Section 379
It didn't take long for a beech tree to be chopped down easily.
"Well, not bad..."
Picking up the beech stick, Lu Yu observed the cross-section of the trunk and nodded:
"The water content is not that high, and it basically meets my requirements. I believe that with it, my hut will become very strong."
"Okay, brothers, let's continue."
The hardness of beech wood is truly well-deserved.
No matter how sharp the stone ax was, after cutting down three or five trees, Lu Yu was already exhausted and sweating profusely.
boom!
boom!
boom!
After cutting down another tree, Lu Yu wiped his sweat, faced the camera with a wry smile and said:
"If now... I am holding a jungle axe, I believe it will be much better... Phew, of course, if there is a chainsaw, that would be even better..."
"The stone ax work is still not good enough, even though I have sharpened it... sharp enough..."
Although it was tiring, the harvest was quite fruitful.
Lu Yu roughly counted and found that he had cut down almost 7 trees in less than an hour.
If it is only used to build the frame of the hut, these timbers are sufficient.
But when it comes to counting the main beams, these are far from enough.
Therefore, after taking a short rest, Lu Yu swung the stone ax again and didn't give up until he took down five more trees.
"Okay, it's almost done. These wood should be enough to build the frame. As for the rest, just use some softer shrubs..."
"Take these back first."
Such a big project.
It can certainly not be completed in one day.
Just the relevant materials may take three to five days to prepare.
Today, it would be considered good if we could put together the general framework.
The beech forest is not far from the camp.
A few hundred meters at most.
Soon, Lu Yu transported the chopped wood back.
Then, after everything is ready.
All that's left is to select a site and lay the foundation.
After weighing the situation, Lu Yu chose the location of the hut in the center of the open space, a little to the north.
After the house was completed, the front faced the sea.
The back is backed by jungle.
The area is large enough without taking up too much open space.
After arriving at the designated location, Lu Yu faced the camera and introduced to the audience:
"Considering that something else might be built in the future, I chose this place to locate the hut. Once completed, it will only be about ten square meters, so it won't be too eye-catching."
"At the same time, the area of the camp has been properly guaranteed, which makes it convenient for me to do other things."
"Well... After deciding on the site selection, the next thing to consider is the foundation. The foundation of the hut does not require any major work. You only need to sharpen one end of the beech wood and insert it into the soil to ensure that it is deep enough. , it is not as complicated as imagined..."
Chapter 332 The hut frame, prey is coming! (k)
Chapter 332 The hut frame, prey is coming! (4k)
A simple hut with a natural foundation is sufficient for everything.
During the entire construction process, as long as the wooden wall is stable enough, there will generally be no major problems.
At least.
It is more than enough to cope with ordinary bad weather.
While talking.
Lu Yu weighed the materials in front of him and got busy again.
I selected four tree trunks of the same length and cut off the heads and tails.
Then pick up the stone ax and sharpen one end.
In this way, sharp wooden spears can be easily inserted into the ground and used as load-bearing beams.
After a while, all the materials were transformed.
Lu Yu confirmed the general location of the hut according to the previously planned construction location.
Then, insert the four wooden sticks into the ground in sequence.
And knock them firmly with stone axes respectively.
A rectangular space with an initial area of about a dozen bungalows was planned.
Of course, this is not the end.
In order to obtain a wooden wall of good quality to better protect himself from wind and rain, he followed the same method and added one wooden stick to each of the four adjacent wooden sticks.
Eight wooden sticks, two by two adjacent to each other.
There is a gap of about 2 to 3 centimeters in the middle.
When the time comes, just fill the gaps with branches.
The wall of the hut is considered complete.
"This is the frame of the wall. Does it look familiar?"
After taking a look at the barrage, Lu Yu was busy and said with a smile:
"Yes, that's right, its construction method is the same as the principle of heat reflection wall. The entire hut, except for the door and window side, the other three walls can be built using my method..."
"It's simple, convenient, and most importantly, very strong..."
Building a house with your bare hands may sound a bit mysterious.
But as long as they see it with their own eyes, the audience can understand the truth.
There's really nothing difficult about this.
While introducing various details to the audience, he continued to work quickly and slowly.
Soon, the main frame of the four wooden walls was fixed by Lu Yu.
"Because there isn't that much wood, we don't have to rush to complete the walls first. We can consider it after the roof is completed."
"I plan to make the roof of the hut triangular. The triangular roof has the best rain-proof effect. Even without tiles, it can handle most weather conditions."
Walked to the pile of wood.
Lu Yu picked up a wooden stick as thick as a forearm.
Continuing what I just said:
"For the convenience of operation, before putting up the roof, we'd better make a climbing tool first, which can not only improve work efficiency, but also make it more convenient to move."
"Speaking of which, the triangular ladder with excellent stability is a good choice."
The triangular ladder is the most stable climbing tool among all ladders.
It is simple to make.
The process is simple.
In the wild, it has high practical value.
Sometimes, even a portable metal ladder cannot compare with it.
Lu Yu said while doing it.
Soon, he picked out two wooden sticks of similar length.
These three wooden sticks are the main body of the ladder.
Select one end, Lu Yu first tightened it with a bark rope.
Then fully unfold it and put it on the ground.
First plan the general shape of the triangular ladder.
Next.
Use a rope to tie a wooden stick of appropriate size to serve as the first horizontal rung of the ladder.
It is horizontally erected in each triangular face of the triangular ladder.
Give a rough height.
It is no problem to ensure that people can stand on it and maximize the working space.
However, it is important to note that there must be room for maneuver.
If the height is not enough, at least it should be possible to add a horizontal bar.
"Erecting the roof is considered a high-altitude operation. It cannot be completed without the help of climbing tools."
"The triangular ladder has many uses. It has its place in any high-altitude operation. Don't rush to throw it away after use. It may help you a lot in the future."
...
Busy.
It's past noon.
The sun is gradually setting.
