Chapter 181: City, Better Life!
After Chen Fan finished picking the fruit, he looked at the bright weather again, and simply bulldozed a plane in front of the wide beach, and then used a branch to draw it up.
"Fanye, what are you doing?"
"I felt like I was doing sand painting. ”
"Sand painting, how do I feel like I'm practicing calligraphy? Don't you see those two water characters?"
"No, no, this is a schematic diagram of the island that the anchor is making, you see, did he also mark the height and shape of the mountain, isn't this just a gourd shape?"
Chen Fan glanced at the barrage of discussions, and smiled:
"It seems that someone really saw my purpose, yes, I was indeed making a schematic diagram, according to my previous outline on the mountain, combined with the information I saw, this island is the shape I have drawn so far, spindle-shaped, and it can also be seen as a gourd.
We're in the southwest of it, on the windward side, with a lot of rain and a lot of soil, and some to the northeast, which I expect will pass in a few days, and it's a tropical snake distribution area, and there should be some cacti, lizards, and turtle spawning areas.
From my driver's observation, there are two small streams on the south side, so I have abundant freshwater resources, and bananas, coconuts, and the goats that will be rounded up next are one of my sources of food.
In addition, in order to increase the safety of surviving on a desert island, I am going to start preparing for the last and most difficult departure from the island, because I have no contact with the outside world, and I want to leave this place finally through my own means. ”
Chen Fan said that his methods include lighting fires and cigarettes to attract fishing boats passing nearby, and also launching SOS search and rescue flares at night like in the sea area on duty.
After all, I mainly came to experience the desert island fire, not really trapped on a desert island.
Of course, in the end, none of this will work, and he will have to learn the fantasy journey of Pi, and by making a raft and inflating his own raft, he will get closer to the island step by step.
He calculated that as long as there was no typhoon, there was still a high probability that he would row a raft and return to the island 500 nautical miles away with the help of the current ocean current.
Who made his drone have a positioning function! Chen Fan can now do it anytime and anywhere in the world, without worrying about losing his way.
Therefore, the rest of the sea is left, and he only needs to conserve his strength and head towards his destination.
"Yes, and sharks. ”
Thinking of this, Chen Fan got up, took the dagger and the kettle, and walked towards the edge of the beach, where there was a reef.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the first day of survival on a desert island has begun at this moment, and now I am going to use the most primitive methods of our human beings to find my food today, such as the starfish that I can eat, including the most common oysters, that is, oysters.
If you've ever been to the beach, you know that oysters and seaweed are the most ubiquitous, so I'm not worried about a food crisis at all. ”
"The anchor, you say so, this island is so big, and there is fresh water, it stands to reason that there should be fishermen living there, how can it become a desert island?"
"Yes, it's not scientific at all, aren't there a lot of fishermen in our country in the South China Sea? They might as well live directly on the island, how cool it would be. ”
When Chen Fan saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head: "What you said is right, it stands to reason that in such an environment, it is completely fine to live in a few fishermen and one or twenty people, but why, no one lives there!"
It has to do with its geographical location.
This continent island, just in the western Pacific Ocean and the eastern Indian Ocean confluence area, a large number of ocean currents hedging every year, although the fishery resources are abundant, but because of this, at the same time, the rainfall here is also amazing, especially thunderstorms, plus typhoons, fishermen who come here can only stay for a short time, fishing for a few days, if you want to live for a long time, sooner or later something will happen. “
Although Chen Fan said that on a small desert island, the chance of being struck by lightning is relatively small, but if you live for a long time, even if it is small, once in decades, it will not be able to withstand it.
"Also, and more importantly, now in our country, the welfare of citizens is getting better and better, even if you are a fisherman, you still need to contact with the society, children have to go to school, the elderly have to be hospitalized for medical care, and it is not realistic to live on an island.
Isn't there a slogan that says it? City, make life better!
Therefore, even in order to better enjoy the treatment of social citizens, the fishermen have returned to the island, even if they live next to the sea to pick up the boat, as a Tan family, it is much better than living on a desert island hundreds of nautical miles away. “
While Chen Fan was speaking, he had already come to the edge of a reef at this time.
Suddenly, he noticed a problem because his feet were scratched, and this was when he was alerted.
"Damn, I almost forgot to tell you that on the edge of the beach reef, you must pay attention to all kinds of creatures that cling to the rock walls, including conch, oysters, all kinds of seaweed, as well as corals, gooseneck barnacles, and other destructive species that are ubiquitous in the ocean.
When you come to the beach to play, even if it is to take wedding photos, you should try to wear a pair of shoes, not socks.
Just now, I was cut by a dead oyster shell, and it hurts. ”
He exposed the soles of his feet and said to the audience, but it wasn't really serious.
"Also, there are traces of sharks in this sea area, or all the middle and low sea areas, although there are no large shark activities in our country, but there are still small sharks from more than ten catties to dozens of catties.
What they all have in common is that they are aggressive, have sharp teeth, and grow throughout their lives. I was scratched, and if there were sharks nearby, it would be no small trouble.
Chen Fan said, and began to use its kettle as a storage basket.
Because this kettle is a jar, the opening is large, and a whole whole oyster can be placed inside.
And Chen Fan was also lucky, just after a simple search, he found several large oysters.
"You see, is it the same as I said, this is densely packed with oysters and scallops, and abalone, but most of the varieties of oysters do not grow big, and only a few can grow into the market, and become the new seafood that fishermen are now competing to find. ”
In fact, if you want to say that oysters are booming, in today's China, they will not be popular for more than ten years.
Until then, oysters were served as a casual lunch for fishermen by the sea.
It was only later that with the rise of the national economy, some lifestyles such as barbecue and supper rose, which everyone fueled the fire, as well as the support of modern and rapidly developed logistics, and the rise of cold supply chain in the world.
