I Have a System of Orcs - chapter 53
It was already dark when Wei Changcheng and his group had a lively discussion about the method of the kang.
Wei Changcheng said that his mouth was dry, and the others were still full of ideas. New things always attract more people’s attention, not to mention that the people present are the first batch of people involved in this matter.
According to the method given by Xiaoke, the materials of the earth kang are roughly the same as those of the earth house. The only material that is more troublesome is an animal called the golden-eyed blood crocodile. This animal lives in the swamp deep in the forest. It is brown, but has golden eyes. It moves slowly, but it has strong defense and aggressiveness. As a carnivorous animal, basically the prey bitten by the golden-eyed blood crocodile cannot escape.
According to Xiao Ke, after hunting this animal, the body of the golden-eyed blood crocodile is chopped into pieces, and evenly stirred in cement to make an earth kang. The earth kang made in this way is warm in winter and cool in summer, and there is no need to burn fire at all. , Even summer straw mats and bamboo mats are saved.
Wei Changcheng was naturally surprised that such an animal existed, and at the same time was very moved. It’s warm in winter and cool in summer, how wonderful it is. There is no need to burn a fire in winter, and it can relieve the heat in summer. It is simply the best thing to make an earth kang, but the broken corpse is more disgusting.
Allen thought more than Wei Changcheng, and it was reasonable. Dismemberment or something is not a big problem, the big problem is who is going to catch this golden-eyed blood crocodile?
Females don’t have to think about it at all. The patrol team is responsible for the safety of the entire tribe and cannot move. The hunting team is responsible for the food of the entire tribe, let alone catch the golden-eyed blood crocodile. If the golden-eyed blood crocodile caught can be eaten, no matter how bad it is It doesn’t matter, but the key is that the captured golden-eyed blood crocodile will be used to make earth kang, so it can’t be eaten, so the hunting team can’t move. The 250 crocodiles that Jeffrey allocated to Wei Changcheng Among the males, there are those who want to stay in the tribe to protect the females. Even if these 250 males can move, they can’t move at all. Only a small part of the males can catch the golden-eyed blood crocodile. The golden-eyed blood crocodile lives in the depths of the forest, where not only the golden-eyed blood crocodile is a ferocious beast, but a few males are very dangerous.
The matter about the golden-eyed blood crocodile was deadlocked. Although Wei Changcheng longed for an earth kang that was warm in winter and cool in summer, he was also concerned about the safety of the males. If the golden-eyed blood crocodile was bought with the lives of the males of the tribe, Wei Changcheng didn’t want it either. As for Allen, on the one hand, he also yearns for the so-called kang, and on the other hand, he doesn’t want the males in the tribe to take risks.
In the end, Daniel said, wait until the patriarch comes back and let the patriarch decide. Then a few people suddenly realized, yes, this kind of thing should be left to the patriarch to have a headache, what they have to do is to do their best to build the earthen house.
Things were quickly resolved with Jeffrey. Jeffrey decided to take half a day to catch the golden-eyed blood crocodile and send it back to the tribe, and then go hunting, and the hunting time was delayed accordingly. The reason for catching the golden-eyed blood crocodile first is because the forest at night is more dangerous than during the day, and it is always safer to catch it in a familiar place at night.
After the males sent back the golden-eyed blood crocodile, Wei Changcheng led the females to build the kang. Since there was no need for a fire, Wei Changcheng did not leave a passage for the fire, and started directly in the single room that the orcs had built. Get the soil kang. The degree of difficulty of an earthen kang was a bit beyond Wei Changcheng’s imagination. After the first earthen kang was completed, the orcs who built the house over there had already built two more single rooms.
The soil kang quickly played its role. As Xiao Ke said, it is really warm in winter and cool in summer! It’s Yanyue, it’s very hot outside, and Wei Changcheng is lying on the kang, but feels cold under his body, it seems that this golden-eyed blood crocodile is really a treasure. Allen experienced the coolness of the kang for himself, and began to look forward to the warmth of Xueyue on the kang.
The orcs who stayed in the tribe couldn’t sit still. The males and females are the main force in building houses and making soil kangs. The old orcs prepare cool mint water and lunch for the busy orcs, and the little orcs who can’t sit still are responsible for serving tea and water to the orcs. The whole tribe presents a A thriving scene. Compared with the former eastern tribe, which was lively only when distributing food, and silent and depressed at other times, the current tribe seemed to be alive.
Daniel stood behind Wei Changcheng and looked at the busy tribe, and said in a low voice, “I like this kind of tribe.”
Wei Changcheng squinted his eyes halfway, thinking of the former Karu tribe, remembering the estrangement in his previous life, and said with a smile: “I like it too.”
The work on the house and the kang is proceeding in an orderly manner, the doors and windows made of wood are also coming to an end, and the paper is left to be installed. What worries Wei Changcheng now is the problem of glass. The windows couldn’t really be covered with animal skins, wouldn’t it make the room very dark? After all, there is no lighting equipment in the tribe now. Of course, Daniel and the others couldn’t understand this. It doesn’t matter whether the windows exist or not for the orcs, after all, there are no windows in the cave! Dim light? Oh, no problem, I go to bed every day when it gets dark, and I don’t feel the light is dark at all.
