Lu Zhe took it over, and information from the system immediately came to his mind: "Ding! Important tool materials discovered, banana fiber! Potential point +1!."
Below was a bunch of encyclopedia introductions about banana fiber!
But Lu Zhe could clearly see that it clearly said: "Not edible!"
"Hey, have you guys eaten it?"
"No, we were just waiting to share it with you!"
"Look, aren't we all so thoughtful?"
"Yes, Xiaozhe, look how blessed you are!"
Lu Zhe nodded: "It's good you didn't eat it!"
"What do you mean?"
Lu Zhe weighed the thing in his hand: "You did find a very important material, but this is banana fiber, not banana, it is not edible!"
Tang Xiaoguo blinked: "Banana fiber, banana? There's a difference?"
Ning Shu was a little skeptical, peeled one open to take a look!
Inside was exposed white flesh!
"It's no different from a banana!"
Saying that, she ripped off a section, and suddenly, a bunch of black "bugs" gushed out together!
It scared Ning Shu so much that she immediately threw away the "banana" in her hand!
"Ah ah, there are bugs, how disgusting!"
The other three girls also threw away the "bananas" and huddled together!
"Don't make a fuss!" Lu Zhe, however, reacted exceptionally calmly, he picked up half a section of "banana" and explained: "The black ones are not bugs, they are its seeds. Both the fruit pulp and seeds are toxic, they are not edible!"
Hearing Lu Zhe say this, the girls all leaned in to take a look, and found that the little black dots did not move!
Lin Qianqian was surprised: "They really are seeds?"
Jiang Yao sighed: "Why can't this banana-like thing be eaten, and it grows so disgusting?"
Tang Xiaoguo said: "Because it's indecent!"
Lu Zhe collected some banana fiber seeds and put them in an empty bottle.
Lin Qianqian said: "Lu Zhe, you said earlier that this banana fiber is also an important resource, right?"
"That's right!" Lu Zhe nodded,
"Since it can't be eaten, what can it be used for?"
"This stuff is called banana fiber, also called Manila hemp. The fruit looks like a banana, but it is actually the most important economic crop in Southeast Asia. The stems and leaves are rich in plant fibers that can be used to make ropes, fishing nets and other things! Ropes made from it are much more useful than ordinary bark ropes."
Ning Shu nodded: "Right on point!"
Tang Xiaoguo was confused: "We want food and fresh water, what do we need ropes for?"
Lu Zhe explained: "Guo'er, ropes are an indispensable resource in the survival process. They are as important as flint, machetes, cookware, and tarpaulins! They are useful for making safety ropes, shelters, rafts, hammocks, and more!"
"Really?!"
"Let's go take a look at the banana fiber!"
"Qianqian you take care of them, I'll take Lu Zhe there!" Ning Shu said.
Lu Zhe followed Ning Shu into the woods from another direction. Sure enough, they didn't go far before seeing a banana fiber plant!
It was about two meters high, with a thigh-thick stem and long, thick leaves, bearing bunches of banana-like things.
Judging roughly, the bark ropes pulled from this single banana fiber plant would be at least several dozen meters long.
And there must be more than just this one banana fiber plant in these woods.
Ning Shu was about to walk forward when Lu Zhe grabbed her!
"What... Mmph!"
She had just wanted to speak when Lu Zhe covered her mouth, and pointed ahead!
Ning Shu looked closely, and saw a large rat poke its head out cautiously not far away!
If Lu Zhe hadn't covered her mouth, she would have definitely cried out!
"Don't shout..." Lu Zhe whispered in Ning Shu's ear, then quietly grabbed a rock.
He planned to wait for the rat to get close, then smash it with the rock!
However, the rat walked a few steps forward, discovered two puddles of water on the ground!
It sniffed, then panicked and dove into the bushes and disappeared.
Lu Zhe threw the rock. He didn't hit the rat, and was a bit disappointed!
Ning Shu frowned: "Do rats have cleanliness issues too?"
"The place where you and Qianqian peed?!"
Ning Shu said unhappily: "Ugh!"
Lu Zhe thought for a moment, and came to a conclusion: "Many mammals can judge the size of their opponent through the smell, volume of urine, and then think they have intruded into someone else's territory! Obviously, it thought it had accidentally entered the territory you divided!"
"Divide... territory..."
Ning Shu immediately imagined dogs peeing at the base of trees, shaking with anger:
"Lu Zhe! Us girls just peed a little, is that dividing territory?"
"Classmate don't get angry! But really, what I said makes sense too! Sometimes, the smell of human urine can indeed drive away some smaller, sensitive rodent animals. Relatively speaking, the repelling effect of male urine is better than female urine! But if we pour the urine of the five of us together at the base of a tree, it would be enough to scare away some medium-sized predators..."
Ning Shu said helplessly: "I really don't understand, where did you learn all this weird knowledge?!"
"Read more books and newspapers, eat less snacks and sleep more!"
"I read books too, how come I didn't learn so much weird knowledge!"
"When others are making a fire, you took a group of girls to study how to help boys get rid of bad habits! Speaking of which, isn't the knowledge you know more strange?"
As soon as he said this, Ning Shu immediately lost her temper, muttering: "You you you you... your behavior back then was very suspicious!"
"Alright, we didn't catch the rat, let's take a look at the banana fiber!"
Lu Zhe walked over and ripped off a leaf, pulling out a long fiber from the leaf base!
"After removing the leaf pulp, soaking, drying, twisting several strands together, it can be used as a rope! The fibers stripped from the leaves can make thin ropes! If you want something sturdier, you can extract it from the stems, but it’s more time consuming and laborious!"
Saying that, Lu Zhe began to tear off the banana fiber tissues one by one!
"It really works!"
Ning Shu also helped remove the remaining leaf pulp!
In a short while, the two had torn off ten banana fiber ropes from this banana fiber plant!
Seeing they had made quite a lot, Ning Shu said: "That should be enough right?"
"At least sixty or so!"
"What are you making so many for?"
"To build the shelter!"
"We're finally starting on the shelter?"
Ning Shu said excitedly: "Looking forward to having the feeling of a dorm again, hurry up!"
After half an hour, the two had torn off more than sixty two-meter long fine hemp ropes!
Then they twisted every three into one thicker rope, making six or seven thicker ropes to use for tying.
Only then did they return!
Next, Lu Zhe carried back the seven small logs he had chopped earlier!
Ning Shu found a relatively wind-sheltered place: "Comrades, let's build a shelter here today!"
Tang Xiaoguo happily said: "A shelter, don't have to live in pits anymore, yay!!"
Jiang Yao said emotionally: "If not for Lu Zhe, I really wouldn't dare believe I could survive in a place like this!"
Lin Qianqian nodded: "Me too!"
"Let's not say anything else, to survive better, let's get started!"
