290. Modern equipment
Soon Chen Zhe steered the sailboat to dock near the remains of the rubber boat, because it was already very close to the camp, so everyone landed from here and docked the sailboat on the shore.
Chen Zhe took the lead and walked towards the rubber boat, glancing at the unfortunate stranded vehicle.
The last violent collision caused the airbag of the dinghy to leak and was carried to the shore by the current, losing the protection of the airbag, and the powerful impact caused the entire plank to be severely twisted and deformed, and roughly speaking, the engine located at the back of the dinghy was certainly not immune.
Seeing this scene, Meixi couldn't help frowning and said, "This rubber boat is too badly damaged, I feel that it should be of no use......
Da Qiao also nodded and said, "Yes, the most valuable engine is probably broken, right?"
"Don't worry, let me see. Chen Zhe said calmly, and walked towards the position of the rubber boat first.
He deliberately left a few girls and camera boys behind, just to see the true form of the engine in advance, and if the engine is unfortunately broken, then he can use the item upgrade system to repair it instantly.
As long as he moves fast enough, no one else will be able to detect the trickiness in it.
Stepping over a piece of sludge, Chen Zhe stepped first to the remains of the rubber boat, gently lifted the deflated airbag to take a look, and he immediately saw the engine of the rubber boat.
This is a very common outboard motor, also known as a paddle hanger, which is used by many small speedboats, lifeboats or fishing boats, with complex and heavy motors and components at the upper end and a bearing sticking out at the lower end that can be used to hold the propeller.
The engine had a simple structure and limited resistance to blows, and it was clear that it had suffered fatal injuries in previous impacts.
Chen Zhe's gaze swept over, and the system also made a judgment.
[Item Detected: A badly damaged engine.] γ
[Item is currently durable.]
[Item value: 50 yuan.] γ
[Do you spend 100 popularity points for item upgrades?] γ
"Sure enough, it's completely broken......
Chen Zhe pondered with a headache in his heart,
"Maybe when the dinghy landed, the tail hit the shore, and the engine was directly damaged. β
And then the girls behind them began to ask.
"Chen Zhe, how is it?"
"Chen Zhe, can the engine still work?"
"Brother Xiao Chen, what's the situation over there?"
Because Chen Zhe's back and the wreckage of the rubber boat blocked the view, the girls couldn't see the engine, and even the camera brother couldn't arrive in time, so it was safe for the time being.
"God help me. β
Chen Zhe was overjoyed in his heart, and at the same time, he immediately used the item upgrade system.
"Upgrade. β
[A badly damaged engine]βUpgradeβ[A broken engine].
The change only happened in an instant, the engine that was originally knocked crooked, and even the shell was about to shatter, suddenly recovered, and the severely deformed parts gradually returned to their original appearance, but the wear and tear of these parts were very serious, and they looked tattered.
"A battered engine may not work, so you might as well upgrade it again. β
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone did not get close, Chen Zhe chose to upgrade again.
"Upgrade. β
[A battered engine] - Upgrade - [A worn and worn engine].
The durability of the item has recovered to more than 2,000 points, and the value of the item has reached more than 700 yuan. β
At this time, the girls behind him came over one after another, and Da Qiao asked while probing over: "Chen Zhe, how is it, can the engine still work?"
"It should work. Chen Zhe pretended to have just seen the engine, pointed to it and said, "I don't think the damage is serious, but there are some scratches on the surface." β
"Really?" said Big Joe, in disbelief.
After all, the entire rubber boat is badly deformed, and the engine will be unharmed.
But after she went over to see it herself, she believed Chen Zhe's statement.
"It's really not badly damaged, it looks pretty good...... Da Qiao nodded.
Meixi smiled: "Great, now we can use waste." β
"That's right. Xiao Qiao also said, "It's a waste for people like Lin Kongkong to use this kind of good thing, so it won't be ruined if Chen Zhe uses it." β
Yan'er asked curiously, "Brother Xiao Chen, how are you going to use this engine?"
