Live Wilderness Adventure - Chapter 764 Human Courage and Wisdom

【Live Wild Adventure】【】

After walking around the sea with a simple paddle, after checking the quality, Bi Fang towed the hull back to the shore.

Then I used a planer to cut the edge of the boat, the cabin and some uneven parts of the bottom of the boat. The original black hull immediately turned milky white, and the appearance increased by more than one grade.

Manager Phils looked greedy.

Exchange a tree for a high-value canoe crafted by a legendary adventurer like Bi Fang, this business is really lucrative.

In the future, it will be placed at the entrance of the resort, and it is not forbidden to touch it. After a long time, the hull is covered with pulp, and the value can rise to a new level. Isn't this more advanced than a tree?

There may be more than one.

Looking at Bi Fang, who returned to the shore and started working on another palm tree, Firth graciously handed over a bottle of open mineral water.

"thanks."

Bi Fang was working hard, just a little thirsty, took the water bottle and suffocated, and couldn't find the trash can, Firth had already grabbed the water bottle and helped to dispose of the garbage.

Bi Fang: "..."

If he didn't know Firth's true thoughts, Bi Fang specified that he would feel that the other party was a little suspicious.

The crafting method of the second canoe is exactly the same as the first one, which is to burn first and then plan, but the hull shape is completely different.

At least in the eyes of the audience, the first canoe was raised high at both ends and looked quite huge, but this one was much shorter in height, about half of the first.

[Why does Lao Fang want to make two canoes] [Yeah, should I replace it?] [How to replace this thing, does one fix the other?]

[I know this! Connect the ship's iron chains together to improve the stability of the ship!] [What is burning Chibi?] Bi Fang didn't answer directly, but talked about another thing.

"There are three major islands in the Pacific Ocean, the first is Melanesia, including today's New Guinea, Vanuatu, Fiji, Solomon Islands, etc.; the second is Micronesia, including today's Mariana Islands, Marshall Islands, etc. Islands, Guam, etc.; the last is Polynesia."

"At least 5,000 years ago, ancient humans originating from Huaxia and South China passed through our treasured island, about 3000 BC, then Feibing, about 2000 BC, and then the Indonesian archipelago, all the way to the south. In the end, it was divided into four branches."

"One turned west and occupied Madagascar around 300 AD; one went east through New Guinea and settled in Melanesia; one went north through Melanesia and settled in Micronesia; The last branch continued eastward and occupied almost all the remaining survivable islets in the Pacific Ocean, and developed into Polynesia."

"Among the four branches, the Polynesians made the most extensive journey. They only took a short recuperation in Melanesia, that is, they continued their journey eastward from Fiji, first occupied Tonga and Samoa in West Polynesia, and then discovered the Society Islands and Marquesas Islands."

"When they got here, they divided into two groups. One was based on the Marquesas Islands, and they went north to occupy Hawaii. The other was based on Pitcairn Islands and Henderson Island, and occupied the most remote island in the world. Knot Island, the last branch, went south and occupied New Zealand around 1200 AD, thus bringing to an end the 4,000-year colonial journey of the Polynesians."

"This migration is one of the most powerful migrations in human history. Thousands of years ago, when the navigation technology was still relatively undeveloped, these Nanyang people were able to sail tens of thousands of nautical miles and occupy the largest ocean on earth. All viable islands in the Pacific Ocean."

Many of the islands mentioned by Bi Fang are quite unfamiliar except for Hawaii and Easter Island.

When that doesn't stop the audience from imagining that big migration trip.

A few contemptuous canoes cross the ocean just to find a chance for life.

"Judging from the technical level of the Polynesians, they have never mastered the construction technology similar to the keelboat, and they have not invented the compass, sextant, navigation clock and other navigation tools. Just relying on this simple canoe, they can actually It's unbelievable to conquer the South Pacific."

"Actually, we have far underestimated human's desire for survival, and the courage and wisdom inspired by this desire."

"At this point, if you take out your mobile phones and look at the world map, you will find that the islands within the Polynesian triangle, except for Hawaii and New Zealand, are almost as big as a little bit."

Bi Fang gestured with a little finger, symbolizing the size of those dense islands.

"The area is so small that the resources on it are not enough to support the development of human society. In order to develop, the Polynesians have to turn their attention to the ocean."

"Because the accumulation of civilization is too limited, all the Polynesians can do is a canoe made from a whole log."

"Ordinary canoes, with slow sailing speed and poor stability, must not be able to face the rough seas in the South Pacific. At this time, the Polynesians made a simple and explosive invention, that is - outboard Bracket Technology!"

[So those people in the Pacific Ocean are all Chinese?] [Fuck, the ancestors are awesome!]

[I think Lao Fang is more likely to want you to pay attention to the outrigger he said (dog head)]

It's not the same as the attention that he imagined, but Bi Fang didn't care and explained it instead.

"Strictly speaking, it is true that they are all Chinese, and everyone's ancestors belonged to the same land." Bi Fang smiled, "I remember that in 10 years, there were 6 French Polynesian warriors who came back to visit their relatives. '."

"At that time, the six Polynesian Austronesians rode antique canoes, following the footsteps of their ancestors, from South Tahiti, French Polynesia, in the South Pacific, driving a light boat across the Pacific Ocean, which lasted 4 months and sailed 16,000 nautical miles, All the way across the ocean, until the Fuzhou Mawei Ferry Terminal docks."

[Hi, so awesome?] [A bit strong]

[It turns out that Lao Fang is not the first to do this (Legend value drops)]

[No, crossing Point Nemo and crossing the Pacific Ocean are two different concepts... and Lao Fang has no supplies, right?]

[Indeed, the two cannot be compared.]

"From the archipelago to China, this is enough to prove a great fact that the canoe can completely cross the Pacific Ocean. It was a convenient means of transportation on the sea in ancient times, and our ancestors mastered the skill of navigating it. "

"Canoes back then were able to take humans from land to any island in the Pacific, and now it's no exception, even Point Nemo."

"Well, I'm a little off topic, I was just about to introduce outrigger canoes."

[You continue (laughs)] Bi Fang shaved off a layer of bark and continued.

"Because it is made from a whole tree, the hull of the canoe is generally relatively slender and hollowed out by a single log trunk. Such a hull is not easy to leak or fall apart. However, a single hull will still It is easy to capsize in the waves."

"Smart Polynesian ancestors invented outriggers grafted on the hull body thousands of years ago. The method is to set two wood to spars outside the hull to connect the hull and the side of the ship, where the side of the ship acts as a counterweight and a spar. The role of support."

"These parts are tied together with a very elastic and durable rubber rope. This improved canoe provides the greatest possible stability and resistance to wind and waves without increasing the size of the boat."

"I made two canoes to realize this structure and to develop it further to form a simple platform that can move freely, so our second canoe will have a different shape."

On the ninth day, the second canoe took shape.

Looking at the completely different hull shape from the first one, everyone understood how big the so-called change was.
