Traveling through the world of beasts: I light up my survival skills in the wild

Chapter 99 Shell Roof

Su Ran's body aches and pains gradually began to improve after a few days of the same high-intensity labor.

She almost gritted her teeth and endured the first few days.

After the most difficult days passed, her body seemed to gradually become accustomed to such high-intensity activities.

After finishing her busy work every day, apart from being a little tired, she no longer felt any pain.

And it's not just that.

Her technique of laying bricks also began to become more and more proficient, and her speed gradually began to increase.

Su Ran even thought that if one day she suddenly traveled back to Earth and couldn't find a job, she could become a construction worker...

On the second day after starting to build the foundation, Hui also started to learn how to lay bricks from Su Ran.

Up to now, although its movements are still a bit unskilled, because of its strength, it can pick up stone bricks much faster than Su Ran, so overall it is not much slower than Su Ran.

Occasionally, when Su Ran looked at the ash being put up with stone bricks, and then looked at the house that was slowly forming a frame in front of her, she would always feel a magical feeling from the bottom of her heart.

The idea of ​​building a house with tools and processed materials in a primitive and barbaric world seems to be very inconsistent with this barbaric world.

The progress of a large project will be extremely slow when there are few workers.

Su Ran and Hui slowly spent nearly a month building the frame of the house.

During this period, except for two days of rest because of the rain, and then Su Ran's period break, Su Ran and Hui worked almost non-stop all day long.

When Su Ran got her period this time, although Hui's reaction was still very nervous, she was no longer so panicked.

Su Ran had her period this time during the day.

When she was washing her hands by the river and preparing to have breakfast, she suddenly felt something strange underneath her body. Before she could react, Hui also smelled it quickly.

When it smelled the strange smell on Su Ran's body, it first frowned, with confusion on its face.

Then the expression on his face changed, as if he remembered something, and he immediately bent down and carried Su Ran back to the bird's nest.

Then during this period, Su Ran once again felt the feeling of being cared for like a fragile doll.

Although it didn't express its worry this time with a heart-rending wail as if Su Ran had died like it did last time, it still stayed by Su Ran's side almost every step of the way.

Even if Su Ran wanted it to go ahead and continue building the house, it would not, but stubbornly wanted to hold Su Ran and use his own body to keep her warm.

In the end, Su Ran had no choice, and the warm body temperature of Hui's body was indeed very comfortable, so she just let it go!

And maybe because of the previous experience, Su Ran felt that the comfort she felt in being cared for this time was obviously much better than last time.

This made her a little happy.

I am secretly happy that the orc I met is him!

After her period ended, Su Ran once again devoted herself to building houses.

Nearly a month after starting to build the house, the main frame of the house was finally completed.

Su Ran looked at the nearly three-meter-high brick wall in front of her, her eyes filled with excitement, and she almost shed tears!

Finally almost done!

To be honest, looking at the frame of the house in front of her that was missing the last step, Su Ran still felt a little proud of herself from the bottom of her heart!

After the main frame of the house was completed, Su Ran took Hui back to the beach to collect shells for two days.

She wanted to use shells to make the outermost layer of tiles on the roof, but because all the shells she had collected had been used to make homemade cement, she had to collect some more if she wanted to make tiles.

After collecting it, Su Ran began to take the charcoal, draw marks on the wood that had been prepared before, and then dig out the holes and tenons on it.

There are no nails in Su Ran, so the beams and roof still have to be constructed using mortise and tenon structures.

After the beams were placed on the house, Su Ran had to lay a layer of wooden boards on the beams.

And these wooden boards are made from the giant trees that Hui and Ah Huo and the others first found.

In order to saw through these giant trees, Su Ran also took out the scroll saw from the tool bag.

As a result, the scroll saw broke on the wood after less than three days of use, which made Su Ran feel distressed.

In the end, Hui could only use his paws to dig it.

As for why the saw blade on the multifunctional ax is not used, it is because the saw blade is too short, and the blade is not even half the diameter of these trees.

Moreover, Su Ran was worried that if the saw blade was broken, she would not have a tool that could cut wood.

After all, saw blades are difficult to make with other things.

When installing the beams, except for Xiao Ju and A Jin who happened to come over and help for two days in the last two days, Su Ran and Hui basically installed the rest by themselves.

It is not difficult to transport the hole-drilled beam to the roof. Hui can fly up directly on the whole piece of wood.

The difficulty is how to install those wooden boards to the beams.

Under normal circumstances, if there are mortises on the beams, then there should be mortises left when the board is made.

But if you want to leave a small piece of protruding wood on the board when sawing out the board, this technique is really a bit difficult for Su Ran.

In the end, Su Ran sat on the wood and thought for a long time. At noon, she remembered that there was another way to connect two pieces of wood together.

Nowadays, holes have been dug out in the wood used for the beams.

So Su Ran directly dug out holes of the same size on the wooden board at the position opposite to the holes on the beams.

Then align the holes on the two different pieces of wood, cut out a piece of wood the same size as the holes, and nail it through the two holes stacked together.

After nailing it, Su Ran shook the wooden board connected to the beam.

Not moving at all.

Perfect!

So according to this method, Su Ran and Hui covered the roof with wooden boards in just one day.

After the paving was completed, Su Ran spread a layer of fine sand on top of the wooden boards, and then sealed it with homemade cement.

Then came the final step.

She pressed the shells she picked up one by one and attached them to the roof with wet cement.

Even the chimney standing on the roof was not left alone.

The reason for putting the shells was not only that Su Ran wanted these shells to play a decorative role, but also that although the roof was sealed with a layer of cement, she didn't know how waterproof the cement was.

So putting a layer of shells on top can also act as a layer for water.

For this reason, Su Ran was extremely careful when pressing the shells into the cement.

After all, she didn’t want the house she had finally built to be built, and within a few days of living in it, there would be heavy rain outside and light rain inside!
