023 Drill wood for fire
"First of all, we need some materials, one large and one small, two sticks, a few stones, and a fire primer."
Raiya led Kasiu into the forest.
"Sticks and stones are easy to say, and we have to choose some dry ones, preferably birds' nests, etc."
"There are a lot of birds on this island, and it's not that difficult to find a nest, you see there's one!"
Kaxiu looked in the direction pointed by Lei Ya, and saw that the tree was about three or four meters high. There is a bird's nest in the middle of the three vertical forks, about the size of a head.
"I'll leave it to you." Raiya patted Cassiu on the shoulder.
As soon as the words fell, Cassius ejected. After a few strokes, it reached a height of three or four meters to the trunk of the tree, like a large monkey.
In less than three seconds, he jumped from it, holding a dry bird's nest in his hand.
"Good job."
"Oh, and there are two eggs in there!"
On the screen, the prompt appears again.
"Congratulations, you've completed the collection: 60 times."
"Collection (top): 600/2500 animals"
"Gathering (Up) Mastery Increased"
"Collection (Part I): 660/2500 animals"
This is a windfall......
Next, the two also found a few small stones and put them in their pockets, and one walked home with a twig.
Home here refers to an unusually rudimentary broken cave.
It's more difficult to start a fire on the beach, where the constant sea breeze can cause you to fall short when it matters!
"The first step in making a fire is to use this pencil-sized stick as a drill pipe and polish it with a stone. But it's more convenient for us to have a knife......"
Raytooth sat on the ground, picked up his saber and slashed the stick flat and straight until the surface was smooth.
"In the second step, we use this larger stick as a drill board. Assuming that the drill hole is selected here, a groove should be carved into the edge of the side end. It is convenient to pour out the embers drilled out of the drill pipe from here......"
Raytooth picked up another stick and slashed it a few more times, then placed it on the ground. Several large stones were also placed on the left and right sides to press down and hold the sticks in place.
"Third, take a dry leaf and place it underneath the borehole. When that is done, take the embers of the plate. ”
"The fourth step is to start drilling, we need to put the drill pipe vertically into the hole, and the hole can be simply poked with a knife. Then hold the lever with both hands and poke it repeatedly...... Cassiu, look at my current moves. ”
Lei Ya opened his bow left and right, and his hands rubbed together rapidly. Without twenty years of singleness, hand speed and arm strength would never be able to do this! In fact, Raya has been single for thirty-five years......
"We didn't spin too fast at first, and then we gradually picked up the pace. It's best to put a few pebbles into the borehole to increase the friction between each other......"
Cassius watched the Thunder Tooth operation, and after about two minutes, smoke kept coming out. The Thunder Tooth continued to turn, and a large amount of smoke was coming out of the borehole.
"Okay, I think it's almost successful...... We now pour the embers from the leaves into the nest. ”
Raiya gasped for breath, and he carefully held the nest with both hands, slowly blowing into it until the flames appeared. A large amount of white smoke also came out from behind the nest.
"Got it? You also give it a try. ”
Thunder Fang stepped directly on the bird's nest, extinguishing the flames that were already about to start burning completely.
Cassiu immediately took over and began to drill into the fire.
A verticality symbol appears on the screen, as well as a sign of the amount of force used. Shunan can change the value by moving the mouse and sliding the scroll wheel in the center of the mouse.
Unfortunately, Cassius drilled for thirty minutes in a row without success, and only some faint white smoke rose.
"Hasn't it worked out yet?"
Raiya came out of the woods, a fish in his hand with a wooden spear in his hand, and there was some schadenfreude in his tone.
Maybe it was because yesterday Kaxiu was making rapid progress in everything, which made him feel a little envious.
"It doesn't matter if you don't succeed, after all, nothing can be achieved overnight...... It took me a few days to learn this stuff at that time. ”
Lei Ya said a few words of comfort as if he was satisfied, and then went to the side to light a fire and prepare the grilled fish directly.
Xiunan watched through the screen as Thunder Tooth lit up the fire in less than three minutes, muttering in front of the computer.
"If you let Lao Tzu succeed once! Not to mention this little fire, I can burn this island to the ground! ”
Success once is equivalent to success 30 times, assuming success once in three minutes. One hour of Kaxiu is equivalent to drilling wood to make fires 600 times, and the number of times he has lit fires with his bare hands is estimated to be more than twice as many as Lei Ya.
Next, Cassiu tossed for more than half an hour, and finally a ray of fire burned in the bird's nest!
"Congratulations, you've completed the fire: 30 times"
"Fire (B) Mastery Increased"
"Fire (B): 30/60 times"
The next step is very simple, thirty times of experience in drilling wood for fire directly made Kaxiu skip the novice period.
The second success was very fast, and it took less than five minutes to get the fire up. The fire skill breaks through from the lower level to the intermediate level, and the operation becomes more proficient.
The third time it took three and a half minutes, and it took less than half an hour to get the skill of drilling wood for fire.
"Congratulations, you've completed the fire: 30 times"
"Fire (I): 480/500 times"
"Fire (I) Mastery Increased"
"Fire (I): 510/500 times"
Thunder Fang next to him was already dumbfounded, because it only took less than two minutes for Kashu to raise a fire.
The hands are fast and steady, spinning like spinning tops.
After a while, the flame of kung fu rose.
Cassiu stood, and next to him were three or four pitch-black nests, each of which had been used five or six times.
"I have to say, you're such a genius!"
Raiya handed over the fish that had already been grilled.
The two sat directly by the fire and ate the grilled fish. Xiu Nan in front of the screen looked at them with relish, and his stomach, which had obviously been filled, began to pantothenic acid again.
Although he knew that grilled fish without seasoning was not delicious, and it might even taste burnt and fishy.
"Forget it, I still don't order takeout......"
Shunan shook his head, his attitude extremely resolute.
Fifteen minutes later, the phone screen lights up.
"Hey, who?"
"Is it Mr. Xiu with the tail number ××××? Your takeaway has arrived, and I've left it at the doorway. ”
"Oh......"
With a beep, the phone hung up.
Shunan walked back to the bedroom with a barbecue bag and opened it to see a golden cumin grilled fish.
Time flies quickly, and not long after Shunan finished eating the grilled fish, the game ushered in a second night.
Cassieu slipped out again and continued with the ancient fitness method that was said to have been dug up in prison.
