Chapter 73 Nanmu City Wall

One leg was worried about Chi Nan walking alone on the road, so he quickly caught up with him. It was really hard for One Leg to keep up with him with only a wooden prosthesis. Perhaps, he should replace his leg.

But there was no other way. He could make a wooden prosthesis that looked the same, but he couldn't control it. This was not a neural prosthesis. Even if he installed it, he might not be used to it.

Chi Nan simply slowed down and thought while walking: "The soldiers' equipment and some daily necessities here need to be solved. So we need a lot of iron. Do you know if there is any iron mine in this place?" Chi Nan could only rely on this in the end.

"Iron ore? This subordinate has actually inquired about it. There is no ore vein at Hongshaling."

"What? No ore vein? How is that possible? The Red Stone Mountain is all red. That is the sign of iron ore. I remember that wherever there is iron ore, there will be this kind of red stone."

One Leg said helplessly: "Sir, it is said that someone came to Hongshi Mountain and Hongshaling to explore before. There are indeed a lot of iron ore here, but it is too scattered and there is no value in mining at all."

After One Leg's narration, Chi Nan finally understood. The stones and soil here do contain a lot of iron, but it is like mixing rust in the sand. It is too scattered and the content is not high.

In addition, the smelting level of this world is not good. Smelting this kind of stone is not worth the loss, so no one is willing to pay attention to the stones here. But they themselves have no way, and in the end, so much iron on Hongshi Mountain can only be thrown here. In fact, even if the smelting level is high, I am afraid no one is willing.

The iron content of this whole mountain may be comparable to several large iron ore veins, but this mountain is too big. Who has the mood to refine this mountain bit by bit? It is better to find new iron ore.

"So that's the case. It's really troublesome." Chi Nan looked helpless and thought about it again.

There is no way to solve the problem of iron ore for the time being. Chi Nan can only focus all his energy on testing his pea cannon. Every day, there is nothing but testing. Anyway, things can be left to others.

In terms of civil affairs, with Hemira, everything is in good order. There is Muluo at home, although she is not very pleasing to the eye and is very old. But Muluo is very good at housework, and the house is well managed.

Now, Chi Nan lives in a tree house rebuilt from a big tree next to the castle. It is far worse than the dilapidated castle, but at least it is comfortable to live in.

As for the military, one leg is enough, and the bald old man basically passes messages and runs errands for himself. Wherever there is a need, he will go there to help. Although he seems to have no real power, he is a person that no one dares to underestimate.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed. This week was calm and nothing happened. On this day, the bald old man suddenly found himself and said that the three-layer city wall built in front had been completed. Chi Nan immediately put down the things in his hands, hurried to the place, and soon ran to the edge of the city wall.

After this period of busyness, the nearby yellow land has been planted with jujube trees and oil trees. The people have become accustomed to the staple food of flour and have thrown away the previous food.

There is no trouble for the time being, and the speed of building the city wall is naturally very fast. The city wall in front of us, although it is just piled up, is at least six meters high, and there is a ladder next to it.

"Very good, very good. You have worked so hard. Leave it to me next."

"It's not hard. These are what we should do. The real hard work is for the lord."

Chi Nan waved his hand: "Okay, no need to say these nice words. Everyone has contributed. We are all for the future of our territory and for a better life in the future."

Chi Nan's words made the workers around him very happy. Chi Nan ignored them and walked forward. As before, he used the improved tripping grass to reinforce the three layers of the city wall.

After the reinforcement, Chi Nan took out the seeds and handed them to the workers. "Go, plant in the middle of the city wall, and plant in front of it, with an interval of two meters, and plant one seed every two meters." The seeds that Chi Nan took out were nanmu seeds, but they were not ordinary nanmu. During this period, the people in the territory sent him some special plants.

This kind of nanmu wood is hard and has a little fragrance. It has strong vitality, but it grows slowly.

Although this is just a tree of inferior quality, because of his talent in hardness, Chi Nan was able to strengthen the hardness of the nanmu to the hardness of a black iron-level tree, and the consumption was not as great as using the black iron plant directly. The tree itself has the ability to grow and repair itself, and its own wall is unique in this world.

When the workers planted the seeds, Chi Nan began to mobilize his magic power. During this period of time, he continued to experiment and plant various plants, and Chi Nan's magic power was much stronger than when he first came here.

The first row of nanmu grew rapidly, gradually forming a large area, completely connected and fused together, as if it were a plant. This pure wooden wall was formed in this way.

On the surface, there is a little metallic luster, and it is very hard. The gate of the city was vacated, and the big trees on both sides spread towards the middle and finally touched each other. The stone wall was completely wrapped in wood. The top of the wall was also deformed rapidly under Chi Nan's control.

The flat ground and the jagged parapet in front can effectively protect the soldiers behind. For his soldiers to defend the city, they only need pea cannons, and no other weapons are needed.

After thinking about it, Chi Nan once again produced a large number of sharp wooden spikes on the edge of the outermost layer of the wall.

"Huh, with these wooden spikes, I wonder who dares to climb up from the outside of the wall." These spikes are very sharp and very slender. Even if a ladder is used, there is still no way to separate these spikes.

With such a wall, everyone felt much safer. "Continue in the afternoon, I have no magic power." Chi Nan spread his hands helplessly. It is also very tiring to produce so many nanmu to form a wall. There are four city walls in total. If we work twice a day, the city wall can be completely completed in just two days.
