Chapter 281 Post-disaster reconstruction

After the hail came, the Mang tribe suffered heavy losses.

On the contrary, the small tribes outside the Mang tribe suffered much smaller losses.

On the one hand, they are not mainly planting, and hail is at most scaring them to hide temporarily, but it does not affect their hunting and gathering afterwards.

On the other hand, these tribes lived in dense primeval forests, and most of the hail damage was borne by the big trees. In their broken house, even if they were smashed a few holes, they would just add some thatch and bark to it.

Therefore, when hail comes, these small tribes are not sad, but are excited to run around to pick up those birds or wild beasts that have been smashed to death.

This feeling of picking up prey effortlessly is really great. If it weren't for the terrible hail, they would have wanted to have a few more games.

This is probably because some people are happy and some are worried.

After the hail, the Mang tribe immediately began to repair the smashed roofs.

Fortunately, the Mang tribe has made a large number of tiles in recent years, and the main houses can be replaced as soon as possible.

As for those less important houses, they can only be covered with bark and thatch for the time being.

After all, it is rainy in summer. If you don’t hurry up and do it, it may rain at any time and you will have no place to hide.

"There are a few days to stop the city wall. You can work hard on Hongci, and take the people to repair the smashed roof. I will let the pottery workshop burn more tiles as soon as possible."

"The roof of the granary must be prepared as soon as possible, otherwise once it rains, all the food stored will be gone."

Chenbei and Hongtu patrol the broken roofs in the tribe, and it would be better to decide which ones to repair first.

"Don't worry, the boss will first temporarily cover the roof of the granary with large bark before dark, and then replace the tiles tomorrow."

Chen Bei nodded and said, "I feel relieved when you do things. Time is tight. I won't say anything else. Let's get the granary ready first."

"yes!"

Hongtu left in a hurry. It was already afternoon. He wanted to take the engineering team's men to prepare the roof of the granary as soon as possible. Even if it was dark, he had to finish lighting a torch.

Chen Bei looked at the roofs and sighed slightly. He originally thought that the houses of the Mang Tribe were already very strong, and compared with other tribes, the houses of the Mang Tribe were already very advanced.

But with the arrival of extreme weather, he suddenly realized that mud bricks and tile houses could no longer cope with these extreme weather.

Floods and hail are just beginning, and with the advent of the Little Ice Age, disasters like this will happen frequently in the future.

These mud brick and tile houses cannot cope with extreme weather at all.

Unless, the Mang tribe can create solid brick and cement houses.

But Chenbei knew very well that bricks and cement could be thought of, but the roof needed steel and cement.

With the current capabilities of the Mang tribe, let alone steel bars, it is difficult to make bronze.

I have to eat rice bite by bite, and I have to walk step by step, so I really can't hurry.

"Can wooden beams be used instead of steel bars?"

Chenbei thought about this issue seriously. He had seen someone do this in his previous life. Because he had no money to buy steel bars, he directly built wooden beams. He laid wooden boards on the wooden beams and a layer of five centimeters thick cement on them.

But thinking that such a house would soon crack cement, Chenbei gave up this idea.

"It's really hard to cook without rice!"

Chen Bei felt a headache. Could it be that he could only live directly into the cave like other tribes when encountering these natural disasters?

"No, there is another construction method that can be done without steel bars!"

Chen Bei's eyes lit up and he thought of a kind of house he had seen by chance in his previous life: a dome stone house.

This kind of house is made of stone, not even cement, and the roof is oval and still very strong after thousands of years.

Chenbei naturally did not plan to build a house with stones, because just polishing these stones into flat stone bricks is a time-consuming and laborious project.

He just needs to find a way to fire bricks and cement to create a sturdy dome cement house. If a few columns are added to the house, he will not be afraid even if he has a larger hail than before!

The Mang tribe has rich experience in firing pottery and has even developed towards firing stronger and more beautiful porcelain.

On this basis, it should not be too difficult to burn some blue bricks and cement.

But at the moment, the most important thing is the reconstruction work after the hail.

When it comes to burning blue bricks and cement, you can only put them back and talk about them later if you have time.

Chen Bei walked to Qingzhu's yard, called Qingzhu and the twin sisters, took a lot of healing medicine to visit the tribe's tribe members who were injured by hail.

The leader and the witch came to visit each other and gave the medicine in person. This was a great honor for the injured tribe.

Even those uninjured tribe members were a little jealous and wanted to be hurt by themselves.

Chen Bei said gently: "Healing your wounds well, the tribe will need your help in the future to grow stronger."

A tribe member who was smashed to the head said excitedly: "Don't worry, leader, this injury is nothing, I can go to work tomorrow."

Chen Bei deliberately lowered his face and said, "If you are injured, you should recover from your injuries. What should I do if I am so anxious to do? What should I do if the sun is so strong, so what should I do if the wound is damaged? I will recover the injury before going!"

The tribe member was filled with tears in his eyes by Chen Bei's words. While nodding, he swore in his heart: The leader is so nice to me, he must do more work in the future.

Chen Bei and Qingzhu walked around the tribe, and basically all the people who were seriously injured went to see it and gave medicine.

With the joint encouragement of Chen Bei and Qingzhu, not only those injured were full of fighting spirit, but other tribe members were also rekindled hope.

No one complained anymore, everyone was working hard to save the loss of this hailstorm as much as possible.

A few days later, with the efforts of everyone, the roof of the Mang Tribe was repaired again, and it was stronger than before.

The number of engineering teams led by Hongtu has increased a lot, and their proficiency is also increasing rapidly, and their work efficiency has steadily improved.

The planting areas with the most severe losses have also begun to replant. The crops that were smashed and frozen to death have all been shoveled away and are rescattered with grain crops or vegetables with relatively short planting cycles and higher yields.

The fruit forests also suffered heavy losses, and many unripe fruits were damaged by hail and fell to the ground.

These unripe fruits are all cheaper than the livestock in the breeding area.

The fruits that had not fallen were taken care of by the focus, and the people who were responsible for planting fruit trees wanted to stare at them day and night.

The days passed day by day. A month later, that is, the third month of summer, the Mang tribe basically returned to normal life and production.
