Survive in the Wilderness with Celebrities

Chapter 297: A Stone Axe Is Not Enough (Subscription Request)
"If you want to make a stone axe, the best way is to use flint."

"Our ancestors used this stone to make various stone tools, thus entering the Stone Age."

"Flint, also known as flint, is a relatively common siliceous rock. Flint is dense, hard, mostly gray or black, and has a shell-like fracture when broken."

"Its hardness is 7, which is a relatively hard stone, so it is suitable for making various tools."

[No way, he really intends to teach me? ]

[This thing in Brother Chao's hand doesn't look like a flint. 】

[Brother Chao really thinks we can use this knowledge. ]

[This is what a wilderness survival show should be like. The previous ones were really boring.]

After Meng Chao finished the processing, he began to polish the stone in his hand.

"Polishing definitely requires water. There is no way to polish without water."

"That's why I'm going to fetch a bucket of river water. It's not for drinking, but for sharpening the stone axe and the piece of steel." Meng Chao explained to the audience.

After finishing speaking, Meng Chao began to teach the audience how to polish and how to exert force.

Polishing tools is a very patience-consuming and time-consuming task. Sometimes it takes several days of polishing to achieve the desired effect.

Of course, it is also very laborious.

Fortunately, Meng Chao has all of these things, and he has nothing else to do anyway.

After polishing for an hour, the stone piece in Meng Chao's hand was polished to a very sharp edge.

Of course, it can't be compared with a metal-forged axe, but compared with the stone axes used by primitive people, it is one of the sharper ones.

"Look, I've already polished it, and the axe blade is quite sharp." Meng Chao said as he demonstrated it.

The camera zoomed in very closely with the ball-shooting, giving a 360-degree display.

It only takes one hour to polish it into this state, all thanks to Meng Chao's mastery of the polishing technique.

"The next step is to use ropes and wood to secure the stone flakes and make a stone axe."

"I already have the rope, so there's no need to make it now."

As he spoke, Meng Chao took out his rope.

These ropes were made from tree bark and can be used to tie stone slabs with ease.

“The stick needs to be split with a stone so that the stone can be clamped inside.”

"If the end of the stone axe is flat and pointed, the stick can be burned through with charcoal fire, and then the stone flake can be inserted into it, which will make it more secure."

"The stone in my hand is relatively wide, so I can only split it and put it in."

As he spoke, Meng Chao pointed the stone at the center of the wooden stick and pressed down hard.

"In this way, the stone flakes are pressed back and forth, and forced in with the help of the sharp edge."

"Don't throw stones at it. If you break the stone, all your efforts will be wasted."

When it was deep enough, Meng Chao took a stone and slowly smashed it, splitting the wooden stick bit by bit.

When the crack was big enough, Meng Chao slowly took out the stone.

"Now, wrap the rope around the bottom to prevent the stick from being torn too much when you clamp the rock flakes."

"You can wrap it a few more times, so that the stick will be less likely to crack." As he said this, Meng Chao wrapped it a few more times.

The next step is to clamp the stone piece between the wooden sticks.

After clamping it, Meng Chao began to tie the wooden stick with a rope.

"When tying the rope, you must use this cross method, so that it can be tied more securely." Meng Chao said as he tied.

"Okay, it's tied up, and a stone axe is ready."

"With the stone axe, I can cut vines and sticks."

As he spoke, Meng Chao waved the stone axe in his hand, looking quite satisfied.

For Meng Chao, water is not the most important issue to be solved. What he needs to solve is weapons.

While it was still light, Meng Chao wanted to cut some sticks of suitable thickness to make javelins. Javelins can be used for long-range attacks, while stone axes can only be used for close combat.

In the jungle, avoid close combat if possible.

Meng Chao no longer cared about whether it was a sneak attack or not, he kept chatting with the audience.

There are very few animals that would attack you in broad daylight.

They really do that, and it's hard to notice them approaching unless you say anything.

Before taking action, Meng Chao added some firewood to the fire.

It is not easy to light a bonfire, and Meng Chao doesn't want it to be extinguished when he comes back.

After wandering around, Meng Chao cut down three wooden sticks suitable for making javelins.

The stone axe was only moderately effective, and it took several minutes to chop a stick.

With a machete, Meng Chao could easily cut it off with one stroke.

He was really dissatisfied with the stone axe in his hand, but he had no better choice.

The program crew just didn't want him to feel happy, otherwise they could have just said that the quality of the previous knife was problematic and then sent him a replacement.

Now, I just want to see him surviving in the Amazon jungle with a stone axe.

After dragging the three small trees back to the camp, Meng Chao went to the nearby area to pick up some more wood.

Now the jungle is full of wood washed up by the flood, but it's all wet from being soaked in water.

Meng Chao didn't care. After picking them up, he stuck them in a circle around the campfire.

The soil is very soft now, so it's easy to stick it in.

They can be dried using the heat from the campfire.

After being dried, they can be burned, and then placed in a circle around other things that need to be dried. By repeating this process over and over again, a lot of dry firewood can be obtained.

After doing all this, Meng Chao took out the red-hot iron sheet from the fire.

After taking it out with a wooden stick, put it on a stone and then smash it with another stone.

He needs to pound the edges thinner so they can be sharpened more easily.

Unfortunately, the effect was limited because the stones were not strong enough and also because Meng Chao was unable to use his full strength.

After its temperature dropped, Meng Chao ignored it.

He simply cut a piece of vine and held it high.

Soon, water began to flow out of the vines.

Meng Chao drank his fill, then cut off another piece and started to collect water in a kettle.

Two pieces of vines can hold a full pot of water. Meng Chao held more than three pots of water, so he no longer needs to worry about drawing water for tomorrow.

He got out some bacon, gnawed a little, and then set to work sharpening the spear.

It was very difficult to carve with a stone axe, but Meng Chao was very patient and carved slowly.

Finally, at nine o'clock in the evening, Meng Chao sharpened the first javelin.

After carbonizing it to increase its hardness, Meng Chao started to carve the second one.

Meng Chao stopped when he got tired of cutting.

He took out the mosquito nets and backpack and prepared to make a hammock for sleeping.

It took Meng Chao half an hour to make his backpack hammock.

After being tied to two trees, Meng Chao lay on them.

With four backpacks as the main body, it is quite comfortable to lie down.

This hammock can be used as a mattress even when placed on the ground. It is very practical and comfortable to lie on.
