Chapter 93 - Chapter 93: Saltpeter, Sulfur, and Charcoal

The construction work on the mountain stronghold is already halfway through, now they are building the stronghold walls.

To ensure adequate defense, the stronghold walls also need to have a foundation laid.

Of course, unlike modern reinforced concrete, the foundation here is made of wooden stakes.

To accommodate two to three thousand people, the stronghold walls must also be long enough.

A suitable location must be found. If the ground is too hard, with rocks beneath, it's definitely not suitable as the stakes won't penetrate.

After finally finding a suitable place, they need to outline the baseline, cut trees, chisel rocks, and dig the foundation.

The birds and beasts of the surrounding forests have long been startled away.

As workers dug the foundation, they hadn't even dug fifty centimeters deep before reaching a layer of filthy black soil.
