Chapter 197: Early Warning Flower
.., the rules of survival on a desert island
Time flies, and before you know it, a week has passed, and the ship is finally fired, and burning the ship is really a fine job, which can only be done during the day when you are at home, and at night you really dare not let the charcoal burn on the hull.
Although most of the time the dry wood is placed in the fire and then burned into charcoal, and then this burning charcoal is placed on the hull of the ship, and this continuous burning charcoal is burned on the ship for a short time.
The hull will basically not be lit by charcoal, it can only be slowly blackened and carbonized, and it will burn slowly, but once it leaves the trivial burning charcoal, the hull that was originally burning slowly will be extinguished immediately.
It's a lot of hard work, you have to keep burning the wood into charcoal, and then moving the charcoal to the top of the hull, and you have to carefully control the position of the charcoal, if it is offset, the hull may burn through.
It seems that there is no such giant tree as it is on the desert island, which means that if the ship fails to be fired, then it will have to find another way to make a boat, and it is now very certain that there will be no second tree with a diameter of more than three meters.
Combined with the above factors, Wu Yicai could only stand aside and burn the boat, which lasted seven days, and finally made the boat, and Wu Yicai was repairing.
The bony tongue of the arapaima is a good thing, and it is very useful to use as a file, Wu Yicai and Han Lingshuang squatted in the hull of the ship, polishing the black charcoal ash in the hull with a file.
These charcoal ashes are easy to break, and a lot of black charcoal powder can be wiped off with a random file, and the carbonized wood attached to it needs to be filed clean to reveal the red and white wood.
"It's finally done!" Han Lingshuang moved her sore arm and twisted her slender and white neck, "Do you need to test the water later?" ”
After the hull was finished, the weight of the whole ship became a lot lighter, because it was fired at high temperatures, most of the water in the wooden boat was evaporated, and now the hardness of the hull has increased a lot.
"Don't worry, now we have to make a waterproof hull, and we have to make a sail, and then we can try it out at sea after we get it ready." Wu Yicai's heart had already planned, and he had prepared a large number of waterproof materials a long time ago, and now he can go and retrieve them.
The waterproofing of wooden boats must be done well, the sea water in the sea contains extremely high salinity, and iron boats will be rotten, not to mention wooden boats......
And the boat also needs to be placed in the shelter for a while, the air in this forest is extremely humid, the wood is easily infected by this damp smell, too humid wood will breed a lot of bacteria, and even insects, they will destroy the hull.
Therefore, the wooden boat must be waterproof, and the waterproof material prepared by Wu Yicai is on the top of the mountain, and it is a very practical material extracted from plants.
"Waterproof?" Han Lingshuang was very puzzled, tilting her little head and gently blinking her clear autumn water eyes, "What do you need to do to make the boat waterproof?" Haven't we been burning ships? The moisture in it has been dried, right? ”
"High-temperature firing can indeed dry the moisture inside, but the moisture from the outside will still invade along the texture of the wood." Wu Yicai patiently explained, "What we have to do is to protect this boat so that it can be used for a longer period of time." ”
It was not easy to make this boat, for seven days, I had been burning charcoal, and then moved to the hull, and I had to look at the charcoal, so as not to burn the boat, and when the charcoal burned slowly, I used a blowing stick made of bamboo to blow the fire bigger.
Wu Yicai broke the time and could understand the feeling of blowing to the brain and choking on tears, which was really a big torment, but all this effort was rewarded, because a very successful boat was made!
After discussion, the two of them and a dog headed for the top of the mountain again, this time to collect pine resin, the last time they explored the top of the mountain, they passed by the pine trees, and cut a lot of pine trees, and now it is estimated that those pine trees should flow a lot of pine resin.
Climbing up the steep slope again, the dilapidated plane was right in front of me, and there were still a lot of iron tools in it, but now the weapons and tools were sufficient, and there was no need to deliberately collect these iron tools.
I didn't find the damn Komodo dragons along the way, it seems that there are a lot fewer of these guys, and I haven't heard a wolf howl in this time, it seems that those predators have been sanctioned.
"Wow, there's so much pine resin here!" Han Lingshuang picked up a large lump of pine resin, this translucent golden yellow crystal block was very beautiful, and there were some pores in it.
"Well, there's a lot more than expected." Wu Yicai was also very satisfied with the amount of pine resin obtained, and he had cut the wound of the pine tree before.
Pine trees have the ability to heal themselves, and the larger the wound is cut, the more pine resin will be secreted.
After collecting the pine resin, the two of them were not hanging out, and this time they harvested a lot of pine resin, accumulating at least 12 catties together, which can completely smear the entire ship.
"This pine resin is so beautiful, and the big spider inside is even more beautiful." Han Lingshuang was holding a piece of amber trapped in insects, very excited.
That's right!
It's the insect amber, it seems that a spider accidentally walked to the place where the pine resin flowed, and then was wrapped in pine resin without accident, this thing obviously wanted to escape, and the white silk threads in the amber were the traces of its struggle in the pine resin.
But in the end, this poor spider was still made into natural amber, in fact, this should belong to man-made, of course, none of this is important, the important thing is that this spider is colorful and beautiful, and Han Lingshuang also likes it.
It seems that there is nothing in this world that looks at it every day, this girl who is like an angel smiles at herself, and she is comfortable.
She smiled really beautifully, and the glacier would melt into pure beauty......
Walking on the gravel road, there were some beautiful little flowers growing at the foot of the volcano not far away, most of them red.
"Hey, why does this flower look so familiar?" Han Lingshuang was very surprised that flowers would grow here, and it seemed that she had seen it somewhere.
It was really strange that flowers suddenly sprouted from the barren sandy earth, and that they were so beautiful in such a harsh environment, and that they looked very much like moon flowers.
"What the hell is this? Why is it so much like a moon flower? Wu Yicai didn't know this kind of flower, but he always felt that this sudden flower was very unusual.
"I remember, this flower is in Indonesia, one of my family's industries, and it is a kind of early warning flower!" Han Lingshuang's face was terrified.
