Pokemon Settler

Chapter 67 Worm Box

Well, not only do we need to produce honey as soon as possible, but we also need to open a vegetable garden. Next time we go to Sunshine Town to replenish supplies, we can buy some vegetable seeds.

Rock used a knife to cut the barbecue into small strips and mechanically put it into his mouth. Now he actually wanted to eat vegetables.

Chub!

Bah!

The Abo Monster and Bayleaf on the side nodded in agreement. Dairubi didn't understand why they didn't want to eat such fragrant barbecue. He sniffed the barbecue in front of him and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, lowered his head and started to eat.

Haha, you guy, next time I go to Sunshine Town, I will take you to the Heart of Speedy Swimming to try it.

After eating a few more bites, Rock gave the roasted meat in his hand to the curious Speaker Cricket and Master Yuan.

Rock has become familiar with these neighbors living in the oak forest these days. Unexpectedly, the speaker crickets gave him a lot of dried fruits after collecting Rock's barbecue.

Rock didn't recognize the type of dried fruit. It tasted sour and sweet. After eating it, he wanted honey even more.

The next day he came to the orchard early and checked around. All the saplings were growing vigorously. Leaving the bay leaves to water, Rock took the tools and walked towards the wood that was dried yesterday.

When setting off from Sunshine Town, Rock mainly carried a variety of tools, which naturally included carpentry-related items.

He simply nailed a workbench with two wooden stakes. Rock asked Arbor to place a piece of wood on it and use ink lines to draw vertical lines with an even width of five centimeters on it. He picked up the saw and started to divide it. board.

The worm box that Rock is going to make is a cube wooden box with a side length of 40 centimeters. There is no wooden board on one side of the wooden box.

One piece of basswood can probably make fifty such wooden boxes. He only needs to use two pieces of wood to make a hundred boxes.

The reason why it is called a bug box instead of a beehive is because Rock wants to catch unicorn bugs instead of giant needles.

In the wild, giant tits often travel in groups, are very territorial, and will attack any invading enemy. Therefore, it is difficult to capture, let alone tame them to collect honey.

If you start with unicorn worms, they are less likely to attack the beekeeper, so basically all apiaries start with unicorn worms.

Of course, if the beekeeper's strength is too weak, after a long time there will still be situations where he cannot suppress the large swarm and will be attacked by the swarm while collecting honey.

Rock knew how to tame wild unicorn beetles and establish a bee farm from old Joseph.

They originally made a bet, and the bet was Old Joseph's method of brewing mead. After the opponent lost, he not only told Roque the secret recipe, but also the method of collecting the titanium.

When the wood was half open, the bay leaf came over after watering it. Seeing Rock sawing wood, he excitedly wanted to help.

Then just open this piece of wood. I'll draw a line for you later. I'll cut along the ink line later.

After Rock drew the line on the other piece of wood, he left it to Bayleaf to play with.

This is his first time doing woodworking, so he may not be any better than Bayleaf.

Now that we have begun to reclaim wasteland, carpentry is a necessary skill. Rock wanted to take the opportunity to practice his skills by making a worm box, so he chose a mortise and tenon structure instead of nails.

He used a simple and reliable dovetail, a trapezoidal tenon that is wide at the end and narrow at the base.

First use a ruler and pencil to draw lines on the edges of the two boards, then use a hand saw and chisel to cut out the tenons.

After opening the tenons, Rock connected the two wooden boards at right angles and tapped them little by little with a hammer. The wooden boards slowly came together, and Rock felt very strong when he pulled on it.

So the rest of the wooden boards were treated in the same way. It took Rock, who was a first-time carpenter, a whole morning to complete a worm box.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. With this first successful experience, Rock's subsequent carpentry operations went much more smoothly, and he produced wooden boxes one after another.

In order to speed up the process, he had mastered a certain degree of proficiency and directly stacked three wooden boards together when tenoning.

The saplings he planted have all grown to the height of Rock's calves, and he has also successfully made more than sixty insect boxes.

The remaining planks were used to build a sledge to transport the worm boxes.

Although the worm bin is not heavy, it is still somewhat troublesome to transport.

He planned to introduce species from the Viridian Forest to the west, so he needed a vehicle that could transport a large number of wooden boxes at once.

The reason why he doesn't make cars is because he currently doesn't have the technology to make wheels and axles.

Rock selected a piece of wood with the most uniform thickness and sawed the round trunk in half from the middle.

With the round side facing down and the flat side facing up, place them side by side as the rails of the sledge, then fix several wooden beams horizontally on them, and finally use wooden boards to build a body on the top.

The truck body is two meters long and one meter six wide. It can accommodate twenty insect boxes on one floor, and there are erected wooden poles around it as fixed posts.

Rock stacked sixty worm boxes into three layers and placed them on the truck bed, then tied them tightly with ropes. Then he let Bayleaf drag it in front, and he and Abbot pushed it behind for a short distance to test it.

He found that the structure was very stable, but as the front end of the two slide rails shoveled more and more soil, it slowly accumulated and created a lot of resistance.

After holding his chin and thinking for a moment, Rock cut the front end of the slide rail into an upward-curved boat shape. He tested it again and found that it was much better.

After the sledge was finished, Rock set out early the next morning with the worm box.

Bayleaf put on the saddle bag, and the hook on the saddle bag was tied to the tow rope of the sledge.

The Arbor monster used his head behind the sledge to provide most of the power. Rock held the handle at the rear of the car with both hands to control the direction.

Encouraged by the honey, the sledge moved swiftly on the grass, and it took them only an hour to reach the forest to the west of the territory.

The reason why Rock wants to introduce the species in Viridian Forest is because the number of insect Pokémon here is the largest in the entire Kanto region.

With a huge population base, it is easy to find outstanding individuals.

There are excellent water sources and excellent nectar sources. He does not want to waste such good natural conditions, so he also wants to use excellent individuals as much as possible when selecting bee colonies.

The quality of the honey produced in this way must be very good, so Rock felt that it was worth the extra effort.

Leaving Bayleaf guarding the sledge at the edge of the forest, Rock carried a worm box into the forest with Arbor and Delubi.

Delubi, who has a keen sense of smell, is a good helper in finding wild elves, but in order to screen out outstanding unicorn bugs, Rock needs the help of Arbo monster.

After walking for a short distance, Darubi seemed to have discovered something.

It suddenly barked rapidly, turned its head to signal Rock and Arbor to follow, and then ran in one direction.

Thank you for your concern, there is a second update!
