PS: I am asking for everything for the new book, flowers, monthly tickets, review tickets, and rewards! . Chapter 9: Sudden rain, change of plan! Speaking of the reservoir, I have to praise the silly Huo Le in the original work. The inverted pyramid-shaped pool in the original book is indeed a good design. Not only is it easy to construct, it can also effectively reduce the dangers caused by accidental falls into the water. Because there are 45-degree slopes on all sides, it is very easy to climb out if you fall into the water. Su Mo dug in the same way. However, he also built a three-meter-wide staircase on all four sides. This makes it convenient to fetch water when the water level in the reservoir is low, and it also makes it easier to clean the reservoir later. Dig the hole, build the steps, and hammer down the four sides of the pool.
And cover it with a circle of salt soil to prevent salt from dissolving into the pool. By noon, a reservoir with a length and width of 100 meters and a size of one hectare was completed. It was located to the west of the big tree near the stream. During this period, a killer rabbit was also harvested and delivered to the door. Su Mo returned home, processed the fresh rabbit, and made two dishes while the meat was still fresh. I also tried making one with bacon, and found that it really wasn’t that tasty. Besides, I've been eating rabbit meat, bean sprouts and seaweed for two days in a row, and to be honest, I'm starting to get a little sick of it. The oil made from rabbit fat has a bit of a weird smell after the freshness wears off... "It seems there are still giant wild boars here. When can we encounter one? If not, we have to consider going out hunting." Su Mo muttered to himself while eating lunch. Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard a ticking sound above my head. Su Mo quickly looked out the window and found that it was raining! "Well, it looks like I can't do anything else today." Looking at the thick dark clouds in the sky, Su Mo shrugged. After lunch, I stayed in the house and started working with the rabbit skin. There must have been a reason why he left three rabbit skins behind and didn't take them back to Hestia. He prepared a piece of tanned leather to use as a pillow pad for added comfort. Two are prepared to make a new pair of shoes. He only has this one set of clothes, and he won't have any replacements if they get worn out in the short term. There is nothing you can do with your clothes for now, but you can change your shoes.
Otherwise, if you step on it every day, it will break sooner or later, and you will be embarrassed to see others wearing it. Besides, the weather is hot now, and the pair of boots that come with the outfit are stuffy and not very comfortable to wear. Taking into account the strength requirement for the soles, Su Mo cut two soles of the right size from a piece of raw leather, placed them under a heavy stone and pressed them down. After a while, they would automatically harden and he would get a pair of soles with good hardness and smoothness. Throw the remaining two sheets, plus a new one, into the wood ash water and soak them thoroughly. During this time, Su Mo took advantage of his free time to make some more arrows. It is called an arrow, but in fact it is just a small pistol with an iron head, because it has no feathers. However, since the bow is a universal tool, even a pointed wooden stick without an arrowhead will do. Su Mo tried it and found that its power could easily penetrate more than a dozen large trees with a diameter of more than one meter. The range is at least a few hundred meters, just like a laser. I felt it was pretty good, so I did dozens of them. And made a quiver out of iron, with only the bottom and frame, on which the quiver could be hung from the belt. He planned to wait until the day when he really wanted to eat pork and then go to the woods to try his luck. After the rabbit skin is soaked thoroughly, take it out, use a knife to remove the grease on the inner layer, then wash it with clean water, and then dehydrate and dry it. Then, it’s tomorrow’s business. Tanning leather is very time-consuming, especially the original hand-tanned leather, the process takes at least four to five days. This repeated soaking and drying process takes up most of the time. Seeing that it was still raining outside and Su Mo had nothing to do, he began to experiment with making some mechanical parts with iron. Such as rolling bearings or something. If you want to make any machine in the future, you will have to use this thing. Although it is okay to not have some primitive machines, it is definitely better to be prepared if they are developed early. The rain didn't stop until dark. The sound of the dripping rain was very hypnotic. Su Mo went to bed early after dinner. …… The fourth day of building the dimensional city. When Su Mo woke up early in the morning, he realized that he had been careless. After the rain, the firewood outside the house was soaked! The firewood previously stored in the house wasn’t even enough for today’s use! Even if you can burn the converted coal, you can only burn it outside the house. If you burn it inside the house, you will probably get carbon monoxide poisoning! Although he would not be poisoned at all, his perfect body was immune to all toxins.
