After crossing the road, the big guy teaches online how to be a man

Chapter 550
Since the plan is to cross the river, then find a way to make a tool for the river.It’s impossible to build a decent boat, and all of them don’t have that ability, so they decided to use local materials to make a simple raft, as long as it’s strong enough to cross a river of more than 100 meters There should be no problem.

That night, Yuansi, as the captain, gathered the team members for a meeting to discuss.After all, it is the first time for them to make a raft, so materials and techniques still need to be discussed.

Yuansi asked everyone to express their opinions. Although no one except Yuansi had ever made rafts themselves, they all grew up in rivers or ponds when they were young. Some opinions of my own.

In the end, Yuansi saw that the talk was messed up, and there was a faint tendency to digress, so she hurriedly started to popularize the knowledge about rafts for everyone.

"The most important thing to make a raft is to choose materials. The selected materials can keep floating on the water. There are many materials that can be used to make rafts, such as reeds, balsa wood or bamboo, etc..."

Before Yuansi finished popularizing science, Xiao An raised her hand curiously and asked, "Captain, what kind of wood is balsa wood?"

"Basa wood..." Yuansi felt that they might not understand too much, so she chose the simplest explanation: "It is a kind of very light wood, it grows fast, the trunk is tall, and the leaves are a bit like sycamore trees. The flowers are a bit like hibiscus flowers, and the fruits are like cotton..."

The team members were still confused, as if they didn't understand, what is the lightest wood, isn't the wood all the same, how can it be divided into light and heavy, and the height of the trunk, they looked at it vaguely The trunks of the big trees around me are tens of meters high.

One said that the leaves are like sycamore trees, what is a sycamore tree, they have never seen it.They have never seen even hibiscus flowers, even cotton.

"It is the lightest wood in the world. It has good floating performance and is easy to move, cut and operate. It is the most suitable material for making rafts. Moreover, its bark is easy to peel off into strips and can be used directly. It is used as a rope to bind the raft. However, we have patrolled several times before, and I have never seen this kind of tree along the way, so I don’t need to consider this kind of raft.” Yuansi said.

"Ah, then there's no need to talk about it, Captain, you can continue." Xiao Chang said quickly.

"Then we can use bamboo, but the bamboo forest is on the other side of the river. There is no one here. I guess it won't be used this time." Standing by the river, you can see a large bamboo forest on the opposite side, but they are on this side of the river. It is to quench thirst with plum blossoms.

"Then what materials can we use now?" Xiaowei asked.

"Wood." Yuan Si glanced at him, thinking that such a simple question still needs to be asked, what a stick, "We are in the forest now, there are not many other things but more wood, so let's make rafts."

"Okay, let's make the raft." Everyone was afraid that the captain would say something they couldn't understand, so they cooperated and shouted, that's all.

After eating early the next morning, all the team members started to move.

Everyone went nearby to look for relatively straight and relatively thick branches, and soon found a lot. After all, it was in the woods, and there was no shortage of these materials.

Then Yuansi taught, and several other people started to make wooden rafts on the spot.

In fact, the floating performance of wooden rafts is not very good, and they don't have fillers that can increase buoyancy, so making wooden rafts is not the best choice.

It's just that the materials are limited now, so we can only make a wooden raft first, and send people to the opposite side, which is the bamboo forest, and then use bamboo to make a buoyant bamboo raft.

The designers all have the heart to deal with it, so one can imagine how rough the wooden raft is.

Six logs with a diameter of about ten centimeters are arranged in a line, and as many branches as possible are placed vertically on the top to completely cover the thick wood below, and then fix them with pulled vines. A simple wooden raft is ready up.

Everyone worked together to push the wooden raft into the water, and Yuansi was the first to stand on it.

"Okay, you guys wait here first, the buoyancy of the wooden raft is not strong enough, let's cross the river twice."

So everyone crossed from one side of the river to the other side of the river twice.

When everyone got to the other side, Yuansi asked someone to drag the raft ashore, and then dragged it into the woods to hide.

This thing can't be put carelessly by the river, not because it is afraid that it will float away by itself, but because it cannot provide convenience for the enemy. If the enemy sees this thing by the river, using it to sneak across the river is not to cause trouble for their own people .So you have to hide it well, and pull it out when you use it.

When we got here, everyone repacked their bags and continued their patrol mission.But their goal is very clear, go directly to the direction of the bamboo forest.Because Yuansi still misses the bamboo raft.

On the other side, I saw that the bamboo forest was on the opposite side, but when I got to the opposite side, I found that the bamboo forest was not right in front of me, and there was still a long distance to walk there.

Yuansi led the team to walk for a day, and then arrived at the bamboo forest. She looked at her watch, and it was only five o'clock in the afternoon, and said, "Okay, let's rest here today, and I will take two people to patrol the vicinity to see if there is any There is no danger, Xiao Chang, you take people with you to get some bamboo in the bamboo forest. Let’s make a bamboo raft before it gets dark.”

Yuansi was not very satisfied with the wooden raft she made earlier, so she thought about making a sturdy one with bamboo.

"Yes." Xiaochang didn't know why the captain was so obsessed with the raft, but since the captain gave the order, he had to complete the task.

So the two groups split up.

Yuansi took Xiaowei and Xiaowang, and carefully inspected a circle within a diameter of 300 meters around the campsite they were preparing to camp.They all knew in their hearts that this side of the river was more dangerous than that side, and for their own safety, they couldn't let go of any trouble.

Fortunately, their luck was not bad, this bamboo forest was huge, and they found no danger in the range they wandered around.In the process of wandering around, Yuansi also bundled her mental power into a bundle, and kept checking outwards as she moved. It can be confirmed that no enemy troops were found within a diameter of 500 meters of the temporary camp. One tablet should be safe.

After walking around, the tense bodies of several people relaxed a little.

"Captain, it's safe nearby," Xiao Wang reported.

Yuansi nodded.

"It's safe to be safe, but after walking this big circle, I haven't seen any wild animals. What should we eat at night?" Xiaowei grabbed his hat and fanned it, feeling a little depressed.

The weather here is really hot. It's still February, and the mountains in his hometown are still covered by heavy snow, but the high temperature here is more than 30 degrees. How can there be reason.The most important thing is that he felt that he was going to eat bran swallowed vegetables at night, so he was not very happy.

Now they have formed a regular pattern. When they came out, the compressed food they brought was used as a staple food. They didn’t have time to cook at noon. Eat some wild game for dinner.

This job is also done in turns, but it is recognized that the day the captain is in charge of patrolling, their food will obviously be much better.

I thought that the team leader's trip today would improve the food, but I didn't expect that there was nothing in this bamboo forest except bamboo.
