Chapter 49: Building a Raft
"Rejected?" Thomas frowned deeply, "What reason?" ”
Anna held a stack of materials in her arms, held her glasses with one hand, and said cautiously: "The headquarters means that the losses caused by the first few actions are too great, and unless you can come up with a plan that is enough to convince the shareholders, they will not agree."

"An A-class explorer as a team leader is not convincing enough?"
"I'm afraid this ......"
"A bunch of bad old men!" Thomas snorted and got up to look out the floor-to-ceiling window, "Faced with a huge treasure trove of creatures, but never able to conquer it, what is the point of our division's existence?" ”
Anna lifted her glasses, thinking to herself, if this continues, it will be a matter of time before the branch is dissolved, maybe it will choose another location on this planet, maybe it will quit directly, in short, the shareholders will not allow too many resources to be spent on the difficult bone of Tesoro.
"Could it be that we have watched the people of the Great Wall Gene act, and we have been doing nothing?" Thomas is still babbling and complaining.
Anna glanced at him and said, "By the way, the head of the Great Wall Gene Branch is leading a small team, which is currently on the Navi Coast. ”
Thomas looked back: "What the hell is that woman trying to do?" Do you want to lead the team into the jungle yourself? ”
"No, she's greeting the streamer."
"Oh, that Chinese monkey...... He's not dead yet? ”
"He's not dead, and he's found the Tsoro River."
Thomas pouted disdainfully, "The Tesoro River runs through the jungle, and it's not unusual to find it. If you could get out of it along the river, then countless people would have successfully crossed Tsoro long ago. ”
Preconceived notions blind you. Anna looked at him and thought.
"If you don't believe me, let's take a look." Thomas glanced at her, opened the virtual screen, and entered Zheng Guo's live broadcast room.
After shielding the barrage, he just glanced at it, and he burst out laughing.
"Look at his embarrassed appearance, he looks like a mud monkey!"
Anna didn't speak, quietly looking at the screen.
She became more and more impatient with her boss, who never looked at things on the surface, and insisted on going his own way, which was destined to not be a big thing.
The word job-hopping has been lingering in her mind for a long time.
Zheng Guo's image at this time was indeed not good-looking, dressed in tattered clothes and covered with sludge.
Thomas stopped laughing, turned up the volume, and played with the taste: "Let's see what tricks this Chinese mud monkey can toss." ”
"Fellow sailors, I'm going to take the waterway again, and if nothing else, this will be my last leg of my journey in the Tesoro Jungle."
"Heh, it's not a small tone." Thomas lit a cigarette and smiled.
He has been under a lot of mental pressure these days, and he thinks that he should be a monkey, at least he can relax his mood.
"First of all, I'm going to build a sturdy raft. There should be a type of balsa wood found in the vicinity, which is a good material for making rafts. ”
Zheng Guo held a dagger in his hand, cut through thorns and thorns, and searched along the riverbank for the wood he needed.
"Balsa wood is very common on this planet, similar to the arbor family on Earth, it grows very fast, and can grow from a small sapling to a 10-meter-tall tree in a year. Because it needs a lot of water during the growing season, it usually grows next to a water source. ”
"Some water friends may know that there are similar trees on the earth, because the density is extremely low, and the insulation effect is very good, and it is widely used in aviation, shipping and other industries."
Thomas snorted, and two puffs of smoke erupted from his nostrils: "Bored guy, I don't understand why this kind of live broadcast is watched by people, how barren the spiritual world of the Chinese people is." ”
Anna did not respond.
She has been paying attention to this anchor and knows where he is brilliant, and she can't understand a sentence or two, so she has to watch it herself and experience it herself.
"Found it!"
Zheng Guo suddenly shook his hand, and the dagger flew out of his hand, and with a soft click, it was inserted into a tree a few meters away.
The tree grew straight, barely forked, and its foliage was not luxuriant.
"Insect carving skills." Thomas commented.
Zheng Guo walked to the tree, circled around, looked up, and said: "This balsa tree is not very old, only five or six meters high, and the thickness of the bowl mouth, it is just right to use it to make a raft, it is not appropriate to be too thick and too long." ”
Thomas pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and sneered, "Shall I see what he uses for logging, this dagger?" ”
Anna poured him coffee, then stood silently back in place.
Anyone with common sense knows that balsa wood has a low density and brittle wood, but the hardness is not low at all, and it is impossible to cut it down smoothly with an ordinary dagger, even if you have to use it, it will probably take half a day.
Some well-known new viewers also thought of this question and sent barrage questions.
"I walked over and remembered, what the did I use to cut down trees, hahahaha I feel so happy when I think about it."
"Didn't the anchor discover the river and make him dizzy? That's embarrassing. ”
Zheng Guo's fans taught him a lesson with the attitude of an old-timer: "If you want to mix here, you have to keep one thing in mind, don't question Guo Ye at any time!" ”
Zheng Guo looked at it, took half a step back, stood in front of the tree with his legs one in front of the other, his left fist poked out, and his right fist was closed between his ribs.
As soon as they saw this stance, fans immediately knew what he was going to do.
"The newcomers keep their eyes wide open, hold their chins, you have a blessed eye."
"Is Guoye's porter here? Prepare the recording. ”
"Here, the camera is in place!"
The newcomers all looked confused, and they couldn't understand what this group of people was excited about, and what the anchor meant by posing in that strange pose.
Just when he was confused, he saw the anchor rush forward and punch out.
Bang!
Sawdust flying.
Camera zoom in, close-up.
The audience found out that half of his fist was sunk into the trunk of the tree!
Looking at the anchor again, his face did not change, as if the hand was not his.
Damn, this fist is made of iron! The newcomers were shocked.
But even more shocking is yet to come. Zheng Guo withdrew his fist and gently pushed on the trunk of the tree, and the light wood with the thickness of the bowl mouth was directly broken at the waist and fell to the ground.
This punch actually broke the internal wooden layer!
Thomas squirted out a sip of coffee, staring at the virtual screen, barely speechless.
After a long time, he looked at Anna with a shocked face and pointed to the screen: "Just now...... What is it? ”
Anna helped her glasses: "Well, it should be Huaxia Kung Fu." ”
Thomas was completely frightened, swallowed his saliva, and asked thoughtlessly: "Will all Chinese people do this?" ”
Anna was completely speechless.
This guy just doesn't know Huaxia at all. Please, before you compete with others, at least get acquainted with each other.
Thomas stared blankly at the screen, feeling that the three views had been strongly impacted, and his brain was in chaos.
This guy looks weak, how can he burst out with such great power?
Could it be a super soldier secretly developed by the Huaxia people? He's a superhero??
Thomas pinched his chin nervously, suddenly becoming anxious.
Zheng Guo found two other balsa trees of the right size, concocted them in the same way, shook them with a fist, dragged them back to the river, broke off the excess branches and leaves, peeled off the bark, and tore them all into long strips.
"Balsa bark is tough and can be used to tie rafts. Rafts can be rudimentary, but they must be strong enough to withstand turbulence. ”
He didn't know how much he had to go next, and if the raft fell apart halfway through, it would be troublesome.
Zheng Guo broke the three balsa logs one by one from the middle, so that he had six balsa logs of about three meters, which was the main part of the raft.
Place six balsa logs parallel to each other, one fist apart from each other. Ten flexible branches were then found, five of which were placed horizontally above the balsa wood and the other five were placed underneath as a connecting skeleton.
Finally, it is carefully tied with bark and a simple raft is formed.
