Under the cover of night, Bi Fang was sweating profusely, chipping away at the logs with a sledgehammer, trying to break them into logs of the same size as soon as possible.

There is one thing that Bi Fang has never told anyone else, that is, he has mild obsessive-compulsive disorder...

If the length of the logs is different, and the difference in thickness is too large, it will feel very uncomfortable, and on this basis, more effort will be consumed.

However, this is not completely meaningless. If the logs are of suitable size, the raft will naturally be stronger and less prone to accidents.

Well, that's right, I did this just to be safer. To survive in the wilderness, Fang Shen takes the lead!

[I spent a whole day cutting wood today, and I actually spent a whole day looking at it. It’s unbelievable]

[Lao Fang can certainly make a name for himself as a part-time lumberjack. My house just happened to be renovated recently. I would like to ask how much does it cost to hire Lao Fang to cut furniture? 】

[Big hammer is eighty, small hammer is forty]

[Wuhu? So cheap (dog head)]

[Why did Lao Fang remove all the bark from the tree?]

"Because I want to use bark to make the rope. Bark is the best plant fiber. They are all needed to tie the raft. Moreover, plant fiber is not afraid of water and will even become stronger when exposed to water."

Bi Fang used up his last bit of strength to raise the sledgehammer high and slammed it down.

There was a crisp crackling sound.

The big tree beneath my feet broke in response.

"Phew, finally all the cuts are done."

Bi Fang wiped the sweat from his forehead and did not sit down on the ground to rest immediately. Instead, he ran to the fire to check whether the squid was cooked. He found that the fire was just right and the smell of burning was overflowing.

He sat aside, picked up squid and ate it to replenish his physical strength for the day. When he was thirsty, he took a sip of bottled rainwater. His life was completely different from a few days ago, and he looked like a poor peasant trying to become well-off.

Comfortable.

After eating and drinking, Bi Fang began to weave rope.

"The best material for braiding ropes is actually shrubs, plant stems, such as nettles, but for us bark is enough. Even if the quality is not enough, we can win in quantity to ensure that our raft is strong and durable.

stable."

Bi Fang pointed to a large pile of bark in the open space. There was enough bark for him to tie the entire raft three times according to normal methods. It was not wasted at all.

Braiding rope is not complicated. Bi Fang first picked up a complete piece of bark, removed the wood, and then used stones to scrape off the surface layer of the fiber. This surface layer does not increase the strength of the fiber, but makes the fiber more fragile.

Finally, Bi Fang put the complete plant fiber on his hands and kneaded it to make it soft.

"Before we braid the rope, we have to be careful not to let the fibers come into contact with water, otherwise the rope will shrink and the rope will become loose."

Bi Fang took out a bunch of fibers, tied one end together, divided it into three strands evenly after fixing, put the left strand in the middle, then placed the right strand on top of it, then wound the current left strand to the middle and placed it

, and so on, continue to wind, it looks a bit like braiding.

"The rope made by this braiding method is called braided rope. Divide the thread into three strands and braid them together to form a thicker and stronger rope. If you need to lengthen it, you can stagger the strands and add new fibers.

.

The rope made by this method should be as close and smooth as possible between the strands. If you are not experienced enough, you can also use hand rubbing to make the rope."

"In addition to this, there are other methods, such as wrap-around rope making. That is to put plant fibers together and rotate them. The direction does not matter. The main thing is to keep the direction of rotation consistent. Because I am pressed for time, I will not demonstrate it here.

"

As he spoke, Bi Fang had already raised the rope in his hand and showed it to the audience. Surprisingly, this piece of rope could not be seen to be handmade at all. It was no different from what he usually saw. Even because

Handwork makes this piece of rope more beautiful.

"There are no essentials here. You may be able to do it after practicing a few times, and girls who like braids may be more dexterous.

The only thing we need to pay attention to is that when we make the rope, the thickness of each fiber should be equal, and the thickness of each fiber itself should be uniform. If the thickness of each fiber is uneven, after the rope is made, the light and thin parts will be affected.

It’s easy to break if you apply force.”

Bi Fang wrapped a circle of hemp rope around each hand, and applied force with both hands. The thin rope made of tree fiber straightened instantly, leaving a deep mark on the flesh of his arm without any sign of breaking.

So strong?

The audience was surprised. They didn't expect that a handmade rope could be so strong. Can we start tying the wood?

"Not enough, not enough."

Bi Fang shook his head, "We still need to braid two more strands and then merge them into one in the same way as this one. That way it will be strong enough and not break after more than ten days of drifting at sea.

You know, we may encounter a storm. A rope may be able to keep the raft strong, but there is no guarantee that it will be safe in the storm. We must be fully prepared. If an accident occurs at sea, you will have no chance to regret it."

【666, cautious enough】

【Are you going to rub the hemp rope all night? 】

【When will we set sail? I can’t wait! Damn it!】

【What to do with the life raft? Don’t you want it anymore? 】

"Of course, why not if the life raft isn't broken? I made the raft just in case."

Bi Fang shook his head. Only children make choices. Of course adults want them all.

Regardless of whether it is a life raft or a raft, he will not abandon either one, but will combine them and merge the two into one. Only then will he be able to sail unimpeded on the sea, replacing shotguns with cannons. When the time comes, he will not be afraid of smaller sharks.

Come and enjoy a shark feast!

That’s called riding the wind and breaking the waves!

Thinking of this, Bi Fang's hands moved faster, twisting out several hemp ropes in succession. His hand speed was very fast. It was not until the number of people in the live broadcast room began to decrease significantly that he realized that it was late. It might be early morning in China.

Then he stopped and prepared to rest.

Nothing happened all night.

When the audience tuned in again the next day, Bi Fang had already finished twisting the hemp rope and was preparing to build a raft.

【Damn, is it so fast? 】

[Has Lao Fang downloaded the broadcast and is still rubbing it? 】

【Dedication, seriousness】

[Ah this... my eldest brother is also a craftsman and relies on his craftsmanship to make a living]

"of course not."

Bi Fang shook his head. He slept in the life raft after the broadcast last night. However, he got up early today and made preparations before the program started. He twisted more than half of the tree bark into a rope.

, they are all three-in-one, each one is as thick as a little finger, and looks extremely sturdy and durable.

Next comes the most exciting building moment, pushing the boat into the sea!

Placing the logs on the beach, Bi Fang first picked out the two thickest and longest ones. These two logs were different from other logs and had obviously different functions.

Is it something like a foundation?

The audience can't help but think.

But unexpectedly, Bifang carried the two logs to the life raft and then placed them against both sides of the raft.

What is this doing?
Chapter completed!
