After the two insects were cool, Wang Qi began to make a sled.
Unfold the two pieces of iron sheet, drill small holes with scissors, and use the wire rope to weave the net.
In this way, the two iron sheets form a structure with a large area. It can be used by tilting one piece of iron sheet a little to prevent snow from accumulating on top.
Pile the insect corpses on top, apply a layer of snow, and start mowing.
The sled is very simple and can be used. It is very easy to drag dozens of kilograms of cargo. Try towing it for a while and stop.
You can also add some weight.
Turn around and go back to the corridor where the bug was found, and search from bottom to top.
There is no need to pick the lock, because some of the wooden doors have been moth-eaten for a long time, and the door can be broken with a hard push. Of course, there is nothing you can do about a completely rusted metal door.
I found a room that had not been ransacked on the fifth floor. I wandered around but couldn't find any usable books.
In the end, I took a car refrigerator and took it with me, as well as the decades-old canned drinks in the refrigerator, because sugar does not go moldy and might still be drinkable, but it would taste a little weird at most.
Don't take anything else for now, just run away.
Hang Chi Hang Chi dragged the sled to the front of the base building. The next step was more difficult.
Although the washbasin-sized Xiao Qiang is weak, he is very annoying. He will inevitably be harassed at the top of the stairs while dragging the sled in.
The bug was also in bad shape, and it was difficult to carry or hold it through the elevator ceiling on the third floor.
Think differently this time.
Wang Qi went in, lowered a wire rope from the fourth floor, went downstairs to tie a rope with it, and dragged it upstairs.
This made a lot of noise, and he wouldn't have dared to do it if it wasn't for heavy snow.
I made several trips back and forth to get everything to the fourth floor.
First remove the fat pieces from the bugs to prevent bacterial growth and damage, then remove the legs. Then see how much meat is in those thin legs. We will study the remaining parts later when we have time. Send away the ones that cannot be eaten. For the little ones.
After doing this, seeing that the snow had not stopped outside, Wang Qi decided to go out again and do something big - cut down trees.
Go back upstairs, get some fat and eat to replenish the energy you need next, replace the steel weapon with a logging ax that you usually don't want to use, and bring a self-rescue rope.
The wooden handle of this ax has a crack near the joint with the ax head, which is not far from damage. It alone may not be able to bring down the tree at the target point. Wang Qi also brought a wire saw.
Go downstairs, pull up the sled, go out the main entrance on the east side of the azimuth, and cross the road opposite the base building.
A few dozen meters east of the road, there is a small park on the corner of the street.
The steel jungle often begins to collapse at the point where the topsoil is exposed.
There are cracks everywhere on the road next to the small park on the corner of the street. Many pavements are arched, and trees are growing out of the cracks.
I put down the sled and walked around twice to observe. No bugs were found, so I started cutting.
The target was an oak tree... or maybe an oak tree. Anyway, it looked almost the same and had a similar texture. It was generally used to make furniture. He planned to replace axes and other tools with wooden handles.
This oak tree is not very big. It grows out from the edge of the corner park. It is about twenty centimeters in diameter at the bottom.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Cutting down trees is actually very stress-relieving, but cutting trees is very tiring.
In order not to be attacked by the half-frozen insects, he chopped around the tree, using his ax several times.
Because I had no experience, I couldn't cut the front and rear axes together, so I did a lot of useless work. After stopping for an hour, the tree was still fine, and it was only thinned in one circle.
After doing the math, there is about fifteen centimeters left.
After such a long time, it is basically certain that the insects will not come, and you can focus on cutting in one direction.
After swinging the ax for dozens more times, I decided to saw the line.
I stepped on the tree with one foot and pulled one end of the saw wire with each hand. I fumbled with the method of applying force and gradually became proficient.
The saw wire was used by a machine, and the manual efficiency was average, but it was okay for sawing trees. It took twenty minutes to saw through the heart of the tree in both directions.
If the ax hits this position, the tree can be placed in the next few ax blows due to the size of the opening. The seam cut by the scroll saw was too thin, so we had to continue.
After sawing for a while, only the thick door panel was left unpierced. Then I changed the axe and started cutting from the side that was deliberately left unsawed.
