Chapter 8 Fire and water

"Come, you come and listen. Xu Yi stood up and gave up his position to Lu Ke.

Lu Ke immediately understood, there must be a voice, Xu Yi will let him listen.

Sure enough, after lying down and listening to it, you can hear the 'boom' sound.

It's not particularly loud, but it's clear.

This shows that they are not far from the water source.

"Over there, over there!" Lu Ke jumped up excitedly and shouted by pointing to the front side.

Her mouth was already very thirsty, and she didn't encounter any kind of food along the way, but Xu Yi collected some dried moss and put it in the pocket of Lu Ke's jacket and muttered. Xu Yi's trouser pocket also has it, and it is also full.

"Let's go, we'll be able to drink water in no time. Xu Yi grinned, and then swept the dirt off Lu Ke's face.

"You have it too. Lu Ke giggled, then reached out and swept the dirt off Xu Yi's face.

Then the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and their mood suddenly improved.

"Let's go, let's go fetch water to drink. Once we had the water, we could start camping. Xu Yi said happily, after all, freshwater resources are the most important thing for survival in the wild.

With water, even if there is no staple food and only some wild vegetable soup, it can last for more than ten days.

Of course, Xu Yi's goal is 500 days.

After knowing that he could find water, Lu Ke's footsteps sped up.

Xu Yi glanced at the time, at 9:34, and hoped to find the water source before 10 o'clock.

This way, they have more time to find food and build shelter.

With shelter and a source of food, it is no problem to survive for a few years.

"Xu Yi, look, the waterfall, it's a waterfall, we have water. ”

Lu Ke shouted excitedly, pointing to the waterfall in the distance.

It is indeed a waterfall that cascades down from a very high place.

However, it is a little different from what Xu Yi thought.

Here is a broken gorge that divides the two sides in two.

"Xu Yi, what should we do now, do we want to go to the other side?" Lu Ke also realized that something was wrong and asked Xu Yi.

Right now, it's 10:04, and if you go to the other side, it's estimated that the day won't be enough.

Bottom, it looks very steep, and it is estimated that you have to cross the sea.

Their position here is also not high enough to see the whole picture.

How to choose?

Xu Yi didn't know how to choose, it was not a good thing to go on like this.

"Boil salt first, then draw water. Stock up on some water, and then we'll climb up to see the other side to see what's going on. Xu Yi made a decision, after all, there is still a chance to get water here.

The waterfall flew up to the mist, and when it met the infusion condensation, it dripped down like rain. So, fresh water can be collected here.

Of course, it will be a waste of time. The problem is that when there is no other source of water, they have to collect fresh water in this way.

"I'm going to dig an earthen stove, and you use a pot to catch a little rainwater. Xu Yi said a word, put the plastic bag in the pot on the ground, and handed the pot to Lu Ke.

Then I found a clearing between the trees and dug it up.

He is here, only less than 2 meters away from Lu Ke's side, if there is something, he can go to Lu Ke's side immediately.

In the live broadcast room, everyone expressed sympathy for Xu Yi and Lu Ke's experience.

"Hey, I thought little Lori was a koi, but I didn't expect bad luck. ”

"That's right, the broken valley has met them, which is also unlucky enough. So, they haven't met a small animal, so it should be because of this broken relationship, right?"

"Makes sense upstairs. ”

"Xu Yi's decision is quite right, now they need to rehydrate. If you don't hydrate, your body won't be able to hold on. ”

"The mountain may not be completely broken, they can't see the whole picture from this angle. I think Xu Yi will definitely continue to go up for a while. ”

At this time, Xu Yi was rapidly digging again with a public shovel, and it took less than 10 minutes for Xu Yi to dig out a head-sized hole in the soil.

Then, the top was flattened and a round hole was dug in the space. Next, he dug a small chimney with his sharpened crossbow arrows.

"Now it's time to make a simple bow for fire. Xu Yi said to himself, and then pulled out his belt.

The belt of this military is a good thing, the belt is alloyed, and the belt is made of 2 layers of cowhide.

If the belt head is melted, it can be made into a knife, which is one more tool.

In the wilderness of nothing, everything must be used to make more of a difference.

This is also the idea of the people who prepared these tools in the first place, so that the side of the sapper shovel is like an open sword, very sharp, and can cut most things.

Xu Yi clamped the sapper shovel with his legs, and then began to cut the belt.

Soon, Xu Yi had 6 more small belts in his hand, which was already the limit of what he could divide, and it was too possible in fine.

None of the thin belts were 1.5 meters long, Xu Yi took one out and prepared to make a fire bow, and the rest were tied to the belt, and the belt head was also put in Xu Yi's pocket.

The simple fire-taking bow was easy to make, and Xu Yi immediately made one out of a curved wooden stick.

However, this simple fire-taking bow was only used by Xu Yi to transition and make Iroquois-style fire-making tools, and the Iroquois-style fire-making method was Xu Yi's ultimate goal.

The Iroquois tools for fire-making required a brick shaft with two ropes wound around one end and the other end of the rope attached to a rigid transverse plate. In the middle of the drill shaft, an accelerator is made of a wooden wheel with a certain weight. Start to rotate the drill shaft first, the rope will automatically wrap up, and then press down on the transverse plate, due to inertia, the rope will be wound around the drill shaft in the opposite direction, and then press the transverse plate up and down repeatedly. This method is highly efficient and can be reused.

After all, in the wilderness, there are no flints and steels, and there are no fire folds.

Therefore, some teams have selected matches 10,000 times.

However, to make this Iroquois-style fire-making tool, you first had to make a wooden wheel. Therefore, Xu Yi will first make a simple fire-making bow, that is, drill holes for the wooden wheel, and see if he can get fire by the way.

Xu Yi sawed a small tree with the thickness of his arm, then took a 2-centimeter-thick wooden wheel and began to drill a hole in the middle, making a fire by the way.

After drilling for more than ten minutes, it began to smoke, and Xu Yi hurriedly put the dried moss on it.

I kept pulling the bow, and the smoke got bigger and bigger.

In the live broadcast room, it also began to be lively.

Everyone is speculating whether Xu Yi can get the fire out smoothly.

You know, wilderness survival fire is essential. Not only can you keep warm, boil water, but sometimes you can defend yourself against the attacks of wild beasts.
