Returning ten years ago, with only two months left until the giant storm, Jing Shu began building her fortress, raising some endangered chickens, ducks, and fish, planting some vegetables that woul...
Chapter 013 Invincible Fortress
Master Liu swallowed hard, and Captain Chen's jaw dropped in shock. "Tempered glass is too expensive. Why not consider composite glass or cement walls?"
The key to high security in the apocalypse is to save time. Once the frame is built, the tempered glass is installed and it's done. It's like putting a big cover on the villa. She doesn't have time to waste!
"For beauty." Jingshu thought about it and felt that this reason was correct.
"Okay, the company has a batch of tempered glass that can't be sold. The cost price is exactly over 100,000 yuan." Captain Chen quickly wrote down the materials.
"By the way, replace all the glass with triple-layer insulating glass. It's high-end and also provides thermal insulation and sound insulation." Jingshu took out the design drawings and began to talk about her ideas of the past few days one by one.
In the fourth year of the apocalypse, there were frequent mountain explosions and mudslides. There were thunders every day but no rain. Lightning exploded right next to my ears, and all kinds of sounds were shocking. Sometimes a muffled thunder would shake the whole house, so sound insulation was necessary.
Jingshu still remembers the heavy snow very clearly. She doesn’t know how many people froze to death or starved to death. Many people froze to death while digging tree roots.
Jingshu's body was covered with frostbite, which was itchy and painful. When it broke, pus oozed out, and the scabs formed, it became a big scar. She had to do endless work every day to get a little bit of bark and rotten food, which was not enough to eat.
Make a fist, don’t get frostbite all over your body and disfigure yourself this time.
"I'm going to build a boiler room at the back of the villa, and connect the boiler to two stoves so that we can cook without lighting a fire in winter. I'll also add a kang, and grill meat and naan inside. And build a coal room at the innermost part." Jingshu pointed to a row of aisles at the back of the villa and said, and she thought of naan pit meat... slurp.
Floor heating is used in the north. The floor heating in Jingshu's villa is heated by a wall-mounted boiler, and the price is determined by the amount of gas used.
But after the second year of the apocalypse, all gas and electricity resources were used to supply the artificial sun, and the government was able to grow some food. As for cooking by oneself, it was even more impossible, and there was nothing to eat.
Therefore, it is necessary to add a boiler room to burn your own fuel. You can cook by burning coal or charcoal, and you can get double warmth by using floor heating and air conditioning.
The second step of fortress transformation: warm in winter and cool in summer, with water and electricity, enough food to eat, and a good life!
"This is easy. Just open a door in the corner of your kitchen." Captain Chen breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Jingshu would come up with another wild idea.
Jingshu took them to the front yard of the villa. "I originally planned to plant flowers on both sides, but now I want to dig a small pond on the left, a little deeper, so I can raise lotus and fish. I'm also going to install two rows of fluorescent lights that imitate sunlight above the pond. I'm worried about insufficient sunlight in the winter."
"The middle aisle will remain unchanged, but I'm going to build a water storage and circulation system underneath the right side, and I'll continue growing things on top."
Captain Chen quickly wrote down the required materials: "As long as the waterproofing is done, there will be no problem, don't worry."
The pond is relatively small, about 8 square meters, and the water storage and circulation area is about 20 square meters. Jingshu plans to plant vegetables on it in an area of more than 20 square meters.
Jingshu brought the two of them to the gate of the yard and said, "Build a storage room in this area and divide it into four enclosed areas." In fact, it was used to raise chickens and pigs.
After discussing the needs outside the villa, Jingshu took the two of them into the villa.
Jing's father used the best materials and anti-theft doors and windows to decorate the villa, including a hidden basement and anti-theft doors, which do not need to be replaced.
The first floor has a living room of 40 square meters (hollow), a kitchen of 15 square meters, a dining room of 20 square meters, a cloakroom of 20 square meters, a bedroom (+ toilet) of 25 square meters, a bedroom (+ bathroom) of 20 square meters, and a main room of 15 square meters.
"Move the dining room to the main hall, connect the kitchen and dining room to make a large kitchen, then build another row of cabinets on this side, and build a door over there to connect to the boiler room as you requested." This way there will be a place to put the large freezer and the purchased supplies.
Thinking of an extra-large kitchen filled with all kinds of food and supplies, Jingshu felt full of security.
The second floor has a large bedroom suite including a study, storage room, dressing room, bathroom, a living room and a bedroom.
"Convert the living room on the second floor into a greenhouse with constant temperature." This requires a lot of work, such as changing the water and electricity, changing the pipes, making insulation and shelves, setting up light stands, etc.
Finally, Jingshu came to the terrace on the third floor, which was 40 meters high.
The water tanks and solar power generation have been reserved. Jingshu originally wanted to farm, but considering the severe water shortage in the first year, she decided to put more water tanks so that she could farm moderately in the next few years.
"We'll install another elevator here, and the guys who'll install the water storage system will be here in a few days."
The third step of fortress transformation: being able to farm, have poultry, eggs to eat and milk to drink.
It took an hour to communicate with Captain Chen and Master Liu about the ideas of both parties, and then the two signed a contract. The task of renovating the villa was officially handed over to Master Chen's team.
"Guaranteed completion!"
In the afternoon, Master Chen took Jingshu to select various materials and then sign. All the materials were selected in one day. The total estimated cost was more than 400,000 yuan, which surprised Jingshu herself.
When Jing's father returned home for dinner in the evening, he seemed to be hesitant to speak. In the end, he said nothing when he saw his daughter wolfing down her food. His daughter has been smiling less and talking less recently. She used to love dressing up and wore different clothes every day, but now she hasn't changed her clothes for several days. What happened?
…
On November 7, the quails in Jingshu's space hatched. Jingshu fed the 10 newly hatched quails with diluted spiritual spring water and numbered them. She also marked the new eggs and collected a wave of chicken and duck eggs.
Unfortunately, the chicken and duck eggs have not hatched yet. They have been incubating for 5 days. Jingshu wondered if she should use egg number 1 to hatch them faster.
The hen No. 1 has grown bigger and can lay an exaggerated ten eggs every day. Judging from the acceleration rate, No. 1 should have entered a period of decline, but it has not. It is still a fighter among hens.
Jingshu decided to observe for another seven days. If the situation remained the same, she could start taking the spiritual spring water in moderation. After a period of time without any side effects, she could give some spiritual spring water to her parents as well.
The growth of cattle, sheep and pigs is very encouraging. They are already half grown. According to this progress, the sows, sheep and cattle will be mature in more than 20 days, and the males will have to wait more than a month. It seems that their growth is really related to the spiritual spring.
Jingshu has been so busy these days that she has barely been able to move her hands or feet. She has only just managed to install the central air conditioning and the solar power generation system. She asked Captain Chen to deliver the remaining appliances after he has finished renovating the kitchen.
Four super large water tanks almost filled the balcony, so Jingshu finally no longer feared that she would be thirsty and unable to drink water in the first year of the apocalypse, and could only survive by licking her lips and swallowing saliva.
The steel frame of the inverted triangle tempered glass wall that Jingshu wanted has been built, and the retractable top layer has also been designed. All we have to do is install the glass tomorrow and it will be done.
Jingshu, who got half of the sky today, is going to collect food.
