Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 80 Aerial Platform
The two of them climbed to a height of 2 meters trembling.

It looks very high visually, but actually it doesn't take much effort to climb to such a high place.

It's not as easy as walking on flat ground, but it's almost like that. The main reason is that their strength can now easily exceed their own weight.

But it's really visually stimulating.

Looking down from this distance, the people below can no longer be seen at all. One can only vaguely see a strange-looking device, which is the steam pump made before.

At this moment, the two felt like they were climbing a cliff. The cliff extended upward with no end in sight, and below was like an abyss, with the bottom of the cliff vaguely visible.

Every time Lu Yuning climbed to a high place, he had an indescribable feeling.

It's like falling from three dimensions to two dimensions. Although the space is infinitely extended, there is always a feeling of being constrained.

Lu Yuning thought about it and thought that it was probably because the sensory impression before shrinking was still in his brain.

For example, when you see a blurry object in the distance, you actually know in your heart that it is a tree.

In my previous understanding, I knew that this tree should be seen clearly. However, now due to visual problems, I still can’t see it clearly, which makes me feel very uncomfortable.

This is why people who are blind later in life feel more pain than those who are blind from birth.

Lu Yuning pulled herself back from her wild thoughts.

Seeing Wu Xiao shivering in front of him, he quickly processed the tree trunk and dug out a foothold.

The two of them got into their accommodation and felt a lot more at ease.

Then Lu Yuning started the familiar excavation work again. He clearly felt that the excavation efficiency was much higher now.

The construction of the platform is more a matter of materials and workload.

First you have to take the materials from the tree trunk, then leave them in the hole, and then use them to craft planks.

Of course, a part of it has to be placed in Wu Xiao's space, so that some space can be freed up.

Fortunately, Lu Yuning’s ability is strong enough now, and he can barely complete making a large wooden board.

The thickness of the board must be sufficient to hold 200 ml of water, at least 0.5 cm.

Of course, Lu Yuning can only choose the specific size according to her height, which should not be close to her knees.

The length and width should be at least 5 cm, about the size of the bottom of a mineral spring.

It’s enough to make it this big for now, and we can expand it later if there is a need.

According to Lu Yuning's idea, some plants will be moved up there in the future to create an aerial farm.

Even if the people on the ground are in dire straits, they can still be self-sufficient.

And Lu Yuning hasn't figured out how to get the things up there.

Of course, this kind of headache can be left to Zhang Xinyue. The greater the ability of a top student, the greater the responsibility.

Lu Yuning had almost finished digging the cave and was ready to officially start building the aerial platform.

However, just as he stretched out his hand to activate his supernatural power, two thin tentacles suddenly emerged from the tree hole.

Before the two could react, a terrifying-looking creature crawled in through the cave entrance.

"Depend on"

"Fuck"

The two of them took off from their original position almost instantly.

Lu Yuning shuddered all over, and then immediately reacted.

The supernatural power was activated, and the plastic on the waist instantly unfolded and turned into a shield to block the creature at the entrance of the cave.

However, because the hole was not deep, Lu Yuning's shield was a bit slow to unfold, and at this time the creature was almost sticking to their faces.

"It's a cockroach!"

Wu Xiao seemed to have met his mortal enemy at this moment, and felt a little weak in his hands and feet.

"No, there's no cockroach on a tree," Lu Yuning mused. The creature was blocked outside and didn't make any destructive moves, only its tentacles trembling constantly.

Seeing that it did not launch an attack, Lu Yuning also calmed down.

He looked at it carefully. Although it looked a bit like a cockroach at first glance, it was obviously very different after careful identification.

Lu Yuning studied it for a long time, and then thought about the environment he was in, and finally recognized the creature that suddenly appeared in front of him.

"It must be a longhorn beetle."

"Beetle?"

"Well, longhorn beetles will move around on tree trunks. This is a camphor tree, so it will attract some longhorn beetles."

Wu Xiao seemed to be relieved. It was a very strange feeling. Although the thing in front of him was somewhat similar to a cockroach, Wu Xiao immediately relaxed when he heard that it was not a cockroach.

Lu Yuning could understand. After all, he also had his natural enemies, and his legs went weak every time he saw a spider.

Lu Yuning also breathed a sigh of relief, then thought about the habits of the longhorn beetle and said, "The longhorn beetle is a herbivorous insect, so it shouldn't be dangerous."

"You scared your grandpa to death!" Wu Xiao shouted at the longicorn outside.

The cow seemed to be frightened by him and crawled away quickly.

The two waited for a while, and seeing that it did not appear again, Lu Yuning withdrew the shield.

Although I don't eat meat, being rubbed by this thing twice will leave a psychological shadow
This little episode served as a reminder to Lu Yuning that there were many insects on the tree. Although there were relatively few carnivorous insects, he still had to take precautions.

I originally wanted to distill the pine resin and make some rosin to have some insect repellent effect.

But later it was used to make valves, so there was nothing we could do about it.

When I help Xu Qi with the bamboo later, I will also go to the pine tree. This thing seems to be very useful, so I can bring back more.

There is another problem. Although 2 meters is not high, birds may still visit it, so perhaps a roof or something like that should be built.

Lu Yuning continued his work. The water tank had not been built yet and it had already taken a lot of time. He could not delay any longer.

There is a skill in building a platform, and it is also a step that determines success or failure.

The principle of their platform construction is to insert wooden boards into the holes dug in the trees.

But obviously you can't make it first and then stuff it in.

Therefore, the wooden board should be extended directly from the hole, and it will be stuck directly into the hole after it is made.

If this step is not done properly, the wooden board will fall down and there will not be enough materials. Then you will have to dig holes to collect materials, which is a waste of time.

He mentally considered the shape and size of the platform.

To be on the safe side, a wooden fence should be made, otherwise the water tank may fall down easily.

After thinking it all through, Lu Yuning concentrated his mind and without hesitation, activated his supernatural power. The wooden material under his feet surged and quickly formed a wooden board.

Then it gradually grew higher, and finally it was firmly stuck above the tree hole, and then extended horizontally to form a large platform. Then three not-so-high fences were erected around the platform, enclosing the entire platform.

"It's done!" Wu Xiao said happily.

Lu Yuning clapped his hands nonchalantly. His supernatural powers were now much stronger.

Still remembering how difficult it was to build the shelter for the first time, Lu Yuning now felt that he could complete such a simple shelter almost instantly.

There is no need to make a skeleton first.

After the platform is completed, it is time to start making the water tank and water pipes.

Laying pipelines is also a relatively difficult task. First, the laying route must be selected.
