It was afternoon, and the sun was scorching hot.
However, there was a tree-lined path on the side. Following this path, Fang Chen quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Before he went up, Fang Chen found some flint at the foot of the mountain.
"Flint? Fang Chen's luck is really not bad!"
"He's still alright…his speed is already very slow. Chief Jin and Baiers had already found the flints when they first came ashore.”
"In comparison, Baiers and the others clearly have more survival experience. With flint, they can make stone tools earlier.”
"That's right, the tools that they brought with them are definitely not enough. Baiers and the others now have stone hammers, stone pickaxes, and stone knives!”
……
Flint was very irregular, with layers and lumps.
After breaking irregularly, the hard nature of flint would cause it to have a sharp fracture. Therefore, in the Stone Age, many tools were made of flint.
Moreover, flint and iron would produce sparks, so it was also used as a fire-making tool in ancient times.
"This piece of flint seems pretty good…"
Fang Chen lowered his head and searched through the flint in front of him. Soon, he found a flint with a good shape.
From the shape, this piece of flint looked a little like a stone pick. The lower part was very sharp. With a little grinding, it could be made into the shape of a stone pick.
After putting away the flint, Fang Chen quickly searched the mountain.
In about ten minutes, Fang Chen found four or five flint stones that were of decent shape.
These flint stones were not considered big. They were generally around 20cm in size. However, because of their hard texture, some parts were very sharp. Therefore, Fang Chen had to run twice to bring all the flint stones back to the vicinity of the wooden house.
To make a stone tool, one had to bring wood, which was the handle.
Fang Chen took out the leftover wooden blocks from yesterday's wooden house and used the camping knife in his hand to slowly cut the wooden blocks into the shape of wooden strips. Although there was no matte paper, Fang Chen directly used flint to polish them slightly.
Although the texture was still a little rough after polishing, it was much better than before.
"Since you want to make a tool, then make it better. This way, its service life will be longer.”
Fang Chen muttered to himself. Then, he dug a small hole in the middle of the wooden stick and put it in from the bottom of the sharp part.
Fang Chen's thoughts were simple.
These tools would definitely be used frequently in the future. If the quality was not good and often broke, it would be very annoying to use.
After all, before he found iron ore, these stone tools were irreplaceable…
"Here, use a small wooden stick to clip it in, then tie it up with a rattan…"
Fang Chen spoke to the camera as he sat.
Living alone in the wild without anyone to talk to was very boring. All Fang Chen could do was talk to himself in front of the drone camera. This could relieve the depression in his heart.
"Alright."
After about half an hour, Fang Chen placed the stone pick in front of the camera and shook it.
The workmanship of the entire stone pick was quite exquisite. Although it was a stone tool, it looked very similar to a cross pick.
"In the future, I won't have to dig with a camping knife.”Fang Chen said with a smile.
Although the camping knife had evolved, it was not as convenient as a stone pick when it came to digging or other aspects.
After making the pickaxe, Fang Chen used the same method to make a stone hammer.
The two stone tools took him about an hour, which was not too long.
"Next, I have to get an earthen jar…"
Fang Chen placed the stone hammer he had just made aside and slowly walked into the forest with the stone pick.
Not far from the wooden house, Fang Chen dug out enough soil from the ground and put it into his self-made backpack before bringing it back to the wooden house.
When making pottery, the choice of soil was not the most important.
According to his Level 1 craftsmanship ability, as long as it was soil, it could be used to make pottery!
However, the composition of the soil was different, so the temperature control and the degree of kneading would also be different. This was the most important aspect!
……
He chose a thick wooden plank to lay on the ground. Fang Chen poured all the soil in his backpack onto it, and at the same time, he slowly poured the water from the water bag into it.
To make pottery, the soil needed to be kneaded repeatedly.
In other words, the water and air in the soil had to be completely kneaded out to make it compact. Otherwise, the pottery that was fired would not be able to dry and shrink. It would not be a qualified pottery and would be easy to crack and distort.
Although this process seemed very simple, it was actually very laborious when it was made.
Even though Fang Chen had a level 1 craftsmanship ability, he had never done anything like this before, nor did he have any knowledge of pottery. He could only do everything according to the most basic methods.
"Bam, bam…"
When the soil was mixed with water, it would make a strange sound when kneaded.
Fang Chen's hands were kneading all the soil with great force. Even though he had already kneaded it to a very sticky and soft degree, Fang Chen did not stop.
After an unknown amount of time, when Fang Chen felt that his palm was already a little sore, he slowly stopped.
"Phew…we can start now."
Fang Chen used his elbow to wipe the sweat off his forehead. Then, he used a wooden stick to slowly roll over the soil.
As he moved, a large piece of soil was slowly flattened into a thin sheet.
However…
Just as Fang Chen was working hard to make his first pottery, suddenly…
The sky suddenly darkened!
Fang Chen was stunned at first, then he suddenly looked up at the sky.
"It's going to rain!"
