Chen Chao led the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to rest in a cave near the Brown Tribe, but it was not yet noon and there was nothing to do.
Chen Chao discussed with the little old man, and planned to let Qu lead the Killer Five and the two newly acquired men from the Brown Tribe to hunt together to supplement food consumption.
It is best if you can hunt medium-sized furry beasts. This will not only supplement the meat, but also provide some cold-proof animal skins for the newcomers. After all, it is not a problem to wear cold bark all the time~
Maybe he would catch a cold if he couldn't go out for an hour after going to Datribe. Then if you accidentally miss it, the Yuan tribe will really suffer a lot that day...
Before leaving, Chen Chao took out two of the six animal skins from the little old man and gave them to the two new men. But it was only wrapped around their bodies, and the chest and waist were tied with straw ropes, which kept them warm without affecting their movements.
He also asked the little old man to find him two pairs of pockmarked sandals and socks with animal skins.
With the help of Qu, the two new men quickly learned how to wear straw sandals.
As for the animal skin clothes on their bodies, Super Chen asked the two to stretch their arms and legs, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with their activities, he let them set off with Qu and the Killer Five.
The rest of the people stayed near the cave, collected some stones and wood suitable for making weapons, and gave spears to the newly added four men and three women first. The stone ax can only be put away first, and then made after seeing a suitable stone on the road.
Those who have no animal skin clothes or shoes for the time being can only stay in the cave shivering and warming up.
Just after noon, the first batch of bark was delivered by the Brown tribe. After the bark was delivered, Super Chen asked them to put the bark at the entrance of the cave.
Then he called those who were making spears to come out and move the bark into the cave, and he began to study how the coir raincoat was made.
Super Chen probably checked it out, and found that the coir raincoat is not easy to fix. The required materials are as follows:
The first step: the brown bark of the palm tree. (existing)
The second step: palm rope, this is made of palm leaves. (Not yet, let’s try to see if we can replace it with straw rope. If not, we will ask for it after the people from the Brown Tribe arrive at night. If we make another request, we may lose several pairs of straw sandals.)
(Also: This step is very troublesome and requires the matching of iron claws. It is currently unlikely to be possible.)
Step 3: Prepare iron needles and thimbles. (I don’t have iron needles, but I have bone needles from when I used to make animal skin clothes. I don’t have any thimbles either. It might be more difficult to handle, but it’s not unbearable.
Or let Qu's little follower Banzhi follow the method of making wheels temporarily, get some wooden 'thimbles' out and see if they can be used? )
After finding out the bone needles he carried with him from the little old man, Chen Chao went to find some thinner straw ropes, and then told Zhi what he wanted.
Super Chen spread out the bark he just got on the ground, and began to think about how to sew this thing.
Not long after, Zhi came to Chao Chen with the first version of the wooden 'thimble'. But the effect was not satisfactory. Chen Chao thought that this thing might be a finger puller, just to protect his hands from being pricked by needles.
In the early days, there was indeed a wooden top, but the existing processing technology is still unable to deal with such fine things, but it can only be used barely.
After preparing the tools, Chen Chao began to think about weaving the coir raincoat.
The first step is to weave the coir raincoat from the neckline. There should be 15 or 6 palm leaves arranged on the neckline. The neckline is sewn with brown locks, and then the neckline is shaped. A round bowl is enough for the neckline to be shaped. After the neckline is finished, the last is Pat the neckline to make the collar of the coir raincoat loose and more comfortable to wear.
The second step is positioning. The coir raincoat is first threaded with needles and then threaded. The surface and bottom of the coir raincoat are stitched together with thin threads.
The third process is "stitching". The production of coir raincoats mainly depends on stitching, and the shoulders, chest and skirt are stitched together with brown locks.
The little old man with the ram's horn saw that Chen Chao was spreading the bark on the ground and gesticulating. He stepped forward curiously, and was just used by Chen Chao as a mannequin.
