Section 1514 Expedition to the sea
When they came to the beach, the members were already tired, and they didn't care about any image, so they just lay down on the sand and gasped.
Logically, we should have to take a break, but from the situation, it seems that we can't do that. We've just arrived on the island, and there's a lot of work to do, such as lighting a fire, conducting security checks, setting up camps, and searching for food, and so on, and if you don't start working right away, it will be a real hassle after dark.
"Let's go, children, let's hurry up and find a sheltered place, or there will be no place to sleep at night." As the patriarch, he should take the lead, although he was a little sorry for everyone in his heart, but after considering the time factor, Jin Bingwan still stood up first and greeted the members who had just sat down and rested for a few minutes.
"Let's go."
"Hmm." Although he was a little tired physically, everyone knew that Jin Bingwan's words were right, so there was no protest, just a little sigh, and then they stood up one by one, put their backpacks on their backs again, and followed him to start the first exploration after going to the island.
The small island chosen by the program team for everyone is not very large, about 600 meters long from north to south, about 300 meters wide from east to west, there are two not very symmetrical protrusions on the left and right in the north of the island, and in the southernmost part of the island, there is a small arc-shaped hook that sticks out. Looking down from above, the island looks like a scorpion with a somewhat distorted shape.
Kim Byung-wan led the crowd. After following the beach to the north first, and after looking at it from a distance, he noticed that the two protrusions in the northern part of the island were not suitable for camping. It's not that the terrain isn't flat enough. Rather, there were only a few trees on the two protruding reefs, which could not provide the members with a shield from the sea breeze and enough firewood to sustain the fire.
The conditions on the same island should not change much, so it seems that the situation of the small hook-shaped reef in the southern section should be similar to that of this one. After thinking about it, Jin Bingwan still retracted his original plan and took everyone back to the middle of the island again. Be prepared to place your camp at the junction of the beach and the woods.
Once you've chosen a location, it's time to start construction.
"Jing Yuan, you and Zhonghyuk go to the sea to investigate first. See if there's any seafood to eat, and if you can, grab some for dinner. It was Kim Byung-wan's duty to assign tasks, and he immediately made an assignment according to everyone's ability: "Tan." You take Jessica and Krystal around the neighborhood. See if there's any fruit or anything like that. As for Sung so and Woo Jin, let's set up camp with me. ”
Lu Yuzhen can't swim, he can only play jellyfish floating in a life jacket, and Yoo Tan, Jessica, Xiao Jing and Kim Sung-su are because they are either fat, female, or old, and their bodies are not very good, and the body consumed after wading through the shallow water has not been able to recover. It's not quite suitable for them to go to the sea right now. Therefore, let Li Jingyuan and Wu Zhonghe, who have the best body, take on the most costly task of going to the sea to explore the sea. It became the only option.
Although there are some marine life in the shallow water, there will be relatively few of them, after all, the water there is too shallow, only about one meter of average depth, and even if there is seafood, there will not be too much in terms of quantity and variety. In other words, the shallow water area does not have much value to explore, and if you want to complete the task better, you have to wade through the shallow water area and go to the sea area where you just got off the ship.
When returning to the deep water area again, you have to go to the shallow water area first, and when you come back, it is the same, this time back and forth, Li Jingyuan and Wu Zhonghe walked back and forth in the shallow water area a few hundred meters wide. It was enough to take a trip just now, and now it seems that the task of going to the sea to explore will definitely not be easy.
Fortunately, when the program team was looking for the address of the camp, they had already used the inflatable raft to transport all the equipment, and Li Jingyuan and Wu Zhonghe could borrow the idle inflatable raft without having to wade in the water themselves, and they could finally save a little bit of body.
"Alright, let's go." Even if you don't have an inflatable raft, you still have to go, let alone have it now, when a staff member came forward and told me that you could borrow an inflatable raft, the expressions on Li Jingyuan and Wu Zhonghyuk's faces were a little more relaxed, and their answers were even more straightforward.
The soldiers were divided into three ways, and everyone immediately began to act.
Let's not talk about the situation of the camp group and the land exploration team, let's take a look at what Li Jingyuan and Wu Zhonghe found in the water.
It happened that the water in this area was very shallow, so Li Jingyuan found a wooden stick on the shore as a pole, and soon held the inflatable raft and came to the vicinity of the disembarkation place with Wu Zhonghe. Traveling with them, there are also two VJs who are in charge of filming and need to go to the sea together.
The water is so clear that you can see the bottom of the sea from the raft. After seeing that he had come to the darker water, Li Jingyuan threw a stone that had just taken two minutes to make and was now tied to the raft into the water with a rope. Under the premise that Li Jingyuan, Wu Zhonghe and the two VJs all need to go into the water, in order to prevent the raft from drifting away along the sea breeze, there must be some means, and the stone tied to the rope that Li Jingyuan got plays the role of an anchor.
