After he finished speaking, he sighed regretfully, "I still don't understand how they built that heated bed. If they found a huge rock and dug it out slowly, that would be too time-consuming. Every household in Qingshan City has one, and I don't know how long they've been working on it, let alone how long it took them to build our dormitory."
At this time, the sub-beast sitting next to him tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "I think I might know."
The White Mountain Clan leader, Mei, and several other students all looked towards the sub-beast and asked, "What's going on? How did you know? Did the people from Qingshan City teach you?"
Sub-beast slowly spoke, "I'm not entirely sure. Let me first tell you what I think and see if it makes sense."
The Baishan tribe leader nodded kindly, "Well, go ahead and let's discuss it together."
Ya Shou thought about it for a while, then looked at Mei and said, "Do you remember that we Ya Shou have to clean up every day off?"
"Yes, I remember. The teacher told us to put all our personal belongings in the closet on our days off because we had to go into the dormitory to clean." Mei replied.
"I found it while I was cleaning. There were some orc students in the dormitory playing around at night, making a lot of noise. The dorm manager was called over and told they'd scratched the heated beds. So they were punished by cleaning the bunny shed for the whole day."
"I was once assigned to clean that dormitory, and I noticed that the outer layer of the mattress in one corner had fallen off. I went over to take a closer look and found that they had put together a piece of red stones. The stones were glued together with something the same color as the surface of the mattress."
Yazun gestured with his hands to measure the size of a brick, then continued, "So, I think the heated bed might not be made of a single piece of stone, but rather built like a house, using something like resin to hold it together."
After hearing what Sub-Beast said, everyone first showed an expression of surprise, and then a look of sudden enlightenment.
After a while, the Baishan tribe leader made the final decision and said, "Let's try the method you mentioned. You are the only ones in our tribe who have seen and used this kind of heated bed. I'll leave this matter to you guys."
The few underage kids who received the task immediately looked at the White Mountain Clan leader with serious expressions and said, "We will definitely get the heated bed ready before we go to Qingshan City for the summer semester."
After Deng Mei and two young orcs and sub-beast boys who were studying together in Qingshan City left the chief's house, the Baishan chief sat on the floor of the room in a daze.
The tribe has successors, and the future will be better and better. He has to hold on for a few more years, at least until these kids are 25 years old.
He recalled Mei's short essay, "My Tribe." Was this how the Baishan Tribe looked through the eyes of young people? It seemed he was doing a pretty good job as a tribe leader.
The patriarch, who had been managing the Baishan tribe for decades but had never found a suitable successor, smiled with relief.
As teams picking up students arrived in Qingshan City one after another, the construction of Haicheng was also put on the agenda.
After counting the people who were willing to build Haicheng, Xuan set off with the first group of people. It was no surprise that Zhuo and Jie joined in.
A small dirt road needs to be built between Haicheng and Qingshancheng to facilitate the transportation of supplies from Qingshancheng using carts. In addition to the carts, Jia, the chief of the Hamster Tribe, also became the head of the transport team.
A year later, when I came to the beach again, the people of Bird Island and the Blue Water Tribe had built simple residential areas on the beach.
Po sat on a big rock, looking at the design drawings of Haicheng and Haicheng Market brought by Meng Yuqing.
The person in charge from Bird Island was Li, the flying orc who had sent the people from Qingshan City away from Bird Island. The apprentice he brought with him was the first orc he met when Qingshan City went to the island, the golden eagle orc Ling.
"So we should build it according to this diagram, right?" Ling asked casually, putting his arm on Lian's shoulder.
Lian threw Ling's arm down and then put his arm around Ling's shoulder, putting all his weight on him. He said, "Yuqing said this is just a reference. We all live on land, so we're mainly responsible for land construction. The Blue Water Tribe needs to see if there are any changes to the sea from the perspective of the orcs in the sea."
The Haicheng Market is half on land and half in water, with ports and docks built in the shallow sea area using sturdy giant trees and rocks.
The small city of Haicheng is built on the shore, but its scale is much smaller than Qingshan City, less than one-third the size of Qingshan City's residential area.
But in the design drawings, Haicheng is small but has everything.
Xuan and the flying orc Li were chatting about something, while Meng Yuqing was sitting opposite Po and explaining the layout of the Haicheng market to him.
Po touched the design in front of him, looked at Meng Yuqing and said, "Let's build it according to this. If we build it this way, it will be inconvenient for everyone to transform into beast form, and even if they do, they won't be able to play to their respective strengths."
Meng Yuqing nodded and said, "That's settled then. You guys will be responsible for the construction in the water, and we'll be responsible for the construction on land."
"Right." Meng Yuqing seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Po. "Let's not rush to start construction yet. Call everyone you brought with you to participate in the construction. We need to standardize the units of length and learn some numbers and simple calculation methods. Otherwise, you build yours and we build ours, and then we find that they don't match when we connect them at the end, which will be troublesome. It's a good time to prepare all the construction materials during this period of study. Once we have learned everything, we can start working directly."
"Do you mean you know these symbols?" Po said, pointing to the numbers on the drawing.
"Yes, after you've learned the numbers and the unified units of length, I'll need you to understand the underwater terrain and measure the water depth. I'll then make adjustments based on the actual situation." Meng Yuqing scratched his head and continued, "This is also my first time building something underwater, and I've done some research on the materials needed. But if you have better recommendations or more convenient methods, please feel free to let me know."
"Okay." Po nodded, then asked, "After eating tonight, shall we start studying?"
"Okay, start work earlier and finish it earlier." Meng Yuqing said.
On the other side, Xuan and Li had almost finished their conversation.
The two walked towards this side. Xuan looked at Po and said, "Last year, I wanted to invite you to study at our school in Qingshan City in the winter. However, when I thought about how cold our winter is and how all the water is frozen, I thought it would be a bit troublesome for you to come, so I didn't send you a message."
