Chapter 47 Hunting and Expedition
Opening the diamond treasure chest the night before, Qu Mao was so excited that he didn't fall asleep very late.
At midnight, he sent two consecutive messages on the lord's communication channel. On the one hand, he notified Fuzhi and Lai Dima of his situation, and on the other hand, he also asked Lai Dima about his new products. He also explained to Lai the props he urgently needed.
Go directly to Lai Dima to buy resources. The speed of development has already given Qu Mao a taste of the sweetness. He can take off in place, so why work hard?
On the second day, Qu Mao summoned the army again in the yard outside the lord's hut. Since he couldn't go to the resource point, he followed Su Yan's suggestion to go hunting with the whole army to quickly resolve the food crisis.
Qu Mao is going to take Su Yan and the whole army to go out hunting, and at the same time check a more detailed map of the island to see if there is a place by the sea where ships can be released safely.
According to Qu Mao's original idea, at least 10 leaders must be arranged for each existing resource point to carry out production, and even two shifts must be arranged. This means that every time a resource point is captured, there will be at least 20 extra leaders. Indeed, as Su Yan said, it will quickly overwhelm Yi Village's food supply.
He wanted to take Su Yan out this time. Qu Mao mainly wanted to give Su Yan some experience, and also wanted to let Su Yan, an internal affairs officer, better understand the terrain of this deserted island.
Today is a transition. Qu Mao will take Su Yan and the army to the west coast today, walking in a straight line, only about five or six kilometers back and forth, and in the next few days, they will follow the west coastline all the way south.
It is at least 20 kilometers from the lord's hut to the south seashore, and it is obviously unrealistic to go back and forth in one day.
But before departure, Su Yan asked Qu Mao to reorganize the army and not to take all the soldiers away. After all, the territory of Yi Village is still small, and now there are zero-level logging farms, zero-level quarries, metal mines, and crystal mines. Farms, gemstone mines, and even a few territorial dwellings are outside the territory, so enough defensive forces must be left to patrol, and food must be delivered to the citizens on duty in the field.
Qu Mao was right after thinking about it, so he arranged for 3 first-tier spearmen, 3 first-tier sailors, and 4 first-tier knives to stay in the territory, and he only brought 2 second-tier hunters and 1 third-tier marksman. Chaffield, 3 Tier 2 Archers, 1 Tier 2 Halberd, 2 Tier 1 Spearmen (Zhang Da, Zhao Pan), 2 Tier 2 Throwing Ax Warriors, 2 Tier 2 Stone Throwing Soldiers, 13 in total The warrior, himself and Su Yan formed a team of 15 people.
Su Yan arranged two shifts for all the resource fields. The zero-level logging field and the zero-level quarry were all on duty with 10 leaders, and the metal mine, crystal mine, and gemstone mine were arranged in one shift. 15 were added, and the number of on-duty leaders was increased to increase production efficiency, and Sunan was allowed to stay in the territory to deal with emergencies.
Su Qiaoer applied for the protection of two first-rank spearmen, and continued to search for wild fruits and vegetables in the woods around the territory.
Jia Sixie and Franklin Jin are still cultivating new arable land or serving the corn fields that have been planted. Currently, Qu Mao and Su Yan are counting on the first season of corn to mature and provide more corn seeds for the territory of Yi Village.
If the poor-quality cultivated land is not maintained and crops are not planted, it will not be long before it will be restored to open space. Now the open space around the lord's hut is expanding every day, but the expansion of cultivated land obviously cannot keep up.
Chafidel has successfully advanced to a third-tier sharpshooter. Of course, Qu Mao followed suit and asked Chafidel to take off all the equipment of the second-tier archer before changing jobs, and added a set of second-tier archer equipment out of thin air. .
In the future, if there is a military camp in the territory, a new second-level archer can be trained from ordinary citizens, which can save money for a set of equipment.
Because Zhang Da has not yet reached level 19, he cannot use the first-level spearman advanced certificate for the time being. It is estimated that after a day of hunting outside today, Zhang Da will meet the advanced level requirements when he comes back.
The first-tier spearman and the second-tier halberd soldier are the same type of troops, and the second-tier halberd soldier with ordinary qualifications could have been appointed as the captain, but Qu Mao thought that Zhang Da could also advance to the second-tier halberd soldier after he came back at night, so he had to wait until tomorrow Appoint Zhang Da as the team leader.
When passing by the bamboo forest, Qu Mao said: "Su Yan, I will take you to continue heading south to the southern seaside, which means we may have to camp in the wild.
I think the bamboo here can be used to make some spare bamboo strips. If you can use cloth to sew a marching tent, it will be better than sleeping in the wild at that time.
With the size of our current army, I think at least three tents are needed.
You have one tent, it doesn’t matter if it’s smaller; my tent is slightly larger, and I can arrange for Chafidel, Zhang Da, and Zhao Pan to live with me; the other ten soldiers live together, so the tent should be larger.
Don’t know if we have enough fabric? "
Su Yan said: "Of course it is enough, my lord, the harvest from our hunting today can provide the territory with meat that can be eaten for at least three days or even more days.
In the evening, my subordinate asked Qiaoer to bring a few female citizens, and together with me, we sewed three tents by the bonfire in the kitchen of the lord’s hut. The bamboo strips can also be arranged by Suber in advance. "
It happened that Su Qiaoer was nearby, accompanied by two spearmen. Su Yan immediately called Su Qiaoer over and made arrangements.
Qu Mao nodded and said: "Since you said so, then I am relieved, we will continue to search forward, and we should be able to reach the seaside due to the west at noon, and then return the same way.
I estimate that at least enough meat for the territory should be prepared for a week, otherwise we would not be able to support us until our return. "
Before noon, Qu Mao led the army to hunt along the road and came to the west coast.
Su Yan looked at the difference between the top of the cliff on the west and the sea level, and was very disappointed. Obviously, this place is not suitable for a military port or a wharf.
But Qu Mao is not worried. The deserted island is surrounded by seaside, so he can always find a suitable place.
When the army returns in the afternoon, the beasts along the way are refreshed again.
The sun has not completely set, and Qu Mao and Su Yan have led the army back to the territory of Yi Village. A total of 12 black bears, 6 tigers, 32 wild wolves, and 12 hares were harvested throughout the day. Most of them were decomposed by the soldiers on the spot. Cutting, even so the meat has accumulated a lot.
The beasts that Qu Mao summoned Ke to kill were directly disassembled by the system. After all, although the army has been hunting all the time, they had to prepare meat. Qu Mao found that the corpses of the beasts were directly placed in the backpack, which can increase the life expectancy of at least three days. Meat storage time.
Just the meat killed and decomposed by the soldiers, as long as the meat does not rot, plus the fishing traps in the creek and the fish in the reservoir in the territory, there is no problem in supplying all the citizens of the territory for 7 days, so Qu Mao can Feel free to take the big team out to explore.
