Because of the skill book, the process of making the stone adze was very smooth.
However, there was no skill book for making stone axes in the mall, so Ye Qing could only fumble around.
Zhao Ling had wanted to help, but since Ye Qing hadn't thought of how to do it, she was even more confused. After watching for a while, she left.
Of course, Zhao Ling was not idle either. Even though she could not help here, she still had things to do.
According to what they had discussed last night, after Ye Qing finished making the stone axe, he would start making some simple furniture. However, because he did not have any tools, the furniture would be very rough, especially the wooden bed. If he slept on it directly, it would be very uncomfortable.
Therefore, Zhao Ling's job at this time was to find some tree leaves nearby to pad them.
Besides, this cave had just been moved over, so it was empty inside. It was necessary to pick up some dry wood and put it inside in case of emergency.
Ye Qing thought for a moment and made up his mind.
He began to pick up the stone adze and fiddle with the wood he had brought back.
He first used a stone adze to cut one of them into a size suitable for holding, then polished it.
The other end was about ten centimeters long. After peeling off the skin, it did not touch it.
Ye Qing planned to chisel a hole the size of a head on the surface of the stone axe that he had previously forged. He wanted to embed the stone axe in it so that it would be easier to fix it.
However, because there was no chisel and the stone adze was too big and wide, he could only use a military knife to slowly drill through it.
After measuring the size of the tree trunk, Ye Qing took out his military saber, held the hilt with both hands, and began to drill into it.
This job was extremely time-consuming. A military saber was not a drill, so he encountered many difficulties in the process.
For example, the blade of a military saber would not be able to move after the tip of the blade went a little deeper.
In order to solve this problem, Ye Qing could only hit the hilt with a stone while drilling, chiseling the side a little before continuing to drill.
He also wanted to use the military saber as a chisel, but the problem was whether the military saber could withstand such a force. The most important thing was that the characteristics of the military saber were that one side was thick and the other side was thin. It was easy to cause deviation. It was a small matter to break the wood, but if he was not careful, he might even hurt himself.
This path would not work, so he could only slowly take it.
After two hours of hard work, Ye Qing finally drilled a hole of a suitable size in the middle of the wood.
Putting the stone axe in, an axe was formed.
However, the work was not over yet. Although Ye Qing had chosen a wood with better toughness when he was cutting the wood, the stone axe would bear a lot of force during the process of using it. The wooden handle could not bear it and crack easily. At that time, the stone axe that he had painstakingly made would be declared useless.
In order to prevent such a problem from happening, Ye Qing also needed to use rattan to firmly fix the contact position between the stone axe and the wooden handle. This way, it would be more convenient to use.
This was simple, and Ye Qing finished it very quickly.
It wasn't lunchtime yet, so Ye Qing informed Zhao Ling and left with the stone axe.
Time was tight. He planned to finish the two wooden beds today, and it would be best if he could make another shelf. They had a lot of things now, especially food. It was easy to get wet and moldy if they were placed on the ground.
Then, tomorrow, he would go out to look for fresh water and explore the surroundings.
As for the spring water from the last time, it was not too far away. Even Ye Qing would not go there. Who knew if the short-faced bear was still there? That thing's combat power was far higher than his.
The stone axe was not made of iron, but it was still very useful. In just an hour or so, Ye Qing had already cut down a lot of wood, which was about the size of an arm. It was perfect for making wooden beds and shelves. It could be used after peeling.
By noon, Ye Qing had already cut down enough wood. After that, Ye Qing looked around and chose a few special pieces of wood. After cutting them down, he didn't even clear the branches and directly carried them back to the place where the wood was placed.
These trees were not used as wood. Ye Qing was interested in their bark.
He had seen this kind of tree before. Its bark was different from other bark. It was very tough. After peeling it off, it could be woven into a rope. It was very strong, not inferior to the rope made of plastic.
As for why he didn't use rattan, Ye Qing had considered it before.
Although rattan was good, it had a fatal weakness. It would dry up and rot. It would not take long to use it, and it might break. It was fine to fix the shelf, but if it was used on a wooden bed, it would be very embarrassing if the bed collapsed when he fell asleep.
Generally speaking, the correct way to use this kind of bark was to dry it after peeling it off, then soak it in water for a period of time, and then dry it. This way, its toughness could be maximized.
However, it was more urgent now, so Ye Qing skipped these steps. It was not a big deal if it was raw. At most, he could just change it in the future. Besides, it might not even be that time before the rescue team found him.
After peeling the bark, Ye Qing immediately used it.
Because the wood he chopped wasn't too thick, even if Zhao Ling didn't laugh at Ye Qing, he would feel embarrassed to bring one back at a time.
He used tree bark to tie the wood into bundles. Poor Little Black. It was originally a hunting pet, but it was completely used as a cow or horse. It was also pulled over by Ye Qing to be a laborer.
However, this guy seemed to be quite happy. He dragged the two bundles of wood and walked back.
Ye Qing didn't just let it do the work by itself. He carried four bundles of wood before returning.
These logs were all raw, and each bundle weighed about 40 to 50 pounds. If it was before, Ye Qing could still carry one bundle, and two bundles would be the limit. However, now that he was carrying four bundles, he did not feel any pressure at all. This was the benefit of his body being strengthened by the system.
After three trips with Blackie, they finally brought back all the wood that had been chopped and piled it outside the cave. At first glance, it really looked like it.
Initially, Zhao Ling thought that she was quite capable. In the past few hours, she had picked up a lot of dry wood. When she piled it up in the cave, it was almost as tall as her. However, when she saw that Ye Qing's work had been successful in the morning, she immediately felt inferior.
Her results were not even one-tenth of what Ye Qing had. Moreover, she had picked them up on the spot, while Ye Qing had to chop them up on the spot and deal with them before moving them back.
There was no comparison between the two. Ye Qing comforted her again, and the girl finally smiled and went to cook happily.
Actually, there was nothing much to cook. There were so many dishes in the morning, so he just needed to heat them up.
Because there was no soup container, he could only put all the vegetables into the big iron pot and stew them. Although they were delicious, they still lacked some feeling.
This made Ye Qing feel that he had to put the matter of making pottery on the agenda. It seemed that if he wanted to live a better life, he still had a lot of things to do.
Time became tight again.
