Chapter 4: Build shelter and solve water resources.
After getting the plastic sheet, Wen Ning immediately closed the private chat channel.
It also stopped Lin Li from looking for information from her.
Time was running out, so Wen Ning had to start making the underground distiller immediately.
Putting the plastic sheet beside him, Wen Ning searched for the right tools on the workbench.
Finally, I made a stone blade and tried to cut the plastic sheet, but because it was not sharp enough, it was difficult to cut through the plastic sheet.
Wen Ning thought about it and made another one. He put the two stone blades into the synthesis system and synthesized a stone blade made of hard granite.
[Stone Blade (Excellent): Durability: 30/30]
[Stone Blade (Excellent): This is a godsend blade, as sharp as an ordinary iron blade. It is an indispensable helper for self-defense. 】
Looking at the stone blade that was obviously much sharper, Wen Ning swung it twice with satisfaction.
With a few swish sounds, Wen Ning cut the 10-square-meter plastic sheet, first cutting out 4 square meters, and then dividing it into 4 pieces of equal size.
Wen Ning thought about it, thinking that the underground distiller would need other materials.
Trading high-quality tools is too eye-catching and too valuable, and not everyone will be able to afford it.
[Whether to synthesize ordinary wood planks*2]
"synthesis."
[Synthesizing, please wait...]
[You got a hardwood board*1]
[You got a hardwood board*1]
.......
Crafted 9 hardwood planks in a row.
Adding the piece tested at the beginning, Wen Ning opened the [Trading Market] and chose to sell.
Ten hardwood boards were hung up.
Below her broccoli avatar, a folded transaction message appeared.
[10 hardwood boards (10 portions) for a wide-mouth container of about 2 liters, preferably glass or plastic, with a straw no less than 50 cm in length. 】
[Hardwood boards are more than twice as strong as ordinary wood boards and can be used to reinforce houses. 】
This information quickly rose to the top after a few seconds of immersion.
[Message: The boss actually has a hardwood board! It looks like an ordinary wooden board. Is it really as magical as you say? 】
[Message: The system will authenticate the name, the product name will not be fake! Also, who says there are no hardwood boards, one popped out when I was making one! After reinforcing the shelter, the solidity value increased by 2 points! 】
[Message: 10 hardwood boards! It can also be traded! Big Boss, please support me! 】
[Message: The above person is shameless. Boss, you must have wasted scraps (ordinary wood boards) when making wood boards. Give them to me~]
【Message: Big Boss.....】
......
Wen Ning has not yet withdrawn from the trading market, so she has seen everyone's messages.
Since she had no shelter for the time being after the shelter collapsed, she didn't know what the solidity value that the survivors talked about meant.
"It seems that I am the only unlucky person."
[Ding, the transaction is successful, you lost 1 hardwood board and gained 1 glass vase]
The first successful transaction sounded 5 minutes after Wen Ning posted the transaction information, and the subsequent transactions were all sold out within one minute.
The transaction was so fast that no one in the chat channel could react before it ended.
Wen Ning was very satisfied.
Ten pieces of hardwood were exchanged for two small plastic buckets, a plastic basin, a glass vase, six long straws, and a glass cup.
The glass was not big, but there was only this last piece of hardwood left, so Wen Ning simply exchanged it.
Very good, these containers have considerable capacity!
Although he didn't know where the other survivors got these things, Wen Ning couldn't care less.
She is really thirsty!
The sun was already overhead, and Wen Ning quickened his pace, first choosing a place slightly inside the grassland where the soil was moist and soft, and where there were no trees blocking the light.
The soil was soft, so Wen Ning just found a wooden stick.
The crafting table does not have the recipe for a stone shovel, and the iron one is locked and cannot be opened.
After working hard for half an hour, they dug four pits in a row, with a diameter of about 80 cm and a depth of 50 cm.
The softness of the soil indicates the abundance of underground water.
Wen Ning's confidence increased greatly.
He dug several deeper pits with smaller diameters in the center and placed the four containers in them.
The reason for choosing to trade these small containers instead of directly crafting barrels.
This is because the wooden barrel provided by the system is of 20 liters, and Wen Ning’s underground water extraction device is compact, so it would be difficult to evaporate the water if the space is large.
And she didn't have enough plastic sheeting.
Seal the edges tightly with soil, then take out the plastic straw, tie a loose knot, and place the bottom end into the bottom of the container.
Then cover the big pit with plastic sheeting, cover the edge of the plastic sheeting with soil, and secure the plastic sheeting.
The straw knot is leaking at the edge and the surrounding area is sealed with soil to prevent insects from crawling in.
Finally, select small stones and place them above the mouth of the container, so that the middle of the plastic sheet droops, forming an arc through which water can flow.
In this way, a simple underground distiller is ready.
