Falling into the Cretaceous

Shen Ye didn't stop him. In any case, it was difficult for everyone to sleep in the current situation, and it was impossible to get a good night's sleep every day like before. They had to adapt slowly.

Everyone is busy.

The photographer also found his suitcase.

He took out a shoulder-mounted video camera and, as if filming a news scene, had the reporter stand in front of him to give an explanation and began recording.

Shen Ye did not stop them from doing so.

If I ever return to the modern era, this experience will have irrefutable evidence and a video record.

The reporter was very professional; after interviewing some key figures, he went to film the dinosaur and savage carcasses.

Shen Ye leaned against the cabin and tied the two ends of the bow arm with a thick rope, pulling it taut to achieve a certain curvature. Then he tied the two ends with fishing line, so that the fishing line would not be stressed when weaving the string.

A real bowstring is very thick, and fishing line is not thick enough, so it is necessary to repeatedly pull and twist the line to make it thick enough to increase its strength.

After half an hour, Shen Ye finally finished drawing the bowstring and wrapped it in the middle to prevent it from wearing out after prolonged use.

Shen Ye picked it up and examined it for a while. He was very satisfied with the bow he had made. All that was missing was the arrow. Making arrows was not easy, especially since he had to attach a metal arrowhead and consider that it would be used repeatedly so that it wouldn't be damaged after being shot once.

Otherwise, the workload of making arrows would be too great.

Shen Ye found some straight tree branches and repeatedly trimmed them with a survival knife, shaping a branch as thick as a thumb into the size of an arrow shaft while ensuring it was perfectly straight. The amount of work involved was considerable.

There's only one knife, so I can't even help.

However, Shen Ye didn't let everyone sit idle. To make more sharp knives, they needed to burn charcoal, and charcoal couldn't be made in a short time.

Therefore, we must make preparations as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late to prepare when we need it.

Shen Ye ordered his men to find a large amount of firewood.

Because he didn't have much experience in charcoal making, especially in making charcoal from raw firewood, which required a lot of skill.

The steps are the same, but with raw firewood, it's extremely difficult to judge whether the combustion is complete, and the sealing time of the kiln is also hard to control, making it easy to burn the wood or not burn it into charcoal.

Shen Ye certainly couldn't reveal that he didn't know how to make charcoal. He asked Ningbo to find someone who knew how to make charcoal, and then he could hand over the task to them.

I took the opportunity to learn from the sidelines.

If you really can't find anyone else, then you'll just have to do it yourself. Anyway, nobody knows anything about this, and if you mess it up, nobody else will know where the problem lies either, so there's not much to say.

Not long after, Ningbo brought over the young engineer. He was from the north and used to burn charcoal every winter to sell for money when he was a child.

"Brother Ye, don't you know how to make charcoal?" the engineer asked instinctively.

"How could I? I'm too tired today and need to rest. I'll leave the charcoal-making to you, but don't mess it up," Shen Ye said without batting an eye.

"Don't worry, Brother Ye. I've been making charcoal with my family since I was a child. The charcoal we make is top-notch. But why do we make charcoal? It's not cold here."

"The engineer asked."

"This charcoal is for blacksmithing. We only have one knife, which is definitely not enough. Blacksmith Li will have to make us more daggers and machetes in the future," Shen Ye said.

"Then leave it to me, but you need to lend me your shovel. I need to dig a pit to make a kiln."

The engineer said.

Shen Ye nodded and found a multi-functional shovel in his survival toolbox. It could be used as a spade, a machete, or a saw.

It's only about an arm's length long, which makes it inconvenient to dig.

"Engineer Deng, I'll leave this to you. I'll go check on how their spear-throwing devices are coming along."

After speaking to the engineer, Shen Ye patted him on the shoulder like a senior colleague.

Engineer Deng nodded repeatedly.

Shen Ye arrived at Cui Zhengxi's place; they had already made several spear throwers.

Shen Ye picked it up and tried it out.

The hook at the back can catch the spear shaft well, preventing it from slipping when thrown.

Cui Zhengxi is a very reliable worker.

Everything was going in a good direction, and Shen Ye decided to go back into the cabin to close his eyes. Just as he walked to the front of the cabin, there was a loud bang behind him.

Everyone fell silent.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and what they saw startled them.

A high-powered, square-shaped drone, with a long black rope attached, fell from the sky and crashed straight to the ground, breaking one of its arms.

The black rope extends all the way to the sky.

But there's clearly nothing in the sky, so how did this rope end up hanging down from there?

This strange phenomenon stunned everyone.

Shen Ye quickly walked over, and Cui Zhengxi and the others also put down their work and came over, looking at the square drone that was about two meters long on each side.

Shen Ye gently tugged on the rope, and it immediately fell down, startling everyone who took a few steps back.

The rope was at least a hundred meters long, and it all hit the drone. Everyone looked up at the sky again, but the sky was still the same, with nothing there.

"Damn it! What on earth is going on?"

Mike picked up the black rope from the ground and examined it. Shen Ye also looked at the broken end of the rope. It wasn't broken neatly; it seemed to have been corroded or broken due to aging.

There was an optical fiber in the middle of the rope.

Shen Ye immediately thought of a possibility, and quickly removed the rope to see the interface it was connected to on the drone.

It really is a network cable!

It's used to control drones!

But nowadays, no one uses a drone like that; they all use radio control. The only explanation for the use of wired drones is that modern humans have discovered that they have traveled through time and arrived at the place where they disappeared, and have begun to use drones to try to find the exit.

The drone had a label with the United Nations logo. In addition to the UN logo, there was a sticker with densely packed English text and it was strictly waterproofed.

Cui Zhengxi squatted down to read the English text above.

"Please tell us what's going on with you? Three months ago, another plane disappeared, but not from here. Our drones entered their space, but we haven't received any response. We hope you're still alive. Please reply to us as soon as possible!"

Cui Zhengxi read the contents aloud.

Everyone present was so excited they were almost crying.

Shen Ye also felt as if he had been electrocuted. He had a feeling of being reborn, and he believed that others felt the same way.

"There's another medicine box down there!"

Zhou Jian lifted the drone with force and saw an aluminum alloy medicine box below, with a conspicuous red cross on the outside.

"Never mind that for now. Does anyone here know how to repair drones? We need to get them back as soon as possible; the entrance is probably only about a hundred meters up there!"

Shen Ye said excitedly.
