Chapter 244 The Magical Use of Turtle Shells, Is There Time?
Su Bai took a deep breath, forced his mind back from the barrage, grabbed the stone ax, and said in a deep voice:
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Let's start reinforcing the roof immediately."
"Our roof structure is too weak. Just a giant anaconda skin and a bamboo frame are simply not enough in the face of such a hail disaster."
"There must be enough support."
Among the Qinggang wood branches I brought back last time, there were also many thin, straight pieces of wood.
At this time, it didn’t matter whether the green wood and the bamboo roof matched or not, as long as the length was suitable, they were taken directly and reinforced on the roof.
Su Bai even reluctantly took out the fishing line and used it to tie the bamboo and green wood on the roof.
The roof tied with straw ropes is adequate for normal wind and rain.
But facing hailstones as big as a fist...
Too vulnerable.
After thinking about it, only fishing line can provide sufficient structural strength.
After an hour of intense work, the large pores of the previous bamboo frame had been filled with Qinggang wood on the bamboo shed roof covered with giant anaconda skin.
In order to reinforce the roof this time, in addition to the previously recycled fishing line, Su Bai also spent nearly fifty meters of fishing line, which can be described as a huge hemorrhage.
Although after this time, these fishing lines can be disassembled and reused to make traps such as rope nooses, Su Bai still felt that his heart was bleeding!
His fishing line is definitely a non-renewable resource, the more you use it, the less it will be.
Even if the cut fishing line can be recycled, its durability and versatility will plummet.
Zhao Xinqing had a nervous look on her face. She looked up at the roof, which looked much thicker after the two had been reinforced. She still felt a little guilty and asked in a low voice:
"Is this... okay?"
Su Bai nodded, his face full of determination, and said:
"Our bamboo shed mainly relies on these four main beams buried in the ground."
“The whole thing is pretty solid.”
"In addition, it is backed by a four-meter rock wall and is in the leeward position. It is basically certain that the roof will not be blown off by the wind."
"As for whether hail can break through our reinforced roof, it's hard to say."
"After all, we don't know how big the hail is brewing in the sky now."
"Although bamboo and green wood are tough, there is always the possibility of being broken or penetrated by hail that is too large."
Barrage:
【……】
[What if, I mean what if, if hail really breaks through your roof?]
[Could it be that... I have to leave it to God’s will? 】
Su Bai chuckled and shook his head:
"No, in addition to the roof, we have the last line of defense."
Hearing Su Bai's words, Zhao Xinqing and Danmu were both stunned.
Is there another line of defense?
The barrage asked:
【What is it?】
[Nonsense! Where is the last line of defense? Why didn’t I see it? 】
[Ah, I know! The last line of defense must be Su Bai lying on Dr. Zhao to block the hailstones as big as watermelons falling from the air for her!]
[Su Bai’s broad arms supported Dr. Zhao’s last inch of warm pure land in this icy wilderness!]
【So touching! I cried!】
Seeing the random barrages filling the screen, Su Bai almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
If God steps on a horse and hails as big as a watermelon, will he still let people recover?
Zhao Xinqing bit her red lips lightly, her face turned red, and she reached out to close the tablet.
Although she was shy, the approaching crisis made her focus more on business and asked:
"Where is this last line of defense?"
Su Bai chuckled, stretched out his hand to remove the snapping turtle shell from the fire, and flipped it upside down on the ground.
Patting the solid and thick snapping turtle shell, Su Bai said:
"When it starts to hail, we get in."
This short sentence left Zhao Xinqing and Danmu stunned.
[Drill...drill into the turtle shell???]
[I was so stupid that I couldn’t say a word for a long time...]
[Ingenious operation, the wilderness survival program team found a treasure...]
This turtle shell is really strong. Even though it has been used as a pot for several days, it is still not destroyed by hail.
When turned upside down, the space underneath is just enough to accommodate two adults.
Su Bai sighed in a low voice:
"Even if the roof is smashed, we can hide under this turtle shell and survive."
"It's just that I'm a small foodie and I can't hide down there with us."
"But she's a cow, so she won't be killed by hail so easily."
Full of novelty, Zhao Xinqing tentatively got into the turtle shell.
She looked around at this small but safe space, and her uneasy heart gradually calmed down.
With this turtle shell, it is indeed impossible for the two of them to be killed by the hail.
When the Shenzhou Kingdom Barrage saw the actual scene of Zhao Xinqing lying in the turtle shell, they found that it was indeed as Su Bai said, and it could form enough shelter. Their eyes couldn't help but shine, and they all praised:
[This turtle shell shield is so awesome!]
【Su Bai, you are really a good planner!】
[The ability to use this limited resource is too strong!]
[Snapping Turtle: It’s so hard for me!]
[Snapping Turtle: My bones are still cold, I am both a pot and a shield, and I have paid too much for this family...]
[emmmmmmm... There's nothing wrong with the corpse not being cold. Su Bai has been using it as a stew all day long, so the corpse is indeed very warm.]
Bangziguo’s barrage said with great disdain:
【Bah! It’s useless!】
[I suggest you go to Li Jixian’s live broadcast room to learn high-end operations.]
[Su Bai is so weak. 】
China State Barrage:
【???】
[Ah, yes, yes! High-end operation, it is so high-end!]
[I just went in and took a look, no, lying next to the fire and sleeping, is there anything I can do???]
[Su Bai’s ability to turn the tables against the wind is a serious high-end operation, right???]
Su Bai glanced at the barrage, sneered, and refused to argue with the barrage on both sides.
The period before the hailstorm is too critical and must not be wasted!
He opened the door and looked outside the bamboo shed.
The hail hasn't fallen yet, but the wind is getting more chaotic.
Because of the opposition of updrafts, the wind direction is no longer consistent, sometimes easterly, sometimes westerly, sometimes southerly and northerly.
"Come in quickly." Zhao Xinqing's voice sounded muffled from the turtle shell.
Su Bai shook his head and did not go in.
His face was full of concentration, and he asked another difficult question in a low voice:
“What should I do with the things in the fields?”
As soon as these words came out, both Danmu and Zhao Xinqing were stunned.
Yes, what to do with the things in the fields?
When a big hailstorm fell, Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing had several layers of protection. It might be difficult, but they probably wouldn't die.
But the sweet potato seedlings and rice seedlings in the field...
Crops in their infancy cannot withstand such damage!
Being reminded by Su Bai, Zhao Xinqing took a breath of air, got out of the turtle shell, and asked with a serious face:
