Chapter 237: Asphalt Bridges and Opportunities to Solve Transportation Problems
Early the next morning, Wang Hao and the others set off early. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info On the road, everyone met a herd of wild boars again.
The two sides passed by, but it was obvious that the wild boars had lived comfortably for too long, and they really couldn't be vigilant against Wang Hao and their group of people who were as thin as hemp sticks.
As everyone knows, Wang Hao is watching these wild boars drooling.
Pigs on the earth grow to a maximum height of half a person under normal circumstances, but the wild boars on Zhenmo Island have grown to a person's height as if they were hormones, and from a distance, this group of wild boars looks like a herd of cattle.
In Wang Hao's opinion, with so many pigs, how much meat can there be!
After most of the morning's trek, Wang Hao and the others finally came to the shore of the lake that looked like asphalt.
It's also very hot, but it's a far cry from MONOCULUS's side. As long as people don't enter the water, even standing on the shore is not much of a problem.
The edge of the island on this side is two or three miles away from the shore of the lake opposite.
The asphalt seeped out of the bottom of the lake and piled up to the surface of the lake. An asphalt bridge is formed between the edge of the island and the shore of the lake.
Asphalt in nature is usually divided into two forms, one is solid and the other is liquid.
The asphalt, on the other hand, is semi-liquid.
It seems to be frozen on the surface, but it is soft when you step on it.
As soon as the asphalt bridge approached, a disgusting smell came from it.
But fortunately, Wang Hao has been prepared, sponge grass not only has the effect of absorbing water, but can also be used to filter the air, and the effect is much better than those inferior masks on the earth.
Cover it on its nose and tie it up with thin rattan sticks, although it still has a strange smell, but it is already within the range of tolerability.
The asphalt and asphalt by the lake, there are many traces of wild boar activity. One of the asphalt nests looked extraordinarily large. That's where the boar king usually sticks asphalt.
Wang Hao stepped on it. Although it was soft, people did not fall into it.
Since wild boars heavier than humans can pass through, then people can naturally pass through as well.
Wang Hao decided to use the asphalt bridge to go to the other side of the lake to have a look, and when he was on the top of the mountain yesterday, he saw something. It's just that the trees are too lush to see the whole picture, and he hasn't dared to be sure.
If he confirmed it with his own eyes, Wang Hao felt that maybe he would be able to find a way to transport asphalt.
The asphalt bridge is definitely not a good road.
Not only did it refer to its disgusting smell, but also because they hadn't gone far before Wang Hao and the others saw a wild boar stuck in the asphalt, with only one head exposed, making a painful roar.
The ground is soft, and no one knows whether the place they are stepping on is solid or liquid underneath.
To be on the safe side, the heavy black black knife and the fishbone long knife were thrown in place. Wang Hao: They only carried iron swords and bows and arrows.
The group was lined up in a straight line, and there was a distance of two meters between each person.
And between people, they are all connected by ropes.
Fortunately, Wang Hao is so cautious. Asphalt bridges simply cannot be justified.
The asphalt bridge is three or four miles long, and everyone walks in fear.
Not only did those who took the lead in exploring the path often fall in, but even sometimes, when it was clear that someone had walked in front of them, when it was the turn of the rest of the people, the bottom was empty.
The suction power of asphalt is comparable to that of a swamp. Once you get into it, you can't break free on your own. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was connected with ropes, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.
Along the way, the crowd kept seeing the remains of animals. Most of them were wild boars, but when they got close to the shore, they saw other carcasses.
There was even a four-meter-long saber-toothed tiger that was hunting a wild boar, and both sides got stuck in the asphalt and died together.
The whole asphalt bridge, the middle part of the road is the most dangerous. In the very center, there is basically liquid asphalt, forming an oval-shaped asphalt lake. From a distance, Wang Hao could still observe that in the middle of the asphalt lake, there was constantly asphalt emerging from it.
The whole was only three or four miles away, and Wang Hao and they walked for two hours. When they arrived at the shore of the lake, everyone seemed to have collapsed, lying on the ground exhausted one by one, their faces full of the appearance of the rest of their lives.
"Hao, let's make a raft when we go back and go back from the water!" Wang Hu's words made the corners of Wang Hao's mouth twitch.
Such a simple method, I didn't expect it, and I forcibly pulled everyone around the gate of hell.
Although asphalt is not a highly toxic thing, it still has an effect on plants.
In this area of land on the shore, because of the pollution of asphalt, there are basically few plants that can survive here.
Everyone still ate in the morning, Xie Old Man and they were fine, but Wang Hao and they were hungry.
Looking for food in the forest is the old man Xie's specialty, and several Xie villagers climbed a few trees at the edge of the forest, jumping around on the trees like apes, and disappeared from everyone's sight after a while.
Looking at their agile movements, Wang Hu and the others were amazed.
Wang Hao didn't care about how the people of Xie Village were looking for food. He took Wang Hu and two clansmen and walked towards the forest.
Old Man Xie was a little afraid that they would lose their way, so he followed in person. Anyway, this polluted place has a wide field of vision, and there is no need to worry about being attacked by wild beasts, just leave a few people on fire.
Yesterday, when he was at the top of the mountain, Wang Hao saw that there was a pool of water less than 100 meters on the shore of the lake.
Because it was hidden by trees, he didn't know if it was a river or a lake.
If the water Wang Hao saw was a river, then he was at least seventy or eighty percent sure that the river was the big river behind Wang Village.
If the situation is really as Wang Hao guessed, then the only bad thing about Demon Suppression Island has been solved.
With the help of water transportation, the people of Xie Village on Zhenmo Island can easily transport the asphalt and some things on the island out.
In this way, the biggest troublesome transportation problem is solved.
As for the issue of ships, in the system, wooden ships belong to the second level of technology, whether it is a giant sailing ship that can be used for sailing, or a wooden assault ship used to race speed, it is no different from an ordinary iron sword.
The water level of the big river is deep, but the water does not flow fast.
The beach behind Wang Village is relatively shallow, but it is also more than four meters deep.
Therefore, if Wang Hao saw that the water was a big river, he could spend an additional two days of faith power to download a big boat and use it for transportation.
Judging from the panoramic map in Wang Hao's mind, his location is less than fifteen kilometers away from the location of Wang Village.
Even if the waterway is a little more tortuous, you can run two round trips a day with an empty boat. (To be continued.) )
