Chapter 44 Collecting Wood Ashes
"Cement..."
Jiang Tian muttered something silently.
I opened the trading bank again and searched.
Still no trace of cement was found.
Since there is no finished product, just make it yourself.
As soon as this idea came up, Jiang Tian was in trouble again.
The ingredients of cement are limestone, clay and iron ore powder.
We already have clay, but where can we find limestone and iron ore powder?
Jiang Tian has seen through this iron ore thing.
The current "game" version will not refresh metal for the time being.
And let alone iron ore, there is not even limestone.
How to do this?
Is the clay refreshed this time just for survivors to farm?
Are you still not allowed to build your own brick house in the game?
Seeing Jiang Tian frown.
Shi Zhigang also realized that even as his boss, he would not be able to get cement for a while.
Then he made a serious promise to Jiang Tian:
"Boss, don't worry. As long as I'm here, even if there is no cement, the quality of the house we build will not be bad!"
"Um……"
Jiang Tian sighed: "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Arrange everyone to move the fired bricks out of the mound, and then move the dried bricks into the brick kiln for burning.
Jiang Tian clasped his hands behind his back and walked alone on the island.
I looked at the pond in the woods to the north, and then at the chickens, ducks and geese in the west.
Unknowingly, Jiang Tian walked to the warehouse.
Boxes containing supplies appeared in front of Jiang Tian one after another.
Several boxes were opened, containing construction materials such as nails and plastic sheets.
Seeing this, Jiang Tian thought about cement again.
I felt even more upset.
I walked while watching, and soon I came to the corner of the warehouse.
Here lies a large plastic bag containing a small pile of gray powder.
These are the powders after burning the useless bark and leaves as fuel when making fires for cooking.
The scientific name is plant ash.
The purpose of storing these is mainly to store potatoes to increase their shelf life.
And this stuff can also be used as fertilizer to increase plant yields.
In this resource-poor place, it can be used to stop bleeding in case of injury.
Overall, this thing has quite a lot of uses.
However, Jiang Tian has no time to think about those things now.
Look at the gray color and the shape of the powder.
Jiang Tian thinks this thing looks like cement powder.
He knelt down and picked up a handful of plant ashes.
"Sigh... You said it would be great if you were cement."
Jiang Tian murmured as he watched the powder flow down his fingertips.
After saying this, Jiang Tian smiled helplessly again.
"I'm confused too. Plant ash is plant ash, how could it turn into cement...
etc! "
At this time, Jiang Tian paused.
His eyes were fixed on the ashes of the vegetation, as if he remembered something.
The mind races through memory.
Soon after, several images appeared in my mind.
Yes!
It’s just plant ash!
Dropping the ashes in his hand, Jiang Tian clapped his hands.
He strode out with a happy face.
"Shi Zhigang! Shi Zhigang! Come here!"
…
The next day.
The sun is shining brightly.
On each empty island, the survivors were chatting while placing fishing rods.
on the regional chat channel.
Some people were chatting, while others were purchasing various supplies.
"Take in a chicken. If interested, we can chat privately."
"Collect two fish and exchange them for planks!"
"Collect the planks and exchange them for food!"
"Two of you upstairs, can't you go and have a private chat?"
"No, I can't talk to that guy."
"The price offered by Shabi is too low. Two fishes are given for one wooden board. I'd better find someone else to exchange it for."
"Hahaha, I just caught a chicken! What's your price for the chicken?"
"..."
Everything seemed to have returned to calm, as if what happened yesterday never happened.
However, now it seems that many names have popped up that I have not seen before, and the tone of speaking is quite aggressive.
After careful identification, we can find that these people are the same group of people who 4144 hoped to get together with when he was playing games yesterday.
Just when various purchase messages were popping up and some people were bragging about cheating and arguing, an acquisition message appeared in the channel.
"CNNS1111: Collect clay, rainwater, and the grass and trees are gray!"
This inexplicable acquisition news from a familiar ID instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"plant ash?"
"Boss, if you want to build a house, I understand that you need to collect clay and water. Why are you collecting this plant ash?"
"Isn't plant ash just the garbage after burning firewood? What do you need this for?"
"Boss, are you going to farm?"
“I think it’s just farming, otherwise what’s the use of collecting clay and plant ashes?”
"If you want to take this away, tell me earlier. I threw away all the ashes I used to make the fire."
"Let me go, it turns out that you are farming, not building a house? You really scared me yesterday!"
"That's right, I'm still living in a tent, and the wooden house hasn't been built yet. Can you build a house?"
"Hahaha, this kid is just showing off!"
"I think the 1111 boss is just building a house. Why don't you believe it?"
"This idiot wants to collect ash and other garbage, so let's trade with him, hahahaha!"
"Bah! Pretender!"
"..."
The messages on the regional chat channel were scrolling fast.
Most of them were mocking Jiang Tian, who was boasting and bragging about his own shortcomings.
But this acquisition message also had an effect.
While a group of people were mocking Jiang Tian, many trading messages were also sent to him.
Jiang Tian just smiled faintly at those taunts.
If you don't believe it, then don't believe it. Anyway, I didn't build this house for you to see.
I ignored these taunts and accepted the trading messages sent one by one to start communicating.
Jiang Tian was controlling the trading interface while pouring the collected ash into a large sack.
Because everyone had less ash, the transaction lasted for more than an hour.
His hands were sore.
At the same time.
There was still a lot of discussion on the chat channel.
Many people were still mocking Jiang Tian for spending these precious resources to collect garbage.
Others, who had a good relationship with Jiang Tian, did not understand what he was going to do with the ash.
Finally, he exchanged some food, salt, and a small amount of wood for two large bags of ash.
Seeing the ash, Jiang Tian smiled.
Finally, it was enough!
Then he carried a large sack in one hand and ran excitedly to the bricklaying area.
"Shi Zhigang, come and see this!"
"Boss, this is..."
Looking at the powder in the two large sacks, Shi Zhigang was a little confused.
He picked up a handful and rubbed it on his fingers, and asked with a puzzled look: "Is this ash?"
"No."
Jiang Tian smiled slightly.
"This is our cement!"
