Chapter 44: The Living Cabin
After Xingyu saw that Mia was fine, he began to prepare to open the container in the middle of the drifting raft. In fact, Xingyu not only wants to know what is in the container, but also wants to convert the container into a living cabin. Xingyu plans to open a hole of the same size as the trolley on the top surface of the container, then cut off the bottom of the trolley, and then install the trolley with a compartment cover at the hole as a hatch.
Xingyu is ready to make a hole at one end of the container, 2 meters away from the side of the container, so that the space inside can be well used. In fact, it is better to make a hole directly on the side of the container, but Xingyu is worried that the hatch is too close to the edge of the container, and it will be dangerous to enter and exit the hatch in the wind and waves. So for safety, I had to pull a distance of 2 meters. Xingyu pushed the trolley at the bottom of the carriage to be cut near the hole to be opened, and then drew a line on the surface of the container according to the size of the carriage. Draw a box that is 4 cm smaller than the carriage. Then Xingyu hit the sea water to fill the carriage. Seeing Xingyu loading seawater, Miya asked puzzledly: "If you want to cut off the bottom of the carriage, why do you still install seawater?" Xingyu explained: "This is preparing to extinguish the fire. The container is very well sealed, and it has not broken and leaked when it hits an iceberg. It is estimated that the contents inside are afraid of water, and usually the things that are afraid of water are also flammable. And seawater is better than clean water to extinguish fires. After saying that, Xingyu lit the torch and began to open the hole. Xingyu guessed correctly, and soon saw smoke coming out of the cut slit. Xingyu dared to ask Miya to pour water into the fire extinguished. Xingyu saw that the items inside were so flammable, so he had to cut the hole and let Miya fill it with water, and he didn't care if the items inside would be damaged by the seawater. Soon after, the hole was opened. After the piece of iron fell, Heungwoo and Mia saw that it was full of pillows. Mia cried out in disappointment: "What a pillow! I thought there would be good things. Even other things are better than pillows! Xingyu said teasingly: "Hey, hey! Oh, yes! If it's a box set, that's even better. ”
"Poof! You think beautifully! Mia glanced at Xingyu. continued: "You are not afraid of Jing dying as much as possible! As soon as she left the house, Mia knew she had said the wrong thing. Sure enough, I heard Xingyu staring at himself with a wicked smile, and said teasingly: "How can I die?" ”
"I hate it!" Mia chased after Xingyu to hide her embarrassment. Xingyu, who was running, suddenly turned around, and Mia, who couldn't stop, threw herself into Xingyu's arms. Xingyu knew that Miya was thin-skinned and didn't dare to go too far. In fact, holding Mia tightly like this, Xingyu was also very satisfied. But Xingyu still couldn't help but kiss Mia.
After the two of them rested for a while, Xingyu walked back to the entrance of the cave and took out a burnt pillow to check. In fact, Xingyu looked at the style of the pillow and knew that this was a pillow that claimed to be able to adjust the spine, and it was filled with high-density memory foam. This time it was Xingyu's turn to be disappointed, if it was a cotton pillow, it could still be used as firewood. Burn sponge barbecue to eat, this is the rhythm of wanting to poison yourself. Xingyu reluctantly threw out all the pillows on the upper floor.
Xingyu then cut the middle of the carriage of the trolley horizontally. The middle cut is because after Xingyu plans to install the hatch, when the compartment cover is fully opened, the top surface of the carriage cover can reach the raft surface. After taking out the car, Xingyu began to modify the car lock. The carriage has a clasp and pull lock, which can be easily modified. Remove the lock on the outside of the carriage and install the lock inside the compartment. The next work will be troublesome. According to the shape of the container surface, Xingyu cut the edge with a lock plier to pull out a 2 cm wide inner edge. This is a delicate job and the most time-consuming, and Xingyu did not complete it until noon the next day. When the inside of the carriage is pulled out, the shape of the bottom of the carriage and the surface of the container match, so that it can be close to the opening. The inside of the carriage is the same size as the opening. After putting the carriage away, Xingyu took out 10 screws and screw caps from the toolbox he had obtained in the yacht before. It was because of this batch of screws that Xingyu dared to make the hatch. There was no hole drilling, so Xingyu had to use a cutting torch to carefully open a hole in the car. Because there are 10 screws, the rectangular compartment has three screw holes on the long side and two screw holes on the short side. A total of 10 holes are opened. Xingyu then cut the sponge in the pillow into 3-centimeter strips, and then put the sponge strips between the carriage and the hole. Only then do you tie the screws. At this time, Miya asked incomprehensibly: "You put a sponge between the carriage and the hole, you should want to be waterproof, right?" But don't sponges absorb water? Xingyu smiled and replied: "Hehe! Sponges absorb water, but burned sponges don't. This will be waterproof. Then Xingyu lit the torch again, but not directly burned the sponge. Rather, it burns under the carriage and around the container surface. Allow the heat transfer from the container surface to melt the sponge, and then use the heat to tighten the screws again. After the completion of this work, the entire hatch is completed. After closing the hatch, Xingyu and Miyati poured water onto the hatch. Test whether the hatch will leak or not be waterproof, especially at the junction between the container and the wagon. Fortunately, there was no leakage, and the hatch was officially completed.
Heung-woo then began to make the staircase. The task is simple, take out four long strips, two of which are sawn into short strips of 60 cm. Then tie the short strips of wood evenly across the middle of the long strips. It only took Xingyu an hour to complete the staircase. At this time, Xingyu was also tired.
The next day, Xingyu and Mia began to sort out the inside of the container. The two of them took apart the pillow and left the cloth cover behind, and threw away the sponge inside. It's a simple job, but it's not easy to remove the pillows in the entire container. It took Heungwoo and Mia a all day to empty the inside of the container. But they left twenty pillows for spare. Xingyu then deflated the spare inflatable boat and then took it into a container to re-pump it. When the inflatable boat is stuffed with pillows, there is a double bed. At this time, Xingyu and Miya felt that there was a feeling of a living cabin inside the container.
