Chapter 232 Interstellar Cannon Fodder 11
[The above person is a shill, why have I never heard of this mortise and tenon structure? ]
[No, brother, you know I'm from the history department, right? It's not normal that you don't know this because you don't study this. Can the wooden house our ancestors lived in withstand the claws of a mutant beast?]
[Since it is no longer practical, it will surely be lost slowly. In the history department, mortise and tenon joint structures are unpopular knowledge. It is normal that you don’t know about them, okay? ]
[Don't pay attention to these people who are deliberately finding faults. They can't stand others being good all day long. In their eyes, everyone is a bad person. Let's just watch how the young lady builds a house. If I can understand the mortise and tenon structure, I will have a solution for my graduation thesis. ]
[Heh~ I'll just watch you guys blow your own trumpet. ]
【you……】
[Seniors, seniors, the teacher has also come to watch it together, we don’t hesitate to deal with those nitpicking people. ]
Qu Nannan automatically ignored those bad comments. If they were too excessive, she would just let the elf kick them out.
"Well, everyone must be unfamiliar with the mortise and tenon structure. This can be traced back to the ancient times. At that time, productivity was backward and there were no iron nails. Those craftsmen used the joints between wood and wood to make things."
"The mortise and tenon structure is mainly a timber frame structure, built with main components such as columns, beams, and purlins. The joints between the components are matched with mortise and tenon joints to form a flexible frame."
"The mortise and tenon joint is an extremely ingenious invention. This way of connecting components makes the traditional wooden structure a special flexible structure that surpasses the building frames, frames or steel frames of the time. It can not only withstand large loads, but also allow a certain amount of deformation. Under earthquake loads, the deformation offsets a certain amount of earthquake energy and reduces the seismic response of the structure."
"The mortise and tenon joint is a concave-convex connection method used on two wooden components. The protruding part is called the tenon (or tenon head); the concave part is called the mortise (or mortise, mortise groove), and the tenon and the mortise bite together to play a connecting role." (Information from Baidu)
[It sounds so profound! ]
[Dude, you are good at describing things. I am much more straightforward. You can’t understand me at all, okay? ]
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I'll demonstrate it to you live and you'll understand the principle behind it."
Qu Nannan first picked a few thick and straight tree trunks: "Let's carbonize these woods first, which can increase the hardness and durability of the wood, and of course it can also prevent insects."
"Okay, these few pieces are enough for pillars. Now we measure how big the house needs to be, and then measure the appropriate distance. Then we dig a pit about one to two meters, bury the carbonized section in the pit, and compact it."
This was also fortunately in the interstellar space, otherwise Qu Nannan, a little girl, would be suspected of being abnormal if she acted like a strongman. There was another advantage to being strong, moving these woods back and forth was like playing.
"See? All we have to do is add soil to the deep pit where the wood is buried and compact it. Remember the groove I made on the top of this pillar just now?"
"Now we will build the framework above."
Qu Nannan had never actually built a house, but in her little world she loved watching videos of people building houses outdoors. She would naturally learn by watching more. She had wanted to try it for a long time, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.
By lunchtime, Qu Nannan had already built the rough framework of the shelter: "As you can see, the rough framework has been built, and the only thing left is to fill it in."
She touched her stomach and said, "I'm very hungry now. We need to eat something to fill our stomachs before we can continue. Let's see what ingredients we can get today."
"Nannan, there are small strange animals drinking water by the stream."
When Qu Nannan looked over, she saw an animal similar to the long-eared beast on their Mercury. It was called a jumping beast here. It looked more ferocious than a giant rabbit, but it was fast and had average combat power.
"Okay, our lunch ingredients are here. If you are not used to blood, please stay away."
The camera is turned to the outside of the safety cover. The safety cover is transparent when viewed from the inside. The view from the outside to the inside depends on the adjustment made by the person who installs the cover. It can be transparent or blurry.
Outside the safety cover, two jumping beasts were sticking their butts out to drink water. They were obviously a couple. These creatures usually live in groups, and Qu Nannan was very lucky to only encounter two of them today.
Even mutant beasts with low combat effectiveness cannot withstand large numbers, and once there are large numbers, it will naturally be much more difficult to deal with them.
Qu Nannan was discovered by two jumping beasts as soon as she came out of the safety shield. These two were obviously adult jumping beasts. The head seemed to be similar to Qu Nannan's, but the fatter and thinner one was definitely twice as big as Qu Nannan.
The mutant beasts were not too timid. When they saw Qu Nannan and the others, they didn't want to escape but to attack. The jumping beasts were very fast and could jump far away, but Qu Nannan was not slow either. She only made a few feints and killed two adult jumping beasts with her sword.
[Wow~ The host has a strong sense of combat and a strong fighting capacity. The military academy has lost an excellent student.]
[Yes, that's not right. The military academy has not responded for two days. Why is that? ]
[It cannot be said, it cannot be said. We just need to know it in our hearts. Just remember that powerless war orphans like us can only be slaughtered by others.]
【It’s really chilling! 】
[No matter how chilling it is, you still have to endure it. ]
An old professor of the history department of the Federal University looked at the comments on the screen and asked his students: "Isn't this just a video about building a house? Why is it about war orphans?"
Those who can study history are not necessarily all useless, but there will definitely not be people with both physical and mental fitness. Studying the useless history department is mostly made up of useless children from rich and powerful families.
I watched the live broadcast yesterday. Today, the young man who asked the teacher to watch it with him curled his lips with disdain and said, "I don't know which second-generation rich kid framed the girl again."
"This girl is a senior student at the military academy. It is said that she was abducted on the spaceship that was sent to the battlefield for internship. According to inside information, this girl was blocking a disaster for others. The girl had a hot temper and jumped directly into the universe. Unexpectedly, she was lucky enough to survive and was sent to an unknown planet by the black hole."
Jumping into the universe is not something that everyone dares to do. How terrifying is it? It can instantly turn people who don't have any protective equipment into ashes. It's a miracle that this little girl can survive. What's even more miraculous is that this person doesn't seem to be injured.
