89.Chapter 89: Into the Mountain
Two days later, Ding Chen, who was carrying a huge backpack, stood at the edge of a forest, looked at the telephone poles that were faintly visible with the undulations of the mountain, wiped his sweat and said, "That's it for today, we camp here." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
It's been two days since they've been out and their destination is the legendary wind farm.
When Ding Chen left the apartment, Su Ying's caravan finally arrived at the apartment, and Ding Chen also met the legendary caravan leader Cheng Bin.
Cheng Bin is not tall, his figure is very well-proportioned, and there is nothing to say about his appearance, he is a very ordinary person. There was no aura on him that resembled the aura of a tyrant or a merchant's philistine.
From Cheng Bin's mouth, Ding Chen learned that Su Ying and Wang Po had returned to the place of departure with the people they bought. Cheng Bin had to take the rest of the caravan to complete the planned trade trip.
Obviously, it was not a wise choice for the caravan with a third of its men to continue the journey, but Cheng Bin's attitude was resolute, there were many places like apartments waiting for them along the way, and as merchants, they had to maintain their credibility and complete the established route unless they were forced to do so.
Of course, they will also stay here in the apartment for a few days, bringing the revolver delivered by Xu Shuidong and the ammunition reloaded by the apartment.
Ye Dai needed to preside over the work of reloading bullets, and of course there was no way to leave at this time, so Ding Chen originally planned to go on the road alone. But since he had become the prospective son-in-law of the apartment at this time, of course Dad and the others refused to let him go out on an adventure alone, so they insisted that he bring a helper.
The apartment was already short of manpower, and no matter who Ding Chen chosen, it could disrupt the normal work of the apartment, so in this case, he chose Rogge again. In order not to make people feel that they are using the public for personal gain. So he also brought Zheng Yu with him.
No one in the apartment knew the way into the mountain, but Ding Chen was not worried that he would not find the location of the power station. The endless power poles in the field can show him the way. The only thing that can't be determined is how far this journey will be?
Ding Chen has always adhered to a cautious and cautious attitude towards outdoor activities. The last time I survived in the wilderness after falling into the water with Ye Dai, it was a last resort. Since he was able to prepare this time, he naturally wanted to make as much preparation as possible. Truth be told, after three years of wandering in the wild, he had no desire to repeat this romance at all.
Thanks to his conservative spirit, the three of them carried a lot of things when they came out this time, from the tarpaulin for camping to the lunch box for cooking. Doing so will increase their load, but it will minimize the danger they will encounter when camping in the wild.
Rogge followed Ding Chen out this time, with another mission. She hopes to find materials to make bows and arrows.
Many people think that the elasticity of a bow comes from the bowstring, but in fact, the elasticity that the bowstring can provide is limited, so the factor that determines the strength of a bow actually depends entirely on the elasticity of the bow arm.
Ding Chen himself uses a metal bow, but the materials suitable for making metal bows are hard to find. So in fact, whether it was Ye Dai or Rogge, they used to use wooden bows.
According to the traditional bow making process, the body of a wooden bow is usually made of a combination of woods, and it can take several years to make a good wooden bow.
Not to mention that Ding Chen didn't have this skill, even if he knew how to do it, he couldn't have so much time, so he hoped to find a good enough wood for Rogge to directly make a single bow to use.
To achieve this, the material requirements for bow making are very high. If the elastic deformation coefficient of the bow arm on both sides is different, there will be a slight difference in the elastic force generated during the restoration process, which will affect the direction of the arrow. That's why Ding Chen took Rogge with him, hoping to find the right wood during this long trip to the mountains.
Among the three people, Zheng Yu is the only one who has no experience in camping in the wild. Although he often went out on patrol with the soldiers of the apartment, he rarely spent the night in the field. Even if you have to stay in the wild while hunting, you will choose a pre-planned campsite. In addition to being safe, there is inevitably a lot less sense of adventure.
So this time following Ding Chen, Zheng Yu was the most excited. Of course, whether this excitement is because you can experience wild camping, or because you have Rogge by your side, it is very debatable.
After walking for two days in a row, they were now in the mountains. Look at the dense woods around you. Rogge couldn't help but start worrying.
In the past, she, Huang Cheng and others also went deep into the forest belt for hunting. Losing manpower in a strange jungle is secondary, and the most terrible thing is getting lost, which is likely to lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
Ding Chen has a compass in his hand, but he is not worried about losing his way. But finding your way through the jungle is still not easy. Every once in a certain period of time or when he was changing his direction, he would mark it in the notebook he carried with him. This practice is similar to the nautical diary of an ocean-going ship in the era when there were no satellite positioning devices, relying on recording mileage and direction to calculate its position.
Not to mention Zheng Yu, even Rogge has never heard of this kind of thing. Naturally, it is a very new thing for them.
Unfortunately, this way of recording involves a lot of mathematical knowledge, especially after they enter the mountain, and after they start to involve height, the plane geometry directly becomes solid geometry. This made the two young people who didn't even recognize a basket of big characters quite a headache, and they felt completely confused.
Ding Chen tried to explain it to them at first, but then he simply gave up this futile work and concentrated on recording the data himself. The other two people gave up earlier than Ding Chen, and for them, the wild survival experience that Ding Chen explained to them was obviously much more interesting and easier to understand than this kind of boring data recording.
By this time, Rogge had no doubt that Ding Chen had ever been a scavenger, and in her opinion, only a person like Ding Chen could survive alone in the cruel wilderness.
Now that they heard Ding Chen say that they were going to camp, the other two people immediately took action and acted separately according to the process that Ding Chen taught them along the way.
From this point of view, this time it was much easier than Ding Chen's experience after he fished out Ye Dai from the river last time. It's just that so far, the degree of tacit understanding between them and Ding Chen is far less than that of Ye Dai after the injury.
Of course, a very important reason for this is because whether it is Ye Dai, Luo Ge or Zheng Yu, they are all warriors themselves. Both in terms of physical fitness and skill, it is much stronger than the average person. If Ding Chen had brought Li Jing out this time, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy.
In comparison, Rogge's learning speed is obviously faster than Zheng Yu. However, this is not to say that Zheng Yu's learning ability is worse than Rogge's, he is just too eager to show himself in front of the goddess, so he often rushes to do something to add to the snake, but the busier he is, the more chaotic he becomes.
