Under the giant tree, Gao Wanyi lifted all the dead leaves under the tree to a distance, and then lit up a bonfire.
As for the purpose of this bonfire——
While continuing to drive away the poisonous insects, she was also eradicating the traces. She put the wooden blocks thrown down by Cen Xi and burned them. She didn't want people to see that these huge wooden blocks were cut out with a single knife.
Although raw wood is not easy to ignite, there are many dead branches anyway, so just burn slowly.
time flies.
Just over an hour later, the spiral staircase reached a height of ten meters and was trimmed to the position of horizontally growing branches.
This speed is beyond the reach of even a rabbit.
Because the horizontally growing tree trunks are not completely crowded together, Cen Xi let the spiral staircase pass between two of the tree trunks.
Once the spiral staircase was as high as the tree trunk platform, he began to dig inward to dig out a tree house.
Although the main trunk above the branch steps is smaller, it is still about two meters and three meters in diameter.
With such a diameter, you can dig out a tree house that can accommodate people.
The most important thing is that there are dense branches appearing five or six meters up from here. The total height of this tree is only less than twenty meters.
In this way, the weight from above will not be too great, and as long as the tree house is not dug too far, the giant tree will not be broken.
In a short time, a tree house with a height of 2.5 meters, a depth of 2 meters, and a width of only 1.5 meters was taken shape.
Cen Xi only left one meter wide and two meters high for the door of the tree house, which would make it easier to get the door panel down later.
If this tree house can also generate upgrade data, then there is no need to worry about the stability issue.
'Just in case, it's better to cut off some of the upper tree trunks to reduce the load and prevent the giant tree from breaking. '
'I just happened to need some materials for doors, windows and balconies, and those tree trunks were just the thing. '
Anyway, the knife is sharp enough so it won't be too troublesome to do.
"Sister Wanyi, why don't you come up first? I need to cut down some tree trunks to prevent them from being hit."
Cen Xi said to Gao Wanyi under the tree, while taking out the backpack and putting it into the tree house.
"Okay." Gao Wanyi nodded, and used the wooden spear to move the wood blocks and dead leaves farther away.
After making sure that it would not cause a fire, she got up and walked to the spiral staircase and walked up the stairs.
Soon, she came to the tree house, looked at the tree house with flat walls that had been dug out inside, and exclaimed: "Brother Cen Xi's hands are so skillful, sister is blessed."
"Sister Wanyi, just don't mind that the tree house is small." Cen Xi said with a smile.
He didn't explain about the knife, and Gao Wanyi didn't ask. They both made a tacit agreement not to mention it.
After Gao Wanyi entered the tree house, he climbed to the top of the tree.
Taking into account issues such as shelter from the sun and rain and defense against enemies from the sky, he specifically selected and cut off some vertically overlapping branches.
These branches are not small, the largest ones are even one meter long.
In order to prevent the branches below from being broken, Cen Xi cut them off section by section and collected the parts he wanted.
"Wow..."
"boom……"
I saw logs falling from above, and soon they were all covered under the tree.
"What's going on over there?"
"Holy crap, did the guy over there bring a chainsaw?"
At the edge of the gathering place a hundred meters away, several night watchmen asked in surprise.
But it was already very late at night, so it was not necessary and they didn't bother to look. They would know it tomorrow anyway.
Leaving the gathering place at night is a very dangerous thing.
Because the place Cen Xi chose was beyond the scope of the current gathering place and was not within the scope of their patrol.
…
It took Cen Xi nearly two hours to chop down all the vertically overlapping branches.
Because he needed to save materials for making balconies and door panels, he specially set aside some wood.
After flattening all the protrusions that could injure people, he spent some effort to cut the thick wood into a wooden board that was twenty centimeters thick.
At the branch platform, not all branches are crowded together.
Cen Xi then made two grooves in the middle of the branches with gaps, and then embedded the thick wooden boards in them.
In this way, you can move around without worrying about falling.
In addition, there is the fence.
Perhaps due to a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, after finishing the balcony, Cen Xi used thick wooden boards to surround the tree house and built a fence with a height of about 1.3 meters.
The fence was two meters away from the tree house, and the branches at his feet were also flattened by him.
Where there were gaps, he also embedded them with wood to ensure that he would not slip and fall into the gaps when he moved around.
In this way, coming out of the tree house is a flat balcony corridor.
Not counting the tree house itself, this balcony corridor is equivalent to a circular air corridor with a radius of two meters.
With the support of thick horizontally growing tree trunks, there is no need to worry about collapse.
Because the folding knife is sharp enough, it is so easy to do this kind of woodworking. The only difficulty is that the raw wood is too heavy.
But these are not big problems.
Finally, there is the wooden door.
Considering that the tree house might produce upgrade data, Cen Xi used wood to make bearings and door lock hinges to connect the door panels to the door frame of the tree house.
In this way, a wooden door that opens outwards is formed.
It doesn't matter if the current bearings and door lock hinges are not strong enough. As long as they can be upgraded, it won't be a problem.
It is worth mentioning that this door panel is a whole piece, which is cut from the largest tree trunk. It is one meter wide, two meters high, and five centimeters thick.
After doing this, Cen Xi seemed to have real obsessive-compulsive disorder. He evaluated the load-bearing capacity of the tree house, then expanded the tree house a bit, and dug out a small window opposite the door for ventilation. .
He also used a door lock hinge for this window and connected it to a window leaf with a small hole dug out.
This window leaf can be opened upward and supported by wood to obtain light.
"I always feel like there's something missing... By the way, there should be a door at the entrance and exit of the stairs, so outsiders can't come up casually."
Thinking of this, Cen Xi spent some time and made a skylight and manhole cover.
The manhole cover door can be locked with wooden bolts from above and can only be opened from above.
In this way, people coming up from below cannot easily reach the balcony, let alone enter the tree house, and safety issues are guaranteed.
It wasn't until late at night that the work was finally completed.
"It should be fine, that's it."
Cen Xi breathed a sigh of relief and patted the sawdust on his hands.
And at this moment, suddenly, he raised his head as if feeling something.
At the top of the tree, a huge data appeared:
[Treehouse platform lv.1: 0/100 (ordinary treehouse platform, any creature that comes to live on this tree can be regarded as a member of the treehouse platform, and can contribute to the growth of the treehouse platform , a single member, the total stay time, every hour, can provide a little growth value for the tree house; cannot be upgraded)]
'Upgrade data is really born! '
Cen Xi felt happy.
With this upgrade data, you don't have to worry about your treehouse being crushed by the weight of the tree crown.
When he was expanding the interior of the treehouse, he was worried that the tree crown would be too heavy and would crush the treehouse.
But as long as you continue to upgrade, this problem will disappear.
Suddenly Cen Xi saw the words in brackets:
'Any creature that comes to live in this tree can be considered a member of the treehouse platform, and can all contribute to the growth of the treehouse platform? '
Cen Xi immediately began to think: 'Could it be said that birds come to make their homes in the tree canopy...or that regardless of whether they have made their homes or not, as long as they come, they can provide experience for the tree house? '
This function seems to be OK.
Because even though I tried to use as large pieces of wood as possible to build the balcony, I still used ninety-nine pieces of wood.
Including the giant tree itself, there are one hundred parts, and the initial experience is one hundred points, which is one hundred points of growth value.
A single member needs to stay for a total of one hour to gain some experience.
If there was no external experience gained, he and Gao Wanyi alone would need to stay here for at least five days to fully accumulate experience.
And if birds and other creatures stay in this tree, they can also gain experience, and the upgrade speed will be greatly increased.
