Chapter 142: Uninhabited Island
Early the next morning, Wang Luo got up early and came to the airport, when the sky was about to dawn, Wang Luo and his entourage had arrived at their destination, and took a helicopter for nearly two hours of flight, Wang Luo and his entourage arrived at the destination of the trip, an uninhabited desert island of only 0.5 square kilometers.
The jungle here is dense, and the logistics team found the island through satellite maps, and then finally set the target here after determining that it is an uninhabited island.
The sound of the helicopter's propeller made people's ears ring, and the plane stopped steadily in the air about a dozen meters above the sea surface. Lu Ming said a few words to the camera as usual, and then jumped straight down.
In the face of an uninhabited island of only 0.5 square kilometers, there is no airborne landing under this law at all. The photographer jumped into the sea with Lu Ming, and the helicopter loaded with the equipment flew directly to the shore a nautical mile away, unloading all the luggage. The other helicopter lowered its sling, always following Lu Ming and the cameraman in case something suddenly happened in the sea.
About ten minutes later, Lu Ming and the cameraman finally landed safely, and the two helicopters landed for refueling before flying away.
"Speed can often save your life in this situation, but it can also hurt you. Unless there's something behind you that can kill you, it's all about distributing your physical energy wisely, no matter what the circumstances. I didn't want to die on this sea from cramps, so this time I was on the shore a little longer than ever. But I'm glad I didn't encounter marine animals like sharks. After going ashore, Lu Ming said to the camera.
"Okay, now all I need to do is light a fire and dry my clothes. After all, it's winter, and the sea temperature is below 10 degrees, so I don't want to get sick just like that. Lu Ming smiled, and then went to the shore to find some dry firewood.
However, it was not easy to find dry firewood on the shore, and it was even difficult to find a fire starter, and after looking around, Lu Ming had to give up this method for the time being.
"Unfortunately, I didn't find much dry firewood, this uninhabited island is only about 0.5 square kilometers in size, surrounded by the sea, and it is an isolated island, where the annual precipitation is more than 1,000 millimeters, so this is a small island that is often blistered in water.
There is a way to quickly know if the firewood can be lit. That is to break it, if you can hear a crisp popping sound, it means that you can light it, if not, you can only continue to look for it. Now I've found some firewood, but I'm not going to use it right now, I need to use it for rescue.
Luckily, I've found a natural haven that should help me withstand some of the wind blowing on the sea. Now I need to build a shelter here. ”
"One thing to keep in mind is that if you come to a desert island like this, it's best not to wander around, as it will cost you a lot of energy and water. It's hard to get much to replenish on this island because there is no fresh water here. The only thing you have to do is find a suitable place to shelter from the rain, and then go find a pile of firewood and some green foliage, and as soon as you spot a passing ship on the sea, you have to light them and get the boat's attention. Lu Ming tossed the dry firewood he had found earlier and some leaves on the beach, then turned to look for the materials he needed to build the shelter.
"There's no fresh water here, so there's no going to be big beasts, so the first thing you need to think about when you're building a shelter is whether the sea will flood the place at high tide. Waterproofing measures are an essential part, when building the roof, you must cover it from the bottom to the top, so that the rainwater will be left directly below, which is the same principle as a brick house, but the material is much more frugal. ”
Subsequently, Lu Ming found a few coconut trees not far away, and the coconut trees here have not been damaged by any man, so they grow very high, and it is not particularly easy to climb them.
Lu Ming climbed up smoothly again with the help of a pair of shoelaces, and only slowly came down after taking three coconuts on them.
At night, the wind suddenly blew on the sea, and the level was not high in the sea, about four or five. But this already poses a threat to Lu Ming's shelter. The rain kept coming into the shelter, and Lu Ming had to turn on the miniature camera to record the scene, and then laughed at himself about his own shelter.
The next morning, there were still no ships passing by, and Lu Ming couldn't bear it any longer, so Lu Ming lit the dry firewood he found yesterday. Because it was treated with moisture last night, the firewood was ignited quickly. Lu Ming dried his clothes first, and then went to find materials to make a raft to leave here.
"If you have enough firewood, you don't need to build a raft like me, you can keep the fire lit during the day and let it produce enough smoke. If the weather is good, the smoke can be seen within a few dozen nautical miles around, and you may be rescued. But I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to get out of here as soon as possible.
It's not easy to build a raft that can float on the sea for a long time, first you have to make sure that the wood can give you enough buoyancy, but also make sure that it doesn't flip over and can withstand the impact of the sea. So, I'm going to build a catamaran and hopefully it will give me enough stability. ”
Despite his bent desire to leave, Lu Ming showed enough patience when it came to building the raft. From dawn to dark, it took a busy day to build the raft.
Therefore, Lu Ming must stay here for an extra night, and at the same time observe the weather, if there is a strong wind, he must stop and continue to stay here, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to leave alive.
In the evening, Lu Ming caught a fish on the shore and had a full meal. Fortunately, it was not windy at night, and the next morning, Lu Ming used the principle of distillation to make half a pot of water, and then went to get a few coconut fruits, and then pushed the raft out of this uninhabited island.
The three-day and two-night trip was half shorter than the first episode, but it was more tiring than the first episode. Fortunately, the fishing boat had already arrived here, and after Wang Luo loaded all the equipment onto the fishing boat, the fishing boat followed Lu Ming's raft little by little.
I had been floating on the sea for most of the day, and at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, I still did not encounter a single passing ship. Wang Luo had no choice but to order the fishing boat to sail into the distance, and then asked Lu Ming to send a signal, pretending to encounter a fishing boat that happened to pass by, thus saving Lu Ming.
Although the show is a bit fake, Wang Luo also fully took into account the real situation, after dark, Wang Luo let Lu Ming go down to the sea on a raft, where he told the audience how to spend a night on the raft, and then continued to go to the sea to record a scene at dawn. Then the fishing boat went straight to its destination.
