I have a city in another world

Chapter 73 The soldiers are strong and strong!

Standing on a high place, Tang Zhen looked at the valley full of people. Although they were only active in a small area, they brought vitality to the valley.

The completed three lines of defense are in the shape of a semicircle, surrounding all the depressions in front of the cliff, and the distance between them is about 100 meters.

Tang Zhen didn't build the line of defense too far, so that when monsters attacked the city on a large scale, Tang Zhen and the residents under him could hide behind the line of defense and defend in an orderly manner.

Tang Zhen didn't feel bad about consuming weapons, and what he couldn't bear was to see his future residents die at the mouth of monsters, so he spent a lot of money on weapons and equipment.

He waved to Tyson who was instructing a dozen homeless people to make steel pipes into short javelins, and at the same time called a few strong men with big arms and round waists. Tang Zhen began to teach them how to use bed crossbows and trebuchets.

These two big killers of the cold weapon era are currently being produced. In order to live up to Tang Zhen's entrustment, the uneducated Wang Daqing even brought his cousin, a college student who is engaged in machinery, to participate in the research and production together. Several sets have been successfully produced.

This is the advantage of the technological age. As long as you have the technology and materials, this small workshop can even make simple aircraft and armored vehicles for you!
The gap between ancient and modern manufacturing capabilities is so obvious.

Wang Daqing worked hard, so naturally Tang Zhen would not treat him badly. Tang Zhen has raised his monthly salary to [-], which is definitely the top salary standard in this city.

The bed crossbow and the trebuchet hadn't arrived yet, Tang Zhen only let them familiarize themselves with the operation of the bed crossbow and the trebuchet through explanations and drawing demonstrations.

Because after the bed crossbows and trebuchets arrive, these weapons will be placed on the roof and windows of the building city, condescendingly attacking monsters.

Tang Zhen had seen the power of the Black Rock City Bed Crossbow before, so he was looking forward to the wonder effect of this weapon in the battle of defending the city.

Leaving Tyson who was discussing with his subordinates which items to use as crossbow arrows, Tang Zhen came to the bottom of the cliff in the valley depression. At this moment, Murong Ziyan was leading three women, carefully surrounding a square of one cubic meter in size. around the rocks.

This rock is the stone platform that carries the cornerstone, and it is also the altar for stacking the sacrificial brain beads.

Lines drawn with grass juice stone powder are drawn on the rock, full of mystery and desolation. Murong Ziyan is holding a hammer and a steel stick, and three women who also use hammers are carefully carving out these lines. .

This is a delicate work like embroidery, which can't be done by rough and rough men.

Seeing Tang Zhen looking at the pattern on the stone with great interest, Murong Ziyan introduced with a smile: "The pattern on the stone platform is said to have been handed down from ancient times. As long as you want to build a building city, you must carve a building. This kind of stone platform is used to carry the foundation stone. I heard from my teacher that the various patterns dotted on the stone platform represent thousands of worlds, and the big ball in the middle represents the land under our feet. The world is centered on this land, and this is also the ultimate soul home of all life on the stars."

Listening to Murong Ziyan's words, Tang Zhen seemed to have a feeling in his heart, but he couldn't grasp any clues.

Leaving Murong Ziyan who was carefully carving the stone platform, Tang Zhen returned to the cave and teleported back home.

This time, he was going to the village where Wang Daqing lived to collect goods. Because there were a lot of goods, Tang Zhen hired a car and went to his weaponry production base together.

After driving into the village, Wang Daqing greeted him and chatted with Tang Zhen about work and production.

The hired villagers are loading the packed armor and weapons into the car. Everyone has a smile on their faces. They work here and earn piecework wages. These days they get up early and work late, and they can earn five to six hundred yuan a day. They are very satisfied .

As for the swords and armor produced, they are only used as props and decorations. If someone tells them that these things are really used to fight on the battlefield, they will definitely scoff at them. How can anyone still wear them? Armor, wielding a big blade on the battlefield!

After the loading was completed, it was already sunset. Tang Zhen bid farewell to Wang Daqing, led the way, and asked the driver to drive the car into a temporarily rented warehouse.

