MTL - Reborn To The Start Of The Apocalypse To Farm-Chapter 167 When construction is in progress
There were tinkling and ping-pong-pong sounds, and at the same time, there were many messy things in this underground parking room that had no natural light coming in at all.
The original vehicles, fallen masonry and other sundries have all been completely cleared out. Now, bundles of steel pipes, steel bars, piles of plates, masonry and other things are stacked on the edge of this space. corner position.
At this time, Wei Xuan led a group of younger brothers and slowly walked down the ramp carrying a pile of tiles, sacks and the like.
"In addition to these, it is almost enough." Shaking off a sweat, Wei Xuan let out a sigh of relief, watching the younger brothers obediently unload the things on their backs, and then "listened" to those who had just unloaded. The little zombies who finished their stuff sent out the message "hungry, hungry, hungry", and at the same time they raised their hands and took out snowflake plugs from the bags around their respective necks and put them in their mouths.
"Let's eat, let's eat. Last time, those snowflakes were almost dried out. I'll take a look when I go back later. If they are all dry, I will collect them and give them to you as food reserves." Wei Xuan looked at them with a smile Looking at this group of baby zombies who were already very autonomous in their actions, they raised their hands and patted the nearest zombie.
And then—a mixture of admiration, joy, and excitement suddenly erupted among the zombies, as when a small animal saw its mother, a caterpillar met a fresh vegetable leaf, and a puppy saw a bone.
This kind of emotion made Wei Xuan couldn't help shaking his body and taking a half step back. It seemed that Xuehua had eaten too much. Recently, his zombie brothers often collectively burst out some weird emotions from time to time. This is not the kind of simple thought that they usually "talk about", but a deeper emotion that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. Every time Wei Xuan encounters this kind of situation, Wei Xuan will be surrounded by these emotions. His head splashed all over his face, giving him the illusion that he was surrounded by some weird things.
At this time, Du Hang, who was obediently following behind him and unloaded his belongings in the first sequence, suddenly took a step forward, and when Wei Xuan was completely unprepared, he hugged him horizontally.
"??? What's the matter?" Wei Xuan raised a question mark, this sudden hug made Wei Xuan immediately think that some mutated animal was attacking. But at this time they are all underground, and they can't see what's going on outside at all.
Du Hang didn't send any thoughts to him, but looked straight at him with a pair of eyes, sending waves of grievance and resentment towards him.
Wei Xuan shuddered again, without thinking deeply, he subconsciously raised his hand to touch Du Hang's face: "Ahem, I won't want you, don't worry, I love you the most..."
Then, the resentful feeling of being abandoned by Du Hang disappeared, replaced by a feeling of desperation that was about to become a reality and dispersed in all directions. At the same time, Wei Xuan could still "hear" Du Hang's voice. Emotions emanating at this time: "My, my, my..."
Well, it's his.
His lover finally had a jealous reaction, which made Wei Xuan, who almost thought that he might never get a confession, feel better, so he just lay in Du Hang's arms and directed the unloading of the goods to eat his fill The little zombies in the stomach put the mess in the right place.
However, although Wei Xuan didn't need to go down to direct in person when unloading and placing things, he and Du Hang were needed to actually build things.
Zombie boys may also be able to learn the skills of building houses, but even Du Hang needs Wei Xuan's guidance before he can learn it quickly.
Wei Xuan is only planning to build an ice cellar for the time being. The area does not need to be too large, but it needs to be strong enough, so it is not a problem to ask the younger brothers to help. It is he himself who really needs to do it.
The design drawings have already been drawn, and Wei Xuan does not have high requirements for the ice cellar to be built for the first time. The height of the house should be about two meters, and the building area should be 40 to 50 square meters. This area is much larger than the area in the basement of my own community, but it will not make the project too large. Of course, this has a lot to do with how much he can spray out of that can of polyurethane foam, and how effective the insulation effect of the ice cellar really is.
If the finished product of the ice cellar is not good, and those sprayed with polyurethane foam are not durable, it is not possible to build such a large area of ice cellar.
But if the effect is good, then it's a big deal to build a bigger one next door.
So Wei Xuan decided to draw a place relatively close to the side to prepare for the experiment. After choosing a good place and drawing a circle, the first thing to do is to use those steel pipes and other things to build the skeleton.
