Chapter 25 The house
was faced with serious security issues. Chen Mucai proposed to build some fortifications, but in fact it was just a vague concept and no mature ideas.
However, unexpectedly, Tang Jing had already made a plan.
Chen Mu saw her squatting on the ground drawing something yesterday. At that time, he thought it was just boring graffiti. But now he saw that these random patterns were actually drawings with accurate data and dimensions.
Of course, the drawings may be a bit exaggerated.
It's not that rigorous yet.
But even with the perspective of an ordinary high school student like Chen Mu, he can roughly understand it.
"You started drawing this yesterday?"
"Well, I said before, there are several ideas, I just need you to cooperate."
"These...are the dimensions of the parts?" Chen Mu pointed at one of them and marked it. Long and wide giant pattern.
"Yes."
"I don't quite understand."
"I probably have two ideas. The first is to block the door gap and leave a passage for people and flatbed trucks to enter and exit. It is closed during normal times and opened when it is necessary to enter and exit. , the second is to build several houses directly inside the room."
"House?"
Chen Mu could understand the idea of blocking the door cracks, and even thought about it himself.
But he gave up in the end. The door of this storage room is about 1 meter wide, and the door gap is 1 centimeter high. With Chen Mu's current ability, he still doesn't know how long it will take to complete this huge project.
Another idea is to use ready-made items such as chopsticks to block the cracks in the door. With Wei Dalei's strength, carrying things will not be a problem.
But later it turned out that this didn’t work either.
Stainless steel chopsticks are round, and the two ends are not the same size. If Chen Mu uses his ability to change its shape, it will be a big project. The problem is that after it is finished, it will still not fit perfectly.
But Chen Mu had never had the idea of building a house.
Tang Jing said: "Yes, I personally don't agree with the option of blocking the door cracks. It can indeed completely prevent larger animals such as rats, snakes, and centipedes, but the disadvantages are also obvious. First of all, it takes a long time. , Secondly, small reptiles like cockroaches and ants can still get in easily even if there is no door crack, so it would be very cost-effective to spend such effort." "But, can
we build a house?"
"That's it. It's up to you." Tang Jing smiled.
"If I had this ability, I would have bought myself a mansion a long time ago."
Chen Mu is now able to control the limits of objects. Even if the speed and mental energy consumption are not mentioned, it is only equivalent to half the weight of his own body. It is indeed better than I made a lot of progress on the first day, but I'm still far from the point of "building a house."
Tang Jing smiled and said, "It's certainly unrealistic to rely on you alone, but there are still so many of us."
"Huh?" Chen Mu was puzzled.
"It may be difficult to transform a house in one breath, but we can break it down."
"Decompose?"
"Yes, a house is nothing more than four walls and a ceiling, and then equipped with doors and windows. It is very simple in terms of structure. , you just need to make each part one by one step by step, and then build it, wouldn't it be much simpler?" "
Hmm..." Chen Mu hesitated.
"Let me ask you, if you are asked to make a plastic board that is as tall as one person and as wide as two people, how long will it take?" Chen Mu
thought for a moment and said, "This is larger than the bottom of a flatbed truck. If you don't need other fine details, It will only take a few minutes."
"Congratulations, you have built a wall." Tang Jing raised her thumbs: "What we need now is a temporary hiding place and a safe space to sleep at night. , we are not really planning to build a mansion. Perhaps, saying a house is a bit ambiguous. You can think of it as a container, or even... a coffin." "
This... coffin?"
"Yes, a coffin that can accommodate four or five people. If you sneak in at night, if there is danger, at least you don't have to worry about it every day, and you won't have anywhere to hide," Tang Jing explained.
"I understand what you mean."
"Of course, there are some details, such as ventilation. It's summer now. Even if it's not too hot at night, it won't be comfortable for several people crowded in a confined space. Also, the house It must be fixed to the ground, otherwise if something big comes, it might eat us and the house together." I have to admit
that Tang Jing's idea is still feasible.
It is also the most cost-effective solution at present.
Chen Mu called everyone together and talked about Tang Jing's thoughts.
If you can sleep peacefully at night, no one will object.
Only Dong Junwei was a little hesitant and asked Chen Mu, "Are you capable enough to support so many materials?" "
If it's just plastic, it's not a big problem."
Chen Mu estimated the scale of the entire project and the upper limit of his own capabilities. He added: "If it doesn't work, just do it in two days. It's better than doing nothing."
Dong Junwei nodded: "Do you need me to do anything?"
Tang Jing smiled and said: "Of course, monitor, you are also the main labor force."
Chen Mu and Dong Junwei looked at each other, feeling like they were being arranged.
...
Tang Jing's idea was very mature, but when it was actually implemented, problems still arose.
It was not difficult, but there was not enough time.
From around three o'clock in the afternoon until dark, no one could even see the prototype of the house.
The initial work was all centered around Chen Mu, and others could not help much yet.
Even if it is just a wall that does not require any decoration, it is difficult to make it neat because of its large area. The reason why it was easy to make the bottom surface of the flatbed truck was because it did not require much precision and neatness, which caused the flatbed truck to look crooked.
But not the house.
It is not difficult for Chen Mu to make a plastic plate of similar size. As he said, it only takes a few minutes. But it is troublesome to meet Tang Jing's requirements.
If the error is too large and the joints cannot be closed when the house is built, it will be meaningless.
So he spent most of his time tinkering.
By the time the four walls were finished, the sky had completely darkened. In addition, there was a big battle during the day. Chen Mu had exhausted too much both physical and mental energy, so he could only put it down and wait until tomorrow.
...
At the same time, Dong Junwei was not idle either.
In addition to heating iron blocks for Du Jiajia to spread the noodles, she also tried some experiments with other materials.
Unfortunately, the materials available right now are very limited.
In addition to steel and stone, cotton, wood and plastic are also worth trying.
Naturally, the first thing that came to her mind was plastic.
Asking Chen Mu to help make a plastic ball as big as a fist, Dong Junwei held it in his hand, closed his eyes as before, and slowly poured his spiritual power into it.
next moment.
The plastic ball shines brightly.
