Would it really take 200 years for a single person to solo build a bridge like this?
Key factors to consider:
>the person doesn't age
>this is his full time job but he needs to hunt for food every day
>he is a master of his craft
>he has to cut trees and transport them to the construction site
>going from one way of the cliff to the other takes about a week walking

There is no way that would take 200 ye-
>>going from one way of the cliff to the other takes about a week walking
Here is the problem

You would need to run ropes across for temporary support, so those can also be used to avoid the week long walk.

How far is it?
>>
What factors? You shoot 2 strings over, pound down some anchors, and then use that to get larger ropes from the other side, and maybe you have to do that a few times in case the string isn't beefy enough to drag the real string.

Realistically, you only have to cross twice. Once the supports via ropes are done, its just a matter of manual labor.
Where planning and doing the correct steps only speed up the process.

It's a trick question. He doesn't age so he took it easy and worked at the most chill pase possible.
>>
The design makes me think he didn't really understand structural support so even more than 200 years.
>>
>>16952541
Simple wooden structure? 200 years definitely, probably 600 if we are being generous potentially thousands of years of work for a single man.

A person with 200 years of life experience would have the wisdom to see that the Lord put the chasm there for a reason, and that there was nothing on the other side that he doesn't already have at home.

>>16952541
bro just build a tall ramp thing on one side and drop it across. or just take a very long pole and drop a length of rope on the other side

then you have all the time in the world to build the bridge

takes like a week or month tops to set up, then it's just regular carpentry

>>16952541
it took that long because demons kept destroying it.

Apparently it takes more than a couple centuries to even repair a bridge, so building one must take even longer.

There's a village in Laos or something that built a large bamboo bridge over a river which gets destroyed by flooding every year so they come together to rebuild it each time.
Interesting contrast.

t. anyone whose seen a rope before

the bridge is larger and more impressive in the manga, not sure why they scaled it down in the anime
>>
>>16952839
That's how most ancient bridges were done in Europe. Wood and then destroyed in flooding. Stone bridges were rare.

I don't see how a single person could get the big logs on top by themselves

none of them look heavier than ~100-200kg, build a cart and pull them you DYEL faggot

>>16952568
that's pussy shit just long jump across

>>16952609
Also he got paid in advance by a dude that would certainly never go back to check the finished bridge.

That bridge was built by Africans and destroyed by Europeans during WWII though.

Are you banned from using ropes or pulleys in this scenario? Why would you not put up something that makes transport more efficient
>>
>>16955748
It wasn't, if that were the case they would have repaired it. African countries have gotten more than a hundred Martial plans worth of aid
>>
>>16952541
That's a few week's work, max. The real trick is the arched bridge you build next to it.

Why not use turtling?

it wasn't
and the bridge is "repaired"
