"Anchor, I think you can process some glue and use it." Someone gave a suggestion.
"Processing glue?" Lin Shuhang was stunned. This suggestion surprised him, because in his impression, only chemical factories could produce glue. He was in prehistory, and had no technology or equipment. He wanted to process it.
Glue is simply a whimsical thing.
"Don't be ridiculous, old man. How can I process glue? Besides, this is a prehistoric continent. Where can we get those advanced chemical equipment? You said that is simply impossible." Lin Shuhang felt that this suggestion was very useful to him.
Words have no meaning at all.
"What happened in prehistory?" the proposer retorted: "There are abundant resources here. As long as we can find the right materials, it is not difficult to extract glue."
Lin Shuhang said in embarrassment: "But, I don't have the experience or technology in this area."
"Just because you don't have the skills and experience in this area doesn't mean that I don't have the skills and experience in this area. I work in a chemical factory and have been engaged in glue production for more than 30 years. Manufacturing and processing glue is not as difficult as you think."
"Really?" When the proposer said that he was a staff member of a chemical plant, Lin Shuhang seemed to see hope and excitedly said to the live broadcast camera: "Old man, if you can really help me refine glue, that would be great.
Okay, tell me, what should I do to refine the glue?"
"Don't worry. Before refining glue, you must first know what materials are available in nature that can refining glue. Otherwise, no matter how much I tell you, it will be useless."
The staff member of the chemical factory said to Lin Shuhang: "According to the different materials used to produce collagen, glue can be divided into many different types, such as animal glue, plant glue, natural glue, and chemical glue."
"As the name suggests, animal glue is a protein solid made from the skin, bones or tendons of some animals, and the collagen contained in it is partially hydrolyzed, extracted and dried. Common animal glues include fish fat glue and turtle shell glue
, deer glue, donkey glue, horse glue, cow glue, rat glue, propolis, blood glue, bone glue, cheese glue...etc."
"After talking about animal glue, let's talk about gum. Gum is a translucent resinous exudate secreted by trees after they are damaged by external forces or attacked by diseases and insect pests. It is commonly found in peach trees, plum trees, apricot trees, poplar trees and other trees."
"I've seen this kind of gum before!" Lin Shuhang said: "When I was a child, I had cherry trees planted in my house. When I was picking cherries, I would often see big lumps of translucent resin near the insect holes. It was sticky and disgusting."
"Yes, in nature, resin is the easiest natural glue to obtain among all kinds of glue. This kind of natural glue can be collected more or less wherever trees grow."
Lin Shuhang decided to collect plant gum to repair the leaky earthworm skin capsule. He said gratefully to the live broadcast camera: "Thank you for the friendly reminder, I will go collect the gum right now."
"Come on, crazy general, let's go look for gum."
Gum is a transparent protective substance secreted by trees after being injured. It is like the blood scab produced after injuries to humans. It can effectively promote the wound healing of trees.
In nature, almost every kind of tree has such a substance, but compared to other types of trees, fruit trees have more resin.
In the dense virgin rainforest, the most indispensable thing is trees. Compared with collagen from animals, natural glue such as plant resin is easy to obtain.
Under the guidance of the audience outside the venue, in less than half an hour, Lin Shuhang and Crazy General collected enough fresh resin in the dense forest, which added up to almost five hundred kilograms.
If it weren't for time, Lin Shuhang and Crazy General could have collected more plant resin, because this natural plant resin is so easy to get here. Three to five kilograms or more can be obtained from almost every tree.
Several dozen kilograms of fresh resin.
There is a saying that the quantity is not too much, just enough. Looking at the hundreds of kilograms of plant resin collected, Lin Shuhang asked curiously: "Where is that old man just now? The gum has been found, but some of the gum has hardened to the point of
As strong as stone, how do I handle and process these resins?"
"These gums are semi-finished products and cannot be used directly. You need to boil them before use."
"Boil it?" Lin Shuhang frowned. At first, Lin Shuhang thought that these resins could be used directly.
"Yes, these resins must undergo secondary processing, otherwise it will be difficult for you to apply the resin to the pores of the earthworm skin." The chemical engineer guided: "Remember, when boiling the gum, adding some water to dilute it will have a better effect.
Better."
Lin Shuhang couldn't help but complain: "How can I boil glue without a pot?"
The proposer asked: "Is it difficult for you to make some simple utensils? You have lived in prehistory for a long time. You can't make some simple utensils, so what else do you have?"
Are you qualified to survive here?”
Youdao means that words are rough but not rough. Although the words the other party said may not sound very nice, they are also an indisputable fact.
"That's right." Lin Shuhang nodded. After living in prehistory for so long, making some simple utensils was really not a difficult task for him. Don't forget that a few months ago he made clay pots by himself.
I have made pottery and have a lot of experience in this area.
"Crazy General, we need to bake some pottery to boil glue. Use clay to make a cauldron to boil some gum."
The crazy general tilted his head and looked at Lin Shuhang in confusion, as if he didn't understand what he meant.
In order to make the crazy general understand what he meant, Lin Shuhang deliberately slowed down his speaking speed and gestured with his only arm: "We are going to use soil to make a larger container to boil glue, gum, soil, soil.
Pot, OK?”
"Roar!" The mad general nodded his huge bear head and finally understood what Lin Shuhang meant.
"But now that I only have one arm, it's very inconvenient for me to do things. You need to do some things on my behalf."
"Roar!" In response, the mad general roared again.
The next step is to make a container for boiling glue. Of course, the first material used to make the container is soil.
Under the command of Lin Shuhang, the crazy general dug up mud from the ground with his huge bear claws.
Since there have been heavy rains here for two consecutive days, the soil 10 meters below the ground is wet, so there is no need to add water to mix the mud.
Facts have proven that being big is beneficial when it comes to mixing mud. The Crazy General weighs more than 40 tons and lifts mud like a road roller. It can exert several tons of pressure on the mud with one palm, and it is surprisingly efficient.
.
As a prehistoric giant bear, although he had never played with mud before, under Lin Shuhang's patient guidance and strength, Crazy General was able to quickly make the mud needed to make a glue container.
There were a total of 1,200 kilograms of mixed mud, piled on the ground like a big pile of brown feces.
