What is the most important thing as a settlement?

The food and water are definitely the source of the first place.

I set my sights on the open area on the edge of this hill. The flat space is conducive to construction and looks like a good place.

The food nearby is not very rich, but it can be said that it is not hungry. As for the water source, I have not found a suitable source of water for drinking, but it is not a problem to temporarily use dates rich in moisture instead.

If it really doesn't work, I'll study the seawater desalination technology?

Forget it, this is too difficult.

All in all, before dark, I had to build a safe place to live.

The first step, of course, I used the colonizer system to call out the Blueprint function.

"Select a Job Order: Architectural Planning—Blueprint."

“Start the building area: Blueprint!”

A ball of virtual white light emerged in my field of view, moving up and down with my thoughts, used to plan the area and set marks.

First, I set up a side about twenty meters long, which firmly extended it on the open space, and decisively occupied the effective space between two pieces of sand. From the perspective of architecture, such a length is already the maximum distance for me to build a normal house.

Next, I analyzed the structure of the house and drew a 16-meter-long margin as the actual width of the house.

16*20=320. These 320 square meters are the size of my planned residence.

It sounds really big, but the problem is...

I can only build a bungalow!

I don’t know why, but the omnipotent colonizer system is particularly weak in building buildings, and can’t even build two-story buildings. No matter how I plan, I am obsessed with the style of conquering the world with one-story bungalow.

Is this a system from 2D games? Return the height to me!

Alas, so these 320 square meters must include many functions. It is both a living area, a snow storage area, or a work area. In the future, other structures such as living rooms and dining rooms must be considered, and this area can only be considered barely enough.

Fortunately, I have experience in building a secret base. I have already gained some experience in using building materials, laying floors, and building furniture, so I will not be too busy from scratch.

On the southwest of my house, on the side of the bare dirt road, there are a few miscellaneous trees growing, which look very suitable for wood.

This tree looks like a yellow cloud from a distance. When you get closer, you can see tiny leaves and golden flower balls. It is furry and very cute. If the information popped up by the system is correct, this tree is called the Acacia Tree.

This tree is very beautiful...just cut it down!

"Select a job order: Prioritize cutting of acacia trees!"

…………

The wood yield of this kind of tree is very low. I almost cut all the nearby acacia trees and saved a batch of barely enough logs. Relying on the weapon cutting of the arm guard, the speed is completely incomparable to the axe.

I miss the happy axe of the carpenters and the happy hoe of the miners in the ranch.

"Select a Work Command: Structure-Wood Wall!"

The virtual white light and shadow floated from the place I planned, forming a transparent wall shape, and at the same time the attributes of the blueprint emerged.

"Building name: Wooden wall (blueprint)

Remaining workload: 2

Included resources: log 0/5”

This is why I chose wood. It only takes 5 wood boards to build a solid wall and save workload.

The colonists system controlled me to start building the wall, but the movement was astonishingly simple. I grabbed five long wooden boards, inserted them onto the ground without saying a word, and then stacked the wood layer by layer.

Then a white light flashed, and the blueprint of the empty white wooden wall emitted a glimmer of light, which instantly coincided with the stacked wood. In just a moment, a seamless wooden wall was formed, which looked like it was formed through clever processing techniques and was steadily embedded into the ground.

At first, what I was worried about was that the system built a wooden wall with airtightness on all sides for me, but when I saw this unreasonable building... I felt relieved.

As the work progressed, the four walls were quickly established, forming a stable indoor space, giving people a sense of security.

I stroked the wooden wall and found that the originally loose wood seemed to have become another unique wood with a naturally generated wood grain pattern. It seemed to present different patterns due to its own differences in parts and different sections during cutting, which stimulated humans' natural love for natural materials.

On the other hand, wood gives people visual harmony. It is not only its soft reflective properties, but more importantly, wood can absorb ultraviolet rays from the sun and reduce the harm of ultraviolet rays to the human body. At the same time, wood can reflect infrared rays, which is also one of the direct reasons why wood has a warm feeling.

However, the houses now are literally just like houses. Apart from the beautiful wooden walls, there is nothing else. Looking up, you can also see the blue sky shining with the scorching sun.

But the system automatically initiated a roof construction command.

"System prompt: Is the roof not laid on the house? Is it laid?"

"Select a work command: laying."

The default roof of the system adopts a purlin-free architecture, specifically a rod-type frame structure. The characteristic is that except for the upper and lower components, there are almost no components perpendicular to the slope direction, but rely on tight rafters to lay the roof panels.

For installed wooden trunks, the need for insulation of roof trunks should also be considered. Houses with roof trunk space should be insulated for the entire roof trunk, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the cold late night and hot day in this arid shrub.

Generally, insulation materials are filled in the gaps between the roof sidings, but due to material limitations, I can only use the thick branches and leaves of the date palm tree as insulation materials.

In this way, relying on the most common materials and the most simple tools, the colonizer system completed the construction of these house frames in just one hour, bringing me an independent space of my own.

Sometimes people are so strange. Even though there is still a desolate and remote wilderness outside the house, staying in this independent house is like isolating the loneliness and loneliness of the wilderness and bringing peace to people.

Whether it is deception or comfort, such an environment can really regain strength in the heart, and it also gives me more courage and confidence to challenge nature alone. It seems that as long as I surrounded myself, people will have the power to win and lose with nature.

When I finished the construction work and walked outside the house to check the results, I saw that the house seemed to have some special changes after a flash of light.

The roof of the rectangular wooden house, with two wings intersecting at 45°, becomes a standard V-lodge. One wing contains public spaces and debris rooms, and the other wing is a series of private rooms and storage rooms with edges arranged along an inclined terrain.

This not only ensures convenience for outdoor activities and travel, but also creates an outdoor microclimate that is conducive to lighting around the residence.
