89. Fortifications
After cutting the timber, Chen Zhe began to build the "fortifications" he had planned in the courtyard.
The first step was still to select a site, and he carved out a rectangular space about 2 x 2 meters square in an open space between the fence and the cabin, where the fortifications were located.
After the site selection was completed, Chen Zhe's second step was to process the wood, he specially selected four pieces of wood with a length of about three meters and similar thickness, and sharpened the end of the wood, similar to the treatment method of fence piles, but these four pieces of wood were much thicker and much higher in height than the wood of fence piles.
After the four pieces of wood are processed, Chen Zhe then begins to cut the planks, and then uses the mortise and tenon structure that he is best at to splice the planks in the middle of the four woods, which plays a role of connection and fixation.
In this way, when the four stakes are erected, the planks will be spliced between the four stakes, forming a complete platform on the inside of the four stakes, and also holding the tops of the four stakes together.
Meanwhile.
The other side of the camp.
Yan'er first transplanted the wild peppers that Chen Zhe brought back into the yard, and then poured a bucket of water on them.
After finishing the work at hand, she came over to watch Chen Zhe's progress.
At this time, the wooden stakes and planks on the ground have not yet been spliced, and the fortifications have not yet been scratched.
"Brother Xiao Chen...... Are you planning to build another log cabin on the camp?" Yan'er asked suspiciously, "But your load-bearing pile this time is much higher than the load-bearing pile last time......
Chen Zhe was sweating profusely, and after hearing Yan'er's inquiry, he just stopped to rest, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Yan'er, you might as well guess, what did I make the four wooden stakes so high for?"
"Hmm......" Yan'er narrowed her eyes and fell into deep thought, speculating about Chen Zhe's intentions in her mind.
At the same moment, the picture in the live broadcast room also switched to Chen Zhe.
Seeing the timber and tools scattered all over the yard, netizens were all curious.
"What is Chen Zhe doing here?"
"Are you going to build a house again?"
"Looks like a big project......
"Which one is hanging big, what is Chen Zhe doing?"
“......”
Not only netizens, but even the host Zhu Ranran was confused.
She looked at the timber scattered all over the canvas and asked curiously, "Teachers, who knows what Chen Zhe plans to build?"
Mr. Meng, a wildlife expert, still holds a grudge against Chen Zhe, pouting and not expressing his opinion.
Mr. Xiao, a cold weapon expert next to him, was well-informed, and after taking a look at Chen Zhe's site and wood, he probably guessed his intentions.
"If my guess is correct, Chen Zhe is probably building a kind of fortification that was common in ancient times - watchtowers. ”
"Watchtower?" Zhu Ranran was obviously a little unfamiliar with this term, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Teacher Xiao, can you say more detail?"
"Of course. ”
Teacher Xiao smiled and nodded, and then continued to popularize science:
"The watchtower has a long history of this kind of construction, it can be said that it is an indispensable building in the fortifications, as the saying goes, stand high and see far, the ancient people did not have such advanced scientific and technological means, they wanted to obtain information, observe intelligence, especially when marching and fighting, the most important way is to rely on the height of the distance to look far.
Build a watchtower and stand taller so you can observe the activity of nearby enemies. In addition, if the general stands on the watchtower, it can also be more convenient to command his soldiers.
Returning to the situation of our island survival, Chen Zhe built a watchtower, which can help him detect the traces of the wolves in advance, and once the wolves get close to the camp, Chen Zhe can occupy the commanding heights by climbing the watchtower, so as to suppress the wolves with his crossbow. ”
After listening to Mr. Xiao's explanation, Zhu Ranran finally realized.
"I see, what Chen Zhe built turned out to be a watchtower...... So, is he really ready to go to war with the wolves?" said Zhu Ranran.
Teacher Xiao smiled: "Even if there is no threat from wolves, the existence of a watchtower is very necessary, and building a watchtower can make Chen Zhe's camp safer."
In addition, if Chen Zhe's watchtower is built, then I can say that he has a good chance of winning in his battle with the wolves. ”
After Mr. Xiao said this, the barrage in the live broadcast room instantly increased.
"It seems that Mr. Xiao thinks that Chen Zhe can defeat the wolves?"
"Teacher Xiao dares to say it, this is a slap in the face of Lao Meng!"
"Teacher Xiao is really 6, the old Meng Gang said that Chen Zhe would definitely not be able to beat the wolves, so he immediately stood up and slapped his face. ”
"I also agree with Mr. Xiao!"
"Chen Zhe will win!"
"The face of the expert surnamed Meng is going to be smashed, right?"
"The surname is Meng, listen to Mr. Xiao! This is the real expert!"
“......”
Originally, Lao Meng sat on the side and kept silent, not wanting to wade into the troubled waters of Chen Zhe again, but now that Mr. Xiao said a word, all the netizens in the live broadcast room began to mock him.
He is not a magnanimous person himself, and he has a grudge against Chen Zhe, and now Mr. Xiao's words, coupled with the arch fire of netizens, have completely aroused his resentment, making his old face turn blue and purple.
"Hehe......"
Lao Meng laughed angrily, and opened his mouth angrily,
"Teacher Xiao, don't talk too much, he Chen Zhe is just building a watchtower, not a missile, he can really be invincible in the world?"
Teacher Xiao didn't care about Lao Meng, but just smiled gracefully and said, "Teacher Meng, I didn't say that Chen Zhe was invincible in the world, I just said that he had a good chance of winning against the wolf pack." ”
"I don't think so!" Lao Meng was already a little angry, and said with a glare, "How strong is the fighting power of the wolves? Even if they are tigers and lions, they have to retreat when they encounter the wolves! Chen Zhe can defeat the wolves with a watchtower and a crossbow?"
Teacher Xiao shook his head helplessly and said, "Teacher Meng, you think Chen Zhe can't beat the wolves, that's your opinion, I respect your opinion, but I think Chen Zhe is still very likely to defeat the wolves." ”
"Hmph...... Then we might as well wait and see......" Lao Meng snorted coldly and said with a straight face, "Teacher Xiao, Teacher Xiao, I see that you have given up your bottom limit as a scholar in order to cater to the views of netizens!"
Hearing this, Teacher Xiao, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a dark face: "Teacher Meng, we have different opinions, it's okay to argue, but please don't escalate to personal attacks, okay?"
"I just can't get used to you talking nonsense with your eyes open!"
The two guests at the scene were about to quarrel, and the host Zhu Ranran hurriedly stood up and pulled the fight.
"The teachers are a little impatient, both of them are experts who have learned to be rich and rich, but there is a small difference in opinion, there is no need to hurt the harmony because of such a trivial matter......
As for whether Chen Zhe can defeat the wolves, I think we will always get an answer as long as we are patient and watch, right?"
