Chapter 9 Whale Processing Plants in Ireland (1)
Some of the dimly lit factories are full of messy and collapsed facilities, all kinds of tools for slaughtering and transporting whales are scattered on the floor, and in the center hangs a pair of whale sternums that the factory killed last
Chu Nan watched it with great interest for a long time before he retracted his eyes, after all, he usually can't afford such a scene
Walking cautiously inside, a gust of wind blew Chu Nan looked up and found that the original roof was broken, and there was even more air leaking everywhere around
It seems that this wants to spend the night in the factory will not work, so I can only find another way to see if I can go to the accommodation area or find a sheltered place to sleep at night
Because the oil lamps were lost, it was snowing outside, and it was dark everywhere in the factory, and the sight was very bad
After walking a few steps, I saw a lot of wooden pallets all around, and it seemed that I didn't have to worry about heating for a while, but I just hoped to find a match or something
It took a lot of effort to turn left and right, and finally ran through the entire factory from the door and came to the inside of the first floor of the factory
After coming in, it was finally spacious, and there were rows of machines that Chu Nan couldn't understand on the wall, and there were some wooden pallets that I knew at a glance that they were used to deal with whales, but he didn't know the specific purpose
Obviously, although there are a lot of electric lights in the factory, the lighthouse and the factory are all powered by the same electricity, so they can't be used at all
However, there was a small processing table in the corner inside, which made Chu Nan interested, and walked over to fumble and look
All kinds of small processing tools are placed on it, a plate of iron wire, an iron tong, and a grinder, although there is no electricity but sharpening the knife, but the grinding wheel is removed to make a whetstone
The most important thing is that there is an old vice that can be used, which can help Chu Nan a lot
Otherwise, this room full of things, if you come across a suitable one, you can bend it into what you need by a vice, and if you find a hammer or something, you can make some simple tools
And when I was in my hometown, many small processing factories had this very practical, and I would use this thing myself
It seems that this time I came here to come to the right place, and it really won't work to guard a lighthouse
After a few familiar fiddling sessions, I saw that there was a drawer under the workbench and opened it to find that there was a small axe inside that was completely iron, but the blade of the axe was a little rusty, and the tip of the axe was broken
However, it can still be used as a weapon, so I used the wrench next to it to fix it and used another wrench to remove the grinding wheel of the grinder
Back in the middle of the factory, I took some snow and smeared it on the grinding wheel and began to sharpen the axe
Put the grinding wheel on the workbench and fix it, then press the axe with both hands to start the boring grinding work, take a little snow from the side from time to time and wipe it on it, and then continue to rub
Every time he grinded out a stream of molten iron, he fell away hard, and then raised the axe to see that he was not satisfied and continued to sharpen the axe
It wasn't until 20 minutes later that a not-so-satisfied sentence came from inside the factory
"Hey, that's it."
Chu Nan was sweating profusely and stopped what he was doing, not because the axe was sharpened enough, but because he was hungry and thirsty
Sighing helplessly, looking up at the sky outside gradually darkened, Chu Nan came to the big factory with an axe, and wiped the entire axe with snow in the snow
I wiped my hands clean, and then I took the axe back to the workbench and tied it with the rags and wire I found at the handle of the axe
Carrying an axe in his right hand, he walked towards the stairs on the right side of the workbench, this factory has a second floor, Chu Nan saw it at the beginning, but because of the important things just now, he didn't explore, and now he was a little hungry, so he went to see if there was a place to rest
I can't imagine that most of it is wooden, and this staircase is still metal, I really don't know how they thought about building it like this in the first place
Among the engineers who complained about the whale factory, they came up to the second floor a few steps away
The first thing you see is a rectangular metal table with a few shriveled cans scattered around it, and some pots and pots proving that this is a dining table, but it is a little dirty
After looking for a long time, there was only a can of soda that had not been opened, and I hurriedly opened it and drank half a can directly before I took a long breath of white mist, and the hunger in my stomach calmed down a little
There was a smaller table not far away, which was messy with a lot of things, and Chu Nan, who was hungry in his stomach, put the axe on the table, walked over quickly, rummaged through it a few times, and actually found a bag of beef jerky
Just glanced at something that wasn't expired and hurriedly opened it, biting the stiff jerky and taking a sip of soda from time to time to relieve the dry mouth
After eating half a bag, he stopped moving in his hand, after all, no one knows if there will be other food, and it is good to keep a little
After padding his stomach a little, he breathed a sigh of satisfaction and looked at the two bunk beds in the corner of the room not far away, and walked over
After leaving, I found that although there was some dust, there were pillows, quilts and mattresses, but looking at the broken windows on the right-hand side, and the broken wooden doors leaking everywhere, I couldn't help but have a headache
But it's not without good things, at least having a shaft of mineral water under the bed board at least makes Chu Nan's predicament a little better
