The tools were too primitive, and all the work efficiency was very low, so it took me two days to cut forty or fifty bamboos of about ten meters, and half of them were cut little by little with a hand knife.

Look at the island's thicker bamboos have been cut by me, for a while it is very recovered, because the land here is too barren, and the island is very small, the sea water is easy to be blown by the sea breeze to salinize the land on the island, so the land on this island is very salty, and the bamboo that is not tolerant to salt grows very slowly, which is the coastal city coastline vegetation is very sparse is the manifestation of salinization, fortunately, a lot of rainfall in this area can dilute the salt here, and the plants can grow slowly. l

I don't have to worry about the island's environment right now, and it's important to get the rainwater harvesting installed as soon as possible.

These bamboos are as thick as a teacup and about eight meters long, what I have to do now is to cut them into about one meter and a half, then split them in half, and then remove the middle grid, and finally put them together to form a surface for them to tilt, so that a simple and effective rainwater collection device is ready.

It's easy to say and look at, but for people who don't have the right tools, such a simple job can be like climbing to the sky.

The sailor's knife was so badly worn that it was difficult to continue to use it, so I had to use a stone axe to chop it little by little or sharpen it little by little, and in order to save effort and speed, I had to burn the bamboo with fire, and it took me two days to cut it.

It is still very labor-saving to split the bamboo, as long as one end of the bamboo is cut with a stone axe, and the wooden wedge is smashed into the mouth with a stone hammer, the characteristics of the bamboo are easy to be split, and finally the partition in the middle of the bamboo is knocked out, so that the material of the rainwater collection device is made, and the next thing is to assemble.

In fact, this device is very simple, that is, the bamboo splits are placed together at an angle to make bamboo rows tied with bamboo wire, and then a few bamboo splits are placed under the bamboo rafts as a rain collection pipe, and the rainwater can be collected when it rains.

I calculated that the bamboo raft for collecting rain is about 30 square meters, and even if the rain is 10 mm each time, the 30-square-meter bamboo raft can collect 300 kilograms of fresh water at a time.

Of course, I have to store water to be useful, and the only containers I can use to store water now are plastic bottles and cans, but I also have life raft air bags, which can be used to store fresh water with a slight change, and I have at least four air bags to use, which is more than enough to store 400 kilograms of water.

However, the water stored in the air bag tastes bad for a long time, and there is a smell of rubber, but there is no good way now, and I am trying to solve the problem of water storage appliances in the future.

Looking at the bamboo row in front of me is very gratifying, I can't believe that I did it alone, since I can remember that I don't seem to have done much physical work, I didn't expect that the power of people under adversity and pressure is not to be underestimated.

These days of continuous work have made me very tired, especially my hands have long been scarred, and the blood blisters have made my hands hurt like fire, so I have to wash them with seawater, which is now the best anti-inflammatory potion for me.

Next, I want to take a good rest, the work is too heavy these days, which also blames me for being too anxious to do things, if I come slowly little by little, I will not be tired like this, after all, I have time, it seems that what I want to do in the future can not be so urgent.

I lay on the bed and rested in my heart looking forward to the rain soon, there is no dew at all these days, the coconut is my only source of water, it is not a few days on the island, it feels like it has been more than half a month, in short, there is little coconut left on the island, you have to go up the tree to pick it if you want to drink coconut water, the coconut tree is more than ten meters high and it is difficult to climb up, the most important thing is that I am still a little afraid of heights, I don't want to take this risk or hope to rain quickly.

The rain I was looking forward to was finally coming, there were bursts of thunder in the distance, a cool breeze was blowing in the face, and the sea was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and a gust of wind and rain was coming.

When I was a child, I had a sense of fear and depression about this sudden rainfall, just now the sky was still clear, suddenly the dark clouds were overpowering, the wind was strong, and the sky immediately darkened, at this time I was really scared, there was an inexplicable nervousness and even panic in my heart, I quickly ran home and closed the doors and windows and then pretended to be relaxed and indifferent, because if I showed that I was afraid that my brothers and sisters would make fun of me, in fact, my heart kept beating.

But now I'm looking forward to it, and the thirst for rain has completely suppressed the fear in my heart.

When the wind had passed, the sea was calm, and there was a continuous sound in the distance, louder and louder, and I knew that it was the sound of rain falling and that it was heavy rain, and that it was a heavy downpour.

I knelt in the rain and closed my eyes and opened my mouth to look up to the sky and howl, letting the rain soak my body and wash away the sweat and exhaustion on my body.

For many days I just bathed in seawater, my body was full of salt and made me very uncomfortable, today I can finally wash a clean one, here is my own world, I have no scruples to take off my clothes, naked in the heavy rain.

It's a pleasure,,,,,

I'm not stupid or mentally ill, I know very well that I can't just indulge in the rain for too long, I'm going to get sick.

I checked my rain collection bamboo raft, it seems to work very well, the rain is flowing into the water bag, and the rain is very heavy and has already collected a water bag, I filled all my bottles with rainwater, reconnected the water bag and hurried back to the hut, after staying in the rain for a long time, you will catch a cold.

It seems that in the future, I will build a shed to keep out the rainwater in the place where the rainwater is collected, otherwise I will get wet when I collect the rainwater.

I went back to the hut naked and felt the chill, but luckily I still had a simple thermal suit, opened the package and put it on, then raised the fire to roast the fish and shellfish I had picked up, and boiled water in a canning box, after all, don't drink raw water in the wild.
