forest kingdom

Chapter 286 Thanksgiving
That night, the forest barbarians, who were indifferent to life and death, held another banquet in the manor.

Eating meat, drinking wine, singing and dancing, diluting the sorrow of life and death with their warm and unrestrained laughter.

The next day Lawrence began to prepare for the move.

Sariel said: "I have been busy since spring, and now I have dug out an area as big as two houses in the cave."

Lawrence was busy with other things most of the time, and paid less attention to things in the cave.

"Well, do you think that cave is habitable now?"

Salil shook her head, "The stones and wood inside have not been cleaned yet. It will take a few days before they can be cleaned."

Delenn added: "I will prepare the bathing area in the past few days, so that I can take a bath when I get in."

Lawrence quickly said: "Wait a minute, let me figure out the rough sequence."

Salil was already worried.

"You haven't thought about it yet? You've been thinking about it since last winter, but you still haven't thought about it yet."

Lawrence is not as anxious as Salil, and some things should be taken slowly.

"I was thinking about the structure of the castle, not the house in the cave. I just remembered the plumbing problem today. We need to set up outlet sewers and water inlets."

"It's best to have a structure like a flush toilet, which relies on water pressure to flush everything from the sewer into the river outside."

Salil blinked and looked at Lawrence, silently saying nothing.

Lawrence explained to everyone with gestures with his hands.

"There are natural underground water springs outside the cave. We can make a rotating waterwheel to carry the water flowing out of the stone up the mountain, and then build up pressure in the reservoir on the mountain."

"The water will slowly press down, gradually pushing out the air and water in the entire pipeline. Of course, there will be some valves in the middle to control it."

Salil asked curiously: "How can the water in the stone have the power to turn the waterwheel?"

Lawrence took the spoon and put it in the water cup. "You can add a water pipe to the outlet of the spring water outside, so that the water will drip into the water tank of the water tanker. When the water in one tank is full, it will move downward. , and then the second sink continues to receive water.”

"Heavy objects fell one by one, and light ones rose, and then gradually the water from the first tank was sent to the tanks on the mountain."

Salil looked at Lawrence and asked, "How to send it?"

Lawrence was glad that Saryl would be curious about this instead of impatiently taking it all on himself.

Being interested, curious, and wanting to know are all good things.

If you want to try it, all the better.

"You can set the angle of the water tank. When it rises to a high place, it will be at an inclination angle, and the water inside will automatically fall into the water tank next to it."

Salil still didn't understand that the water in the previous water mill eventually returned to the water, but the water wheel to be made this time raised the water from the lower place to the higher place.

Sariel looked at Delen and Kharan, "Do you understand?"

Delen and Kharan both shook their heads, "I don't understand."

Sophia followed up and said, "I don't understand either."

Sariel said happily: "Yes, me too, what Lawrence said is not clear at all."

Lawrence said: "You will know after I make it. This is indeed difficult to understand. It is difficult to understand without the actual object."

From the setting of sewers to the distribution of water inlets and pipes, Lawrence had to consider many things, but the water truck was not in a hurry.Lathander found it very interesting. Seeing that others had no questions, she expressed her thoughts.

"Since you can bring water from the mountain to the mountain, is there any way to bring the water from the well to the ground?"

Lawrence immediately thought of pressurized water wells, "Yes, I'll make one or two. This will save the need for making water trucks, and it will be easier to get water."

Delen said: "Then I will expand the cave."

Luosanda smiled and said: "I can also help. If you move in earlier, construction here can start earlier."

Lawrence originally wanted Delen to help him build a pressure well, but seeing that Delen had something to do, he nodded and agreed.

There was no rush to pressurize the water well, so Lawrence wanted to leave the matter to his craftsmen.

Training these people's skills more can improve everyone's thinking and vision.

In the future, pressurized water wells will be built in most places. If these people can understand this technology early, they can pass it on to more people.

There is only one Delen, but the craftsmanship skills can be passed on to many people.

Lawrence said: "It is enough to expand the area of ​​the cave to [-] square meters. At present, it is mainly used for our daily cooking, rest, entertainment, and bathing. Others will be developed slowly in the future."

Salil quickly said: "So small? How can this be enough? It is already [-] square meters now, and the height is more than five meters!"

Lawrence didn't expect that the cave would expand to such a large area, "How did you do it? Hollowed out such a large area in the mountain?"

It has only been half a year since the early spring when there was still snow. The spring, summer and autumn here are very short. In fact, not long has passed.

Sariel explained: "That's it. Delen digs a hole first, and then everyone digs in different places. Lathander and Delen often help, and more and more people dig in, and then That's all."

Emma took the initiative to add: "Everyone knows that we are building a new house for you, the master, and we are all working hard in it. There is no difference between day and night in the cave. Sometimes we go in at night to dig some stones to build a house."

Lawrence only ordered a few people to take charge of this, but he didn't expect that more people would actually go to help.

This kind of thing surprised and touched Lawrence, "Well, I can't ignore the efforts of these people. Instead, they work for me. Even if they only help dig out a stone, they must be well rewarded."

"Those who dig holes and build stone houses for me will each be rewarded with ten eggs and ten pounds of meat for the winter!"

Emma smiled and said: "Yes, Master, your slaves and people will praise your kindness."

The joy in Lawrence's heart could not be calmed down.

There are not just one or two people under his command, but a large group of people, and no matter where they come from, this group of people all support his orders and take the initiative to build new houses for themselves, even if these things do not require them to sacrifice their own rest time to do it.

These come from awe and recognition from the bottom of my heart.

This group of people know how to be grateful and who has led them to live a good life.

Although this is a matter of course, Lawrence is used to living in a country of barbarians and has always been accustomed to the bandit mentality of barbarians. Today, he suddenly discovered that everyone has the spirit of gratitude and solidarity that only civilized people have. He was extremely excited.

These people know how to be grateful, and Lawrence should treat these people well.

"There is no need to build the castle now. The castle will take many years to build. We will build the city in the cave ourselves and let the carpenters repair their own homes first."

"Use your spare time to repair the roof and walls of your home, make some beds, tables and chairs for your children, or re-improve the camp. In short, it will make your life more comfortable in the winter!"

"I will provide the wood, and I will lend them the tools such as nails and hammers. After their houses are built, they will build the castle for me!"
