Chapter 14 From the second day of the emerald elephant
After dinner, I returned to the ranch. It was almost dark, and it was time to wrap up the day, and I still had a lot of unfinished work.
Today's time was wasted on chatting and drinking with idle people in the town, and almost no serious things were done.
"The atmosphere in this town is too comfortable. I must not be assimilated into such a useless person."
I thought back to the way Boss Dick and Old Sebala were drinking and bragging today, and I shuddered quickly.
This is too terrible!
In addition to walking around the town, my plan today is to improve the indoor environment a little better. It would be best to make two pieces of furniture out of general-purpose stone materials to get rid of the trouble of having only four walls.
I walked back to the ranch with ease, and immediately arrived at the stone cutting table, ready to continue saving raw materials.
"Choose a task: Make general stone materials*50."
Once the task was selected, I was like an arrow leaving the string. I immediately ran two meters away and picked stones in the messy field.
Then hammers, chisels, and polishing stones took turns, and a standard general-purpose stone was quickly produced.
………
Before it got dark, I had piled a large piece of general-purpose stone on the site, layer by layer, like a lying giant beast, crawling in the corner of the pasture.
I calculated the current quantity and found that it should be enough for recent renovations and construction use, so I stopped and returned to the house for architectural planning.
This room is not big. There is a silver-white, high-tech sleeping cabin placed prominently at the entrance, which serves as a bed.
This is also the only decent furniture in my house. If there is electricity in the future, I can continue to activate the life support, medical treatment, muscle repair and other functions of the hibernation chamber.
After all, in the age of the universe, long-term dormancy is still irreversible in causing damage to human muscle tissue. Only by adding a relatively weak current stimulation function to the dormant chamber to actively promote muscle contraction and movement can humans be protected from muscle atrophy.
These are all things for later.
I looked at the location and saw that furniture was definitely not allowed inside the house near the fireplace.
In the future, in the winter, I will still need to light this fireplace to keep warm. Even if the furniture is close to the smoke and fire, it will easily cause a fire.
Then we can only place it against the side wall of the pasture, build a table, and put a chair as a place for eating and working in the future.
Next to the dormant warehouse, I need to make a locker to store the farm tools and fishing rods I picked up today.
There is still a bit of space deeper in the room, which I don't plan to occupy at the moment.
If the crops are productive, I can temporarily store them in the house to protect them from wind and sun.
Otherwise, I can also reserve enough space for building a workbench.
Judging from the system with the gear-shaped logo painted on it, I at least still need to build a crafting table, a stove, a forging table and other equipment.
I am also very curious about how many surprises these workbenches can bring like general stone materials, and how many changes they can create for me.
After making up my mind, I focused on the gear sign in the corner of my field of vision, and a familiar voice rang through my ears again.
"Welcome to Tynan Sylvester's Colony Simulator!"
I quickly flipped through the architectural planning projects, looking for the projects I needed.
Sure enough, the items that were previously displayed as gray and unselectable were now displayed as being buildable as my building materials appeared!
"Select job task: Build table."
"Furniture name: Universal stone table
Furniture introduction: When there are chairs facing the table, people can read and eat on them.
Physical mass: 25kg
Cover effect: 40%
Flammability: 0%
Aesthetics: 2”
I piled up all the common stones, large and small, from low to high, just like a perfect painter who can turn children's scribblings into majestic paintings with just a few strokes out of thin air with his eyes closed.
's masterpiece.
Who is this colonial system, and why has it mastered so many magical techniques?
When this table is built, it looks like an ordinary square table on the outside. There is no decent pattern decoration on the corners, but it still highlights the simple, material-saving, durable, and unreasonable colonial style.
The entire table does not require a single nail or gluing in one place to build it. It is all made of large and small common stone splicing structures. There is no trace of unevenness on the smooth tabletop, and it is smooth and neat enough to reflect the silhouette of a person.
This may also have something to do with the materials I use.
The off-white luster of general stone comes out perfectly with a little polishing.
The square table legs look like ordinary extensions from the outside. In fact, after careful identification, you will find that the table legs have parts at different angles stuck in eight directions to ensure that there is no trace of displacement or looseness.
I chose a new building plan again.
"Choose job task: Build a stool."
"Furniture name: Universal stone stool
Furniture introduction: A simple stool for people to sit on. It is not very comfortable, but it is better than nothing. It can be used near the dining table or workbench or other places.
Mass:5kg
Cover effect: 20%
Flammability: 0%
Comfort: 0.50”
It is called a stool, and of course it does not have a backrest, armrests, footrests, lumbar support, ergonomic design, pure maple body imported from Canada, massage device, automatic heating...
It's just an ordinary stool, square and regular, maintaining the same architectural style as the dining table, standing there stupidly.
It seems that nothing will change in another ten thousand years.
I suddenly thought that the architectural style of this colonial system might be the original intention of its creation.
Perhaps there were indeed many colonists carrying this system to countless dangerous, violent, wild, and edge planets in an attempt to carve out a stable habitat.
There may be countless of them, and they will be destroyed by attacks, diseases, dangerous creatures, and planetary disasters, and their whereabouts are unknown.
However, the buildings built by these colonial systems can still rely on their solid texture and stand on that land forever, waiting for those who come after them to continue to use them and move forward.
"Thinking about it this way, the design style of the colonial system's cannons instantly becomes more sophisticated!"
I'm much happier now.
Sitting on a universal stone stool, resting his hands on the edge of the universal stone dining table, he looked at the setting sun from a distance.
The afterimage of the setting sun became darker and darker, but the scattered light became more gorgeous, dyeing half of the sky red.
The majestic Madas Mountains are rolling and undulating, like a mother embracing this pasture. The slightest cool breeze is like a slight breath, not wanting to disturb the parents and children in her arms.
I have already been to the beach today, but I should actually continue walking in the mountains to get a better understanding of the surroundings of this town.
I haven't decided on my plans for tomorrow yet, because the amount of farm work is limited, and there aren't many places where I can usually work.
The winery and the forge are one option. Although the two drunkards have strange personalities, they don't seem to have any malicious intent.
Maybe I can go to the mountains to collect some mountain products and let Zach help me sell them in exchange for the first pot of gold. I think this kind of accumulation is more suitable for a start-up ranch.
By the way, the chicken farm will provide me with a batch of seedlings. Should I pick them up early?
No, I can't afford seeds now, nor can I afford chicken feed...
Let's just sow the grass tomorrow, store some green materials, and then think about breeding.
I stood up from my seat and lay down in the dormant cabin peacefully.
Chapter completed!
