"When it's all rolled up, bones will fall out. I hope they're not human bones."
"You're lying. There's no cemetery nearby, so there shouldn't be anyone here~"
Cham threatened them. Fino responded with a little fear. "If it comes out, we'll have to build a grave for it," she said, her voice revealing that she was about to cry.
“That’s false. Spiders dissolve their prey by injecting digestive fluids, so there’s no way bones would be left behind.”
"That's where the horror comes in~!"
(Huh? I’ve already caught up, why am I being photographed so hot?)
Under slightly absurd circumstances, Ye Kai started working on that sunny day.
First, make the spool. Install the ball bearings on the C-shaped bearings and fix the spool through the shaft. Install the rotating handle on the shaft and make the knob only with hard wood.
Next, a high-toughness spring alloy was used to design the reverse protection mechanism.
The inner wall of the spool is equipped with a triangular gear. Install the folded leaf spring component on the bearing and ensure that the spring fixing pin of the triangular gear is engaged.
The leaf spring bends and extends forward, so it cannot be reversed in the extended state; if you pull up the spring with your fingers, it can be turned into a reversible state.
A guide is installed on the spring part to prevent the fishing line from contacting the triangular gear of the spool, preventing wear and tear that may cause the line to break.
The foot that is fixed to the rod is installed on the back of the C-shaped bearing, and the production is complete. When the handle is turned, the spool makes a light clicking sound and rotates smoothly. It is really a much better fishing tackle than I imagined.
"Bravo."
After watching the spool being made, Chaim said as she moved to the side. She turned the handle with satisfaction. Let them continue to play and then assemble four more identical items.
"Are you a little tired? I want some tea." Cham immediately started to prepare tea. Under the sunshine today, probably all requests will be met.
By the way, I made a circular guide to install on the rod, and then moved on to the main event. This was an area that Ye Kai had no idea about, so he had to be careful.
I don't remember what I wanted to do with the coal, but I took it out and prepared to use it.
Even in this alien world, coal is widely used. It is mainly used for metal smelting. Seeing that even though the raw material is different from ancient wood and marine plankton, it is given the same name, it is understandable that there is almost no research in this area.
Because in this different world, there is magic. If you want to generate a lot of heat, it would be more convenient to use magic, Ye Kai thought.
Use the magic of transformation to remove impurities other than carbon from the coal. The remaining almost pure carbon powder is then added to the resin and mixed. At this time, it becomes black clay.
Ye Kai took it out and gently stretched it into a stick, then asked Fino: "I would like you to bake this, but I'm not sure about the temperature."
"I see. I'll start with the low temperature." Her smart mind would understand this quickly.
The experimental results show that a relatively high temperature is required for firing. The fired thin rods show considerable elasticity.
“This will be used to make fishing rods. I used to imagine what would happen when coal appeared.”
“Haha, indeed.”
Ye Kai finally entered the stage of making the rod body.
--------------
Ye Kai took a piece of rock and made it into a flat stone slab 4.2 meters long and 1.8 meters wide, and laid carbon black clay on it.
Next, form the metal core rod. Make a metal rod with a diameter of 18 mm in your hand, and then gradually thin it into a needle shape. Place this core rod on the black clay, wrap it around a few times, and cut off the excess. After hardening it with magic, take out the metal core rod inside.
In this way, the shape of the fishing rod is formed. After deforming the rod tail and adding the cap, pick it up and shake it gently. The finished product bends gracefully and makes a whirring sound in the wind. At this time, there will always be people who can't help but talk.
“Let me shake it! Can I?”
“Okay, but it’s just a prototype. It’s mine.”
"what--"
“So the quality will be better from the second one onwards.”
The 3-meter-long rod can be easily controlled even by Cham, producing a beautiful wind-cutting sound.
“So light…”
“This may be the biggest advantage of carbon materials.”
It is much lighter than the solid wooden pole I made last time.
The 3-meter length is quite long for a rod, but considering the low performance of the reel and the difficulty of casting, it is necessary to increase the casting distance by swinging. More importantly, the existence of the giant fish caught the day before yesterday is the reason for this design.
If you fail because of the inadequate performance of the fishing gear, it is better to be prepared from the beginning. This is Ye Kai’s basic style.
The fishing rod body has been formed and the parts can be installed.
First, a T-shaped reel base is wrapped and fused with fired carbon ribbon 30 cm from the rod tail.
Then, the looped guides for passing the fishing line are installed at regular intervals, with the intervals becoming shorter as they get closer to the tip of the rod. The handle is wrapped with a narrow belt to prevent slipping and is slightly fused.
"Finish!"
Judging from its appearance, this thing would certainly seem out of place in the other world, but this should be the result of prior investigation and success.
“That’s amazing. Just give it to me.”
"No, this is mine. Think about it, Chaim. Which one do you prefer, this prototype I made just for me, or the one I'll tweak for you next?"
"Well, ... it's better to use it for a special purpose."
“Then I’ll start making it now.”
"Um!"
Although the main body of the fishing rod is made of the same core material, the installation position of the reel and the position of the guide wire are slightly adjusted to produce dedicated products.
Finally, it was time for everyone to reel in spider silk. Place the reeled thread on a Y-shaped stick standing on the ground, pass the wire through the guide, tie it to the reel, and then turn the handle to reel it in.
After Ye Kai rolled about 300 meters, she took over and started with Cham to roll up the yarn one by one. She looked so smug and cute.
----------
As everyone admired the finished fishing rods and took a break to drink tea, Ye Kai said: "We did encounter many difficulties in making fishing gear, but the real work starts from catching a fish."
“!”
"The success or failure of fishing actually depends more on the bait."
"That's natural."
The lure is what comes into direct contact with the fish.
"How about everyone give it a try?"
“I’ll do it!”
“Fino is looking forward to it too.”
"I don't mind... No, I'll just do it myself."
When the reproachful eyes were focused on him, Tullio easily changed his previous statement.
Although the basic shape was created by Ye Kai, I let him do the subtle deformation and coloring. Generally speaking, adding eye patterns is a common practice, but his idea of looking forward to the other world would be different.
