Chapter 342: Can't Collapse
The snowstorm on the grassland swept across completely in the middle of the night.
The howling wind sounded like the cry of a ghost. The moment Silk heard the sound, his heart skipped a beat in his sleep. He was completely awakened.
As a race that has lived on the grassland for many years, such movements are not common, but every time they occur, they will cause them huge losses and leave an extremely deep impression! At this time, the door of Silk's ward was pushed open, and a medical staff member leaned half of his body in from outside the door.
Silk subconsciously prepared to stand up.
The medical staff frowned when he saw this.
"Just lie down, what are you getting up for?"
They were really annoyed by Silk, who added to their workload every now and then.
Hearing this, Silk was stunned.
"Shouldn't we transfer?"
"Transfer what?"
"There should be a blizzard outside..."
After hearing this, the medical staff roughly understood what Silk meant.
"Don't worry, this house won't collapse. Just lie here quietly and have a good sleep. I just came here to check the situation."
As the medical staff spoke, they checked the heater and temperature in the room. After confirming that there were no problems, they closed the door and left.
Only Silk, who was a little disheveled, was left sitting on the bed, listening to the humming sound that kept drilling into his ears, trying to decide whether to sleep or not.
In other words, it was no longer a question of whether he wanted to sleep or not, but whether he could sleep.
In the midst of this blizzard, Silk was afraid that the house would collapse and bury him alive.
If he was awake, he might still have time to react. But if he fell asleep and the house collapsed, would he still be able to escape? In this state, half a night passed quietly.
After that, Silk hardly slept a wink. The next morning, when the medical staff came to check on him, they were stunned when they saw his bloodshot eyes.
"Wow! Didn't you sleep last night?"
There is a hint of gloating in these words.
This guy Silk has caused them so much trouble, and he is quite happy to see him suffer without increasing their workload.
Seeing the medical staff coming in, Silk, who hadn't slept all night, was in a trance at the moment. He couldn't hear the gloating in his words, so he just wanted to ask...
"You said last night that this house couldn't collapse. Why can't it collapse?"
As it stands now, it will be difficult for him to sleep peacefully unless this problem is figured out.
Faced with his question, the medical staff couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"I'm not from the construction team, how would I know why this house can't collapse? It just can't collapse!"
What the medical staff said was not a lie, he really didn't understand this.
In fact, the answer is that last year, considering the construction efficiency and labor issues, they only used mortise and tenon structure to make the frame of the house, and the rest of the parts were simply fixed on.
But after the roof was blown off and even collapsed in a winter snowstorm, their leader decided that all important buildings in the grassland village, from the frame to the roof, should be connected with mortise and tenon joints.
With the entire house structure held together by mortise and tenon joints, it would not be easy to collapse it unless a snowstorm blew the entire house away.
The cost of doing so is that it takes a lot of time and energy. In order to complete the project as soon as possible, we even borrowed manpower from the Equipment Department to help them polish the mortise and tenon structure.
As for why not all the houses in the entire village have been fully upgraded?
The reason is simple: time and conditions do not allow it.
If he does this, will Huangshan Village still need to be relocated? Will Tieshan Village still need to be built?
The Construction Engineering Department can be said to be one of the busiest departments under Zhou Xu at the moment, and their tasks must be properly arranged.
Put the breakfast on the table beside you.
"I'll collect the plates later."
After saying that, the medical staff turned and left again.
The medical department is currently understaffed, and medical staff like him have to take care of several injured patients at the same time, and have no time to stay with one patient for long.
The smell of food made Silk put the question aside for the time being.
Putting aside other things, the food in Caoyuan Village can be said to have completely exceeded his expectations.
Looking at this era, the daily meals of the grassland elves are definitely not bad, but their cooking methods are still very monotonous.
Anyway, it's just grilling or boiling, and there's no seasoning.
Mutton is delicious, but without any seasoning, you will get tired of it after eating it for a while.
But Zhou Xu and his friends are different. Not only do they have seasonings, but they also have more diverse cooking methods.
Their kitchen has basically mastered all the cooking techniques such as steaming, frying, boiling and stir-frying. Even if it is the same ingredient, they will change the way it is cooked every day and you will be able to taste different flavors.
Delicious food can help relieve and even adjust your emotions.
During the meal, Silk's mental state obviously relaxed.
After breakfast, doctors from the medical department will come over to check his injuries. If there is no problem, the medical staff will then give him medicine.
After applying the morning medicine and before applying the evening medicine, the only thing he had to do as a wounded patient was to lie down and rest.
As he hadn’t slept well last night, he closed his eyes and slept until dark.
He was not woken up until the medical staff came to call him for dinner.
At night, when Silk couldn't fall asleep due to oversleeping during the day, he began to think about the house again.
When he first came to the grassland village and when he left before, Silk actually looked around the village.
Although the population does not seem to be as large as their village, the scale is larger than their village. The buildings in the village look like the kind of architecture that only appeared before the destruction of the last civilization.
But Silk didn't think too much about it until he experienced it firsthand...
From midnight yesterday until now, the "humming" sound caused by the strong wind outside the house has almost never stopped. He can even feel that the house has been shaking slightly, making a "creaking" sound.
Other than that, there is no other impact.
The wind was blowing and the house was shaking, but it didn't collapse.
Judging from the level of construction and some of the manufacturing technology alone, Silk had to admit that the "Great Zhou" headed by Zhou Xu was completely superior to them.
Even now, thinking about what Ye Jinghong had said to him casually before, Silk couldn't help but make a bold guess in his heart.
"Could it be that this 'Great Zhou' has two villages?"
