I haven't been able to leave here with such a good opportunity today, and the chance of wanting to leave in the future will only be smaller, and I'm basically dead set on it!

If you don't give up, you can't live with meaningless fantasies every day, which will greatly affect the progress of various work.

Life is back to normal, but the expectation of whether or not to leave is lower, and the mood for changing the conditions on the island for the better is more enthusiastic.

It can also be said that I want to make life more convenient, after all, I used to think about leaving and not fully integrated here, but after today, I am completely dead set on leaving, and the transformation work is more hard, and the mentality is different!

This creates a series of problems, the first of which comes to mind is to make the island smaller, like the earth becomes a village.

It must not be that I cast a spell to make the island smaller, and if I had that ability, I would have flown away long ago.

I want to improve the transportation on the island, build more, wider, and flatter roads to make it easier for normal traffic and improve the safety of walking in between.

The second is to make a vehicle, which I can use to get anywhere on the island more freely and quickly, and I can also use the vehicle to transport it, changing the way I used to carry it on my shoulder!

Not being able to leave made me more determined to start the construction work, but this series of plans is very large and cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Fortunately, the road repair work started last year, and the first phase of the project was completed before the end of the year.

If this length is expanded by about five times, almost the entire area of the island can be included in it, and then you can really reach any part of the island quickly!

The recent temperatures weren't suitable for building roads, and the work was only going to be done in the cool winters, so I wanted to cancel the other activities and build a car first.

Don't think I'm too bad, I know my weight and I can't make a difficult vehicle at all.

For the time being, all I'm going to do is a wheelbarrow to help me transport my cargo!

......

During the harvest season, there are grains such as corn and flax, and heavy goods such as saltpeter are also transported, so it is not easy to transport them.

Not only are there a lot of them, but they are also far away, so when building roads, I was thinking about cars, and the first thing that came to mind was to build a wheelbarrow.

After having a load-bearing vehicle, I don't have to carry it on my shoulders, which is much easier for me, and not only will it not be troublesome to transport in the future, but it will also be fun!

With all the materials I have and the knowledge of the wheelbarrow that I have in my head, the process may be a bit tortuous, but there is a good chance that it will be finished and put into use.

I think the chance of success is more than 90%, and this is not my blind confidence, but the result of many calculations.

Wearing parts such as axles can be completely completed with metal, wheels can be framed with wood, rubber is covered with the outer layer of the wheel, and other structures can be completed with sanded and cut wood.

In addition, its structure is relatively simple, and you can even draw clear drawings in your mind, so naturally there will not be much trouble.

Because when I was a child, I had a unicycle at home, and I pushed it to play when I was fine, and the structure and performance were very familiar!

Thinking of its huge effect, and it makes me regret it a little late, I should have made it a long time ago, and it would not have been transported in the most primitive way until now.

If I had been able to make it recently, I would have been able to dig sweet potatoes and would no longer have to carry them home in a basket, but would have pushed them home on a wheelbarrow.

The structure of the unicycle is generally very simple, and even the brakes can be chosen not to be used, and the simplest way can be used.

Among them, the most difficult may be mainly the axles and wheels of the wheels, and the round wheels should be the most difficult to be processed with wood and then spliced and polished into a circle, and a thick layer of rubber should be added.

The axle is actually an iron rod, which is nothing more than to polish it many times to make it smoother, and the production is relatively simple.

......

Although the shelf above is a large amount of work, the difficulty of making it is very easy, and my confidence comes from my knowledge of it, and it is precisely because I know that I have a grasp of it that I decided to make it.

The first thing to make was the axle, which was directly smelted with iron to produce a round iron rod with a diameter of two centimeters and a length of twenty centimeters.

This is followed by the wheel, which has a cylinder with a diameter of 20 centimeters and a thickness of about 10 centimeters in the center, and then a hole is made in the center so that the axle can just pass through and rotate in between.

This is followed by a few supports for the wheels, which of course are best suited with several square sticks of the same size.

After the main structure of the wheel is completed, the prepared rubber is molded into a circle just the size of the wheel, and its width and thickness are required to be very thick, at least more than five centimeters.

When solidifying, the wheel is directly fixed between the molds, so that it is trapped in the rubber on all sides, and after solidification, it will be completely wrapped by the rubber for a week.

Wheels made entirely of wood are actually competent, but they can't withstand bumps at all, and the slightest pebble may make the car jump up and cause it to roll over.

