Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 342 Can’t Collapse

The snowstorm on the grassland completely swept over in the middle of the night.

The howling wind was like a ghost crying. The moment he heard the sound, Hilke's whole heart beat violently while he was sleeping, and he was completely awakened.

As a race that lives on the grassland all year round, although such movement is not common, every time it occurs, it will bring huge losses to them and leave an extremely deep impression!
At this moment, the door to Silk's ward was pushed open, and a medical staff leaned half in from the door.

Silk subconsciously prepared to stand up.

The medical staff frowned when they saw this.

"Lie down and do what you want to do when you get up?"

They were really annoyed by Silk, who would increase their workload every now and then.

Hearing this, Hilke was stunned.

"Shouldn't there be a transfer?"

"Transfer what?"

"The snowstorm should be blowing outside..."

After hearing this, the medical staff roughly understood what Silk meant.

"Don't worry, this house won't collapse. Just lie down here peacefully and sleep well if you have nothing to do. I'm just here to confirm the situation."

As the medical staff spoke, they checked the heater and temperature in the room. After confirming that there were no problems, they closed the door and left.

Only a slightly messy Hilke was left sitting on the edge of the bed, listening to the 'whining' sounds that kept coming into his ears, wondering whether he could sleep or not.

In other words, it is no longer a question of whether he wants to sleep, but whether he can sleep.

Under the blizzard, Hilke was also afraid that the house would collapse and bury him alive underneath.

If he was awake, he might still have time to react. If he fell asleep and the house collapsed, would he be able to escape?
Maintaining this state, half the night passed quietly.

After that, Silke barely slept a wink. The next morning, when the medical staff came to check the ward, they looked at his bloodshot eyes with a startled expression.

"Hey! Didn't you sleep last night?"

There is a bit of schadenfreude in these words.

Silk had caused them so much trouble, and he was quite happy to see the other party suffer a little without increasing their workload.

Seeing the medical staff come in, Hilke, who hadn't slept all night, was in a daze. He couldn't hear the gloating in his words. He just wanted to ask...

"You said last night that this house couldn't collapse. Why can't it collapse?"

As of now, if he doesn't understand this issue, it will be difficult for him to sleep peacefully.

Faced with his question, the medical staff couldn't help but roll their eyes.

"I'm not on the construction team, so I don't know why this house won't collapse. If it doesn't collapse, it just won't collapse!"

What the medical staff said was not a lie. He really didn't understand this.

In fact, the answer is that last year, considering construction efficiency and labor issues, they only used the mortise and tenon structure to make the frame of the house, and the rest was simply fixed on.

But after experiencing accidents in which roofs were blown off or even collapsed in winter snowstorms, according to their leader's wishes, the entire structure of the important buildings in Prairie Village, from frame to roof, was all connected using a mortise and tenon structure. .

With the mortise and tenon structure linking the entire house structure together, it would be really not that easy to collapse it unless a snowstorm tore down their entire house.

The cost of doing this is that it takes a lot of time and energy. In order to complete the work as soon as possible, they even went to the equipment department to borrow some people to help them polish the mortise and tenon structure.

As for why not all the houses in the village were fully upgraded?The reason is simple, time and conditions do not allow it.

If he does this, will Huangshan Village still move?Should Tieshan Village be built again?

The Construction Engineering Department can be said to be one of the busiest departments under Zhou Xu right now, and their tasks must be properly arranged.

Put the breakfast on the table aside.

"I'll collect the plates later."

After saying that, the medical staff turned around and left again.

The medical department is currently understaffed. Medical staff like him have to take care of several injured patients at the same time and have no time to stay with one patient.

The smell of food made Hilke put the problem aside for the time being.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of food, Prairie Village could be said to have completely exceeded his expectations.

Looking at this era, the daily meals of their prairie elves are definitely not bad, but their cooking methods are still very monotonous.

Anyway, apart from roasting, it is boiled, and there is no seasoning.

The mutton is delicious, but there is no seasoning. After eating it for a while, I will get tired of it.

But Zhou Xu and others are different. Not only do they have seasonings, their cooking techniques are also richer.

Their kitchen basically masters all the cooking techniques such as steaming, frying, steaming and stir-frying. Even if it is the same ingredients, you can taste it differently if you change the method every day.

Delicious food can relieve your mood and even adjust your mood.

During the meal, Hilke's mental state significantly relaxed.

After breakfast, doctors from the medical department will come over to check his injuries. If there is no problem, the medical staff will give him medicine.

After taking the medicine in the morning and before taking the medicine in the evening, the only thing he had to do as a wounded patient was to lie down and rest.

It happened that he didn't sleep well last night. He closed his eyes and slept until dark.

He wasn't woken until the paramedics came to tell him to have dinner.

At night, after too much sleep during the day, Hilke began to think about the house again.

When he first came to Prairie Village and when he left before, Hilke actually looked at the village.

Although the population does not seem to be as large as their village, the scale is larger than their village. The buildings in the village look like the architectural styles that appeared before the destruction of the last civilization.

But Silke never thought too much until he experienced it personally...

From midnight last night to now, the 'whooshing' sound caused by the strong wind blowing outside the house has almost never stopped. He can even feel that the house has been shaking slightly, and it makes a 'squeaking' sound. sound.

Other than that, there is no impact at all.

The wind was blowing and the house was shaking, but it didn't collapse.

In terms of the level of construction and some manufacturing techniques alone, Hilke had to admit that the 'Great Zhou' headed by Zhou Xu was completely ahead of them.

Even now thinking about what Ye Jinghong said to him casually before, Silk couldn't help but make a bold guess in his heart.

"Could it be said that there are two villages in this 'Great Zhou'?"
