"F * ck! Was this still a stone? It was actually so sharp. This was not inferior to a metal tool, right?”
“666! The host is really awesome. He can actually use stones to cut down trees. The host is really awesome.”
"Truly amazing! Everything that the streamer did had a deeper meaning. Now you see the effect?”
"Previous poster, you can forget about it. I wonder who made a bet just now that this axe won't last for more than three minutes? Now you're praising me?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I clearly said that the host wouldn't do meaningless things. You can't accuse a good person.”
The audience in the live broadcast room discussed intensely. They never thought that the axe made of stone and wooden stick would be so sharp.
After Zhou Ye cut down a small tree, he checked the condition of the stone axe.
Judging from its current usage, the stone axe would not be damaged even if it were to cut down dozens of trees.
After confirming the sturdiness of the stone axe, Zhou Ye continued to look for suitable trees. He needed a lot of wood to build the shelter. If he didn't speed up, he might not be able to build the shelter today.
"It can't be, right? How could an axe made of stone be so hard?”
Bao Zhanghu, who was in the live broadcast hall, was shocked. He didn't expect that although the stone axe made by Zhou Ye wasn't as sharp as a metal axe, it wasn't much different.
"I thought Zhou Ye's axe would break. I didn't expect it to be so strong.”
Tom also said in disbelief,
"This fellow always does things beyond expectations. At first, I thought he was doing useless things. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, this axe made of stone and wood could really cut down trees.”
Li Zhiwen also nodded emotionally and said," This guy is simply tailor-made for survival in the wilderness. I wonder how his brain works?
The principles of many things are clearly knowledge that we have learned before. Why is it that he can always find the most suitable entry point and make use of it?
Fortunately, I wasn't selected to participate in the competition. Otherwise, in his situation, I might have given up the competition long ago.”
Li Wan 'er immediately expressed her opinion." Teacher Li is right. Actually, everything Zhou Ye did was based on the application of basic knowledge. The reason why we can't see through it is because we are too dependent on technological products now.
Now, I understand why this competition was held. Although our technology is advanced, we have lost our respect for basic science. I'm afraid this competition is to make us pay attention to basic science again.”
Li Wan 'er's point of view resonated with many people in the audience. If it wasn't for Zhou Ye's amazing operation, they wouldn't have realized that basic scientific knowledge could be used in this way.
People were really too reliant on technological products now. This could be seen by comparing them to the other contestants.
Some of the participants not only had all the tools, but they also formed teams to participate. They clearly had a much stronger advantage than Zhou Ye, but these people didn't even know how to use tools.
There was a group of contestants who had obviously spent a lot of effort to get food. He actually gave up the competition because he did not know how to use flint and could not light a fire. He did not want to eat the fish raw.
Now that they recalled how everyone looked down on Zhou Ye at the beginning, their faces started to burn.
While everyone was in an intense discussion and reflecting on their actions, Zhou Ye was still cutting down the trees while sweating profusely.
Now that he had the support of the stone axe, Zhou Ye was able to cut down trees with greater ease. In less than three hours, they had cut down enough wood to build the shelter.
Zhou Ye looked satisfied as he chopped down dozens of small trees on the ground. Although the wood used to build the shelter did not need to be too big, it still consumed a lot of physical strength after a few hours of cutting.
Zhou Ye sat on the ground and rested for a while. Then, he stood up and started to gather the wood. He was prepared to drag the wood back to the camp bit by bit. Although each piece of wood was not very heavy, it was not easy to carry all of them back.
Zhou Ye spent another hour to drag the 40 logs back to the camp.
Zhou Ye sat on the ground and rested for a while. He drank two pieces of coconut juice to replenish his water and energy. Then, he went to the palm tree he found yesterday and cut down a large number of leaves.
He glanced at the sun in the sky. It was already hanging in the west, although there was still some time before the sun set. However, if they did not speed up, they might not be able to complete the shelter by nightfall.
In order to save time, Zhou Ye planned to build a temporary triangular shelter. This would save him the most time. Although the triangular shelter was not as big as the square shelter, it had more advantages than the square shelter.
Not only did it save materials, but it was also stable. Most importantly, it could be expanded later. Moreover, because the triangular shelter only had three walls that needed to be protected from the rain, its resistance to rain was greatly increased.
After considering the situation, Zhou Ye immediately took action.
First, he cut three long pieces of wood from the middle to obtain six short pieces of wood of about the same length.
He placed two pieces of wood in a group and tied one end of the wood tightly with the rattan that he had cut off. Then, Zhou Ye dug six neat holes on the ground.
He then placed another piece of wood into the hole, buried it with soil, and pressed it down with a stone to keep the wood stable.
Three sets of A-shaped support frames were completed. A long piece of wood was put in, and the top of the three sets of wooden frames were tied tightly with rattan. The skeleton of the shelter was completed.
He cut the four pieces of wood into small pieces and placed them on the long wood. The upper end was also tied to the long wood and the lower end was buried in the soil. Then, he tied four long logs to the sides. This would further strengthen the shelter and make it easier to cover it with palm leaves.
After the skeleton was built, Zhou Ye began to lay palm leaves on the ground to provide better protection against the rain. Zhou Ye stacked the long leaves on top of each other. He started from the bottom of the shelter and tied them up layer by layer.
After two hours of work, Zhou Ye finally finished building the shelter before the sky turned completely dark.
It was two meters wide, two meters high, and four meters long. It was an A-shaped triangular shelter with a wide bottom and a narrow top. Three sides of the shelter were covered with layers of palm leaves, leaving only one side as the entrance and exit.
Because the shelter used a solid triangle, the area that was affected by the wind was reduced. As long as there wasn't a big storm, this shelter was very safe.
"F * ck! What was the host doing? Is this a house?"
