In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.

More than 90% of the plants on the mountain have died from the sun.

Not a single animal was seen, and there were no carcasses either.

Occasionally, when they encounter trees that are still green, the red crabapple will take them in, roots and all.

In just one morning, Hongtang had already collected a small amount of pine wood, unidentified trees, and bamboo.

With the blessing of her wood energy, these plants began to grow freely in the space.

Hongtang eagerly anticipates the future growth of mushrooms and bamboo shoots in her space. She had experienced the joy of mushroom picking once in her childhood and never forgot it.

Although she grows mushrooms such as oyster mushrooms and king oyster mushrooms in her space, it's not the same kind of joy as picking them in the forest.

As for bamboo, it has many uses. Bamboo shoots can be eaten, bamboo can be used to make bowls and chopsticks, and it can also be used to weave baskets, hampers, mats, and for building houses and making charcoal.

Xiao Jian said that all seven brothers could cut down trees and bamboo, so Hong Tang released Qiao Qiao (bridge-building robot), A Qi (crane robot), and Da Lu (paving robot) to work together.

In just one morning, Hongtang and her team had gathered all the necessary timber. The bamboo used for making pipes had all been trimmed, and the timber consisted of both whole logs and pieces split into firewood. Now everything was neatly stacked in the space.

Of course, timber is harvested in a scattered manner in the mountains and forests, otherwise suddenly cutting down an entire mountain would easily arouse suspicion.

When they returned to the Shishan camp, the main structure of the stone house was already completed, and the ventilation system, generator, and garbage disposal system had been installed. The pipes were being filled in.

Hongtang returned just in time. She replaced all the original building material pipes with bamboo with open joints, which saved some materials.

The ventilation and waste disposal systems were also determined, and the locations for landfill or placement were no more than 10 meters apart. This way, when she needs to leave, she can simply place her hand against the wall to reclaim the space.

The generator is housed separately in a stone wall. If the power inside runs out, a small stone door can be opened to add fuel (diesel/other fuel) to the generator or replace it with another generator.

Hongtang: That would definitely be to let Brother Ha stretch out his little paws to "electrify" him.

She originally planned to have three robots build the stone house, but the other four brothers were able to assist, which greatly shortened the construction period.

The following evening, a two-room stone house measuring 7x9 meters was completed.

The outermost part is a thick stone door that can slide left and right. When closed, the stone door blends seamlessly with the original stone wall, with the gaps barely perceptible to the naked eye.

After the stone door slid open to one side, a second door appeared before us.

First, there's a glass and wooden door in the center, with a glass and wooden window at the top. On either side of the door are half-stone walls with glass and wooden windows. The color of the wooden door and windows matches the color of the mountain rocks.

Installing glass doors and windows increases the amount of natural light entering the room when the outer stone door is open. If there is only the first stone door, then no sunlight can reach the interior.

Upon entering, there is a coal stove on the left. This stove is one of three that we obtained from the coal boss who sold coal in Jincheng. It can be used to burn coal when the extreme cold comes, and it can also be used to burn firewood at other times.

When the coal stove is lit, the smoke travels through the floor of the house before being expelled. This keeps the house warm during extremely cold weather. However, it is extremely hot now, so the coal stove cannot be used, otherwise the stone house would be very hot.

Next to the coal stove is the waste disposal system. The above-ground section is a sink with a faucet, specifically for handling kitchen waste. Dishes and cookware can also be washed here, using an external water tank. The tank is one of those 40-liter outdoor water buckets that Hongtang had previously stocked up on; its small capacity requires frequent water changes.

Next to the sink is an outdoor folding storage cabinet, on which are placed stainless steel tableware, pots and pans, a rice cooker, and an electric kettle. At the bottom are outdoor water buckets.

Next to the storage cabinet was a campervan, which contained rice, instant noodles, noodles, dehydrated vegetables, sausages, and other food as daily rations. Of course, Hongtang was just putting them out there for show; she actually ate the delicious dishes she had packed from her own space.

Further inside is the restroom.

The washroom is only two square meters in size and is used to store toiletries and a bathtub. The private space is concealed by a semi-enclosed stone wall, which has niches and recesses.

There is no shower head here, only a sitz bath. However, there is a floor drain, and the wastewater flows into the garbage disposal system.

As for where the sewage and coal stove fumes from the garbage disposal system were discharged, Hongtang had no idea. In any case, she couldn't find any clues within a five-kilometer radius in the days that followed.

However, when the weather gets extremely cold, the waste disposal system may become unusable due to freezing temperatures; we'll see then.

Opposite the washroom is an open-plan bedroom, featuring a stone tatami platform measuring 30 cm high, 180 cm wide, and 200 cm long. Niches have also been made in the walls for storing clothes.

But Hongtang hasn't decided yet whether to put a mattress on the stone kang tatami or just set up a tent.

The living room is right in front of the bedroom. It's empty now, but you could put a bed there and add a curtain in the middle to make it a two-bedroom space.

At the very front of the living room, to the right of the second-floor entrance, is a small balcony, and the ventilation opening for the fresh air system is located on this half-wall.

Also located here is the only electrical outlet in the entire stone house. This is because the generator is installed in this half-wall, which minimizes the wiring distance, and if the generator runs out of power, it can be easily removed or replaced from inside the house.

Hongtang set up outdoor folding tables and chairs and tea-making utensils on the small balcony.

When the first stone door on the outside is opened, sunlight will stream in through the glass window, which sounds quite pleasant.

If it weren't for the apocalypse, this place might be a great camping spot.

There is no toilet inside the stone house. At night, you can use a portable toilet or go directly to the toilet in the space.

My sister said that the space has its own way of handling wastewater and waste generated inside, and it won't pollute the air, land, or energy spring, so she doesn't need to worry. However, non-biodegradable waste can be thrown out.

Hongtang sighed and stuck strong screwdrivers on several walls inside the house to hang camping lights.

Yes, Hongtang didn't install electrical circuits indoors, firstly because it was too complicated, and secondly because she didn't have a deep understanding of them.

The design of the flue pipe for heating from the coal stove was inspired by a time she stayed at a heated kang (a traditional brick bed) in Northeast China.

After the stone house passed inspection, Hongtang put the seven infrastructure robot brothers into the space button to retract them into the space, and also released Ha Ge.

The little guy has been cooped up in the space for many days; he must be getting restless.

"Brother Ha, this is our new home. Do you like it?" Seeing that Brother Ha seemed a little confused by the unfamiliar surroundings, Hongtang patted its fluffy head. She then took out its cat bed, litter box, cat food, and water, and placed them in the living room.

Thinking about the outstanding performance of the infrastructure robots these past two days, Hongtang decided to make more use of them in the future. After all, they cost 1 million, which is quite a lot of money, but they consume a lot of Originium.

So he had his sister order 2000 Originium from Hoss, at 10,000 Plane Coins per Originium, which cost him another 20 million.

After washing up in the space, Hongtang prepared a set of her usual items and clothes, placing them in various places throughout the stone house.

As for what to put on the stone kang tatami mat, Hongtang thought it best to prepare two plans. One was a soft bed that had been laid out, and the other was a tent that had been set up.

Normally, he would set up his bed in the stone house. In case of an emergency, he would immediately replace the bed with a tent.

After several days of hard work, Hongtang was quite tired. The temperature inside the stone house wasn't as hot as outside, but it was still close to 50 degrees Celsius, so the cooling stove still had to be turned on.

Close both the inner and outer doors and windows, get into bed, turn off the lights, and go to sleep.

As for the pile of rubble outside, we'll clean it up tomorrow.
