Ye An

Ye An's prediction went wrong for the first time.

When the city wall had begun to take shape, the pigeons released had not yet returned, and there was no news from Hunter City.This made him wonder whether it was because the pigeon had an accident on the way, encountered a predator, or the Hunter City was in trouble.

He still had a fresh memory of the last time the gophers besieged the city.

Seeing the power of the giant gophers, he will inevitably worry, whether it is a group of gophers who have left and returned.

However, there were human factors in the large-scale gathering of gophers before. Maybe he thought too much, but maybe there was a delay on the road.

Ye An was preoccupied with many things, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face.Traveling between rocky mountains and construction sites every day, I am so busy that I never touch the ground.He also took the manpower to the mine, and personally transported two batches of ore back, preparing for further processing and refining, and used them as materials for building the city.

With Wang Bo, Qiang Bo and others planning and coordinating, the project went very smoothly.

In view of the flooding, the old people proposed to start construction on the west side of the island first, and then extend to the other three sides.Considering the territory of the herd of animals on the island, Ye An specially designated an area to ensure that the herd of animals would not be affected by the project, and that the fortifications could provide certain convenience after the completion of the project.

The city walls were built, and the dense forests of the island were incorporated into them.

As an important part of the isolated island, underground caverns also need to be planned in advance.

Uncle Wang and Uncle Qiang proposed to build two cities, namely the aboveground city and the underground city.Although the project volume is huge, it can accommodate more population and form greater protection for the city, which is beneficial and harmless to future development.

"Dungeon."

Ye An unfolded the blueprints, carefully considered the suggestions of the old people, and finally made a decision. According to what they said, the city wall should be erected first to protect the safety of the island, and then the construction should be started, both above and below ground.

"In this way, more manpower will be needed." Mu Mian said when she heard the plan.

"Don't worry about the manpower." Ye An put down the drawing, picked up the water glass beside him, and took two gulps.

If you were someone else, you might have to worry about manpower. After all, the project is huge, and materials and manpower are not small problems.If there is a shortage in the middle, the project will inevitably be delayed, and the previous efforts will be greatly reduced.

He has no such worries.

There are mines in the delta, and the ore produced is enough to build the city.There are also a lot of rocks and wood. According to the planned scale of the city, there is no need to worry about building materials.

As for manpower, that is not a problem.

Although there are not many manpower on the island, Kapok is good at making tools, and the old people can also help. With the addition of Zijing, Laqiva and Luge, the project can naturally go smoothly.

Even if there is a shortage of manpower, it is easy to solve.

Uncle Qiang and the others saw that Ye Ancheng had a plan in his chest, and thought that he was going to recruit homeless people.Seriously, this is indeed a solution.It's just that you have to carefully screen during the process to avoid guys with ulterior motives from mixing into the team.

Unexpectedly, Ye An had no such plan.

"Wanderers? No, I'm not going to recruit them."

Ye An put down his water glass and picked up a piece of shortbread baked by Bauhinia.The crust is crisp and thin, with sesame seeds sprinkled on it, and it makes a crackling sound when biting into the mouth, and the fragrance is very strong.

"I will go out to the island tomorrow."

Ye An had planned a long time ago and was going to ask the ant colony for help.

After settling on the isolated island, he had a lot of dealings with ant colonies, and he was very familiar with the ant colonies distributed in the delta.In particular, he is well versed in the character and needs of queen ants, and understands what rewards can be given to impress them.

In addition, he is also planning to contact the colorful spiders in the dense forest.

These spiders like to live in groups and rarely leave their territory.Their web is as tough as the strongest steel wire.They are also extremely powerful. If they can cooperate with the ant colony, there is no need to worry about building a city. No matter how large the project is, it will not be a problem.

After Ye An returned to the island, he seized the time to burn the snapping turtle shell, and stored the obtained crystals in the cave, accumulating a large amount.

He roughly estimated that even if all the ant colonies and spider colonies were put into the project, the snapping tortoise shells needed would not exceed one-third.In addition to the unique hobbies of the ant colony and the spider colony, it can be said that the supplies he currently stores are more than enough, and there is no need to worry about debts.

After thinking about this, Ye An quickly made a decision and told everyone about his plan.

With the experience of bison herds and fish schools, everyone accepted Ye An's plan well after a brief surprise.

"Since everyone has no objections, I'll leave tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be back in about five days." Ye An carefully calculated that if he wanted to visit all the ant colonies and reach a cooperation, he would need at least this time.

In addition, there are all kinds of problems between ant colonies, especially termites and army ants, which can be called blood feuds.To invite them to help, mediation must be made in advance, and it is agreed that during the construction period, they cannot conflict, let alone start a war on the island.

If you think about it seriously, even if you have the ability to communicate with the ant colony and grasp the preferences of the queen, it is not an easy task.

Ye An spread out the animal skin, listed the possible problems on it, and informed everyone in advance that if any carrier pigeon returns to the island during his absence, don't rush to reply, everything will be discussed when he returns.

Everyone had no objection to Ye An's plan, and discussed related matters until late at night.After confirming that there are no missing details, roll up the written animal skin.

It was past midnight at that time, it was dark outside, and it was raining heavily, and thunder could be faintly heard in the distance.

Ye An and the others were busy making plans and didn't have time to eat dinner.Suddenly relaxed, all feeling hungry.

"I can't do without hot food. First cook a pot of broth, and then roast some dried meat. I remember I caught a few yellow sheep before, and the leg of the lamb was well marinated, which is just right for stewing soup."

Ye An gave orders, Bauhinia and Kapok quickly made a division of labor, Lily of the Valley handed over the seasoning, and La Qiwa put an iron pot on the floor stove, which was filled with bubbling hot water.

Uncle Wang and Uncle Qiang helped to bake the wheat cakes, Ye An went to the cave himself, and brought a bag of millet in addition to the leg of lamb, and prepared to cook meat porridge to go with the wheat cakes.

Everyone was busy together, and the hot food came out quickly.

The aroma wafted in the room, and the black-footed cats sleeping soundly on the bed turned over, opened their eyes for a while, and let out a meowing sound.

Ye An specially took two pieces of mutton leg and told them to cool before eating.

Although the raccoon cat lying by the window didn't make a sound, its big eyes stared at Ye An without blinking.Naturally, Ye An would not favor one person over another, and also prepared mutton for Lihuamao.Of course, the ferrets who were also in the house were not left behind.

The rain outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, and the rainwater fell to the ground, converging into small streams, flowing along the terrain to the edge of the isolated island, and merging into the rushing river one after another.

The room was shrouded in warmth, and it was rare for everyone to relax. They swept away the food, then said goodbye to Ye An, and returned to their own residences to rest.

When Ling Lan left, Ye An closed the door and couldn't help yawning.

Turning around and lying down on the bed, Ye An stretched out his arms, picked up the black-footed cat that was washing its face with its little paws, held it up with his hands, buried his head in the soft belly of the black-footed cat, took two deep breaths, put the little guy down, and said with satisfaction. Turned over and quickly fell asleep.

According to the agreed plan, he will leave the island tomorrow, and he will be very busy these few days.To build up his strength, he needs rest.

The black-footed cat squatted next to Ye An, tilted its head to look at him for a moment, turned its head to meet the gaze of the raccoon cat, licked its paws proudly, rolled into a warm fur ball again, and fell asleep against Ye An past.
