Chapter 205: Methods of Obtaining Fresh Water
.. , the rules of survival on a desert island
Water is the backbone of any living organism, and without it, life will soon dry up.
Now that it has been attacked by the huge king squid, the fresh water that was originally abundant is gone, and all that is left is the fresh water in the cabin that submerged the soles of the feet.
Wu Yicai stood at the stern of the boat and looked back, the sea was pitch black, and there was no object to be seen at all, only bamboo fragments floating around the hull.
The ang box should have been broken, and all the fresh water inside was gone, Wu Yicai had experimented with the sturdiness of the ang box, and the lapping of the waves did not cause any damage to it.
However, the scuffle between the two giants destroyed the ang box containing the source of life, and judging by the degree of destruction, it is very likely that it is the masterpiece of the king squid.
It is very likely that the king squid is devouring a sperm whale, or another whale, or of course, another stronger king squid.
This group of greedy sea monsters eats almost everything, including their own kind, and they also have a cannibalistic habit.
Luckily, neither of them was hurt, and Wangcai was yelling at the tentacles in the cabin that were still trembling slightly.
The tentacle had been severed, and the nerve cells in its body were still causing it to squirm, and now the disgusting tentacle was no longer a threat, but this encounter was really thrilling.
From the nervous tension that was about to break, Dao suddenly relaxed, and both of them collapsed weakly in the boat, the strength of their whole bodies seemed to be drained, and their arms and legs were trembling unconsciously.
The water in the cabin was about two fingers deep, and the cool spring water soaked my pants, and I felt cold and uncomfortable sitting in the boat.
"This damn squid!" Wu Yicai cursed viciously, and then stared at the water in the cabin a little helplessly, "We only have this fresh water left." ”
The cabin was filled with fresh water, which flowed from the bottles in which it was stored, and which had been torn apart by the damned king squid.
There are still a few surviving bottles that have not been scratched, and they are still filled with water, and the fresh water in the boat has lost a lot, about 7 percent.
"We have to collect this fresh water as soon as possible, it's the only fresh water we have left. Wu Yicai used a bamboo tube to scoop the stagnant water in the cabin, and he must collect the fresh water as soon as possible.
There were a few empty bottles in the cabin, which were poured out of the drinking water, just enough to be used to fill water, and the water in the cabin was much larger than the water storage container, and the bottles that originally filled the water were also broken a lot.
In some cases, dignity is really cheap, Han Lingshuang sucked the stagnant water with a mosquito net, and then screwed close to the bottle, these originally clear fresh water was very turbid, and there was even a little floating matter in it.
After a busy time, the fresh water is basically collected, most of the containers for water have openings, the water can only be filled to the cracks, and can only be placed upright, not tilted, once the bottle is poured, the fresh water will flow out along the opening.
The bright moon was obscured by dark clouds, and the night sky, which was originally slightly bright, suddenly became dim, and Wu Yicai sat on the bow of the boat, blowing the cold sea breeze, and there was a trace of depression in his heart.
The pitch-black sea water was undulating, the waves were surging, and it made a very terrifying sound, and he had just experienced a sea monster attack of that level, and Wu Yicai was still a little undecided.
You always feel something lurking in the sea, and maybe the next second that guy will climb onto the boat and eat everyone on board.
Wu Yi knew that this was fear and psychology, it was just that he was scaring himself, even if reason told him, the darkness and fear in his heart would still be excavated.
"What are you thinking?" Han Lingshuang sat down close to Wu Yicai, who was in a daze alone, and there was a quiet fragrance in the air, which was the unique body fragrance on her body.
"Nothing. Han Lingshuang's arrival relieved Wu Yicai's originally scared heart, and gently hugged the beauty into his arms, feeling the slippery softness, "I was scared just now, right?"
"Hmm!" Han Lingshuang nodded lightly, and brushed a messy strand of green silk with her slender jade hand, and pushed it behind her ear. "But with you with me, I won't be too scared. ”
The two leaned on tightly, and Wangcai also leaned over slowly, lying in front of the two, just now this guy was also frightened, it was always the first to find those creatures with great threats, and then sounded the alarm.
Now the materials on the small boat have suffered heavy losses, and some iron tools have lost a lot, all of which are the two sea monster-level creatures fighting just now, implicating the small boat, throwing the whole boat high, and many items have fallen into the sea.
It includes a large amount of slices of meat, an iron pot, and a lot of water, and now the inventory of the two can be described as poor and white, and there is hardly much left.
In fact, the cause of this incident was because of the basket trap in the water, and the trap in the sea was brought up, and sure enough, it was found that the basket was gone.
The two ropes were torn apart, and this rope is the rope used on the parachute, which is enough to withstand 200 catties of gravity.
This big guy's strength is really great, and he can directly tear off this strong rope.
"Our biggest dilemma right now is freshwater resources, and we have to find a way to collect more fresh water. Wu Yicai hugged Han Lingshuang's delicate body, and now if he wants to live, he has to find a way to get fresh water.
"How do you get fresh water at sea?" Han Lingshuang basically has zero experience in surviving in the wilderness, but Wu Yicai knows a lot.
Wu Yicai has a set of theories that are very strong, and when this product encounters a problem, he will always come up with a solution in a short time, and then use practice to prove the feasibility of the theory.
"There is a trace of moisture in the current sea breeze, these are fresh water, and the moisture will condense on it when it encounters non-breathable things, and this non-breathable substance can be used to help us collect fresh water. Wu Yicai stretched out his hands and felt a hint of coolness brought by the wind.
And the best tool is the sail, which is impermeable, has a large piece, and is set up in a triangular shape.
The moisture from the wind adheres to the sails and then gradually condenses into droplets of water that slowly drip down the sails.
Wu Yicai deliberately touched a sail, and it was really wet on it, and these were all the humidity in the air.
During the day, the sea water is evaporated by the sun and turned into water vapor, which rises to the sky, and at night the temperature becomes lower and falls from the sky, and then is driven by the wind and blocked by the huge sails.
There are a little droplets of water under the sail, this is all the water caught by the sail, Wu Yicai cut the worn-out bottle in half and put it under the sail, and there will definitely be a little water tomorrow, it is very sure that these are fresh water!
