Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 131 No.80 Two Days, Guidance ([-])

Sure enough, the rain was still falling, but it was not too heavy. The weather should not stop in a short time. There was no wind in the morning, and the weather was a bit muggy.In this place, the temperature difference between day and night is quite large.

Fortunately, my current physique is not bad, and I may have started to adapt to this place, but I haven't been sick for a long time.Hope this state can continue.After drinking the glass of water in my hand, looking at the wet outside, I really can't lift my spirits.

Just now, I was surprised to find that Little Lightning could stand up. Although it was still a little wobbly, maybe after a while, I could see the little guy running around.But when I think about the lightning flashing across the room, my head hurts a little. I am most afraid that it will bite things randomly. If the bedding, food bags, etc. are all bitten, it will be troublesome.

The small pocket water tank I made yesterday has been baked overnight by the fire, and the outside is already dry, but the inside is still a little wet, and it should still be baking for a while.I have to make a few more things. After those things are finished, I can make the earthen kiln as soon as possible according to the method recorded in the notebook, and then I can try to burn some tiles. You don't have to worry about the aging of the coconut tree leaves on the roof.Don't worry about the problem of rain leakage.

When I came to the shed outside, although it was a little wet inside, it didn't have any effect. When I built the shed, I didn't add a wall.After all, an open shed is more suitable for operation.

Looking at the soil in the pit, it's not bad, but it's a little lumpy, but it's not dry. After jumping down and stepping on it a few times, it becomes sticky again.

The problem with the soil is no longer a big problem, but how to make the mud block into a curved surface, that is, how to make the wet mud into a curved mud embryo after drying, gave me some headaches.It wasn't until 10 minutes later that I thought of a way.

I dragged a small tree trunk over, cut it into a length of about one meter, then split it hard in the middle, and stuck a stone in the split gap.Hit the small stone hard with the back of the axe.As the stone slid down, the trunk slowly cracked, and finally it was completely divided into two halves.

The reason for this is that the tiles only need a little curvature. If the trunk is not split in half, the resulting tiles will be too curved to be usable at all. The finished mud embryo is directly covered, and it will become more practical after it dries and hardens.

It is very simple to make the tile embryo, just dig out a large piece of mud, pat it evenly, and use branches to flatten all four sides.The tile embryos are all rectangular. After I finished, I patted them for a while. According to the words in the notebook, I just patted them as much as possible to make the air inside come out.In this way, it will not crack easily when firing.

I have to say that the soil made from this termite nest is really fine, much finer than ordinary soil.To be honest, I still have some doubts in my heart whether these tile embryos can be fired into real tiles.In my imagination, the mud germ is very brittle after it dries. Will it really not shatter when it is burned by fire?But all this can only be known after the tile embryos are dry and fired.

It takes about 10 minutes for a piece of tile embryo, because it is the first time, I dare not do too much, for fear of waste.If you do too much and it all falls apart in the end, then your mood will inevitably become very low.And this time the soil was so small.There is one more critical object to craft.

This object is the key to firing tile clay kilns.An earthen kiln is a pit dug out of the ground, and this object is a cover to cover the pit, but it is not a cover, because holes need to be opened on it to make the fire more concentrated and the temperature of the fire in the furnace higher.Furthermore, there is this cover, so that the prepared embryos can be put on it.Embryos can't be put directly in the fire.

This cover is not so easy to make, I have to estimate the size of the earthen cave first, and then make this cover.The size of the cover was finally given after using the branches to measure the ground several times.

The diameter of this cover is about sixty centimeters, and the thickness is about three centimeters.This thickness is only the first guess, I am not sure.If it's too thick, I'm afraid it will crack before it burns.If it is too thin, I worry that the tile embryo will break when placed on it.It's really hard without experience.

A lot of soil was used for this cover, the edges were smoothed as much as possible, the middle was solidified, and then it was made more round.This seems not difficult, but the workload is much greater than the previous few tiles.

First of all, because of its weight, it is inconvenient to move, especially if it has not been dried, if you move it forcibly, you can only tear off a few pieces of mud quickly.The big cover can only be removed after it dries naturally.

It is still raining now, and we have to wait for them to dry after finishing, so the earthen kiln can also be dug first.Once the cover is dry, you can start working directly.

Of course, the kiln is dug directly in the shed, and the sharp part of the ax back of the fire ax is faster than using a knife to dig a hole, but the speed is only relative.If there is a sapper shovel or something, the speed of digging a hole is considered fast.But sadly, I didn't!Also can't imagine what material can be used to make the shovel.Stone?Wood chips?It doesn't seem to work!I don't have iron sheets or anything, so I can only think about it.

This pit needs a certain depth, at least about sixty centimeters deep.And two holes have to be dug.One of the pits is used as a kiln, and the adjacent one is for me to add firewood to it.

The two holes cannot be connected together, at least leave a distance of more than [-] centimeters. After the two holes are dug, connect the two holes from the bottom of the hole.There is a reason for this. If the two pits are connected together, the meaning of digging the pit will be gone.Only by following the current method can a closed stove be formed.Of course, I have to make a few grates, which have to be placed near the bottom of the stove.

Although the notebook did not write about the use of the fire bars, it should be to use the principle of air circulation to burn these branches and other materials more thoroughly, and also to make the burned ashes fall directly from the gaps between the fire bars. To the bottom, does not affect the combustion.

When I finished all these things, the rain stopped unexpectedly, but the weather was still not very good, it was probably temporary, and when I got up and stretched to get ready to rest, there was a rustling not far away There was a rustling sound, and I immediately drew my pistol vigilantly.

In the end, it turned out to be lightning... This little guy actually crawled out of the tree house...
