Steampunk City [Infrastructure]

The leather shoes that Luo Zhi mentioned are shoes with leather uppers, not the kind of leather shoes with a suit and tie. After all, you have to wear shoes to hunt, which is not suitable, just like wearing leather shoes can not play basketball. No matter how beautiful the shoes are, the first thing is is still suitable.

In terms of style, some sports shoes are very suitable, such as basketball shoes, which are originally designed for strenuous exercise and have good wrapping properties.

Luo Zhan thought of making leather shoes because they had too many dinosaur skins.

Dinosaur skin is thick and thick, and it is not suitable for making leather skirts.

So a lot of dinosaur skins are wasted, it would be a pity to store them up, and throw them away.

It is also imminent.

Of course, making dinosaur skin into sports shoes is not just about making an appearance. Its essence is animal skin. Although it is rough and thick, there is still oil inside.

If you don't deal with it, you can imagine that the skin wearing it may have various problems, and the shelf life of the shoes may not be long, and they are prone to smell and rot.

This involves a traditional craft, leathermaking, or leather crafting.

Luo Zhi first went to find out how to make animal skin into leather.

There are quite a lot of detailed information that can be found on the computer.

The steps are also very perfect, and each step is very clear.

First, soak in water.

Soak the hides that have been thoroughly de-fleshed with blunt instruments in clean water for 1 to 2 days.

The second step, degreasing.

Wash with sulfur powder and warm water for one to two hours, then rinse with water for 10 minutes.

The third step is similar to the second step, but the time is much longer.

Mix the weak sulfuric acid solution and the rice washing water solution, put the washed animal hide into it, press it with a heavy object, and soak it for 1 to 2 weeks.

Almost like dyeing cloth.

It's just that the function of this process is to change the tissue of the animal skin and make it soft and usable.

This step is very important. It can be said that the animal skin can be completely turned into a usable leather. It can not only degrease, but also sterilize.

Sulfur powder shouldn't be hard to get. They're close to the volcano, and the wind next to the volcano even has a pungent sulfur smell.

The fourth step is to cool and arrange.

Take out the hide that has been soaked for a week or two, cut off the thick and hard skin on the edge with scissors, and rub the hide until soft.

Then add salt to clean water to wash off the sulfur smell and rice noodles on the hide.

Then let it dry naturally in the sun, avoid exposure to the sun, it is easy to harden the cortex, and after drying, a piece of usable leather will be produced.

Of course, dinosaur leather is too thick and hard, so the softness of the leather processed in this way is still limited, but it is most suitable for making leather surface of sports shoes.

Luo Zhan recorded all the information he found, and then started to act.

Because the above are all theories, Luo Zhan went to the warehouse managed by Shutao to move a lot of animal skins, and he had to experiment slowly.

Because of Luo Zhan's previous performance, his strange behavior attracted the attention of various races.

There are really many wise men and heroes of the earth running over to see the surprise.

It's a pity that I didn't understand.

In their eyes, it means soaking animal skins in water.

Will it rot? Especially after seeing Luo Zhan pressing the animal skins into several large vats, his face became weird. These vats must emit an unimaginable stench, right?

Even the salmon frowned, "What delicious food are we doing?"

Although the food made by their little patriarch in the past was so delicious that he could swallow his tongue, but why does he dare not eat it now that he looks at it.

Luo Zhan pressed on the forehead of the salmon, this little glutton can think of everything about food.

Although these people don't understand, they still come to see Luo Zhan's progress every day. There is no way, how many miracles did Luo Zhan create in this city of glory? They don't understand what they did before, right? Weeds can produce unimaginably delicious berries.

Luo Zhan was not idle either.

Because in addition to the leather upper, sports shoes have to have a slightly harder sole.

This is more troublesome, because almost all the soles that Luo Zhan can find are made of a material called rubber.

He couldn't get it out of it.

But not without substitutes.

A large part of dinosaurs have dinosaur hooves, which are similar to horseshoes.

Luo Zhan checked again, and found a kind of sole called "horseshoe sole". It was really made of treated horseshoe, and the price was even more expensive than rubber.

Because the sole is processed with horseshoe, it is wear-resistant, waterproof and comfortable to wear.

The processing method is also similar to the leather-making method. It is estimated that the tissue is changed under the action of sulfur powder and becomes soft. Of course, the main soaking liquid this time is not sulfuric acid powder, but vinegar, rice vinegar is fine, food fermentation come.

Soaking time is longer.

When Luo Yan went to Shutao to ask for a dinosaur hoof, Shutao was stunned. Who would keep that stuff?

However, the hunting team in the City of Glory will bring back a lot of prey they hunted every day, so just let them not throw away these useless dinosaur hooves.

Luo Zhan was working in full swing, and he drew many sheets of paper just for the sneakers.

In the end, two of the most classic styles were selected.

The first is a sneaker with a full leather upper, which looks very durable.

Because these leathers are all original colors and have not been dyed, if a single color leather is used to make the upper, the color will look too plain.

But it doesn't matter, there are many types of dinosaurs, and the colors of the leather are various, such as red-skinned dinosaurs, green-skinned dinosaurs, and even white-skinned dinosaurs.