Later, Chu Nan actually saw a broken wall-mounted heater, and after tinkering for a long time, he couldn't find where the source of the water pipe was, so he could only scold a few words and give up
As it got dark, I thought I couldn't have fun, so I picked up an axe and destroyed the other bunk bed that I couldn't use, and took out the wooden planks to retrieve the wire on the first floor, and fixed the two large windows on the second floor with wooden boards, at least so that the wind from blowing outside directly here
Then hang the messy useless mattress on the ground one by one at the staircase leading to the first floor to make a cotton curtain
The other bed board was on top of the doorway to the other rooms, and there were two doors in that doorway, one was broken and the other was missing, and the broken one could be used with a few wires, and the missing one could only be covered with a bed board and covered with other mattresses in the corner
Although there are only two bunk beds, there are as many as 6 extra mattresses in the room, but they are also useful, because the second floor is made of wood, so many places have been broken for a long time, and you can jump directly to the first floor in a large place
If you want to make a warm nest, you have to work harder, the mattress blocks the opening of the floor, and then the intact bed is placed on the wall to form a two-sided seal, so that the remaining cushion is used as a curtain to block the back, and the side is fixed with your own upper bed to fix the mattress so that a warm nest surrounded on all sides is formed
patted the soil on the quilt, choked Chu Nan and coughed for a while, but there was no way, all of this was like this, so I could only do it, I felt that there would be sun to bask in the future, it was too humid, and now I can only light a fire and dry it slightly
Later, when he took off the mattress, Chu Nan was surprised to find that there was a box of matches and half a box of cigarettes underneath, it seemed that he was an old smoker who slept here before
Lit the bonfire bucket on the first floor and casually threw the discarded wooden planks next to it
I patted the quilt and mattress I took off, and hung them nearby, and by the way, I washed the basin I found on the second floor with snow, poured two bottles of mineral water, boiled it, and sat on a nearby wooden block to light the first cigarette in my life
"Ahem..."
With the sound of crackling firewood burning, Chu Nan sat lonely in front of the fire while struggling to smoke the cigarette he had not smoked, coughing from time to time because of the pungent smell of smoke
In fact, Chu Nan hated the smell of cigarettes very much, but this time when he got the half box of cigarettes in the long night in another world, he wanted to take a puff and vent
It was as if the irritability in his heart could dissipate with the smoke, but Chu Nan, who couldn't smoke, would only take a big gulp, and soon the smoke would end and throw it into the barrel
"Sure enough, smoking is not for me"
With that, he threw the rest of the cigarette into the fire, and watched the smoke quickly turn into a ball of fire when he saw the smoke inside, and then disappeared inside
So what do you need now, Chu Nan asked himself in his heart, sometimes he understands what he needs, and what he needs to do to save time and complete things as quickly as possible
Chu Nan sat there with the firelight, his eyes became blank, obviously immersed in his inner world
The small sound of the wind outside began to howl at some point, and the snow began to slowly grow stronger and stronger with the wind
The whale processing plant was very helpful to me, and only the axes, grinding wheels, and vices I found were the most useful
Although this residence has been well repaired by itself, it is obviously not a long-term place and you will eventually have to return to the lighthouse, and only if you don't have gas and have thick walls to resist the cold snap can you survive the crisis
And there are still many places that I haven't searched, such as the command platform on the second floor, the accommodation area outside, and the dockyard dock, there will be more or less things waiting for me to get them
But I just don't know if the rampaging bear outside has run away, otherwise I can only wait for death when I go out, looking at my mission panel
Task 1 has been almost halfway through.,Mission 2 is also one-third of the degree.,If you make some weapons here and complete the task directly, and then go back and wait for task one.,But if there's a bear nearby, there won't be a wolf anymore.,Or go to that island.,Just the route you can go back to from there.
Gradually, the fire became much smaller, and the diminution of the bright light woke up Chu Nan, who was in a daze, touched the nearby futon and was a little dry, ready to get up and drink some hot water to rest
But I didn't want to get up and stab, and the pants outside were torn, obviously when I ran away, it was otherwise worn, it was worn out when I was busy, and I wore it for so long before it was bad, and the texture was still good
Looking down at the clothes on his body, the yellow cold-proof coat had a few big holes, revealing the white woolen sweater inside, but because it was dropped by others, some small places were torn and leaked
The pants are blue, and at this time, there is a big hole in the crotch, although it does not affect the movement, but directly expose the wool pants inside yourself and walk in the wind
Although the shoes were worn out hiking shoes, the damp feeling inside must have worn out the soles of my feet, and the snow water was left a little bit along the gaps
If you have time tomorrow, find out if there is a changing room or something, and forget about not wasting torches and matches today
After that, I drank some boiling water, put the rest in a bottle, and then carried a slightly drier mattress and futon to the second floor to rest
