In the center of the lower part of the battery, the most heavily protected place, is an ammunition depot, where gunpowder is mainly stored in peacetime, and is taken out and sent to various gun emplacements once it is used, which can basically ensure that it will not be hit by enemy shells and cause martyrdom, and next to the ammunition depot, there is a grain depot, which is specially used to store food, and the things that are the core of life and combat support are basically placed in the strongest lower position.

The middle floor, which is separated from the ammunition depot, is staggered, and there is a special kitchen, which has reserved a flue to discharge the smoke from here, and a special fuel storage room, which can store a large amount of firewood or charcoal and coal, which can ensure that the personnel stationed here can be enough for two months if they cannot get replenishment.

Around the middle kitchen, there is a military room constructed, the garrison usually lives here, there are small perforations on the wall, in addition to being used as a shooting hole, but also to provide lighting and ventilation for the interior, there is a direct patio in the center of the fort, once the external perforation is set on fire or smoked, it can be blocked with a wooden plank, the patio can ensure the supply of air inside the fort, and it can also play the role of convection at ordinary times, so that the inside of the fort will not be too hot.

This design is also very ingenious, which shows that Craftsman Liu has thoroughly understood Yu Xiaotian's ideas, and has considered the internal structure and layout of the entire fort very carefully, and even the ventilation and drainage problems that Yu Xiaotian did not take into account, they also took into account in advance, which made Yu Xiaotian very, very satisfied.

Walking up again, we arrived at the third platform under construction, where the artillery was placed.

This battery has a total of ten gun emplacements, and six gun emplacements are designed for the part facing the sea to the west and north, all of which are places where heavy guns can be placed, and the place is relatively spacious, and there are two gun emplacements on the east side, and even two gun emplacements are reserved for the south side of the bay, which can place light guns under twelve pounds.

Although the heaviest of the artillery made by Yu Xiaotian is only a twelve-pound gun, when Yu Xiaotian asked them to build the fort, he still left enough margin, so that the heavy artillery position here can withstand at least 3,000 catties of heavy artillery, leaving a margin in advance for the replacement of heavy artillery in the future.

Lying on the reserved cannon hole, Yu Xiaotian looked outside, all the gun positions have a fairly wide field of vision, if the artillery is placed here, in addition to directly hitting the sea outside the bay, it is also firmly blocking the channel in and out of Jilong Bay, anyone who wants to force into Jilong Bay before taking this fort, must first be bombarded by a heavy artillery of the fort.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaotian has nothing to be faulted with, although the construction of this fort is still a little rough, and the appearance is a little nondescript, but no one can deny that this fort is a pretty good fort in terms of function and solidity, it can be attacked from afar, and it can be defended from afar, and if anyone doesn't want to pay a price, it is basically impossible to take this place.

Unless the opponent has the large-caliber rifled guns of later generations, it will be difficult to destroy this fort even with the heavy artillery of this era.

And this fort has not yet been completed, after this layer of forts is built, the top will be capped, at the top Liu Craftsman said, there will be some gun emplacements, you can place some lighter guns, at least to withstand the current sea wolf has this kind of twelve-pounder cannon is no problem, the above artillery does not need to put too much, because the upper artillery will not be affected by the firing boundary, the artillery can be moved, so it greatly enhances the density of fire in any direction.

Therefore, the construction of this fort has basically reached Yu Xiaotian's original plan, at least it did not disappoint him.

So after walking out of the fort construction site, Yu Xiaotian immediately greatly praised the craftsmen of Liu Craftsman, and ordered each of them to be rewarded with thirty taels of silver on the spot, and Liu Craftsman was rewarded with thirty taels, which immediately made Liu Craftsman and others happy and almost gave Yu Xiaotian to kneel down, thirty taels of silver This era is quite a lot of wealth, and ordinary families may not be able to earn so much in a few years, Yu Xiaotian in addition to giving them the start money, but also rewarding them so much, so that they are very satisfied, and their motivation is immediately improved a lot.

"You don't have to thank you, you deserve it, and you earn it for yourselves! I do things fairly with someone, you do a good job, I never be stingy with money, but if you don't do a good job, I won't be polite!

I think this fort will be completed in ten days at the slowest in ten days, and after the completion of this place, you will move to the opposite bank in that place, and build another fort, the structure follows this fort, it can be slightly smaller, echoing this fort, just stuck at the mouth of the bay!

In addition, this time I sent you more than 400 laborers, the speed of the project can be much faster, in the construction of the fort at the same time, you can also start the construction of Dazhai in the bay, and strive to before the end of the year, the exterior wall of Dazhai is basically completed, with a certain defensive capability on the line! What do you guys think? Yu Xiaotian said to Liu Gongtou and others.

"This is the best, what we lacked the most before was manpower, someone had to quarry, someone went to logging, and there had to be someone to pave roads, and there had to be someone to transport, and the manpower was very tight!

With the help of these manpower, this fort can be completed in half a month at most, and the manpower that is not needed can also go to quarry and cut wood first, prepare materials for the opposite fort, or go to lay the foundation first!

As for the Dazhai side, the location we have already chosen, just on the west side of the bay against the mountain, where we feel that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is more suitable for building a wharf, the goods are also very convenient, and the labor will be the least, only the part facing the bay to build the wall, if there are enough manpower, there is no big problem in erecting the wall before the end of the year!

The problem is that there are too many rainy days here, and it rains heavily in three days, so I have to stop working, and I hope that the next time the big boss sends someone to come, he will send more clothes and hats, with this thing, at least when the rain is lighter, there is no need to stop work! After Craftsman Liu won the reward, his interest became even higher, and he patted his chest and promised, but also put forward some requirements.

Yu Xiaotian immediately asked Liu Wang to write down this request, and promised to go back and immediately start preparing a large number of clothes and hats and send them here.

After watching the construction of the fort, Yu Xiaotian went ashore and went around to see the situation here, especially the situation of temporary housing for personnel.

(Update means I'm alive and the low-grade fever continues!) I don't know when Lu Dao is a head! There are two shifts today, and one shift in the afternoon! ）
