Elven settlers

Chapter 247
The freshly felled pond cedar wood itself is very wet, so Rock didn't do any more processing, but just put the three boards adjacent to each other on the long side, and surrounded by three sides to form a hollow triangular prism.

Then he tied the three boards tightly with ropes soaked in water, and set the three-sided wooden post on a large stone.

Next, according to the normal steps, the combustibles should be evenly stuffed into the pillar, then ignited, and finally, half of the openings at both ends of the pillar should be blocked, and the carbonization should be completed.

But Rock has a good helper, who can complete the next work more conveniently and quickly.

"It's time for you to perform. Breathe fire from this opening. The flame should be condensed and go all the way to that opening. Pay attention to the uniform temperature and don't set the wooden board on fire."

After Rock explained the main points, Hei Lujia eagerly took on this very challenging task.

It walked to one end of the triangular wooden pillar, glanced at the gap, and took a deep breath.

"boom!"

An extremely condensed fire snake spewed out from Heluga's mouth in an instant, and the fire snake passed straight through the gap enclosed by the three boards, the scorching heat distorted the surrounding air.

"Fine, hold on."

Rock stood on the other side of the board, observing the degree of carbonization of the wood by the flame, and commanded Helujia to control the temperature and thickness of the flame from time to time.

A moment later, as Rock stretched out his thumb, Helujia stopped breathing fire.

Immediately afterwards, Chenglong, who had been preparing for a long time, spit out the water gun at the wooden board and began to rinse.

As soon as the water gun touched the wood, it made a "chi" sound and aroused a large amount of water vapor.

After rinsing, the temperature of the board also dropped.Rock untied the rope and found that the side surrounded by the planks had turned into pitch black.

I pulled out the short knife at my waist and tapped it a few times. The sound was a little crisp, but the strength of the whole board did not decrease, but it felt a little harder than before.

This performance proved that one side of the three planks had been carbonized, so Rock followed suit and enclosed the other side of the plank, and then continued to let Helujia spray fire to treat it.

Burning cedar boards is actually a time-consuming task, but with the help of Hei Lujia, Rock saved a lot of time.

In order to speed up, he also mobilized five Drubies to help, which can not only improve the efficiency but also train the Drubbies, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

In one morning, Rock and the elves finished processing all the fir boards, and baked enough bread for them to eat for a week.

Rock, who was very satisfied with his half-day workload, decided to reward himself during lunch.

He took out the slate that hadn't been used for a long time, and made a fried Lada on the slate that had been polished to perfection.

Cut the baked bread into two-finger-thick slices, smear a large needle of honey on it, and then put a large slice of fried and extremely tender Lada steak, finally fold the bread in half, wrap the honey and steak inside, Take a big bite.

Rock instantly felt that all the hard work in the wasteland life was worth it.

After eating a delicious ranch lunch and blowing the midday breeze with a touch of floral fragrance, Rock and the elves took a peaceful nap in the cool shade of the trees.

After waking up, he was full of energy and immediately started the follow-up work, making the trailer.

Rock bought a total of ten pairs of wheels from Sunshine Town this time, all of which are heavy-duty wheels that can be used on construction sites.

So in order to maximize the use of resources, Rock decided to make ten two-wheeled trailers.

It's not stable enough, but these trailers are mainly used inside the ranch, so it won't have much impact.

The size of the trailer is based on the fact that the geranium can be towed alone when it is fully loaded. It is set at two meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and one meter high.

After determining the size, Rock began to make.

The first thing he did was splicing the boards. First, he connected the two boards with wooden nails, and then nailed a long strip of wood in the direction perpendicular to the boards to strengthen the structure. In this way, a car board was completed.

Rock still uses his most skilled dovetail joints for the connection between the car boards, and the worm box has verified that this connection method is very firm.

Saw the mortise, thread the mortise, and then assemble the five car panels of different sizes tightly, thus completing the main body of the car.

Finally, fix the finished axles and wheels on the bottom of the car, nail the tow bar, and you have a strong enough trailer.

Rock's current carpentry skills have improved a lot compared to when he first started reclamation, so the panels of the trailer made are square and square, and the joints are also very tight, which looks relatively reliable.

He let the geranium load a cart full of stones and soil to try it out, and after confirming that the trailer could be used normally, he continued to work on the remaining nine trailers.

After one afternoon and three hours of rush work after dinner, Rock finally finished all ten two-wheeled trailers.

Now everything is ready, just waiting to start work.

"I hope tomorrow is a good day."

Rock lay on the bed, looked up at the clear night sky and the white crescent moon, and closed his eyes.

The sun rose and the moon set, and the next morning, as soon as Rock woke up, he raised his eyes to the sky.

Today's sky is extraordinarily beautiful. Under the reflection of the golden-red morning sun, colorful rays of light bloom from the sky, like skirts fluttering.

Seeing this beautiful scene, the elves opened their mouths wide in amazement, intoxicated by it.

Only Rock frowned unobtrusively.

Morning glow is the result of sunlight being scattered after passing through various molecules in the air, which means that the water molecule content in the sky not far away is very high, and it might rain today.

Originally, Rock was going to officially start the construction of the lake today, but if it rained, it would have an impact on his plan.

However, this kind of regional weather is completely uncontrollable except for some legendary beasts that can change it.

So Rock hid his worries about the weather in his heart, and started today's morning exercise with the elves as usual.

At least before it rains, the colorful clouds in the sky are still very beautiful.Since we can't change the weather, we might as well enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of us first.

Rock and the others finished their morning exercises under the brilliant morning glow and were about to have breakfast when suddenly the sky slowly dimmed.

"Sure enough, is it still going to rain?"

Rock has been sensitive to summer weather changes since the last time he experienced a storm and flood.

Now that the clouds were gathering little by little, he immediately realized that it was a sign of rain.

"Eat quickly, everyone, and hide in the oak forest after eating."

As soon as Rock's words fell, there was a dull thunder in the sky, as if a giant beast was snoring in the sky.
