Chapter 192: Make a Boat!
As soon as Han Lingshuang came back, she was drying her favorite red dates, these slightly dry and wrinkled red dates lost a little water, and they didn't taste very good.
Although it has been dried at high temperatures, it tastes a little dry and flat after removing excess water, at least it is better than the current state.
Wu Yicai was thinking about how to make a boat in his mind, but Wangcai seemed to be particularly lacking in love, and he had been leaning towards him.
It's been a long time since I've hugged Wangcai affectionately, and although there is a pungent smell on this product, Wu Yicai still hugged Wangcai very righteously and stroked its thick hair.
"I've ignored you all this time...... I'm sorry!"
After appeasing the empty Wangcai for a while, this product enjoyed Wu Yicai's massage, as if it was enough, and lay there and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
"How are you going to make a boat?" Han Lingshuang dried the big wrinkled red dates, and chewed the tender red dates in his mouth.
"I've seen a video before, and some survivors have explained the making of the ship!" Wu Yicai searched for the memories in his mind and recalled a documentary.
"How?"
"Burn with fire!"
A sturdy wooden boat is the best for a whole whole, and the thickest diameter of this log is about three meters in diameter and 6 meters in length.
The whole trunk is a gently inclined cone, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, so that the thin end can be used as the bow and the thick end as the stern.
This design can penetrate the water surface well in the water, reduce the resistance of the water flow as much as possible, and allow the boat to move quickly on the sea.
Wu Yicai's plan was to cut off part of the three-meter-diameter log, leaving only about 1.5 meters at the bottom, leaving a thickness of 20 centimeters at the bottom, which can fully withstand seawater erosion and erosion, and the height from the bottom to the ship is 1.3 meters.
Because the log is cone-shaped, the thinnest part is 2 meters, and then it needs to be cut in half, the bow position is 1 meter, and then the bottom of the boat is kept 20 centimeters, that is, the depth of the bow is about 80 centimeters.
Wu Yicai's general idea is like this, and he also painted a drawing on the land, and Wu Yicai thought that he could learn the mechanical drawing in the technical school, and the hull was basically drawn into a three-dimensional.
They are, top view, main view, left view......
"I can generally see that this is a ship, but I can't read the size you drew directly......" Han Lingshuang was very depressed, the drawings drawn by this cargo looked very profound, and the three drawings could be connected to form a whole, but the numbers marked on it made her head big for a while.
As a lathe, size is very important, reasonable size matching, forming a complex and profound parts, and parts and accessories, are consistent.
"It's okay, just follow my instructions, it's not that hard to make a boat. "With the drawings, you can make a boat with peace of mind, but now you need a ruler.
To make any tool, you need a ruler with accurate precision, this is the case for machining, and the same is true for carpenters, there are no ready-made tools on a desert island, and you have to make your own ruler.
Wu Yicai is going to make a bamboo ruler, and he made one last time, but he couldn't find it after the tsunami, but this ruler is directly difficult for Wu Yicai, and he can be accurate to 0.1mm (mm) for the size with his eyes.
I had the experience of the last time, and I quickly made a bamboo ruler, this time the length was about two meters, of course, Wu Yicai measured it with that thing, and the length was 14.86 centimeters.
And Han Lingshuang is a black line at one end, this thing actually took out that one in front of him, and then played with it casually and it became bigger.
"It's all old husbands and wives, don't care about these details. Wu Yicai smiled very naturally, and then put it up, "Okay, let's start making the boat!"
Wu Yicai used black charcoal as a pen, measured with a bamboo ruler and then drew some lines, although the scratches drawn by the charcoal were not very clear, at least they could be seen.
After the general drawing is completed, I am ready to use a saw to cut out a part of the useless wood, start sawing at the top end of the log, then cut to the line position, cut a section vertically, cut a section horizontally, and slowly make a semicircle of the hull.
"Next, we burn the boat along this line with charcoal fire, which can not only make the boat quickly, but also dry the excess water inside, reduce the weight of the wood, and increase the overall hardness. Wu Yicai is drawing black lines with a ruler, and the size left on the edge of the boat is also about 20 centimeters.
Moving the charcoal fire over and placing it on the wood to slowly grill it and using the fire to burn a boat is easier and safer than using a knife or chisel to chisel it, and too much force can cause cracks in the wood.
This kind of thick and thin hard wood is not easy to find, if this ship is broken, it will be troublesome, there is no other substitute, this boat, on the whole, is not bad.
This is also a relatively safe and practical hull shape, the thickness of the bottom of the boat is moderate, and the space inside the boat is large enough, the only thing to worry about is the buoyancy, the buoyancy of the boat determines how many items can be carried.
If a devastating disaster such as a volcanic eruption does occur, it is necessary to evacuate the desert island as soon as possible, drift on the vast sea, and most importantly fresh water and food.
These materials are testing the load of the ship, if the load-bearing capacity is poor, it means that there are fewer materials to carry, and if the load-bearing capacity is strong, there are more materials to carry.
It is a very time-consuming task to burn a ship with charcoal, and it takes a long time for the ship to be burned, and now the right thing to do is to look for more food, preferably a little more, so much that it is impossible to eat.
"Let's go and see if there's a harvest in the sea!" Han Lingshuang pursed her cherry mouth, "I really want to eat sea fish, I want to eat big crabs, big lobsters!"
Wu Yicai also misses the taste of sea fish, although he ate piranhas and arapaima a while ago, but the gap between freshwater fish and sea fish is obvious.
......
The traps on the beach were still empty, there was nothing, and there were a few sporadic sardines in the nets, but it seemed that the Komodo dragon's internal organs were broken, and a few sardines died inside.
"Hey, it's a disappointment, nothing to gain. Han Lingshuang was a little crazy, for a foodie, what is more cruel than not being able to eat delicious food.
"We still have some stock in the lake, why don't I make you a pineapple shrimp?" There are also some river shrimp in the barrel in the lake, and there is also a green pineapple in the shelter, which is obviously not ripe, but after high-temperature processing, it is equivalent to cooking, making pineapple shrimp, killing two birds with one stone.
"Okay, okay!" Han Lingshuang clapped her hands and said happily, "Pineapple shrimp, this is absolutely delicious." ”
"You snack ......" Wu Yicai doted on the lively and lovely little girl, and an indescribable feeling rose in his heart.
It's happiness!
