Chapter 1411 another world (126)(1/2)

The two landing crafts have been placed by the sea, so they can't drag two boats into the jungle, but the river is still more than 20 meters wide and the river water is still turbid. I don't know what dangers are hidden under the river, so it is not realistic to swim over, and there may be landslides in the team.

"Captain, do we cut down a few big trees to make a boat?" Wu Zhen pointed to a row of big trees in the jungle. "But we didn't bring axes and used engineer shovels to cut them. I don't know what year or month it will be."

The jungle of New Bloss is full of thick trees, and there are no trees with smaller diameters like bamboo. Such large trees may be cut down for a day by one person. When the boat is ready, I am afraid that everyone will feed the dogs.

"It's not realistic to do a boat. One is that we don't have tools, and the other is that the speed is too slow," Booktonlin pointed to the turbid river water. "Even if the boat is done, can you ensure that the boat will not be attacked after getting off the water?"

Booktonlin's concern is completely necessary. Even if there is a ship, the animals in the water feel that the ship is coming, will they let the ship pass freely and indifferently? Especially when they know that there is food on the ship, will they give their all their might to overturn the ship? Just like the prehistoric monsters in the waters of the Bloss Disc, even if you are a warship, it will find a way to sink the ship.

The three of them suddenly fell into deep thought. The method of building a boat seemed unreliable. Pang Xiaonan thought that if he was alone, it would be no problem to force the river to cross the river. However, there are more than a dozen people here at present, so it is not too easy to ensure that everyone crosses the river safely.

Booktonlin looked at Pang Xiaonan with hope, hoping that he could come up with a good idea. After all, in the waters of the Bros disc, Pang Xiaonan stood up and saved the scientific expedition team from danger.

Pang Xiaonan was stunning when he looked at the scene on the other side. Suddenly, he turned his head and said to Booktonlin: "Captain, either we cut down a big tree, then build a bridge on both sides of the river, so that everyone can cross the river by stepping on the trunks. Do you think it's okay?"

Booktonlin's eyes lit up, yes, it's the easiest and simple way to open a road when encountering mountains and build a bridge when encountering water.

"Good way!" Booktonlin snapped his fingers, "As long as you can build a bridge, the river will not be so dangerous."

"But captain, the river is more than 20 meters wide. We have to cut at least a 30-meter-long tree. How can we carry it to the shore?" Wu Zhen expressed his concerns. Even if the big tree is cut down, it will be a problem to transport it to the river.

"So what about a 30-meter tree?" Booktonlin said disapprovingly, "We have more than a dozen people here, and we have no strength. Even if the scientific expedition team doesn't take action, we have 10 people in the Black Mamba. Will 10 people carry a 30-meter tree trunk? Will we not be able to carry it?"

Pang Xiaonan frowned. Obviously, Booktonlin's mathematical knowledge is not very good. Even if a person carries 200 kilograms, that is, 100 kilograms, 10 people can only resist 1,000 kilograms, which is a heavy object of one trunk. A 30-meter-long tree trunk, more than just one trunk?

"Captain, I don't think it's realistic," Pang Xiaonan pointed to the upper reaches of the river. "Wu Zhen is right. The river here is still too wide. I think we should walk upwards. Maybe the river channel upstream will narrow. At that time, we only need 10 meters or more than 10 meters of tree trunks. That's more realistic. We can bring the trunks to the shore. Besides, if the trunk is thinner, we can cut down a little more easily."

Booktonlin frowned and looked at the turbid river surface. After thinking for a long time, he finally confirmed Pang Xiaonan's thoughts, "Oh, there is really nothing I can do. We can only follow what you said, let's go up and see the situation."

After saying that, Booktonlin shouted to everyone: "Everyone has enough rest, we will continue to rush."

The scientific expedition team members stood up from the ground in groups of three or three, patted the dust and grass on their butts, and followed the Black Mamba Guard to continue on the road.

Pang Xiaonan returned to Professor Li Sanming and continued to walk with him.

Professor Li Sanming asked Pang Xiaonan: "What are you discussing just now?"

