Chapter 354: Hides and Shields, Waterfall Canyons!(4K)
Night in the jungle.
Quiet and deep.
After a big meal.
Lu Yu stretched hard.
The expression of the face is still unfinished.
The whole person is still immersed in the gluttonous feast just now.
I couldn't extricate myself for a long time.
It took a long time before I reacted.
In the face of the audience's verbal criticism, he laughed softly:
"Brothers, there is nothing more comforting than a good meal, and after eating, the whole body seems to relax. ”
"All the tiredness is gone, and now it would be nice to have a warm drink and a good night's sleep. ”
As he spoke, Lu Yu turned around and took out the bark pot from the bamboo basket.
Then, open the bamboo kettle, pour some water into it, and place it next to the campfire.
Jungle at night.
The temperature has dropped a lot compared to the daytime.
In this case, the best way to maintain your body's core calories is to drink some hot water.
Not only helps with sleep.
It also protects against the humid and cold air of the jungle.
In the process of boiling water, Lu Yu took out the peeled pork skin and put it in front of the camera.
I want to take advantage of this time.
Make something out of this pigskin.
"Wild boar skin has many uses, it is strong and durable, and it is the only raw material for many leather utensils. ”
"Like a rucksack, like a shield. ”
"I've survived for so many days, I've made a lot of blades and weapons, and I have everything I need, and I just don't have a defensive weapon right now, so I'm going to make a shield out of this boar skin to play with. ”
"Shields, as they sound, seem to be weapons of the civilized world. ”
As early as the primitive society, intelligent primitive people discovered this characteristic of animal skins, and began to try to use vines and beast fur to sew shields, and widely used them in hunting and large-scale tribal warfare. ”
This wild boar skin in front of you.
That's more than four feet.
Cut and combined with thin vines and tough shrub branches, it's enough to make a beautiful animal skin shield.
The method of making a shield is simple.
There are three steps.
First, cut and punch with a stone knife.
After sealing the edges with vines.
Make a shield.
Next, a frame is created with the branches and the shield is fastened with ropes.
By the light of the fire, Lu Yu tidied up the wild boar skin a little.
Then, the stone knife is displayed.
While gesturing on it.
While explaining:
"The shield is a kind of defensive weapon used to shield the body and resist the attack of enemy blades, arrows and stones in ancient battles. ”
"There are different shapes, rectangular, round, and even triangular, and they vary in size. The center of the shield protrudes outwards to resemble a turtle's back, and there are several frenulum handles on the inside to allow for gripping when used. ”
"Although the shield is a passive weapon, it seems to be slightly inferior to the powerful offensive weapons such as spears and bows. ”
"But in fact, it's one of the most widely used weapons in primitive warfare, and as long as the two sides are evenly matched, the shield is enough to keep you out of battle. ”
Soon, after laying the wild boar skin on the ground, Lu Yu first used a stone knife to cut a whole animal skin into three small circles.
The diameter of the circular face.
It's about forty or fifty centimeters.
This is the face of the shield.
Due to the single shield, it is not enough to withstand a high-intensity struggle.
Therefore, in order to ensure excellent defense, it is best to compound the three shield faces together.
In this way, the strength of the shield surface is naturally guaranteed.
Three wild boar skins are stacked on top of each other, even if it is an iron weapon, it is by no means easy to pierce.
"In ancient China, as well as ancient Greece, ancient Rome and other countries with ancient histories, shields were widely used in battle. ”
"Among them, the most representative of our country should be the turtle-shaped shield of the Shang Dynasty. ”
"As for the two river basins of the same period, most of them have a soft spot for round shields, but in terms of practicality, turtle shields are definitely better, of course, the shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, they are really heavy......"
"Later, about two thousand years BC, copper shields appeared in the world, and later iron shields. The surface of the shield is generally covered with one or several layers of leather, which can prevent the attack of arrows, spears and swords, and later, with the development of civilization, the humanistic color of weapons is becoming more and more intense, and many blades are usually painted with various colorful patterns, symbols, badges and so on. ”
"After the industrial life, with the development of guns and gunpowder and other weapons, the shield was gradually abandoned and forgotten in the long river of history. ”
As Lu Yu's voice landed, the barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly increased.
