"It's done, let's get started, everyone, and try to get all the bricks and stones out before dark."

While others continued to produce bricks with molds, Domi also continued to send three strong men to transport limestone back and forth.

Edward rested for a while before continuing to burn the limestone over a fierce fire.

If he hadn't eaten the sulfur fire fruit at the auction, I'm afraid the temperature wouldn't have reached this high, but maintaining such a high temperature would have exhausted him to death.

At the same time, the finished bricks must be quickly cooled and hardened by Rosa's hands to form truly usable bricks.

The work continued until evening, and the bricks were piled into a hill in the cleared space.

"Is this... enough?" Edward was already exhausted. If he was allowed to do this for another day, he would just jump into the sea.

But Duomi shook his head ruthlessly: "This is not enough. I want to make a house that can accommodate the six of us. It will take at least two more days!"

poof...

Edward fell down immediately after hearing this.

Ai Wei, a part-time doctor, felt her pulse, raised her head and said, "Don't worry, I'm not dead yet, I'm just tired."

Chapter 102 101 Valkyrie

Night fell, and luckily, it was a clear night, cloudless, and the stars were shining brightly on the curtain called the sky.

Everyone else fell asleep on the floor, but Domi and Sia were still awake and alert.

Originally, Domi had to stay on duty alone for the middle of the night, but Shia was afraid that he would be too lonely, so she stayed with him for the rest of the night.

The two of them were sitting on a log between two coconut trees.

"What are you looking at?"

"Valkyrie."

"I remember this star, hey, is it that one?"

Shia pointed to the brightest star in the sky, which was shining with rose-red light spots.

"You actually know? I thought not many people would study the stars." Duomi was slightly surprised by this.

Sia tucked a few strands of her long hair that were blown in front of her by the wind behind her ears, and her eyes looking at the Valkyrie star were shining like the night tonight, reflecting the stars in the sky:

"Because, whenever I come back to my room after a busy day, my only pastime is to lie on the balcony railing and watch the stars."

"And don't you think the light of Valkyrie is similar to my hair color?"

"really……"

"So I like this star the most. Because of it, I have come into contact with more stars."

Duomi carefully looked at Sia beside him with his peripheral vision. She seemed to be caught up in memories full of joy and suffering, so she quickly changed the topic and said:

"What's the other pastime?"

Sia turned to look at him with a smile on her lips: "I thought you knew."

"Besides watching the stars, the only pastime is to listen to the news about you from the spies. Of course, this only became popular in recent years. When I was younger, I still only enjoyed watching the stars."

Domi felt that Sia's childhood must have been difficult, and if she was like him and Edward, she would definitely not show such an expression.

"Stop talking about me, you haven't told me why you want to watch Valkyrie!"

Both of them are making their own efforts to create a chat atmosphere between each other.

"According to the classics, the Valkyrie in the northern hemisphere is basically fixed. We can use this as a basis to calculate our current coordinates."

Hearing this, Sia opened her mouth slightly in surprise: "Is there anything else you know that I don't know about?"

Duomi smiled proudly: "That's too much, it's worth your lifetime to explore."

"lifetime……"

There seemed to be no other meaning in his words, he just explained himself:

"You see... Valkyrie is where the earth's axis points, which is [-] degrees perpendicular to the equatorial plane, so the height of the horizon is the local latitude. Valkyrie can also be understood as the 'North Star', so the latitude of the North Pole is [-] degrees , the star is far away and can be regarded as infinitely far away. Therefore, when looking at Valkyrie at other latitudes, the line of sight when looking at Valkyrie from the North Pole is the same line. In other words, a beam of light from Valkyrie reaches the North Pole and reaches other latitudes. The human eye can see it as parallel light..."

He drew a sketch in the sand.

"Angle α and angle 3 are equal to each other, angle 3 and angle 2 are supplementary to each other, angle 2 and angle 1 are supplementary to each other, so angle 3 = angle 1 = angle α, angle 1 is the local latitude of point A, so we get that female The conclusion is that the horizon latitude of Valkyrie is the local latitude..."

"In summary, as long as we know the current horizon latitude of Valkyrie, we can get our current latitude."

"Ha~~~"

Shia yawned widely.

"Then...what can we do if we have latitude?"

"With only latitude and no longitude, we cannot know our exact location. But if I have the opportunity to come to this mysterious sea again in the future, and I know the latitude, I will definitely be able to come back here again as long as I have time."

"If you see the shelter we built together again, you will definitely be filled with emotion. After all, it is a truly habitable house built by a bunch of pampered children from aristocratic families. It is the result of our wisdom, hard work, and brave resistance. Destiny, a symbol of never giving up.

