In fact, when Qin Lei first started building this homestead, it was quite simple. Although it was a slope, it was not difficult to level it. He manually cleaned the gravel on it and paved the floor with red bricks, because there was a lot of gravel underground and didn't even need to be compacted. He could just level it with cement.

Anyway, this type of building materials is not easy for others to do, and you can get as much as you want.

However, after these days of random thoughts that I couldn't sleep, Qin Lei had a brand new plan for his new home. From the initial red brick and tile house, it had been upgraded to the level of a second-story villa. Last night, Qin Lei had the idea of ​​digging out several basements.

That's right, since the overall area cannot be increased and the cover is too high and will attract attention, isn't it enough to just dig a basement?

Of course, it is not possible to be done by manual excavation on such a ground, but Qin Lei has also seriously considered this. He is planning to use an excavator to excavate the basement!

This idea was carefully considered by Qin Lei. The only problem was that the excavator was loud and easily exposed.

However, Qin Lei has tried that ordinary excavators are not particularly loud when working. The loudest noise is actually when driving. Qin Lei does not need the excavator to move, nor does he even need to deal with the excavated earthwork. He directly transmits all the excavated earth and rocks to 22 years of time and space. All problems are solved.

After that, when I was watering with concrete, as long as I was fast enough, I would probably be able to complete it in ten or eight minutes. Even if someone heard some noise and even rushed over here, as long as I hid it in time, they would not find anything.

Thinking of this, Qin Lei no longer hesitated and started working immediately.

Just in case, Qin Lei’s first thing he had to do was not to dig a hole by digging an excavator, but to get a few wireless cameras first and arrange them on the necessary road to his side just in case.

After that, Qin Lei traveled through time and space to 22 years and made careful plans, and even went to several design companies here.

Although there is no other life in this world, let alone designers, many house design drawings and manuscripts were left in those companies.

Qin Lei can't understand the things that are too high-end, but some of the stylings can be learned from.

At first, Qin Lei was preparing to dig a basement of about 100 square meters, because the area of ​​the house he wanted to build was only so large. Anyway, he was the only one living there. Even if he added Li Zhiqing and had a three-bedroom apartment, it would be almost the same, let alone he had to build two floors.

However, after careful study, Qin Lei changed his mind.

All his homesteads are gravel, and this kind of ground is not suitable for planting or living. It is actually useless to keep it. It is better to dig them all away and then build all the basements below, so the available space will be more than twice as large.

Of course, these are all concepts and will be further modified during implementation, such as how to place septic tanks and groundwater extraction, etc., step by step.

But the beginning of all this starts with digging a hole.

Qin Lei directly found a place to sell excavators and then started experiments one by one. Anyway, he had unlimited time in this world, and finally he determined an 80% new small excavator.

This one is the one that Qin Lei has tried to have the least noise, and the excavation force is sufficient, so it can be easily dug on asphalt roads. Although the shovel is much smaller than those large excavators, there should be no problem if you just dig a pit of more than 200 square meters.

After confirming these, Qin Lei returned to the 1979th and 19th year of time and space to check again and no one got close to him. Then he measured and determined the location when he returned. Qin Lei brought the excavator out.

Qin Lei is actually quite idealistic about carrying things through time. Basically, he can bring whatever he wants, but there is also a special restriction, that is, he cannot damage items during the process of carrying things through time.

For example, you can bring a faucet over, but if the faucet is connected to the water pipe, you cannot bring the faucet over separately.

As for the size of the thing, as long as Qin Lei can determine it, it is basically OK. Of course, Qin Lei has not tried too big objects.

Sitting on a small excavator and appearing in this time and space, Qin Lei glanced at the tablet on his hand and confirmed that no one noticed the movement here and immediately started digging.

Qin Lei's excavation method was very special. He controlled the excavator's bucket to dig a shovel of gravel, and then the entire excavator flashed the soil and rocks in the bucket disappeared, and then continued to dig a shovel and so on.

After almost all the earth and rocks in front of the excavator were dug, Qin Lei sent the excavator back and came back to redefine the location.

Not only that, in order to ensure that animals like rats and snakes are not brought in during the excavation process to pollute another time and space, the earth excavated by Qin Lei was not piled up randomly in that world, but instead found a special cement pit to stack it in case that creatures with basic intelligence would not run out of their control and reproduce in this world, causing them to lose control of this world.

