Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 196, Part 4

The horizontal task objectives are relatively simple.

Miracles happen with great effort; as long as she can ensure sufficient supply in terms of quantity, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

However, there are other things that need to be done. In addition to using the transparent stones brought by the children of Fish Cave and taken from the cracks in the cliffs of the Great River to make transparent lenses, Heng also needs to grind other different kinds of transparent stones into lenses, and then select the kind of transparent lens that will produce the best effect and the most durable quality.

As for where to find these different kinds of transparent stones, that's Jiang Luoluo's task.

Next was Yuan's mission, which was relatively dangerous because she would be going to participate in the next few days of hunting with Shou, and during the hunt, she would try to create a telescope with a more suitable shape and size for carrying during the hunt.

Even the selection of materials for the telescope's casing was part of the original mission.

Actually, this task is more like what the carpenter Cong should do, but it must be said that as a carpenter, Cong has some experience in activities on the edge of the Taz Forest and is quite familiar with the types of trees in the outer area of ​​the Taz Forest.

They knew nothing about the trees deep within the Taz Forest.

Therefore, if a more robust telescope casing is desired, it would require hunting team members who can venture deep into the Taz Forest to achieve this.

Yuan happens to have this advantage: although she doesn't know as much about wood as carpenter Cong, she can judge which materials are more suitable for making the casing of a telescope.

Furthermore, because Yuan personally participated in the hunting, she was more aware of the difficulty in obtaining those wood materials and was able to make more precise selections, avoiding situations where a certain type of tree was very suitable but required a large number of people to obtain.

With this arrangement, Qing and Heng's tasks will be a bit heavier these next few days. They need to make a batch of telescopes and give them to Yuan and some of the hunting team members in order to obtain enough data.

Once these first batch of telescopes were produced, deciding who to give them to and how to distribute them presented another set of problems.

Fortunately, this kind of thing can be arranged by Chief Jing, so it doesn't require many people to worry about it.

After hearing this, the leader Jing, who had been summoned by the guard, thought for a moment and first asked Qing and Heng how many telescopes they could make before the hunt began.

If they put all their effort into it, one person could actually grind a lot of transparent lenses, but the resulting telescope casing...

The carpenter, Cong, who had been pulled over, did the calculations with a pained expression.

"At most thirty."

Besides the speed of carpentry and sanding, the most important thing is actually the right wood.

"I only have enough wood left to make thirty sets of telescopes," the carpenter said, shrugging.

Moreover, this was some wood that he had processed again after leaving Qing's place, working overtime to finish it.

Many people think that once trees are cut down, they can be directly made into various wooden utensils. However, those utensils can only be used temporarily for a period of time. To extend the shelf life of wooden products, the wood needs to be treated in advance to make it into qualified wood that can be used to make various things.

Moreover, some woods contain too much moisture or other liquids, and even if the material is of good quality, they are unusable without treatment.

Understanding that this wasn't something that could be increased in a day or two, Chief Jing nodded, "That's fine then."

Then he glanced at the carpenter and instructed, "You'll have to work hard during this time. I'll ask the tribespeople who stayed behind to come and help you. If you need any wood, have them bring back as much as they can."

Although the source will search for more suitable timber deep in the Taz Forest, the matter itself is not certain; it may find it, or it may not.

Therefore, rather than the uncertain outcome, it is better to prepare everything that is already certain, and then change it when a better option becomes available.

We can't just sit around doing nothing while waiting for something "better."

"I understand, Chief..." Carpenter Cong closed his eyes tightly.

He has no shortage of food and ability to find a partner, but he has absolutely no time to do so!
