Special Forces Chapter 196 Burning Cement

The built furnace room is a little far away from their living group. After all, the furnace room is hot, dry and flammable, so it is really not a safe place.

Lu Kang first tried the firing of cement with a furnace. Due to limited conditions, Lu Kang could not find all the materials suitable for firing cement. He had to settle for the next best thing and find some similar substitutes to try. Lu Kang didn't know Can it be successful.

The first batch of cement fired was very different from what Lu Kang had imagined, which made Lu Kang very frustrated, thinking about which link had a problem.

Seeing Lu Kang's calm face coming out without saying a word, the others couldn't figure it out for a while. They didn't know whether the construction of the furnace room was not satisfactory, or something unexpected happened. In short, Lu Kang looked like this. , something bad must have happened.

Lu Kang didn't know what the others were thinking. The temperature in the furnace room was too high, and it was a very hot day. When he burned a batch of failed cement in it, the heat was already unbearable, so he came out to change it. gas.

He walked to the edge of the beach and took advantage of the sea breeze, only then did he feel that the smoldering fire in his heart dissipated a little.

After blowing off the heat from his body by the sea, he walked back again, intending to try to burn another batch of cement to see the situation.

Lu Kang walked over to the furnace room. Someone was already operating the furnace room. Lu Kang walked into the furnace room suspiciously. He had clearly told other people not to use the furnace for the time being except him. How could someone knowingly commit a crime inside?

Seeing the back in the furnace room, Lu Kang vaguely guessed who was inside. He asked in confusion, "Morus?"

Molus turned his head and glanced at Lu Kang, and after a low reply, he buried his head and continued with the movement of his hands.

"What are you doing?" Lu Kang asked.

"Same as you." Molus replied, "You go out first. You can come in after I finish."

Lu Kang was stunned for a moment, but soon he understood what Morus meant. Seeing that the sweat on Morus's face was almost pooling into small gullies, it was obvious that Morus had come in to continue his work as soon as he left the furnace room. The class that succeeded him tried to burn cement.

The heat in the furnace room is too high. If one person is to stay in it all the time and continuously fire the experimental cement, I am afraid that after burning three batches in a row, someone will have to collapse due to heat stroke. Maurus is planning to take turns to distribute the cement. batch try.

The batch of Molusi also failed, and the next one was Ida, who volunteered to try it, and Lu Kang handed over the materials to the other party.

It's a pity that Date's experiment did not have a finished product, but when Lu Kang inspected the test product, he found that Date's failed product was already very close to the form of cement he needed.

Lu Kang's eyes brightened slightly, and he suddenly understood.

"It's still temperature." Lu Kang called out in a low voice.

Morus and Ida looked at him suspiciously, "Temperature?"

"The furnace in the furnace room is always firing, and the temperature remains high and even getting hotter and hotter. On the contrary, this is close to the standard temperature for successful cement firing. Therefore, although the cement fired by Date failed, it was still very hot. It is of better quality than the failed products fired by Molus." Lu Kang explained, "Even the failed products fired by Date can be used as temporary repairs and repairs for defective cement in case of emergency."

Ida nodded half-understanding, blinked her eyes and asked, "That means the cement I burnt can actually be used, right?"

Lu Kang nodded slightly, "But it can't be used as a formal house building. The quality of such cement is too poor, and the house is easy to loosen."

Ida stuck out her tongue, "Okay."

"Let's continue." Lu Kang said. He felt that the next few batches of cement were likely to have finished products. He took the materials and decided to fire the next two batches of cement himself.

He entered the furnace room, and the temperature in the furnace room was much higher than when he first entered it. Lu Kang even felt that the air he was inhaling was slightly scalding.

He stayed in the furnace room for a long time this time, and when the cement was fired, Lu Kang came out of the furnace profusely in sweat, and the muscles exposed outside the animal skin were dripping with sweat.

A bright smile hung on Lu Kang's face, and he said to Molus, "Successful!"

When everyone heard what Lu Kang said, there was a burst of noise and they celebrated each other.

The successful firing of cement means that they can finally start to do more in-depth construction work.

"We need at least two furnace rooms." Lu Kang said, "One is for firing cement, and the other is for firing glass."

They have too many things to do. The temperature of a single furnace can be burned non-stop for a day. It may be so high that it is difficult for people to enter in the end. They must have two furnaces to use in turn.

