Chapter 467 Yukon Furnace and Trench Fire Pit

After lunch, the survivors took a short break and then devoted themselves to the "big construction" of the villa.

As the saying goes, tall buildings rise from the ground. During the dinner just now, the survivors all put forward a lot of opinions.

Therefore, according to the priority, everyone decided to solve the problem of food and drink first, and the supply of electricity and the construction of the stove became their main tasks.

Lao Zhao and Bi Dahu were responsible for assembling the power supply equipment as usual, while Lei Tong led several brothers to build the stove.

Considering possible problems, Lao Zhao specially arranged the power supply machine room in a storage room on the second floor of the villa. There are no miscellaneous objects here and it is very suitable for placing motors and vehicle battery packs.

In addition, since it is located on the second floor, in the event of an emergency, survivors will have enough time to transport the power supply equipment to the bus in front of the building.

On the other side, Lei Tong plans to make two things, one is called the "Yukon Fire Pit" and the other is a regular "trench fire pit".

Yukon stove, just by its name, it seems easy to imagine what it looks like, but anyone who knows it or has used it knows that this kind of stove can cook any food. The only drawback is that it requires a lot of money to build.

effort.

However, the overall structure of this kind of stove can fully dissipate heat, so considering the later life and the subjective experience of the cook, Lei Tong decided to make this "big guy".

Stones, soil, and villas were all ready-made. After everyone "picked and dug", the originally clean courtyard garden turned into a pasture ruined by porcupines.

However, Lei Tong and others do not have the slightest sense of guilt about this. After all, in the apocalypse, compared with filling the stomach, the garden, which is of no use, will be destroyed. Unless the garden is full, no one will

care.

With the materials ready, Lei Tong and his comrades immediately picked up the engineer shovel. They first dug a circular hole in the center of the courtyard, and then dug a 24-centimeter tunnel on one side leading to the main cave of the "circular hole" just now.

Then, stones were built outside the main cave to build a funnel-shaped cylinder that stood above the tunnel.

This sounds simple but is quite complicated to do.

Because you need to tilt the stone inward first, and then open it at the top, which invisibly imposes requirements on the shape and structure of the stone.

Therefore, the soldiers must constantly choose and try, and sometimes they need to remove the edges and polish the stones. You can imagine how complicated the steps are.

This is also the reason why few people know about this kind of outdoor survival stove.

After the stones were solidly built, Lei Tong and the soldiers immediately began to use the soil they had just collected to stick them along with the stones.

This process is not troublesome. The main thing to note is that there should be no gaps between the stones, because only by completely sealing the furnace wall can the fire inside be well protected.

Stick the last handful of soil on the stones, and the "Yukon" stove comes to an end.

Looking at the formed stove, smiles appeared on the faces of the soldiers.

This is the essence of more than half an hour's work, but as for its practicality, we have to wait for Wei Yang's inspection later.

After building the Yukon stove for cooking, Lei Tong immediately started making the trench stove.

Compared with the Yukon stove, the trench stove was a more common method of burning fires used by soldiers in the field.

There is no doubt about digging the pit. The soldiers dug a small square pit 2 meters long, which was just the right size to hold an ordinary wok.

After finishing repairing the inner walls of the pit, place the remaining stones into the bottom of the pit. Then you only need to raise a fire on the stones to start cooking and frying.

In addition, the hot stones after the fire is extinguished can also be used as a grill for barbecue.

From this, it is not difficult to see why the usage rate of the "trench stove" is so high, because compared to the Yukon stove, its use is much faster, and the most important point is that the construction is extremely time-saving and labor-saving. In addition to digging and digging properly,

There is almost nothing extra you need to do outside of the pit.

Since the "trench stove" was not too complicated, the soldiers simply made two more. After all, Weiyang had to take care of the meals for a large family, so it was a bit nervous to build only one pit.

So to eliminate any possible need, the soldier made a slightly smaller stove for daily use of boiling water.

At this point, the stove construction work mentioned by Wei Yang has been successfully completed.

Overall, Lei Tong was quite satisfied with his masterpiece, so it was time to accept the results.

But before that, the collection of wood still needed to be completed. For this, Hu Xiaodong volunteered and took Wang Qiang, Wei Dazhuang, Wu, and Wenquan Xin to collect firewood.

Considering that it was the first time to go up the mountain, everyone made complete preparations before leaving. Anti-cut clothing and anti-stab holsters were necessary, and weapons and equipment were also required. In addition, wooden axes and chain saws were required.

The survivors kept everything intact.

After that, several people walked out of the villa one after another and headed towards the back mountain.

The back mountain is not far from the location of the villa. Perhaps in order to create a back-to-nature atmosphere, the developer did not destroy the forest land too much.

After crossing the road and going straight for about 15 meters to a flower lawn, a natural mountain forest stood in front of the survivors.

Draw the knife! Draw the spear! No one knew what they would encounter in the forest. The survivors all took out their weapons at the first time.

Hu Xiaodong held up his bow and arrow and took the lead into the forest. After confirming that there was nothing else, he hooked his fingers at his companions behind him, indicating that they could enter.

"Everyone, please pay attention to the soles of your feet and pick up fallen dead branches as much as possible. In addition, stay vigilant and don't leave the team without permission. We will be active in the surrounding areas!"

The reason why we pick dead branches is mainly because the tender branches still have moisture and are easy to smoke, but not easy to catch fire.

The dead branches are different. Not only are they easy to ignite, but the evaporation of water makes the combustion process more complete, thus reducing the possibility of smoke.

After 15 minutes of picking up, Hu Xiaodong decisively gave the order to return.

Logically speaking, they should chop down some trees and go back, but at this time almost all the survivors had a lot of branches in their hands.

So to be on the safe side, Hu Xiaodong decided to go back first.

Anyway, the forest is there and it can't possibly grow wings and fly.

It might be a good idea to send back the firewood first and try out the function of the stove.