I thought...it would be as meaningful as a time capsule. "

Perhaps when he said these words, even Duomi himself didn't realize how much romance there was in them. He only knew that Sia had been looking at him with his peripheral vision for a long, long time, until his eyelids were fighting up and down, and finally his head was weak. slumped on his shoulders.

Ah!

He was startled.

"Sia...Sia?"

There was no response, just slow and regular breathing.

He knew that pretending to be asleep would not be like this, as he knew a lot about breathing, so Sia was really asleep.

"Let me know in advance if you want to sleep..."

Duomi sighed helplessly, stood up carefully, picked up the princess by her waist, and placed her beside Rosa. He also helped her put the hair on her face to prevent her from sneezing when she fell asleep. Wake yourself up.

"Have a good dream."

Have peace tonight.

Early the next morning, before the sun had fully risen, Duomi was already ready to welcome the first ray of sunshine.

Self-discipline depends on individuals, and strong people never complain about the environment.

Others also knew that Duomi had this habit, so they did not disturb him after waking up and went to pick coconuts for breakfast in groups.

After breakfast, you have to continue working.

But this time someone had to start laying bricks, and Domi gave this skill to Shia and Ai Wei, who had no other use for it.

He had to transport the limestone, Edward had to make the stove, Argyle had to make the bricks, and Rosa had to speed up the cooling and solidification. After much thought, they were the most suitable.

They were all born into noble families, so they should have some aesthetic understanding of architecture.

Domi doesn’t want any castle, just a matchbox.

Moreover, the relationship between the two is not harmonious. Since the relationship is not harmonious, they need to have more contact. It is also a good thing to become more familiar with each other during work.

As a result, the division of labor among the six people was clearly defined and the efficiency was extremely high. The prototype of the masonry shelter had already appeared, with four walls and even a hole for the door.

The next day was still sunny and there was no wind or rain all day.

On the third day, although it was cloudy, Duomi asked everyone to speed up and quickly lay the wood on the roof.

Looking at the day, it is estimated that a heavier and longer rainstorm than before is coming.

As for the door, since they did not have a mechanical structure like hinges, it was too late to build it with wood, so after hiding in the house, Argyle raised a pile of dirt to block the door.

Just say it's closed or not.

A circular groove was left in the middle of the room for setting up a bonfire, and the dried branches and remaining coconuts were piled in the corner.

The careful Shia and Ai Wei even built an extra bathroom, dug a pit, and stuffed the earth box made by Argyle into a storage place for excrement, which could also be replaced.

The bathroom has a separate vent, which prevents smells from wafting into the main room, which is very convenient!

You just have to go out and turn right, and the problem of paper towels also needs to be solved...

But this is a matter for the future, let’s leave it to the future.

"Boom rumble!!"

At this time, there was thunder outside.

Different from the distant thunder, this thunder seemed to hit them on the head. The sound was so loud that it could make people's ears ring. They were afraid that they had done something wrong and God was going to kill them.

Purple lightning tore through the sky.

Tornadoes rose again on the sea level, surrounding this cursed island. No ship could come in in such weather, and no one could get out from here.

Isolated from the world.

Perhaps only the blazing and warm flame in front of them can give them comfort.

Domi looked at his companions who were frowning and scared, knowing full well what would happen in the future.

Once a person with some power in society falls into such a fate, he may go crazy because of it, not to mention a small group of people who are already at the top. The gap in status and experience is enough to destroy a young child. heart.

The main reason why Rosa Edwards and the others didn't cry like children in movies and TV shows was because of their own existence.

He gave everyone hope to live, and the construction of masonry huts gave them temporary sustenance, but this could not eliminate the abyss-like gap.

In fact, even he was the same. He was enjoying himself in the castle two days ago, but today... look at himself, his dress is in tatters due to work, his shoes are covered with dirt and dust, and his face is covered in dirt because he didn't eat much. Lost weight.

If this continues, everyone's spirit will collapse sooner or later.

He has to find a way...

"Boom!"

The sound of thunder was like a punishment from heaven, stimulating their already fragile hearts over and over again.

"Tomorrow...let's go improve the food tomorrow." Duomi suggested: "It's best not to go deep into the forest. There are unknown monsters inside. We can dive into the sea not far away to catch some fish."

"We can also make a distillation device so we can drink pure water."

Domi throws out one hope after another, trying to make them rekindle even a glimmer of hope for life and forget a little about their past life, but in the end it is all in vain.

Everyone just nodded silently, and the atmosphere in the small house was extremely depressing.