"Build three." Morus said.Considering that cement has a wide range of uses and is a necessity for tribal construction, it is not a waste to build an additional furnace room to improve efficiency and increase production.

Lu Kang heard what Molus said, and nodded slightly in agreement.

So Ida and Mukro continued to build the furnace room. The materials for building the furnace room were large stones brought by Molus. The large stones were piled up one by one. This is really no choice. , the temperature of the furnace room is too high, and it is easy to dry and spontaneously combust if it is built with ordinary wood, while waterproof wood grows under the sea, so it is really difficult to get materials, and the current furnace room is the initial step of all their work. Without the cement fired in the furnace room, all the work could not be carried out on schedule. Lu Kang and the others did not have so much time to get waterproof wood, so they could only use rough stones to build a crude furnace room.

Fortunately, this furnace room is quite powerful. Although it was built roughly, there was no leakage of wind and rain. On the contrary, it succeeded in burning the materials needed by Lu Kang and the others.

Morus's divine power came into use again. These huge stones used to build the furnace room were by no means something ordinary hunters could easily half-lift.

After the furnace room was built, Lu Kang strictly examined and approved the candidates who could enter the furnace room to burn cement and glass materials. Hillu, who was not feeling well, and the Rudal brothers, who were not in good physical condition, and those who had just returned from insects The four Fake brothers who were freed from Gu's control were all excluded, and the other dozen or so hunters were arranged by Lu Kang, and each person was responsible for the firing time, which was rotated every day.

The requirements for firing cement are much more stringent than those for firing glass. It was almost as if they fired three batches of failed products in a high-temperature furnace before finally successfully firing the cement Lu Kang needed. Lu Kang realized that I am afraid that the furnace in this furnace room cannot be extinguished for the time being, otherwise, once it is extinguished, if you want to burn cement again, you have to start from the beginning again, and the time for burning three batches of cement can be successfully changed to the time required for successful cement burning. high temperature.

This made it extra necessary for someone to keep adding firewood overnight to make sure the stove didn't go out.

In the end, this manpower will be contracted by those who are not physically fit to be responsible for the firing work. To add firewood, no one needs to stay in the furnace room all the time, and only need to stuff some dry wood into it every once in a while. enough.

Lu Kang originally didn't intend to let Xieru participate, but he couldn't stand Xieru's begging. Xieru felt that he was like a huge burden now. He really couldn't stand everyone working, but he always Lie in the tree house and live an extremely leisure time.

Knowing that Xieru made a request to Lu Kang, Mukro acquiesced to Xieru's actions, knowing that Xieru would definitely not lie in his arms so obediently, lying in the tree house waiting for a new life to be born .It was just to add fire to the stove at night, which was an easy job, and Mukro agreed.

Xieru was slightly surprised by Mukro's easy-going words, and Mukro whispered in Xieru's ear, "Anyway, I will be with you on the night of your vigil."

Hillu froze for a moment, this was definitely not what he had hoped for at the beginning, he looked up at Mukro in a panic, "No...Mukro Palace! You don't need..."

He didn't want men to turn upside down day and night for him, this was not his original intention.

"Don't worry, Hillu. I insist." Mukro said with a smile while biting Hillu's lower lip lightly.

In addition to having people to make cement and glass, they had to dedicate their hands to hunting and keeping an eye out for newborn pups to see if there were any animal pups suitable for captivity in the tribe.

So all of a sudden, everyone in the entire tribe became extremely busy, and the tranquility of the hostile forces that had just repelled the invasion disappeared without a trace, and they seemed to be still being chased by something.

Lu Kang knew that it was time.

……

Summer is coming and autumn is coming, it's a good time of the year again.

Autumn is the harvest season. Even if the concept of farming has not yet appeared in this continent, the golden rice they scavenged earlier did not allow Lu Kang and the others to plant the seeds in time - after all, at that time they quickly got the Kances. People are coveting their news, and there is no time to plant golden rice seeds—but nature is the most diligent farmer, and there is no need for them to do anything, and those creatures in nature will continue the cycle of life.

Molus and Lu Kang have started to store food, and the houses have been successfully built one by one. Each house has three windows, and just as Lu Kang thought, each window can be accessed through a stick. Open and close.They also built two barns, one for food such as golden rice, and the other for dry wood, just near their settlement.

The warehouse for storing dry wood is especially important, and has extremely high requirements for the tightness of wind and rain.In winter, wood that can be burned for heating is the second most important item after food, and there must be no mistake.
