Fearsome Farmer Chapter 59: On digging pits
digging is a simple task.
But if the soil to be excavated reaches 400 cubic meters, it will be very frightening.
When Li Siwen calculated this number himself, he was a little frightened and dumbfounded.
Those muck trucks that used to crash on the street are just pulling more than a dozen square meters. Is the pie he is drawing a bit too much?
"Come, there is food at home, water in the well, shovel in my hand, and inexhaustible strength on my body. As a farmer, I am afraid of a bird?"
hesitated for a few seconds, he still gritted his teeth and excavated, not crazy or evil, for his safe house, rush!
Of course, Li Siwen didn't really dig in desperately. He just kept digging at a uniform speed as much as possible, using the least physical exertion to exchange the most suitable digging efficiency.
It is said that a normal adult works about 10 hours a day and can dig 10 squares of soil. He doesn't ask for too much now, 200 squares of soil a day, and it is not too much to dig in two days.
Well, speak with data.
Li Siwen excavated from about eleven in the morning. By about one noon, he consumed 6:00 physical strength and digging about 20 square meters, which was ten times faster than ordinary people.
While the average person's strength is only 5 and his physical strength is only 10, he now has a strength of 24 and a physical strength of 50.
"Hey, I have nothing to do with this calculation? I'm not writing essays and novels, but this shows that I can do it in two days."
Li Siwen returned to the tree house and cooked a large pot of wild vegetables, mushroom and fish soup in an iron pan. After eating three or four minutes full, he rested for only half an hour, and his physical strength returned to full value.
50 points of stamina is so advantageous.
After eating lunch, he cut a tree that retains vitality for himself through the 4th level logging skill. Now this kind of solid tree has become an important strategic material, if according to the game's statement , At least they are all white quality.
Unfortunately, based on the skill cooldown time, it takes only 24 hours to cut one tree.
After came back, Li Siwen continued to dig the foundation pit, this time he accelerated slightly within the limit of the fine steel shovel.
was digging for another two hours in one breath. This time he consumed 8 points of stamina, but the amount of earth digging out was about 30 cubic meters, which was very good.
Continue to rest for half an hour, and then go to the Manshui Valley to move back the previously made adobe. This kind of thing basically does not consume too much energy, and when there is sufficient food, it will recover quickly. .
When he brought back more than two thousand adobe bricks, he first picked out the adobe bricks with bad appearance, more cracks, and no room for salvage, and built them into the simplest square kiln. This kiln The height of the furnace is about two meters, and there is a fire vent for installing a chimney on the top, and a door on the side.
As for the remaining ones are better in appearance, with fewer cracks, the adobe bricks that have room for rescue are put into this simple kiln vertically, leaving a certain gap between them. The first layer is placed in> shape, and the second layer is placed In a
Then leave a circle of space around and fill up the dry firewood that he chopped and chopped before filling. These firewoods are carefully selected by him. They are not the fast-growing poplar quality that has been drawn from the vitality value, but the vitality is retained. The value, the firewood with more than twice the hardness should be more resistant to burning, and the flame is better. This is what he tried in the stove.
But Li Siwen was not busy with the ignition, because the smoke generated during the daylight is very conspicuous. This is not like the two stoves he lit in the tree house. The amount of wood is small and the smoke is weak. There are four skylights scattered, and it is difficult to find if they are not too close.
So he has to save it till night to light it. Even if there is smoke that can rise up to a hundred meters high, it will not be easy to detect under the cover of darkness.
details, you must pay attention to details.
After finishing all these tasks, more than an hour has passed. Although Li Siwen did not deliberately take a break, his stamina level returned to 50 points smoothly.
So he took a shovel and continued to dig the foundation pit. After two hours of frantic digging, he stopped and inspected the territory, pulling water from the well, preparing to make bricks with mud.
interacting with these several things can speed up the speed and effectively recover the physical strength. It is very good. The only trouble is that you are hungry fast.
When night fell, Li Siwen had dug nearly 80 cubic meters of soil, and the progress bar was quite comfortable.
Forget about the rest, he went to cook himself a big pot of wild vegetables, mushrooms and fish soup. It was a pleasure to eat. It is worth mentioning that this iron pot can hold almost 40 catties of water. The capacity is not too small. A pot of water is matched with wild vegetables and mushrooms, and dried fish as the main dish. The food is better than before and it can fill the stomach.
After dinner, the sky was completely dark, the fields were vast, and I saw stars.
Li Siwen took out the three-meter-long chimney, installed it on the fire outlet above the kiln, and then started to ignite, and sealed the kiln door with the remaining adobe bricks. This can wait for the results.
In fact, he only has a general understanding of the principle and process of burning bricks, but the technical essentials really are not. Anyway, the burned adobe bricks are not afraid of rain soaking no matter how bad they are.
After a while, the firewood in the kiln burned, the firewood crackled, and a stream of smoke rose straight up from the chimney. It seems that this day’s worth of work is not wrong~IndoMTL.com~ Otherwise, he would be true. Worry that the firewood will not burn fully.
About half an hour later, the flame in the kiln gradually increased, and many flame tongues could drill through the cracks in the bricks outside.
A few feet of fire sprang up above the chimney.
Li Siwen was holding a mountain axe and watching quietly, feeling a little nervous. He only knew that the temperature and the degree of sealing determine the hardness of the fired brick.
And this simple kiln is impossible to pursue sealing, but the amount of wood he stuffed is a lot, and there is a gap in the middle, so it should be, almost, maybe it can be done?
The firing of this furnace is purely to gain experience and to burn better bricks. Next, he will use these bricks to rebuild a stronger and more airtight furnace. Tiles and water tanks are needed. Relying on that stove to fire, in order to fire into power, he can be considered to be racking his brains.
Next, Li Siwen did not continue to look at the kiln, nor did he go to dig a foundation pit. Instead, he brought in a few buckets thick logs and cut them into one meter with a steel saw with a wooden handle. The long piece of wood is then cut into pieces of wood from the cross section, with a thickness of ten centimeters as the standard.
These wooden boards can be used to lay the floor of the tree house or the roof of the tree house, which is very useful.
The raging flame in the kiln lasted until midnight, and Li Siwen saw it for so long and produced more than 200 wooden boards.
At this point, he yawned, and the day's work was almost over.
checked the kiln. The condition inside was unknown and the temperature was too high. I had to wait for tomorrow to dismantle the furnace.
So Li Siwen unloaded the more precious pig iron chimney, returned to the tree house, sealed the skylight, routinely added a little soul value, raised the soul development to 48%, and quickly fell asleep.
