However, there was no light when making charcoal, which made him very uneasy, not knowing whether the charcoal was successfully made.
But the hundred times on the scroll have turned into ninety-nine times.
The number of times minus one means that he successfully used the scroll just now.
You can see through the small holes intentionally left that there is still a faint glow of fire inside.
Flashing like red fireflies.
Xu Shiying frowned. He was hesitating whether to dig up the soil now to see if the charcoal was successfully made.
Then I thought, let's wait until all the fire inside is extinguished, then pull it away.
However, he had to leave a kindling, otherwise nothing would be visible in the pit after the bonfire was extinguished.
I found some wood, used the fire at the entrance of the hole to light the stick, and placed it on the ground. Then I piled the wood next to my feet on the burning stick, layer by layer.
It has no fixed shape and looks like a small bonfire from the outside.
The fire on the bottom stick will ignite all the sticks little by little over time, eventually creating a big fire.
The agoutis were playing around the newly lit fire.
No matter how much wood you use, it can only burn for about ten to fifteen minutes, and it will go out when the time is up.
Xu Shiying went back to the house, took out a few pieces of charcoal, and placed them on the wood.
According to Zhuge Dali, a piece of charcoal can burn for thirty minutes.
Even if it takes less than thirty minutes, it's still more cost-effective than burning wood.
There isn't much charcoal left in the house, it's almost gone.
There are so many places to use charcoal.
When sleeping, use charcoal for the kang bed and charcoal for the fireplace.
It's not much once or twice, but it can't be used every day.
If he failed to make charcoal again this time, he would have no choice but to ask Zhuge Dali again.
After the fire in the wood pile stabilized, Xu Shiying found a longer wooden stick and tied a wrapping cloth dipped in rabbit oil to the wooden stick.
Every time you upgrade your shelter, you get a wrapping cloth.
He lit the oiled wrapping cloth and made a torch.
Then he held the torch and got busy with other things.
Making a trap requires not only wood, but also rattan, and after he made the greenhouse, he no longer had rattan in hand.
He took out the "Survival Manual" and contacted Bai Zhong. After waiting for about three to five minutes, Bai Zhong had not replied to his message.
Xu Shiying and other places were really anxious, so they contacted other survivors. Generally speaking, rattan can be found almost anywhere there is a forest, but the varieties are different.
In fact, there were also canes deep in the forest he went to today. Although the number was not large, it was enough for him.
Because he had encountered a wild boar before, he was afraid of encountering a wild boar again, so he did not go to the forest today. He was a little regretful that he did not collect canes.
But it doesn't matter. When his guardian vines grow up, he will have countless vines for him to use, and he won't have to worry about the vines anymore.
After a while of bargaining with the survivor who owned the rattan, Xu Shiying finally exchanged one piece of wood for five meters of rattan for a hundred meters of rattan.
One hundred meters of rattan, unless there is a big project like building a greenhouse, which will require a lot of rattan.
As for making the animal trap, not much rattan is used at all. The main structure of the animal trap is mainly made of wood, supplemented by rattan.
He estimated that the cane would only last a few meters at most.
With the production scrolls, he didn't need to worry about weaving at all. He only needed to prepare the corresponding materials.
Xu Shiying gathered the materials together, used the making scroll, and with a flash of white light, ten animal traps were ready.
Then he tied a rattan to each cage and put pieces of meat on it. He also poured some rabbit blood and wiped it on the edge of the cage. The smell of blood can increase the attractiveness of the beast.
Then he carried the cage and continued to throw it in the direction of the grave. He didn't know whether it was because there were a lot of weeds there or there was something special about it. Every time he threw the cage in this direction, he could catch one or two beasts.
Of course, he did not scatter all the cages in that direction, but spread out ten cages. Basically, there would be a cage in every direction, and the rattan at the other end was tied to a big rock. , the cage is hidden in the dark grass, waiting for the beasts to take the bait.
I looked up at the sky, and there was no moon or stars on my forehead, just because it was only one or two o'clock in the afternoon.
Today we have three hours of free daytime. After three hours, darkness falls and it becomes completely dark.
It's only one or two o'clock in the afternoon, not the time for the moon to go to work.
However, because of the darkness, everyone and animals thought it was already night time.
Just now, when he was having a bonfire party,
But when he was browsing the public chat area of "Survival Manual", he accidentally glanced at the time, which showed 1:45 pm.
But it was hopelessly dark.
Xu Shiying suddenly had a glimmer of understanding. The coming of darkness was not just about the strange existences hidden in the darkness, but also loneliness and despair.
Plants cannot carry out photosynthesis without sunlight, and beasts cannot continue to grow without daylight.
And the firelight in the darkness becomes extremely important.
It is precisely because of the presence of fire that the agoutis in the yard began to play happily after eating.
There were a few agoutis who were on relatively good terms with each other, so they gathered together and chatted about something.
Xu Shiying adds a handful of firewood to the small pile of wood from time to time. Firstly, it can warm the fire. Secondly, with the light of the fire, they will sleep relatively late, which can greatly eliminate the agouti's discomfort with the darkness.
For this group of agouti, Xu Shiying worked very hard.
However, if you pay, you will be rewarded.
These agouti gradually began to regard this place as their home, and the simple nest he built had been secretly transformed by them into something more suitable for them to live in.
After calculating the time, the charcoal should be almost ready, the fire inside has been extinguished, and the soil can be peeled away.
Xu Shiying called a few spiny rats to help dig up the soil.
With the help of the agouti, these solidified soils can be easily peeled away.
After the soil was peeled away, what came into view was a long black stick.
Xiaoqi thought it was something good, so he bit the stick out of curiosity. His mouth was immediately stained black, and his mouth felt bitter. Then he spitted to the side. Apparently, he didn't like the taste of the black stick.
Xu Shiying smiled and shook his head. Should he say that this kid is greedy, or should he say that he is too curious?
He bent down and knocked on the black wooden stick. When he knocked, it would make a dull sound. Xu Shiying broke open a black wooden stick with his hands. The inside was completely black, not the black after burning. , but a hard black.
Xu Shiying was secretly happy, could it be successful?
He pulled out a black wooden stick about thirty centimeters long and threw it into the pile of wood, observing the subtle changes in the stick.
If it were not for charcoal, this stick would not be ignitable.
