051 Tents

Qingzhuang and Auntie of the Salt Department were basically ordered by Zhao Hao to go out to search for the strange beast, but he himself did not immediately set off for the prairie to find the unicorn.

As for the reasons, there are two.

First of all, the meat and internal organs of the alien beasts they brought back from the Black Stone Department hadn't finished eating yet, so he had to finish them as soon as possible to improve his strength as much as possible.

He went to the grassland this time to subdue the herd of wild horses, and the easiest way to subdue the wild horses was to tame the head of the wild horses, that is, the unicorns.

He also thought of a way to deal with unicorns, and that was a tripwire, a tripwire woven from wisteria.

However, after tripping the unicorn, it still has to be tamed.

He didn't know what the unicorn's strength was, if the unicorn's strength was only five or six thousand catties, he would be able to subdue it with his current strength.

But the fact that the unicorn dares to take a herd of wild horses to drink near the territory of the saber-toothed tiger at least proves that it is not very afraid of the saber-toothed tiger!

This is a bit terrifying, if the unicorn is about the same strength as the saber-toothed tiger, he has the same strength now, I am afraid that he will be overturned to the ground by others.

Therefore, he must first eat the existing alien beast internal organs, and improve his strength as much as possible to the extreme that he can achieve now, so that it is possible to tame the unicorn.

In addition, he had to prepare a tent.

You know, the trees on the grassland are very scarce, the first day into the grassland, he, Ah Yun, Ah Yue, can still live in the grove where the saber-toothed tiger was hunted for a night, once they leave the grove, the vast front is full of grassland, if there is no tent, they can only sleep on the grassland.

As for the materials for making tents, he had already prepared them, and on the way back this time, he had hunted a total of four huge bison skins, and the tents made together should be enough to squeeze the three of them.

So, how do you turn four bison skins into a tent that can live in people?

The simplest cowhide tent is to sew several bison skins together to make a whole one, and then, find two branches with branches, insert them on the ground, fix them, and then tie a beam on them, and then cover the bison skins, and press the four corners with large stones.

Such a cowhide tent is windproof, waterproof, sunproof and coldproof, much better than tree houses and thatched huts, and worse than bamboo houses.

As for why it is worse than a bamboo house, the main reason is that the volume is not large enough, if you can make a tent bigger than a bamboo house, it should be more comfortable to live in than to live in a bamboo house.

Of course, it is impossible to build such a large tent at this stage, so he can only build a small tent to make do with it.

So, the question is, how did he sew four bison skins into one?

In these years, there is no needle and thread, and if the coarse cotton thread is not strong enough, if you want to make the sewn cooked cowhide reach the level of being able to cover the tent, at least it must be the strength of the nylon thread, otherwise, the tent may be blown open when the wind is strong.

He thought about this problem for a long time, and he even took out the bison skin and paved it on the stone slab ground to study it for a long time.

Finally, he came up with a solution.

The solution is to use the bison leather itself to make thread!

To put it simply, it is to first cut the leftovers of bison leather into long strips of chopsticks with divine soldiers, and then poke out a row of dense holes with sharp stones where several cowhide parts need to be sewn, and then, cut the bison leather into long strips through the holes, tie it firmly, and it is done.

There are a lot of leftovers in this bison leather, because the skin of the legs and neck of the cow is not very regular and must be cut, and these cut offcuts are enough to make "thread".

This method is simple, it takes a lot of effort to make, don't say anything about making a line or something, there are divine soldiers, cutting bison skin is still very fast, the main problem is to poke holes, poke holes in bison skin with sharp stones, that guy, it's really hard.

He also thought about poking holes in the cowhide with a divine weapon, but the holes poked out like that were all long strips, and it was obvious that they would leak after sewing together, so in order to prevent heavy rain outside and light rain inside, he could only choose to poke with sharp stones.

Fortunately, he still has some time at this time, because the internal organs of the four alien beasts add up to hundreds of catties, and he can't eat them all in a few days, and these times are just used to make tents.

Moreover, Ah Yun and Ah Yue don't have much to do at this time, so they just asked them to poke the hole together.

This guy, four bison skins, eight seams, three people poked it for five days to poke it, and Ah Yun, who poked it directly, complained vigorously, why do you do such a boring and laborious thing.

Zhao Hao didn't explain too much about this, because it was too troublesome to explain, and when the tent was set up, Ah Yun understood everything.

Next, it is not very troublesome to tie the four bison skins together by wearing a cowhide rope, Zhao Hao directly cut a bamboo needle, and the cowhide rope basically pierced it.

After six days of unremitting efforts, the four bison skins were finally "sewn" together and turned into a large cowhide about five meters long and four meters wide.

Early in the morning of the seventh day, Zhao Hao couldn't wait to cut two branches with a length of about three meters and a beam with a length of about two meters, and then, he found a vacant space in front of the bamboo house, directly inserted the two branches into it, and then tied the beam to it, and finally, hung the sewn cowhide on it, the tent, it's not good!

In this way, it is just like drying the cowhide, and if it is to become a tent, the cowhide must be pulled to both sides, and then pressed with a stone or nailed with a ground.

The reason why Zhao Hao hung the cowhide first was mainly to try how much the height and width of the tent were appropriate, and he didn't have a ruler at this time, so he naturally couldn't calculate an optimal height and width ratio, so he could only hang the cowhide and try it with the real thing.

At first, he chose a slightly higher height than his height, that is, about two meters high, because he still wanted to be able to stand straight in the tent without bending down or bowing his head.

As a result, his idea could not be realized, because at this height, there were at most two people lying in the tent.

This is naturally not possible, he can't only take Ah Yun without Ah Yue, or only Ah Yue without Ah Yun.

There was no way, he could only reduce the height of the tent to a height about the same height as his height, that is, about one meter eight, and this height was pulled to both sides, and three people could lie side by side in the tent.

Of course, such a simple attempt does not mean that the tent is finally completed, and he still has to solve many small problems.

For example, it is not easy to drill a tent with a branch because there is a branch in the middle.

This problem is not difficult to solve, the height and width of the tent have been determined, he can directly use two branches to insert diagonally into the soil according to the width of the tent, and then tie the middle crosswise according to the height of the tent as a beam support, which can also support the tent.

For example, the method of pressing the corners with stones does not seem to be very strong, and he may rub the stones away with a few random rubs in the tent.

This problem is not difficult to solve, poke a few holes directly on both sides of the cowhide, and then peel some bamboo nails to nail the cowhide.

After he solved a lot of small problems, a brand-new cowhide tent was finally preliminarily formed, and at this time, Ah Yun, Ah Yue, Meng Lan and Meng Bao, two troublemakers, also curiously got into the tent.

This guy, who could only barely sleep in a tent of three people, squeezed in two cute beasts as strong as a bear, the degree of crowding can be imagined, if Zhao Hao hadn't kept holding these two goods and not letting them arch everywhere, this tent that had been finally made would probably be arched by them!
