After living on a desert island, they all plotted evil against me.

However, the front part of the branch has been soaked in the lime solution. Although it will be "coated" when it comes back, it will definitely be bumpy in general.

So he didn't say anything more, but continued to lower his head and build the first layer of bricks.

Zhang Liu moved quickly. After the first layer of brick foundation was completed, the subsequent work was relatively simple.

Pick up a brick.

Apply a layer of quicklime paste and press it on top of the first layer of bricks.

The whole process is almost like an assembly line operation, and basically does not require much thinking.

The only things to watch out for are gaps and overlaps.

There is no need to consider other aspects at all.

However, after the third floor was completed, Zhang Liu also stopped pressing bricks.

He painted a thin layer of quicklime cement on the bricks, and then he picked up the grate that had been made next to the green pool more than 80 days in advance and stuck it on it.

Originally this thing was used to make clay pottery.

Later, with the relocation and the emergence of earthen kilns, the role of the grate was no longer available.

They had been piled in the corner of Bamboo House No. [-] until Zhang Liu took them out just now.

At the moment it is being used in the construction of iron furnaces and only needs a slight correction to the edges.

The holes in it were poked with your finger.

Each one is about the size of a pinky finger.

All the pyrite will be placed on this to be heated and then wait for melting.

"I hope the temperature of this iron-making furnace can reach above [-]."

Finish the grate and start laying the fourth layer of bricks at the same time.

Zhang Liu also whispered in his mouth.

About this question.

At present, he himself feels a little secretly confused.

After all, the normal burning temperature of charcoal is only about [-] to [-]...

"Thirteen hundred degrees?" Hearing Zhang Liu's muttered "begging", Song Shuyao blinked slightly and immediately figured it out.

This is the temperature at which ordinary iron ore melts.

"It should be okay." She reached out and picked up a brick and handed it to Zhang Liu. She said with a serious expression on her face: "As long as there is no problem with the seal, the charcoal inside will be in a combustion condition with limited oxygen. The temperatures will definitely be high.”

"Ok!"

Nodding, Zhang Liu reached out to catch the bricks Zhao Yiran handed him and pressed it on the iron-making furnace.

This is also the last piece of the base.

The next thing is to cover it with a layer of waterproof curtain cloth and wait for it to dry naturally.

He planned to burn charcoal inside to dry it out when it gets a little drier tomorrow.

Building this iron-making furnace itself is Zhang Liu's advance test plan. This thing does not need to be used as long as a toilet.

Just make sure he can make iron.

Chapter 4: That’s a lot of white flowers!

This morning Zhang Liu also went to the toilet to check the solidification of the plant ash cement.

The outer layer of grass-gray cement on the walls has not yet set.

But it has also become solidified.

He couldn't leave any mark when he pressed it with his fingers, but he could feel the "wet-dry cement" feel with his fingertips.

And if you scratch hard with your fingernail, it can pick up a little bit.

Follow the previous experience of testing two bricks.

Zhang Liu estimated that the toilet would be able to be used normally in five or six days.

But thinking about it, today the girls went to the taro fields to squat and dig holes to deal with this problem.

He was also a little embarrassed.

When Zhang Liu went to pee this morning, he suddenly felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

As a result, I turned around and saw the backs of Lan Yueting and Su Yan, one big and one small.

It was a large area of ​​white flowers.

..............................

When Zhang Liu was concentrating on smearing the outer layer of soil for the iron-making furnace as a final windproof measure.

Several of the girls around him have already walked to the junction of the corridors of Bamboo House No. [-] and Bamboo House No. [-] and started to light a fire to cook.

Anya, Lan Yueting, Su Yan, Gu Xixi, Xiang Wanying, and Qin Ruoyan were in Bamboo House No. [-] preparing what they would take down the mountain later.

The five people are currently wearing their own equipment for a "rehearsal" before departure.

Su Yan and Anya's jobs are mainly responsible for fighting.

So Su Yan prepared two wooden bows and two arrow baskets for herself.

Inside an arrow basket were six bamboo arrows with gold fragments.

Another arrow basket contained six bamboo arrows with bone arrowheads.

Every arrow is newly made, and the arrow feathers on it are straight and distinct.

The arrows are also polished to the sharpest possible state.

And Anya brought the "long-handled alloy knife" that she had obtained from Zhang Liu before.

So many days passed.

She also succeeded in completely polishing the alloy piece.

