When logging and chopping wood, food must be increased. This is the rule set by my mother.
When Kai and Shanna came back, they were shaking the water glasses they were holding. It looked like they had committed a lot of crimes. Lin decided to give them a better treatment, fried steaks, and no side dishes.
It was only when Lin came to a new place that she discovered that Shana preferred to gnaw on meat rather than the cut meat.
When I was cutting the meat, I felt something was wrong. As I was cutting it, I asked, "Is this four kilograms?"
Kai became alert: "Is it missing?"
"too much."
As the material manager and food distributor of the family, Lin is very sensitive to weight. This is not a difference of one or two hundred grams, but maybe half a kilogram more.
"ah?"
While several people were wondering, Wang Qi came in from the other side and fetched hot water to take a bath.
Lin pointed at the meat: "There's a lot of meat."
After several days of contact, Lin also began to dare to talk to Wang directly.
Wang Qi didn't look at it and replied in the local language: "The torch is consumed."
... Reasonable, Lin said nothing and continued to prepare food for everyone.
She knew in her heart that Wang was just looking for an excuse to support them. I just don’t quite understand why, what is their family planning?
This family does not have any irreplaceable skills. Because the proportion of non-working people is large and there is no reserve, the only thing that can attract covetous people is the number of women.
But these days, Wang seems to not even look at several young women. Instead, he pays more attention to his mother. Does he have any strange hobbies?
OK.
Wang Qike doesn't care how many inner dramas other people have, he doesn't have the time to figure it out. His strong physical ability gives him the confidence to deal with all variables.
The next day was the same. I hired two people to help drag all the twigs back, and I swept away the snow piled on the main trunk to start thinking about it.
In the industrial era, not every giant log had the opportunity to be sent to the log drying workshop, which was greatly affected by road conditions. Burying the trunk under snow for several months to naturally cool and dry is not an unacceptable method of disposal.
But maybe some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder broke out, and Wang Qi was very unhappy.
Pushing away the snow on top, it proved that I was not overthinking it. At this time, there were several cracks from the outside to the inside in the two sections of the oak wood. The deepest one was about ten centimeters.
It may be related to the fact that the temperature is too low and the moisture expands due to freezing. If left unchecked, it may cause penetrating injuries, which can even split logs directly like wood.
Give it a try.
When the two employees came back from their trip, Wang Qi handed them the two hand saws he had brought:
"This, the saw is so deep." Use your finger to mark the depth and mark the position with snow.
The two tried to imagine what he was going to do, but they didn't dare to think deeply. If this thing could move, they might have to reconsider the position of human beings in this world.
Just do it.
A giant log with a diameter of one meter is about the size of two people hugging each other, and its surface curvature is relatively small. It cannot be cut with a bow saw. The wire saw cannot meet the requirements for grooving, so it can only be sawed by hand... which is a handle with a wedge-shaped saw blade. .
This thing must be the main tool used by the survivors to deal with wood. They have already found it. Wang Qi only found two of them during the search south of the gymnasium. They were also used for gardening. There were internal arcs on the surface where the saw teeth were located.
The inner arc didn't fit very well, and it was quite uncomfortable for the two of them to use. There was no way to replace it. They didn't have anything better.
The most preserved saw is the bow saw, because the saw blades are highly standardized. Once you find them, there are often whole boxes of saw blades nearby, but most bow saws are not suitable for sawing logs. The two hand saws they have are enough to exchange for hundreds of kilograms of food (non-meat). Most of the ones they can find now are extremely rusty and will become useless after just a few saws.
According to Wang Qi's request, the two sawed a deep and less than five centimeters wide opening in the log. Wang Qi took advantage of this time to plow the snow next to the main trunk into a slope. After they finished, he went up and pushed it.
The huge log turned over with some snow and rolled onto the slope.
The two people who had been sweating just now suddenly had cold hands and feet. They thought of a possibility that they didn't even dare to guess - Wang didn't rely on skill and strength to kill the scorpion ant guard, maybe... directly. Beat to death!
It is necessary to leave a deep impression first. Maybe it will help when the back of the head grows back one day.
...In fact, Wang Qi didn't think that much at all. Since he added points too quickly after reaching [Evolution Master III], he was already a little drifting. For the time being, he does have the ability to fly. Even if a normal person holds a weapon, the threat he can pose to him is extremely limited. It is almost impossible to cut him with a knife. With his current muscle strength, it is difficult for an assault rifle to cause a penetrating wound. , it’s good if the warhead can penetrate into the muscle.
Although he was a little drifting, fortunately he was still used to using his brain. When he looked back and saw the two of them staring blankly, he could probably guess the reason.
It's a good opportunity.
"This is the power of flying noodles, and you will also have the opportunity to get it." This sentence is the local language version he had prepared long ago.
It was originally supposed to be called Flying Spaghetti Monster or FSM, but I felt that the word "Monsterism" was too closely associated with disaster and the abbreviation of "Monsterism" for friends from another world was not very gregarious, so it was better to remove Monster.
The two of them were still confused, unable to understand the necessary connection between flying, noodles and strength.
As a staunch materialist warrior, Wang Qi has read several miscellaneous books on the theory of religious formation and archeology. He has never believed in any religion. He bought a priest position and just joined in the fun with the idiots. The "Bajie" of the Flying Noodle Sect is all. Can't carry it all. So he doesn't hesitate to explain to others now. The more explanations, the more flaws there will be.
He picked up a handful of snow and drew a line on the wood: "Let's cut another line."
Knock on wood, the two came to their senses and quickly got to work.
Make eye contact while doing things.
They now somewhat believe what Waliyahuchai said some time ago - the king may simply be a good person and does not want anything from them, because with such power, anything can be solved by force, and no human being can resist.
Wang deliberately concealed his strength, probably to avoid putting too much pressure on them.
While they were sawing wood, Wang Qi went back and brought a bundle of climbing ropes and two bundles of nylon ropes. The diameters of the cross-sections were more than one centimeter, and they were so thin that they were afraid of breaking.
The three ropes were twisted together like braids. When he was almost done, the two of them finished their work.
The ten-meter-long rope was twisted together and tied to the log. It was wrapped around the arm a few times and hung on the shoulder. There was only two meters left. If it was shorter, it would not be easily broken.
I tried to pull it, but the friction was really not enough. After exerting force, my foot slipped into a bow stance, and the wood only moved ten centimeters.
"My feet are too slippery, please help me." He spoke in his native language and took the rope given to the two of them and tied it to the tree.
Divide the ends of the rope between the two people, and gesture at the same time: "Listen to my command and use force, one, two, three--!"
Not the native language, but the body language is clear enough.
The two tied the rope around their waists in their own way, using their hands and feet together to increase their grip.
Wang Qi also tried to dig it with one hand, but it was useless, so he just pulled it. Mainly due to low grip, it all depends on the explosive power he releases before slipping.
After all, it is dragging on the snow, and it is much easier with two people to help. Even if each person only provides a few hundred Newtons of traction, it is enough to barely move tons of objects. The log is more than four meters tall and only weighs a few tons in total.
Shouting slogans to pull the log back to the base, and going up the back stairs, the two of them couldn't help. Wang Qi changed his shoes and did it alone.
Then send two people to get the remaining branches back and call it a day.