I don't know much about laying it flat, but when it is put on a person, the bark will become three-dimensional immediately after being stretched. Some things that Chen Chao didn't understand before, he immediately understood.
The first step is relatively simple, the second and third steps need attention.
The second step involves the rain-blocking effect of the coir raincoat and the effect of activities in the rain.
Therefore, to make a mino mould, it is necessary to choose a brown piece with a wider and longer brown surface to make the mold.
The whole coir raincoat looks like a big butterfly with slightly upturned wings and a round neckline made of coir coir bones in the middle. Put it on your body, no matter how heavy the rain is, it will not make people wet.
The coir raincoat is divided into two parts, the upper skirt and the lower skirt. The upper skirt is 3 feet wide and 2 feet long (this is a general size, but there is no accurate measurement tool now, and the "model" little old man is mainly used as the temporary production standard).
The lower skirt is shaped like a 'horizontal axis', more than 3 feet wide and 1.8 feet long (same here).
The two sides of the 'horizontal axis' are connected with two pieces of skirts, which are used as a breastplate, hanging from the chest, and then surrounding the lower calf.
The third step involves how to stitch together the previous things, which is also a crucial point.
The coir raincoat has a surface and an inside, and both sides must be stitched. The inner space is relatively large, and the space between thick and thin lines is about 1 inch, but the surface sutures are densely packed without space.
Well, the current technology can be realized, but it is quite time-consuming and manpower-consuming. I don’t know how long it will take to make a complete coir raincoat...
Fortunately, now that there are three more women in the team, it might not be realistic for them to push a unicycle during the day. It is estimated that the team of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can only handle the logistics work, and they cannot let them eat for nothing.
It is estimated that the production of coir raincoats in the later stage will be mainly handed over to them.
After figuring out the idea of making the coir raincoat, Chen Chao called the three women who were warming up over the fire, and the other two men who hadn't gone out also followed.
Super Chen didn't say anything after seeing it. It would be good for one more person to learn, and then two more people can help weave the coir raincoat.
When the sun was too late, Chen Chao just started the third step of making coir raincoats, and the hunting team led by Qu returned with a full load.
First of all, I saw the few people in the front, carrying four pheasants of the brown tribe. Super Chen was very satisfied. It seemed that the two newcomers were very enlightened. They took Qu and the others to the place where the Brown tribe often hunted so quickly.
When he saw Qu and others carrying a few fluffy little black bears on their shoulders, Chao Chen's expression changed.
Fuck...
little black bear...
You also dare to catch
Although I don't know how Qu and the others caught the little black bear, but it is estimated that the little black bear's mother is on the way to find the child right now.
After Chen Chao asked the happy hunting team to return to the cave, he called out the little old man and quickly explained the specific situation.
The little old man's face changed when he heard it, because it was going to be dark soon. As long as it gets dark, it will be a great disadvantage to our combat.
He told Super Chen about his worries, and Super Chen nodded, and then told the little old man about his specific plan.
Anyway, it is dark to fight, that is a serious matter, although a bonfire can also be lit now. But on the one hand, their wood reserves are insufficient. It is okay to light a small bonfire in the cave for one night, but it is not acceptable to light several large bonfires outside the cave for one night.
Now I can only huddle in the cave for one night, and wait for tomorrow's dawn to compete with the black bear mother who may come to find her child!
And if you want to stay in the cave for a night, you have to go to the Brown tribe to borrow a relatively large stone to block the entrance of the cave. The second thing to confirm is whether there is a second air outlet in this cave.
Then it is to prepare all the materials that will be used for one night in advance, as much wood as possible, and as much snow water as possible.
After Chen Chao finished his plan, the little old man agreed very much. The two hit it off and decided to work together quickly. Chen Chao took two strong men to borrow stones, while the little old man organized the initial fortifications and stored enough daily supplies such as wood and snow water in the cave.
