Chapter 451

Wiping his mouth, the scout began to describe in detail the disaster that Gou Neck Town and the village under Zhixia were facing.

The villages and towns are all built against the mountains, and it is summer again, and there are many wild vegetables in the mountains. The disaster has occurred and we have to rely on wild vegetables to survive. The town has allocated all the stored food, but it is not enough, so now we have run out of ammunition and food, so we can only rely on wild vegetables Ye Guo reluctantly persisted.

The main difficulty in disaster relief is that the road to the outside of the town was blocked by the collapsed boulders, and the official road was cut into sections. Even livestock could not walk, so they had to climb in and out by manpower.

But Gou Ning Town is surrounded by mountains and not by water, even if the food for disaster relief comes out by water, it can only walk a short distance, and then go ashore by land.

With such road conditions, how to transport disaster relief food into the town is a big problem.

The four of them at the table were silent together.

"How high and wide are those boulders? Compared with this scout brother?" Qi Ke broke the silence and raised his eyes to look at people.

"Compared to me?" The scout was stunned for a moment, slowly stood up and left his seat, and began to gesture, "Every boulder is like a hill, and you have to use your hands and feet to climb over it. I even used the claw hook."

"What about the top? How wide is it? Can people stand on it or do they have to sit or lie down? Is it safe to stay on it for a long time?"

"Do you want to stay on the boulder?" The scout was stunned again. Although he didn't understand why Qi Ke asked such a question, he still thought about it carefully, "It's impossible to stand upright. The surface of the boulder is not flat. Or move on my stomach, I just climb up and move to the other side on my stomach, and then climb down, if I just sit on it, it should be fine."

"Why do you ask that?" Both Bai Qing and Cheng Feng looked at Qi Ke, "What do you think?"

"I just want to confirm the height of these boulders. According to the scout brother, the tallest piece of these boulders is no higher than a roof."

"Yes, yes, it's not as high as a room, maybe half a room, at least as tall as two people." The scout nodded vigorously.

"That's easy, we have tools." Qi Ke smiled slightly.

All three of them looked forward to the following.

"When we started to build houses in Siliu Village last year, when building high walls, roof beams, and laying tiles and other high-level masonry work, the masonry and mud were not lifted up by manpower, but by long-arm winches. The crane is sent directly from the ground to a high place. Isn’t it just a huge boulder blocking the way? Wouldn’t it be possible to send food into the town with a few more cranes? If you think the structure of the crane is too complicated for long-distance transportation, then go on the spot Taking materials and using a pulley block can also hoist grain from the ground to a high place, and people on the boulders will be sent to respond in turn, responsible for changing the hooks for hanging grain, from one side to the other, and so on.”

Bai Qing got up abruptly, ran to the window facing the street and looked into the distance. Through the tree tops, he could vaguely see the top of a long-armed crane.

"Qi Ke, you are really smart."

"Your Excellency Qian has won the prize."

"Yeah, I got used to it and ignored such a useful thing, so I didn't realize it all at once." Cheng Feng also moved to the window and saw the same long-armed crane with Bai Qing.

The scout was confused for a while, and finally understood, "Is there a way to send food into the town?"

"Well, it still takes a lot of manpower, but it can save a lot of effort." Qi Ke nodded.
