Chapter 442 Do You Have Any Special Ability?
On the island, each subordinate finished their dinner and took turns entering the stone brick house. After being inspected by Sun Simiao, they returned to their posts and prepared to work.
When Jiang Tiangang walked out of the door, he happened to meet Shi Zhigang, who was about to come in for consultation.
"boss."
After saying greetings, Shi Zhigang pointed to a place on the island and said:
"The dormitory building No. 2 has been completed. After the cement has set, it will be cleaned and you can move in."
"Well, I understand. You go to Mr. Sun to check first."
Jiang Tian waved his hand and walked to the side of Dormitory Building No. 2.
As Shi Zhigang said, this dormitory building has been completed.
From the appearance point of view, it is no different from the old dormitory. Since there are more people to accommodate inside, about 50% more cement is used, and it looks much thicker than the old dormitory.
Next to the dormitory, more than 20 subordinates were sitting on the ground and resting. Seeing Jiang Tian coming over, they all stood up quickly and shouted in unison:
"Hello boss!"
Jiang Tian didn't even bother to correct their attitude of "not changing despite repeated admonishment", he just waved his hand and said:
"Everyone has worked hard. You don't have to work overtime tonight. You can go back and have a good rest. There will be other things arranged for you tomorrow."
“ohhhhh!!”
All the subordinates cheered in unison, chatted and walked back to the dormitory with their arms around each other.
At this time, Lu Ban and Lao An walked out of the timber warehouse, came to Jiang Tian and replied:
"Lord, we have already made the catapult you gave us to study."
Hearing this, Jiang Tian raised his eyebrows.
"There are only two of you, and you made it so quickly? Are you putting it in the warehouse? Take me to see it!"
"No, no, we have already brought the catapult."
After hearing what Lu Ban said, Jiang Tian glanced at the empty backs of the two of them with a somewhat complicated expression.
Just as he was about to say something, Lao An took something out of his pocket and handed it to Jiang Tian.
"My lord, this is the prototype of a catapult. Please take a look at it."
"..."
Jiang Tian was silent for a while and then reacted.
Since these two people were relatively small and lacked labor, they first made a shortened version of the catapult.
In this way, the results of the two of them can be displayed more intuitively in a short period of time. And if you are not satisfied with any point, you can point it out directly on this small catapult, which is also convenient for modification.
After Jiang Tian observed for a while, Lu Ban said:
"Lord, how about I demonstrate the operation of the catapult first?"
After Jiang Tian nodded, Lu Ban took the catapult and placed it on the ground.
Turn the wooden pulley on the catapult to pull the string, pull down the projecting arm of the catapult, and then use a wooden hook to hook on a circular hole carved on it.
Then pick up a stone and place it on the spoon-shaped structure of the projection arm, and press the button.
"puff!"
The projection arm broke away from the restriction and was thrown forward, and the stones flew several meters away and hit the soil.
Judging from the demonstration results, this is indeed a catapult, but it is very mini in size.
Immediately, Lu Ban introduced: "This is just a reduced version of the catapult. If it is made according to normal size and material, the range will be about 200 meters."
Jiang Tian nodded and ordered:
"Yes, it will be made according to these specifications. When will it be ready?"
Lu Ban glanced at the catapult, thought for a moment and replied:
"Lord, making a normal version of the catapult requires bronze to make the machine box and some other parts. The project is not small. With our manpower alone, I'm afraid..."
Jiang Tian waved his hands and said:
"Don't worry, you two. I will arrange for manpower to work together tomorrow. You have worked hard too. Go back and rest first."
"Yes, thank you, Lord!"
The two of them responded and walked towards their respective houses while talking.
After selling a wave of delicious food, herbal tea and weapons, Jiang Tian glanced at the dormitory where shouts and laughter could be heard, returned to the room and went to bed.
The night passed slowly, and the next day came.
After breakfast.
"Boss, please give me your orders!"
Shi Zhigang and his more than 20 subordinates stood in three rows. After saying greetings, they stood upright in front of Jiang Tian, waiting for instructions.
Jiang Tian nodded and asked them to report their numbers first.
After the construction of the dormitory is completed, plus the manpower brought back, there are currently 27 available manpower after excluding those in fixed positions.
Immediately, Jiang Tian looked around at the situation on the island, pointed at his men and ordered:
"The ten of you, follow Shi Zhigang to the north of the island, and cooperate with Mr. Sun to build the medical center.
The five of you go to the west of the island and cooperate with Leopard Girl to expand the cowshed.
The five of you go to the lumber warehouse and make a catapult with Luban.
The remaining six go to Huo Qubing and ask them to teach you some combat skills and patrol precautions."
"Yes, boss!"
The group of people responded in unison and dispersed to various parts of the island.
Everything went smoothly according to the plan made before.
Those handed over to Huo Qubing were mainly his men brought back from the two days of war. As combatants at that time, they were all in good physical condition and had certain combat experience.
Although they still have injuries on their bodies, it doesn't matter.
I just let them patrol for the next few days. I can learn something from Huo Qubing and kill the monsters myself after they recover from their injuries.
After thinking about this, Jiang Tian glanced at the edge of the island and saw Chu Mingyu who had been following Huo Qubing.
Although this man is not as powerful as Lu Bu and Huo Qubing, he is still a general.
At least he's not a little bit better than Bai Sheng.
If cultivated well, it will also become a good combat force on the island.
Should we also sort out his weapons later?
Of course, Lao An's weapon also had to be made, but Lao An's weapon had to wait until Fang Tian's painted halberd was ready and forged by Tang Yan himself.
As for Chu Mingyu's weapons, they can be handed over to apprentices. After a period of study and practice, the quality of the weapons created by Li Si and others is getting better and better, and the weapons sold during this period have received rave reviews.
Of course, it’s better if no one uses it.
Thinking of these, Jiang Tian walked towards the blacksmith shop.
"Ding-ding! Dang-dang! Dong-dong! Dang-dang!"
The sound of metal clashing in the blacksmith shop is endless.
When Jiang Tian stepped into the blacksmith shop, he found that Tang Yan was not fishing, but beating an iron rod.
"Oh, you performed quite well today!"
After Jiang Tian finished praising him, Tang Yan sighed and said:
"I also want to finish the game early and then take a good rest to play cards with them. Boss, do you know how loud the noise they made playing cards last night was spread to the blacksmith shop. However, I can only play here honestly.
Hold on to the iron, I..."
"Okay, okay, why don't I say it again? Fang Tian will give you a day off after finishing the halberd."
"That's fine. I just hope there won't be any temporary tasks and I'll be asked to work overtime suddenly..."
After muttering, Tang Yan said again:
"By the way, boss, making Fang Tian's Painted Halberd requires a lot of materials. Do you think you should add some more? Otherwise, it may be a bit difficult to make other equipment in the future."
???
Jiang Tian was stunned and asked: "Materials? Are we still short of materials? There aren't many metal things, right?"
"That's not it."
Tang Yan waved his hand and pointed at the blue bone powder placed in the bag next to him: "It's mainly this stuff. If you don't replenish it, it will probably be a bit choked."
