Pokemon Settler
Chapter 189 Building an Awning
After leaving the furry sheep to play and exercise in the temporary training ground, Rock took the elves back to the camp and started making breakfast today.
Abo blames them for not having any idea of staying and playing together. They are well-informed and have no novelty in this simple training ground.
Chenglong wanted to stay here and watch for a while, but after seeing everyone go back, he immediately followed them.
Make fires, boil water, and process ingredients.
In the busy life of reclamation, Roque often cannot cook too exquisitely. Boiling and baking are his most common cooking methods.
I don't know if I'm going to Sunshine Town soon. Rock's mind is now full of all kinds of delicacies in Sunshine Town, and this ordinary breakfast has become a bit unpalatable.
It's a pity that there is no room for picky eaters in the wilderness. Every piece of food is extremely precious. In the end, Rock and the elves ate all the breakfast without any leftover.
This morning Rock was going to set up some camping beds and canopies over the tool boxes, so that he wouldn't have to worry about heavy rains damaging the items inside after he left.
At the same time, the awning can also avoid the embarrassing situation of not being able to sleep on the bed on rainy days.
In addition to building an awning, Rock is also preparing to make a camping bed for Chenglong, which is what he promised last night.
The main building materials used were the oak wood he had just cut down with Geranium, and the boiled birch bark he had saved before.
Before starting to build, Rock had to process the wood he had just harvested.
Rock expects the canopies and camping cots to last another year before construction on the house begins next year.
So this time he handled it more carefully. Not only did he peel off the skin of all the branches, but he also asked Heiluga to dry all the wood.
Rock's elves each have their own special work skills. Geranium is good at cutting and transporting work, and Arbor is good at carrying and digging work.
The Heiluga is good at baking tasks. Whether it is burning charcoal or drying wood, it is familiar with it.
Chenglong looked at Hei Lujia who was spitting out flames and working hard, and finally showed admiration in his eyes, which made Hei Lujia feel very proud.
Although it was still concentrating on baking the wood on the surface, its rapidly wagging tail still revealed its mood at this time.
When the outer skin of these oaks is just peeled off, the wood inside is grayish yellow. As the black Lugar flame is slowly baked, the color gradually becomes darker and the wood grain texture becomes more and more obvious. Finally, it is baked into a burnt yellow color. .
At this point, the oak wood is almost ready for use. Although it is not as good as the wood that Roque specially collected for building houses and uses atmospheric drying, it is enough to last for a year.
After taking care of the oak, Rock was ready to make Chenglong’s camping bed.
As a water elf, Chenglong doesn't have to worry about moisture on the ground, and its body structure is not suitable for beds that are too elevated.
So the bed designed by Luo Ke for Chenglong is shaped like a sleeping platform.
He cut off a forty centimeter long section from the thickest oak trunk, and then asked Heiluga to burn one end black to about twenty centimeters.
Then he took the electric saw and gently cut the tree trunk section at the other end.
After cutting out crisscrossing horizontal and vertical carvings of varying depths, Rock used a hammer and chisel to knock out the large and small wood blocks divided by the carvings, and finally smoothed the uneven wood stubble.
This end of the whole piece of oak becomes a concave surface with a deep middle and shallow edges. Kind of like a wooden tub, but not as deep.
Rock dug a circular pit twenty centimeters deep in the ground, buried the carbonized end of the wood underground, and compacted it with soil. Then a thick layer of spruce needles was laid on the concave surface, and a layer of birch bark was laid on top, and the dragon's bed was ready.
The edge of the bed is only twenty centimeters from the ground, and Chenglong can easily jump on it. And considering that Chenglong's size will grow later, the bed can also be spliced directly around the bed in the same way.
In addition, solid logs are used as the base, which can easily support Chenglong's weight as an adult.
Boooo~
As soon as Rock made the bed, Chenglong, who had been lying on top of the Arbo monster and watching, couldn't wait to jump on it and rolled around on it. He was so comfortable that he didn't want to get off.
Ha ha
Luo Ke looked at Chenglong's current appearance, which was exactly the same as when Abo blamed them for getting his bed.
Finally, he carved a pattern that looked like a vortex of water and the ears of a dragon on the oak at the base of the bed. As a symbol of the dragon, he announced that the bed was completely completed.
Next, Rock will start to build the awning. The awning is actually not difficult.
First dig a pit at the planned location, then carbonize the bottom of the pillar and bury it in it.
The length of the pillars is two high and two low, just enough to form a pitched roof.
Rock saw a bayonet at the top of each pillar, just enough for two beams to be set up and down.
Then he nailed some rafters vertically between each beam as a bracket to fix the purlins, and the entire awning frame was basically completed.
The next step is to put on the tiles. The material for the tiles that Roque is currently using is the birch bark that he has been collecting before.
Birch bark itself has good waterproof and corrosion resistance. After being boiled, it has a certain degree of flexibility and will not be damaged easily. It is very suitable for use as a temporary awning roof.
Rock's birch barks are basically rectangles fifty centimeters long and thirty centimeters wide.
He punched holes with nails in the two corners of each long side of birch bark, and then tied the entire bark to a thin wooden strip with a thin leather rope.
The birch bark on the wooden strips is not tied side by side, but pressed one on top of the other. The bark on the left covers an area of about 30 centimeters on the bark on the right.
In this way, layers of wooden strips tied with birch bark form a purlin.
The purlins are also tied to the previously nailed rafters with leather ropes from bottom to top.
About half of the birch bark on each purlin covers the purlin below. In addition, if the bark on the lower purlin is stacked from left to right, then the bark on the upper purlin is stacked from right to left.
In this way, birch bark is covered layer by layer. The thickness of birch bark per unit area can almost reach six layers, which can very tightly block the erosion of rainwater.
Moreover, the leather rope will tighten after encountering water, so that the birch bark will be fixed more firmly.
Looking at the several solid and stable awnings after completion, Rock felt that he was no longer afraid of another heavier rainstorm.
