Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 106 Building a Kiln

After securing the farmland, the space on the Kunpeng is not as empty as before.

Looking at this dark land, Chen Xuan felt full and relieved.

Feeling the pile of metal parts in the cabin at his feet, he planned to divide the remaining space into another area and build a kiln.

Before, every time he smelted metal, he was either in the Times Building or on Dongji Mountain.

However, he is now on the "Kunpeng" after all, and smelting metal parts and other items requires a very high temperature, and the wooden deck must not be used as a smelting venue.

When the time comes to burn metal, maybe it will turn into burning boats.

Even if the "Kunpeng" can repair itself, it will still consume materials, which is not a long-term solution.

What's more...

Feeling the sudden weakness and pain in his body, Chen Xuan sat down slowly while supporting the outer wall of the wooden house.

Now his body is not as good as before.

Burning items for a long time like before requires a lot of mental power, and now I need to cultivate my health and rest.

Although burning in a kiln may consume more fuel, it can free him up and eliminate the need to use the "flame injection module" frequently.

And the kiln can be used to grill some food in the future, such as barbecue, potatoes, leeks...

Thinking of this, he seemed to have smelled a meaty aroma mixed with cumin.

In any case, a kiln dedicated to smelting items is necessary.

The outbreak of snake venom was very short, about less than 1 minute. Although the first experience was painful, he is now used to it.

After resting for a while and recovering some strength, Chen Xuan started to fight.

Although Chen Xuan didn't know much about the design and construction of kilns, he had watched the clay kilns made by the people in the scientific research department before on Dongji Mountain, which could be built with only stones and soil.

Now I just need to draw a gourd according to the same pattern,
Coincidentally, he picked up a pile of stones before Dongji Mountain, which can be used now.

The kiln does not have much technical content, and it is only for personal use, and does not need to take up too much space.

He estimated that the kiln would occupy an area of ​​about two square meters. After some consideration, he set the location of the kiln about one meter away from the wooden house.

In this way, when firing the kiln, he can also warm his wooden house by the way.

Chen Xuan first used stones to pad a 20-centimeter square as the foundation. This height can prevent the high temperature in the kiln from being transmitted to the floor.

Next, he mixed gravel with soil and water, and built up the arched kiln roof bit by bit on the foundation. The height is expected to be a little more than half a meter.

As long as the top is completed, the prototype of the kiln is completed.

Chen Xuan started to use homemade mud to paste the walls up, and the height of the kiln was getting higher and higher. In the end, only the top seal was left.

Even though it was his first time playing in mud, so far everything has been going well.

However, just as he was carefully covering the last gap with a whole piece of mud, the soil suddenly loosened.

Then there was a "crack", and the top of the kiln fell into a puddle of mud. Not only that, but soon the walls on both sides also began to collapse.

my day...

Looking at the collapsed kiln roof, Chen Xuan felt his blood pressure rise.

What had taken hours of work was ruined, which meant he had to start all over again.

This feeling is a bit like a hard-working paper being deleted with one click.

Taking two deep breaths, Chen Xuan slowly calmed down.

It's just starting all over again.

After all, he is a handicraft expert. After studying handicrafts for so many years, Chen Xuan has already developed patience beyond ordinary people.

After being built and collapsed several times, Chen Xuan continued to absorb experience, added a certain amount of gel and combined with the flame injection module to shape the kiln roof.

Most of the day passed, and the entire kiln was finally completed.

The completed earthen kiln has an overall dark color and a streamlined structure. The entrance of the kiln is the lowest and gets higher and higher at the back. It looks like half an egg upside down.

This design can maximize the combustion efficiency of the kiln.

In addition, he added a small iron plate as an iron gate to the kiln mouth, and opened a small chimney upwards.

When using it, you only need to pile up the fuel through the kiln mouth to the innermost part of the kiln, then put the items you want to burn at the kiln mouth, and close the small iron door of the kiln mouth.

But that's not the end.

Handmade expert module, start!
White light bloomed in front of his eyes.

Since the optimization level is relatively low this time, the kiln was optimized in less than a moment.

"The kiln has been optimized for the first time, increasing the efficiency of the effect! (Speed ​​up the corresponding work efficiency of the item.)"

The appearance of the optimized kiln has changed from the original black to the off-white of the stone, and the overall lines are smoother, and the foundation of the kiln and the roof of the kiln are more closely integrated, as if they are integrated.

Although the kiln before Chen Xuan's optimization can be used, it has to be left for at least seven days to wait for the kiln to be fully finalized.

After system optimization, this is already a mature kiln and can be put into use at any time.

It saves time and effort and is indeed a system.

The current progress of the manual expert module is 63%, and it is not known whether he can complete the upgrade in his lifetime.

The system has added a special effect of "efficiency", which is the same effect as the fresh water collector that Chen Xuan made before.

Now the fresh water collector at the door of the wooden house is still one of his important sources of fresh water, working hard every day.

On the other side, there are also two wooden barrels placed in the corner of the wooden house. In the middle of the wooden barrels are inlaid huge and rough coral tubes, and part of the seawater is still stored in the coral tubes.

Seawater slowly seeps down from the tiny holes in the coral tubes, and what drips out is actually light and transparent water.

This is another method of collecting fresh water that Chen Xuan learned from the Dongji Mountain. After simple processing, the local specialty mutated coral tubes can filter seawater.

No need for the sun, no need for heat, it can directly transform into fresh water resources.

So at present, Chen Xuan's fresh water resources are very rich, and he can even take a bath with fresh water at ordinary times.

At the beginning, the days when one sip of water was taken as two sips of water are long gone.

In the future, kilns and land will also start to play a role on the "Kunpeng".

At that time, I don't know what impact it will have on his life.

Soon after, the sails of the "Kunpeng" were also upgraded.

At this point, the transformation of the "Kunpeng" has been completed.
