Chapter 24: Preparing to Go to Sea
After pouring the deer blood into the turtle eggshell and boiling it with salt, and washing the internal organs of the deer and cutting it into pieces and putting it into another turtle eggshell and boiling it with water, Ansu broke the deer into several pieces, and the ribs of the two large fans were smeared with salt racks and slowly roasted on the fire, and the meat of the neck, chest and a whole leg were cut into strips and buried in the ground according to the original method. After processing www.biquge.info the meat, Ansu made a square wooden frame, stretched the deerskin on it, fixed it with a rope, and then carefully scraped the fat or remaining pieces of minced meat on it with a saber little by little. Deer skins must be nitrated for a long time, and the easiest way is to use their brains. Ansu stirred the deer's brain pulp into a paste in warm water, then spread it evenly on the hairless side, and let it dry in the sun, and after a day, she would have a complete deer skin.
At night, the camp was bright, and several fires were blazing, almost half of the sky was red, and the venison was roasted on the fire, and the smell of meat was constantly wafting, attracting the surrounding carnivores. Little Naga drooled, so he had to gnaw wild sweet potatoes while staring at the barbecue with his eyes shining.
It's a pity that Ansu doesn't eat barbecue tonight, but the offal and deer blood are so delicious that they almost make people eat their tongues. Little Naga ate with a round stomach and lay on the ground humming.
The fire burned in the camp almost all night, and by dawn the steaming roast venison was freshly baked, shiny, crispy and fragrant. Ansu put the roasted venison in a container that could be filled, but he couldn't finish it, so he had to put some of it on the ground covered with leaves, and the whole shed was full of meat. Two more sheds will have to be built, Ansu thought, one for food and one for firewood. Since then, she doesn't have to worry about food, fresh water and firewood every day, and her basic survival has been guaranteed.
Life is slowly getting on track, and Ansu knows it's time to get ready to go to sea. Ansu will not indulge in a comfortable life, stop moving, and die alone on a desert island. She was going to move forward, forward, forward, and even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she would not give up looking for her teammates, giving up on finding the person she respected as a father. Riding the wind and waves, overcoming obstacles, nothing can stop me from coming to you. The oath of the day will be fulfilled in this life!
Wearetogether,aliveordead!
Together, live or die!
Smoke rose from the cliff, and Ansu added a handful of green branches to the fire, making the column of smoke even bigger. Ansu has been making this kind of fireworks signal on the cliff for some time, and she makes a fireworks signal on the cliff every few days. On the ground, make wooden sticks with freshly cut branches, use some new wood sticks to make a base, put some dry moss, grass and other flammable materials to form a heavy fire point, and then use a pair of new wood sticks to alternately row at right angles around the fire point and stack them layer by layer, like a small tower, pile green plants on the tower, and a simple fireworks signal is completed. When a pyrotechnic signal is ignited, a thick column of smoke is generated. If there are teammates stranded on the surrounding islands, they will definitely see it.
An Su quietly waited for the fireworks signal to finish burning, and stayed on the cliff for a while before silently turning around and leaving.
The turquoise bay ripples in the sea breeze, and the rattan leaves of the golden bamboo gently sway and rustle. A hermit crab crawls onto the beach with a white shell on top of it, looking around curiously.
Boom--
A tree smashed down from above, crushing a clump of golden bamboo, and then a figure jumped down from it and landed steadily beside the trunk of the tree across the beach, and Ansu used a rope as a ruler to measure the length and circumference of the trunk. Ansu plans to make a raft to go to sea, and there are not so many tools to make a boat. The place that Ansu chooses to go to sea is first of all a bay where you can shelter from the wind, and everyone knows that it is not suitable to go to sea in places where the wind and waves are high. Then we looked around to see if there were any suitable trees for rafts, if not, it would take a lot of effort to transport them from other places, and it was said that Ansu did not have any tools to transport wood over long distances. Finally, consider the currents and wind direction, which must be smooth to sail safely and quickly. The only suitable one was the place where little Naga was found. The bay is calm and there are not many reefs in the sea, so you can easily paddle into the water after the raft is built.
Since its birth, ships have undergone a long evolutionary process, from the simplest rafts and canoes to complex spaceships, from the water to the universe. As the captain of a spaceship, Ansu has a certain amount of research on all kinds of ships. To go to sea, you must have a well-equipped ship. What's more, even if human beings are well prepared in the Age of Discovery, sometimes they can't withstand the wind and waves at sea, and unfortunately die at the bottom of the sea.
But now Ansu has no tools, no manpower, and even a simple wooden dhow like the Age of Discovery, which is almost impossible. After weighing the pros and cons of all aspects, Ansu decided to make a raft first. It's still relatively easy to put some wood and tie it up in a row. The difficulty is how to cut down a tree about 30 centimeters in diameter and about 20 meters high without large cutting tools. Ansu placed the saber on the tree, then struck the back of the knife with a wooden stick, inserted it and then pulled it out, moved the knife about 15 mm away from the first incision, and tilted the blade 45 degrees with the blade facing the first incision. Repeat this until you make a V-shaped cut on one side of the trunk. The incision is deepened around the tree, and as the incision grows, the tree breaks due to its weight. It took Ansu three days to bring down such a tree. Of course, Ansu doesn't cut here all day, but only comes here for two or three hours after each hunt. Hunting is more important than building a raft, and without a food source, Ansu would not have the physical strength to cut down trees to make a raft.
When a large tree falls, it falls from the high ground to the bay below. Ansu started at the base of the tree and cut off the broken branches along the trunk, and she only needed the trunk. This 20-meter-long trunk can be made into six 3-meter-long segments, but if you cut them slowly with a knife, it will take time and effort. Ansu thought of using fire to burn it. In the past, when they were doing wilderness survival training, they had seen an ancient tribe in a place called the Amazon where fire burned wood to build houses. They will use the place with a thick layer of wet mud, and put the place to be removed on the fire to burn, so that the burned part is burned into a layer of charcoal, whether it is cut or chopped, it will be easy.