As for worms like cockroaches and earthworms, there is no problem, because Qin Lei has tried something like insects or things that have no effect on the world. Once he leaves, the worms he brought in will be reset and disappear...

If you use a shovel to dig a hole of 240 square meters and five or six meters deep, it is a huge project even on ordinary land. However, all this is particularly easy for Qin Lei Jin's fingers and excavators.

Moreover, each excavation is carried out in one step, and the time spent in 1979 was extremely short, and most of the time was lost in 2022. Therefore, after Qin Lei dug this pit, less than ten minutes had passed in 1979.

After finishing the pit, Qin Lei did not immediately build the basement, but returned to the 22nd year of time and space, drove to a nearby gold shop and took out a large amount of gold and piled it in four corners of the pit.

This is not a custom of building a house, but a backup plan left by Qin Lei for himself.

The reason why Qin Lei wanted to get a homestead here and completely follow the size of the regulations, even the old village chief took the initiative to increase the area for him was because he wanted to ensure that the land that belonged to him was absolutely compliant. Only this land really belonged to him, so that he could ensure that once there was a problem with his golden finger, he could still retain it, and at least he could allow him to have food and clothing in this world for the rest of his life.

A large amount of gold was divided into four parts and piled up in four corners of the basement. It is roughly estimated that the gold is hundreds of kilograms. Even if he has nothing, he should be enough with this gold in his life.

After completing this, Qin Lei returned to the time and space for 22 years to get cement. However, after arriving at a special cement factory, Qin Lei changed his mind again.

Originally, he wanted to water the cement directly, but that was too time-consuming. Qin Lei planned to use prefabricated boards to make his own basement like a pile of blocks.

First, I put a few carts of gravel on the ground to prevent the land from sinking. Then, in 2012, I directly selected prefabricated boards. This kind of board cement factory has it. Each of them is of a standard size and has steel bar reinforcement. Qin Lei tried it with a sledgehammer and then selected the strongest batch and it can be used directly.

As mentioned earlier, Qin Lei brought items to travel through time as long as the object was not connected to other things, Qin Lei could take them away. Therefore, Qin Lei did not even need a crane to lay these prefabricated boards. He directly pressed them with one hand on the prefabricated board and thoughts to take them to the designated position. Even if there is a deviation in the position after crossing, just take them back and bring them back again.

This time, the working time was faster. In 1997, there was not even a minute before the prefabricated boards on the ground. The walls were a little troublesome. If ordinary prefabricated boards were used, the fixed issue would be necessary. Qin Lei didn't know what to do to build a basement normally, but Qin Lei had his own way, which was to directly choose characteristic cement columns.

This kind of cement column was also found here. Qin Lei didn't know what they were for, but he felt that the size was right, and the square was very neat and had a lot of length. However, after trying to cut it, it could be destroyed into two and there were steel bars inside. It was still the kind of particularly thick steel bars, which looked very strong. Qin Lei tried it with a sledgehammer and was much harder than those ordinary prefabricated boards. The only problem was that cutting was more troublesome, but it would not be lost in 22 years of time and space, so he could take it slowly.

In addition, every time he travels back, his physical strength will be restored, so he will not even feel tired if he does this.

So Qin Lei directly arranged these cement columns with a side length of less than one meter directly around the surrounding deep pits. This cement column looks strong and can be used as an air raid shelter if one meter thick.

However, Qin Lei's disadvantages of building a house with stream of consciousness finally emerged.

After getting the walls and bottoms done, Qin Lei discovered a problem, that is, the height of this basement is a bit awkward.

When Qin Lei digged a hole, he relied entirely on visual inspections. He thought that it was almost done, so he dug out a depth of about five meters.

Afterwards, he laid thick gravel at the bottom to prevent sinking, and made prefabricated boards as the ground. In the end, the depth of the pit was only more than four meters left.

However, if you make two basements at this depth, the thickness of each floor may be less than two meters after the roof. This is a bit too blocked, but if you only make one floor, it will be more than four meters and a little too high.

In the end, Qin Lei did not choose to separate. Anyway, it would be useless to get too many basements. And if you need it in the future, you can find a way to make a partition.

After thinking about this, Qin Lei began to study the ceiling of the basement, and until this time Qin Lei finally realized what those pillars do!

If you guessed correctly, this should be the cement beams of a building, which are reinforced with high-quality cement and thick steel bars in order to have a higher load-bearing effect. As a result, someone actually used it as a wall tiles!