After fixing the raft, Li Jingyuan jumped into the sea with a harpoon and a net bag first. Following him, Wu Zhonghyuk also entered the water from the other side with the VJ who followed him, and chose the opposite direction of Li Jingyuan and began to search.
The surface of the water is about four or five meters from the bottom of the sea, which is not very deep, but it is not too shallow either. At such depths, with a warm enough water temperature and a slightly more abundant food source, it is easy to form a shallow sea biosphere that is as beautiful as the picture.
This is the Caribbean region of Central America, and the water temperature and nutrients are not a problem. In terms of cooperating, the water depth conditions are just right, so when Li Jingyuan and a few people get out of the water. In front of me, a picture of dazzling beauty was presented.
As far as the eye can see, there are tropical fish of different shapes and colors everywhere. Some form a small group and swim back and forth in the water, while others shuttle among the corals on the bottom of the sea. Li Jingyuan also found some clownfish on the bottom of the sea, which is the most familiar 'Nemo', swimming back and forth among the sea anemones. Every now and then, it will pop up and flash its head.
The scenery is beautiful enough, which is the first reason why Lee Kyung-won and Oh Zhong-hyuk feel excited. And more importantly, because the vast majority of these beautiful tropical fish can be hunted, in terms of a large range. This means that you don't have to worry about where your food comes from.
Of course. The most important thing at the moment is 'dinner', and there is no need to think about the next few days.
While enjoying the beautiful scenery in the water, while searching on the half-floating sea, Li Jingyuan did not dive down immediately, but planned to observe the sea now, and then start to act when he found a sufficient amount of prey. After all, only he and Wu Zhonghe are hunting now, and if they want to get enough food for eight people, they can't just waste their bodies. It's about trying to get enough ingredients for each dive.
It was about half a minute, and Li Jingyuan found out. He gestured to VJ, who was following him. He dived into the sea first.
A water depth of four or five meters can be a bit difficult for the average person, because they can't perfectly balance the ear pressure, so the water pressure after diving can easily make them feel pain in their eardrums. However, for Li Jingyuan, it is not difficult at all, his own diving record is nearly 50 meters, and the four or five meters in front of him is only one-tenth of his record.
While diving, he repeatedly balanced the ear pressure, and in a few seconds, Li Jingyuan came to the bottom of the sea, holding the coral reef next to him with one hand, and stretched out his right hand to a small hole.
After digging out, a stream of sand gushed out of the small hole, muddying the sea water in front of Li Jingyuan. Just when VJ thought that he would not gain anything, Li Jingyuan finally took his hand out of the hole, and then, a lobster with a small head appeared in the camera.
If it is a small fish or a shell, it can also be put into a net pocket, but there are too many protrusions on the lobster, thinking that it is not easy to take it out after putting it in, so Li Jingyuan still had to float up once before it reached the limit, and put the lobster on the empty inflatable raft.
In the previous shooting, every time I went to the sea was a group action, and it was not a boat, there were always one or two crew members waiting on the boat to shoot, so every time someone caught the prey and surfaced, you could always find someone to show off at the first time, and share the joy and excitement after the harvest. And this time, because there was only one inflatable raft out to sea, and the four people who went with him all went to the sea again, and there was no one on the sea, so Li Jingyuan couldn't shout to others to show off and celebrate.
There is a little bit of regret.
Not being able to share happiness is just a trivial matter, and more importantly, Li Jingyuan is a little worried that the lobster may slip away. Although the edge of the inflatable raft was also 20 centimeters high, no one was watching. After thinking about it, Li Jingyuan beckoned to VJ who floated up with him: "Brother, you go to the boat, wait a while to help watch the things we got up, don't let them jump back into the sea again." ”
"No, it's that high."
"Isn't that afraid of a single event, besides, you have other tasks on board." Wiping the seawater, Li Jingyuan continued: "Wait a while, you will be in charge of rowing, try to follow us as much as possible, we won't have to swim so far back to send things back to the boat, and we can save some body." ”
"What about shooting?" As a VJ, the most important task is to shoot artists. Therefore, even if VJ agreed with Li Jingyuan's method in his heart, but out of duty, he still asked with some concern.
"It's okay, isn't there?" Pointing to the small square camera tied to his chest, Li Jingyuan immediately replied: "I'll just tie this thing to my head." ”
Is there any difference between a camera strapped to your chest and a strapped to your head? Why did Li Jingyuan deliberately say the last sentence?
In fact, the difference is huge.
