Chapter 159 - a big ornament

Wei Xuan now has a lot of insulation materials in his hands, and he should be able to find more when he wanders around the city in the future. But even so, he had to have a suitable place to store the ice to be collected.

There is a basement in the community, and there will be a full floor under each building. But the area of each basement is not large, because there is only one floor of space, but it needs to be allocated to each household in the whole building, so the area cannot be increased naturally.

What’s even worse is that these basements all have a small part on the ground. On that part of the wall, every room in the basement has a small window like a slit. This alone is a very easy place for ventilation and air leakage in summer. problem lies in.

If it is possible, Wei Xuan really wants to dig a big hole to make a storage room, but how deep should it be? How to ensure the ventilation inside after digging? And how can you ensure that people will not leak it when they step on it?

“Well, if it doesn’t work, we can only use polyurethane foam to block the windows and seal the inside with steel plates to insulate the temperature.” Wei Xuan scratched his hair, thought for a while and decided that it would be easier to transform the basement into an ice cellar, at least He didn’t have to worry about digging a big hole with great difficulty, but in the end the whole hole completely collapsed into a real hole.

Although if the basement is used instead, it would be a waste of steel plates if each room is remodeled separately, but who knows that if all the basements are opened up, it is likely to cause instability and failure of the room?

After studying Wei Weixuan, he found that things were not as simple as he thought at first, so he pondered for a while and decided – wait until he goes out to find some books.

It is true that he has never learned knowledge about architecture, but he can always find some related books in bookstores in the urban area, right? Even if you can’t find it in a small bookstore, there will always be one in a big bookstore, right? Even if there are no big bookstores, at worst, he can go to some universities in city t to look for it – city t is not a small city, there are quite a few universities before the end of the world, and two of them are 211 , 985, there is always a school with related majors.

Considering that he still has time to go to the lunatic’s place in a few days, Wei Xuan decided to take Du Hang to look for a relatively large bookstore at that time, and then think of other methods if he really can’t find it.

Put this matter aside for the time being—the steel plates and the tanks filled with polyurethane foam are placed in the community, and they will not break down for a while, let alone run away. Wei Xuan decided to deal with other things first.

Getting up and going to the living room, followed by the obedient Du Hang, Wei Xuan went to the planter and took a closer look, and couldn’t help showing a gratified smile on his face – some of the grains he had planted before had obviously been completely destroyed. matured.

The growth of mature plants is similar to that before the end of the world. At this time, crops such as rice and peanuts have completely turned golden yellow. Wei Xuan actually obtained a lot of books related to agriculture before. Now, after researching the introduction of these crops, he can confirm that many crops have become very different from before.

Some of the crops that borne on them became significantly smaller in size, some of them became very strange in shape, some of them grew a little bigger, and there were still a few that looked the same as before in terms of size.

But one thing is the biggest difference between these crops and the previous crops – their growing season has obviously become a lot longer than before. Leaving aside those who are not yet mature, at least the harvest period of rice is obviously much slower than before. Wei Xuan remembers that this thing can be planted at least twice a year before the end of the world. If the climate in the south is relatively good and the planting machine is planted at the set temperature, it is reasonable to say that three crops a year are no problem, but now More than half a year has passed, and they have just matured.

“It seems that not all crops have a shorter cycle after the end of the world…” Wei Xuan recalled the days of living in the base in his previous life. If the growth cycle of most crops has become longer, it is no wonder that the base will Vigorously promote potatoes and carrots, two crops that ripen quickly, have large yields, and are not picky about the environment to vigorously promote planting.

Opening the glass door, Wei Xuan picked out the rice, peanuts and other crops that seemed to have matured inside, and then started his experiment.

There is no need to dig a cellar or make an ice cellar, and Wei Xuan is not planning to go out immediately today, so he poured all his enthusiasm into researching these ingredients, and then found out with great regret…he is not sure about the grains he has tampered with, Can peanuts or something replace the staple food, but judging from the finished products he is making now, the taste is really not very good…It is not as good as the potatoes grown at his home.

The bad taste can be tolerated, but what makes him more unbearable is the low yield. He also hand-pollinated these crops very carefully when they bloomed. However, when they bear fruit, there are only a few grains on the branches of these crops, and the taste is very touching.

Turning his eyes back to the planter again, Wei Xuan could only temporarily put his hope on the crops that would never be recognized without the labels on the front – crops with a large number of flower buds such as red beans and sorghum.

Now he can only pin his hopes on them, hoping that at least one or two staple foods will appear, even if their growth cycle is slow, he can wait.

