Greenhouse, Conservatory, or Glasshouse, are the terms often used to describe the name of a large building with a transparent ceiling, often made of glass or transparent plastic, which is made so plants can grow inside a closed space while still getting the sunlight of every day, while also being protected from the dangerous environment, which might include snow, ice, cold winds, and plagues, perhaps.
But how can we make it? I guess we can make the Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive! Still, we don’t have any hardcore smithers nor forgers to make things out of metal, and it’s not like we got anywhere to find metals unless we begin to collect them from around the ruins… and even then, it wouldn’t be enough to make the pillars, so wood it will be.
And then comes the ceiling, glass.
How do we get glass? We have to heat sand and make it… all while shaping it around. I am sure that making such enormous parts out of glass would be a monumental act, but it should be possible, and I could handle it by using shadow tentacles as gently as possible.
I suppose the two fire ghosts can make glass and shape it around, right? They should be able to do that much. It shouldn’t be hard. Hell, I will help them out if possible.
Now that I think about it, if they’re made of fire, they could also work inside a furnace and melt metals, shape them, and more, right? Hm… although all the big pieces of metal in modern earth are always made inside large factories. I don’t know how they did it before factories, as it was mostly made out of stone and wood.
Oh right, stone! We could make the pillars out of stone, I suppose, with some wood Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!
I quickly shared my thoughts with everyone else, who were in the blue of what to do. Lucifer and a few others knew what it was but had no idea how to even begin the construction, so I gave them my ideas.
“Hm, indeed, making the pillars a combination of stone and wood could work. I am not an architect at all, but it does seem to make sense. I wonder if there is anybody within our people that could help in this regard.” Said Lucifer.
“Yeah, wood and stone sound okay, but… Indeed, I wonder if there could be someone that can help, we got a lot of people. They can’t be all useless traumatized slaves, right?” asked Catarina.
“Catarina, be more sensitive about your words!” said Emeraldine.
“Eeeh? But they’re all pretty useless anyways…” sighed Catarina while crossing her arms.
“Well, they’ll eventually recover and begin helping in the Kingdom by producing things themselves. I am strong, but that’s it. I cannot create food, nor houses, nor anything really useful than offering fighting power, so it’s going to be up to our teamwork and everybody else that we’ll be able to make up this an actual village in the end….” I said.
“Hm, I agree… Anyways, the glass is still a problem.” Said Lucifer.
“Glass… We need sand for glass, right?” asked Partner.
“Yeah, we need a lot of sand. The finest sand there can be as well.” I said.
“We can help at making glass, but we need the sand, though!” said Silvio.
“There is no sand here. It is all snow and frozen dirt.” Said Francesco.
Yeah, that was the biggest issue. Where can we find actual sand? This entire place is filled with just snow and ice. But I quickly remembered that we are near the coasts of the continent, just the area of the coasts closest to a continent filled with ice, Niflheim, so it is cold instead of being a summer-like temperature.
Well, according to Lucifer, it was never this cold, though. He even said that there was vegetation, a lot of grass, and even fruits grew, so there might be a new factor that had emerged in these last years that changed the temperature of the place, and that might also be related to the frozen people’s state…
Nonetheless, it is unnecessary to think about this topic for the moment, as we need to concentrate on our current dilemma. We need more vegetables and fruits, but bringing them here from other places will be a pain, so we need to at least have some level of production, even if small and while still needing the Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!
And therefore, we need to make this greenhouse to raise plants in this cold…
And therefore, we need glass to make the damn ceiling.
So, where is sand to make glass? There should be some sand on the coasts near the frozen beaches, right? If not, we’ll go into the deep of the ocean and pick some sand from there. Hopefully, we can find some there if we can’t find any on the coast…
“Sand? There should be sand on the cold coasts near this place, right? We are near the costs of the Midgard Continent of the south area, so there should be some sand, even if the beaches are so freaking cold.” I said.
“Ah, you’re right… I have been thinking in nothing but snow and ice so much that I have completely forgotten about that fact, my bad…” sighed Lucifer.
“So we are taking a trip to the beach?” said Catarina.
“Sounds interesting. I guess I will join too.” Said the Goblin Chief, who suddenly entered the room alongside the Goblin Elder and Gofumin.
The Twins also joined, who was with Gofumin.
Bellerine and Syllis also joined. The little rabbit-kin girl began to hop around cutely while her brother walked calmly to join us. A few of my clones quickly brought some food for them.
“We’ll also like to help.” Said Syllis.