Pang Xiaonan did not hide it and said, "We are considering whether to continue walking along the river bank or cross the river."

"Then the result of your discussion is to continue walking along the river bank?" Professor Li Sanming actually kept thinking about crossing the river, but he didn't know how to pass, after all, he couldn't water.

"We are planning to go to a narrower place in the upper reaches of the river and a clearer place, and then find a way to cross the river." Pang Xiaonan felt that there would be no problem with this decision.

"When will it take to go?" Professor Li Sanming felt that since he had decided to cross the river, the sooner the better. He walked along the river aimlessly. Buenosky just said that they had walked for so long that they were standing still, so what's the difference between walking and not leaving?

"Don't worry, professor, we are thinking about everyone's safety." Pang Xiaonan held Li Sanming, and just now his feet slipped and staggered to the side.

"Hey, in this primeval forest, there is no safety at all." Li Sanming sighed, "I want to arrive at the hinterland of New Bloss earlier, even if we are buried here, at least we have figured out the secrets here, rather than wasting time by the river."

"Sharpening a knife will not delay the chopping of wood, and good things will be sharpened." Pang Xiaonan smiled and instructed Professor Li Sanming, "Professor, wait first. We will definitely find a way to cross the river, but we must ensure everyone's safety."

Sure enough, after walking for about 20 minutes, the river channel suddenly became narrower, and the trees on the shore became closer to the river. Booktonlin was overjoyed. When the river was only about 10 meters wide, he shouted to everyone again: "Stop, rest on the spot, Pang Xiaonan comes over."

Pang Xiaonan also discovered the change in the width of the river surface. What makes people even happier is that the big trees on the shore are also very close to the river bank, and they can almost fall on the other side of the river as soon as they are cut down.

"Pang Xiaonan, look," Booktonlin pointed to a towering tree. "I didn't expect you to be right. I've just walked a little short of the distance. The river surface has shrunk by half. There is also this big tree, as if it is growing on the shore and there is much less grass."

"Captain, don't be too happy too early," Pang Xiaonan smiled and said, "Although this environment seems to be convenient to cross the river, maybe the danger index in the river is higher than before?"

Booktonlin punched Pang Xiaonan hard on the arm, "Can you speak, can you speak?" After saying that, Booktonlin stretched out his head and looked at the water that was almost flooded to the shore. "Look at this river, it is much more beautiful than before, and the aquatic plants in this river are clearly visible."

The river water is indeed clearer, no longer as yellow and turbid, but a little grayish-white. The aquatic plants in the water can indeed see a part of it clearly. But after half a meter, the situation in the river is still quite confusing.

Because the distance between the trees is close, the areas on both sides of the river are much more gloomy. The sunlight can only fall on the ground through the gaps between the leaves, with only spots of light.

"Captain, since the conditions are right, let's start working!" Pang Xiaonan suggested sincerely, without further ado, everyone is looking forward to crossing the river.

"Yes, organize people immediately and choose a big tree to cut it down." Booktonlin put his hands on his hips and thought for a while, "It's useless if there are too many people. It's enough to cut down two people, and it's useless if there are too many people, but it's helping you."

Booktonlin looked up at his team members, thought for a while and turned to Pang Xiaonan, "You go and call Wu Zhen and Davao Khan to come over. They both have good physical strength and are proficient in using engineer shovels."

"Captain, I can do it too." Pang Xiaonan recommended himself, thinking that he would not waste it.

"You, go and protect the scientific expedition team." Booktonlin waved his hand, "Good steel is used on the blade. Your primary goal is not to cut down trees, but to protect everyone's safety. I will arrange these heavy work."

"Okay." Booktonlin said, and Pang Xiaonan was speechless. This may be the true meaning of how to kill a chicken.

Pang Xiaonan called Wu Zhen and Davao Khan and returned to Professor Li Sanming.

"What, are you going to cross the river?" Professor Li Sanming was very sensitive. As soon as he saw the narrowing of the river, he knew that the Black Mamba Guard would find a way to cross the river.