Chen Zhe shook his head and said: "Probably not, there are sails on the sailboat, this is already a natural power system, and there is no point in hanging another engine, I plan to use it to do something else." β
"What else, what else?" the girls were very curious.
Chen Zhe smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes." β
After confirming that the engine could be disposed of, Chen Zhe walked to the side of the rubber boat and carefully removed the engine.
The weight of this kind of paddle machine is not large, so Chen Zhe can carry it alone, but some diesel fuel leaked out during the collision, and the mechanical connection itself has some engine oil, so Chen Zhe's hands, arms and clothes are dirty, and there is a special smell.
However, the thought of being able to use modern mechanical tools right away makes it a point of inconsequential difficulty.
And at the same time.
The director team of Wilderness Survival.
The director saw from the sub-shot that Chen Zhe's group picked up the engine of the empty rubber boat, and even if he went to ask the chief director, after all, the rubber boat was a prop for other players, and he didn't know if Chen Zhe violated the rules by doing so.
"Director Zhang, there is such a thing - Lin Kongkong's rubber boat was not knocked over by Chen Zhe before, and now the rubber boat happened to be stranded outside Chen Zhe's camp, Chen Zhe passed by just now and picked up the engine of the rubber boat. β
When Director Zhang heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Come to me to report on such a trivial matter?"
"Uh......" The director was scared for a while, and hurriedly smiled, "Director Zhang, after all, this rubber boat was rewarded by Lin Kongkong's fans, and now it is directly used by Chen Zhe and them, I am worried...... I'm worried that this is against the rules. β
Director Zhang sneered and asked, "Has the empty rubber boat crashed into the shore and was broken?"
"Yes, indeed. The director nodded.
"It is estimated that the engine must have been crashed, and the rubber boat prepared by our props team, you and I know what quality it is, and it will definitely not be able to be used anymore after being hit like this. β
Director Zhang said disdainfully,
"Only a petty person like Chen Zhe will take the tattered as a baby, and the engine that has been smashed a long time ago is a pile of broken copper and iron, even if you pick it up, what's the use?"
The director understood as soon as he heard it, nodded and said, "I understand, then you mean that you don't need to restrict Chen Zhe, this broken engine will be given to him, right?"
"Yes, yes, let him take it, he won't use it anyway, what's the impact......" Director Zhang said impatiently.
"I see. β
The director nodded, turned around and returned to his post.
And the other side.
Chen Zhe just happened to be dragging the dilapidated engine back to the camp.
Despite two upgrades, the engine still looks tattered, with several shocking scratches on the exterior and a slightly open mouth on the case cover.
Carrying the engine back under the banyan tree, Chen Zhe found two pieces of wood to set up the engine.
Looking at this tattered and unsightly machine, the girls frowned.
"Can this engine still work?" Xiao Qiao couldn't help but wonder, "It's all rotten like this......
Mi-hee also said nervously: "Whether it can run or not is secondary, I'm just worried about it exploding...... Chen Zhe, why don't you stay away from it? β
Chen Zhe couldn't help but be amused by Meixi's innocent appearance: "Explosion? No, Meixi, this kind of engine will not explode unless it is burned with an open flame." β
After speaking, Chen Zhe picked up the engine and started to start.
Hold the joystick and shake it vigorously, and the diesel fuel will gradually burn up inside the engine.
The girls all looked nervously at the broken engine in front of them, for fear that it would suddenly explode or have some other accident.
Only Chen Zhe is confident in it, because this is something that has been blessed by the item upgrade system, even if it looks tattered on the outside, the internal structure is still guaranteed.
One, two, three......
Chen Zhe's arm was firm and powerful, and he quickly shook the rocker of the engine.
After three more laps, the engine was running straight away.
"Sudden ......"
The bulky engine made a sound similar to that of a farm vehicle, and at the same time, the black exhaust fumes of burning diesel fuel slowly came out.
