Under the suggestions of the audience outside the venue, Lin Shuhang temporarily decided to use bamboo instead of metal to make the barrel of the gun that fired the exploding dates.
As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Before doing something well, preliminary preparations are essential. Otherwise, problems of one kind or another may occur during the work process, which will affect the progress of the work.
In order to ensure the integrity of the barrel material, before officially starting to make the barrel, Lin Shuhang decided to make a set of simple felling tools to cut out complete bamboo.
After living in the prehistoric continent for so long, it was still easy for Lin Shuhang to make simple cutting tools.
Using hard rock, Lin Shuhang spent two hours making a simple stone axe.
Due to the material, the stone ax cannot be compared with the iron ax made of metal. However, in this simple environment, the stone ax is better than nothing, and it is still very helpful for cutting bamboo.
After making the stone axe, Lin Shuhang took Mad General to his own prehistoric arsenal and went out to look for materials to make gun barrels.
Bamboo is a perennial plant belonging to the subfamily Bambusoideae of the family Gramineae, which is evenly distributed throughout the world, especially in tropical and subtropical areas, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Indian Ocean and Pacific Islands.
There are many types of this plant, there are more than 70 genera and 1,200 different types of bamboo in the world, some are as short as grass, and some are as tall as big trees.
As the oldest primitive continent on earth, the bamboo species on the Titan continent are extremely rich. There are more than 800 species of bamboo in the Fuhe rainforest alone. It didn't take much effort for Lin Shuhang and Crazy General to find them nearby.
A bamboo forest.
This bamboo forest is not large, but the bamboos inside are quite big. Each one is as long as a big tree, and the thickest one is astonishingly one meter in diameter. It looks very shocking and magical.
"Holy shit, what kind of seed is this? Why is it so big?" There was a lot of discussion in the live broadcast room. Many people living in other parts of the earth have seen this kind of bamboo for the first time.
"This is Titan Bamboo." Lin Shuhang said: "In the prehistoric continent, this was just an ordinary bamboo. There is a giant black bamboo in the giant forest that is thicker than this. It is black in color and has a diameter of four to five meters. One bamboo
It can be used as a boat for rowing at any time.”
As he spoke, Lin Shuhang began to search for suitable materials for making gun barrels in the bamboo forest.
Considering that the jujube pits of exploding jujubes can be large or small, in order to make the bamboo barrels match the jujube pits, Lin Shuhang selected bamboos of different diameters. There are thick bamboos with a thickness of thirty centimeters, and thick bamboos with a thickness of fifty centimeters.
There are even several giant bamboos with a diameter of more than one meter.
Using homemade stone axes, Lin Shuhang and Crazy General quickly dumped the bamboo needed to make gun barrels.
"Crazy General, you are big, you can carry more bamboo."
As he spoke, Lin Shuhang put a few bamboos on his shoulders and said excitedly: "Let's go! Go back and make guns!"
After dragging the bamboo back to his prehistoric arsenal, Lin Shuhang didn't bother to rest and immediately started making a bamboo gun barrel that could shoot exploding dates.
As we all know, bamboo is a jointed plant, with joints spread throughout the body.
The existence of these bamboo joints is not conducive to firing bullets, and all bamboo joints must be opened.
In order to open up the bamboo joints so that plant bullets can be fired smoothly from the bamboo tube, Lin Shuhang used a relatively stupid method to open up these bamboo joints - stick stabbing.
Of course, the stick was not an ordinary stick. Lin Shuhang tried it and found that ordinary sticks simply could not break through these bamboo joints.
This kind of bamboo joints is so hard that it is as strong as an iron plate. If you want to penetrate these bamboo joints, you must make some small changes to the wooden stick.
In order to make the wooden stick more destructive during use, Lin Shuhang added a sharp stone to the top of the wooden stick and transformed the wooden stick into a powerful stone spear.
Using the weight and edges of the stone spear, Lin Shuhang easily penetrated a layer of bamboo.
After piercing the bamboo knot, an unexpected thing happened - he was surprised to find that there seemed to be something hidden in the bamboo tube!
"Eh? There seems to be something in the bamboo tube?" Lin Shuhang quickly pulled out the stone spear from the bamboo tube, squatted on the ground and looked at the bottom of the bamboo tube carefully.
The openings in the bamboo joints are not very large, so it is difficult to see what is hidden inside.
Lin Shuhang was very curious. In order to find out what was hidden in the bamboo tube, he carefully expanded the openings on the bamboo joints with his hands.
As the opening continued to grow, Lin Shuhang finally saw clearly what was inside - a lot of chubby fleshy worms!
These bugs are very huge and chubby, each weighing half a kilogram!
There were so many of them, they were squirming like maggots in the bamboo tubes, and they looked very disgusting.
"Fuck, what is this!" The sight in front of him shocked Lin Shuhang. He never expected to encounter such a strange thing.
Looking at the insects squirming around in the bamboo tube, Lin Shuhang's face turned pale with fright: "Why are there so many insects?"
In fact, he was not afraid of bugs, at least the bugs appeared so suddenly that he was caught off guard.
"Anchor, don't be afraid, these bugs are good things! You are in luck when you encounter them!" A knowledgeable netizen said: "These are bamboo bugs!"
"Bamboo insect?" Lin Shuhang looked confused: "What bamboo insect?"
A netizen explained: "Bamboo insects are also called bamboo wasps or bamboo maggots. We Guangning people call them "bamboo maggots."
Very high nutritional value! A pound of bamboo maggots here can be sold for 100 yuan!"
At first, Lin Shuhang didn't recognize this kind of bug and thought it was maggots reproduced by flies. However, through the explanations from netizens, Lin Shuhang had a little understanding of these bugs.
It turns out that this bug is not the larvae of a fly, but the larvae of a moth.
Because its appearance is similar to the larvae of maggots and wasps, it is also called bamboo wasp or bamboo maggot. It is a parasitic moth larvae that lives in bamboo tubes since childhood.
The appearance of this insect is similar to that of Cordyceps sinensis. It is white and fat. It usually lives in the bamboo tube and relies on the nutrients of the bamboo. When it grows big and fat, it emerges from the bamboo and transforms into a moth. It is a very magical insect.
.
"Anchor, bamboo shoot worms are a good thing! Not only do these bugs have high nutritional value, but they are also very delicious! I eat several kilograms of these bugs every year." Looking at the white bamboo shoot worms, some foodies have begun to be impatient.
I can't help but feel like my appetite is arousing.
Lin Shuhang frowned: "Isn't it right? Can this thing be eaten?"
“Why can’t we eat it?” a netizen said: “Aside from loss and suffering, is there anything in this world that humans cannot eat?”
"Let me tell you, the taste of bamboo shoot worms is very delicious!"
"Yes, especially the deep-fried bamboo shoots. Once you take one bite, it will fill your mouth with fragrant, chicken-flavored, crunchy texture. It is simply a delicacy in the world."
