I have to admit that inspiration sometimes comes in just a moment.
Just when Lin Shuhang was thinking about how to increase the buoyancy of the raft, the crazy general who was eating earthworm skins gave him an idea, and he came up with the idea of using earthworm skins to make a raft to increase the buoyancy of the raft.
"There is a way!" Lin Shuhang said excitedly to Crazy General: "Crazy General, we can use earthworm skin to provide the required buoyancy for the raft. Believe me, this method will definitely work!"
"In this case, you go get some giant earthworms." Lin Shuhang told the crazy general: "Remember, you must not break the body of the earthworms, otherwise the air will leak. Go back quickly, I will wait for you here."
"Roar!" the mad general responded, and immediately turned around and went back to look for giant earthworms that could be used to make rafts.
Due to different living habits, the mortality rate of earthworms is very high on rainy days. More than half of the giant earthworms that emerge from the ground due to lack of oxygen die within 5 to 8 hours.
The causes of death are varied. Some are caused by acid rain and lack of oxygen in stagnant areas, while others are caused by long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays.
In this case, it is not difficult for the crazy general to find a few dead earthworms.
Soon, the crazy general returned to Lin Shuhang carrying two giant earthworm carcasses that looked like trains.
With a loud "boom", the mad general removed the giant earthworms from his shoulders. These two giant earthworms weighed more than ten tons. The mad general threw them to the ground and roared, causing the ground to tremble.
"Roar!" The crazy general who successfully completed his mission roared at Lin Shuhang.
"Thank you, Crazy General!" Lin Shuhang praised the Crazy General and said to him: "We have to find a way to get out the internal organs of the giant earthworm. Those internal organs are of no use. We only need the skin of the earthworm."
Lin Shuhang thought for a while and said: "Find a big tree. We will use the big tree to roll out the innards of the giant earthworm. Remember, the tree must be a round and straight tree, not too thick or too big."
Fine, I just need to look at the big tree over there, you go over and break it."
"Roar!" the mad general responded, rushing over like a bulldozer and breaking the big tree in half.
This big tree is a type of cedar tree, and its texture is very hard. The diameter of the whole tree is as thick as a water tank, and it is round and straight. It is perfect for being used as a "rolling pin".
Under Lin Shuhang's command, the Mad General processed all the branches of the big tree, and then together with Lin Shuhang, he processed the internal organs of these giant earthworms.
They first laid the giant earthworm's body flat on the ground, and then one by one, holding the big tree, they used the tree to crush the giant earthworm's body like rolling noodles.
As the big tree was crushed, the smelly mud spewed out from its mouth like a faucet for hundreds of meters. The scene was very spectacular.
"Crazy General, let's roll it out a few more times. We must roll out all the mud from the belly of the giant earthworm, otherwise we won't be able to make a raft."
"Roar!" Crazy General responded, working even harder.
Under the rolling back and forth of the "giant rolling pin", the giant earthworm's internal organs rapidly reduced, and its body became more and more deflated. In the end, only a skin with no internal organs was left.
The weight of the giant earthworm without its internal organs has been reduced by more than 80%. In other words, at least ten tons of mud were violently rolled out of the giant earthworm's body by Lin Shuhang and the crazy general using a big tree. It can be imagined that this is a huge amount of mud.
What an amazing creature.
After using the same method to roll out the internal organs of another giant earthworm from the body, Lin Shuhang and Crazy General obtained two extremely tough giant earthworm skin bags, but one was slightly larger and the other was slightly smaller. The actual difference was not big.
The next thing to do is to inflate the giant earthworm's skin bag. Only the earthworm skin bag filled with gas can provide effective buoyancy for the raft, otherwise it will be of no use to Lin Shuhang and the Crazy General.
Since there was no inflating tool, Lin Shuhang and Crazy General had to use an extremely primitive and extremely clumsy inflating method - blowing with their mouths!
"Come on, Crazy General, don't stand here stupidly, take one piece per person and start blowing!" Lin Shuhang said, picking up the giant earthworm skin bag, aiming at the mouth of the bag and blowing hard into it.
Inflating the skin bag with your mouth is a test of human lung capacity. After all, this is a giant earthworm skin bag nearly 100 meters long and requires almost 500 cubic meters of gas.
Fortunately, both Lin Shuhang and Crazy General are very large, and their lung capacity is also very amazing. Basically, they can blow out one cubic meter of gas in one breath, but even so, they have to blow five to six hundred puffs of gas continuously, which requires physical strength and
In terms of endurance, it is a big test.
At first, Lin Shuhang and Crazy General could still blow big mouthfuls of air into their skin bags. However, as time went on, the amount of air they blew became less and less. In the end, they had to rest for most of the day just to take a breath.
This is mainly because as the gas in the skin sac continues to increase, the pressure in the earthworm's skin sac becomes greater and greater, and a large amount of gas will quickly escape from the skin sac if you are not careful.
"Damn it, I'm so damn tired. My eyes are filled with stars and my lungs are bursting from the suffocation!"
After Lin Shuhang blew another breath into the earthworm skin bag, he couldn't help but complain again and again.
Looking at the crazy general on the side, he was also blushing and having a thick neck because he kept blowing hard.
"Hey, keep blowing!" After complaining, Lin Shuhang once again blew hard into the giant earthworm's skin bag.
As the gas continued to increase, the giant earthworm's skin bag gradually expanded.
Half an hour later, the crazy general was the first to fill his skin.
The air-filled giant earthworm's skin sac is bulging and swollen, and is a whole circle larger than the body of a living earthworm.
"Roar!" The mad general yelled at Lin Shuhang and asked him what to do next.
"Did you blow it up so quickly?" Lin Shuhang turned around and looked around, and found that the crazy general had indeed blown up the giant earthworm skin bag, which surprised him a lot.
"The lung capacity is fine, Crazy General. I just blew half a full blow here, and you have already done it over there, awesome!" Lin Shuhang was very satisfied with Crazy General's work efficiency.
"Roar!" After hearing Lin Shuhang's praise, the Crazy General roared proudly, but because he was so proud, he accidentally let go of his bear claw covering the air inlet of his leather bag.
As soon as he loosened his claws, the gas in the giant earthworm's skin suddenly "hissed" and spurted out from the skin. The mad general was so frightened that he quickly stretched out his claws to cover the air inlet.
But it's still a step too late.
The gas in the giant earthworm's skin bag contained six to seven hundred cubic meters. After the gas leaked, it flew out of the mad general's hand like a rocket with a terrifying "hissing" sound.
The gas-filled earthworm skin bag is like a rocket, spraying high-pressure gas, rushing through the rain forest, flying here and there, suddenly changing directions and flying there, like a ghost, with an unpredictable whereabouts.
This is so stupid that the mad general never thought that such a thing would happen.
Looking at the giant earthworm skin flying around like a balloon, the mad general stood there blinking at a loss. Lin Shuhang yelled at him: "You stupid bear, what are you doing there so stupidly? You didn't see that skin flying away."
Are you there? Hurry up and catch up!"
Only then did the mad general react, roared angrily, and hurriedly chased the earthworm skin bag flying around in the forest.
