Chapter 35 My goodness, are you here to survive or to go on vacation?

Take out all the clay, break up the clods and pour them into the puddle.

Lu Bu stood by the pit, stirring it with a shovel, mixing the soil and water together and stirring it into mud.

Shi Zhigang returned to the house and took out the brick mold made last night.

The production of this mold is also very simple, just saw several wooden boards to a certain length and nail them together to make a hollow rectangular parallelepiped.

Then add the mixed clay inside.

A square clay brick is completed.

Of course, doing it piece by piece is too inefficient.

Last night, Shi Zhigang improved and expanded these molds.

In the end, two large molds were made that were roughly square in shape and 1 meter long on each side. They were filled with rectangular hollow gaps.

Place the mold on the ground, throw large pieces of clay into it, and compact it.

Then push away the overflowing clay from the top of the board and pick up the mold.

It can make 32 square bricks at one time.

This can greatly improve production efficiency.

Of course, the square bricks just made from the mold must be dried before they can be fired.

While Lu Bu was stirring the clay, Jiang Tian and Shi Zhigang started making wooden frames for drying bricks.

8 square meters and over 2 meters high.

According to the thickness of the bricks, there are more than twenty layers in total.

By calculation, if the shelves are full, about 5,000 bricks can be hung at the same time.

The wooden frame is ready and the clay in the pit is mixed.

The three of them started filling the molds and moving bricks again...

From time to time, Jiang Tian would go to the fishing place to catch up.

Open a chest, fight a goblin, place an empty soil, etc.

When I got busy, I lost track of time.

I woke up around seven in the morning and worked hard until noon.

Before I knew it, the sun was shining brightly.

Jiang Tian and Lu Bu sat directly on the dried soil and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Crack."

Jiang Tian lit a cigarette and took a puff.

Looking at the wooden frame filled with bricks, I sighed:

“I didn’t expect that after living so long, I would have to move bricks one day, and I would look like a machine on an assembly line.

I don’t know how long I will have to do this kind of work. "

Shi Zhigang smiled naively: "Boss, just get used to it. Although I don't remember my previous experience, I always feel that I have been here like this before."

While chatting, Cai Wenji and Lu Bu brought water and food over.

After washing his hands, he began to fill his hungry stomach.

Generally speaking, lunch is a casual meal, and these are just the kinds of food that are common in supermarkets.

The four of them gnawed on bread and ham, drank Coca-Cola and made do with it.

After eating, I pulled up those ringing fishing rods to harvest some supplies.

Shi Zhigang and Lu Bu were arranged to light a fire next to the wooden frame where the bricks were placed to speed up the hardening of the bricks.

Then Jiang Tian took Cai Wenji back to the house and took a nap.

If other survivors knew their living conditions at this time, they would be extremely angry.

Many of them don't even have food to eat at this point.

While he was busy fishing, he also had to spare time to build his own wooden house.

Where is the time to go back and take a nap?

and.

He actually took a nap with a loli in his arms?

Good guy, are you here to survive or on vacation?

An hour later.

"Master, it's time to get up."

The humanoid alarm clock Cai Wenji shouted to Jiang Tian.

"ha……"

He stretched out and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Jiang Tian walked out of the door and came to the burning fire.

"Shi Zhigang, how are the bricks being baked?"

"Boss, bake them all."

"Huh? So fast?"

Jiang Tian raised his eyebrows.

I came to the wooden shelf and touched it.

The surface is dry and the moisture is almost gone.

It seems that the material in this place is different from before.

But then again, the plants here can mature in a few days, so it's not surprising that the bricks dry faster.

Of course, the bricks in their current state cannot be put into use.

It also requires a large fire to thoroughly burn and sinter the bricks, and then cool them to form real bricks.

This is the last step, the most important step.

Here, you need to use a brick kiln.

After choosing a location, the three big men came to the south of the island.

The empty soil caught by fishing, in addition to filling part of the west side before, also filled the south side.

While settling the land in the south, Jiang Tian had an idea.

When placing the empty soil, place the newly acquired empty soil in a place with a similar thickness in the center of the island.

After demarcating a square area of ​​12 square meters, we started digging the soil.

After digging a pit one meter deep, a fire was lit in the center.

Then start piling the clay around the edges.

As the clay below is baked and solidified bit by bit, a new layer of clay is piled on top of this layer.

It feels a bit like making a stove before.

Finally, I kept busy until the sunset.

A simple brick kiln is finally completed.

The total building is 2 meters, but it is sunk 1 meter to facilitate the placement of fuel.

Next, the three of them were still busy.

Place the bricks one by one in the brick kiln, and then use the branches to make charcoal...

finally.

When the moon rose, the small brick kiln was lit.

Today's work was over.

After a busy day, the three people were as tired as grandsons.

"Finally, we're done. It's not easy."

Jiang Tian looked at the brick kiln with emotion.

Shi Zhigang also panted and said:

"Yes, today's work intensity gave me a very familiar feeling."

"Alas, there are still not enough laborers. It would be better if there were more people... OK, everyone go back and rest for a while."

Jiang Tian waved his hand and shouted to the fishing place:

"Cai Wenji, collect the rods!"

"Here!"

Hearing the sound, Cai Wenji lifted the fishing rods one by one.

At this time.

The bell of one of the fishing rods rang again.

"Dinglingling!"

Cai Wenji was stunned at first, and then reacted.

Holding the fishing rod with both hands, she lifted it.

Feeling the gravity from the fishing rod, her heart skipped a beat.

This weight seemed like a wooden box.

"Bang."

Just thinking about it, the clouds dispersed, and a wooden box really fell down.

Then he shouted to the other side:

"Master!"

"What's wrong?"

"Box!"

"Oh, I see!"

Jiang Tian sighed and stood up.

How many times has this box been caught today?

It seems that more than ten have been caught, and they are all goblins.

The pointed ears, protruding nose, and the weird cry almost made him vomit.

It's almost time to eat, but I caught one at this time, which is really unlucky.

Jiang Tian thought secretly in his heart.

Come to the fishing place.

Let Cai Wenji stand aside and slowly pull the wooden board apart.

Two seconds later.

A hunched guy stood up.

"Fuck you..."

Jiang Tian clenched his fists and was about to punch this thing.

Suddenly, his body paused.

"...Eh? Old man?"
