Chapter 236 Rafting plan(2/2)
Build a raft?
The audience was stunned when they heard this idea.
[Why build a raft? Will Lao Fang continue to raft? 】
"That's right." Bi Fang nodded, "I hope to find a real continent, but rely on this small island that is not as big as a villa to survive."
[It’s not surprising at all, I’m used to it. Even if Lao Fang tells me now that he wants to fight a whale hand-to-hand, I still feel like, that’s it? 】
[Already familiar with the routine, hahaha.]
【Go to hell!】
【giaogiaogiao, Fang Shen is so awesome!】
"The life raft is too unstable. If there is a small hole, I will face the trap of a shipwreck. I really don't feel safe."
Bi Fang pointed to the life raft not far away, and many spectators nodded repeatedly. Indeed, not to mention encountering any sharks, even if you encounter a slightly larger fish, a bite may cause the life raft to leak.
It's completely over, there's no way around it.
But rafts are different. A good raft can effectively drift on the sea. Even if it encounters a slightly larger shark, it will be fine. Reality is not a movie. The great white sharks in the movie do not exist in reality. I think most of them are just a bite.
If it doesn't taste good, just leave, and the life raft is afraid of just one bite.
“Building a raft depends on the materials you have available, the conditions of the water you want to float in, and the length of time you plan to float.
There are no hard and fast rules to follow here. Use your common sense, good binding techniques and some things that can create buoyancy, and you can build a very good raft."
"To do this, we need to collect enough logs or bamboos of roughly the same length and stack them on the ground according to the shape of the raft.
Carve a groove 1 meter apart from both ends of each log or bamboo, and stack them up and down so that there is a certain amount of 'pressure' between them.
If you are using bamboo, dig a hole in each bamboo instead of a groove. Pass the bamboo through the hole to keep the bamboo tighter."
Bi Fang squatted on the ground and started picking up stones. The resources on the island were these twenty-three big trees. He didn't need so many. The trees were all very tall. The main trunk of one tree could be cut into four or five pieces. There were still many left.
Thinner branches can also be used, about five branches are enough.
If they are all cut down, it is not certain whether trees can still grow on this island. Without big trees to block the sea breeze, it is difficult for small saplings to grow. Five trees will not affect it.
But even though it didn't affect him, Bi Fang still thought silently in his heart that he could only cut down the trees for his rafting plan.
【How to cut down a tree? Do you use a stone ax?】
[This stone doesn’t feel as useful as flint, it’s just an ordinary kind]
"It's quite ordinary, but it's enough. And I don't plan to make a stone axe."
Bi Fang threw the stone in his hand. The stone ax was unreliable and difficult to sharpen. The tree was very thick. Once it was sharpened and chopped, it would easily break. However, the stone ax was not sharp enough to cut hair, so he had to use a chisel to cut through the tree.
.
All that is necessary is a stone chisel and a stone hammer. Both are easy to make. The bark is rich in fiber and can be twisted into a rope. A stone hammer can be made by tying a stone to one end of a tree stick.
"But for the sake of firmness, we need to do a little processing. First, split one end of the stick, and then stick the stone inside, so that it will be stronger after being tied."
Bi Fang erected the tree stick, pointed the sharp stone at one end, and then hit the end of the stone chisel. The tree stick cracked. He opened the crack, stuck the stone inside, and tied it with a rope.
, a high-quality stone hammer appears.
After waving it twice, Bi Fang nodded with satisfaction. It was very handy.
[I felt relieved when I saw Lao Fang had a weapon in his hand]
【Top lumberjack online】
【Go, go, go!】
With the tools, the great task of logging has just begun. Bi Fang now draws a line at the bottom of the tree, and then grinds a hole that can be inserted into the main stone. After fixing it, Bi Fang stood up, knocked it twice to align, and then
Raise the stone hammer and slam it towards the end of the stone chisel!
The originally weak stone chisel instantly dug into the tree by about one centimeter and became extremely strong.
It seems to work.
Bi Fang nodded and swung the stone hammer even more vigorously. Every time he swung it down, there was a sound of breaking wind. After the stone chisel was half submerged, he grabbed the stone chisel and shook it from side to side before pulling it out.
"When cutting wood in this way, remember not to break more than half of the stone chisel, otherwise it will be difficult to pull it out. About a small half is enough, and then we just switch to the other side. Repeat this several times, and a tree can be chiseled out.
Break."
Bi Fang turned at an angle and inserted through the crack, swinging a stone hammer like a French cannon. Soon, the bottom of a tree was torn apart, and the whole tree became crumbling. He kicked it and broke it directly.
.
The sound of wooden stems breaking was heard, tall trees slowly fell to the ground, and the entire island trembled.
Looking at the trees under their feet, the audience was amazed. How efficient is it?
Bi Fang wiped his sweat and walked towards the trees in the second lesson.
Throughout the afternoon, the audience watched Bi Fang cutting down trees. Every time a tree fell, the entire island trembled.
After cutting down four trees, Bi Fang stood up and planned to make some first. If possible, maybe four trees would be enough. Then he would follow the same method and break down the trees into logs, which were about two meters long.
.
This process lasted until the evening. Only then did Bi officially obtain a pile of logs, the processing process was completed, and the next step was the top priority.
Chapter completed!
