Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety-Four [Crafting Wood for a Boat - Whale (3/5)]

(Ask for a monthly pass!)

I made a detour and rowed the bamboo raft across. Wrap it around with a rope and pull it back with great effort.

There was also a large log that was pulled back together.

"The knowledge of physics tells us: the same object has the same volume, but the mass decreases, so the overall density decreases. If the wood is not hollowed out, it floats on the water, and after being dug into a canoe, it also floats. The difference is that when floating, the impact Buoyancy is equal to gravity, so by being alone in the water, the buoyancy does not increase, what really increases is the weight-bearing capacity of the trunk in the water."

Through water transportation, it is possible to carry heavy objects countless times greater than the strength of the human body.

After making a big circle and reaching the shore under a big tree hanging down to the sea, Chen Ergou didn't drag the log ashore without hesitation, which was unrealistic.

Wooden boats are to be built on the sloping sand stretching out to sea.

Chen Ergou was very cautious, he was used to being thoughtful when doing things, besides, a fool would know that this wooden boat would be very heavy after it was built, and it would be difficult to move it into the water even if it was a little farther away.

Using the principle of leverage again, using the coral reef as a fulcrum, he brought one end of the giant bread tree ashore, and placed the other on a black volcanic basalt rock offshore, parallel to the previous one.

Start processing and make canoes.

There is a big tree above the head, which was blown crooked by the typhoon. It was lucky to escape, but now it can help Chen Ergou to block the scorching sun.

He also began to slowly move the bamboo camp on the mountainside to the beach. Fortunately, the bamboo house built that day was foldable and movable, so it would not take much effort to dismantle it.

"With such a huge tree, it was a good choice to hollow it out and make a canoe. Even if it was dug into a canoe, no one would think it was really a canoe, because it was as wide as a small boat. "

"I have seen many boats of all kinds. The bottom of the boat must not be rounded, it will keep rolling in the water."

"There are roughly three types of canoes in ancient China: the first type is a flat-bottomed canoe, with a flat bottom, or close to it; the head and tail are square, and there is no warping. The second type is a pointed-headed square-tailed canoe. The head is pointed, turned upwards, and the tail is square. Its bottom is also flat. The third type is a canoe with a pointed head and pointed tail. The bow is raised and the tail is also raised. Today's ships are from the Three types of canoes evolved."

"These three options are actually all right, but judging from the shape of this bread tree, the first option is obviously more in line with my actual situation.

It doesn't add too much work either. "

"But to make it square, such a huge tree... well, cut it slowly."

With a "pa", the knife cut down, and the pieces of wood flew, as if it was easy to chop.

Chen Ergou introduced while working, saying: "In the Congolese jungle, we have seen the lightest wood in the world, balsa wood. Balsa wood belongs to the family Kapok, and it is also an arbor. Because the cell tissue in its body renews quickly, the plant All parts of the tree are extremely light, soft and elastic. In the desert, we have seen another strange wood—the baobab tree, which is also a porous plant. Compared with it, it is very light and cannot be used for wood."

"The bread tree is also an evergreen tree. Although it is not as light as the baobab, it is not as hard as the snakewood. Its material is also porous, which is for the convenience of water storage. This unique structure helps I, too, will reduce my workload."

Take a stick of charcoal and carve lines on the giant bread tree.

"Dig along the engraving line, and it will gradually take on the shape of a boat. In the ancient Chinese book "I Ching-Xi Ci", there is a record of 'cutting wood to make a boat', which means that a canoe is made of wood. "

Chen Ergou introduced with a smile: "The sun on the sea is too hot, I have to build a sunshade cabin, and an auxiliary ship, and a sail."

After careful calculation, I found that the workload is quite large. Looking at the coral stones around him, he suddenly landed on his bamboo house. "Wait a minute, maybe I can use my bamboo roof?"

He looked at the bamboo house, "It may not be possible to use it as a cabin roof if it is remodeled."

"I also have ready-made sails, which are paragliders." Chen Ergou planned excitedly. Then, his face sank again, "What do you use for the mast? The trunk of the coconut tree is too thick."

His eyes fell on the giant dragon bamboo piled up there, and he stopped hesitating, "This is undoubtedly the best material."

Solving the design problem means starting the harder work.

"The primitive people living in the Congo jungle, and even the tribal people in the Amazon jungle, they have a very traditional canoe making technology. If you go back, it can even be traced back to the Stone Age. Since then, they have been relying on this Boats. Their technique is almost perfect. Sometimes if the ax hits the wrong place, it will go through the bottom of the boat and you have to start all over again."

"The last step is to fire the entire hull, which makes the wood hard and less prone to decay. I can borrow that and use fire to help make it."

"And...if I finish the whole wooden ship, I'm going to name it the Whale!"

It doesn't take much effort to start a fire, let alone a fire on wood. He just needs to control the fire so that it doesn't burn the whole log.

Every time the knife is swung down, a large piece of sawdust flies out.

With his disdainful efforts, the huge bread tree gradually began to reveal its shape. The old wood is cut down and has a new look.

This work lasted for a full day and a half.

By the end of the next evening, he had been on the island for 7 days.

The whole person is inevitably tanned, but fortunately, he mashed the coconut into pulp and applied it on the skin to prevent sunburn.

However, when you see this new bread tree - no, it can be called a bread boat now. After seeing the brand new boat, all his hard work, all the sweat, felt worth it.

Chen Ergou sighed and said: "Although I have achieved a lot, I don't think I will build a canoe alone in the future. Bitterness and tears, this is not the work of one person!"

A "gift fireworks" shot up into the sky in the live broadcast room, and the barrage area was full of congratulations.

"Hahaha, Lord Dog doesn't cry, just pet the dog's head."

"Congratulations to Lord Dog for successfully launching the aircraft carrier Whale."

"One knife, one man, three days to build a canoe...Please accept my meniscus."

"666, mom, come out and see God."

"This manipulative ability is simply amazing!"

"Worship for you is like a torrential river, and it's like the Yellow River flooding out of control."

The camera kept shooting carefully before and after the entire hull. The entire hull is about 10.5 meters long, the hatch is about 2.9 meters wide, and the depth is about 0.65 meters. The rear end is 3.5 meters wide and 1.2 meters deep. This really doesn't look like a traditional canoe, but with the bamboo shed erected, it looks like an ancient boat with a black awning. "

The whole section of the bread tree is hollowed out, the outer wall is smooth and the wood grain is still there, and the inner wall is covered with coke and chisel marks, which are made by him after dozens of times of scorching with fire and then chiseling with a wild knife.

A sense of accomplishment!

He wished he could immediately set sail and escape from this cage-like desert island.