"The anchor knows a lot!"
"There must be an encyclopedia in Yushen's head!"
"Posture up!"
"Professor-level anchor!"
"One thing to say, the amount of knowledge is really too rich!"
Half an hour later.
The shield was choreographed.
The next task is to punch holes for the edge of the shield surface.
The purpose of punching is to seal the edges.
Makes the shield look neater and stronger.
It is an indispensable and important step in the whole production process.
By the light of the bonfire, Lu Yu took a piece of charcoal from the burning embers, found the hole spacing on the edge of the shield surface, and marked the location of the hole first.
Then, he drew his stone knife and weighed it at the established mark.
The tip of the stone knife is very sharp, which is really nothing compared to the amount of work.
Soon.
It's just more than ten minutes of work.
The edges of the three shields were all made by him with holes of appropriate thickness.
Next.
There is a hole channel.
Edge banding is much easier.
All you need to do is take out the vines and weave them through the holes in a serpentine weave to ensure sufficient durability.
Follow the method above.
Lu Yu casually took a vine and did it in turn.
It didn't take long.
A decent round shield appeared in front of the audience.
"At this point, the shield is finished. ”
"The next thing we have to do is to make a circular frame out of the branches of some bushes, press the shield against it, and finally make a hand, and we are done. ”
As he spoke, putting the shield aside, Lu Yu got up and near the left of the camp, chopped some extremely thin shrub branches, and surrounded them in a circular frame.
Then, another rope was taken and the frame and shield were tied together.
Carry out secondary reinforcement.
That's where the framework comes in.
It will make the shield more stable.
Even when hit hard, it is not so easy to deform.
With the frame, the shield is getting more and more presentable.
It looks a little rough, but at least it has that taste.
"OK, it's almost, you can use it with a handle. ”
The next second.
When the drone's lens was aimed at the wooden stick in the middle of the frame, Lu Yu turned to continue:
"Brothers, do you see this stick?"
"Its function is to fix the handle, the method is very simple, wait a minute, just find a rope, and then tie the ends of the rope to this stick. ”
The words are not finished.
Lu Yu hurriedly operated.
A straw rope was pulled from his belt and tied to a stick.
Then, according to the thickness of your forearm, adjust the size.
It wasn't until I was sure that there was no problem that I put my left arm inside.
The shield stood up.
The protective area of the animal skin shield is still very considerable.
When the bent arm is raised, it is enough to protect many key parts in front of you.
Now.
Live stream.
Against the backdrop of the firelight, the black short hairs on the shield surface look very textured, floating with a layer of oily luster.
It's really wild.
Secondly, the woven rattan on the edge of the shield is also very regular and orderly.
It looks like a beautiful work of art.
It's really hard to imagine that with just one pair of hands, you can make such an exquisite weapon!
“6666!”
"Yushen has this skill, even if he doesn't start the live broadcast, he can still eat with a mouthful of food, it's really awesome!"
"Earth OL Plug-in Player!"
"It looks pretty good!"
"That's the feel!"
"It's amazing, it's a nightmare for the handbroken party!"
……
The animal skin shield is very handy.
Not only is it tough and wear-resistant, but the weight is also suitable.
It has the strength of an iron shield and the weight of a rattan shield.
In any case, it is a rare defensive weapon.
It is also the first choice for protection when hiking in the wilderness.
Looking at the shield on his arm, Lu Yu nodded again and again.
Then he exerted his strength in an instant, and raised his hand with a wave.
Sou!
After the sound of breaking the air came.
The shield is full of tigers.
Makes the flame flicker.
"Well, it feels pretty good, it's very handy. ”
After smiling, Lu Yu continued:
"Although the shield can only be used for defense, it can be used with knives and guns, and sometimes, it can also exert great offensive power. ”
The specific usage mainly includes: soaring, falling, fluttering, rolling, volving, channeling, squatting, squatting. ”
Secondly, as a Chinese martial arts routine, the more popular shield routines and attack and defense techniques are also as many as a cow's hair, common spears, shield fights, shield knives into sticks, shield knives into guns, three-section sticks into shield knives, etc. ”
With the shield and stone spear attacking and defending, Lu Yu's combat power system has reached a new level.
