Chapter 705 Fungus Harvester
what's the situation?
Why did the arbor suddenly become so soft again?
Seeing this, Chen Xu looked overjoyed: "Great, our raft has been found!"
After finishing speaking, he chopped dozens of knives excitedly, the bark split open, and the audience discovered that the wood core inside had been somewhat rotten.
"As early as the first day when the rainstorm fell, I told everyone that in the tropical rainforest, many giant trees have already died long ago, but they are still standing on the ground with the help of vines."
"When there is a heavy rain, some trees will collapse due to the erosion of the rainstorm. The tree in front of me is exactly like this. It should have been corroded to death by insects such as ants."
"And now, the ants have already left. It can be seen that most of its wood core has rotted and softened, while the outer wood is still very hard, which can be used as our shipbuilding material!"
Shipbuilding materials?
The audience still didn't understand, not to mention that rotten wood can't be used to make rafts, and, with such a big tree, how big a raft would have to be built!
"It's not a raft, it's a canoe!"
Looking at everyone's questions in the live broadcast room, Chen Xu explained: "In subtropical regions, such as Borneo, New Guinea, and Malaysia, the most commonly used means of transportation for primitive tribes is canoes."
"A real canoe is cut out of a large tree that is intact, without splicing, and it is all done in one go. Therefore, whether it is the requirements for wood or the skills of chopping, it is very important strict."
"Sometimes, once the wrong place is cut, the entire tree will be scrapped. This kind of craft is usually completed by more than a dozen craftsmen in the tribe, and it takes several days."
"The degree of complexity and the energy consumed are destined to make the canoe rare. Not every member of the tribe can own it casually. I only have one person. If I want to chop a tree into a canoe, it may take a month. It can be done!"
"However, this arbor with a rotten core in front of me can just save me a lot of trouble because it is hollow and hard on the outside. I can make a canoe in less than two hours!"
After listening to his explanation, some viewers realized that there are indeed water tools such as canoes.
"666, it turns out that primitive tribes are just like us, not everyone can have their own means of transportation!"
"In primitive tribes,
Is it true that owning a canoe is equivalent to owning a Ferrari? "
"Fuck, isn't the canoe a good tool for picking up girls? Fungus harvester?"
"23333, are women in primitive tribes also so materialistic?"
"They are the most realistic ones, okay! Whoever is bigger... Oh no, whoever is stronger will follow whoever is, simple and clear!"
...
Chen Xu never imagined that the audience would be able to see the canoe from this angle, it's crazy!
In the following time, he started a crazy "canoe construction plan".
Although there is no axe, BTK's machete blade is thick and easy to chop, and it is purple-quality equipment, which has a sharpness bonus. It is relatively easy to deal with a rotten wood that has long since died.
"The canoe is formed in one piece, which is similar to the shape of a boat, but it is more slender, so the front and back must be closed. This requires a high level of chopping technology. If you chop it wrong, it will leak!"
"Fortunately, this dead wood is only rotten in the center, and the wood at the head and tail is relatively strong, otherwise I wouldn't choose it!"
After finishing speaking, Chen Xu increased his strength and kept chopping.
Perhaps the manufacturing of this thing is really difficult. During this period, from time to time, a reminder of "experience value +1" came from his mind, which turned out to be from the tool-making skill!
Right now, his toolmaking skill is only lv4, and his current experience value is 23/500.
After about an hour of hard work, he finally chopped off half of the entire arbor, and hollowed out the rotten wood core in the middle.
He then began putting the finishing touches on the head and tail.
The head is made very pointed, just like the bow of a simple boat. The principle of this is to reduce the resistance of the water flow to the boat and make it easier to navigate.
As for the tail, Chen Xu only made a flat treatment.
In the end, a canoe about four meters long, half a meter high and wide, and five centimeters thick, with a bluish-yellow color of wood and shaped like a sharpened pencil, was finally created by him.
"call……"
It took him a lot of energy to hack and chop for an hour. After wiping the sweat from his forehead and drinking some water, he continued, "We have already carved the shape, but this is only half done."
"Watching my live broadcast, you should know that I have often emphasized that burning wood will carbonize the wood and make it harder. This is also the case for making canoes. After the wood is carved and chopped, it must be smoked with fire."
"The purpose of this is to make the canoe stronger and less likely to rot after it is launched into the water."
After speaking, he dragged the canoe back to the campsite.
At this time, the advantages of the canoe are reflected. It is slender and small, like holding a piece of wood, and it is much more flexible than a raft.
Then, Chen Xu found a lot of wild grass from the surroundings, piled it up, surrounded the canoe, and started to light it with fire.
From the inside to the outside, every corner was completely burned, and it took half an hour.
After finishing, the original greenish-yellow wood has now turned into jet black, which looks quite exquisite!
"Master Xu is simply amazing, so beautiful!"
"Could this canoe break the spell of 'the sun will sink'?"
"Hahaha, Master Xu spent so much effort to build a canoe, it would be interesting if it was crushed by a giant catfish as soon as it entered the water!"
"Congratulations to Lord Xu for getting the equipment [Canoe]: Durability: 10, Speed: 8, Defense: 7, available for advanced hunters."
With the new boat, Chen Xu is also very happy.
Afterwards, he used palm trees and balsa wood planks to make a wooden pulp, and then, with a fishing rod, spear, and Buddleia, he went to the lake outside the swampy jungle.
to the edge of the swamp.
Chen Xu pushed the canoe into the water, took off his clothes and shoes, and stepped on it with bare feet, while the body of the canoe still held him firmly and floated on the water.
very successful!
He looked happy, and immediately walked to the back of the canoe, stepped on the left side of the canoe with one foot, and stepped on the side of the canoe on the right side with the other.
Seeing this scene, the audience was puzzled.
Why didn't Lord Xu just sit in the canoe?
Isn't dragon boat rowing all sitting down?
Although this canoe is a bit crowded, it is not impossible to sit, there is no need to stand, and one foot must be stepped on the side of the boat!
Facing everyone's doubts, Chen Xu said with a smile: "My current posture is actually the way of driving a canoe!"
