Chapter 705: Fungus Harvester (Subscription Requested)
What's the situation?
Why did this arbor suddenly become so soft again?
Seeing this, Chen Xu was overjoyed: "Great, our raft has fallen!"
After speaking, he excitedly slashed dozens of more knives, and the bark cracked, and the audience realized that the wooden core inside was already a little rotten.
"As early as the first day of the rainstorm, I told you that there are many giant trees in the rainforest that have already died, but they are still standing on the ground by the fixed vines. ”
"And when there is a rainstorm, some trees will collapse because of the heavy rain, and this tree in front of you is exactly like this, it should be corroded by ants and other insects and died. ”
"And now, the ant has long since gone empty, and you can see that most of its wooden core has rotted and softened, and the outer layer of wood is still very hard, which can be used as our shipbuilding material!"
Shipbuilding materials?
The audience still didn't understand, not to mention that rotten wood could not be used to make rafts in the first place, and besides, such a big tree, what a big raft it had to be!
"It's not a raft, it's a canoe!"
Looking at everyone's questions in the live broadcast room, Chen Xu explained: "In the southern subtropical regions, such as Borneo, New Guinea, and Malaysia, the most common means of transportation used by primitive tribes is canoes. ”
"The real canoe is cut from a large intact tree, axe by axe, without splicing, all in one go, so this is very strict in terms of both the requirements for wood and the skill of chopping. ”
"Sometimes, if you cut one wrong place, the whole tree will be scrapped, and this process is usually done by a dozen craftsmen in the tribe and takes several days. ”
"Such a degree of complexity, as well as the energy expended, is destined to be a canoe rarity, not every tribe member can have it casually, I am only one person, if I want to cut an arbor into a canoe, it may not be able to complete it in a month!"
"However, the rotten core of the arbor in front of me, because it is hollow and the outside, can just save me a lot of trouble, and in less than two hours, I can make a canoe!"
Listening to his explanation, some viewers realized that there is indeed a canoe as a water tool.
"666, it turns out that the primitive tribe is the same as us, and not everyone can have their own means of transportation!"
"In primitive tribes, is it true that whoever has a canoe is equivalent to owning a Ferrari?"
"Damn, isn't that canoe a weapon for pickling girls?"
"23333, are the women of the primitive tribe also so materialistic?"
"They're the most realistic......, okay! Oh no, whoever is strong will follow whomever it is, simple and straightforward!"
……
Chen Xu couldn't have imagined that the audience could look at the canoe from this perspective, which was simply a big brainstorm!
And in the following time, he began a crazy "canoe construction plan".
Although there is no axe, BTK's Kaishan knife blade is originally thick and heavy, which is conducive to chopping, plus it is purple quality equipment, and the sharpness has a bonus, and it is relatively easy to deal with a rotten wood that has long since died.
"The canoe is made in one piece, similar to the shape of a small boat, but it is more slender, so the front and back should be left closed, which is quite demanding on the technical requirements of chopping, once the cut is wrong, it will leak!"
"Fortunately, this dead wood only rots in the center, and the wood at the head and tail is stronger, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen it!"
After speaking, Chen Xu increased his efforts and kept chopping.
Maybe this thing is really difficult to make, during this period, from time to time, there will be a "experience point +1" prompt from his mind, it turns out to be from the tool making skills!
Currently, his tool-making skill is only lv4 and his current experience is 23/500.
It took about an hour of hard work, and the whole tree was finally cut off in half, and the rotten wooden core in the middle was also hollowed out by him.
Then, he began to put the finishing touches on the head and tail.
The head is sharpened, like the bow of a simple boat, and the principle of this is to reduce the resistance of the current to the boat, which is more conducive to navigation.
As for the tail, Chen Xu only flattened it.
Eventually, he built a canoe about four meters long, half a meter high, half a meter wide, and about five centimeters thick, with a blue-yellow color of wood, like a sharpened pencil-shaped canoe.
"Hoo ......"
After an hour of chopping, it took a lot of his strength, wiped the sweat from his forehead, drank a sip of water, and continued to speak: "We have carved the shape, but this is only half done. ”
"Watching my live broadcast, you should know that I have often emphasized that burning wood will make the wood carbonized and become harder, and the same is true for making canoes, after the wood carving is cut, it must be smoked with fire. ”
"The idea is to make the canoe harder and less perishable once in the water. ”
With that, he towed the canoe back to the campsite.
At this time, the advantages of the canoe are reflected, slender and small, like holding a log, much more flexible than a raft.
Then, Chen Xu found a large amount of wild grass from the surroundings, piled it into a pile, surrounded the canoe, and began to light it with fire.
From the inside to the outside, every corner, it took half an hour to burn it all.
After that, the original green and yellow wood has now turned into a shiny black, which looks quite exquisite!
"Xu Ye is simply a ghostly workman, so beautiful!"
"Could it be that this canoe will break the curse of 'Xu Bi Shen'?"
"Hahaha, the canoe that Xu Ye made with so much effort, if it was smashed by a giant catfish as soon as he got out of the water, it would be interesting!"
"Congratulations to Xu Ye for obtaining the equipment [Canoe]: Durability: 10, Speed: 8, Defense: 7, available for high-level hunters. ”
With the new ship, Chen Xu is also very happy.
He then made a piece of wood out of palm trees and balsa planks, and then took a fishing rod, a pike, and drunken fish grass to the lake outside the swampy jungle.
to the edge of the swamp.
Chen Xu pushed the canoe into the water, took off his clothes and shoes, and stepped on it barefoot, but the body of the boat was still holding him very steadily, floating on the water.
It was a success!
His face was delighted, and he immediately walked to the back of the canoe and put one foot on the left side of the boat and the other on the edge of the boat.
Seeing this scene, the audience was puzzled.
Why didn't Xu Ye sit directly in the canoe?
Isn't dragon boat rowing all about sitting and rowing?
Although this canoe is a little crowded, it is not impossible to sit, there is no need to stand, and you have to step on the side of the boat with one foot!
Facing everyone's doubts, Chen Xu smiled: "My current posture is actually the driving method of the canoe!"
