Chapter 342 Can’t Collapse
The snowstorm on the grassland completely swept over in the middle of the night.
The wind howled like a ghost crying. The moment he heard the sound, Hilke's heart beat violently while he was sleeping. He was completely awakened.
As a race that lives on the grassland all year round, although such movement is not common, every time it occurs, it will bring huge losses to them and leave an extremely deep impression!
At this moment, the door to Silke's ward was pushed open, and a medical staff leaned half in from the door.
Silk subconsciously prepared to stand up.
The medical staff frowned when they saw this.
"Lie down, what are you doing when you get up?"
They were really annoyed by Silk, who increased their workload every now and then.
Hearing this, Hilke was stunned.
"Shouldn't there be a transfer?"
"What to transfer?"
"The snowstorm should be blowing outside..."
Hearing this, the medical staff You can roughly understand what Silk meant.
"Don't worry, this house won't collapse. Just lie down here peacefully and sleep well if you have nothing to do. I'm just here to confirm the situation."
As the medical staff spoke, they checked the heater and temperature in the room. After confirming that there were no problems, they closed the door and left.
Only a slightly messy Hilke was left, sitting on the edge of the bed, listening to the 'whining' sound that kept coming into his ears, wondering whether to sleep or not.
In other words, it is no longer a question of whether he wants to sleep, but whether he can sleep.
Under the blizzard, Hilke was also afraid that the house would collapse and bury him alive underneath.
He might have had time to react if he was awake. But if he fell asleep and the house collapsed, would he still be able to escape?
Maintaining this state, half the night passed quietly.
After that, Hilke barely slept a wink. The next morning, when the medical staff came to check the ward, they looked at his bloodshot eyes with a startled expression.
"Hey! Didn't you sleep last night?"
There is a bit of gloating in these words.
This guy Silke has caused them so much trouble. He is quite happy to see the other party suffer a little without increasing their workload.
Seeing the medical staff come in, Hilke, who hadn't slept all night, was in a daze. He couldn't hear the gloating in his words and just wanted to ask...
"You said last night that this house couldn't collapse, why can't it collapse?"
From the current point of view, if he doesn't understand this problem, it will be difficult for him to sleep peacefully.
Faced with his question, the medical staff couldn't help but roll their eyes.
“I’m not from the construction team. How do I know why this house won’t collapse? If it doesn’t collapse, it just won’t collapse!”
What the medical staff said was not a lie. He really didn't understand this.
The actual answer is that last year, considering construction efficiency and labor issues, they only used the mortise and tenon structure to make the frame of the house, and the rest was simply fixed on.
But after experiencing an accident in which the roof was blown off or even collapsed in a snowstorm in winter, according to their leader's wishes, the entire structure of the important buildings in Prairie Village, from the frame to the roof, was all made of stainless steel. The mortise and tenon structure is used for connection.
With the mortise and tenon structure linking the entire house structure together, unless the snowstorm tore down their entire house, otherwise it would be really hard to collapse it. easy.
The cost of doing this is that it takes a lot of time and energy. In order to complete the work as soon as possible, we even went to the equipment department to borrow some people to help them polish the mortise and tenon structure.
As for why not all the houses in the village were fully upgraded? The reason is simple, time and conditions do not allow it.
If he does this, will Huangshan Village still move? Should Tieshan Village be built again?
The Construction Engineering Department can be said to be one of the busiest departments under Zhou Xu right now, and their tasks must be properly arranged.
Put the breakfast on the table aside.
"I'll collect the plates later."
After saying that, the medical staff turned around and left again.
The medical department is currently understaffed. Medical staff like him have to take care of several injured patients at the same time and have no time to stay with one patient.
The aroma of the food made Hilke put this problem aside for the time being.
Not to mention anything else, in terms of food, Prairie Village can be said to have completely exceeded his expectations.
Looking at this era, the daily meals of their prairie elves are definitely not bad, but their cooking methods are still very monotonous.
Anyway, besides roasting, it is boiled, and there is no seasoning.
The mutton is delicious, but there is no seasoning. After eating it for a while, I will get tired of it.
But Zhou Xu and others are different. Not only do they have seasonings, but their cooking techniques are also richer.
Their kitchen masters basically all cooking techniques such as steaming, frying, steaming, and stir-frying. Even if it is the same ingredients, if you change the method every day, you can taste it differently.
Delicious food can relieve mood and even adjust mood.
During the meal, Hilke's mental state significantly relaxed.
After breakfast, the doctors from the medical department will come over to check his injuries. If there is no problem, the medical staff will give him medicine.
After taking medicine in the morning and before taking medicine in the evening, the only thing he had to do as a wounded patient was to lie down and rest.
It just so happened that he didn't sleep well last night. He closed his eyes and slept until dark.
He wasn't woken until the paramedics came to tell him to have dinner.
At night, after sleeping too much during the day, Hilke began to think about this house again.
When he first came to Prairie Village and when he left before, Hilke actually looked at the village.
Although the population does not seem to be as large as their village, the scale is larger than their village. The buildings in the village look like the architectural style that appeared before the destruction of the last civilization. .
But Silke never thought too much until this personal experience...
From midnight last night to now, the 'whooshing' sound caused by the strong wind blowing outside the house has almost never stopped. He can even feel that the house has been shaking slightly, and it makes a 'squeaking' sound. sound.
Other than that, there is no impact at all.
The wind was blowing and the house was shaking, but it didn't collapse.
In terms of the level of construction and some manufacturing techniques alone, Hilke had to admit that the 'Great Zhou' headed by Zhou Xu was completely ahead of them.
Even now thinking about what Ye Jinghong said to him casually before, Silk couldn't help but make a bold guess in his heart.
"Could it be said that there are two villages in this 'Great Zhou'?"
