Chapter 90: Wilderness Villa

Repeating the previous operation, a large amount of cement was soon made.

Adding the bricks made previously and using stones and vines to make a simple level, a self-built house with a balcony was built in this way.

Fortunately, the weather has been good recently, so after going back and forth for five days, I finally built the basic prototype.

Downstairs is a huge living room with an open kitchen next to it.

A fan vent was made for exhaust so that there wouldn’t be too strong of a smell in the house when cooking.

The rest of the space is empty. Except for the load-bearing walls, most of the space is paved with rock slabs and cement for the animals in the house to live in.

Mattresses will be made later, and when the door is closed, this place will become a huge animal nest.

Upstairs is where three people live. There are four rooms in total, one of which is specifically used to store food, and the remaining three are rooms with windows.

The view is very broad. Looking from above, you can see the jungle on one side, the seaside on one side, and the junction of the two sides on another side.

They are about the same size, but Shi Nianqing's room is obviously bigger.

The upstairs of the house is paved with stones, and a staircase is built on the side to lead upstairs.

There is a layer of protection on the roof, and the remaining space is very convenient for drying things.

The basic framework of the two-story villa has been built, and the next step is to make the furniture.

Shi Nianqing is very good at making furniture.

He asked Su Muge and Wu Xuan to cut down a large amount of bamboo according to his method.

For three people, a 1.8-meter-long bed was made in each room, using bamboo mats woven from bamboo, which was very comfortable to lie on.

On hot summer days, the breeze blowing in through the windows is very cool.

The windows had not yet been made, but Shi Nianqing had already figured out what to do.

The pine wood I brought back earlier was trimmed into poles of similar size.

Measure the length and width of each window frame, and then use the mortise and tenon structure to perform simple assembly.

The window frames on both sides are more slender, and the upper and lower window frames are relatively thick. After digging out the mortise and tenon holes, basic assembly is carried out, and then triangular holes are punched in the corners.

A very stable window frame was made in this way. Bricks and cement were used to fix it to the window frame, and cement mixed with sand and gravel was applied around it.

Wait until the cement dries slowly, and then cover it with pebbles picked up from the beach.

A beautiful and stable window frame is done.

Looking from a distance, those beautiful pebbles have different colors, which really have a special beauty to them.

Pointing the camera in the live broadcast room towards the window frame, Shi Nianqing gave a brief explanation.

"This window frame uses the mortise and tenon structure of ancient Earth. It is very stable when inserted. And with the cement fixation, even a force 18 gale cannot blow the window down."

"This is just the simplest construction method. If you're interested, you can look up information about ancient Earth. Many buildings on ancient Earth used this construction method. Those buildings used simple wood and were able to survive for thousands of years. They are treasures worth inheriting."

"Moreover, the mortise and tenon joint structure can not only be used to build houses, but also to make furniture, stools and tables. In theory, as long as there is time, it can be made, very beautiful and sturdy tables and chairs."

At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room watched all this in amazement.

Were the ancestors of ancient Earth so smart? How could a few pieces of wood survive for thousands of years?

[This looks pretty simple. Isn't it just drilling a hole and putting it in? What kind of treasure is this? ]

[Haha, enough of the above, if you have the ability, try it yourself. You just talk nonsense on the Internet, but you don’t know how to do it yourself.] [It’s a miracle that they can match perfectly without any measuring tools.]

[Oh my goodness! I just checked the data left behind by the ancient Earth, and I didn't expect this kind of craftsmanship to actually exist. From the data, it seems that Sister Shi only used the simplest mortise and tenon technique, and there are also more complex ones.]

If you’re interested, you can check out my post. These things are really cool. You can make all kinds of toys out of wood. You can try them yourself.

I went to check it out and discovered there were so many toys on ancient Earth. What is a Luban lock? Are there any companies in Interstellar that can make these toys? I really want to try it.

……

Shi Nianqing didn't know that outside the live broadcast room, a family had seen the market for this toy.

He began to constantly consult information about ancient Earth, and then asked the family's designers to do the design.

However, in just a few days, Luban locks and various small toys made of wood came into being.

Not only does it have a beautiful and artistic appearance, it also has a lot of playability.

It immediately attracted the attention of many people in the interstellar era, and those bored interstellar people actually started playing with the Luban Lock.

There are also tangrams, a treasure box of wisdom similar to building blocks...

However, the best-selling one is the Luban Lock, which ranges from simple to difficult and covers all kinds of people.

Especially those children who have nothing to do, basically everyone has a Luban lock.

This thing not only kills time, but also exercises thinking and hands-on skills.

After a period of time, the government investigated and found that the suicide rate had only dropped by 10%.

Later it was discovered that it was because these people were immersed in solving Luban locks or various toys, and inexplicably developed a desire to survive.

Of course, Shi Nianqing didn't know all this, nor did he know himself that just a few words had caused such a big impact.

There are more than a dozen windows in the house, and it took a lot of time to make the window frames.

Wu Xuan and Su Muge have different aesthetic tastes, and they arranged the pebbles in their rooms themselves.

It took quite a while in between.

It took two full days to complete the window frame.

In the following time, Shi Nianqing taught them how to make window sashes.

There are sliding and opening types.

The push-pull type is relatively rigid and more difficult to produce.

Three people chose the window sash to open the door one day.

Now the holes on the window frame that were originally thicker at the top and bottom have been selected to be made into the axis.

Then make a simple hinge out of wood.

Measure the length and width of each window, as well as the width of the opening in the middle.

The frame of the window sash is made using mortise and tenon joints, and then the window screen is woven with bamboo and tied with hemp rope made of wooden nails and thatch.

After all the window sashes are made, holes are drilled on the windows and the hinges are fixed, then the windows are snapped on and a window that can be opened and closed is ready.

You can see the scenery outside by opening the window. The sunlight shines lazily, giving people a comfortable feeling.
