“Tang Zhen stood on a high spot and looked at the mountain Valley that was packed with people. Although they were only active in a small area, they still brought a trace of exuberant vitality to the mountain Valley. ”
“The completed three lines of defense were in a semicircle, surrounding the depression in front of the cliff with a distance of about 100 meters. ”
“Tang Zhen did not build the defense line too far away. This way, when the monsters attacked the city, Tang Zhen and the residents could hide behind the defense line and defend in an orderly manner. ”
“Tang Zhen didn’t feel any heartache for the consumption of weapons. What he couldn’t bear to see his future residents die in the mouth of monsters. Therefore, he had spent a huge amount of money on weapons and equipment. ”
“Waving his hand, Tang Zhen called over Tyson, who was commanding more than a dozen Wanderers to turn steel pipes into short javelins, and at the same time, he also called over a few brawny men. Tang Zhen began to teach them how to use the ballista and the catapult. ”
“These two great weapons of the cold weapon era were currently being produced. In order to not let down Tang Zhen’s trust, the uncultured w.a.n.g Daqing even brought his college student cousin who was involved in machinery over to partic.i.p.ate in the research and production. Now, they had already successfully produced several machines. ”
“This was the advantage of the era of technology. As long as there was technology and materials, this small workshop could even build simple planes and armored vehicles! ”
The difference in manufacturing ability between ancient and modern times was so obvious.
“Since w.a.n.g Daqing worked hard, Zhen Tang naturally wouldn’t treat him badly. Zhen Tang had raised his monthly salary to 50000 Yuan, which was definitely the top salary standard in this city. ”
The ballistae and catapults had not arrived yet. Tang Zhen had only explained and demonstrated to them to familiarize them with the operation of the ballistae and catapults in advance.
“After the ballistae and catapults were delivered, these weapons would be placed on the roofs and Windows of the buildings to attack the monsters from above. ”
“Tang Zhen had personally witnessed the might of the ballistae in Black Rock City. Therefore, he was looking forward to seeing how this weapon would be able to display its wondrous effects in a city defense Battle. ”
“After leaving Tai Seng who was discussing with his subordinates about what kind of item to use as a crossbow, Tang Zhen arrived at the bottom of the cliff at the Valley’s depression. At this moment, Murong Zi Yan was leading three women and carefully surrounding a square rock that was one cubic meter in size. ”
“This rock was the stone platform that carried the foundation stone, and it was also the sacrificial altar used to sacrifice the brain pearls. ”
“On the rock, there were lines drawn with gra.s.s juice and stone powder, filled with a mysterious and desolate atmosphere. Murong Zi Yan was holding an iron hammer and a steel stick, and with three other women who also used iron hammers, they were carefully carving out these lines. ”
“This was as delicate as embroidery, and a rough man couldn’t do it. ”
“Seeing Tang Zhen’s interest in the pattern on the stone, Murong Zi Yan smiled and introduced,””It’s said that the patterns on this stone platform have been pa.s.sed down from ancient times. If you want to build a tower, you must carve a stone platform like this to bear the foundation stone. I’ve heard my teacher say that the starry patterns on the stone platform represent thousands of worlds, and the large ball in the middle represents the land under our feet. All the worlds are centered on this land, and it is also the final home of all the souls on the stars.”” ”
“As Tang Zhen listened to Murong Ziyan’s words, he seemed to have some understanding in his heart, but he just couldn’t grasp any clues. ”
“After leaving Murong Zi Yan, who was carefully carving the stone platform, Tang Zhen returned to the cave and teleported back home. ”
“This time, they were going to w.a.n.g Qingqing’s village to transport goods. Because there was a lot of goods, Tang Zhen hired a car to go with them to his weapon production base. ”
“After driving into the village, w.a.n.g Daqing came up to him and talked to Tang Zhen about work and production. ”
“The hired villagers were loading the packed armor and weapons into the car. Everyone had a smile on their faces. They earned a piece-by-piece salary here. These days, they woke up early and worked late at night. They could earn five to six hundred Yuan a day, and they were very satisfied. ”
“As for the swords and armors they produced, they were only used as props and decorations. If someone told them that these things were really used on the battlefield, they would definitely scoff. What era was it? how could people still wear armor and wave big blades on the battlefield? ”
“After loading the car, the sun had already set. Tang Zhen bid farewell to w.a.n.g Daqing and led the way. He let the driver drive the car into a warehouse that he temporarily rented. ”
“After sending away the driver and telling him to come and pick up the car the next day, Tang Zhen began to transport the car. ”
