Chapter 338: Super Gold Ore!
"Let's save some water and drink ......"
The weather on this island, oh no, I should say that the weather these days is so abnormal. Obviously, it was still stormy two days ago, but today the sun is shining again. However, when you think about it inland, it seems that the weather in some provinces is also so changeable, and everyone has lost their skin.
Isn't it? God has the final say!
Take He Zilong's cognition as an example, when he was in his hometown in Hunan in the past, Hunan was an intermediate province that did not rely on the sea or extremely cold places. There are also often some months, today it rains, the next day the weather is fine, the third day is windy, the fourth day is rainy, and the fifth day is sunny. (Real)!
Look at the sky, He Zilong actually can't wait for some rain, because everyone doesn't have much fresh water in their hands.
As far as the convenience of the road is concerned, of course, it is good to have a sunny day, but it is also not a sunny day.
This is not inland, there is a lot of fresh water, the sea water cannot be drunk, and the more you drink, the thirstier you become. In an environment where there is only seawater around, drinking seawater will only make you thirstier until you are thirsty to death.
The salt content of seawater is usually more than three times that of human fluids, and if you drink seawater, it is absolutely impossible for the human body to "grab" water molecules. On the contrary, the already small amount of water in the human body will be absorbed by the high concentration of salt water entering the intestines, which will exacerbate the body's water shortage. Therefore, seawater cannot be drunk directly, and the more you drink, the thirstier you become.
As a hydration supplement, it is necessary to be close to the concentration of body fluids, which is about 5%. Seawater, on the other hand, is too salty to not only replenish body fluids after drinking, but also requires the body to release more water to dilute it so that it can be excreted through the kidneys.
In other words, when you are dying of thirst, it is okay to drink some seawater for the time being.
But if you drink it for a while, and continue to drink it until you die, it's really cool to death, because you will die.
On the islands, food is easy to find, but fresh water is hard to find. If a person doesn't eat, he may starve to death for half a month, (those who don't have the strength to kill other animals in the middle are not counted.) But if you don't drink water, you may lose your limbs in a day, and you will hang up in less than a week. If you have poor physical strength, you may hang up in less than a week!
After all, most of the body's components are made up of water. It's not just the advertising slogan that says, women are made of water, and men are also made of water.
"I'm X, these bugs are so hateful...... someone complained, accidentally letting the flying bugs bite them.
He Zilong took the time to look over, but there were a lot of small mosquitoes on the side of the grass next to this team member, densely packed, which was simply terrifying. It's a bit like how everyone usually looks like they are hovering there on a hot day, and suddenly there are circles of mosquitoes on their heads.
Suddenly, He Zilong seemed to think of something.
"I think I saw this kind of insect when I was a child, yes, not far from where they appeared, there must be a water source, we went in that direction first, everyone died of dry mouths, and filled empty water bottles with water......," He Zilong said.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their faces were happy. They all ran in that direction, and sure enough, they didn't go far.
Peeling aside the leaves and looking carefully, I soon found a low-lying place with a small amount of ponds, as deep as a calf, but the water quality is okay.
"The water in this temporary pond can be drunk, there is no need to worry about too many parasites and bacteria, there is just a big sun, you can put it in a bottle first, or put it in an open vessel and filter it, and let the sun bask in it is barely disinfected......" Li Dajun is a soldier, and he also thought of something.
He Zilong smiled and said nothing, Li Dawei's statement was similar to what the man who even ate insects casually said in the wilderness survival show he watched before he was reborn in later generations. It seems that the host said on TV at the time, the way to deal with temporary rainwater, this is it.
If it weren't for this kind of water, you would really have to heat it up and turn it into boiling water before you could drink it with confidence.
With water, the confidence of the people was multiplied.
Look at the map again, and listen to what the captive pirates have to say, their old escapes are not far away. Just go up another hill and you can get there. I can't help but be motivated!
As everyone crossed the last hill and looked at a cliff opposite, they couldn't help but feel shocked.
But in a cave at the other end, you can vaguely see some artificially built human structures built according to the cave from a distance. Because of the angle, the cave is never visible from the sea. It can only be seen from this side, which is a good hiding point for enemies on the sea.
Then, the beach is shallow, and the big ships can't get through. Could it be that those pirates use fishing boats, so that the enemies who can come over every time are at most the level of fishing boats, even if they are replaced by modern armed ships, because of the tonnage, I am afraid that the weapons will be limited.
There are several roads from here to there, some of which lead in the other direction, and only those who are familiar with the terrain can feel at ease. People who are not familiar with this place want to follow the past after they have retreated, which is basically half the effort, or even difficult to do.
Coupled with the setting over there, it is really a one-man pass, and it is difficult to open a hundred people, and as long as some observation points are set up, it is clear at a glance for the sea situation.
"It's really good that the pirates chose Lao Xing in this place, no wonder......" Everyone thought about each other and began to speed towards that side.
When it was almost there, it slowed down. Because I'm afraid, there are still pirates in the pirate's den. It wouldn't be good to give them an ambush!
However, after a long period of observation, and even some people were arranged to try to go over, they were not attacked. Most of the time there are no people in it, or there are not many people!
"You see, I'm a little worried, is it late...... See what this is?" saw that the captain was looking around, and found some gold coins that had fallen in one of the grass on a road that had to be passed.
Yes, real gold coins.
After comparing them, they came to the conclusion that "these are royal gold coins, perfect samples of coins of the time, made on behalf of the King of Spain by royal order, and mainly distributed for display." Some of them have also been salvaged on the American side, and the Western royal family has also publicly stated that they will be taken back to the National Fighting Gym. For salvage, the salvage will be offered twice the market price. ”
A storm in July 1715 caused 10 Spanish galleons bound for Spain from Havana, Cuba, to sink off the east coast of Florida off Vero Beach.
But few people know that there is still a branch of this fleet that sank when Asia also returned.
"The identity of the pirates allowed these people to get a small amount of gold coins from the shipwreck, but it was difficult to sell, and it is estimated that they have just obtained ......," someone said.
"I've found a couple of ...... in the grass over here," one of the crew shouted.
"I'm ...... too"
He Zilong looked around and found that many people had gained. I even saw that Mr. Zhao also found a few, but he didn't say anything and quietly put it in his arms. He Zilong didn't say anything, and what the crew found naturally would not be taken back, which was considered a personal bonus.
But unlike the other people's smiling faces, He Zilong's brows were deeply locked.
