Traveling through the world of beasts: I light up my survival skills in the wild

Chapter 95 "Homemade Cement"

Thinking of this, Su Ran's interest in blue worms immediately grew.

It wasn't her imagination that glue built houses.

Su Ran remembered reading about it in a book. It seemed that there was an ancient village where shells were used to build houses.

But she can't remember the details, but she just remembers that the ancestors in those places used shells instead of bricks, and then extracted some sticky substances from some marine organisms, glued these shells together, and built houses.

In addition, in ancient buildings in some places, sticky glutinous rice or glutinous rice cakes are mixed into the material that binds bricks and stones.

Then it is mixed into the building materials to make the built house stronger.

Regardless of the method, the things mixed in are for the purpose of bonding.

Su Ran tried it. After the blue worm's internal organs turned into jelly, the stickiness was indeed very strong.

She glued the two stones together with blue worm glue, and when it was dry, even the ashes could not be separated with all their strength.

In fact, if you just want to stick the stones together, you can just use the glue made from the internal organs of blue worms.

But after Su Ran finished building the house, she still wanted to put another layer of "replacement cement" on the stone bricks outside, in order to keep the house warmer, stronger, and look better.

So she decided to make flat cement anyway.

And the blue worm that appeared at this time gave Su Ran, who wanted to make a flat version of cement, another material that could be used.

The flat cement that Su Ran wanted to make was actually two kinds of materials at the beginning, lime and clay.

Lime can be made from shells. For clay, there is a large area near the gravel beach in the upper reaches of the river beach.

Now Su Ran has collected enough shells.

Among these shells, it was not only she and Hui who carried them back on their backs.

Including other orcs, after discovering that Su Ran was collecting shells, they also sent shells to Su Ran.

Of course, Su Ran felt that the bigger reason might be that Hui told the orcs that he was collecting shells.

So the orcs would save up their leftover shells every now and then, and send them to Su Ran.

However, it wasn't for free. Su Ran received the shells from the orcs, so she naturally wanted to exchange some things back for the orcs.

However, what the orcs exchanged with Su Ran was not limited to food.

They became interested in Su Ran's weaving.

Like the bottles and jars made by Su Ran, the orcs can dig them out with bare hands.

Only those weaving things are as difficult as heaven for the orcs!
So Su Ran's back basket, dustpan, and wooden basket became bestsellers.

After a long time, Su Ran felt that the practice of bartering among the orcs became more and more proficient.

Although when she first came here, the orcs had always had some living habits of bartering.

But Su Ran felt that the exchange between the orcs at that time was more of a sharing.

But now it gradually has the meaning of exchange, buying and selling.

Su Ran once saw an orc and Xiaoju exchange a few fish for a red-skinned pig's hide in the bird's nest.

At that time, she thought that maybe the orc hadn't learned how to make animal skins, or was too lazy to do it, so she went to exchange it with someone else.

Now that I think about it, isn't this an obvious deal?

.

The shells collected by Su Ran still need to be burned, crushed and dissolved before they can be turned into lime.

This was her last big project when she was preparing building materials.

And now there is another one to skin the blue worm.

After debating, Su Ran first chose to skin the blue worm to get the internal organs, and then burn the shells after getting enough internal organs of the blue worm.

Because she didn't know how long the active season of these blue worms was. If it was only a few days, after she finished the shells, the blue worms disappeared.

Then she can't wait another year!

The number of blue worms Su Ran collected did not need to be as many as shells.

The viscera of blue worms is strong enough. She estimated that three to one quarter of the shells would be enough to build this house.

While collecting the internal organs of blue worms, Su Ran also tried to make "replacement cement" once while cooking with a fire.

The innards of blue worms can be baked directly into jelly, while the shells need to be thrown into the fire to be burned first.

After burning for about two hours, Su Ran pulled out the blackened shells and smashed them with stones.

After the hot shells cooled, she put the shell fragments into a large wooden basin, and then poured a small amount of river water into the wooden basin.

When the river water touched the shell fragments, a large amount of white steam immediately "sizzled" in the wooden basin.

Huizai wanted to foolishly look closer to the tub, but was pulled away by Su Ran.

Just kidding, the heat can burn people if you are not careful!

Because Su Ran smashed the shells into pieces, the shells quickly dissolved into a paste.

At this time, Su Ran poured in the clay, and the blue worm viscera glue that was about one-third of the shell was crushed.

After mixing and stirring, Su Ran took a few small stones and put them on the ground, and used this kind of homemade cement that was just made to build a few stones together.

After waiting for more than half an hour, she looked at the stones again, and they were tightly glued together.

After Su Ran saw it, she felt a big sigh of relief.

No matter how much you imagined before, it is just an imagination.

Now that she really saw the actual effect, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was still very afraid that the homemade cement would not work.

Now that she has the bottom line, Su Ran has even more motivation to collect blue worms.

For five full days, Hui took Ajin and Qingyu to the beach to claw the blue worms and bring them back.

Su Ran and Little Orange Yaoyao dug out all the internal organs of the captured blue worms on the river beach.

Su Ran dug a big hole next to the foundation of the house she had drawn, and then threw the excavated blue worm viscera directly into the hole to let the sun melt.

The body of the blue worm whose internal organs had been dug out was cleaned by Su Ran and dried in the sun.

Unlike jellyfish, which will melt into water after a long time, blue worms, which are very similar to jellyfish in terms of eating method and taste, will only melt in their internal organs after being exposed to the sun for a long time after death, while their bodies will be very dry. It can be dried quickly.

Even the half-meter-long blue worms would shrink to dryness in just a few hours.

Su Ran tasted this dried blue worm empty-handed.

It has a light salty taste, a little aftertaste, and the taste is a bit like brown sugar, which is quite interesting to eat.

And it's not just her, Hui also likes to eat.

There were nearly ten catties of dried blue worms in a large dustpan, but this wolf actually ate them all in just four or five days.

But it's like this, Su Ran doesn't worry that the collected blue worm meat will be too much, and it will be wasted if it can't be eaten!