The first is that the shooting angle will be different. When tied to his chest, if Li Jingyuan hunts with his upper body upright, he can still be photographed at the moment when he catches his prey. But if Li Jingyuan is lying on the bottom of the sea. If he hunts parallel to the bottom of the sea, the camera on his chest will not be able to capture the moment of his hunting.
If you change places and strap the camera to your head, you won't have those troubles. Because when hunting, Li Jingyuan's line of sight will inevitably follow his hands, and the camera is tied to his head, and the angle of rotation will be the same as Li Jingyuan's line of sight, so that he will be able to do so. Naturally, you can shoot the decisive moment.
The second is the physiological influence.
When going to the sea, in order to ensure sight and facilitate breathing, Li Jingyuan also wore a breathing mask on his face. The focus of that thing after putting it on is not on the forehead. However, because of its size, it is still impossible to put on a mask and at the same time strap a camera to the door of the head.
In other words, if Li Jingyuan wants to tie the camera to his head, he must first take off the breathing mask. Diving and hunting without any aids. That's it. The sea water will affect him to some extent, and even the sand churning under the bottom of the sea may even threaten his eyes.
"And what about your eyes?" I also thought that it would be a little dangerous, so VJ still mentioned it with some worry.
"It's okay, fishermen who live by the sea, don't some people go into the water without anything? I'm from Jeju Island, so I'm no worse than them in this area. You can rest assured. With a wave of his hand, Li Jingyuan looked very confident.
I saw that he himself said so. VJ could only agree to his plan, get on the boat first, and help Li Jingyuan tie the camera firmly to his head.
Without a breathing mask, it still has some impact, but as Li Jingyuan said, the impact on him is not too great. After a short period of acclimatization, he dived in again and began to dive naked.
Li Jingyuan's attitude of choosing to suffer a little more in order to ensure the quality of the shooting is still very good, but in fact, the captured pictures are not too high-quality. The reason is that he forgot one of the most critical things - after holding his breath and diving, he still has to exhale a little air from time to time, and many of the blisters generated will pass through his face, which will naturally pass through the lens of the camera, which will affect the quality of the shooting.
What's even more tragic is that since taking off the mask, Li Jingyuan's hunting efficiency has begun to decline. It's right to think about it, if you want to catch a lobster or something, you have to hunt with your bare hands at close range, and at such a close distance, the sand that the lobster flipped up when it escaped would make Li Jingyuan have to close his eyes. With your eyes closed, as long as you don't catch it the first time, you can't track the escape route of your prey and you can't make a second attack.
can only use a harpoon to sting fish from a distance, and can't catch delicious lobsters, although the final amount of prey may not be bad, but in Li Jingyuan's opinion, there will still be some regrets.
Before they knew it, Li Jingyuan and Wu Zhonghe had been in the sea for two hours. Although it was still afternoon, the temperature of the sea water under the sunlight did not make the two people who had been in the water for a long time 'hypothermic', but considering the body, especially Wu Zhonghe's, the two still chose to do it here first and return to the camp with the prey they had caught so far.
The first thing you do when you get on board is to count your prey.
In addition to the lobster that Li Jingyuan got at the beginning, the two also caught nine small fish, the big ones were palm-long, and the small ones were only half as long. In addition, there are some shells, such as a large king shell as big as a head and a thick shell, and there are also sea mussels that you usually eat at a seafood shop. Finally, there are two black, shit-looking stuff, none other than disgusting-looking but nutritious and delicious sea cucumbers.
"Can I eat this?" There are many types of sea cucumbers, some can be eaten and some can't, and the two that Li Jingyuan caught this time are very different from the local sea cucumbers in South Korea in terms of appearance and color. Looking at these two things, Wu Zhonghe couldn't help but be a little worried.
"It's okay, you can eat it." Compared with Wu Zhonghe, Li Jingyuan's understanding of ingredients is much higher, after all, he is a person with the level of a five-star hotel chef. After explaining the types of these two sea cucumbers, Wu Zhonghe turned out that these two things that made people look very unpleasant turned out to be the edible sea cucumbers with the largest production in the Americas.
"Is it delicious? Maximum yield? It means that the most people eat it, right? It should be delicious, right? ”
Anyone who has eaten sea cucumbers knows that sea cucumbers produced in the tropics are generally not the best, but the sea cucumbers produced in high latitudes are the best products. As a chef, Li Jingyuan also knows these doorways, and now he is remembered by Wu Zhonghe.
It's not a very good material, and the program team is likely not to give seasoning, so Li Jingyuan is somewhat hesitant whether to throw away these two things.
'Forget it, let's take it home, it's better to eat something than nothing.' Besides, this thing is so ugly, it's okay to use it to play tricks on the little crystal. (To be continued......)
