Chapter 467: The Yukon Furnace and the Trench Fire Pit
After lunch, the survivors took a short break and threw themselves into the "big construction" of the villa.
As the so-called high-rise buildings rise from the ground, the survivors of the banquet who have just eaten have put forward a lot of opinions.
Therefore, according to the priority, everyone decided to solve the problem of eating and drinking first, and the power supply and the construction of the stove became their first priority.
Lao Zhao and Bi Dahu were responsible for assembling the power supply equipment as usual, while Lei Tong led several brothers to build the stove.
Considering the possible problems, Lao Zhao specially arranged the power supply room in a wardrobe on the second floor of the villa, where there are no miscellaneous items, which is very suitable for placing generators and on-board battery packs.
In addition, because it is located on the second floor, it is also convenient for survivors to have enough time to transport the power supply equipment to the bus in front of the building in the event of a tight situation.
On the other end, Lei Tong plans to make two things, one is called the "Yukon Stove", and the other is the regular "Trench Fire Pit".
The Yukon Stove may seem like it by its name, but anyone who knows it or has used it knows that it can cook any kind of food, and the only drawback is that it takes a lot of effort to build.
However, the overall structure of this stove can fully dissipate heat, so considering the later life and the subjective experience of the cook, Lei Tong decided to be this "big guy".
Stones, dirt, and villas are ready-made, and after all the staff "pick up and dig", the originally clean courtyard garden has become a pasture spoiled by porcupines.
But about it. Lei Tong and the others did not have the slightest guilt, after all, under the end of the world. Compared to filling the stomach, the useless garden is ruined and destroyed. Unless you're full, no one cares.
After the materials were ready, Lei Tong and his comrades-in-arms immediately picked up the sapper shovel and dug a circular hole in the center of the courtyard first, and then dug a pit of about 24 centimeters on one side leading to the main cave of the "annular hole" of Shicai, and then built stones on the outside of the main cave to build a funnel-shaped cylinder on the top of the tunnel.
It's easy to say, but it's quite complicated to do.
Because you need to first tilt the stone inward, and then open it at the top. This formlessness is a requirement for the shape and structure of the stone.
Therefore, the soldiers had to constantly choose and try, and sometimes they had to de-edge and polish the stones, so you can imagine how complicated the steps in between.
This is also the reason why few people know about this kind of wilderness survival stove.
After the solid foundation of the stones, Lei Tong and the soldiers immediately began to use the soil collected by the right people to stick along the stones.
This process is not troublesome, the main thing to note is that there should be no gaps between the stones, because the only way to completely seal the furnace wall is to seal it up. The fire inside can be well sheltered.
Stick the last handful of dirt to the rock, and the "Yukon" stove is finished.
Looking at the formed furnace, smiles appeared on the faces of the warriors.
This is the essence of the product that they paid for more than half an hour, but as for the practicality. We'll have to wait for Wei Yang's inspection later.
After building the Yukon stove that could be used for cooking, Lei Hitomi immediately began to make the trench stove.
Compared to the Yukon stove, the trench stove was the most used fire method by the warriors in the field.
Pit pit is something to be left out of doubt. The fighters dug a 25cm long and 25cm wide. The square-shaped pit is 25cm high, so it is just enough to hold an ordinary wok.
When it's over, return to the inner pit wall. Then spread the remaining stones into the bottom of the pit, and then only need to raise a fire on the stones to cook and fry them.
In addition, the hot stones after the fire has been extinguished can also be used as a grill for grilling.
It is not difficult to see why the "trench stove" is used so often, because it is so quick to use compared to the Yukon stove, and most importantly, it is extremely time-saving and labor-saving to build, and you do little to do anything other than dig a suitable pit.
Since the "trench stove" is not too complicated, the soldiers simply made two more, after all, Wei Yang alone has to manage the meals of a large family, and it is really a little nervous to rely on a pit alone.
So to eradicate the possible need, the warrior made a slightly smaller stove for daily boiling water.
At this point, the stove construction work mentioned by Wei Yang was completed.
In general, Lei Tong is quite satisfied with his masterpiece, so it is time to accept the results.
However, before that, the collection of wood still needs to be completed, in this regard, Hu Xiaodong volunteered, with Wang Qiang, Wei Dazhuang, Wu Chao, and Hot Spring Xin, and went to pick up firewood.
Considering that it was the first time to go up the mountain, everyone had made complete preparations before leaving, anti-cut clothing, stab-proof sleeves were necessary to wear, weapons and equipment were also to be brought, in addition, wooden axes, chainsaw survivors were all staying on their bodies.
After that, several people walked out of the villa one after another and walked in the direction of the back mountain.
The back hill is not very far from where the villa is located, and perhaps in order to create a back-to-nature atmosphere, the developer did not destroy the woodland too much.
After crossing the road and going straight for about 15 meters on a flowery lawn, the natural mountain forest stood in front of the survivors.
Draw the knife! Spears! None knew what would happen to the forest, and the survivors took out their weapons at the first time.
Hu Xiaodong held a bow and arrow, took the lead in the forest, and after making sure that there was nothing else, he hooked his fingers at his companions behind him, signaling that they could enter.
"Everyone pay attention to the soles of their feet, pick up those fallen dead branches as much as possible, and in addition, stay vigilant, don't leave the team without permission, let's move around the periphery!"
The reason why dead branches are picked up is mainly because the delicate branches still have moisture, which is easy to smoke, and it is not easy to get started.
Dead branches are different, not only are they easy to ignite, but also because of the evaporation of water, the combustion process is more sufficient, thus reducing the possibility of smoking.
After 15 minutes of pick-up, Hu Xiaodong decisively gave the order to return.
It stands to reason that they should chop down some trees and go back, but at this point almost none of the survivors had a large number of branches in their hands.
So for the sake of safety, Hu Xiaodong decided to go back first.
Anyway, the forest is there, and it can't fly with wings.
It is not a good choice to send the firewood back first and try the effect of the stove.
So, a group of 5 survivors, holding a full load of firewood, turned back towards the villa. (To be continued......)