Therefore, it is still safe to wrap the wheels with rubber to absorb shock, and there is less tossing when using.

As for the structure where the goods are placed in the upper part, there is really nothing to say, it is all about cutting the wood into blocks of different sizes planned in advance, and then splicing them one by one.

As long as there are no big problems with the wheels and axles, the car will not have much of a problem with practicality, and some small problems can be made practical by slowly modifying them.

At first, I didn't even want to brake, but in the end, I still didn't omit this step, although it was done relatively poorly, and the experiment proved that its effect was only a little better than nothing, but it was better than nothing!

The process of making a unicycle is not too physically demanding, and there is something fun to be had.

Some things are very complicated to do, some things are very boring to do, but some things are more fun, the process of building a unicycle is very fun, every time you overcome a difficult point, every time you complete an additional structure, it is a small victory.

......

Of course, it was not a short waste of time, and I initially thought that it would be possible to make it in its entirety in about five days at most.

It's been a week since I got it completely up and tested it, and the most troublesome part is not the wheels, but the frame.

Many of the wooden structures on the schematic drawings took a lot of time to complete, and the most troublesome piece of wood was scrapped three times, and it took a day to complete!

Fortunately, the complicated process is over, and the finished product is successfully made.

Of course, the wheelbarrow that took seven days to make did not sit idle, and I pushed it on the repaired road for more comprehensive experiments as soon as possible.

It's like a playful child who has just gotten a toy of his choice and can't put it down.

The empty car ran fairly smoothly, except for the "crunching" sound of the axle position from time to time, the wheels slightly shifted to one side, and the pure wood structure was relatively bulky, nothing else was a problem.

The axle can be lubricated with oil, and the wheel can also be trimmed with some extra rubber, except for a little bulky and difficult to solve, other small troubles are properly handled.

It was much easier to set off empty-cared again, and the next thing was to drive with a load, this time not a test, but really went up the mountain and dug thousands of pounds of saltpeter to be transported home by car.

The result of the comparison is really not so good-looking, it shows how stupid I was before, a wheelbarrow can easily carry two hundred pounds to transport home, and the distance of five or six hundred meters only takes less than ten minutes.

I believe that adding another hundred pounds of weight is not much of a problem, but the handling is a little more than worth the loss, and it will be heavy.

In addition to its practical capabilities, one of the things that won my heart even more was that it could be used as a recreational activity.

Life is still too boring now, and after the fishing tools are dragged away by the fish, this entertainment activity is almost over, and the probability of success of the fishing tools you make is very low, and there is not much fun at all.

You know, now I have a huge fishing trap and don't have to worry about catching fish at all, and if fishing isn't for fun, it doesn't make much sense!

......

Having a unicycle can also be used as a kind of entertainment, after all, most men have a mysterious love of driving, whether it is a large airplane in the sky, or a train on the ground, to a small bicycle, and even a child's toy car can play for a long time.

As for me, do you think there will be any entertainment for a lonely man who has lived on a desert island for many years? I couldn't be happier to get a unicycle!

The success of making a unicycle has also boosted my self-confidence, and I already have plans to make a bicycle that is a better tool to pass the time.

I don't know when it will be, but it's not the time yet, because I'm ready to continue building the road, and there are still too few wide and flat roads on the island.

Recently, the temperature has dropped so much that poisonous snakes and the like are gone, so it's time to restart road construction.

There is still about half a month before the sweet potato harvest, and I am confident that I will be able to increase the smooth road on the island by more than a kilometer on the existing basis.

The island is still too large to walk in, and if it were reduced to half of the current size, I was confident that the island would be transformed into a more satisfying one.

Since it can't be reduced, it can be regarded as a reduction in area by making it more developed in terms of transportation.

Half a month later, the sweet potato was harvested, and its yield was only at a normal level.

I don't care much about its yield, the yield will be stable without accidents and weather, and I am more concerned that the wheelbarrow is used again, and the sweet potatoes don't have to be carried home little by little like before.

The results in this half month were not much different from expectations, adding nearly 1,500 meters to the flat and wide roads on the island.

Now there are about three or four thousand kilometers of flat road on the island for me to walk on a cart, and I can ride a bicycle if I have it.

I also have to sigh at the geographical advantages of Crocodile Island, even if such an idea was born on the island, it could not be implemented, because except for the relatively flat beach, the rest of the place is all hillside!
