Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 29 29. Building the Wall ([-])

A month later, Ross came here again. Looking at the six or seven short walls erected around him, he became more and more satisfied with Julius. Have your own ideas and put them into practice.

And Ulis also admired Los, because there were cracks in different degrees on several walls, and the most serious one even collapsed, but there were also several walls that were still standing strong, and they seemed extremely firm.

After observing the walls one by one, Ross came to the wall that looked the strongest and most complete, and then exhaled and punched it hard.

"boom"

The [-]-meter short wall that Qianjin Juli smashed on shook slightly, but it did not break or collapse.

Seeing this scene, Luoston showed a pleasant expression. He really did not expect that the rammed earth wall has such a high strength. As long as such a rammed earth wall reaches a thickness of 1 meter, even a strong second-order warrior can resist it. outside the gate.

Yulis, the surrounding villagers, refugees, and slaves all showed expressions of horror when they saw the short wall shake. Such a wall can be shaken by one person, but such a thick wall is basically indestructible to them.

"Very good!" Ross praised Julis without hesitation, and then expressed his thoughts: "Just according to this standard, three walls will be built at the planned location at the same time, and there will be a gap between each wall. 50 centimeters apart. Then fill the gaps with gravel, clay, sand and soil mixture, and after compaction, a wall with an overall length of 2.5 meters will be formed."

Julis' eyes lit up when he heard this and exclaimed: "This is a good way! If this is the case, there is no problem at all."

Ross nodded calmly and then urged: "Pay attention during the construction process. Every meter of construction starts to fill in the gaps. At the same time, add keels and spines to the walls to increase the overall strength of the walls."

"Keel, spine?" Julis was stunned. As a builder, he naturally understood what keel and spine are, but he never thought of putting things that build the roof inside the wall. At this time, Ross said He conceived in his mind, and immediately understood the significance of doing so, and he admired Ross even more in his heart: "In this way, the strength and durability of the wall can be at least doubled. If the village head is a builder, he will definitely become a builder." Master's."

Three days later, with Loos' support, Ulis went to work.

A total of about 350 people were mobilized to build the wall this time. Under the arrangement of Ross, the structure of workers who built the wall was arranged as 1 villager, 2 refugees, and 5 slaves. It was squeezed too badly.

While some people were digging and mixing soil, Julis led another group of people to pound the ground where the wall was planned to be built to ensure the stability of the foundation.

According to Julis's plan, the 4-meter-high wall is divided into 8 layers, each layer is 50 centimeters. After the first layer is built, the second layer will be built immediately on the second day after the premise is basically stable and has not dried out, and then the third layer , and then the fourth layer.

After the fourth floor, Julius plans to completely complete the construction of the entire wall. After the wall is completely leveled, a layer of spine will be built with the highest density, and then the construction of the next 4 floors will be carried out.

With a construction team of more than 350 people, Ulis led 5 apprentices to run around to direct, and the wall was built at a speed of 800 meters (single floor) per day.

Twelve days later, the 800-meter-long, 2-meter-high wall has been formed.

Accompanied by Ulis, Los inspected the construction of the wall and found that everything seemed to be in order, and the construction process of the wall seemed to have been optimized by Ulis, which was more brilliant and stronger than the wall in the experiment. Ross is very satisfied with this.

After praising Yulis without hesitation, he also reminded Yulis to pay attention to construction safety. If a person falls from a height of more than two meters, it may cause injuries such as fractures.

At the same time, Ross also told the person in charge of cooking for the workers to put more wild vegetables and miscellaneous grains in the three meals a day, but must ensure that the workers are full.

Because the higher the building is, the higher the cost of transporting soil materials, the slower the construction speed will be. After 25 days, an 800-meter-long wall was successfully completed. The 4-meter-high and 2.5-meter-thick city wall gave the villagers a great impact. It also made them feel safe from the bottom of their hearts. Staying in such a tall and strong wall, no monsters could come in and attack them anymore.

This also greatly increased their enthusiasm for building the fence, so many villagers would spontaneously go to the place where the fence was built to help dig, mix, and transport soil after finishing their work on the farmland.This move accelerated the construction of the wall.

During the construction process, Los made a request and asked Ulis to build four watchtowers at the corners of the wall.

What surprised Rose when building the gate was that Ulis proposed the sliding door method. Compared with a small border village like Stan Village, this is an epoch-making thing. Of course, Rose readily agreed to let Ulis do it.

So Ulis directed the workers to build two one-meter-wide upper walls on both sides of the gate, the upper wall is 9 meters long, and the bottom is 29 meters long with 64 steps. The attached wall was installed on the top and was bought from Wellington City for 100 gold coins. The bottom of the track was also equipped with a chute made of steel, and finally the 10-meter-long gate made of hardwood with a length of 8 centimeters was installed on it.

There are sticker tracks on the top and bottom to fix the card position, and a push-pull handle and a wooden wedge for locking the door are installed at the inward position to ensure that the door can only be opened from the inside.And as long as the gate is locked, apart from breaking the wooden door, the attackers will not enter the village through the gate.

The two arrow towers built on the fence above the gate can ensure that attackers cannot easily approach the gate.

Another three months later, 350 workers took 4 months. Before the first snow in winter, the 3000-meter-long, 4-meter-high and 2.5-meter-thick wall of Stan Village was finally completed.

At this time, Los was wearing a simple linen robe, with a long sword hanging from his waist, standing upright on the wall of the east gate. Behind him were ten militia squad leaders in chain mail. The strongest side under the wall was a neatly lined militia team. Then there are villagers, refugees and many slaves.

Standing on the 4-meter-high fence, Los saw everything in the entire Stan Village at a glance, and silently decided in his heart to plan and rebuild the houses and roads in the village next year, and then smiled and said to the bottom: "From Starting today, we finally don’t have to worry about monsters and beasts entering the village to hurt us! Here we would like to thank Mr. Ulis.”

Looking at the majestic wall, the villagers felt a sudden sense of security, and applauded Julis one after another.

When the villagers gradually settled down, Ross continued: "Now I am announcing one thing. According to the decision of the village and after the approval of the respected Lord Viscount Modu, I will give Thomas, Bruce, Xiumi, Wei Lian, Hobbs, Oliwen , Laonis, Toyev, House, and Bald Yu were given the status of free citizens; five people, Yulis, Haili, Curry, Sabu, and O'Meara, were granted the status of Wellingtonian citizens."

The ten militia captains who had obtained the status of free citizens looked at each other and smiled knowingly, while their families below cheered.And the five refugees who obtained the status of the leader left tears of excitement, happiness, and gratitude, and thanked Viscount Mordo and Ross incoherently.

Los stretched out his hand to press down and continued: "I believe that everyone has seen the changes in Stan Village and their identities. They have made great contributions to the village, and only then have their status and status improved today. Stan Village is telling the development, please believe that as long as you make contributions to the village, a lot of money and a higher status are waiting for you."