Wei Xuan’s planting business was temporarily slapped by the ruthless reality. After sighing for a while, he temporarily put this matter behind him. After all, he didn’t dare to expect that he would be able to draw conclusions in less than two years from the research results that the large-scale bases in the last three years of the last life hadn’t been able to produce.

So, after resting for two days, Defender Xuan took Du Hang out again. In other words, after resting for two days, Du Hang went out with Wei Xuan in his arms again.

This time their destination was still the shop where they exchanged messages with the two lunatics. They still got up before dawn and went out. , Wei Xuan could tell immediately – those two guys definitely came!

“…Is this a magical thing?” Wei Xuan stopped on the stairs with black hair, and had the urge to turn around and leave, but in the end reason overcame his emotions, and he still endured the thought of turning around and going home immediately and walked up.

There is a very conspicuous thing in the room on the second floor. Conspicuous, that is quite conspicuous! This one thing occupies more than half of the area of this room, can it be inconspicuous!

“Antlers? No, these are much larger than normal antlers, and the shape is different… more like the deer that pulls Santa Claus!” Wei Xuan couldn’t remember the name of the deer for a while, but he still had the same antler for this antler. Relatively familiar.

Such a huge thing is placed in the room like this, one end of which is almost poking out of the window, and the rest are all poking their teeth and claws straight at the ceiling. I really don’t know how those two guys brought it here!

Fortunately, there is only one antler here, and there is no other one, nor a single deer head left here to scare people, otherwise Wei Xuan might not be willing to come in this room in the future.

But only one antler runs almost diagonally across the room. How big is this deer? ?

Taking a deep breath, and carefully avoiding the dangerous objects with branching edges, Wei Xuan came to the place where the diaries were piled up. He immediately grabbed the newly added notebook at the top and read it carefully.

“… They actually said that this thing is a sheep?” Wei Xuan turned his head to look at the antlers that were close at hand and almost poked the tip of his nose, then looked at the diary in his hand, and continued to read with the corners of his mouth twitching.

Throwing aside the messy diary and the emotional exclamations about the zombie wives and sons who are unwilling to take them out of their respective homes for fear of being frightened by the horrible creatures in the outside world, in fact, what those two guys have done recently Quite simple.

To put it simply – they went to the villa base and exchanged some things back smoothly. Of course, there is the energy conversion device mentioned by Wei Xuan and them, and the biggest gain is the original shape of the antler beside Wei Xuan…

Wei Xuan silently looked at the antlers around him again, and then looked at the content written in the diary in his hand. Huo Nu claimed that her son likes to eat mutton, so when he arrived at the villa base, he found that there was such an antler near the base. Sheep” and asked the people there to beat her to death and bring them back.

With a little imagination, Wei Xuan can imagine the expressions on the faces of those people in the base when she told them that she wanted this “sheep”… Well, I can’t blame Wei Xuan for being unkind, after all, he himself The two guys have been dubbed “Potatoes”, and the other party is just being forced to refer to a deer as a sheep. The trauma to their hearts is definitely much smaller than that of themselves back then!

Wei Xuan, who has no **** love, stuffed the diary back into his backpack—there were still a lot of content and some messy plots in it. Wei Xuan said that he would slowly read it as a fantasy novel after taking it back. Only then did I search a little bit, and found those energy conversion devices from the shadow of the antlers.

Originally, these things should be quite conspicuous after those two guys transported away all the equipment they had piled up here before. However, this time there is such a big antler inside, it is naturally impossible for Wei Xuan to go upstairs. Find these things in one go.

Putting these things into the backpacks of the two of them first, Wei Xuan had a headache as to how he could take this huge antler away.

No way, this thing is really too big! Even if Du Hang can carry it, how can he transport this thing back while holding himself and carrying the converter on his back! And even if you get it back, where do you want to put it?

“Can this thing be eaten?” Wei Xuan raised his hand and tapped the corner, the hand was hard, as if hitting a fossil or a bone. Wei Xuan knows that deer antlers can be used as medicine, but the antlers of this deer… have any edible value?

For Wei Xuan now, instead of giving him an antler that he doesn’t know what to do with, those two people might as well cut him a piece of venison!

However, who made her son like sheep? It’s pretty good to be able to land on antlers!

Wei Xuan looked at this huge thing worriedly, and became more determined to go to the bookstore right away—he had to check carefully if there were any books about this thing, and see if it could be eaten! For Wei Xuan now, there are not many things that can improve his quality of life. Only different kinds of food can arouse his greater interest.
