Chapter 34: Semi-Automatic Traps

In order to prevent the stored food from being stolen and eaten again, Wang Yang decided not to hesitate, find a good place, and hide it.

The idea had been around for a long time, and if everyone realized that they didn't have enough food to store, they had to go hungry once.

If they try their best to gather food and put it in a cave, they won't feel the lack of food at all.

It's just that this idea has been going on because there is no suitable place.

What's more, Wang Yang didn't get enough food at all.

After hastily collecting the nuts, he slept in the barrel all night.

As soon as the next day dawned, he carried a wooden barrel full of chestnuts on his back, and a wooden barrel for hunting on top of the barrel, and set out on the road with a bone spur and a wooden spear and stone knife.

After reaching the dense forest of white bones, he stopped, put down the barrel containing the chestnuts, and prepared to dig a hole.

The reason why this place was chosen is that there are no animals approaching, and there is no need to look ahead and backward to dig a hole.

Secondly, because animals are scarce, food can reduce the risk of being snatched by other animals.

After putting down all his equipment, he took the wooden barrel that made the trap to eight meters away, picked up the leather strip, and began to dig a hole.

Choosing to dig a hole to hide food is also a helpless move, and it may be a bit stupid, but with the existing conditions, you can only bite the bullet.

He grabbed the stone knife with both hands, brushed aside the bones on the ground, and slashed it.

In this era, there were no good digging tools, and Wang Yang did not have the idea of making hoes, so the stone knife was a relatively handy tool.

It is said to be a stone knife, but in fact it is a slightly polished stone chip, one end is flat and the other is large, and the big end is held by hand.

The soil here is very fertile, the geology is relatively soft, and it is easy to dig, and it took half a day to finally complete a 70-centimeter-deep pit, and after putting the barrels down, it was not immediately filled with soil, but continued to excavate.

After digging for more than an hour, Wang Yang was so tired that his hands and feet were sore, he was sweating profusely, he looked at the barrel trap eight meters away, and sighed deeply.

There were no animals in the trap at all, and it was so desolate that it didn't look like a forest.

"One pit took me half a day's work, and two more pits, a total of one and a half days."

"Staying here is equivalent to not collecting any food for a day and a half, and even if I go on a stimulant diet and dig all the holes in one day, it is equivalent to wasting a day."

"I still have to go fruit picking, it will take a day there, I have to find food sources again, I don't know how ......many more days it will take."

"Judging from the fact that the temperature is getting lower and lower, it will snow in less than ten days, where can I find food then?"

Time was pressing, and there was no way to waste a little, so Wang Yang began to use his brain again.

He looked in the direction of the dozen or so fruit trees, although there were many small animals, if he went there to dig a pit himself, no small animals would come close.

And the back is the mountain, the front is the primeval forest, digging a pit and have to be vigilant around, greatly delaying the efficiency of the excavation, unreasonable.

But here, even worse, you can't even see a bird.

You have to think of a compromise.

"It would be nice to have a fully automatic trap, like a rat trap, and the rat gets caught as soon as it goes up. But doesn't this thing need a spring? ”

Wang Yang thought for a long time, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he stood up suddenly: "There is!" ”

It is said that dogs can jump over the wall in a hurry, and rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, which shows that everyone is forced, and if they are in a hurry, they will burst out with unprecedented abilities.

Wang Yang was the same, he suddenly thought of a way to take care of both ends.

As we all know, large traps like mouse traps, or traps ambushed on TV, cannot identify whether they are live objects coming, they are just triggered by external forces.

To put it bluntly, even if you throw a stone in the past, it will be clamped.

So, if you can use external forces, why can't you use them on wooden barrels? No one ever said that a mechanism must be a spring.

After getting rid of the dead end of inertial thinking, Wang Yang suddenly became enlightened.

He set up the barrel trap, put the fruit in it, and muttered to himself, "There are two key points to the barrel, the small branch that supports the weight of the barrel, and the fruit inside. ”

"If the other animals knock down the branch while holding the fruit, they will be covered by the barrel."

"So, how do you design it so that when the animal gets the fruit, it knocks down the branches? These two things are not connected at all...... Alas? Connect? ”

Wang Yang patted his head and said happily: "Yes, I won't let them connect if they are not connected!" ”

Thinking of this, he picked up a branch from the side, flattened one end, sharpened the other, and then strung the fruit to the pointed end.

Then put the flat end at the junction of the barrel and the supporting branch, and use the pressure of the barrel to make the branch with the fruit strung horizontally in the air, and this small mechanism is made.

In this way, the fruit is associated with the supporting branches.

As soon as the little animals entered, they must touch the fruit in the air, and at this touch, the branches moved, and as soon as the branches moved, the supporting force changed, and they could not hold the barrel, and the barrel was covered.

"Why didn't I think of that before? Too stupid, too stupid! ”

Wang Yang was in a good mood, so he quickly got down and tried it, and sure enough, as soon as the fruit moved, the branch fell.

He hurriedly ran to the dozen or so fruit trees, and when he was done, he ran back to the bone jungle and dug a pit with great energy.

After calculating the time, he ran over in about half an hour.

I saw that the wooden barrel had covered a small animal, and it was constantly struggling inside.

Wang Yang observed the surroundings and saw that there were no other animals in ambush, so he hurriedly ran over, took out the wooden spear and stabbed it randomly, and solved the battle in minutes.

waited for the inside of the barrel to be blood-red before it opened.

It turned out to be a pheasant!

Wang Yang smacked his lips in amazement, the first time he knew that pheasants still eat fruit, he designed this, he wanted to deal with moles, civets and other small animals.

Anyway, it's good to catch it.

He quickly put away the pheasants, rearranged the traps, and returned to the Bone Jungle.

Half an hour later, another creature was tricked.

When I opened it, it was a civet cat.

He was happy, and he had long understood that the group of civets was not very willing, and often wandered around, reluctant to leave, but now it was good and became his own food source.

Put it away and set it up again.

He went back again.

Half an hour later, he came again.

This time, no small animals were found to be hooked, and when I looked down at the fruit inside, I found that it was intact, and it should have not attracted the attention of the small animals.

After going empty once, Wang Yang was not depressed, and went back to continue digging the pit.

In the past half afternoon, Wang Yang has been running back and forth between the two places, intermittently catching six small animals, which makes him very happy.

With extremely efficient tools, it shouldn't be difficult to scrape a lot of food.

(The suggestions made by everyone are actually very good, which has opened my mind, opened my eyes, and helped me a lot, thank you, thank you.) )
