Chapter 23 The Main Purpose of Going to the Next Island
The sun appeared again, and the sea was as calm as ever.
If the waters of the sea had been so calm, then Mars thought it would be a very good sign.
So in such a sunny day, the most suitable thing is to hunt.
Although I slept late last night, I added a lot of things.
So Mars feels that he has a lot of strength, and even his energy is rare to exceed 1.0.
In Mars's senses, these substituted foods, because of the addition of food additives, are stimulants for people in this world now.
So it's normal to have a lot of energy.
Although the island had been moved overnight, Lawrence felt that there would be a lot of food in the traps below the island.
Since the trap was set, it was a very labor-saving thing for the two fathers and sons who were surviving at sea.
"Mars, you stop the island first, and we'll get some food. ”
Lawrence said to his son, and Mars began to take control of the moving island to stop.
And at this time, the two of them dive together, and then go to the trap to catch their breakfast today.
The moving island is indeed getting bigger.
Mars has the impression that he will expand the moving island every day, so in the process of expansion, Mars knows that the underwater part of the moving island is also getting bigger.
There was a lot of food, and there were a lot of sea creatures trapped in these gabions that could only enter but not get out.
These were the foods of Mars and his father.
So the two of them have more flavors in their choice.
Of course, if you eat raw meat all the time, no matter how good the taste is, it will be enough.
However, in order to survive, Mars and his father at this moment will only think about how to eat enough, instead of thinking about enjoying the taste of food.
After a simple breakfast, Mars began to expand the mobile island.
There are more reefs that can be replaced today, at least more than the day before.
So Mars has been diving and then moving reefs.
Lawrence watched as his son was able to get more and more reefs ashore, and knew that his son's natural abilities were growing.
The original part of the water surface of the moving island was built in this way.
The position of the platform is in the southwest direction, while the stone house is in the northeast direction.
Now Mars has spliced more reefs around the platform and the stone house, which makes the moving island much larger.
"Father, you see, I've made this place the largest, do you want to put the tub on it?"
Mars made the platform large enough and put a guardrail on the perimeter of the platform so that even if he sat on it, he wouldn't slide down.
Of course, if you put the tub in it, it won't fall into the water.
"Mars, the tub needs to be very dry, so wait until you get some reefs tomorrow, put the tub in, and then cover the top of the tub with more reefs to make sure it's in a dry place. ”
Lawrence said as he gestured with his hand, and Mars understood what his father meant.
The pot needs to be dried and then sealed so that it can be preserved.
However, there is a lot of water on the sea, and it still contains a lot of corrosive substances, so if you want to avoid getting wet completely, you can only store the wooden basin in dry stones.
"Okay, Father, I know how to do it. ”
After Mars replaced the reef, he began to replace the fresh water, so that he could ensure that fresh water would flow out throughout the day, so that he and his father would have plenty of water.
Waiting for everything to be more or less done, Mars began to control the moving island and sail, and when it was almost noon, the two of them went into the water again, this time catching a lot of fish that could be dried meat.
They cut the fish before noon and let it dry in the sun.
At this time, because of the guardrails around the moving island, Lawrence asked Mars to throw away the innards and unwanted parts of the fish that had been killed.
There are a lot of traps under the moving island, which will lure a lot of sea creatures, so their harvest will be even more abundant.
As more and more unwanted fish were thrown into the sea, the moving island stopped again.
You can already see a lot of fish swimming around it, and they are here for food.
Mars had been sitting at the top of the box and watching, wiping the knife he had used to kill the fish, and then thinking about how he could catch the fish swimming nearby.
Lawrence had been watching carefully, and he was actually more worried.
Because there are other dangerous creatures in the sea, this is a risky attempt.
But every success needs to take risks and try, otherwise how can it be so easy to succeed?
The sun had begun to scorch the reef, and Mars and Lawrence had entered the stone house.
At this time, the two of them looked at the more and more fish that had gathered, and guessed that their catch would be very large.
However, the fish that can be seen on the surface of the water will slowly dissipate, and they may also feel that being exposed to the sun on the surface of the water is a fatal move, so diving into the deep water is the main thing.
Seeing that the fish were gone, and the sea had become quiet, Mars felt bored, so he did not look at the familiar and unfamiliar sea.
When he turned around, he saw that Lawrence was already squinting and resting.
"Father, are you asleep?"
"No, what's wrong?"
Lawrence opened his eyes when Mars called him, and then asked.
"Father, we have been adrift on the sea for days, but we have not seen any islands. When you were going to use the tub to find the island, how long did it take?"
The sea is huge, and it is very difficult to find an island.
But even if it is difficult to do so, Lawrence will find a way to find an island with his son.
This is just like his father took him back then, relying on his father's perseverance, he was able to find an island suitable for human survival, and then he was able to meet a very good wife and have his own son.
So he firmly believes that he will be able to find a safe island with his son.
In this way, maybe his son can also find someone who can accompany each other, so that he will have a grandson or granddaughter.
Lawrence thought like this, and he felt that everything was so good, and it seemed that everything would be realized soon.
Mars looked at his father, and at this time, he could only wait for his father to remember, and then tell himself.