Wen Ning repeated the same procedure for four more. When he was done, he looked up at the sun above his head. His survival watch showed that it was already 1:30 in the afternoon and a lot of water in the soil had evaporated.
After several hours of hard labor, Wen Ning's mouth was already dry. Pursing his lips, Wen Ning patted the soil around him to make it firmer.
She only hoped that the water collected here in the evening would replenish the water she had lost during the day.
Wen Ning did not dare to rest for the rest of the time. Although she was very tired, she still had to complete the construction of the shelter before the sun went down.
She did not forget the system's reminder of the snowstorm a week later.
If the disaster comes gradually, there is a high probability that the temperature difference between morning and evening will be particularly large.
Thus, another excellent stone axe was synthesized, and Wen Ning began the construction mode.
[Whether to synthesize ordinary wood planks*2]
[You got a hardwood board*1]
[You got a hardwood board*1]
.......
Two hours later, Wen Ning was chopping trees while synthesizing, and finally synthesized 198 hardwood boards for two backpacks.
Thanks to the excellent stone axe, it can get twice the result with half the effort. If it were an ordinary stone axe, this workload would probably take an entire afternoon.
There are 50 pieces of wood and 34 pieces of ordinary planks left in the backpack.
Strike while the iron is hot, Wen Ning opens the [Manufacturing Table].
Found columns, beams, walls, door frames, doors, ceilings and wooden floors made of hardwood boards.
Let’s deal with the wooden floor first. If there are no partitions, it will be troublesome if there are bugs.
Many mosquitoes in the mountains are very poisonous.
Wen Ning made a hardwood floor and laid it out, and soon a dark brown foundation of one square meter appeared on the ground.
"One hardwood floor requires 4 hardwood planks..."
Wen Ning counted his hardwood boards and chose to build a shelter of 12 square meters.
The foundation and ceiling required 96 hardwood planks.
The walls and doors took a total of 90 pieces.
Wen Ning looked at the appearance and it looked like a matchbox.
A chimney exit is reserved next to the door, which is very convenient.
So I simply made a roof with only a ceiling and no slope.
Wen Ning then opened the door and walked in. The room was empty and a little dark.
Wen Ning left the door open, letting in some light, and then began to look around the entire shelter.
The joints between the hardwood boards fit tightly together, and the smooth feel looks as if they were painted with a layer of wood varnish.
There is also a fresh scent of wood at the tip of the nose.
It’s just that the light is too dim, and without glass, Wen Ning doesn’t dare to leave a window.
Looking at this floor, it's definitely not realistic to make a fire.
Just as Wen Ning was deep in thought, a system prompt sounded.
[It is detected that the player is in a completely ownerless building. Do you want to rebind the shelter? 】
Rebind?
Of course, the thatched hut that has flown away will never come back.
Wen Ning immediately chose to bind, and after a short wait.
[Binding successful, shelter information is as follows]
[Shelter: A human-made building with a considerable safety factor. It is simple to build and even a novice can get started. 】
[Completeness: 96 (Chimney Gap)]
[Strength value: 60]
[Beauty level: 20]
【Facilities: 0】
[Newbie Tips: The shelter is a safe house in the wasteland that can resist natural disasters and attacks from wild beasts. So, protect your shelter and find ways to build a stronger shelter. Remember, when night falls, do not leave your shelter easily. 】
"What's in the night?"
Wen Ning, who had a strong sense of crisis, grasped the last sentence at the first moment. She could not leave her shelter at night, and she only knew this information after entering the shelter.
Wen Ning was extremely grateful at this moment that she had chosen to build a shelter, otherwise when night fell, she didn't know what dangers were waiting for her.
There are many people on the world channel whose shelters collapsed or were destroyed at the beginning like her, so they may not receive this message.
But Wen Ning won't meddle in other people's business.
Everyone has his own destiny.
Wen Ning walked out of the house, holding the stone blade in his hand. A sturdy wooden hut appeared at the junction of the grove and sparse grassland, which looked very safe.
Wen Ning touched his rumbling stomach. The sun was already setting, so he decided to go see how much water the distiller had collected.
A person can live for a week without food, but only three days without water.
Wen Ning came to the distiller and carefully lifted a corner.
At the bottom of the bucket was clear water that looked to be about a finger's depth.
[If you find clean drinkable water, do you collect it?]
“Can it be collected directly?”
Wen Ning immediately chose to collect, and then the system prompt sounded.
[In the absence of containers, it is recommended to use wooden barrels. 】
All the containers that Wen Ning had traded for were placed in the pit, and there were indeed no containers left.
Wen Ning quickly synthesized a wooden barrel. She had just heard the system prompt.
This water can be drunk directly!
Just as Wen Ning was collecting water, a sound of breaking air was heard behind him!
call out!
