Chapter 37: Stone Adze

Bringing Xiao Lan and Xiao Hei, the two came to the beach.

Ye Qing had to sigh, this system is just good at doing things, and when he came out, he encountered something.


A package lay quietly on the beach.

“Look, Ye Qing, there seems to be something over there.” Zhao Ling shouted excitedly, and people had already ran over.



Ye Qing wanted this kind of effect, snickered in his heart, but showed a very excited look on his face and ran with Zhao Ling.

“Wow… a lot, a lot…”

Zhao Ling was already incoherent. When Ye Qing arrived, she found that she was unpacking, and a bag of rice just appeared in front of the two of them.

This bag of rice weighs at least 50 kilograms. It seems that the system is really generous with what to eat.

“Hehe, it seems that you have good luck, you picked up something as soon as you came out.” Ye Qing “complimented” from behind.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah…”

While talking, Ye Qing found that there was still a package on the beach not far away, and pointed at it immediately: “Hey, look over there, do you still have something?”

“Where?”

Zhao Ling screamed and ran over, and after a while, he recruited Ye Qing excitedly.

In the end, under Zhao Ling’s “effort”, the items that Ye Qing exchanged at night were finally gathered on the beach, piled up like a hill.

Zhao Ling danced and screamed at the hill, like a child who had discovered the candy house. He was so happy that he couldn’t find the edge, and danced on the beach.

Ye Qing looked at it with a smile from behind, it seemed that this girl was indeed too depressed during this period, maybe this is her essence.

After a while, Zhao Ling’s excitement finally disappeared, and he frowned again, “Ye Qing, do you think these things floated over from the plane? Is it possible that the wreckage of the plane is here? nearby?”

In fact, Ye Qing didn’t know clearly about this question, because the dog system in his mind was the same as this island, very mysterious, and he didn’t know if these things were picked by the system from the plane.

After thinking for a while, he tentatively said: “Perhaps so, should we find time to search nearby?”

“Yeah.” Zhao Ling nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and said, “Maybe there will be other people.”

Ye Qing smiled. He is happy to see such a result. After all, there is a reward for exploration. Even if there is no such thing, he will find a reason to explore around.

The two chatted for a while, both of them said something and nothing, and finally called Xiaohei, and the helper moved the things back.

Exploring that is the next thing, and now the two of them have more important things to do.

Back in the cave, Zhao Ling could not wait to make breakfast.

After having the rice, both of them expressed that they didn’t want to eat only blue crabs. They said that Zhao Ling started cooking rice in the big pot, and then took advantage of this gap to pick up a few live seafood on the beach and cook them again. The soup is stir-fried again, and I am very busy.

Of course Ye Qing was not idle either, he was digging around the cave here and there, and after some tossing, he finally appeared in front of Zhao Ling holding a few stones.

These stones are all slab-shaped, all of the same size, only the size of a palm.

This was discussed last night, Ye Qing is about to start making adze.

Although the stone adze is the most primitive and easiest tool for mankind, there are still many places to pay attention to when making it.

The first is the selection of materials.

It’s not enough to just find a stone. The stone you find should have a certain shape, which can save a lot of polishing steps.

Next, pay attention to the texture and texture of the stone.

Of course, the material should be selected with a higher hardness, otherwise it would be a waste of time to fall apart with just a touch.

The texture of the stone is also very important. Ye Qing remembers that a philosopher put forward the concept of “marble with texture” before. This concept is very interesting. The rough meaning is that the stone that can be used for carving actually has the texture inside. There is a statue, the carver just slightly processed the original appearance of the stone based on this pattern.

This may seem like a joke now, but in fact, the texture of a stone plays a key role in what a stone can become.

Because stones are all crystallizations formed after the accumulation of rock formations for countless years, the texture of the stone adze needs to be particularly tight, and the blade surface must follow the direction of the texture, so that it is not easy to break when subjected to force.

Among the stones that he carried back, only three of them met Ye Qing’s standards after selection.

The next step is polishing.

Ordinary stones certainly can’t reach the standard of adze. What Ye Qing has to do is sharpen one of its ends to sharpen it.

And if you want to make a stone axe, you also need to shape the stones into a specific shape.

This is another meticulous work, and it takes a lot of time.

Zhao Ling came over and called him to eat, Ye Qing had no choice but to put down his work and return to the cave.

I have to say that Zhao Ling’s craftsmanship is really too good to say. The fragrant rice has been wrapped in leaves by Zhao Ling and placed on the ground. In addition, there are three different dishes with delicious colors, flavors and flavors.

There is a pot of soup in the big iron pot next to it, which is three dishes and one soup in the true sense.

In fact, Ye Qing feels that there is no need to make such trouble, just eat a little bit.

But Zhao Ling said that sometimes life must have a sense of ritual, in order to celebrate the so many things picked up today must have a good meal.

Ye Qing had no words to refute this, besides, these meals seemed to increase his appetite, and he would not have trouble with his stomach.

However, when I saw that the mineral water next to it had been down for more than half, my heart began to feel a little nervous. This time there was no mineral water in the mall update, which shows that the things inside are completely random, although the water can save a little bit. Stick to the next mall refresh, but no one knows if it will happen next time.

It seems that finding a long-term freshwater resource is really urgent.

Of course, it is also very important to want to finish what you are doing.

After a full meal, Ye Qing went back to the cave and began to polish his stone adze.

Fortunately, the stones he chose were relatively thin, and the shape was closer to the desired finished product, so he only took less than two hours for the originally relatively time-consuming step, and he found three fairly satisfactory stones. Adze, one of them was polished to look like an axe, which was used to make a stone axe.

The stone adze is finished, the next step is to try its power, and the handle of the stone axe also needs wood to be made, which happens to be done together.

Picking a small wood of the right size near the cave, Ye Qing began to work.

This tree is only half the size of the forearm, not too thick. Although the stone adze is the easiest tool, it can be cut down easily. For this, Ye Qing is still very satisfied with the results of his work, rather than using a saber. Slowly sharpened too much. *
