A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

The next afternoon, Lang Zhan and his companions brought the dug stones back to the tribe. When Su Ling went to see them, they found that they were indeed limestone. The stone was grayish white and of very high purity.

Hu Yi looked at Su Ling's surprised expression and confirmed that this was the stone she wanted, "This is the stone you want."

"Yes, this is limestone. We will mix this limestone powder with clay to make cement later."

When they heard that this was the kind of stone they wanted, the people who were transporting the stones felt relieved. They were just worried that the stones they brought back from so far away would be useless. It wasn't that they were too tired, but they were afraid of delaying things.

"Are these enough? If not, I will go back and move more. There is not much else there except for these stones." Lang Zhan said, scratching his head.

Su Ling looked at the square and saw that there were at least several thousand kilograms of limestone. There were only five or six people moving the stones. She was really impressed that they could bring back so much. She said hurriedly, "Don't worry now. You have worked hard. These are enough for now. You just returned to the tribe. Go and rest first. I will find you later if I need you."

Lang Zhan looked at Hu Yi and saw that Hu Yi nodded, "Okay, then call me if you need me later."

After getting a positive answer, he went back to rest with the others. More than ten days had passed from going hunting to transporting stones back to the tribe. It was indeed very tiring.

"What should we do with these stones now?" Hu Yi looked at Su Ling and asked.

"The limestone nowadays is too big and needs to be broken into small pieces. Then it needs to be mixed with clay of the same weight and put into a kiln for calcination. After cooling, it becomes cement."

Cement is one of the most widely used materials in Bluestar construction. It has excellent fire resistance, wear resistance and compressive strength, and plays an important role in construction projects.

In ancient times on Blue Star, people also used cement to build many magnificent buildings and wonderful works of art. There are many different production processes and formulas for ancient cement. What Su Ling is going to make now is a simple method of making ancient cement.

Hu Yi heard Su Ling say that the stone needed to be broken, and nodded, "I can call someone to do this, and then bring it to the kiln after it is broken."

"Thank you for your hard work. I will teach you how to make bricks and tiles, which are necessary materials for building a house."

"Okay, then when do you want to go?" Hu Yi asked.

Su Ling thought that it was still early today, so she said, “Let’s go now. The pottery is no longer being fired. The tribesmen in the pottery group have been stepping on the mud these days, so the viscosity should be good enough.

At noon, Hu Luo came to tell me that the molds for making bricks and tiles had been made and sent to the kiln.

I think the pottery group has already started making bricks and tiles. Please take me to the kiln and I will go and take a look."

The tribesmen are now very skilled in pottery firing techniques, and firing simpler bricks and tiles is of course easy for them, and it is only a matter of time.

Su Ling preferred the large blue brick and tile houses built by ancient people, so she asked her clansmen to make blue bricks.

It is not difficult to fire bricks and tiles, it just takes a long time. A lot of pottery has been fired during this period, and it would be useless to fire more, so everyone stopped and started firing bricks and tiles.

Hu Yi nodded and said, "Okay, wait for me here. I will arrange for the tribesmen to take the limestone down and crush it, and then I will send you there."

Su Ling nodded, and Hu Yi went to the side to give instructions. He came back after a while without saying anything else. He transformed into a beast form, let Su Ling climb on his back, and ran towards the kiln with everyone.

For the next few days, Su Ling stayed at the kiln, making bricks and tiles with everyone in the pottery group.

Hu Yi would first send Su Ling to the place every day, and then go back to crush limestone with his tribesmen. Although the orcs were very strong, crushing stone was also very tiring. Su Ling could see Hu Yi's hands were red after work every day.

Because the Beast World does not have as many machines as the Blue Star. On the Blue Star, they can use crushers to break stones, but here, the orcs can only rely on their own strength.

Su Ling saw it and felt sad, so she gave him hot compress when she returned to the cave.

"It's okay, these are just small things. You don't need to apply any compress and it will be healed by tomorrow morning." Hu Yi looked at the person with a distressed face and comforted him.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Su Ling glared at him, and Hu Yi could only shut up in disappointment.

"Do you think I'm too willful? I just want to live in the house and make everyone suffer." Su Ling said dejectedly.

Hearing this, Hu Yi frowned, and took the person who was still applying hot compress to sit on his lap, looking at Su Ling seriously, "I emphasize again, you are not willful, you are gentler and kinder than anyone else, I wish you could make some willful demands on me, but you didn't.

What you asked the tribe to do that time was not for the better of the tribe. Not only me, but everyone in the tribe hopes that you can make more requests, because these requests can make the tribe develop better and make the people live more stable.

So don't say that, and don't think that way. Whether it's me or my tribesmen, we are willing to do anything for you. We are willing to complete any request you make, understand?"

After hearing Hu Yi's words, Su Ling also felt that she had misunderstood. Hu Yi was so tired every day, and he still had to comfort her. Just thinking about it made her feel that she was being pretentious. She buried her face in Hu Yi's neck awkwardly and hummed softly.

Looking at the head buried in his neck, with the red tips of the ears showing through the hair, Hu Yi smiled helplessly.

There was a cracking sound coming from the stove, the sound of something cracking.

Su Ling then remembered that there was a clay pot boiling water on the stove. She hurriedly got off Tiger Wing's legs, came to the stove, and saw the cracked clay pot.

The pottery broke into several pieces, and only one piece remained on the stove, while the others fell into the stove.

Su Ling looked at it, and thought of something. She wanted to reach out to take the pottery shards that fell on the stove. Hu Yi immediately grabbed her hand, frowned and said, "Be careful of the heat."

Su Ling finally reacted and felt guilty for a second, then turned back and said to Hu Yi with joy, "I know how to make the stone easier to break."

Seeing the person who just looked lost now cheering up, Hu Yi raised his eyebrows, pinched her smiling face, and asked in a low voice, "What did you think of?"

Su Ling explained the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to Hu Yi.

Hu Yi listened to Su Ling's words with a gentle expression, and then he said, "Tomorrow I will tell the tribesmen to try this method.

Well, now that I have thought of a solution, I don’t need to think about it anymore. I will be busy tomorrow, so I should go back and rest early.”

"Yeah." Since there was a solution, Su Ling certainly had no problem and followed Hu Yi back to the cave to rest.
