i have a super island

Chapter 412 Quarrying
Facing such a boulder, everyone felt helpless.

Of course, you can use a stupid method, that is, use an ax to chisel bit by bit, but you don't know how long it will take.

James was very strong. He tried it with the stone axe and slammed it on the big rock. Unexpectedly, he broke the wooden handle of the stone axe.

"Feel sorry……"

Seeing the handle of the ax that was broken because of him, James looked apologetic.

Fang shook his head and said, "No, it's not your fault. It would be easy if we could have hammers and brazing."

If there are hammers and steel drills, quarrying is naturally not a problem, but the problem is that these two things are not available on the island, and it is impossible to have them at all.

At this moment, the two natives standing aside began to shout.

Lianna thought they were dishonest, so she immediately walked over to give them a little trouble.

Fang Fang stopped Liana, "Don't do anything, I think they have something to say."

Liana brought the two natives to the equation, and the two natives pointed to the stone, and then kept waving their arms.

Tang Guo looked at it in a daze, and whispered: "Are they dancing?"

"Dancing? It doesn't look like it. Are they gesturing at something?"

Fang Fang held his chin. The behavior of the two natives was a little weird, but it didn't look like they were dancing.

They kept pointing at the stone, and then waved their arms, did they want to give me a hint?Fang Fang suddenly thought of something. The two natives kept waving their arms, probably imitating flames.

These aborigines must have experience in quarrying. They don't have iron tools, so using flames is undoubtedly the most effective way.

After getting the hint from these two natives, Fang Fang laughed happily, slapped his thigh, and excitedly said: "There is a solution!"

Tang Guo asked curiously: "Brother, what can I do?"

"Use fire!"

"fire?"

"That's right, just use fire, use a big fire to burn, the stone will break when it is hot and dirty."

"That's right, the stone will be burnt and cracked when it's hot and dirty, and we'll be able to take it away." Tang Guo cheered and clapped her hands, "Brother, how did you come up with this idea?"

Fang Fang looked at the two natives and said with a smile, "They gave me the hint."

Unexpectedly, after these two captives came to the island, they worked and ate with everyone every day, and they can still give suggestions for the equation. It seems that the transformation of them during this period is still very effective.

Thinking of the method of burning with fire, Fang Fang immediately took everyone to find firewood.

It just so happened that the fragments of wooden boxes that were stored in the cave before could be used at this moment. When the things in the cave were moved a few days ago, those wooden fragments were all moved to the ground and piled up on the ground. Now they are just used to burn the huge rock on the top of the mountain.

After spending half a day, Fang Fang took everyone to move piles of wooden blocks, and buried the boulder densely in the middle.

All set up and finally the wood pile ignited by the equation.

In a short while, the flames were already blazing, and standing several meters away from the fire, one could still feel the scorching heat.

Everyone stared at the center of the flames, expecting to burn the boulder as planned.

Time passed by, and the boulder seemed to have been burned to the brim. If you listened carefully, you could hear the small sound of the stone cracking.

"Brother, can this method really work?" There was a hint of doubt in Tang Guo's eyes.

Equation said confidently: "No problem, it will definitely be successful, but now we have to do one more thing."

Tang Guo asked: "What's the matter?"

"Go get enough water."

With that said, Equation has taken a step ahead to prepare the water that will be used later.

When the firewood was burned out, the huge stone looked like a big red fireball, and Fang Fang took everyone to pour the prepared cold water on the stone.

When the hot stone met the cold water, the boiling water vapor was stirred up, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and it split from the middle.

It is not enough to just use incineration and heating to crack the stone. After pouring it with cold water, the distribution of cold and heat on the surface of the stone will be uneven, so the stone will crack.

Seeing the boulder crack, everyone danced and laughed with joy.

Then all the remaining water was poured into the cracks of the boulder, and there was a crackling sound immediately.

Everyone was grinning, and after so much effort, they managed to break free of the boulder.

As the two indigenous brothers who proposed this method, Equation paid them enough respect and patted their shoulders to indicate that they did a good job.

Receiving the approval of Equation, the two were very happy, nodding and bowing at Equation.

"Okay, now that the big rock has been cracked, all we have to do is break it into pieces and bring it back."

Fang Fang raised his arms and shouted, everyone was in high spirits, waved the stone axes in their hands one after another, and began to smash the torn apart boulder.

After smashing into finer pieces, it is convenient to build houses.

……

On the other end, Li Qingman led the crowd to the east of the island.

The first place I came to was the lime field. After the tsunami, it completely changed its appearance.

There used to be a temporary grass shed here to keep out the rain, but it is nowhere to be seen now.The large blast furnace used to burn lime was also washed out.There are also lime ponds filled with sand.

In short, the current place is a mess, and it will take a lot of effort to clean it up if it wants to restore normal use.

"Ms. Lu, can you handle this alone?" Li Qingman looked back at Lu Fengmei.

Lu Fengmei shook her head, with a look of embarrassment on her face, and said, "I'm afraid it can't be done by one person, so I need someone to help."

"Then who do you think will help you?"

"Ah Yue, he can build a blast furnace, it's more convenient to have him around."

Considering the importance of the blast furnace, Li Qingman agreed to Lu Fengmei's proposal and said, "That's it, Ah Yue stays, and the others follow me and move on."

After Ah Yue stayed, Li Qingman took Rebecca and Wei Lin to the previous sheep pen.

The fence of the sheep pen has been washed away by the sea, and the thatched shed next to the sheep pen has also been washed away. There is only a bare pen left here, which looks like a bald spot on the ground, which looks very strange. It is abrupt.

It goes without saying how important the sheep are to everyone. If it was not important, Equation would not risk his life to save the two sheep.

Now that the tsunami has passed and the island is recovering, how to house the two sheep has become a problem to be solved.

"Our task this afternoon is to tidy up here. Then rebuild the sheepfold that has been washed away." Li Qingman rolled up his sleeves and put on a posture of going to work.

Wei Lin looked a little nervous, and whispered, "Sister Qingman, actually I don't think it's good to build the sheep pen here."
