Chapter 255: The Hammer is Competent
Chu Xintian also kept talking to Niu Li, comforting them, and telling them that under the protection of the wolf mother and the hammer, they would not encounter any wild animals.
Chu Xintian had already told the wolf mother that she was going to the mountains to cut wood and build a house.
After all, she had always felt that Kitayama was the territory of the wolf mother and that she had to get her permission.
At this time, the mother wolf led them to a dense taiga.
Chu Xintian asked Jiao Tiezhu how much wood he needed to build a three-in, three-out house.
Jiao Tiezhu and Chu Xintian simply calculated that each room in the main house needed two or three beams, and they were all load-bearing frames. Therefore, they must be stronger. It is best to use wood with a diameter of one foot. Purlins are used to fill the structure, not too thick, but a straight and strong trunk should be used.
There are at least forty or fifty beams in a house with three entrances and three exits.
Hundreds of purlins are needed.
Beishan is densely forested and rich in resources, but the workload is not small.
Chu Xintian decided to make a work plan first.
They should choose a suitable place to ensure that the trees they cut down can be transported smoothly down the mountain.
Working a few hours a day not only ensures productivity, but also doesn't make everyone work too hard.
After all, although Chu Xintian paid for this job, Niu Dazhuang and Li Fusheng came to help not only for money, but also for feelings.
Chu Xintian also chose a few forests before, and finally chose this coniferous forest.
First of all, Chu Xintian thinks that the wood in this coniferous forest is very good. This trunk is suitable for building a house. It has a thick trunk and can be used as girders as well as purlins.
The condition of the timber is qualified, and the most important thing is that Chu Xintian thinks that the location here is very good.
It is a slope on which all the trees grow.
At that time, the wood could be rolled down the hillside to the foot of the hill as long as the felled tree was lowered along the hillside.
In this way, they do not need manpower to transport heavy trees down the mountain, which will save a lot of time
After selecting the tree to be cut, Li Fusheng and Niu Dazhuang took out an axe and a long saw and began to work.
Cutting trees is also very skillful.
Depending on the direction in which the tree fell, cut off a quarter of the gap with an axe. Then, on the other side of the gap, the two men worked together and began to see-saw.
When only a small part of the connection between the trunk and the stump remains, with one more push and the trunk falls in the direction they planned.
In this way, no one will get hurt.
At that time, all the branches were cut off with an axe and a small saw, leaving only the trunk, so that it was a single piece of wood and could be used.
A few years ago, Niu Dazhuang went to work as a lumberjack in the mountains. He has a lot of experience.
He explained his logging experience to Li Fusheng, and they rolled up their sleeves to prepare for work.
Niu Dazhuang and Li Fusheng are both very strong people and very capable. They had axes, and it didn't take long for them to cut a gap in the tree, and then they picked up the long saw and started sawing.
Hammersawing is also a work of skill and strength.
The tree they chose was a girder, so the trunk was thick. It takes a while to fully saw.
The two ran in for a while, and the work became smoother and smoother.
As they were working, they suddenly heard a rumbling nearby, followed by the rubbing of tree trunks, branches, and leaves.
It was a big tree bigger than the one they sawed now, and it fell.
Of course, the tree did not fall on its own, but was cut down with a hammer.
The method of cutting trees with a hammer is very simple, he does not use axes and chainsaws like Niu Dazhuang and Li Fusheng at all, and there is no complicated process.
The hammer has only one dagger in his hand.
The one-foot-thick trunk of the tree, and as soon as he swung it a few times, the tree fell to the ground with a thud.
Li Fusheng and Niu Dazhuang couldn't help but open their mouths wide when they saw the way and appearance of logging.
They felt that the two of them were cutting down trees fast enough.
How could they have imagined that it was truly amazing that a hammer could cut down such a thick tree with the strength of a man and a dagger at such a speed.
