Twenty or thirty meters tall trees are almost as tall as five or six stories tall in later generations, and when the building collapses, it will fall vertically, but when the tree falls, it will roll over and press down. When a tree falls in the forest, it may crush dozens of trees next to it, and this kind of destructive power and chain reaction can make people feel frightening when you think about it.

Lin Ji ran towards the neem tree in the forest, but halfway through, he saw that the eagle was training the ghost eagle, and his heart couldn't help but sink even more.

"How about cutting down trees? How did you do it when you weren't there? Lin Ji paused for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

It is said that it is a training eagle, but in fact, the eagle is secretly feeding this ghost eagle.

This person and the eagle were a little afraid of the forest traces, and when they saw the forest traces coming, one hid the squirrel meat behind him, and the other turned his head and pretended to look at other places.

Seeing that Lin Ji didn't care much about his behavior, Ying said: "They did a good job, so I dodged and let them play by themselves." ”

"Play? What to do if you play to kill someone? Lin Ji roared angrily and quickly ran over there.

It turned out to be a little late. As soon as Lin Ji ran a few dozen meters away, he saw a gust of autumn wind blowing, and the huge neem tree in the distance rumbled down amid the exclamation of the crowd.

The stumps and leaves were all over the ground, and smoke and dust were rising.

The destructive power of the fallen tree was even more terrifying than Lin Ji thought.

Before the smoke and dust dissipated, the forest trails passed by, and someone was heard crying: "Smash, smash, I knew that I would listen to the lame eagle, just cut it on both sides......"

Lin Ji didn't have time to listen to the words behind, and hurriedly rushed out: "How many people have been smashed?" Save people. ”

There was no smoke and dust on the other side of the stump, and men, women, and children were all gathered on the other side of the tree, and they all looked a little strange when they saw the forest trails: "No, no one was hurt, are there still children running over there?" ”

Someone looked in the direction of the fallen tree, and looked for a long time in the stumps before saying, "No one." ”

Lin Ji looked in the direction of the trunk of the tree, only to see two large branches falling down with the neem tree, knowing that he had made a mistake, these people cut down the tree and knew to let the tree fall to one side, obviously not doing things as he thought.

It's just that the fallen neem tree is not well cut. The tree had been cut down to about a quarter, and the other quarter had been torn off the entire trunk and was still standing on the stump like a sword.

The man with the axe knew that he had gotten rid of it, and laughed with Lin Ji: "I should have listened to the eagle a long time ago, and cut it from both sides...... This one is broken, and I will cut another one? I know that these trees are everywhere, bigger than this. ”

Lin Ji saw that the side that was torn off was relatively flat, and it didn't let the trunk crack, so he couldn't wait to hug and kiss this man. Cutting down trees knows to make everyone dodge, and creating such a section, how smart people can do it?

With this section, the bottom of the canoe basically does not need to be sharpened. How much effort does this save?

And knowing that this neem can be broken like this, Lin Ji also thought of a way to break the wood without a big chainsaw, and it is really possible to make a big canoe this time.

Facing the frustrated man, Lin Ji said: "This is a good cut, if you have the strength, help me cut it from here." This time, you have to be careful that you can't just cut one side anymore. It's best to cut down those branches and leaves first, and then cut them when they hit the ground. ”

This man is probably using this iron axe for the first time, and he is using it refreshingly. He spat two handfuls of saliva into his hand, swung his axe and said, "Then leave it to me." ”

A large tree was quickly dismembered with its branches and branches, leaving a trunk of about ten meters. The adults around were also quite satisfied, and as the sky darkened, they went back to the grove or went back.

The trunk was too large to move, and in the next few days, it became a workshop for forest relics and eagles. Many people also come here in their free time to see how the canoe is formed.

Primitive people made canoes, limited to cutting tools, and generally burned them out by fire. They controlled the area of the fire on a large piece of wood, burned a part of it, extinguished the fire, scraped off the charcoal part with a stone tool, burned it again, and so on.

It can take a few weeks to build a single-person flat-bottomed canoe quickly, months or even a year if it is slow.

Lin Ji has an iron axe in his hand, so naturally he doesn't need to do this. But the kind of big canoe he had in mind that could carry several people could take weeks to chop with an axe.

