254.Cutting down trees (1/5)

Since the reserve is about to usher in the first wave of tourists, Lao Yang wants to take care of the reserve.

In addition to the daily rodent control work, he also had to quickly build a pavilion, so that there was a place where tourists could sit and avoid the heat.

He re-mentioned the matter to Maison, and Maison said happily: "It's very simple, we can go and cut down trees today, I have a full set of tools here, and I will teach you how to build a pavilion when the time comes." ”

This doesn't need to be taught, Yang Shubao has already thought about how to build a pavilion, and he just needs a few support columns now.

They went to the flower shop and borrowed a pickup truck, then took the chainsaw and set off.

The eucalyptus forest is located in the southwest of the Great Santa Lucia Wetland Park, just over half an hour from the town.

The southern part of the wetland park is now home to forestry companies and paper mills, and many eucalyptus forests are planted here, with towering eucalyptus trees rushing into the sky like giant pillars, all at heights of more than 10 meters.

I have to say that eucalyptus trees are indeed good trees, they grow fast and well, the trunk is more straight than the beautiful legs of the leg mold, there are not many side branches, and there are not many leaves, it is a long trunk that is simply neat.

However, they are also very damaging to the environment, especially because they consume a lot of water, and the vast grasslands have become forests here, and they have become sparse all the way to the eucalyptus forests.

There is grass in the woods, but there are very few of them, and eucalyptus trees rob them of sunlight and water, and even if they are as strong as dead grass, they cannot grow freely here.

As the pickup truck weaved through the wooded paths, Mason's face became more and more ugly: "There used to be water in these places, you know? ”

Yang Shubao was surprised: "This is a swampy area, so even if the water is sucked dry by the eucalyptus trees, the ground shouldn't be so strong, right?"

Meison sneered: "This is the terrible thing about eucalyptus, brother, the ground is indeed still moist when the water is just sucked up, but slowly even this water is also sucked away, how about it, eucalyptus is powerful, right?"

Yang Shubao nodded silently.

The eucalyptus forests are planted in different areas, and different areas are managed by different companies.

Their target was in the deeper area, where a large area of eucalyptus trees had been cut down, leaving only wide stumps. The eucalyptus tree is very tenacious, and side branches grow around the stump, which grow against the sky and grow many green leaves.

Maison stopped the car, and Yang Shubao went to the stump to take a look, and there were only a few rings, which showed the crazy growth rate of eucalyptus.

"Let's work, we can cut down all the trees here, let's just cut down some small trees, you can't use the trees that are too tall, and we can't take them away." "Mayson was clearly not in a good mood.

Yang Shubao said: "Dig a few tree stumps, this thing is very suitable for making a table." ”

Maison shook his head: "It's too difficult to dig tree stumps, they have a well-developed root system, and we may not be able to dig a tree stump even in a day, so I advise you to give up this idea." ”

Yang Shubao smiled: "It's okay, don't look at the guys I brought are small, but they are especially good at digging trees, because their tribe lives in the rainforests of Africa." ”

He brought all three goblins with him, and then he gave the three of them an order to dig a tree stump here.

Meissen chose eucalyptus trees with calf thickness, they grow really beautifully, with straight trunks and tower-shaped crowns, but unfortunately they will damage the environment.

"Scumbag tree. ”

That's what Meissen had to say about them.

Yang Shubao smiled: "Why do you call the scumbag when you see something unhappy?"

"Scumbag Tree!" Mason scolded again.

He looked at Yang Shubao's disapproving face, so he stomped on the ground with his foot and said, "Look here, look at the soil, you have to know that this was once a swamp, and the soil of the swamp was so fertile?

Planting eucalyptus trees on a large scale is a problem, and they cause the local water table to drop, the soil to hold less water, the fertility to decrease, and the land in this area has begun to compact, and the next step is what Mason called soil desertification.

Pulling the logging saw, Maison got to work.

The eucalyptus tree is not very hard, and it can only be frightened in front of the chainsaw.

With a muffled buzzing sound, some sawdust flew in all directions, and a scar appeared on the trunk of the tree.

The tree with a thick calf was not a hard time to cut down, but as the chainsaw cut in more than halfway, the eucalyptus tree began to shake.

Mason withdrew the chainsaw and nodded to him, "Kick it." ”

If you cut it down to this point, you should stop, and it will be dangerous to completely cut it off with a chainsaw, and the trees will not necessarily fall in one direction.

Yang Shubao took two steps back to run, his feet on the ground like wings on his back, he jumped up and kicked up with extreme speed!

There was a 'click' and the eucalyptus tree collapsed with a bang.

Then the two of them got busy, and they began to cut down the branches with a saw in one hand and an axe in the other, and repaired the trunk directly.

Yang Shubao looked around while chopping branches, and he said, "We made such a big movement and no animals were frightened to run out?

"Of course not, this is a damn overlord tree!" "Even if there are animals, what do they eat? Not to mention that eucalyptus secretes chemicals that are poisonous, and breathing for a long time can be problematic." ”

Yang Shubao shook his head and said, "No wonder you hate this kind of tree so much. ”

"I've heard that some bastards are now trying to move the woods north, damn it, I'm not going to do it, as long as I live, they don't want to do that!"

Yang Shubao said: "I'll stand in a trench with you. ”

It took at least four pillars to build a wooden pavilion, and they had to cut down four eucalyptus trees.

Mason said that he had to cut down a thick eucalyptus tree to make a roof, and Yang Shubao shook his head: "I use elephant grass to build the roof of the shed, and elephant grass has a strong ability to absorb heat, which is more suitable than wooden planks." ”

This was his plan, and the elephant grass in the reserve was growing so fast that it had expanded into a large grass forest, and he had no problem cutting off some of the bundled roofs.

Mason thought for a moment and said, "This plan is feasible, and it is more Zulu and Bourman architectural style, which is indeed more in line with the temperament of the grassland reserve." ”

The four trees were cut down one after another, and while Mason was resting, Yang Shubao went to look at the place where the goblins were working, and the three of them started faster, and they had already dug out five thick stumps, each with a diameter of more than half a meter.

He couldn't let Meissen discover the goblins' handiwork, which was amazing, so he decided to drive his own pickup truck to pull the tree stumps another day, and he could drive by now anyway.

Three goblins, a Night Elf, and two people worked together to lift the trunk onto the pickup, and it took less than half a day to complete the work, which is not inefficient.

After cutting down the four eucalyptus trees, Maison was in a much better mood, and he whistled happily on the way back like a knight who had killed the four thieves.

The pickup truck drove through the forest without hurry, and then there were more branches on the clear path.

Someone blocked the road.