But if there is no fire starter, the coal won’t burn! Admittedly, this was a huge mistake. And misfortunes never come alone! Yesterday, when we were digging the reservoir, we dug up a pile of mud as big as a small mountain and piled it next to the reservoir. Originally, Su Mo was going to use it as building material for building waterways. Now it is in a mess due to the rain. A lot of mud and water even flowed back into the pool! "What the hell..." When Su Mo saw this scene, he couldn't help but swear. They quickly surrounded the dirt mountain with logs to prevent more mud and water from flowing out. Then they moved all the firewood out to dry in the sun. Fortunately, since it rained, we don’t need to water the crops today. Otherwise, there's no way I'd do anything else this morning. The only thing that comforted Su Mo was that the fungi he had planted before had grown. There's new food to eat! After comforting himself a little with a meal of stewed mushrooms and bacon, Su Mo started building the house again. He wanted to build a shed, a woodshed, a storage room, a smelting workshop, and a toilet! The shed is used to store undried firewood and timber. The woodshed stores usable firewood, and there is also some leftover firewood from his carpentry work, which he uses to burn in order to avoid waste. The storage room is used to store food in the future. After all, he had madly planted dozens of hectares of staple food, and he would definitely need to store it when the time came. The smelting workshop means exactly what it says, it is used for smelting and forging. The main reason was that Su Mo felt that it was not good for the blast furnace to be exposed to the rain outside, so he decided to make it more formal. I won’t explain the toilet, those who understand will understand. For the construction location, Su Mo chose the southwest, next to the pond and fields. Su Mo plans to develop this area into a building complex in the future. Being close to the water source makes it convenient for water collection and sewage discharge, and being next to the fields also makes it convenient for storage after the harvest. After Su Mo cut down the trees and cleared the land, built fences and did not dig trenches, he started to build the toilet first.
A pit was dug in the southwest corner of the reservoir, south of the designated waterway. It is five by five in size and two meters deep, with one high entrance and one low entrance at each end. The high end leads to the toilet, and the low end is the sewage outlet leading to the sewer. Cover and seal the top, and the septic tank is ready. In the toilet. Su Mo made an S-shaped mold out of wood, wrapped it with clay, hammered it solid, and burned some bricks with siphon sewage pipes in a blast furnace. The siphon can isolate sewage from backflow and odor, so that the straight-through toilet will not be filled with a foul stench like in the original book. The toilet is a solid clay seat with a polished inner wall and a wooden washer on top. For drainage, the pipes are also made of clay, with a circle of bumps at the front and back. They fit tightly together when connected, and then hidden underground to reach the septic tank to ensure that no odor leaks out. By the way, Su Mo also built a bathroom next to it. In fact, it is just a compartment separated from the toilet with a drainage pipe on the ground. Build a three-by-three small house to wrap it up, and a two-purpose bathroom will be ready. …To be continued… PS: I am looking forward to the launch of my new book! Flowers, monthly tickets, review tickets, and rewards! . Chapter 10 Fortune and Misfortune, the Second Visitor! (Edited) [Please Collect] Next is the woodshed. This is easy to do. All you have to do is build the frame and then put the roof on it; you don’t even have to make walls. This had already been built when Su Mo was burning the siphon in the blast furnace. Now, cover the roof with tiles, and a shed of ten by twenty will be completed. Then, Su Mo built a small four-by-four firewood shed next to the wooden shed. Since it was not used for living, Su Mo built a low house with simple details. As for the storage room, considering the area requirements, you may even have to build a basement or a cellar. So there is no rush for now, build a smelting workshop first. Just as he was thinking this, Su Mo heard a loud sound of hoofsteps coming from the forest. When he turned around, he saw a wild boar with red mane on its head and back, more than two meters tall, and a pair of fangs nearly one meter long, like two sharp swords, rushing towards him. When Su Mo saw this, instead of being panicked, he felt somewhat happy. The big wild boar that I had been longing for finally appeared! The universal tool transformed into a long sword, and Su Mo went straight forward to meet it.
We can't let the wild boars come over, otherwise they will definitely destroy the fence and the buildings inside. With the help of the weapon, Su Mo moved very quickly and jumped over the fence in an instant, arriving above the wild boar's head. The sword flashed! Cut it off!