But after cutting down a tree and tearing a piece, this greatly saves the time of flattening the bottom of the boat. At the same time, Lin Ji saw another way to break the wood through this.

Lin Ji knew that when the ancients mined stones, they would drive nails into the stone along the texture of the stone, so that the stone would crack.

Lin Ji also wanted to use this method to try to see if he could break the neem.

There were no iron nails, so Lin Ji found some arm-thick hardwood stakes instead. First they made holes in the trunk with an axe, and then it took Lin Ji and Eagle two days to nail a dozen stakes into it, and finally after using an axe to split some of the cracks in the front and back of the tree, the whole trunk was split from the middle.

Watching the big tree trunk split in half, it feels more refreshing than opening a durian.

The broken trunk is half of the whole on one side, and it can be broken again to build a canoe. On the other side is a quarter of the missing half.

Now to build a canoe, you just have to cut most of this half into a boat.

The forest trail made a simple ruler, a long ruler and an ink fountain with a tree branch rope, and used charcoal as a pen to draw a boat-like one, and then the eagle cut and dug little by little according to the black lines drawn by the forest trace.

Neem wood is brittle and soft, and after a few days, the canoe is formed.

It's a big canoe with two slightly warped ends and two pointed ends. The hull is seven meters long, the height of the ship is about 30 centimeters, the top of the hull is about one meter wide, and the bottom of the ship is about 60 centimeters wide. The planks are about five centimeters thick. It is expected that the load can reach a thousand catties.

Afraid that the hull would be easy to break, Lin Ji also got pine resin, and the whole ship was brushed three times.

On this day, the pine resin dried out, and before everyone went out, the forest trails let the whole tribe see the maiden voyage of this "canoe".

The canoe was carried out of the forest by several men working together. After pushing into the river, Lin Ji and the eagle jumped up first. The two paddled in the river for a while with their oars. Because they had seen the raft launch before, the tribesmen didn't have much feeling for the big canoe.

Da Ji and other people who have seen the boat of the Li bream department made a comparison, and felt that this boat was very similar to the Li bream department, but it was also different. The main thing is that it's a lot bigger.

Lin Ji rowed for a while, knowing that everyone did not understand the benefits of this canoe, so he shouted to the vermilion monkey and others on the shore: "Do you want to hold a raft faster than who?" ”

The red monkey was very competitive, and jumped on the raft with the stone beak to the river, and the two sides were slightly aligned, and then they each rowed downstream.

The raft rattled across the water, but the canoe moved briskly like a fish. It only took a few breaths for the canoe to leave the raft behind. Lin Ji controlled the oars and turned around, and after a few oars, he staggered past the raft and quickly returned upstream.

Bear Paw said on the shore: "There is this one...... Wooden boats, we can go back and forth to Meike twice a day. Catch is no longer a problem. ”

Da Ji said: "Now that the weather is cold, there are no more fish that stink, and it doesn't hurt to shoot more." There are many disasters this year, you have to work hard, this winter must always keep everyone warm for the winter. ”

"It doesn't matter if we work hard, it's just that we haven't seen anyone downstream, so it's ...... to fish in this pond."

"Our tribe is too small, and it is inconvenient to gather, so it is really not possible, so I can only go to Libi once in a few days."

As they spoke, a long cry came from the forest in the distance.

The tribe was all by the river, and no one would scream in the forest. If an outsider calls like this, it will be equivalent to knocking on someone's door in the future life, which is a sign of politeness. It is also a sign of normal visitation.

Da Ji thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid which tribe is coming...... We have newly built wooden houses and boats like this, and we don't know who is coming or it's better not to be exposed. Go to a few men and women to greet them in the forest, and then send half a basket of chestnuts over. Ask who is coming and what they are doing, and it is still early, so I won't invite them in for the night. ”

After listening to Da Ji's words, several tall men and several women with convenient bodies smiled and welcomed them into the forest. Hospitality or something, in addition to exchanging information, it can also be exchanged for other things.

Not long after, someone came back and delivered the news: "Here are the people of the gray wolf department, their wolf mother dreamed of the warriors and sent out a summons, and the time is set for this full moon day." ”
