Chapter 158: The Bathroom

Chapter 158: The Bathroom

After a whole day of heavy work, the favorite thing for everyone at Qi Ming is to soak in the newly completed bathtub and wash away the sweat and fatigue of the day.

Since the bathroom was built, it has become the most popular place.

After nearly two months of living like savages, they finally achieved the freedom to take a bath.

The rain in June has been abundant, so the water tank has been almost constantly full. At present, the entire water supply system is running very smoothly, and Chen Mu is even considering whether to add another water tank.

After clearing away the two cardboard boxes, the room looks more spacious, with plenty of space.

When he first started this project, his abilities weren't as strong. If it were now, a water tank of this size would probably only take a few minutes to complete.

However, it seems unnecessary to increase the water tank's capacity in the summer. Dong Junwei and the others feel that they should wait until September to decide.

Chen Mu immersed himself in the large bathtub, with the cool water covering most of his body, leaving only his head resting on the edge of the metal tub.

The stainless steel bathtub felt even cooler to the touch. Fortunately, it was summer, and Chen Mu wished the water were even colder.

Dong Junwei and the other girls were more particular about it. Before each bath, they would have the squad leader personally heat up the entire bathtub.

Because they gave up the option of a shower, they temporarily didn't install the previously considered metal coil and instead had Dong Junwei directly heat the bathtub.

The stainless steel bathtub was heated to a suitable temperature for the human body, and after adding water, they could enjoy the pleasure of a hot bath.

The bathroom was divided into two sections, one for men and one for women.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

Each section had ten bathtubs.

This ensured that each person had their own dedicated bathtub, just like the stalls in the toilet.

The reason for this luxury was not only for hygiene but also because building bathtubs was not that difficult, and Chen Mu, in a bit of capriciousness, ended up making a few extras.

Of course, hygiene was also a significant factor.

Although they were called bathtubs, they were actually more like water tanks, and the biggest drawback was the lack of drainage.

According to the current size of the bathtub, even if a drainage outlet is designed, water cannot naturally flow out from such a small pipe.

The main issue is that with such a small amount of water, if one takes a longer bath, it quickly evaporates, and you have to keep replenishing the water.

Following Tang Jing's design, a main water pipe with a diameter of 10mm is introduced into the bathroom, laid overhead on the ceiling, and then 20 branch pipes are suspended down. These branch pipes have a conical shape, with a terminal diameter of 2mm, and are equipped with screw caps.

At first, Chen Mu tried to create valves, like the principle of a water tap, but eventually found that, apart from the requirement for precision being somewhat high, controlling a water tap was even more challenging than simply installing a screw cap.

However, Chen Mu and the others saw the problem.

Although they had solved the washing problem, the lifespan of the clothes was still limited. Especially since they wore the same clothes every day, the wear and tear were obviously faster.

In a few more months, everyone's clothes would become ragged, almost resembling those of beggars.

Because Chen Mu's abilities couldn't do much with fabric, the idea of making new clothes was currently just wishful thinking.

Of course, it wasn't entirely hopeless.

Pulling cotton threads from towels and then knitting clothes in a similar way to knitting sweaters wouldn't be too difficult in theory.

But the problem was that out of the seventeen people present, including Tang Jing, none of them knew how to knit with needles. To be precise, Tang Jing, the top student, understood the steps and various knitting methods, but her hands-on ability was limited, and she had never actually knitted, so she couldn't even get started.

Even if they managed to knit something, the end result would be as rough as a sweater. While that might be acceptable for regular clothes, it would be too irritating for undergarments made of yarn.

Regarding this issue, Dong Junwei's suggestion was that Tang Jing should teach everyone how to knit sweaters. Given a few months, they could probably produce several pieces of clothing.

Though not pressing at the moment, it was evident that if they waited until the weather turned cold, it would be too late.

For now, it seemed like this was the only feasible solution.

Therefore, several boys, including Chang Junyan, raised their hands to show they were willing to learn.

However, when everyone's eyes turned to Tang Jing, the class monitor seemed to disagree with this plan.

Because she had her own idea.

It had to be said that Tang Jing's way of thinking was entirely different from that of a normal person; her thought process was extraordinarily wild. With just one sentence, she silenced everyone:

"I think it might be better to directly build a loom."
