Chapter 25 Building the Furnace
It was still raining, and it was continuing in a downpour.

After a while, there were small patches of stagnant water in the low-lying areas on the ground in front of the shelter.

Seeing the stagnant water, Han Yuan's eyes widened and he was shocked.

Although there are several layers of palm and banana leaves on the outside of his shelter, the connection between the ground and the ground is not waterproof, there are no gutters, and there is no waterproof wall.

Once the ground leaks and water seeps in and wets the dead leaves and branches he just collected, it's over.

Thinking of this, he quickly began to move the dead leaves and branches in the shelter.

These are kindling and things to keep you warm at night when you sleep without getting wet.

Insert the lobular red sandalwood sticks more than two meters long into the skeletons on both sides of the shelter.

I picked some dead branches and connected the skeleton of the shelter with red sandalwood sticks to build a platform off the ground.

Then quickly transfer all the litter, fallen leaves, moss, etc. on the ground to the off-ground platform to prevent the water from seeping inside and wet these things.

After transferring the dry firewood, Han Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to worry that there would be no dry kindling for starting a fire after the heavy rain.

Fortunately, the shelter built this time is not a small triangular shelter. It has enough height and enough space, otherwise these things would not be able to be transferred.

But looking at the rain outside, he became sad again.

It is normal to rain in the tropical rainforest, but it is a very unfortunate thing for him at present.

It was raining, and he didn't have enough firewood, cooked food, or warmth at night.

Now he is even afraid to go out of the shelter, because he is afraid of getting caught in the rain and catching a cold, so he can only hide in the shelter and shiver.

Weak, helpless, pitiful.

"Is the life of primitive humans the same as mine? It is possible to face all kinds of storms, even thunder and lightning and other natural disasters at any time?"

Looking at the torrential rain outside, Han Yuan thought about it and muttered in a low voice.

Although his words were whispered, they happened to be heard by the audience in the live broadcast room.

[Primitive humans are not as easy as you!You have mastered the knowledge and information of the next 2000 years, you know all kinds of survival methods in the wilderness, and you also know the information about various plants. Primitive people have nothing. 】

[Don't forget there are all kinds of beasts!Mammoth!Saber-toothed tiger, pseudo-lion!It's much harder than you. 】

[When the anchor said this, I really want to know how the primitive humans who had not yet developed civilization lived tens of thousands of years ago?I really want to go back and have a look! 】

[I think the anchor is also quite difficult. He is alone and has nothing. After all, primitive humans gather together and can take care of each other. 】

[The host is also very dangerous here, okay?One person has to do everything, and there are all kinds of dangers lurking in the Amazon rainforest, such as jaguars and pythons, no less than primitive humans, okay? 】

['Airplane in the Clouds sends out' plane*1, keep going! 】

['You wait for the breeze, I'll wait for you' sent out a rocket*1, don't be discouraged, the anchor! 】

Seeing the barrage, Han Yuan came back to his senses, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, even a heavy rain won't make me succumb."

"Man conquers nature. Our ancestors started from nothing and have come to the present. I believe I can do it too."

It was raining heavily outside, and he couldn't go out, so he could only stay in the shelter and chat with the audience in the live broadcast room.

This rainstorm came suddenly and left suddenly.

After more than an hour, the dark clouds cleared and the rainstorm suddenly stopped.

Han Yuan came out of the shelter, kicking a mud puddle.

The ground is wet, there are puddles of all sizes everywhere, and there is water everywhere, and a few drops of water will fall from the top of the head from time to time, which is the water on the leaves.

This situation made him a little worried.

In this state, the fire can't be raised. Although there are still some dry litter in the shelter, it is not enough to burn.

The night may be spent without a bonfire to keep warm.

Checking the surrounding situation, a heavy rain drenched all the trees, and he couldn't find any dry firewood nearby.

Han Yuan sighed, shook his head, turned back to the outside of the shelter, began to dig some soil, and built a waterproof wall outside the shelter.

Because of the lack of this before, although the sudden rainstorm did not seep from above, a lot of water seeped in from the ground.

Most of the soil on the ground is wet, and there is not enough room to sleep at night.

Although he didn't think carefully about this, he also didn't expect that the rain would come so suddenly, and it would fall so heavily, that he wasn't prepared for it at all.

Fortunately, the problem is not very big, and now a waterproof wall can be built again.

Just after the heavy rain, the soil on the ground is wet and can be dug with hands.

Not long after, a waterproof wall about ten centimeters high was built around the shelter.

In addition to building a waterproof wall, South Korea also dug a drainage ditch along the outside of the waterproof wall.

The rainwater dripping from the top of the shelter can just fall into the gutter outside the waterproof wall, and then flow out along the gutter.

Eat a ditch, gain a wisdom, life experience is slowly accumulated in this way.

When he builds a wooden house next time, there will be no such thing as water seepage in the house due to heavy rain.

After the rain, the sky cleared, the dark clouds dissipated, and the sun came out again. The sunlight fell on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, and sporadic spots of light occasionally moved with the wind.

The ground is wet, the original work can't be done, and the jungle can't continue to explore.

Because there is water on the leaves, it will fall and wet the body, and you may catch a cold.

After thinking about it for a while, Han Yuan decided to build a few stoves first for carbon and iron smelting.

This should be the only thing he can do now.

Sure, he started to get busy.

It happened to have rained, the ground was wet, and the soil was also wet, so there was no need for him to fetch water from the lake to liven the mud.

After all, the new shelter is still some distance away from the lake.

It's not the best place to build a shelter, but it's got hematite and it's good for a campsite.

He still has to find another place for the shelter that is really used for long-term residence.

But this matter can be put aside first, and it is okay to do it after the iron is smelted.

After choosing an open space with direct sunlight, Han Yuan started to build the stove.

He first continuously collected and transported the wet soil around, and piled it up in the open space.

Seeing him start collecting soil, the audience in the live broadcast room began to ask him what he wanted to do, whether he was going to start iron smelting.

After collecting enough soil, Han Yuan had time to look at the barrage to answer questions from the audience.

"It's still early for ironmaking. Before that, I have to do other preparations."

"I planned to burn charcoal this afternoon, but because of the rain, there is almost no dry wood in the forest, so I can't help it."

"However, I can make a stove first, and use it for burning charcoal after collecting firewood tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
