"Chen Fan, are we going to hunt large felines now?"

"With such good weapons at our disposal, I think we will definitely succeed this time."

Liu Feifei asked impatiently.

This crossbow took a whole day to make, and it's finally ready to be used.

If they can hunt down a large feline, they will get a lot of food.

At the same time, you can also get a very nice fur coat.

If you use it as a blanket at night, it will definitely be very, very warm to sleep in!

"No rush, there's still plenty of time."

"These large felines are usually nocturnal, so it's very difficult to spot them during the day."

"Let's set off a little later!"

Chen Fan shook his head and explained.

These large felines mostly rest during the day and only come out to hunt at night.

If you try to catch them during the day, the success rate is obviously very low.

"Okay! So what do we need to do now?"

Liu Feifei looked around and realized there was nothing else she needed to do.

For now, it seems all we can do is prepare some dinner and wait for nightfall before going hunting felines.

"You go and prepare dinner, and I'll install the doors and windows in our shelter."

Chen Fan glanced at the shelter, which had no doors or windows, and decided to finish this task first.

Although it wasn't very cold at night, I always felt unsafe without doors and windows, and I felt a little uneasy!

Only after the doors and windows are installed can it be considered a proper shelter.

"Okay! I'll go cook then. Just let me know if there's anything you need me to do." Liu Feifei nodded and then went to prepare dinner.

Dinner was still very simple: we picked some edible wild vegetables from the neighborhood and stir-fried them.

Then I'll bake two cassava potatoes; that'll be tonight's dinner.

There's nothing we can do; the food options have been so limited these past few days. As the saying goes, even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice.

Without raw materials, even a master chef from a five-star hotel would probably have to shake his head in frustration!

"Okay! I will."

After Chen Fan nodded, he began making the doors and windows.

Windows are actually relatively simpler; you can make blinds.

First, saw the log into pieces of uniform length, then make a small hole at each end and in the middle!

Finally, use ropes woven from tree bark to string all the wooden pieces together, thus creating a simple yet practical Venetian blind.

Of course, it's perfectly fine without drilling small holes. You can use rope to secure and connect the pieces one by one, but there might be a tiny gap in the middle.

As for wooden doors, they are a bit more troublesome.

It may use mortise and tenon joints, a building technique that has been used since ancient times.

Even today, it is still widely used in many construction and furniture manufacturing processes!

Buildings and furniture made using the mortise and tenon technique have excellent fit and connection, and are sturdy and durable.

Time slipped away quietly as Chen Fan was creating the film!

As the sun sets, night begins to fall.

Around 8 p.m., Chen Fan finally finished making the doors and windows.

It's not as aesthetically pleasing as those made by old carpenters, but it's still passable!

The main reason is that Chen Fan didn't have many professional tools; otherwise, the finished product would definitely have been much more beautiful.

"Come on, let's try out our doors and windows and see how they work?"

After the doors and windows were finished, Chen Fan also asked Liu Feifei to try them out.

"It looks really good!"

"The inlay techniques you just used were amazing! It feels like you used to work in this field."

"Tell me the truth, did you really work in construction before? Did you have in-depth exchanges and learning from veteran carpenters?"

Liu Feifei nodded with great certainty. At this moment, she was even more convinced that Chen Fan must have studied architectural technology.

Otherwise, how could he be so familiar with this area?

Every step in the door-making process is meticulous, and every piece of wood is perfectly inlaid.

It would be impossible to do this without two and a half years of practice!

Then I went over and tried it out; the doors and windows fit perfectly.

Moreover, it has excellent flexibility and isn't stiff at all...

"No, not at all. It's just that I enjoy watching documentaries, so the more I watch, the more knowledgeable I become in various aspects!" Chen Fan smiled and said very modestly.

As we all know, having a basic understanding is far better than being an expert...

If someone tells you that they only have a superficial understanding of a certain subject...

Without a doubt, his expertise in this area must be profound.

"I'm so glad I can team up with you!"

"Did you use the same inlay technique when we were making the roof?" Liu Feifei asked, relieved.

Because when Chen Fan was building the rafters and main beams, he had also carved the same structure into those materials!

"Yes, that's right!"

"This is called a mortise and tenon structure. In the past, the ancient architecture industry in our Dragon Kingdom basically used this structure for construction."

"This method allows the nodes between components to fit together better and more perfectly, and it becomes more and more robust over time. This is the wisdom of the ancients."

Chen Fan smiled and nodded.

If you don't use mortise and tenon joints to build a shelter with wood, the connection and integration will definitely be poor.

The shelter may then face the risk of collapse...

"You...you know so much!" Liu Feifei said with admiration.

At this time, 90% of the viewers in the live stream also acknowledged Chen Fan's abilities.

"Wow!! Chen Fan is amazing! He seems to be outstanding in every aspect."

"Yeah! Chen Fan seems to have a physique and abilities far beyond his peers."

"He even understands mortise and tenon joints, this kid is amazing! I thought young people wouldn't know much about these things!"

...

Even the mentors commenting on the live stream were surprised by Chen Fan's extensive knowledge.

"Three mentors, what do you think of Chen Fan's performance?"

Are you familiar with this mortise and tenon structure?

He Rihuo looked at Wang Jie and Xie Ming and asked with a smile.

He knew almost nothing about architecture!

However, I just looked it up on Baidu, and it turns out it's a truly remarkable invention and a testament to the wisdom of our ancestors.

No wonder some ancient buildings have stood for thousands of years without collapsing.

"Ahem!! Actually, I don't know much about this."

"But judging from Chen Fan's introduction, he does seem quite impressive..."

"And this little guy is indeed a dark horse, worth paying close attention to."

Wang Jie coughed awkwardly, then honestly shook his head.

It also expressed admiration for Chen Fan...

There are fewer and fewer young people who understand these traditional crafts these days.

"I'm ashamed to say, I haven't done much research in this area!"

"But I'm starting to have a better opinion of this kid Chen Fan..." Xie Ming shook his head awkwardly.

However, as the saying goes, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, and it's normal not to know something if you're studying a different area.

His research focuses on wilderness flora and fauna, so he doesn't really know much about architecture...

As for actress Zhang Xiaotong, she understands even less about these things.
