Shannon Island Lord

Chapter 11 Building a House

Time passed by little by little, and Zhou Yu climbed to the highest point of the island at around five o'clock in the afternoon—that is, the hill he saw at the beginning, which was less than a hundred meters high.

Standing at the highest point and looking around the whole island, I realized that the altitude of the island is very low. Except for the hill at the foot which he named "Xiannong Mountain", the rest of the place is almost plain. If all the trees are cut down If you drop it, you can build buildings without changing the terrain.

"After reviving my parents, this island, which combines technology and agriculture in the future, is probably almost developed. It's really good to retire here!"

Zhou Yu secretly remembered this matter in his heart.

When we got down the mountain and returned to the camp, it was already dark.

Pile up the firewood, take out a high-tech lighter, the flame is only two inches long, but has a high temperature of 1500 degrees, higher than a flamethrower, and the firewood is ignited in one go.

After the flame was lit, Zhou Yu took out the water and the pot to boil the water for instant noodles.

At this stage, I can only cope with it like this.

After eating the instant noodles, Zhou Yu shouted comfortably.Then start working energetically - expanding the pond.

Once the farmland is reclaimed, it needs to be irrigated with fresh water, and this water can only come from this small pond.

During the survey in the afternoon, the water in this pond comes from the mountainside of that mountain, which is similar to mountain spring water.In order not to waste water, we had to re-dig a large circular pond and then use it for water storage.

As for felling trees, it can only be done during the day.

There are many things, but only one thing will come.

The function of the spiritual weapon hoe once again made Zhou Yu feel that he was not tired from working.

When digging a pond again, when the first hoe is dug down, it feels like digging a hole on the beach, which is extremely simple.

As a result, Zhou Yu originally planned to finish the pond in two or three nights, but he just finished it around eleven o'clock in the evening.

One person, within three to four hours, a pond with a width of two meters and a depth of six meters appeared.

Getting up from the bottom of the pit is also easy. He dug a soil ladder with a shovel, which made it easier to get water. He also used a shovel to make the walls and bottom of the pit firm so that the soil would not always fall into it after storing water. .

He had to lament that he wisely chose these two tools, which saved him a lot of time.

After the pit was dug, the next step was to divert water.

After the original branch of the pond was blocked, a new branch was dug to lead it into the pit. In this way, there were two ponds.

The water in the first pond can be used for drinking, brushing teeth and washing face, etc. As for the second pond, in addition to bathing, irrigating crops, as for fish farming, I plan to dig a few more in the future.

After taking a bath in the first pond, Zhou Yu went to sleep, after all, he had to do things the next day.

Silent all night.

The next day, the Fourth of July.

In the morning, Zhou Yu woke up to the sound of chirping birds. He boiled some water in a pot. After washing, he simply ate some instant noodles with the boiled water and started his day's work again.

Today is the [-]th of July, the fifth day of landing on the island. Zhou Yu continued to cut down trees to build a house. He also wanted to sleep on a hard bed instead of lying in that stretcher-like shed.

The mountain ax once again played its powerful role. Basically, a tree fell down without three hits, and then continued to the next one.

The house he chose to build is going to fall in some dense tree areas, that is, it will not be far from the water source, and it is also convenient for the "foundation" of the house to be built.

He chose a place with dense forests, and he planned to use the trunks of these trees as the "foundation" of the house.

Erect the house on these one-meter-high tree trunks, which saves time and effort, and gives yourself time to build the foundation.

The general pattern was repeated in his mind many times, during which he spent another merit point to redeem a hundred fir boards from the system, all of which were one meter wide, three meters long, and two centimeters thick.

These sizes can be requested by himself, so he doesn't have to cut them one by one.

The format of the house is six meters long, five meters wide, and three meters high, with a distance of one meter on each side to form a corridor, so the movable area in this room is four meters by three meters.

This "single room" of twelve square meters is enough for him to live in without any sundries.

In this way, every day, Zhou Yu got up during the day to build the house, and at night he used a tape measure to measure the trees he cut down, and then cut them down one by one for subsequent construction.

Things were proceeding urgently according to Zhou Yu's plan.The floor was laid in the first two days, and the "foundation" was stabilized with iron wires, nails, and wood. After that, the walls were laid.

If his physique hadn't been strengthened by the purple spirit liquid, it would be impossible for him to carry out such a strong workload every day.

When the time came to July [-]th, the sixth day of the mission, the floor of the house had been laid and the surroundings had been built, but the roof was the only thing left.

Only the laying of the roof slowed Zhou Yu down.

After all, the floor and four walls are not considered technical.

The floor is built on wood, without piling or the like, as long as three planks (three meters wide, exactly the length of one plank) are arranged on the ground, and the other two planks are nailed at the upper and lower positions, it becomes a simple plank. of puzzle pieces.And the split board is then firmly tied to the trunk with nails and iron wires.

The walls are also made of spliced ​​wooden boards in the same way, but he drilled a few small holes in these wooden boards with nails and screwdrivers.

He first specially selected a long wood about four meters long, and the top was transformed into a cross-like long wood. After burying it in the ground for one meter, he put the large wooden boards that were assembled into wall panels on the floor and passed them through with iron wires. The small hole in the plank is then bound and fixed with the wood.

Then use long nails from the bottom to the top to nail the floor planks and wall planks together.

There are fifteen long logs on all sides, and the planks are fixed to the logs, and the planks are fixed to the planks. With the long nails at the bottom, the wall is completely stabilized.

But so it was, the three and a half wooden walls took him three or four days to complete.Now the roof is missing.

However, for the erection of the roof, he intends to use a single-slope roof, but before erecting the roof, he also needs to lay tarpaulins on the wooden boards, which can not only reduce the direct exposure of the wooden boards to the sun and rain, but also prevent the roof from leaking.

He planned to spend a week or so in the evening on this roof.

Why is it night?

Because Zhou Yu took over the mission on the sixth day after the mission appeared.

Within seven days, one mu of land suitable for seed crops will be reclaimed, and then seeds will be purchased and planted.

Therefore, during the daytime, he can only use it to cultivate the land.

When it comes to measuring land, he grew up in the countryside, and there is a simple soil method for measuring land.

An adult about 1.7 meters or 1.8 meters, in a straight line, takes sixteen steps forward with the largest stride, and then takes fifteen steps to the left or right,
Then the area calculated by the length and width is one mu of land.

Because the maximum stride of an adult is about five feet, one foot is equal to 0.3333333 meters, and five feet is 1.6666665 meters.

The result of sixteen steps is multiplied by the result of fifteen steps, which is the area of ​​one mu of land.

Although there are some deviations in footstep measurement, it is the easiest way if there is no measurement tool.

When he was a child, he often saw the villagers measure the fields in this way.

Now that there is a tape measure, there is no need to spend that time. A square is about 26 meters long and wide. Although it is a little bit too big, it can be ignored.