“The five-cubic-meter s.p.a.ce was very big. Tang Zhen only used a few times to move all the armors and weapons into the cave. He then said a few words to Tai Seng and Qian Long, who were standing at the side with sparkling eyes, before he teleported back home to sleep. ”
“By the time Tang Zhen returned to the tower world, there were already five mounted crossbows that had been a.s.sembled in front of him. ”
“Compared to the c.u.mbersome and primitive ballistae, these five three-bow ballistae were redesigned using modern materials. They were easy to operate, but they were far more powerful than the original version. ”
“The mounted crossbow used a special crossbow bolt that was about 1.5 meters in height. It had an appropriate weight to ensure a sufficient shooting range, and the sharp arrowhead guaranteed its lethality. In order to ensure the accuracy and stability of the crossbow, the body of the arrow and the tail had also been specially designed. ”
“After Tang Zhen saw it, he repeatedly praised it. There were experts in every field. w.a.n.g Daqing’s younger cousin was definitely a talent. He had to find a way to make him stay. ”
“Now that the ballistae and catapults were in place, they could make other arrangements, such as planting traps, iron dysentery, and horse-tripping ropes. ”
“After another two days, with nearly 400 people working overtime, all the work was finally completed. Tang Zhen only heaved a long sigh of relief at this moment as he looked at the defensive line that had already been completely formed. ”
“However, he also knew that the challenge had only just begun. The real highlight had not yet been staged! ”
“The Wanderers who originally belonged to the valley Camp had already started to familiarize themselves with the new weapons and equipment they had received. They wore bright and solid armor and waved sharp Spears. These Wanderers, who didn’t even have a kitchen knife, were so happy that they couldn’t close their mouths for the whole day. ”
“In their words, even if they bought their entire family, they would not be able to exchange for such a set of armor. But now, the city Lord had one set for each person, he was simply a nouveau riche! ”
“Now that he had these pieces of equipment, he could be considered a nouveau riche if he estimated their value! ”
“Some people were happy, while others were sad. At this time, the Wanderers who came from outside rolled their eyes when they saw a few people walking around to show off their equipment. ”
“Seeing the guy who had dug the trench with them yesterday wearing brand new armor and holding a sharp battle blade to show off in front of them, the foreign employers were so envious that they couldn’t even describe their feelings with words. ”
“What are you so proud of? you don’t look like a country b.u.mpkin even if you wear the Dragon robe. It’s such an impressive set of armor, but when these guys wear it, it’s like wearing a bucket! ”
That city Lord called Tang Zhen was really too prodigal. He actually gave a brand new set of armor and a fine weapon to each of the dozen or so people who weren’t even wild cultivators. This set of armor would cost at least a few hundred brain beads. It could definitely be regarded as a family heirloom.
Rich people were really willful!
“””d.a.m.n, these guys are really lucky. Why don’t we have such a good life? I’m a level 1 cultivator, but I can’t even get a short blade. Aiyo, it’s really infuriating to compare people!”” ”
“The Wanderers sighed and sighed, their eyes red with envy. ”
“The Wanderers hired by the thousand Dragons had originally planned to leave immediately after completing their mission. They didn’t want to wait until the monsters attacked the city and get killed. After all, according to the experience of the Wanderers, almost no new buildings were successful, and 90% of them were destroyed by the monsters that attacked the city. ”
“However, after seeing the abundant resources and powerful strength in the valley Camp, especially after Tang Zhen displayed the armors and weapons that were piled up like a mountain, a faint trace of Hope was born in their hearts. ”
“This person had so many weapons and food, he should be able to survive the monster attack, right? ”
The Wanderers held a trace of antic.i.p.ation and began to hesitate. It was also this hesitation that made them choose to stay in the end.
“Whether they lived or died would depend on this. After all, everyone had enough of the life of vagrants. They would die of hunger, cold, or monsters sooner or later anyway, so they might as well take the risk now! ”
“Therefore, these Wanderers also joined the training team. They took the weapons and armor that they had just obtained and began training again and again according to Tyson’s instructions. ”
“After wandering in the wilderness for many years and fighting with monsters and their own kind, these surviving Wanderers had the potential to become Warriors. They learned how to operate various weapons very quickly. ”
“The catapults and ballistae had been a.s.sembled, and the Wanderers were trying to work together. Tyson and Qian Long had even come up with a few tactics based on their experience dealing with monsters. ”
“When Tang Zhen felt that everything was almost ready, he decided to start building the city! ”
