Chapter 198: Urgent Action
.., the rules of survival on a desert island
"Damn, eldest sister, can you not be scary, what kind of flower is this? What does that so-called early warning mean? Wu Yicai felt that this flower was extraordinary from the first time he saw it.
Because in this place he clearly remembered that there were no flowers growing nearby, and there were no plants, that is, the flowers had only grown after the volcano had awakened.
And the warning that Han Lingshuang said seems to have something to do with this volcano, is it ......
"This kind of flower has appeared in the villa of one of my family's industries......" Han Lingshuang was interrupted by Wu Yicai before he finished speaking.
"I'll go, it's the villa again...... It's good to be rich. Wu Yicai smacked his lips, shook his head and sighed.
"Don't interrupt your stinky dick!" Han Lingshuang crossed her hands on her hips, stretched out a finger very seriously, and tapped Wu Yicai's shoulder, "The place where the villa is located is a volcano, every day before a volcano erupts, this kind of flower will bloom, and I am very sure that the flower here is the kind of magical flower that will warn of volcanic eruptions in advance!" ”
Wu Yicai saw that Han Lingshuang's little girl was not joking, although this girl had a lot of nerves and didn't know many things, but she still knew a lot about special plants, and these weird flowers might be an early warning from nature.
"Then we have to speed up the pace, strive to get the ship done today, and then go to sea to test it." Wu Yicai also knows the priority of the matter, the ship is basically completed now, and it only needs to apply waterproof materials and then install the sails.
Fortunately, I have been refusing to stop making a boat at home during this time, and now it is just finished, otherwise I would have encountered a large-scale volcanic eruption without a boat, and maybe I would have to explain it here this time.
......
When you come to the shelter, you squat on the fire and melt the pine resin, which contains a lot of oil and is a gel resin with strong adhesive properties.
Under the processing of the fire, the pine resin gradually turned into a viscous liquid, and the air was filled with a very fragrant smell, and the whole pot of pine resin was boiling, like boiling water.
Wu Yicai brushed the pine resin with a small brush, so that these liquid gels with strong waterproof properties were attached to the hull, this small brush was made by Wu Yicai, and the material was wolf hair, which is said to be the material used to make wolf hair brushes. It is even easier to use as a brush.
The inside and outside of the hull have been painted with a large layer, this smell is very pungent, Wangcai's sense of smell is the most sensitive, this cargo can't stand it directly, and they are sneezing vigorously.
Pine resin is basically all used up, only a small part is left, about 1 catty, pine resin is a very good material, must be stored some, in case of future sailing career to take on emergencies.
The hull is completely coated with pine resin, especially the bottom, where the pine resin accumulation is particularly thick, because the hull is floating on the sea, and the sea water is extremely salinous and can corrode everything, although the pine resin will also be slowly corroded over time.
But the thicker the smear, the slower the corrosion will be, and both of them hope to meet the ship on the sea and be rescued, after all, wandering on the vast sea is a person who will feel hopeless.
The pine resin on the boat has basically dried out, and it is time to make a sail, and in the center of the hull, Wu Yicai deliberately made a small raised hole, with a diameter of 10 centimeters and a depth of 20 centimeters, and this bulge is 20 centimeters higher than the bottom of the cabin.
The sail was just enough to be inserted into it, and the mast of the sail was replaced by the same straight trunk found last time, which was solid and unusually strong, and was the best way to make a mast.
The sails are made of parachutes, a material that is not breathable and has obvious patterns on it, making it easy to spot when sailing on the sea, which will greatly increase the chances of being rescued.
With the cooperation of the two men, the sail was ready, and it was made into a huge triangular sail, with a long side fixed to the mast, and then tied with rope and tied to the bow.
This kind of sail can be changed at will to capture the wind in all directions, and Wu Yicai only made it based on his own impressions and thoughts, and he didn't know how unsuccessful it was.
Pushing the boat into the water, I found that the buoyancy was not good, and the stability was very strong, but there was no wind, and it was basically not much propulsion, but the waves that followed the waves were always pulling the hull back.
But Wu Yicai tragically found that the edge of the boat seemed to be too high, with a depth of 1.2 meters, and it was impossible to paddle while sitting in it, and it was also difficult to stand up and row.
This is a bit embarrassing, after all, Wu Yicai only took into account the safety issue, and didn't think about the practical aspect at all, but it doesn't matter, as long as there is a saw, it can be safely transformed.
After a little rough examination of the general condition of the hull, no holes were found except that the edge of the boat was too high, and the two were dragged back to shore by the waves.
Because of the appearance of those early warning flowers, Wu Yicai wanted to escape here even more, and tested the stability of the ship, and the two collected all the bottles in the shelter and prepared to fill them with fresh water.
Bottles were filled with mountain spring water, which was pure, sweet and delicious, and did not need to be purified, but the ship could not carry the weight of the water.
Wandering on the sea, as long as you have tools, you can get food, the fish in the sea are very abundant, and there are large hooks made of iron in the shelter, as well as metal fishing lines, you can fish, you can also use baskets to basket fish.
Moreover, a lot of fish and snake meat were obtained a while ago, and now they have been dried into jerky, and these foods are easy to preserve, and may be the main food at sea in the future, so the most scarce thing at sea is fresh water resources.
However, the two of them irrigated a lot of fresh water, adding up to at least a few hundred liters, and it was this fresh water, Wu Yicai was too little, because in the vast sea, you never know when you will be rescued and when you will reach land.
Now there is a problem, the weight of the ship is limited, this water can be loaded with half of it at most, and the rest should be discarded?
No!
How can these eaux-de-vie be discarded at will, and whatever they say, they must be taken away.
The large amount of foam in the shelter gave Wu Yi the inspiration, maybe he could make a container, put a large amount of fresh water in the container, and the salinity of the sea water is very high, which will increase a little buoyancy, and the bottle filled with water will not sink in the sea, but on the contrary, it will float on the surface of the water.
To take this water away, you need to make a container that floats on the water!
