Elven settlers

Chapter 392 Chapter 390: Bei Hui
Just now when Heiluga was calcining the rocks, Rock and Abo were not idle either.

They found two huge stones and made a simple hand-operated stone mill.

After collecting the reef powder residue, Rock poured the powder residue into the feed port of the stone mill, mixed it with pure spring water to make a stone slurry, and then Nidoking and Nidoqueen took turns turning the handle of the stone mill to grind it. stand up.

There is a bucket at the outlet of the stone mill to receive the finely ground mixed liquid. The power of Nidoking and Nidoqueen is not only huge, but also very continuous and stable.

So although the stone grinder is relatively crude, the grinding effect is pretty good.

After grinding all the reef powder residue, Rock left the bucket filled with mixed liquid to stand still.

After a while, the liquid in the bucket gradually began to stratify.

The upper layer is a relatively clearer liquid, but of course the clearing effect is limited.

Rock vaguely remembered that this layer of liquid seemed to be called lime liquid, and it seemed to have some unique functions, but he returned all the specific functions to the chemistry teacher.

The lower layer of the bucket is a layer of white milky substance, the state is somewhat between solid and liquid.

This layer of milky substance is what Rock wants.

He couldn't wait to pour out the upper liquid, leaving the lower milky substance, and then let Heiluga dry it over a small flame, leaving a layer of white powder in the bucket.

Interestingly, the reef as the raw material is off-white, but the color of the final powder is as white as jade. It looks very good from the looks of it, but I don’t know if it has any effect.

Rock thought for a while, mixed the stone powder and water in a ratio of five to three, and mixed it into a thick paste. Then he randomly picked up two stones and stuck them together with the paste.

"Let's go and eat. After the paste dries, we will know whether this thing is useful."

He had done all the steps that Rock could recall, and he could only leave it to fate whether he would succeed or not, so he threw the two test stones on the ground quite bachelorly and went straight to making lunch.

The stone powder paste will not be completely dry until at least tomorrow. In the afternoon, Rock and the elves did not wait, but began to make stone bricks.

It is said that it is a stone brick, but it is actually a piece of large stone that has been trimmed to make the surface slightly regular and smooth.

Not only Geranium can do this work, but the four Nidokings, Nidoqueens, and Rock can also complete it, but they have to use hammers and iron wedges, which are not as efficient as Geranium.

Rock is faster at this job than Nidoking and Nidoqueen because he can use power tools.

In one afternoon, Luo Ke and the others made more than 500 stone bricks.

He is quite satisfied with these stone bricks. While these stone bricks maintain the natural and rough beauty of the stones, they also have some regular beauty.

Now Rock is already looking forward to what a greenhouse built with these stone bricks will look like, assuming of course that his homemade cementitious material can work.

In his anxiety and anticipation, the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

"Today is the time to witness the results. If our test is successful, future construction projects will be convenient."

Rock rubbed Heiluga's head excitedly, hoping it would bring him good luck.

The paste that bonded the two stones has solidified, forming a jade-white ring as thick as a thumb's length between the stones.

He took a deep breath, closed his breath, and carefully grabbed one of the two stones that had been glued together yesterday.

In the surprised eyes of him and the elves, another stone connected to his hand was also lifted up.But Rock was not careless, he grabbed the stone and shook it gently.

The two stones were still bonded very tightly, as if they were one stone in his hand.

"Huh~ Looks like a good start."

Rock let out a sigh of relief, became a little bolder, and waved his arms a few times.

After discovering that the two stones were still firmly bonded, he held his breath again, grabbed a stone with both hands, and gently broke it apart.

The joint between the two stones was still motionless, so Rock slowly increased his strength.

However, through the feedback from his hands, Rock could clearly feel that the two stones did not look like they were about to crack. A surge of ecstasy gradually emerged from his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

After a long period of training, coupled with the fact that human physiques in the Pokémon world are already full of potential, Rock's strength is actually very strong now, and he can break even a tree trunk as thick as his arm with just a little effort.

Now he has tried his best, but the two stones bonded with stone powder paste still don't look like they are about to crack. This obviously proves that his self-made cementing material has successfully exerted its effect, even a little beyond. exceeded his initial expectations.

"Try it, step hard!"

The excited Rock directly put the stone in his hand at the feet of a Nidoking, and let it use the "stomp" skill.

Under Nidoking's vigorous stamping, the stones that were bonded together finally broke into two halves.

But what surprised Rock was that the two stones were not broken from the place where the paste was glued, but from the uneven part of the other stone.

This shows that the strength of the stone powder paste after solidification is at least the same as that of granite.

"Is it because the raw material is oyster shells..."

Gently stroking the jade-white ring with a hint of coolness with his fingers, Roque pondered to himself.

This was the only explanation he could think of now.

Unexpectedly, the strength of the cementitious material he made roughly exceeded that of ordinary cement. Only elf materials could have such a magical effect. This was definitely an unexpected surprise for Rock.

"As expected, things related to elves in the Pokémon world are the same. I made this material according to the method of making oyster ash. Since the raw material is the shell of the giant tongue oyster, then this material is called oyster ash."

After the experiment was successful, Rock naturally gave his homemade gelling material a simple and clear name, and then energetically organized the elves to continue making it.

Since it was just a test yesterday, Rock and the elves only burned a small piece of the shell reef in order not to waste their efforts, so he still had plenty of shell ash to use.

However, this kind of shell ash whose main material is calcium hydroxide is not very easy to preserve, so Rock did not make too much this time. He basically made half of it, which should be just enough to build the greenhouse foundation.

"Come on guys! Try to get all the building materials ready today for our greenhouse!"

Rock held an electric hammer and loudly encouraged the elves, and the construction site was a lively scene.

　Done, just refresh the bookshelf
