin, Li An likes it very much, and the guards under his command naturally know this, so they peeled off the skin of the fox they shot and cleaned it and handed it to Li An.

In the past three days of patrolling the valley, they shot a total of four fox couples, and also captured a couple alive, and whether it was alive or the fox that was shot, it belonged to Li An, and the wolf skin and wolf meat were given to the soldiers.

However, looking at these fox skins and foxes, Li An suddenly felt that there should be foxes in the valley, because these are adult foxes, and foxes will not have cubs? This is obviously impossible.

According to Li An's memory, foxes give birth to cubs from February to May every year, and a litter of foxes is at least three or four, and if there are more, there can be five or six, or even seven or eight are possible, and the litter production is still very high, that is, when the two adult foxes are shot and captured alive, their offspring cubs are still in the nest.

However, as long as they are separated from the protection of adult foxes, it is difficult for these young cubs to survive, and the chances of survival are almost none, and they are either starved to death or eaten by the rest of the beasts, and the probability of starvation is the highest.

Foxes live in forests, grasslands, semi-deserts, and hilly areas, living in tree hollows or burrows, going out to feed in the evening, and returning home until dawn. Therefore, it can prey on all kinds of mice, hares, birds, fish, frogs, lizards, insects, etc., and also eat some wild fruits. Because it mainly eats rats and occasionally attacks poultry, it is an animal that has more benefits and less harm; As they pounce on their prey, their long, hairy tails help them balance, and the white fur on the tip of the tail confuses and distracts their sight. The image of the fox in the story must not be the same as the behavior of the fox

Foxes are also more cunning animals, they are very cautious, so they can be considered cunning enough, for example, if a fox's cub is found by people and other wild animals, then they will choose to move that night to prevent accidents at night.

But no matter how cunning the fox is, it is not as cunning as humans, otherwise, the fox would not have been captured and shot alive by humans.

At this moment, Li An saw two live foxes, and suddenly had an idea, that is, to find all the little foxes as soon as possible, and then bring them back together to raise, and when they grow up, they can skin them and make clothes.

"Didn't you find the little fox? If there is a big adult fox, there will be a little fox. ”

Li An looked at the guards beside him and asked.

"The valley is too big, and for three days no beast nests have been found."

The guard said.

In fact, this valley is not very large, at most it is a few square kilometers, but the terrain here is more complicated, the terrain is undulating, there are a large number of trees and herbaceous plants, shrubs are more numerous, and there are many strange rocks, so that the hiding of animals and plants is of great benefit, and many animals will hide their nests in the most hidden, the most inconspicuous places, so as to avoid being discovered.

"Foxes like to put their nests in tree hollows and earth burrows, and if you don't look carefully, you won't find them, by the way, when I entered the door just now, I saw two guard dogs, which can be used."

Li An said.

"Ah Lang is going to use the dog's nose to find the fox's lair?"

Li An nodded and said: "That's right, human eyes are not necessarily reliable, but the dog's nose is absolutely very reliable, and the two dogs are divided into two groups to find it slowly, and I believe that they will definitely be able to find the fox's den." ”

Soon, the two watchdogs were brought over, and I don't know if it was because they were afraid of dogs, or for other reasons, the two foxes who were imprisoned in the cage were scared, and suddenly, the air was filled with a very strong fox smell, so that Li An couldn't help but cover his nose, although the guards did not have such exaggerated movements, but their expressions were also very uncomfortable, only the two watchdogs barked excitedly, and they didn't seem to feel that the fox smell was bad at all.

"I will personally lead a group to the east to search, and your group will look west, and whoever finds it first will be rewarded."

Ang Lee spoke, and let the dog's escort walk in front.

The watchdog had already smelled the fox just now, so as long as the same smell was found in the jungle, it would definitely be tracked up close, so that it would not be difficult to find the fox's nest.

The vegetation in the valley is very lush, and it is very difficult to walk in many places, and the distance between trees is less than the thickness of a person's body, and if you want to go over, you can only cut down trees, and even if the distance between trees is slightly larger, between these gaps, there are also a lot of thorns, which is very difficult to walk, and the path that Li An is walking at the moment is cut out little by little by the guards with Tang knives.