"Yes, I'm ready to cross the river." Pang Xiaonan sat down next to Professor Li Sanming. The land here is not as full of green grass as before. The riverside here is relatively flat, and there are some grasses, which are also plants similar to turf.

"How do you plan to cross the river?" Professor Li Sanming looked at Pang Xiaonan with concern in his eyes.

"Look," Pang Xiaonan pointed to a big tree in the distance. Wu Zhen and Davao Khan had already walked under the big tree. "Our anchor cut down the big tree and then put it on the surface of the river, and people walked across the river from the trunk."

"Good idea!" Professor Li Sanming gave Pang Xiaonan a thumbs up, "Who came up with such a good idea?"

"The crystallization of collective wisdom!" Pang Xiaonan dared not take credit for himself.

"It's not easy to cut down such a big tree, right?" Professor Li Sanming didn't see the Black Mamba Guard carrying an axe on his body, and felt that such a large project was really difficult.

"The tools are a bit bad, but with the extraordinary physical strength of our Black Mamba Guard, it shouldn't take much time." Pang Xiaonan did not forget to boast about his team, "Even if those two people are tired, we have several other team members here, and everyone takes turns to go up, and a big tree is no problem."

While speaking, Wu Zhen and Davao Khan had already begun to wave the engineer shovel and attack the big tree.

"You must grasp the angle and don't let the big tree fall down!" Booktonlin supervised the worker on the side to ensure that the big tree falls in the predetermined direction, otherwise, even if it is cut down, all previous efforts will be wasted.

"Don't worry, captain, it's not the first time we cut trees!" Wu Zhen was full of confidence. They had cut down such big trees as wood before doing tasks in the jungle. It was a long task. They needed to live in the jungle for several months and had to cut down some trees to build houses.

Soon, in less than half an hour, a big tree as thick as a washbasin was cut down by the Black Mamba Guard. Of course, several waves of people were replaced in the middle. The big tree slowly fell down on both sides of the river, connecting the river to the other side.

Professor Li Sanming watched the big tree fall down and sighed: "You black Mamba's labor force is enough. If I were asked to cut it down, I wouldn't be able to cut it down for a day."

Pang Xiaonan laughed, "Professor, you are still exaggerating. If you really want to cut it down, you can't cut it down for half a month. Don't underestimate this tree, its density is not comparable to bamboo."

Pang Xiaonan played a guest role as a tree-cutting expert. The trees in New Bloss are very dense, which means that everyone put in much more labor than usual logging.

If these intellectuals who are powerless to cut down trees, a engineer will only hurt the skin if they shovel down.

When the scientific expedition team saw this situation, they instantly understood that they were going to cross the river. Xiaotian Lima walked to Pang Xiaonan and said, "Pang Xiaonan, do you cut down this tree? Do you want us to cross the river by stepping on this tree?"

Pang Xiaonan raised the corner of his mouth and said, "A professor is a professor. We don't need to teach you, we know that we are going to cross the river."

Lima Oda and Pang Xiaonan were not polite at all. Since entering the Bloss disc, they have long lost the reserve of intellectuals. They shouted: "Nonsense, it's just a river, we are going to cross the new Bloss."

Lima Oda had already inferred from the tone of the first mate Buenosky, and then walked along the river and could never go deep into the hinterland of New Bloss.

Professor Li Sanming sighed: "If this tree could be flattered, it would be safer for us to cross the river."

Pang Xiaonan smiled awkwardly and instructed Li Sanming: "Professor, it's good to have something to cross the river. You can't be too demanding, and the trunk of this tree is thick enough and will not slip."

A big tree as thick as a washbasin, when people walk on it, it is like walking on flat ground, so there is basically no need to worry.

When Booktonlin saw the big tree lying on the other side of the river, he felt as if he had drunk honey. He was very happy. Finally, he didn't have to walk up the river stupidly anymore.

This big tree happened to be built on both sides of the river, not very long, mainly not short, and everyone could just walk over and reach the grass on the other side.

Booktonlin waved and asked Pang Xiaonan to go over. Pang Xiaonan ran to Booktonlin in two steps in three steps, "Pang Xiaonan, you should go there first, and demonstrate to the scientific expedition team."