Whether it is the success rate of hunting or the fault tolerance rate of the enemy, it has increased a lot.
Offensive and attackable.
Retreat can be defended.
Very practical.
Standing in front of the camera, Lu Yu showed the audience his new weapon in all directions, and then sat in front of the bonfire.
While drinking freshly boiled hot water.
I chatted aimlessly with everyone for a while.
It wasn't until drowsiness hit that he lay down in the shelter and turned off the live broadcast.
On the first day of the North Shore journey, the curtain finally came to an end.
There are surprises.
There were accidents.
There are discoveries.
There is a catch.
The river was discovered.
Wild boar captured.
Had a big meal.
He also obtained a very strong animal skin shield, which enriched his arsenal.
But.
And that's just the beginning.
The journey ahead.
It's still confusing.
Because Lu Yu believed that in this quiet and dark jungle, there must be something inscrutable waiting for his arrival.
……
A good night.
Peace is silent.
Following.
Half past four in the morning.
When the sky was just dawning, Lu Yu got up.
Clean up your personal hygiene after breakfast.
While packing his bags, he started the live broadcast.
It's almost time for the waiter.
Only then did I officially say hello to everyone:
"Good morning, everyone. ”
Smile at the camera.
Lu Yu took off the tinder box from his waist, and then continued:
"Yesterday, it was a perfect night, because I had a full meal, I had a good rest and almost slept until dawn. ”
"During this time, no strangers came to disturb me, and there was no other movement in the camp except for my snoring. ”
"Today's plan is very simple, all I have to do is continue along that river, towards the north bank, the old rule, take the fire first. ”
The first thing you do after packing your bags.
It is to keep today's fire.
After finding a piece of charcoal burning red from the charcoal fire, and putting it in the tinder box, Lu Yu found some fresh moss and leaves to seal it again.
After taking the tinder.
He extinguished the bonfire with clay.
All the way to the river.
Greet the sunrise over the island and continue to the north shore.
Explore.
It's for the harvest.
Whether it is this big river or yesterday's good start, it has strengthened Lu Yu's confidence to continue walking.
The sky is unpredictable.
People have good and bad luck.
There is still a month to go.
The devil knows what else will happen.
But no matter what happens, more supplies and more valuable discoveries are all good for survival.
Early morning by the river.
Water vapor is heavy.
After a night of gestation.
Grass at your feet.
It was already full of dew.
I haven't walked a few steps yet.
The straw sandals that had just dried last night were wet again.
Over time, the situation did not improve until the sun rose again.
Stop-and-go.
In the blink of an eye.
Three or four hours passed.
However, along the way, the surrounding scenery has not changed much.
As far as the eye can see.
They all have a typical montane rainforest climate.
Lots of trees.
Extreme humidity.
The terrain is steep.
Aside from the gradual widening of the river, there is little special about it.
When hiking.
Lu Yu roughly calculated according to his own footsteps.
Since I left last night's makeshift camp until now.
Together, he looked like he had hiked more than ten kilometers.
If we continue like this, it will not be long before we can really go deep into the heart of the island.
Judging from the current situation, even if you don't have to climb to the heights, you can see the peaks of the twin mountains rising from the jungle on the north shore at the very end of the line.
For Lu Yu, this is good news.
Because this can at least prove that his hiking route has not deviated.
Unconsciously.
It's noon.
Lu Yu casually found a place by the river, lit a fire to cook, and took a nap.
He rested until about 1 p.m. before continuing his journey.
Acclimatized for the day.
Jungle in the afternoon.
It's not as hot as you think.
But because the road is not easy to walk, and there is a weight on the body, no matter how easy it is, it will not be easy to go anywhere.
It didn't take long for a while.
Drops of sweat dripped down Lu Yu's forehead.
Carrying a bag.
Endure the heat.
Another three to five kilometers were forward.
At this time.
Finally there is a big change ahead.
Because the river channel is getting wider and wider.
The jungles on both sides of the strait have long ceased to be cramped.
Suddenly it became open.
There is no shelter from all kinds of trees.
The sky that has not been seen for a long time.
Again in sight.
farthest.
A canyon waterfall with a depth of at least ten meters surging sloping from the air.
mercilessly blocked Lu Yu's way......
