Chapter 74: New Pea Cannon
For the next two days, Chi Nan was placed on this city wall.
However, after the construction of the city wall, the workers were temporarily out of work. Old Mka asked cautiously: "My lord, if there is nothing to do, I will let those workers go back." ”
The workers looked at Chi Nan with a look of hope, they didn't want to lose their jobs. This job is a job that allows them to feed their whole family, and they really don't want to lose it. It's true that the territory has now been replaced with flour, but when others want to get flour, they can only rely on doing all kinds of work, not to mention the trouble, and it is not stable.
Chi Nan waved his hand: "How can there be no work, isn't there still two intersections, and the city wall will be built over there." No, build a smaller outpost fortress, I'm going to block all paths. ”
The reason why this is done is because the road will be built in the future, and after the road is repaired, these places must be defended, otherwise the enemy will easily enter this place. Even in the future, Chi Nan wants to surround the territory with a city wall.
"Just like here, after the fortress is repaired, the road will be built in Hongshaling. Be sure to fix the road for me. If you want to build roads first, Chi Nan has a very deep understanding of this in his heart.
Lao Muka is now completely convinced of Chi Nan, and whatever the lord says, he just needs to follow suit.
So, a group of workers followed Lao Mka and started a new job again. "Now it seems that we don't have enough soldiers, and it seems that we still have to find a way to recruit more. ”
"Don't worry, my lord, in the past, there were few soldiers because we were strictly selected according to normal soldiers, and with the weapons of adults, there is no need for the quality of the soldiers themselves, and it can be easily expanded. ”
"I don't have to worry about you doing things, and these things will be left to you. In the next two days, Chi Nan made every effort to complete the front wall first. At this time, the city wall is integrated, and the whole is a huge reinforced nanmu. There's a huge platform above, the kind that can easily run horses. The jagged walls ahead are very thick, and it's safe to hide behind.
Even above, the branches of the Nanmu trees are controlled to grow, intertwining with each other above, turning into an intricate canopy, with a large number of leaves to block the sun and rain. When it rains, there won't be any dampness underneath. Even if it is an enemy's long-range attack, it will be blocked by this layer of branches, and it will be difficult to fall.
At this time, Chi Nan was very satisfied with the city wall, is this the city wall that his territory should be. The only drawback is that you still need to maintain it yourself every few years, after all, this nanmu grows a little unnatural.
At the gate of the city below, there is a gate that is deformed from the wood of Chinan, and it will not be deformed again even if it is dried. The gate has four floors, which are directly embedded in the previous four layers of trees, and are very heavy. It's usually open and closes when needed. Not to mention ordinary people, even if it's a siege weapon, don't even think about breaking it.
With the construction of the city walls, Chi Nan felt as if his luck had come. The new pea cannon test is gradually taking shape in its own hands. After a lot of experiments, Chi Nan finally completed the new weapon.
The newborn pea cannon is a bit thicker, and the back of the hammer is larger and heavier, which makes it easier to stabilize the center of gravity and make the beans fired better accurate.
At the same time, Chi Nan also found a way to control the emission and absorption of air from the beans. In the future, as long as it does not absorb full air, even the vines that pull the cart will not be launched in advance, causing the beans to not exert their power.
If you want to launch, you can only do it one at a time, with an interval of two seconds. Every time, the pea cannon is at its most powerful. After a battle, the previous thirty soldiers had become real soldiers, and they quickly got started.
Chi Nan watched as this soldier continuously launched a pea cannon, hitting several big trees in front of him at a rate of two seconds. Each bean sent out will directly penetrate the tree, leaving a large hole. Many big trees were even directly interrupted, and this kind of power shocked the surrounding recruits.
"Well, this new pea cannon bean has adopted the form of a nut, the beans are very hard, so there is no problem against the beastmen now. Chi Nan laughed triumphantly.
"According to this performance, there is really no problem. Although the berserkers are rough and thick, their defenses have a limit after all. Such an attack should cause the beastmen to break bones or even be shattered. ”
The evaluation of one leg is still very pertinent. Chi Nan smiled with satisfaction: "Since this is the case, let's fully equip it." "Chi Nan is ready to get rid of the old pea cannon and plant new ones in large quantities.
At least this kind of pea cannon, Chi Nan couldn't think of a way to continue to improve it for a long time.
"My lord, my subordinate has a proposal. The subordinates wanted the recruits to take the pea cannon and go hunting in the back forest. On the one hand, it can provide some meat for our territory, and on the other hand, it can also exercise the head and let them see blood at the same time. "Thinking about the performance of the soldiers for the first time, I have a headache in one leg.
Chi Nan nodded: "You can do it, I haven't eaten meat for a long time." "This place is backed by the Death Forest, and even if it doesn't go deep, there are often wild beasts and demonic beasts running out, and the beast resources are very rich.
But because of the danger, few people dare to provoke it, and they haven't eaten meat for several days. I've been busy, and I really haven't thought about it, and I don't have meat to eat, and I feel uncomfortable thinking about it.
So this request for hunting, Chi Nan immediately agreed. One leg nodded, and then began to divide the task. Veterans lead new recruits, and the thirty soldiers they trained before are all veterans.
Now every veteran has three recruits under him, and the number of soldiers in the territory has reached one hundred and twenty. This number has reached the current limit, and the total population of the territory is now less than 2,000 people. Although more soldiers can feed themselves, then no one will do anything else.
Now the young men in the territory, except for the soldiers, are those workers. It can be said that if this continues, it is not a good thing for the development of the territory. But the current situation in the territory can only be like this.
There are times when Chi Nan wants to turn everyone into soldiers, and there is a threat from wild beasts and monsters, and the power in his hands is always insufficient. "Hey, when will I be able to rise to the bronze level? Chi Nan muttered to himself.
While shaking his head, Chi Nan still has to find something to do, so let's continue to experiment with his various plant effects.