"Okay, captain." Pang Xiaonan jumped and reached this end of the trunk. Then he quickly crossed the river without stopping, and in a blink of an eye, he reached the other side of the river.

Pang Xiaonan waved his hand and shouted to this side: "Comrades, come here!"

Seeing Pang Xiaonan crossing the river easily, the members of the scientific expedition team were in high spirits. Everyone thought it was difficult to cross the river, but judging from Pang Xiaonan's brisk pace, it was too simple to just run two steps and you could reach the other side of the river immediately.

The power of role models is infinite. Wu Zhen also followed two steps across the river. Booktonlin shouted here: "Damn, without my orders, why are you running..."

But before he finished speaking, Wu Zhen stood side by side with Pang Xiaonan.

It was over, and Booktonlin was not easy to pursue it anymore. He couldn't ask Wu Zhen to run back. He walked to the front of the scientific expedition team and said with a smile: "Dear scientists, we have been walking along the river bank for so long, and finally found a suitable place to cross the river. Now the bridge has been set up, and you can cross the river one by one by one, so I won't arrange the order for you. Whoever you want to go first, okay?"

Booktonlin pretended to attract everyone to cross the river, but in fact, the river was just disobeying the order, and the life and death afterward had nothing to do with the Black Mamba Guard.

The trunk of the big tree is about one meter away from the river surface, but it is not next to the river surface after all, and it looks very safe.

The reason why no one dared to cross the river before was because he couldn't see the form in the river clearly. If there were big snakes, crocodiles, or piranhas in the river, then swimming over would take a big risk.

Now the big tree is laid on the water surface. No matter how far it is from the river surface, as long as it is a certain distance, everyone's sense of security will be greatly improved. As long as they do not come into contact with the river, there is no shortage of the spirit of being the first.

Lima Oda was the first to jump out, "I'll go first."

Lima Oda carried a heavy backpack and jumped onto this end of the tree trunk first, grabbed the strap with both hands, took a deep breath, then exerted force with her feet, ran towards the opposite shore, and finally jumped smoothly to the land opposite.

As soon as he jumped to the land on the other side, Lima Xiaotian threw away her backpack desperately, jumped onto Pang Xiaonan's waist, held Pang Xiaonan's neck with both hands, and clamped Pang Xiaonan's waist with both feet, shouted excitedly: "I'm here. I'm here..."

Everyone saw that Oda Lima successfully crossed the river, and other members of the scientific expedition team were eager to try. Bridge Morgan's assistant asked Bridge Morgan, "Boss, should we go first?"

Bridgemorgan waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute."

As the heir to the world's largest mysterious consortium, Bridge Morgan is a bit cunning when looking at things. Temporary safety does not mean there is no danger. Only by confirming that everything is foolproof can he dare to take this risk. This is not a commercial society. Bridge Morgan is familiar with business, but this is an unknown environment. The best respect for nature is to maintain a sense of awe.

Although Lima Oda was the first to rush over, no one on the scientific expedition team dared to step over the line. Professor Niuphras looked left and then looked again. He found that everyone was not moving. He could no longer bear it and jumped onto the trunk.

"I can't leave, I'll leave first, goodbye, comrades!" Although Professor Niuphras was a little older, his foot strength was really good. He was walking as fast as Oda Lima and rushed across the river at the same speed as Oda Lima.

Although the big tree is very thick, it is not as good as a flat road. When walking on it, it is still possible to slip because the trunk is a cylinder. In fact, the bark is very rough and slipping is very unexpected, but all the scientific expedition team members are still very cautious.

Lima Oda waved her hand anxiously across the river and shouted: "Teacher, come here!"

But Totecchasky was indifferent. In his experience, the river was not so easy to pass through. It is very likely that the moment he crossed the river, danger would happen.

Booktonlin saw that only two people had passed by the scientific expedition team, and the others were watching and thought it was time to show their safety again, so he shouted to the members of the Black Mamba Guard: "Sniper Team, cross the river! Everyone, be careful to keep a warning to the river surface, shoot immediately if there is any danger, and don't wait for my order!"
