Chapter 720: Please Don't Show Like This Again! (Ask for subscription)
Longer lines mean that you can lure big fish to deeper water with bait, and that's a well-known fact.
But the key is that Chen Xu does not have professional fishing equipment, where to get this more than ten meters of fishing line, even if it can barely be woven with tree bark, or replaced by vines, but how to reel in the end?
You must know that professional fishing rods have reels, and it is easy to retract the fishing line.
Xu Ye can't use his own hands to pull hard, right?
Facing the doubts of the audience in the live broadcast room, Chen Xu said meaningfully: "There is no need to pull hard, we can make a take-up wheel!"
So, he ran straight to the side of the swamp and dug with his hands in the dirt at the water's edge.
After digging for about a moment or two, brownish-yellow dirt began to appear under the brown silt.
Those viewers who had watched Chen Xu's previous live broadcast on the Pacific Island recognized it at a glance, this is the clay that has been washed and filtered by the water flow and deposited, which is much finer than the ordinary soil on the ground, just like plasticine, which is easy to glue together.
Could it be that Xu Ye wants to use clay to burn a reeling fishing wheel to come out?
This Nima is too awesome, right?
Seeing this, Chen Xu smiled, "Why can't you burn a take-up wheel?" To be honest, our purpose is just to reel the line, and we don't pay attention to throwing rods like those professional anglers. ”
"In this way, we only need to make an I-shaped roller with a wire wrapping function, which is a simple shape that can be carved even from wood, but we have limited tools and it takes a lot of effort to drill holes, so it's easier to fire it in clay!"
As he had finished speaking, he dug up about two handfuls of clay, and then took the brownish-yellow clay to the vicinity of the campsite.
Next, Chen Xu brought a stone and sprinkled it with a layer of charcoal ash from the fire, the purpose of which was to prevent the clay from sticking to the stone slab, and also to absorb the moisture in the clay, so that it would not be too soft and not easy to shape.
The audience knows that this should be Xu Ye's "workbench".
Then, under the lens of the drone, he kneaded one of the handfuls of clay into a mud cake, and then found a smooth stick about three centimeters thick, pasted it on, and glued it into a tube.
Next, it's time to squeeze into the middle and trim the shape!
To be honest, since it's a simple fishing boat, there's no need to make it too elaborate.
What's more, no matter how delicately pinched it is, when it is put in the fire to burn, it will be more or less deformed.
Therefore, when kneading, Chen Xu made it extremely simple.
Finally, it was pulled off the wooden stick and formed into an I-shaped mold about six or seven centimeters long with a three-centimeter round hole in the middle, which was indeed very similar to the reeling wheel on a fishing rod.
However, because the mud will be very brittle and easy to break when burned, Chen Xu pinched the edging on both sides of the I-shaped very thick, and pierced a hole with a one-centimeter-thick branch at one end.
Looking at such a delicate mold, the audience couldn't help but admire:
"666, I feel that Xu Ye must have been a pastry master before, this dough is kneaded so well!"
"How cold, I'm playing in the mud in Borneo!"
"I feel that if you give Xu Ye time, you can use clay to burn a dirt house!"
In the process of the audience's barrage discussion, Chen Xu made a total of two molds, because considering that the clay may explode and fail in the fire, so make one more and be prepared.
He then placed them next to the fire, dried them, and then threw them into the fire to burn them, and in order to increase the temperature of the fire, he deliberately filled them with a lot of combustibles, and used the broad leaves of plants as a fan to constantly blow the fire.
Because it was not a big object, after burning it for more than half an hour, he used a stick to pull out the two clay take-up wheels.
As he guessed, one of them, which already had a lot of obvious cracks on the surface, was obviously unusable.
And the other one is well fired.
The light brown color, the appearance has hardly changed, and Chen Xu taps it lightly with his fingers, making a crisp sound similar to the "bell" of tiles.
Then, according to the old method, Chen Xu used six strands of bark to weave an ultra-long fishing line of more than ten meters, and tied a wild boar tooth hook to the end.
As for the fishing rod, he used a palm bamboo that was nearly three meters long and four centimeters thick.
In the past few days, he has been using this plant to make fishing rods because it is lightweight, tough, and does not break easily.
Then, Chen Xu carved a shallow groove with the tracker at a distance of about 15 centimeters from the bottom of the fishing rod, and then cut off the stick that had been used to make a clay fishing wheel to about 10 centimeters, and fixed it to it with bark.
It wasn't until he twisted up and down and showed no signs of sagging that he inserted the clay fishing wheel into the right end.
"Because the water molecules evaporate during the firing process of the clay, the clay molecules gradually stick together, so the whole thing shrinks a little bit, so that there are some gaps between the clay and the sticks. ”
"As long as we coated this stick with dipterocarp resin, there would be almost no friction, and in the same way, we could split a little bit at the end of the stick with a knife, put a small pebble in it, and finally wrap it in the bark to death!"
"In this way, the end of the stick will swell and thicken because of the stones, and it will exceed the diameter of the clay fishing wheel, so it will not fall off, and it can turn and reel in with peace of mind!"
After preparing all this, Chen Xu pierced a hole with a tracker at the top of the fishing rod, passed the fishing line through it, and then spared the fishing rod twice, and finally wrapped it around the clay fishing reel.
Finally, he found a branch more than one centimeter thick, cut it into about seven or eight centimeters with a knife, and forcefully stuffed it into the hole that had been pierced at one end of the fishing wheel before to use it as the handle of the fishing reel.
Finally, the rod is all done.
Under the lens of the drone, Chen Xu pinched the handle and gently turned the reel, and sure enough, as he turned in circles, the fishing line really followed the fishing rod and continued to wrap around the fishing wheel!
"Damn, what a success!"
"Chen Duxiu, please give Li Dazhao a way to live, please don't show off like this again!"
"666, Xu Ye Zhen Nima is awesome, you can do it behind closed doors!"
"23333, I feel that if there is enough time, Xu Ye can make iron from the soil and make bearings!"
"Ten years later, Xu Ye built a solar generator in Borneo!"
"Xu Ye's hands-on ability +100,000!"
Looking at the barrage of "666" on the screen, Chen Xu smiled modestly, "In fact, this is just a simple reeling rod, and it is far from being comparable to a real professional fishing rod!"