Having a violent zombie husband at home is really something to show off. Unfortunately, Wei Xuan has no one and no place to show off at this time, but he watched Du Hang designate the place according to the frame after he drew it, and held it in one hand. Use the steel bar to poke the ground hard! When a hole was poked out of the originally extremely strong concrete floor without even a crack, I simply sighed and didn't know what to say.
Shaking his head and sighing, Wei Xuan approached with a solar glare flashlight and took a closer look. He was relieved after confirming that the depth of the steel bars into the ground met his requirements and that there was no major damage to the ground. With a smile on his face, he raised his hand and patted Du Hang's shoulder: "Nice job!"
Du Hang was still holding on to the steel bar with one hand, and seeing Wei Xuan looking at him like this, the message "want to kiss" immediately shot out in his mind. Although Wei Xuan was a little dumbfounded at his performance of asking for benefits after completing a small matter, he still approached him with a good temper and gave him a kiss.
Du Hang inserted all the steel rods into the designated place one by one, surrounded by a circle of zombie boys watching the western scene. Of course, they are not useless, Wei Xuan asked them to help get spare steel rods and wait there On the side, Du Hang slammed one into the ground and they handed one up. The cooperation with each other was very efficient.
After finishing the most basic supporting framework around, Wei Xuan asked the zombies to hold the horizontal steel bars used to connect the two vertical steel bars, while he started welding himself.
This kind of work that requires some technical skills is beyond the responsibility of the zombies, and even if the zombies can handle it, he is ready to do this arduous job himself in order not to really cool himself down.
Fortunately, for this day, he had welded and practiced his skills more than once when he was studying architecture, and now he is wearing a protective mask and protective clothing for welding, which looks quite professional. .
Some works are carried out very quickly, while others are relatively slow. In order to complete this project as perfectly as possible, Wei Xuan will carefully study and think about it before starting the production. Naturally, the speed of this work is not as fast as it was at the beginning So fast when moving supplies.
When Wei Xuan first built the skeleton of the house, it took a full week of work. This is not because his manual skills are too poor and his work efficiency is not good, but because the electricity is not enough.
Starting construction in the underground garage requires all kinds of lighting equipment. Even if Wei Xuan has a way to get a lot of solar flashlights, he still needs to supply electricity for welding guns. In comparison, the power consumed by lighting is far less than that consumed by welding.
Although he has an energy converter now, when there are too many domestic zombies and too many snowflakes, this energy can only be used as a backup power source, and the main consumption must rely on the electricity collected by the solar charging panels.
In this way, there is a certain limit to the power consumed by the project every day, and Wei Xuan has to reserve batteries for devices that cannot stop working, such as refrigerators and freezers at home.
Fortunately, the sun has been shining brightly these days, and a large amount of electricity can be replenished and collected every day for supply and use. It's just that the working cycle is naturally forced to be lengthened.
Fortunately, there are only so many jobs that consume a lot of power, and there is no need to use a welding torch for the time being. Wei Xuan only needs to recharge the replaced solar flashlights every day and take them to the underground parking lot in turn to use as lighting equipment.
After laying the skeleton, Wei Xuan was ready to start building the bottom foundation. In order to prevent the rainwater from flooding the ice cellar and causing heavy losses, Wei Xuan specially obtained a lot of building materials such as cement, bricks and stones from the nearby building materials city. , he is going to raise the ground higher to prevent water from entering—although he is not sure whether it is suitable to make the floor of the ice cellar into concrete, but this is the best method he can think of so far.
First make a low wall around the house, which is only about half a meter high. This wall needs to be made of bricks as the core, and the hands-on ability is relatively strong. For safety reasons, Wei Xuan also did not ask the zombies to help. Just build the wall together with Du Hang. After the wall is completely built, it is time to build the ground inside and outside the house.
Du Hang can also help him with the task of making the concrete floor. After all, since last year, under the special training of Wei Xuan, Du Hang has shown very good hands-on ability. , and smoothing them out is a piece of cake for him. During this period, Wei Xuan only needs to help him demonstrate at the beginning, and then he can sit on the side very comfortably and work as a supervisor, and at most check the flatness of the ground from time to time.
And similarly, outside of this room, Wei Xuan still needs to create a sloped concrete floor. The side of this circle of ground close to the house is the highest point, which is the same height as the concrete floor in the room, and the outermost side should naturally be parallel to the garage floor. The entire **** is about 30 degrees, and the main function of the construction is to prevent water from entering the underground layer and spreading water into the ice cellar.
Of course, if all the ice stored inside melts unexpectedly, this circle of walls will also facilitate the timely flow of accumulated water inside.