After sending the driver away and asking him to pick up the car the next day, Tang Zhen started to transport it.

The space of five cubic meters can be filled very well. Tang Zhen only used a few times to get these armored weapons into the cave, and then explained a few words to Tyson and Qianlong, who were standing beside them with shining eyes, and then teleported them back home. I'm going to bed.

When Tang Zhen returned to the world of Loucheng again, there were already five assembled bed crossbows in front of his eyes.

Compared with the bulky and original bed crossbow, these five three-bow bed crossbows redesigned and made with modern materials are very convenient to operate, but they are far superior to the original version in terms of power.

This kind of bed crossbow uses a special crossbow arrow, about 1.5 meters, the moderate weight can ensure that it has enough range, and the sharp arrow ensures its lethality. In order to ensure the accuracy and stability of the crossbow arrow, the arrow body And the rear wing is also specially designed.

After Tang Zhen saw it, he praised repeatedly, he was specialized in art, this cousin of Wang Daqing was definitely a talent, and he had to find a way to keep him.

Now that the bed crossbow and trebuchet are in place, other arrangements can be made, such as laying bear traps, dropping iron dysentery, tying ropes and the like.

After another two days, with nearly 400 people working overtime, all the work was finally completed.Looking at the fully formed defensive belt, Tang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief until this moment.

But he also knows that the challenge has just begun, and the real highlight has not yet been staged!

The vagrants who belonged to the valley camp have already begun to get familiar with the new weapons and equipment they have received. They are wearing bright and sturdy armor and wielding sharp spears. He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear all day.

In their words, even if they bought their whole family, they would not be able to exchange for such a suit of armor, but now the city lord has a suit for each person.
Now that I have these equipments, let’s estimate the value, yo, I’m considered a local tyrant!
Some people were happy and some were sad. At this moment, those outside wanderers kept rolling their eyes when they saw the guys walking around deliberately showing off their equipment.

Seeing the guy who was digging a ditch with me yesterday, wearing a brand new armor and holding a sharp sword, running to show off in front of me in a blink of an eye, the feelings of those foreign employers cannot be described with envy and hatred.

Poor people become rich, why are you so proud? Wearing a dragon robe doesn’t look like a prince’s soil turtle. What a majestic set of armor. Wearing it on these guys, it’s like wearing a bucket!
That city lord named Tang Zhen was such a prodigal, that he gave each of the dozen or so guys who were not even wild cultivators a new set of armor and an excellent weapon. This set cost at least several hundred dollars. Brain beads can definitely be regarded as family heirlooms.

Rich people are so capricious!
Ma De, these guys are really out of luck. Why didn't we have such a good life? I think I am a dignified first-level monk, but now I can't even get a short knife. Hey... people are more angry than people. !

The wanderers from outside sighed and sighed, their eyes were red with envy.

The homeless people hired by Qianlong originally planned to leave immediately after the completion of the work, and they didn't want to wait until the monsters attacked the city to be killed.After all, according to the experience of the wanderers, the newly built buildings were almost unsuccessful, and [-]% of them were destroyed by the siege monsters.

However, after seeing the abundant supplies and powerful strength of the valley camp, especially after Tang Zhen showed off a mountain of armor and weapons, they had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

This person has so many weapons and food, he should be able to survive when monsters attack the city, right?

With a glimmer of expectation, the wanderers began to hesitate, and it was this hesitation that made them finally choose to stay.

Whether you live or die depends on this time. After all, everyone has already lived a life of ups and downs. Anyway, sooner or later, you will die of hunger, cold or the hands of monsters. Why not fight now!
So these wanderers also joined the training team, holding the weapons and armor they just got, and following Tyson's instructions, they trained over and over again.

Wandering in the wilderness all year round, fighting monsters and the same kind, these surviving wanderers have the potential of warriors, and they learn the operation of various weapons very quickly.

The trebuchet and bed crossbow had been assembled, and the wanderers began to try to cooperate with each other. Tyson and Qianlong also formulated several sets of tactics based on their own experience in dealing with monsters.

When Tang Zhen felt that everything was almost ready, he decided to start building the city!
