Sugene has nothing to criticize.
He blew on the food and ate it eagerly.
Seeing him eat so happily, Zhuing was very pleased and brought over half a ladle of water and a few wild fruits.
Su Jene accepted them one by one.
I've had enough here.
You should go eat, too.
No need to worry about me.
Take a rest.
We have work to do later.
Got it.
Zuing replied obediently.
Chapter 10.
Another misunderstanding.
After dinner, Sujene let everyone rest for half an hour.
There was still some time before dark, so he called the villagers to continue working, start working, get to it.
Sujene had a detailed layout plan in his mind.
The industrial area, agricultural area, military area, living area, entertainment area, etc.
All had a rough plan, but that was a matter for later.
The current principle was that there should be a variety of buildings with complete functions, and they needed to be compact enough to be defensible.
After all, most of the initial buildings would need to be demolished and rebuilt later.
The architecture in this world was relatively flexible, allowing for modifications.
Sugene decided to start with the village chief's house.
Step one, expand the roof.
The edges of the roof were extended with wood, increasing the roof area, making it look like a T-shaped mushroom.
Then, a fence was added around the roof to protect those standing on it.
This would prevent them from falling and protect their bodies when crouching.
Thus, a simple defensive tower was completed.
When wild beasts or enemies attacked, everyone could climb onto the roof, pull the ladder up, and defend from above.
Step two, choose four of the thickest trees nearby.
Cut off the small branches, leaving only the thick ones.
Then, reinforce them with wood and add a fence after completion.
This way, the four thick trees became four semi-natural defensive towers.
The tree modified defensive towers were smaller, accommodating 13 people, while the modified village chief's house was a medium defensive tower that could hold up to 912 people.
Step three, select a batch of straighter branches or wood.
Then car them in a round sticks, tapering one end.
This way, a simple wooden spear was created, which could also be used for throwing.
Although tools like axes and hammers could be used for attacks, they were mainly designed for work, had a short attack range, and lack power.
Moreover, their numbers were limited and could not be increased for the time being.
Wooden spears could be mass-produced, and with plenty of raw materials in the forest, they were ideal.
When the enemy approached, they could stand on the defensive tower and throw the spears, and when the enemy got close, they could stab at them.
Simple and effective.
Production was also quite easy.
Everyone agreed with Su Jyn's arrangements, and they could already imagine the scene of the defense battle in their minds.
With a concrete plan and explanation, work progressed quickly.
The five defensive towers were roughly arranged in a cross shape.
From above, one could clearly see the surrounding situation.
They serve as both defensive towers and lookout towers.
12 wooden spears were crafted, providing each villager with a temporary weapon.
Since other buildings also needed to be constructed, Sujene paused the spear production.
These spears were made from new branches which contained moisture and felt somewhat heavy in hand.
Sujene had Zu Ting and Xiao by each try one.
Zhu Ting swung it like a stick a couple of times.
Senior brother, no problem.
I can use it, sir.
I can use it, too.
Xiaoi added with their strength only being two.
If they could manage it, then others surely could as well.
After a short break, taking advantage of the fact that it was still not completely dark, they continued the construction of the thatched houses.
The thatched houses were intended to be temporary housing and would soon be replaced.
Therefore, Sugene decided to build only two larger Thatch houses.
Each house would accommodate five people, making a total of 10 with separate houses for men and women.
They would just need to get through tonight.
There was nothing special to note about building the thatched houses.
The villagers were all familiar with it.
The main materials were wooden sticks, thatch, and mud.
They had already gathered plenty of wooden sticks and thatch, and they could source the mud locally.
Everyone worked together, and Su Jeene and Juing also participated.
Finally, when it was completely dark, the two thatched houses were finished.
The rush construction led to poor quality.
The walls were crooked, and there were many holes letting in the wind, but they were still usable.
Inside, a large sleeping area was created with thatch, serving as the villager's sleeping place for the night.
Su gene laid down and found it to be better than he had imagined.
The constructions of the day were quite simple.
Sugene did not use the rapid construction order, planning to save it for more time-consuming buildings later.
A day's hurry construction had exhausted everyone.
So, Sugene decided to provide extra food for dinner.
Everyone ate heartily again.
After dinner, it was already late at night and everyone was tired.
So, Suene immediately told them to rest.
However, tonight was the first night in the territory and he wondered if anything might happen.
Night watch had to be arranged.
The villagers were divided into three groups for the night watch with three people in each group taking turns for 3 hours.
This way, the three groups could last until dawn the next day.
Currently, there were only three buildings in the village, so it wasn't necessary to leave someone at each defensive tower.
Each group could simply watch from the medium defensive tower that had been modified from the village chief's house among the 10 villagers.
The only one who didn't have to keep watch was Xiaoi.
She would be spending the night with Zhu Ting in the village chief's house.
Hearing this arrangement, Ziao was startled and after thinking it over, blushed and agreed.
Zhuing<unk>s expression was quite complex.
She glanced at Xiao Bai who was silent with her head down and who could be considered a beauty.
Then she looked at Sujene who appeared eager and couldn't help but sigh.
Sigh.
After all, senior brother is a man.
While I can understand that his pressure must be great, releasing it in this way is a bit.
Forget it.
Let him be.
As long as both parties are willing, it's not a big deal in this world.
Zhu Ting made up her mind.
Sujene found their reactions amusing.
Knowing they had misunderstood.
