Chapter 370: Building a Earthen Kang (4)
"Xia Xia, you just said that this needs a vent, but our cave is surrounded by earth walls. There's a sleeping area inside, and there's a mountain beyond that. How do we dig it?"
Someone first raised doubts about the layout of the cave, which was within Xia Tian's expectations.
"So... this is why I want everyone to renovate the cave together." Only then did she reveal her true "purpose".
In fact, when she first started building the cave, she thought Si Ye had sufficient experience and there would definitely be no problems in this regard.
In addition, she was going through the most painful menstrual period at that time, so she didn't consider the layout of the cave at all. It was not until it was finally completed that she found out that it was not suitable.
In fact, according to Si Ye's experience, considering the need to survive the cold season, the cave must be dug as deep as possible and the entrance as narrow as possible, so as to keep warm to the greatest extent.
But now, if we want to build a kang, we must have a ventilation duct connected to the outside, and a cave with such a layout is definitely not suitable.
If there is no air vent, there will be no question of whether you can keep warm or not. Once the door is closed, people will suffocate to death inside, and nothing will be left except a complete corpse.
Therefore, if you want to build a kang, it must be placed close to the mountain wall, and the layout of the cave needs to be adjusted. This is not a small project.
"Are you saying that in order to build this kang, we need to re-arrange the layout of the cave? But the area near the cave entrance will be very cold in the cold season. Is there any other solution?"
Si Ye also stood up and spoke at this time.
The layout of the cave where he and Xia Tian live now is the same as others, with a narrow entrance but spacious inside.
Since this heating tool is going to be built in the cave in the future, in addition to the adjustments that need to be made to the cave that has just been dug, their cave also needs to be renovated.
"That's right. If we want to ensure the reasonable and safe use of this earthen kang, then we must do this." Xia Tian's tone was firm.
In terms of engineering construction, she knew that she was not as good as Si Ye and these orcs, so all she had to do was to give them reminders in these key areas and leave the rest to them.
If the framework is too rigid, it is actually redundant.
"No matter how much I talk, it's all just theory. I know everyone has strong hands-on skills, so the next step is for everyone to complete it on their own."
After Xia Tian completed the "teaching" part, she would leave time for everyone to practice on their own.
Afterwards, she and Si Ye went home together.
"Is this what the cave renovation entails?" Si Ye thought it was over, surprised it was so simple. "So you're saying that renovation means building... a brick bed in the cave?"
"Ah, that's not the case." Xia Tian shook her head. "Actually, there's a lot of content, but this is the most important part right now, so I'll just talk about it first and give everyone more time... Of course, I have many other plans, but they're not necessary. If you're interested, we can discuss them together when we have time. I actually have a lot of ideas... Haha, I actually want to try them out at home."
Seeing that she wasn't in the mood, Si Ye asked, "What ideas do you have for experiments? Tell me, and I'll help you complete them."
"Ah?" Xia Tian paused. "My idea... do you support it?"
