"Tsk, I have so many materials I can build."

Qin Xiaochuan pursed his lips and bought all the materials from the trading center and handed them over to him. By the way, he threw out the tools in his backpack.

Buge seemed to have two hands. He dug four and a half meters deep pits on four corners of the open space near the shack, then took out two meters of wood, and chiseled one end with an axe to break through the cross. After making the four pieces, he buried them in the pit one after another, and forked one end upwards.

Then he took out four pieces of wood, splitting them into wedge-shaped two ends, and two of them were chiseled a third of the deep groove with an axe every ten centimeters.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaochuan probably knew that Buge wanted to build a hut with a simple mortise and tenon structure. On a deserted island without iron nails and cement, using the essence of Chinese architecture mortise and tenon structure is indeed a good idea.

After Buge compacted the bottom of the four wood as load-bearing columns, he mounted the four beams on the columns in turn and wedged them, and then tied them at the connection with ropes.

In just two hours, a four-square-meter hut was framed, and Bug put the remaining dozen pieces of wood into the grooves reserved on the beams so that the wood would not slide off.

"Okay, now go and spread the branches on it."

Qin Xiaochuan was not dissatisfied at this moment. Buge's ability to do things is more than a little better than him.

All the branches and coconut leaves that were originally built on the roof were spread, and then Buge used a pick to chop all five parts of stone and pressed them on the branches.

"With such a pressure, the normal strong wind will not blow away the roof." Buge said with satisfaction.

"What should I do on all sides? At least I can block the wind. You are just like wind from all sides."

"Branch walls."

Forehead……

Qin Xiaochuan said awkwardly and politely: "Brother, we are on a deserted island, where are we going to make bricks?"

Buge pointed to the ground and said confidently: "Do it yourself."

Qin Xiaochuan looked at the ground and suddenly realized that the most traditional clay bricks are easy to make.

He hurriedly searched for information about bricks on his watch, but unexpectedly, many of them popped up.

In ancient China, there was a saying of Qin bricks and Han tiles. Clay bricks appeared a long time ago, and they were the simplest sintered bricks.

Buge carried a hoe and walked around the open space for a few times, digging around, and finally found a layer of clay with solid soil and high degree of fineness.

"That's it. I'll make a mold later, use an iron furnace to fire clay bricks, and burn four or five hundred pieces is enough to build a wall."

Clay bricks do not require blueprints, they can be made at will. Buge used wood to chisel a clay brick mold, poured the prepared clay into compaction and then turned it out, and a brick would be fine. The specifications of this clay brick, which is 24 cm long, 11 cm wide and about 5 cm thick, are basically the same as those of modern sintered bricks.

A stone iron smelting furnace can be burned ten pieces at a time, each time for two hours, which is much faster than in reality. However, Buge is obviously not satisfied with the efficiency of the iron smelting. He interlaced a large number of bricks together, and then used the wood given by Qin Xiaochuan to prepare for calcination.

"Can this work?" Qin Xiaochuan expressed doubts.

"I'll know if it's OK. So should you treat me to supper now?" Buge said as he looked at the ground with dried fish.

As Buge was busy building a shelter, the fish and meat strips on the ground were still not enough to be sorted out, so Qin Xiaochuan hurriedly packed up.

The supper was grilled shark meat and coconut milk. After eating, the two of them quietly guarded the burning pile of bricks. Qin Xiaochuan bought all the twenty silver coins left in his hand and placed them next to the hut to pile them into a pile of hills.

Buge sat on a flat stone and kept wiping his dagger. Qin Xiaochuan looked at the crackling fire and burst into tears. He didn't feel anything before, but now a deserted island suddenly appeared. The feeling of loneliness that was isolated from the world suddenly became obvious.

"There are only two hundred bricks here, and the wood is far from enough. There is no wood on this island anymore. I suggest you go to other islands to collect materials tomorrow morning. Today, when I came here, I saw some desert islands nearby, which are not far away."

Qin Xiaochuan knew that there was an island nearby, but the problem was that he didn't have a ship.

"Why don't I get out without a boat?"

Buge shook his head and pointed at his head, saying, "You are so stupid and cute. The boats that the pirates rode on today and my life raft are all on the beach. What other boat do you want?"

"I really forgot this..." Qin Xiaochuan said awkwardly.

Although the woodworking workshop can make canoes, it takes a long time. Now that the pirates have sent the boat, it saves him a lot of trouble.

Qin Xiaochuan immediately stood up and walked towards the manufacturing platform. He had to make enough tools first to prepare for his future overseas trip.

There was nothing wrong all night. When Qin Xiaochuan woke up, he found that Buge was already cleaning up the ashes. Qin Xiaochuan walked over and found that Buge's expression was not relaxed. He looked at the pile of bricks and understood instantly.

I saw that the four piles of bricks collapsed to varying degrees. Some of the bricks had cracked and could not be used, while others had deformed. It was estimated that the two hundred bricks could only be used for only eighty or ninety yuan.

"After all, the conditions are simple, the soil is not good, and the body is not tight. It's good to have these left." Buge clapped his hands.

The clay bricks are rough on the outside, yellowish-brown, and some are blackened by fireworks, but the retaining wall used to make huts is barely enough.

"You go out to sea first. I will stay on the island to build walls with these remaining bricks and make new bricks by the way."

“OK!”

Qin Xiaochuan took a few bites of the remaining shark meat last night and set off. He did not move in the direction Buge informed him, and the island in that direction was farther away.

The pirates' boats are much larger than canoes. They can barely sail near the sea. They are about eight meters long and can sit five people. There are no sails, only oars.

Qin Xiaochuan opened the chart and looked at it. He took a look at an island about three nautical miles and started paddling. Rowing on the sea is no more than in lakes and rivers. The actual situation is much worse than Qin Xiaochuan expected.

Although it was a sunny day with bright sunshine, the wind direction on the sea changed a lot, and his boat was sometimes against the wind and sometimes smooth. Qin Xiaochuan tried hard to control the direction of the bow and walked forward on the sea. It was not until noon that Qin Xiaochuan saw the shadow of the island on the chart.

The island on the chart is not marked with a name, the system shows an unknown island. The island in front of me is several times larger than Qin Xiaochuan's exclusive island, and the key is dozens of meters higher at an altitude. There is a small cliff with lush and lush trees on it.

There was no beach on the shore of Qin Xiaochuan, only messy reefs. In order to prevent the ship from floating away, he rowed the river into a puddle in the middle of the reef.

As soon as he got ashore, Qin Xiaochuan saw spots of light constantly popping out of his watch, green, yellow, and even gold. Although this trip was mainly to plunder wood, since the golden treasure spots were naturally not allowed to be missed.