But Wei Changcheng is used to the window is different! It’s fine to live in a cave, but now you can live in a house, but it’s still a house without windows? No! Wei Changcheng said that he firmly does not accept a house without windows, and not only cannot accept a house without windows, but also must have equipment that can emit light!
It’s a pity that Xiao Ke refused to provide Wei Changcheng with any information about glass this time. The answer Wei Changcheng got from Xiao Ke was always that there was no way to make glass or that there was nothing that could replace glass. Cheng is seriously suspicious that Xiao Ke himself doesn’t even know!
But soon, Wei Changcheng once again thanked the little orcs.
The last time Wei Changcheng learned the secret of the space stone was a little male who helped him know, but this time I have to thank them, and it also made Wei Changcheng often hang out with little orcs in the future, hoping to learn about other people from the little orcs. Wei Changcheng was satisfied until all the use value of the little orc was squeezed out. Of course, this is all later.
The games of the little orcs are always poor. There is no building block swing or playground. The orcs are very busy every day, and the little orcs can only pass the time by themselves. The little males often wrestle together to practice their hunting skills and their own strength, and the little females often chat and gossip together, but they can’t stand this year after year, so when they get tired of playing occasionally, the little orcs will also Access to something with the permission of the orcs in the tribe.
Like saliva bugs.
Saliva bugs come in many colors, white is the most common, followed by green and blue, and pink and purple. The total length is about 20 cm. They are non-toxic and harmless, sex-loving, but easily angry. The reason why it is called saliva bug is because if you poke it with a small stick, it will get angry and spit “saliva” at you. Well, of course it is not real saliva, but their own means of protection. The mucus spit out from the mouth of the saliva bug sticks to the opponent’s body or the ground, and it will stick to the opponent. When the mucus dries up, the mucus will become very hard and difficult to break. This kind of saliva worm only appeared in Yanyue, and whenever it was Yanyue, the little orcs especially liked to play with these very common saliva worms. And because of their height, most of the slobber’s mucus was spit on the ground.
Wei Changcheng discovered that the little orcs were playing with saliva bugs when he was having a headache because of the glass.
Wei Changcheng found that the mucus spit out by the saliva worms was related to their own color. If the saliva worms were blue, the mucus they spit out would be blue transparent mucus. When they dried up, Wei Changcheng was surprised to find that this The thing is very hard, but it’s easy to tear off. Wei Changcheng stretched out the thin blue thing and poked it vigorously, but it still didn’t break!
Wei Changcheng jumped up all of a sudden, grabbed the little male next to him and asked him what he was doing, and kissed him hard, haha, Wei Changcheng knows how to make windows!
Wei Changcheng took a window frame, gestured and scratched it, then found wood and arranged it to look like a window frame, grabbed a saliva bug and threw it in, and asked a little orc to poke the slobber bug with a stick, He took another small stick and spread the mucus spit out by the saliva bug evenly on the frame of the window. When it was thick enough and even, Wei Changcheng stopped and threw the saliva bug out. After some tinkering in the frame, he put down the stick in his hand with satisfaction. Turning his head to look at the saliva worm thrown out by himself, this guy has not changed much except that he is not in good spirits and his body has lost weight. Wei Changcheng can’t help but sigh that this saliva worm is still very good. One piece of the window is the window of a single room. I made it so big because I was afraid of trouble. I was worried that the mucus of a slobber worm would not be enough. I didn’t expect that the saliva worm would be fine after finishing a window, so Wei Chang I decided to squeeze the saliva bug intentionally and with peace of mind.
The weather was very hot, and the slime of the saliva worm dried quickly. Even though the layer of slime was very thick, Wei Changcheng got a piece of “glass” of the Orc Continent which was not satisfactory after a short time.
It’s very hard, Wei Changcheng has tested it. The light transmission is not the best, but it is definitely enough. Full of excitement, Wei Changcheng removed the frame around the “glass”, picked up the “glass”, and full of excitement, embedded the “glass” he made on the real window frame beside him, and then used latex to glue the “glass” to the window frame. “Glass” and the wooden frame are tightly glued together. This time, we picked them up and looked at them. Wei Changcheng was even more excited. He finally made the “glass”!
Later, Wei Changcheng called this kind of thing “glass”, but the more widely known name on the orc planet is “saliva window”, and the saliva window has become the originator of the glass window on the orc planet.
Wei Changcheng walked back to the house quickly, called Daniel, and with Daniel’s help, he successfully installed the window on the earthen house. He took a few steps back, and there was no problem at all, and he ran into the earthen house again, and it was still all right. .
“Daniel, how about the hardness of the window?” Wei Changcheng shouted in the room.
Daniel shook his head suspiciously, indicating that he couldn’t hear what Wei Changcheng was saying. Wei Changcheng was overjoyed, he didn’t expect the sound insulation of the windows and the earth house to be good! Wei Changcheng ran outside and said what he had just said to Daniel again. Daniel nodded and hit the spit window with his fist, but the spit window was unscathed.
Daniel was amazed, knowing that his fist had exerted five points of strength, which was equivalent to the strength of a normal male, so Wei Changcheng was even more satisfied.
