I am the king of the wild live

Chapter 338 How important tools are to human beings

In addition to his own safety, Wang Yu also had another reason, which was his natural skills. The appearance of this saltwater crocodile can be said to be just right.

And it is also difficult to find such a large saltwater crocodile in the wilderness. If you can successfully kill the saltwater crocodile, you can use the devouring skill to obtain a natural ability of this saltwater crocodile.

And it could be Death Stranding or that one-ton super bite.

Wang Yu is well aware of the truth that if you want to get something, you must pay, and the gain is often accompanied by risks.

Hunting this saltwater crocodile may cost you your own life, but the risk is worth taking compared to the gain.

What he has to do now is to minimize the risk as much as possible. Thinking of this, Wang Yu said seriously:

"First of all, the saltwater crocodile must be led out of the mangrove, because the environment there is not my home field, and the mud is nearly half a meter deep, which greatly limits my flexibility and cannot give full play to this advantage.

Therefore, I must first find a way to lure the saltwater crocodile out of the mangrove forest. Once it comes to land, even if I can't kill it, I can still escape calmly by virtue of my speed. "

Although he now has mermaid blood, Wang Yu knows that water is still not his home field, and saltwater crocodiles are more flexible than himself in the sea.

But it is different on land. This saltwater crocodile is very large, but it also becomes its shortcoming on land. Its body weighs more than one ton, so it can only move slowly on land, and cannot move like it does in water. flexible.

However, it was not enough to lure it ashore.Wang Yu then stretched out two fingers and continued:
"Then comes the second point, the trap, I need a trap that can trap it in a short time, because even if this guy lands, with the tools in my hand, I can't kill it in a short time.

Even with a sharp stone axe, it couldn't break through its leather armor. The only way was to smash its head directly with a blunt weapon. "

"This saltwater crocodile is too big, and trying to make a trap that can trap it is a big project for me at the moment.

But no matter what, I must kill this saltwater crocodile, otherwise my safety cannot be guaranteed. I believe that no matter who knows that there is a 6-meter-long saltwater crocodile hundreds of meters away from my camp, it will not be safe. fall asleep. "

After all, Wang Yu stood up and came to the reef area.While looking for materials suitable for making stone axes, he said:
"To trap this saltwater crocodile, the size of the trap must be at least seven meters, and the depth should be about two meters. This is not a small project. I estimate that it will take two days to dig the trap.

Of course, the premise is that I can make the stone ax and stone pickaxe today. The original plan needs to be postponed until the timing is resolved. "

The surface layer of the island is soft sandy soil, which is very easy to dig. After 1 meter deep into the ground, it becomes hard soil.

Without a pickaxe, it would take Wang Yu at least ten days to dig out a trap that is 7 meters long, wide and two meters deep, relying solely on sticks and shells.

There is a very good saying in the Analects of Confucius, "If a worker wants to be good at his work, he must first sharpen his tools." This sentence is the same as "sharpening a knife and cutting firewood by mistake". It also proves how important tools are to human beings. .

Only when you survive alone in the wilderness can you deeply appreciate the wisdom of your ancestors. All the knowledge and skills of survival in the wilderness in Wang Yu's mind are the crystallization of the wisdom of human ancestors for hundreds of thousands of years.

Under the scorching sun, while Wang Yu was selecting rocks, he spoke to the live broadcast room to popularize science:

"There are three types of reefs, one is volcanic rock formed by volcanic eruptions, the other is a derivative of a submarine continent, and the last is a mixture of coral reef remains and biological calcium.

After these three kinds of rocks have been eroded by seawater for many years, the remnants left behind are reefs. "

"As far as the current situation is concerned, compared with the other two reefs, the reefs formed by volcanic eruptions are undoubtedly more suitable for making stone axes and stone picks. From a structural point of view, volcanic rocks are harder and more stable."

At this moment, Wang Yu's eyes lit up, and he found a reef in the reef pile that was very suitable for making stone picks.

It was a stone the size of an adult's palm, and its shape was long and narrow. Holding this stone in his hand, Wang Yu looked it over carefully, and then knocked hard on other reefs a few times.

Wang Yu's strength is great, but after several times of knocking, the stone did not break, only some traces appeared. Seeing this scene, he smiled with satisfaction:

"This piece of reef is very strong and suitable for making stone axes and pickaxes. Its shape can be formed into an embryo by simply knocking and grinding, which can save a lot of time and energy. If you, the audience, need to make stone tools in the future, it is best to choose and A stone with about the same expected effect.”

After finishing speaking, Wang Yu took the reef and returned to the rest center in a hurry.

Sitting on the resting place, checked the reef over and over in his hand, put it in front of the live broadcast camera, and explained with his hands while gesturing:

"In fact, the manufacturing principle of tools like stone axes and stone pickaxes is very simple. What I need to do now is to sharpen one end of this reef and make it into a tapered shape with one end thick and the other sharp."

After explaining, he began to polish the reef. First, he put the reef on the rocks beside the campfire, then picked up another small stone, and kept beating on one end of the reef. Wang Yu's movements were neither light nor heavy. During the beating process, He also said to the live camera:

"Grinding stones is a craft that requires some skills. During the beating process, you must pay attention to the angle and strength. I cannot teach these things. I can only master these skills through personal experience."

As he kept beating, layers of debris began to fall off the rectangular reef.

As time passed, the sun began to gradually set to the west.After more than two hours, Wang Yu finally beat the reef into an embryo, but it didn’t look very beautiful. The conical reef was full of bumps and bumps. Holding the embryo in front of the live broadcast camera, Wang Yu said with a satisfied smile:
"When the stone is knocked into the desired shape, the next step is the second process, grinding! This process is very important, because many small cracks have formed inside and outside the stone embryo during the beating process.

If the surface of the stone embryo is not polished to a smooth level, the cracks will gradually deepen and become longer during use, and finally the stone embryo will be completely broken. Of course, if you only use it once, you can omit this process. "

"And I need to survive on a deserted island for a long time, and I need to use tools frequently, so this process is essential, but it's getting late now, and I have to get dinner before the sea tide rises.

Remember, to survive or survive in the wilderness, you must plan your time well and know when you should do what. "
