The huge wave sweeping the anime world

"Falling down the mountain"

With the roar of horses and cows, a thick tree creaked, and with the muffled sound of it falling down, the tree-cutting process was completed.

"Logically speaking, since we have changed the map, shouldn't we have new tasks? Why are we still chopping trees?"

"Cutting down trees seems to be a mandatory requirement. Building houses and installing resurrection recorders are necessary wherever you move to."

“It feels like this isn’t the world of One Piece anymore, it feels more like the world of Barbarian Run and Biltong”

"What you mean is that if we play alone, I am the son of the forest; if we play with two people, we are the brothers of the forest; if we play with three people, I am the father of the forest; if we play with four people, we become the kings of the forest and build a new castle..."

"I remember that wasn't a game about finding your son?"

"Son? What son? There are only farmers in my forest, no sons."

Ma Niu and the newbie Huanggua were chatting and chopping trees together.

"Fortunately this is in a game, otherwise in real life you would be fined for trimming a tree you planted yourself."

"Not only that, in reality, if you find anything thicker than a bowl, you will be punished no matter if you planted it in your own yard. Not to mention the tree we are chopping down now, which is so big that it takes two people to hug it. Life in prison is just the beginning."

In order to work more efficiently in the game, they decided to split into two groups.

Two veteran players lead three newbies to form a tree-cutting group, and three veteran players and new players form a carrying group.

"This game is amazing. Although our characters are anime characters, the feeling of tiredness and the feel of chopping trees are exactly the same as in real life. Looking at the wood chips blown by the wind reminds me of my youth lost in Bear Ridge."

"Brother Ma Niu, let's stop being sentimental. We have already met the timber quota when we formed the team just now. Why don't we go for a walk outside?"

Ma Niu's rich experience in tree felling meant that their group cut down far more trees than the other group.

Twenty-five large trees have had their branches cut down, leaving only the main trunks; the remaining twigs and small trees have been taken away by the transport team.

Ma Niu still wanted to continue chopping trees. After a day's work, he would feel exhausted even if he didn't do anything. But if he was asked to chop trees in the game, he would just say it was fun and he would chop another one.

Although he was very tired now, almost as tired as the last time he chopped trees, when he returned to reality, all the tiredness he felt last time when he chopped trees was swept away, as if he had had a good sleep.

However, since the newbie wants to see the new world, as one of the five pioneers of the game, he has the responsibility to take the newbie to explore.

Besides, he had only seen Sky Island in comics but had never seen it with his own eyes, so it was just the right opportunity to satisfy himself.

"If you said that Angel Island in Sky Island can grow plants, then can it be used for farming? Is the essence of the island cloud land?"

Cucumber’s first thought after chopping down the tree was to see if he could grow crops on the island cloud in Sky Island.

This follows the correct approach for people in unfamiliar environments.

1. First confirm whether you can contact anyone; 2. When you can no longer contact anyone, give priority to water and food; 3. Build a safe shelter based on 2; 4. Expand your horizons as much as possible based on 2 and 3; 5. When you are sure that you cannot contact anyone, try to collect food seeds and open up land for planting; 6. Improve the safety and comfort of your own position based on the above; 7. When you are fully prepared, you can open up sub-bases along the water flow; 8. Repeat the above steps.

Both Dara Island, which was moved here by Brother Jason, and the Golden Town, which has been on Sky Island for four hundred years, have land. According to the realism of this game, all kinds of crops should be able to be grown there.

But ordinary farming was too ordinary, he needed something special.

"We can just slash and burn the land on the island, but the seeds of crops are the most difficult to get. As for planting on the island cloud, it involves my blind spot of knowledge. After we build the house and install the resurrection recorder, we will give it a try."

Ma Niu put the axe behind his back and followed Huanggua out of Dara Island and headed towards the nearby Angel Island.

...

On the outskirts of the forest on the deserted island of Dara, there is an open space next to the new homeland developed by the Shandia people.

Pieces of wood of different thicknesses and sizes are arranged in an orderly manner.

"If ordinary wood is just cut down but not processed, it will crack and deform due to its own internal stress."

Caoyuan, holding an axe, was explaining scientific knowledge to the young newcomer and veteran shooter following behind him. These were the essential test points that the survival coach and the master architect had told him about.

the old shooter asked cooperatively.

"So what should we do?"

Caoyuan touched the fluff on his chest. As the old saying goes, when taking an exam, either do your homework first or carry cheat sheets with you.

Those days of hard work were not in vain.

"As the saying goes: dry for a thousand years, wet for ten thousand years, neither dry nor wet for half a year. Although this is a summary in the field of archaeology, it can be applied to many fields."

"Fresh wood contains resin, which solidifies into particles. If they are uneven, they will crack. Soaking in water can remove the resin and prevent cracking, and prevent rot. Soaking for a few years and then drying it will not crack. In the past, when building houses in rural areas, people would prepare several trees in advance and soak them in water."

"But now we don't have time to wait, so we can only carry out carbonization treatment first. The principle is that when wood comes into contact with oxygen at high temperature, the surface of the wood will carbonize and form a carbonized layer. This process can improve the fire resistance, weather resistance and corrosion resistance of the wood."

"Finally, don't forget that the carbonized wood needs to be cooled to reduce the temperature of the wood and avoid deformation and cracking."

"Let's get started. We all have to do our job. Otherwise, we'll be ridiculed by the rest of the people on the forum."

Caoyuan made a rough estimate and felt that today's work had yielded fruitful results. I didn't want to wait for the other two groups to come back from collecting wood.

Anyway, the wood is piled here. Whether it is dry or not, it is piled here quietly, unmoving.

"Okay, Brother Prairie"

...

"There is only one substance in the island cloud, that is seastone particles, also known as seastone minerals, also known as rock salt crystals, also known as keratin particles."

"Seastone particles can make clouds condense; seastone particles are also a kind of life energy particles. They provide the energy and chemical elements needed for the growth of sky island plants."

"Plants growing from the island cloud enter the food chain of animals and Sky Islanders, ultimately providing Sky Islanders with the energy they need for their daily lives."

"As the seastone particles in the island clouds and sea clouds are continuously consumed, the seastone particles in the entire environment of the sky island must be replenished to form a virtuous cycle of seastone particles in the ecosystem. This is the role of the sky current, which washes the seawater containing seastone particles in Gaya into the sky and replenishes the seastone particles for the sky island."

As a loyal reader of One Piece, Cucumber took a big bite when he saw the island cloud in Angel Island.

By the way, based on the content in the comics, we analyze the possibility of large-scale planting on Sky Island.

"That is to say, island clouds are similar to nutrients in soilless cultivation. As long as there are enough island clouds, a lot of crops can be grown."

"Not entirely correct. We still need to ask the natives about their daily crops and see which belt the crops belong to, so as to determine the specific types and quantities of nutrients that the island cloud can provide..."
