Section 11 Cave Storage
The trunk of the "KC Cedar" is thick and straight, not only the average height is comparable to that of the CCTV Building, but the thick trunk makes people feel like they have nowhere to start - it is not so much climbing trees as rock climbing, or climbing the kind of cliff that is about 90 degrees straight up.
In this case, almost all methods that rely on ropes, branches, and friction are ineffective, and the only way to climb up is to find another way. Looking at the big tree and thinking for a while, Chen Zheng probably had a case in his heart.
At first, Chen Zheng's idea was very simple, which was to punch a hole in the trunk of the tree, then stuff a wooden stake into it, then drill a hole in it, and then set a wooden stake, and if it was repeated, the wooden stake would form a spiraling staircase.
The advantage of this method is that it is convenient to go up and down, just like a staircase, and you can climb very high places with this method, but the disadvantage is that it is too time-consuming to punch holes and make wooden piles, and Chen Zheng just hides something, and he doesn't have to hide so high.
However, when you have time in the future, you can find a tall tree and build a "ladder" that can climb the treetops, which can be used as a watchtower and shelter.
Chen Zheng's final decision was to build a ladder.
Or more precisely, find two branches of the "branch" level, tie the top of the tree in an A-line shape, and then use a bark rope to wrap it back and forth between the two pillars of A, and finally turn it into a simple ladder.
Compared to the amount of work that could take weeks to build the ladder, Chen Zheng took less than an hour to erect the ladder.
Although even if you climb to the top of the ladder, it is only 8 meters high, but for the time being, such a height is enough, after all, Chen Zheng has not seen any land creatures so far, nor has he found any birds, he is the only one who is panting within a radius of a few kilometers, and it is also a precaution to build a tree hole now, if it is hidden too high, it will be very inconvenient when you take it yourself.
After climbing to the top of the ladder, Chen Zheng did not rush to work, but first made a hole in the tree, inserted a piece of wooden stake with a safety rope, and then tied the safety line with the rope "vest" he used to use as bait.
After all, at this time, Chen Zheng was at the height of three or four floors, which could be regarded as a high-altitude operation, so he had to be careful in terms of protection.
After trying to be firm enough, Chen Zheng began his work.
The sharp lightsaber easily cut through the bark of the tree, and Chen requisitioned it to open a "door" on the trunk of the tree about one meter six high and one meter two wide.
Carefully peeling off the rectangular bark completely, Chen Zheng dug inside.
For the next few hours, he dug a passage through the low door, and when he had enough space, he went in to widen and deepen, and threw the severed pieces of wood outside.
The wind outside the tree cave gradually rose, and Chen Zheng, who stayed in the tree hole and was digging, suddenly felt that it should be good to use this tree hole as a shelter......
But he soon gave up on the idea.
It's warm, but it's too wet. The wood inside the tree has not been dried, and the moisture sucked up from the ground and the cold wind blowing in from the poorly sealed doorway at night make it strange to sleep in such an environment without rheumatism!
Shaking his head, he dispelled his unrealistic thoughts, and continued to expand until he dug out enough space, packed and transported those large and small strange fish crystals under the tree, and was busy up and down for a long time before hiding all the crystals in the tree hole.
But that's not the end of the story.
Chen requisitioned a few wooden planks to fix the whole piece of bark that had been removed, and then carefully hung it up the tree hole with a bark rope, carved a few holes above the inside of the tree hole, and tied it firmly with the wooden plank that fixed the bark.
After struggling to put the door back in place...... Chen Zheng looked left and right and nodded with satisfaction.
However, the loose-leaf door made by Chen Zheng that uses the bark rope as a connection mechanism now looks okay, but such a simple movable mechanism is very easy to wear, of course, that is a matter of the future, and in the absence of screws and loose-leafs, it can only be made like this.
Chen Zheng did not remove the wooden stake used to secure the safety lock, but buried the bark rope in it and nailed the entire wooden stake into the trunk. In this way, when Chen Zheng wants to use the crystal, he doesn't have to build the bulky ladder, just climb up the rope. As for the rope or the treasure that does not reveal Chen Zheng...... is still the same sentence, Chen Zheng will be able to breathe within a radius of a few kilometers, and this is enough.
The pile of damp wood under the tree was collected by Chen Zheng and thrown into the campfire. The sky had begun to get darker, and Chen Zheng happened to smoke the fish with these wet firewood.
After a tiring day, Chen Zheng returned to the snow cave with the hot stones.
Despite getting food, despite having a powerful lightsaber, and even having much more strength than before, Chen Zheng was still under pressure in an alien planet. To survive in a strange world, it takes not only hard work and caution, but also luck.
If he hadn't had any good luck, Chen Zheng would have starved to death.
Through the last two explorations of the surroundings, Chen Zheng deeply felt how lucky he was! As soon as I came to this world, I saw the huge strange fish, and I was lucky enough to hunt it before I fainted from hunger. The strange fish not only provided Chen Zheng with tons of meat, but even brought Chen Zheng an incomparably magical crystal.
When Chen Zheng discovered the magic of those crystals, he really had the confidence to survive in this world.
This night, he slept very soundly.
There was no restlessness, no nightmares, not even the blue dream, and I slept until I woke up naturally.
In the early morning, the star in the sky had already begun to crawl into the air. Chen Zheng got up and made himself a bowl of delicious fish soup, lay on the table and studied the wooden tablet map, and after a long time straightened up, put on his equipment and set off on his skis and snowboards.
He carried the grilled fish fillet with the residual warmth in his arms, because he was going to explore farther today, and he would not be able to return to the camp at noon.
……
The stars in the sky crossed the midheaven and gradually began to fall to the ground.
In the midst of the snow, a figure suddenly appeared in the razor-like canyon.
I saw that he had a tool for drilling wood for fire and a wooden map hanging from his waist, a tattered black suit, and a withered yellow woven helmet on his head...... The whole image of a savage. However, the wild man wore a handsome pair of windbreakers......
…… This strangely dressed savage is naturally Chen Zheng.
When he climbed high and looked far away before, Chen Zheng found that the terrain and landform here were strange, and noticed the redness. But because of the distance, he didn't go this way.
Finally, after a morning's trek, he came to the red canyon covered with snow.