After cutting it for a few minutes, it felt like it was going to fall over, but it just wouldn't move.
He took the self-rescue rope and threw it onto a tree branch.
Jump up, pull down the end of the rope, tie a knot, and go around to the other side of the tree to pull.
There is snow under the feet, and the friction is not enough. For a tree, its strength at this time is not great. This strength only strengthens the effect of gravity.
The tree was slightly bent, and the weight from above caused the remaining part to bear the transverse shear force... Anyway, no matter what happened, Wang Qi continued to toss for a while, and the tree still had to fall.
More trouble comes next.
The chopped down oak tree only had a distinguishable trunk of just over two meters, and its upward branches were radiating, with each branch being more than ten centimeters thick.
This shape cannot be loaded into a truck by cutting off branches, it can only be pulled away in its entirety.
Wang Qi circled the oak tree twice, then stuffed the simple sled under the bottom, then chopped off two ax heads, pushed hard, and the bottom fell onto the sled.
If there are sleigh trees, the snow will not be pushed away, but will be kept underneath.
Next up is the deadlift.
An oak tree of more than 20 centimeters is considered a small tree, and its total weight including the crown leaves is not more than 500 kilograms. Even if there are some errors, it is not a big problem. After all, it is not difficult for humans to drag a car, and small trees are even more difficult. It's light, it just looks big.
Tie the self-rescue rope, and then use a roll of wire rope to fix the wire mesh between the bottom end and the sled, and pull it.
The snow reduced the traction provided by Wang Qi, and also reduced the friction between the tree and the ground. Because it was new snow without ice, Wang Qi could still take advantage.
After slipping twice, it took half an hour to get the tree to the front of the base building.
Wood needs to be dried in the shade if it is to be used as a handy tool or weapon. Wang Qi was not sure whether this was necessary in this place with very short sunshine, but cutting down trees consumed too much energy. In order to not cut down too many trees and to have more good materials for use, he decided to move them into the building. .
Wang Qi could still find a way to hoist hundreds of kilograms of I-shaped steel up the stairs, as well as straight poplars, but not crown-shaped ones like oak trees.
We can only get it into the first floor.
The side of the building facing the street is completely sealed. There is also a pile of debris on the side facing the courtyard, but it can be unlocked.
I went around the underground garage and went upstairs to rest for more than an hour without rushing to do anything.
It was already dawn when I got up.
After eating, I put down my backpack and everything, and went downstairs with only the three basic equipment of steel bars, scissors and hunting knives.
Before starting the construction, check all the shopping malls from the first to the third floor. Except for a few stray little ones in the dark corners of the first floor, no crawlers were seen.
Open the back door.
The back door is blocked by a large number of freezers and display racks, which are tied to each other with chains. It seems that there is room to open the door again from the beginning. All you need to do is remove the discus and other objects stuck at the bottom of the freezer to drag the pile of debris.
It took some effort to get it open, then pulled out the steel bar between the two door handles, and opened the door.
Although it is a double door at the back entrance of the mall, it is still too small for the oak canopy.
Wang Qi used a scroll saw to slim down the crown of the tree.
To save energy, he only cuts parts less than five centimeters in diameter.
Even so, it was already noon when most of them were sawed off.
The snow had stopped a long time ago, and the traces he had left on the tree were covered by the snowfall. The untouched areas were covered with more than 20 centimeters of snow. With the air content of this snow, it is probably equivalent to 30 to 50 millimeters of precipitation?
Take another break and go upstairs to have something to eat.
Start moving.
The main trunk is pulled into the hall, and small branches and leaves, which are good fuel after drying, are transported to the third floor in batches.
The scattered leaves are not wasted. They are gathered together and put into the elevator shaft to make feed for Xiaoqiang in the underground garage.
...It seems that oak leaves can repel insects. I don’t know whether Xiaoqiang eats them or not. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t eat them. There is a fungus that does the intermediate transformation.
Close the door and push the pile of debris back over to block it.
Before going upstairs to sleep, he glanced at the crack in the door of the stairwell opposite the first floor and waved.
