Chapter VIII Food and Force

At the base, Zhang Quan and Lao Kate discussed major events in the tribe.

In the past few days, with the rapid increase in the number of wandering orcs from all over the tribe, various things exploded rapidly, almost making Old Kate unable to greet him quickly, and the affairs in the tribe urgently need to be sorted out.

The population in the base quickly increased to nearly 300 within a week, such as Doug, Gott, Bill, Boer, Pig... All orcs of all races are all pitiful people who cannot survive in the current wasteland environment. Under Zhang Quan's order, Old Kate was taken in.

Among these orc races, the Doug Gottpig centaurs and other races are traditional disadvantaged races among orcs. The individual body and strength are relatively small, and the reaction speed is not advantageous. The overall combat power of the race is low, and they are generally vassal races of those traditional big races.

Bilbools are basically the main races among orcs, with huge physiques and great strength. Although the reaction speed is not sensitive, they are very suitable for being the main heavy infantry in wars. Therefore, they have always been large clans in orc groups.

As for the Berg race, it is considered an alien among the orc race. Although its physique and strength are not strong, the advantage of being able to fly allows them to occupy a place in the power map formed by the orcs' natural elimination for thousands of years.

However, among all the races that Zhang Quan has seen, there are no orcs who really belong to the war group born for war in the wasteland. Such powerful war races such as Tiger, Ryan, and Wolf are the real core of combat power in the orc group.

According to the historical tradition of orc civilization, these fierce and aggressive strong fighting races have always been high on the relatively strong combat power of individual races, and are accustomed to wantonly depriving and exploiting other weak groups with their strong combat power, not participating in any production activities, and belonging to the real ruling class on the wasteland. Zhang Quan is not as lucky as to see these. This is also related to the relatively remote area where Zhang Quan and his team are located, and their power is still very weak.

After Kate told Zhang Quan about the general historical background of the formation of these orc races, he told him about the problems facing the base in front of him.

First of all, the most important thing is food.

There are nearly 300 orcs in the base now, and this number will continue to increase in the future. In the foreseeable future, the total number of orcs in the base is likely to exceed the 500 mark.

If these five hundred orcs want to eat enough, they will also have a great burden on Zhang Quan's food supply.

It is hard to imagine how big the orcs have an appetite. Here you can just calculate it. The food consumption difference between these orcs is quite different. Races like Berg Doug, according to their size, have to eat only about three to five kilograms of food brought by Zhang Quan every day, while those of the Taurus Bill, consume more than ten kilograms of food per day. Each of them is well-deserved big belly!

Among them, every adult tauren has an average height of nearly three meters, each with a large waist and a round waist, and weighs more than 500 kilograms. With such a huge body, the calories required to maintain life every day are a very huge number.

In this way, finally, the total consumption of these 300 orcs in the base costs three or four thousand kilograms per day, which is about one and a half ton of tons of grain. The total amount of 50 tons and 100,000 kilograms of grain is 100,000 kilograms of grain per month.

Hearing this, Zhang Quan, who was proud of his back to the earth's productivity with a complete modern industrial background, couldn't help but grin, deeply shocked by the appetite of the big-bellied men under his command. Raising these guys is definitely not a small amount of money just by raising these guys!

According to this calculation, Zhang Quan will definitely not be able to buy food in the small grain shops on the market every day on Earth, and he will not be able to keep up with the consumption. In the future, he will definitely think of some more powerful ways to stabilize his food supply.

In short, this is the biggest event the base faces, and the core of everything will run around it.

Then there is the second, armed.

Although the expansion of the base on the wasteland is very smooth and there are no obstacles, it is because the living conditions of the orcs in winter are poor, and having food is basically equivalent to everything. Those hungry and stray orcs seem very obedient in the face of sufficient food supply, without the slightest sense of challenge.

But this situation is only for the moment.

The expansion momentum in the base is terrible, and the number of orcs has grown very fast. Zhang Quan's order to recruit soldiers and horses has become famous in the surrounding area for thousands of miles. This reputation has brought a large number of stray orcs to the base, and it has also brought great danger to the base.

First of all, with more orcs on the base, the order will be chaotic, which actually means hidden dangers. More and more orcs may not think about seizing power for the time being under the grain, but it is difficult to guarantee that no one will think so in the future. If the orcs who come to join together gather together, if there is no stronger force suppression in the base, they will definitely not always obey the orders of Old Kate and others. These orcs are indeed very honest and simple in nature, but it does not mean that they are all fools!

In addition to the inside of the base, there are also external threats. Within a radius of thousands of miles, there are still several relatively powerful orc tribes, such as the Iron Fort of the Taurus Iron Hammer Tribe in the north and the Pige tribes connected in the southwest. These large tribes have a total population of more than a few thousand people and are strong in total combat power. After hearing the news that there is a large amount of food in the base, they will definitely have a covetous desire for the base.

If those large tribes mobilize, they will often have hundreds of fully equipped powerful orc warriors. Once they are killed, they will be a disaster for genocide. This is what Old Kate and the others have always been most afraid of.

Therefore, the most urgent task in building a base is to have enough self-protection ability. Whether internally or externally, internally integrate and suppress different voices within the base, and externally, you must face the force of the enemy's hostile tribes.

There is nothing harmonious in this world. It is the real prey of the weak. If you have enough resources here, you must match enough force. Otherwise, you will be embarrassed to walk between the market with gold and others who don’t rob you.

Zhang Quan thought about it and this was actually the same as what the Taurus Gailon proposed yesterday. To strengthen the military skills, build a blacksmith shop here first. It can not only make tools used by orcs, but also make and transform weapons and armor.

Kate was still coughing, and said with relief: "Actually, although the weapons you brought us a few days ago are not suitable for us orcs, the quality of the steel is very good and extremely tough and sharp. If you make a slight change in those weapons, we can use them, and it won't be wasted."

What he was talking about was naturally the alloy knives and tools that Zhang Quan brought from the earth. In fact, the orcs did not dislike it, but they could actually be changed and used.

For example, those machetes are too short, but if you add a long wooden handle, you can change it to a long sword that orcs can use. Those crossbow arrows and arrows can also be used, just add an arrow shaft.

In short, the orcs are all used to suffering and have always had the good habit of being thrifty. You should know that until now, the orcs in the base still had two meals, and they did not eat and drink unscrupulously just because Zhang Quan promised to supply enough food. PS:

On the page, I saw a brother vote for the urge to update 12,000 tomorrow, which scared me. This 12,000 is not possible. I will add another chapter today, give me a discount, and I will be there later.
