Jiang Xue had no choice but to push the two of them out first. If they continued to make trouble like this, she would be the first one who couldn't stand it!
Mu Feng proudly pushed Sang Yang out and was about to turn around to say something to Jiang Xue, but he saw Jiang Xue walking out of the tribe.
He took two quick steps and left the tribe with her one after the other.
"Axue, are you angry when I do this?"
Jiang Xue shook her head: "No, I just want to see how our red bricks are doing."
If the system hadn't gone crazy a month ago and assigned her the task of "building a brick house", she would have been too lazy to do such a time-consuming and laborious job.
After only one month of preparation, nearly 20,000 bricks were produced.
So many bricks, neatly stacked in piles on the open ground, looked quite spectacular. But Jiang Xue was still a little worried. She didn't know if so many bricks would be enough to actually build a house.
Moreover, Jiang Xue had only made the bricks and had not yet started making the tiles.
Building a brick house requires laying a foundation. Fortunately, the houses here can be built with only one floor, unlike the doomsday where she lives, where they have to be built with dozens or even hundreds of floors. If that were the case, laying the foundation alone would be enough for her.
After the raw red bricks are made, we need to select some suitable trees to make doors, windows, beams and rafters.
Although the tribe has now started smelting iron, iron nails may seem like an insignificant little object, but they are actually quite difficult to make.
Therefore, the only thing Jiang Xue could think of was to use mortise and tenon structure to cover the roof.
Of course, all of this is just Jiang Xue's idea. How to realize it in the future will depend on the actual situation.
"I'll go with you." Mu Feng caught up with her, grabbed her hand, and went to the brickyard with her.
"Axue, can these bricks really build a house?"
"I don't know. It's better to have more red bricks than less." Jiang Xue reached out and picked up a brick and flicked it a few times with her fingers. "It should be ready to burn."
When Mu Feng heard Jiang Xue say it was ready to be burned, he quickly said, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to burn it right away."
"No rush." Jiang Xue quickly stopped him. "We still need to cut down some more trees. This batch of bricks will take at least ten days to burn. Our main task now is to build the kiln."
Jiang Xue felt a little depressed when Jian Kiln was mentioned.
She had built a pottery kiln by accident, but she had never thought about how to fire a brick kiln.
But generally speaking, the principle should be similar to that of a pottery kiln. If she didn't have the magical artifact "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" in her hand, perhaps she really wouldn't know how to operate it.
The "Tao Keng" chapter of "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" contains a detailed account of how to make bricks: "After the bricks are formed, they are loaded into the kiln. If 100 jin is loaded, the fire will last a day and a night; if 200 jin is loaded, it will take twice as long. There are two types of kilns for making bricks: firewood kilns and coal kilns..."
In short, it takes a day and a night to burn three thousand kilograms of bricks in the kiln, and it takes twice as long to burn six thousand kilograms. There are also wood-fired kilns and coal-fired kilns.
Their handmade bricks usually weigh at least two to three pounds. That is to say, if they burn one thousand to one thousand five hundred bricks, it will take one day, one thousand five hundred to two thousand bricks will take two days, and so on.
But then again, bricks are easy to burn, but kilns are difficult to build, and we have to leave fire channels, smoke exhaust ducts, and other factors that need to be taken into consideration.
The most important thing is that they lack relevant experience.
Although Jiang Xue has the magical book "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" in her hand, she still can't cook without rice!
Right now, she can only take one step at a time.
When it comes to building the kiln, she has to test it herself first before letting others do it.
How tragic! How could she live such a pathetic life?!
She was the one who took the lead in digging the trenches in the beginning, she was the one who farmed the land, she was the one who made pottery bowls, and now she is the one who makes bricks!
Even building pig pens, bamboo houses, and toilets required her!
This is really treating men as animals and women as men!
"Build a kiln?" Mu Feng's eyes lit up. "Should we dig a hole in the ground and put these bricks in?"
"That won't do!" Jiang Xue laughed helplessly. "When I get back later, I'll have to find Uncle Song and ask them to weave more wicker baskets."
Using rattan baskets to hold bricks should be sturdier and more durable than using bamboo baskets. Of course, it would be even better if a wheelbarrow could be made to transport the bricks.
Wait, Jiang Xue was stunned. A unicycle?!
This is possible!
In the future, using a wheelbarrow to harvest rice and transport red bricks will be easier than carrying them on your shoulders!
Moreover, the tribe already had cows. If the wheelbarrow was modified into two wheels, it would become a wooden cart!
Then put it on the back of an ox and it will become a real ox cart!
"Let's go back and make a unicycle first."
Before Mu Feng could react, Jiang Xue hurriedly walked towards the tribe.
No matter what, she said she would figure out this time-saving and labor-saving thing first!
Fortunately, whether it is brick kilns or boats and carriages, they are all recorded in "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature"!
As long as it is recorded in "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature", it will be much more convenient!
If you really can't do it yourself, just exchange one in the system and give it to them to study.
She didn't believe the saying that three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. There were so many people in the Snake Tribe, but there wasn't even one person who knew how to make a car!
When Mu Feng took advantage of dinner time to spread Jiang Xue's intentions in the tribe, everyone immediately became uneasy.
"Snow Witch, what on earth is this unicycle? We've never seen one before. Can you draw one for us to see?"
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