At that time, the large-area upper can be made of a whole piece of complete leather, which can ensure firmness and waterproofness. On this basis, some small parts are made of dinosaur skins of other colors, so that the shoes look unique. A style, the color were abundant, too.

The second model, Luo Ji is going to make grid sneakers, the material of the grid needs to use the woolen monsters of the blood ancient tribe, and some manual skills are needed at the same time.

While waiting for the materials to be produced, Luo Zhan led people to inspect the farmland in the city every day. This year's rice planting is the real big event.

It is worth mentioning that this year Luo Zhan also plans to plant beet seeds. The particles of beet seeds are very small, and the seeds in his place may be able to plant a lot of land.

So a lot of land has to be reclaimed.

Now City of Glory is enthusiastic about Luo Zhan's desire to reclaim new land, even Luo Zhan can't imagine, and they don't look at what Luo Zhan's previous farmland has brought to their City of Glory.

So when they heard that they were going to reclaim new land, everyone was extremely excited.

The reclamation of new land is just outside the green belt, that is, outside the circle where strawberries, fruit trees and seasonings were originally planted.

A walkway was left between the two circles.

In the past, whether it was people, beasts or cars, they all walked on concrete roads. In fact, there were still many problems.

Luo Zhan just took advantage of this time to reclaim the land and create a road for pedestrians and beasts to walk, so that people, vehicles and beasts can be separated.

Compared with the water city outside, this is a small construction that makes the Glory City more refined.

"When our road is repaired, we will walk on the road in the future, and there will be green green belts on both sides, which will be even more beautiful."

"If the road on which cars drive is the First Ring Road, the road we are building now is the Second Ring Road."

Simple and straightforward introduction.

The people around them feel that their current concrete road is very beautiful and convenient to use. They can go to the road as soon as they leave their homes in the small town. Walking on such a smooth and clean road, the soles of their feet are happy.

But sometimes there is a problem, especially when they ride their monsters on the road, if there is a water truck passing by, because the sprinkler does not use mana feedback, their monsters will not be like other monsters. Dodging like a beast, but leaning forward curiously.

So what Luo Zhan said, it seems very reasonable to separate people, vehicles and beasts.

Besides, with such a beautiful road, they wouldn't mind having an extra one.

So the news of building the Second Ring Road while reclaiming the land quickly spread throughout the City of Glory.

The traffic in Glory City will also become more convenient.

With the progress of the project, Luo Zhan has almost prepared the materials for making shoes.

Because there are no production machines and no glue, the uppers are all hand-sewn.

In fact, before mechanization, shoes were made in this way.

Luo Zhan took a bronze needle and inserted the thread into the sole of the shoe bit by bit.

It has to be said that the thread of the companion beast from the ancient turbid blood clan is indeed strong. After all, it is a beast, and its hair is quite different from that of ordinary beasts.

It is estimated that the curse of the Xietong ancient clan can be used to cut the thread, and it is not a problem to use it to hold the sole of the shoe.

The stitches are denser, and the leather is rolled inward, which can also play a good waterproof role. The ancients have done a lot of research on the waterproofing process.

It's a bit laborious, and it's quite a laborious process to make a pair, mainly because Luo Zhan wants to make them more refined and look better.

He was meant to do it in the most classic sports style.

The final product is a total of three pairs.

The two pairs are black and white, the small decorations are slightly red, and the shoelaces are made of the wool of the adult beasts of the bloody ancient tribe. The color of the shoelaces can be matched casually. If it is refreshing, you can continue to use black and white. If you want to show off a bit, you can match red shoelaces and green shoelaces, and if you want to show off a bit, the left and right shoes can be of different colors.

The second pair is white sneakers with mesh. Because white dinosaurs are rare, this material is not much.

When Luo Zhan's three pairs of shoes were brought out, it was useless for everyone to understand.

No way, I didn't have the habit of wearing shoes at all before, and I didn't even have the concept of shoes.

"what is this?"

"Ah, this is what you have been working on for so long, why don't you understand?"

Luo Zhan smiled, his two pairs of shoes felt not much different from those pictures on the Internet, they were out-and-out sports basketball shoes.

The people in the tribe are relatively tall, and wearing basketball shoes will definitely transform into men in seconds.

Luo Zhan said, "Every time you go hunting and every time you come home, what is the most confusing thing?"

Everyone couldn't help being taken aback, why did they suddenly change the subject?

Moreover, going out to hunt and returning home are two completely different situations, and the things that are confusing should be different.

Luo Zhan didn't wait for them to answer, but said, "I often hear people from hunting teams say that when they go hunting, sometimes they don't find the prey, and instead wear out their feet. Those weeds like blades often cut His feet were bleeding."

Everyone: "..."

This is true, but they are used to it. Although they are bored, there is no one who goes out hunting without cutting their feet. up.

Luo Zhan continued, "I often hear that every time you go home, you are afraid that you will bring a foot of dust into the house and make the house dirty."

This is true, how beautiful their home is now, no one is willing to get even a little dirty on the clean floor, the trouble is that after going out, the feet are covered with mud, this is also one of the things they are most troubled with recently, although this trouble they used to It was never possible to imagine.
