Two consecutive days of heavy rain have caused most areas of the Fuhe Rainforest to be filled with rainwater. Take the water accumulation in this area as an example, it covers an area of 50 square kilometers, and most of the water depth is more than ten meters. In some areas
The water depth even reaches an astonishing 50 meters, just like a prehistoric lake.
And the stagnant water here is not ordinary stagnant water, but highly corrosive acid rain.
The harm of acid rain is extremely huge, especially for the respiratory tract, which is almost fatal. Without the help of tools for protection, even if you quickly cross the water area, your body will suffer great harm, so this dangerous Lin Shuhang will not
It's easy to take risks.
But we can't stay here forever. Although the water subsides with the passage of time, it is a very long process. It will take at least a week for such a large amount of water to completely subside. After such a long time, Lin Shuhang
We can't afford to wait, we must find a way to get through this waterlogged area before starving to death.
There are many tools for crossing water, so Lin Shuhang decided to make a boat.
Since no one is crossing the water alone, the buoyancy of the boat must support the weight of himself and the crazy general.
In other words, the ship's carrying capacity must reach 50 tons. If it is less than 50 tons, there is a possibility of sinking. It would be a very terrible thing to sink the ship in a dangerous acid rain water area.
In order to ensure enough buoyancy, Lin Shuhang decided to make a raft. A raft is a common water crossing tool. It not only has good buoyancy and carrying capacity, but its production method is also very simple. As long as you have a few, you can make a raft.
.
In the mysterious Fuhe Rainforest, the most indispensable thing is trees. This is the area with the most diverse plant species on the Titan continent, with more than 100 million different types of trees and plants, so there is never a shortage of materials here.
, what is missing are tools that can be used to cut wood.
Although there are no logging tools such as axes and machetes, Lin Shuhang cannot be troubled by such trivial matters. You must know that he is accompanied by a 40-ton Titan bear. A giant creature of this level is simply a heavy engineering machine.
It is quite easy to break some trees.
"Crazy General, if we want to cross the river, we must make a boat." Lin Shuhang said to the Crazy General on the side: "Shipbuilding requires big trees. Go and get some big trees."
"Roar!" The mad general roared, and under Lin Shuhang's command, he began to cut trees in the forest.
As expected of a 40-ton Titan Bear, it has quite a lot of brute strength.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The 40-ton Mad General was like a heavy bulldozer, using its huge size to rampage through the woods, knocking down large tracts of trees.
"Okay, that's enough, Crazy General, that's enough!" Lin Shuhang stopped the general when he saw the trees were about to grow.
"Put these big trees in a row and find some strong vines to connect them to each other. Remember, they must be tied tightly."
Because Lin Shuhang had a broken arm and could not participate in the construction of the raft, he could only rely on commanding the mad general to build the raft.
The crazy general also understood Lin Shuhang's instructions. Under his command, he clumsily arranged the big trees on the ground one by one. Then he found some strong vines and tied the big trees one by one in series.
.
In less than an hour, a simple raft appeared in front of Lin Shuhang and the Crazy General.
After carefully checking the raft, he found that it was still quite solid and there was no major problem. Lin Shuhang nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, it looks quite solid. Well done, Crazy General."
"Roar!" After receiving Lin Shuhang's praise, the Crazy General roared, looking very happy.
"Okay, it's time to cross the water." Lin Shuhang and Crazy General pushed the huge raft into the water area together.
The huge raft floated steadily in the water area, and there seemed to be no problem.
Lin Shuhang jumped on first. As Lin Shuhang jumped in, the raft dropped about 20 centimeters. This did not attract Lin Shuhang's attention because the thickness of the entire raft exceeded one and a half meters.
"The ship is about to sail, Crazy General, come up quickly." Lin Shuhang called to Crazy General.
"Roar!" the mad general roared, leapt up and jumped onto the homemade raft.
An accident happened at this time.
Since the trees used to make the raft are all new and highly humid, their buoyancy cannot support the weight of Lin Shuhang and the Crazy General.
Leaving aside Lin Shuhang for now, the weight of the general alone exceeds an astonishing 40 tons.
The Mad General's jump was like a big weight, and the raft sank quickly. The acid rain quickly soaked the knees of Lin Shuhang and the Mad General.
Looking at the rapidly sinking raft, Lin Shuhang was startled and shouted to the Crazy General: "Crazy General, get down quickly. You are too heavy. The boat is sinking under you. Get down quickly, get down quickly."
This sudden accident startled the crazy general on the raft, and he quickly left the sinking raft without waiting for Lin Shuhang's urging.
With a weight loss of 40 tons, the sinking raft floated again.
After the Crazy General left the raft, Lin Shuhang also jumped onto the shore.
Looking at the homemade raft, Lin Shuhang frowned.
"No, Crazy General, these big trees are too humid and not buoyant enough to support the weight of you and me. We must find a way to add some buoyancy to this raft."
At first, Lin Shuhang wanted to increase the buoyancy of the entire raft by increasing the number of driftwood. However, doing so had to face a serious problem, that is: the driftwood used to make the raft was very wet, and increasing the number of driftwood would seriously affect the raft's buoyancy.
to the overall thickness of the raft.
After all, this is just an area of stagnant water formed after rain, not the open sea. If the raft is too thick, it will become bulky and inflexible, and it may even get stuck in the shallow water while driving. And if it runs aground in the shallow water, it will be difficult to advance or retreat.
No, Lin Shuhang and Crazy General would probably starve to death on this raft.
"Damn, the humidity of these driftwoods is too high. Increasing the number of driftwoods will inevitably affect the thickness of the raft. How can we increase the buoyancy of the raft without affecting the thickness of the raft?" Lin Shuhang frowned and kept thinking.
I was thinking hard about ways to increase the buoyancy of the raft.
The crazy general on the side got impatient and squatted down to gnaw on the huge earthworm skin.
"Crazy General, we are going to die here soon, and you are still in the mood to eat." Lin Shuhang couldn't help complaining about the Crazy General.
"Wait a minute!" Lin Shuhang seemed to have thought of something and said excitedly to the Crazy General: "I have thought of a way to increase the buoyancy of the wooden raft."
The Crazy General blinked and looked at Lin Shuhang in confusion.
"Earthworms!" Lin Shuhang said excitedly: "We can use earthworm skins to increase the buoyancy of the raft!"