The handle of the knife was wrapped with rope and rabbit skin to achieve an anti-slip effect, and a separate strip of cloth was hung at the front to prepare for possible bloodletting later.

The sword is sharpened on one side.

Only the front section is edged on one side, and a saw-like cutout is made in the middle with a fire hammer. The rear end is not polished at all.

The advantage of this setting is that as long as the tip of the knife goes in, you can use your hand to hold the unedged area in front and apply force a second time.　　

Anya has already prepared in advance for the possible close combat with the wild boar.

If you go up the mountain this time and encounter a wild boar again.

Then she will let the other party have a taste of the power of modern knives!

There is also a double-layered book basket behind her.

On the lower floor are two pieces of curtain fabric for sleeping at night.

On the upper level are twelve earthenware bowls and six pairs of polished bamboo chopsticks.

These bowls and chopsticks are used for drinking and eating respectively.

As for Lan Yueting, Gu Xixi, Xiang Wanying, and Qin Ruoyan, they are just doing collection work.

Each of them carries a book basket behind their backs.

Gu Xixi and Qin Ruoyan each had two one-liter bamboo tubes in their book baskets.

It contains backup water just in case.

The book basket behind Lan Yueting contained a sheepskin bag filled with water and a thermos bottle with no water at all.

The sheepskin bag provides a source of water during the ascent, and the thermos bottle is provided at the top of the mountain and will be filled before going down the mountain tomorrow.

The stainless steel pot body can completely replace the alloy pot if damage is not considered.

Xiang Wanying was carrying Zhang Liu's three-tier book basket, with the small alloy pot on the top like a hat.

There are only some tools for starting fires on the middle and lower floors.

As for food, none of the six people planned to bring it.

They set out after lunch.

When you reach the top of the mountain in the evening, you can go directly to the taro field to collect food, and there are also freshwater fish to catch in the river.

But no one currently likes freshwater fish.

There are tilapia and carp in the mountaintop rivers and roadside rivers. The meat of these two fish is indeed relatively fresh and tender, but the earthy smell is also very unpleasant.

Unless it is a method of directly catching small fish and frying them.

Otherwise, the fishy smell of these fish is really hard to swallow.

Marine fish don’t know this at all.

Although they also have a fishy smell.

But not to the point of being nauseating.

And want to get rid of the smell of river fish.

Then you need to find the seasonings and spend a lot of time preparing and cooking.

First of all, there is no substitute for onion, ginger, and garlic. Pepper can only remove the smell, but not the smell.

And wasting time to make fish is a definite negative effect for everyone who is currently in urgent need of manpower to make bricks and open up forests.

There is taro, a portable and filling food.

Naturally, they selectively ignored troublesome things like river fish.

"After all these preparations, we shouldn't have left anything behind, right?"

Put down the three-tiered book basket behind you.

Xiang Wanying looked at everyone, and then she asked.

"No, all I have to do is eat before setting off."

Looking at the serious expression on Xiang Wanying's face.

Qin Ruoyan did not interact with each other much. Instead, she smiled and said to Anya and Lan Yueting: "You two bring the most things, so you need to eat more to fill your stomach."

"Hey, hey! I won't be polite to you!"

Regarding Qin Ruoyan's words.

Anya raised her head with a arrogant "He who can do the hard work" expression.

Lan Yueting, on the other hand, had a faint smile on her face.

She understood the joking meaning in Qin Ruoyan's words.

After confirming the preparations, Xiang Wanying and the other five people also walked out of Bamboo House No. [-] one after another.

At this moment, Zhou Fang and others in the middle of the corridor have already prepared lunch.

The little leopard showed off a monkey's leg early in the morning and then wandered down the mountain to play in the wild.

At present, Zhang Liu's iron-making furnace has been set up, and he is currently covering it with curtains removed from the toilet at the back as a rainproof measure.

As for the others, they were all present in the middle of the corridor.

Braised bracken, roasted taro, palm core, plantain core.

These four completely oily foods are the farewell meal for Anya's "sea salt and shell collecting team".

"Come on, Anya, eat more."

After finishing his work and washing his hands, Zhang Liu held up a taro dipped in sea salt and handed it to Anya and said, "We'll be leaving soon."

"Ah..."

She was holding her own bowl of bracken stewed in white water. When she saw Zhang Liu hand over the taro, Anya opened her mouth and took a bite of the taro without hesitation.

Then she was so satisfied that she started chewing.

Look at Anya's cute appearance.