Everyone has lived on the island for nearly three months, and every day they breathe very fresh air, and they have almost forgotten the smell of exhaust fumes.
And as soon as they smell this smell of fuel, everyone seems to be back in the busy big city in an instant.
A few minutes later, everyone stared at the smoothly running engine in front of them, and smiles of joy appeared on their faces.
As it turned out, the engine, although it looked tattered, was actually perfectly functional.
"Great, Chen Zhe, it looks like we have the engine. Big Joe laughed.
"I didn't expect it to be repurposed. Xiao Qiao also said with a smile.
And the other side.
The director team of Wilderness Survival.
Through the sub-camera screen, the director saw that Chen Zhe actually started the engine, and it seemed that the engine was running very stably without any faults.
The director was directly stupid.
What's going on?
Is the quality of the engine prepared by our program team so good?
glanced back at the chief director sitting in the director's chair basking in the sun, and the director was entangled for a while.
"What should I do? Do you want to report this matter to the chief director again? Tell him that the engine that Chen Zhe picked up was not damaged, but was running well, and told him...... You were slapped in the face by Chen Zhe again!
Forget it...... With the amount of the chief director's belly, he ascended to heaven on the spot without anger?"
The director deliberated again and again and decided not to report this matter for the time being.
"Since the chief director personally spoke just now and asked Chen Zhe to take the engine away, then this is not my responsibility......" the director thought to himself.
......
After testing the engine without any problems, Chen Zhe turned off the engine and started a new plan.
Engines are a very valuable technology in the desert island environment, which can quickly increase the workforce.
At the same time that Chen Zhe was preparing to create a new tool, several girls were also speculating about what Chen Zhe was holding back this time.
Meixi looked at the engine and asked tentatively, "Chen Zhe, are you planning to use this engine to make a chainsaw?"
"Chainsaw?" Chen Zhe smiled lightly, "This is indeed an interesting idea. β
The engine of the rubber boat was originally adapted to the propeller, and the rotation mode of the propeller is indeed very similar to the chainsaw.
After all, wood is a very important and basic tool on the island.
However, this was not Chen Zhe's intention.
He smiled and shook his head: "Although the chainsaw is very useful and can indeed improve our work efficiency, in fact, we can usually cut wood with a logging axe and a handmade wooden saw, and there is no need to rely on the chainsaw to complete this work."
Using an engine to make a chainsaw is a bit overkill. β
"That's right......" Mi-hee nodded slightly.
She really wanted to ask Chen Zhe what tools he planned to make, but she knew that Chen Zhe would definitely not say anything, so she didn't ask any more, but chose to observe Chen Zhe silently.
At this time, Chen Zhe already had a very mature plan in his mind, he wanted to make a rather shocking big guy, but before making this big guy, he had to find materials first.
The most abundant thing on the island is the wood resources, and wood is also the raw material for making big guys, but ordinary wood is not strong enough and not resistant to wear and tear, and cannot meet Chen Zhe's requirements.
What Chen Zhe needs must be the strongest wood.
Chen Zhe had already observed the trees around the camp before, and outside the banyan forest, in a forest next to Liatila's camp, there were some strange big trees growing.
These trees are towering into the sky and have thick trunks that are very different from the tropical tree species that surround them.
Through the identification of the item upgrade system, Chen Zhe learned that they have a very strange name - Shoe Pea.
This strange name is extremely unpopular, not many people have heard of it, even Chen Zhe, who has the memory of two lifetimes, has never heard of this kind of tree at all, and only thinks that this name seems to be made randomly.
But when Chen Zhe cut down the trees of this tree and used the system to identify them, he saw a familiar name - Ebonwood.
The wood of the shoe pigeon bean tree is the famous ebony wood.
This wood is very popular in the furniture market, it is a very valuable wood species, the material of wood is known for its hardness, toughness, and not easy to deform, of course, the most famous is its beautiful color and texture.
This kind of wood is the material that Chen Zhe needs most at the moment.
