Chapter 63 Be a Gentleman
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, after eating four fruits, Li Siwen successfully excavated the foundation with a circumference of 40 meters, a width of 5 meters, and a depth of 2 meters. This also means that the progress of his safe house strategic project has at least broken through 20%,
But with the successful excavation of this foundation pit, his fine steel shovel is about to die.
In fact, it wasn't like this in the first place, because Li Siwen was anxious in the second half of the journey, so he unknowingly accelerated his speed, so after the wooden handle of the shovel broke three times, the central nose bridge of the fine steel shovel broke.
All of a sudden, he changed from a shovel in the prime of life to a dying man.
Li Siwen's heartache can't be expressed in words. Fortunately, he has now dug a well and a foundation. The place where the shovel is used is to make bricks with mud, so it should be fine if you are careful.
As for now—
You can't rest. If this foundation cannot be piled up with a stone wall quickly, it will become a deadly threat, such as a sudden rainstorm.
Immediately, he went straight to the Manshui Valley, wanting stones. There are the most here, and they are all washed down from the upper reaches. Some stones are as big as houses, and some are as big as trucks. They are everywhere.
Every time he came here, Li Siwen was quite curious, what was the upper reaches of the flooded valley, and why were there so many big rocks being washed down? Look, it's spectacular.
Li Siwen would even occasionally think that if he lost one meter of height out of thin air, then standing here at this moment would definitely feel like towering peaks, craggy rocks, a thin line of sky, murderous intent everywhere, and a vast and ancient aura of prehistoric desolation spontaneously arose.
Well, this is a metaphor, which means that a person's position is different, and the field of vision is different. Jumping to conclusions is easy to make people laugh.
So when you are alive, think twice.
However, imagination is good, but reality is cruel
Li Siwen was planning a big deal now, because if he wanted to build a stone wall, the stronger the better, of course, in the absence of cement concrete, the bigger the stone, the better.
At the beginning, he went straight to a stone of about one cubic meter, but when he moved it, the big stone shook slightly, which was a little embarrassing.
Then he immediately replaced it with a stone of about half a cubic meter, which still shook slightly, which was embarrassing.
Fuck me, why is it so heavy? I thought I, Li Yiniu, could walk sideways here.
Li Siwen, who was quickly hit, had to lower his standards to the rock in front of him. It's really not too big, that is, one third, or one quarter of a cubic meter?
Take a deep breath and move your dantian. Well, please ask, where is the dantian?
Hey!
Breathing out loudly, Li Siwen stretched his arms and really lifted the stone in front of him, but he threw it away after a few seconds.
It's too heavy, at least a thousand catties. If he just moved this piece, he would be able to run three kilometers at full speed, but according to his plan, what he wants to move is hundreds of thousands of stones! , why not exhaust him to death?
Returning to reality, he had no choice but to choose the stone of four to five hundred catties, which is now the goal where his 24 points of strength can best reflect the huge advantage. He can move dozens of pieces in one go without rest.
Actually, the volume of these stones is not small, it should be one-fifth of a cubic meter. The defensive effect of piling up must be good.
Li Siwen thought so, and began to carry the stones back. According to the distance between the tree house and the flooded valley, he could carry them once in five minutes, twelve times an hour, and it was only two hundred and eighty if he moved nonstop all day. eight dollars.
And to fill up that 400 cubic meter foundation pit——
Li Siwen staggered suddenly, how many stones would he have to carry? .
Come on, calm down. This math problem is not calculated in this way. There are huge gaps between the stones. In theory, there are more than a thousand stones in a foundation pit of 400 cubic meters.
At most two thousand is pretty much filled, so it's not like I've dug myself a bottomless pit.
Having said that, Li Siwen was not really anxious or worried. He knew how much effort he would need to put into the safe house strategy project from the moment he first formulated it. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight. When it's done, he's satisfied.
But now he is working on all kinds of things at the same time, busy with one thing for a while, busy with another for a while, it looks chaotic, but in fact, he doesn't waste much time at all.
For example, when he was digging a foundation pit, he didn't delay cutting trees, taking care of the farmland, patrolling the territory, or kneading tiles with mud. Every six hours, as soon as the cooling time of the level 4 talent Spirit Vision expired, To pinch two hundred tiles, one thousand earth bricks will be squeezed out every day, the reconstruction of the kiln, the chopping of firewood, all of these are done during the rest time of digging the foundation pit, fully ensuring The safety line of physical strength also ensures that all things can be carried out with time.
Now that he has dug the foundation pit, he can put the first batch of bricks and tiles that have dried in the shade into the kiln tomorrow, while continuing to knead new bricks and tiles, chop new firewood, and make new planks , logs, etc.
In the evening, Li Siwen stopped carrying stones and began to fetch water and mud from the well. After mixing the mud evenly, he activated the level 4 talent Spirit Vision, and kneaded 200 tiles in 15 minutes steadily and quickly. pieces, and then started mass brick making.
Now the water output in the well has become more and more, almost one meter deep, so the maximum limit of brick making has been lifted.
However, mixing with mud required more strength than digging a hole. Li Siwen himself was fine, but the shovel couldn't bear it, which also limited his speed.
He was busy until around nine o'clock in the evening before he finished making 1,000 adobe bricks.
At this time, the pot of dried wild vegetable, mushroom, and fish soup was also cooked. The pot was used as a bowl, and two wooden sticks were used as chopsticks.
Salt and seasoning aside, this food problem is always the biggest hidden danger!
After wiping his mouth, Li Siwen said with emotion, he now has 50 points of physical strength, and he is only barely full after eating this 40-jin pot of wild vegetable mushroom dried fish soup, so what should he do if his physical strength continues to increase in the future?
He can't really become a fool!
The importance of stamina is unquestionable, not to mention that he is now doing the work of ten ordinary people alone, even if he encounters danger, such as being bitten by a poisonous insect, the higher the stamina, the safer his life will be!
So, should I change my thinking mode, food, I can't just consider the quantity, why not consider increasing the quality of the food?
I have to eat a hundred catties of ordinary food to be full. If it is high-quality food, I may be able to eat ten catties. In that case, I should have the opportunity to eat like a real noble gentleman in the future.
Well, gentleman...
