After a good nap, Zhou Ye's spirit was greatly relieved. He was full of energy again. He looked at the sky and estimated that it was around noon. There were still about seven hours before dark.
Now that the problem of food and water had been solved, it was time to consider the construction of the shelter.
Building a shelter required a lot of wood, although there were many fallen branches in the forest. However, most of these branches were relatively small and withered, so they could not withstand the force at all.
The wood needed to build the shelter had to be thick enough to withstand a certain amount of weight. Otherwise, it would collapse easily. Therefore, Zhou Ye needed to go to the forest and cut down some fresh wood to build a shelter.
Looking at the small stone in his hand, Zhou Ye shook his head helplessly. This piece of flint was too small. It was impossible to cut down suitable wood.
The most important thing now was to find a suitable cutting tool. Thinking of this, Zhou Ye walked towards the reefs by the sea. There were many broken stones there, so he should be able to find a suitable stone.
"Hey, what is this guy doing? Why would he flip through those rocks?"
"I don't know? Maybe he's looking for some food?"
"This guy always does strange things, but he always brings surprises. Maybe there's something new to see.”
Zhou Ye quickly found a stone with a suitable shape in the pile of rubble. He held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. He nodded in satisfaction.
"This stone is not bad. As long as it is processed, it can be used.”
This was a relatively flat stone. One end was flat and sharp, while the other end was thicker. He took the stone and knocked it heavily on a stone. The stone in his hand didn't crack and its hardness was just right. Zhou Ye was even more satisfied.
"Haha, the hardness is quite high. This is even better. Now, I just need to simply polish it and I can make a suitable stone axe.”
Zhou Ye took the stone and walked to a relatively flat stone. He got some seawater to moisten the stone and started polishing it.
"What did this guy just say? Did I hear wrongly? Was he going to use that stone as a tool?”
Bao Zhanghu asked in surprise. He knew that in ancient times, axes were an important production tool for humans, mainly used to cut down trees.
However, those axes were forged with metals that contained iron elements. Moreover, the hardness of those metal axes could not compare to the tools forged with high-hardness alloys.
Now, he actually heard that someone wanted to use a rock to make an axe. This was simply a joke. How hard could a rock be? It would probably break in a few minutes, right?
"Theoretically speaking, the hardness of stones is indeed higher than that of trees. Therefore, in theory, it was indeed feasible to use stones as tools, but stone tools probably wouldn't last long, right?”
Li Wan 'er nodded in agreement. Although theoretically speaking, it was feasible to use rocks as tools, she didn't think Zhou Ye would succeed this time. After all, the hardness of rocks couldn't compare to metal.
Li Wan 'er's point of view was exactly what everyone was thinking, so everyone nodded in agreement.
Zhou Ye held the stone and polished it back and forth. His sharp voice echoed in the sea.
The audience in the live broadcast room was dumbfounded. They could not figure out what he was going to do. Didn't they agree to use stones as tools? Why was he grinding stones?
"What is he doing? Don't tell me it's to polish that stone?"
Bao Zhanghu was about to stomp his feet. What was this person thinking? No matter how sharp you polished it, it was still a stone. It could not be compared to a metal tool.
Even though Zhou Ye had done a lot of shocking things previously, he still didn't think highly of Zhou Ye. In his opinion, this kind of behavior was a waste of time and energy. It was a very unwise behavior.
Li Wan 'er also shook her head. She also didn't agree with Zhou Ye's actions." Although sharp stones are indeed much better at cutting down trees, it's still not that easy. However, he used stones. Their toughness was inferior to metal products. The thinner the stone, the higher the possibility of damage. Zhou Ye's actions this time were really unwise.”
The commentators in the live broadcast hall shook their heads regretfully. They always thought that Zhou Ye's actions were inappropriate.
"As the saying goes, sharpening a knife does not delay the work of chopping wood. Now that I have this axe, it will save me a lot of trouble when chopping wood.”
Half an hour later, Zhou Ye looked at the stone in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.
The stone in his hand was used as one end of the axe's surface. It was polished to a thickness of about one millimeter. This way, the efficiency of cutting wood could be increased a lot. Although it was not as convenient as metal tools, it was better than having no tools at all.
Returning to the camp, he found a suitable piece of wood and used the stone in his hand to split one end of the wood into two halves. He clamped the stone in the middle of the wood and tied it tightly with a rope. A stone axe was completed.
He held the stone axe in his hand and waved it a few times. He felt that it was quite handy.
"F * ck, the craftsman is online again. This axe is quite beautiful.”
"With the axe in hand, the world is mine!"
"This axe is indeed quite beautiful. I wonder how many minutes this thing made of stone, wood, and tree bark can last?”
"Haha, previous poster, let's make a bet. If this axe can last for three minutes, I lose!”
Although the audience in the live streaming room liked the stone axe that Zhou Ye made. However, everyone was pessimistic about the sturdiness of the axe.
In everyone's understanding, this axe made of stone and wood was really too simple and could not withstand too much strength.
Zhou Ye held the stone axe and walked into the forest. He found a small tree that was as thick as an arm and had a straight trunk.
"This tree is not bad. The thickness is just right.”
Zhou Ye patted the tree trunk and nodded in satisfaction.
He waved the stone axe in his hand and chopped down at the root of the tree. The sharp stone axe instantly cut a hole in the tree. Zhou Ye looked at the hole and was even more satisfied. The sharpness of the stone axe had withstood the test.
"Shua! Shua!"
After another dozen or so slashes, Zhou Ye grabbed the top of the tree and pushed it hard. A tree as thick as an arm fell down.
In less than three minutes, he cut down the trees one by one. Zhou Ye checked the condition of the stone axe. Although the edge was missing, the stone axe was still sturdy. Zhou Ye felt more at ease.
The viewers in the livestream were all shocked when they saw Zhou Ye cut down the tree so easily.
