Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 59 Still not enough
"Success!"

Nobi Daqiong shouted, his face filled with excitement. Finally, he had finally figured it out. Over a month! It had taken him over a whole month!

"Holy crap! You're amazing!"

[Nobi Daqiong]'s cheers and ghostly howls attracted everyone's attention, and [Tengu is not a dog] rushed over to eat melons.

The main reason is that [Nobi Daqiong] built these stoves right in front of their houses, and [Tengu is not a dog] has been building houses in the residential area, so it is very convenient and they can come over to eat melons in just a few steps.

[Nobi Daqiong] These clay stoves have always been the focus of everyone's attention.

But during this period, apart from the charcoal being of some use, there has been no results. The "cement" made before would fall apart when squeezed, and there was no hope of success at all.

"Hahahahaha!"

[Nobi Daqiong] laughed wildly towards the sky. The feeling of searching for information online and then coming up with a result is really great!

"Wood ash cement!"

"Traditional wood ash cement" is the most classic operation. It does not have much technological content and is not very strong, but it is definitely stronger and more convenient than wood.

The most important thing is that "wood ash cement" is a prerequisite technology. Only after unlocking this one can you continue to unlock the next ones.

For example, using "wood ash cement" to build a furnace can withstand higher temperatures than a mud and sand furnace and can burn more things.

"I remember there was a furnace in the blacksmith's shop. How did he make that one? It seems like it can reach a very high temperature."

"The furnace in the blacksmith shop is quite conspicuous," asked [Tengu is not a dog]. "If I want to make something, can't I just ask the dwarf blacksmith for help? The things are already there, so I don't need to tinker with them myself, right?"
"You know nothing! I've asked around, and his stuff is incredibly advanced, and we can't even make it here at camp. We have no idea what it is, and it's good enough that we can figure out these simple things. You haven't even learned how to walk yet, and you're thinking of running away?"

[Nobi Daqiong] complained that without investigation, he had no right to speak. Of course, he had asked before doing anything.

What if the camp itself can produce mature cement? Wouldn't it be useless for him to tinker with these things?
At first, he also thought that the furnace in the blacksmith shop was made of cement, but it turned out not to be. It was made of a kind of stone. As for what it was specifically, he had no idea what it was. Anyway, it was not the same as his idea.

This made [Nobi Daiqiong] feel relieved. Perhaps there were things with similar effects in this world, but this did not prevent him from continuing to tinker with it.

First of all, Wangbo Port does not have the conditions to produce that kind of material. Secondly, its production cost is definitely lower than that thing. After all, that material does not look or sound low-end.

"Your cost is indeed very low."

[Tengu is not a dog] agreed. After all, wood ash is made from tree bark. It is the most abundant thing in Wangbo Port. It is no exaggeration to say that it is free of cost. There are plenty of them at the wood processing plant, but no one wants them. They are all picked up by Big Bear.

"Hehe, just wait and see. I'm going to become the building materials tycoon of Wangbo Port! This is how I'm going to make my fortune!"

[Nobi Daqiong] put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly. Being a chef is just his hobby. He has no intention of making money from cooking in the game.

"Here they come! I called someone over!"

[Wangchuan Qiuku] ran over, followed by two people, Karen and Lyle, the two player summoners of Wangbo Port.

Wang Chuan Qiu Ku also had a stake in the cement industry; it was he who first proposed it, and he and Nobi Daqiong instantly hit it off. The later addition of the Civil and Wood Dual Spiritual Roots also contributed significantly to the project, and was even a key factor in its ultimate success.

Before this, the two laymen [Wangchuan Qiuku] and [Nobi Daqiong] had never figured out how to play it. After all, some things cannot be replicated by just looking at some information and tinkering with them.

This is not the kind of game that can be synthesized with one click. In this game, you have to operate everything yourself and master all the details yourself. This requires not only skills but also patience. It is really not something that ordinary people can tinker with.

We still need the help of civil engineers. Once the innate civil engineering holy body takes action, we will know immediately whether it is successful or not. Success comes so suddenly.

"Master Cullen, Master Lyle, this is our achievement."

[Wangchuan Qiuku] introduced the two of them.

Karen and Lyle looked at each other. They naturally knew what was in front of them, but they didn't expect that these guys could actually figure it out. Sure enough, being able to connect to the Internet is great!
"Tell me more about it."

Lyle stepped forward and took over, looking curious.

[Wangchuan Qiuku] glanced at [Nobi Daqiong], and the halfling stepped forward without hesitation and took over the job of explaining.

The method sounds simple. Use charcoal to burn the bark into ash, add water to the ash and stir it to get potassium alkali water, calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate.

The former can be used as tanning liquid for tanning leather, and the latter two are materials for making cement. After calcination, adding sand and soil and mixing can produce the simplest wood ash cement.

[Nobi Daiqiong] explained it very simply, but when actually doing it, they still encountered a lot of troubles. However, that doesn’t matter. What matters is that they finally got the results.

"Well, well done. This tanning liquid is very useful. Prepare some more."

Lyle said that leather is one of the main products of Wangbo Port now. In order to obtain leather, the fur needs to be tanned, and the tanning agent is very important.

The transformative effect of the tanning agent can change the protein structure of the fur fibers, turning the fur into leather with better strength, moisture resistance and heat resistance.

The tanning methods currently used in Wangbo Port are still vegetable tanning, oil tanning and brain tanning, but the latter two are not used very often.

Vegetable tanning is the process of tanning leather using the juice of plant leaves, bark, fruits and roots. There are many raw materials to choose from for vegetable tanning, so it is also the most commonly used method.

Brain tanning is similar to oil tanning, using animal tanning liquid. Oil tanning uses animal pancreas, oil, or emulsified fats such as fish oil and egg yolk, while brain tanning uses animal brain matter.

"Wait a minute, that's a byproduct. The real important thing is this!"

Lyle's answer surprised both Xiong Da and Qiu Ku. "Hey, buddy, are you missing the point?"

"This? It's still not enough. Keep working on it and make it stronger and more durable."

Karen spoke up, almost explicitly telling him to continue looking up information and try to make cement better than "wood ash cement".
