Chapter 39: new bottleneck

  Chapter 39 New Bottlenecks

Su Yan's eyes lit up when she heard that she was going to purchase supplies at Yancheng Port, and then she persuaded: "My lord, let's develop steadily first. Although tools and supplies are scarce, fortunately we are not many people now, and we can barely support it. , Let's talk about it later when it becomes a little stronger.

  Besides, the wharf has not been built yet. If you go to the east coast to take out the sea boat, you will definitely run aground immediately. When you run aground on the beach, it will be more difficult for you to put it in your backpack.

  Go to the west or south of the cliff and take out the sea boat. It is more difficult for the sailors to board the boat. Maybe the sea boat will be smashed back to the cliff by the waves before the sailors have time to board the boat..."

   Qu Mao waved his hand to stop Su Yan from continuing, and he knew the truth of what Su Yan said.

  So he found the elf's machete and walked straight to the bamboo forest. Two second-tier hunters were arranged to hunt.

   There are two second-tier hunters in charge of hunting, which can indeed increase the supply of meat in Yi Village's territory to a certain extent. The number of people in the territory has increased several times in recent days, and the food supply in Yi Village has begun to be somewhat insufficient.

Qu Mao continued to summon A Ke every three hours to kill a large beast. On the one hand, he obtained some meat, and on the other hand, he also obtained complete animal skins. Yi Village had no other supplies. The animal skins were used when the leaders slept at night. The only way to keep warm.

The beasts on the small island currently have game settings that are regularly refreshed. Qu Mao is not worried that the beasts will be hunted to extinction. In fact, Qu Mao did not fully take the food crisis that Su Yan reminded him of. All the archers are sent out to hunt and kill wild animals.

  But Su Yan said that there must be a sustained and stable grain output, that is, grain can be grown through arable land, Qu Mao thinks it is very necessary.

   Larger beasts will provide more meat. If you just kill some gray rabbits, wild wolves, etc., the meat will be much less.

Qu Mao thinks that when two second-tier hunters go out hunting, there is a high probability that they will not touch huge black bears, tigers, etc., and more likely they will kill gray rabbits, goats, elk, wild wolves, etc. The hunting results of a Tier 2 hunter will definitely not be able to satisfy the consumption of many people.

  Su Yan once suggested changing the current three meals a day to two meals a day, but Qu Mao thought that this would reduce the happiness of the citizens, which would lead to a decrease in loyalty and centripetal force, so she strongly disagreed.

  When cutting bamboo in the bamboo forest, Qu Mao had to consider the issue of food consumption. Now the territory has a full 54 citizens, and the daily food consumption is at least 162 units. Even to kill a large beast like a tiger, at least eight of them are enough. Every morning, there are usually more than a dozen fish caught in the fishing traps by the creek, but the fish in the creek are small, and a dozen or so are not enough. It is food that is divided into two or three units.

  Thinking of these problems, Qu Mao couldn't help but let out a long sigh. At this stage, he is facing a new bottleneck, not just the problem of food.

The previous bottleneck was the lack of high-level resources and the leaders, but now the bottleneck is more of a serious shortage of basic labor tools and living tools. Su Yan arranged for the leaders to come to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo, because they lacked sophisticated machetes, they could only rely on Use your hands, feet or picked up stones to cut bamboo, and the effect of cutting bamboo can be imagined.

   It seems that only oneself with the elf's machete is more effective in chopping bamboo, but cutting bamboo by yourself is not necessarily faster than other leaders with elf's machete.

Qu Mao was a little bored watching the villagers just remove the branches from the bamboo they cut down. The original inferior hatchet had completely exhausted its durability, and now it can only be regarded as a pile of scrap iron in the lord's hut. Only when there are blacksmiths or a blacksmith shop is established in the future will it be possible to further rework and reuse waste.

   Even if the metal mines are conquered tomorrow, metals can be mined, but if there is no blacksmith, there is no way to forge suitable iron tools.

  And a new bottleneck is that Qu Mao directly purchased a large amount of metal resources from Lai Dima, but now there is a shortage of two basic resources, wood and stone.

Although the zero-level logging camp and the zero-level quarry can provide resources, Su Yan did arrange the two zero-level resource collection sites to be on duty at full capacity, and set up a two-shift system, but at best, each day is 2000 Lumber and stone accounted for around unit.

   It looks like a lot, but it will be consumed quickly when used. Even if another zero-level logging camp is realized, the speed of collection may still not be able to match the speed of consumption.

  The luck of misfortune is that the high-speed operation of the zero-level logging farm can speed up the development of the open space around the lord's hut. If there is enough open space, the speed of cultivated land development will increase.

As long as there is enough open space for Jia Sixie and Franklin King, the speed of developing low-quality cultivated land will not be too slow. After the first season of corn matures, the range of planting corn can be expanded, and a stable food source will appear. However, at least It will take more than thirty days.

   Qu Mao's character is just happy with the situation. Less than 20 days after he came to the Continent of Hegemony, he has become more or less positive.

  In the beginning, Qu Mao only wanted to survive in this continent of hegemony. The reduction in the number of billions of simultaneous online lords every day was too powerful a deterrent to Qu Mao.

   Later, he thought about living with a few people. Although life was not comfortable, at least there was no survival crisis.

After receiving the materials sold to him by Lai Dima, Qu Mao successfully took on a usury of 1,500 gold coins. He naturally began to think about how to repay the debt and how to live better. The goal was raised step by step. It also seems unlikely to be happy with the situation.

  Many things are fine if you don’t think about them, but there are a lot of problems when you think about them.

  Resources, tools, and living materials are too scarce. There are 16 territorial houses in Yi Village, but there is not a single proper bed for the local people.

   Although there are some tools in the zero-level lumberyard and zero-level quarry, these two resource collection places are gamified settings, and the tools inside cannot be used.

  Handing the excellent machete in his hand to the leader who was cutting bamboo in the bamboo forest, Qu Mao walked towards the lord's hut while thinking to himself: "I'm wasting my time here, too few tools.

It seems that all the resource points on this small island must be conquered as soon as possible, and then find a way to find the construction drawings or actual drawings of the wharf, and open the route to Yancheng Port as soon as possible. You must go to Yancheng Port to purchase materials to ensure the rapid development of the territory. speed.

   I have to discuss with Su Yan that the diamond treasure box can no longer be kept, and hard power must be formed as soon as possible. "
