Volume 2 Chapter 122 Before the Relocation of the Island
At this point, the exploration of the entire island is basically over, and the harvest can only be described as "huge", even if the water source is not found, it is completely worthwhile to find so many kinds of crops, not to mention that the water source has been found in two places......
After several months of preparation in the early stage, it took more than half a month of hard work before and after going to the island, from the trembling when I went to the island to the bold and wild behind, and the harvest was so big that I couldn't imagine it before.
Now that I think about it, the benefits and disadvantages of this earthquake are quite clear to me, and I don't even know how to evaluate it.
It's good to say that the earthquake has deprived me of the water source I rely on for survival, made me rush and busy to find a new water source, and my hair is gray because of the lack of water!
If it weren't for my ability to learn and excel, refining metal to make various metal weapons and bows and arrows, the crocodile would have trapped me on the island for the rest of my life!
I can only watch the crocodiles get bigger and bigger day by day, and the number of crocodiles is getting bigger and more and there is nothing to be done, and it is quite possible to feed the fish when they go to the sea to fetch water in the drought.
Now we are facing relocation because of the water problem, and the topic of relocation is really not so easy to say, which means that all the belongings have to be transported to another island more than ten kilometers away again and again in this small boat.
In addition, it is necessary to rebuild houses, various supporting facilities, and reopen the wasteland, which makes people a mess......
Saying that it is not good, my life is more abundant because of this earthquake, I have discovered several new crops, high-quality crocodile meat is so delicious that I want to vomit, and now there are still hundreds of catties stored at home.
Although it was the water problem that forced me to explore the island, I found all kinds of new crops on the island, and if there was no shortage of water, I would not have ventured here, let alone build a ship!
And I realized that the conditions on Crocodile Island are better than here, both in terms of terrain and safety, and it is more livable!
It is a complex issue that is difficult to judge at the moment, and it may only be possible to accurately evaluate the earthquake in a few years.
......
During the exploration of Crocodile Island, the harvest is huge, and the current basic statistics of the harvest are two fresh water, one of which is abundant and will be the main water supply point in the future.
There were dozens of ungrown carrots, a few spinach trees, a large bamboo grove and dozens of rubber trees, and this time the focus was not on finding plants, so there must have been something missing, but I just didn't find it.
In addition, I picked up a lot of supplies on the beaches registered everywhere, the area of the island is large enough, and it is difficult to meet a few crocodiles, plus I am more courageous, as long as I see that there are no crocodiles on the beach but there are supplies, I dare to pick them up!
The harvest is still good, including double-digit plastic bottles, a few pieces of cloth of different quality, three or five catties of rusty ironware, all kinds of materials, quite a sense of excitement of a windfall......
The beach where these items were found probably didn't take more than a kilometer, so it was interesting to see that there were plenty of supplies waiting for me to pick up on other beaches.
Of course, there are many unnamed materials in the forest, including dozens of coconuts, nearly ten pineapples, several mango trees and banana trees, and various quantities of various Chinese herbs and wild vegetables.
There was so much harvest that I felt that the years on the island were a complete waste, and that they should have passed a long time ago, and then maybe all the delicious wines would have been drunk by this time!
The nutritional value of spinach is very high, and after a while of collecting the seeds, it is a very good choice to plant them with greens in the next season, and then not only can I change the taste, but also the sheep.
In fact, in addition to fresh water, which is the most important, bamboo should be second only to fresh water, and more valuable than other crops such as spinach and carrots.
As an important raw material for various works of art, bamboo can not only make a large number of life-related items, such as bamboo chairs, chopsticks, back baskets, fences, brooms, etc., but also make various large furniture, such as beds, tables, chairs, etc.
What's even more remarkable is that some places will also use bamboo to build houses, which is not only beautiful, but also quite practical and emotional, and it is also a good choice to make paper from bamboo, and this large bamboo forest will provide very important support for my convenience in the future!
......
Unconsciously came to June, after a few months of planning and more than half a month of field investigation, the specific situation of Crocodile Island has been very clear.
At present, it is a very habitable island, there are only two large animals, crocodiles and anteaters, and there are no other large animals, not even traces of life, so the whole island is basically safe!
The anteaters are no threat to me, and a few small crocodiles are a piece of cake in my eyes, so I don't have to worry about it, as long as I have free time and a lot of empty containers at home, I can turn them all into my food in ten days and a half.
However, it is necessary to pay attention to the invasion of poisonous snakes, and I have not encountered a few snakes in the past few years on the island, but I have killed three in about half a month after exploring Crocodile Island, and the difference is quite obvious.
This also shows that the poisonous snakes on this island are at least several times more than those on this island, otherwise it would not have been possible to have such a high frequency, and it is impossible to come to me without long eyes to find me to be beaten!
But a few snakes clearly don't stand in the way of the plans that follow, and it's time to determine what the next step should be......
The original goal was all accomplished, and all aspects of the island were eligible, so the rest of the story was self-evident, but at this time it made me difficult.
At first, my idea was very simple, just to find a water source and move to the island, but now that the water source has been found, and the conditions on the island are not bad in all aspects, I am very entangled.
The relocation work was actually on the agenda the moment I found the water source, and I was still hoping that the water would come out of the well again, so that I would not have to work hard to move the island.
Unfortunately, until now the well has been in a dry state, and there is no sign of returning to the past, and there is no room for maneuver!
......
The usual work of moving can be worrying, not to mention my current mental activity, and the thought of moving to another island from scratch can make my head go big.
But you can't go if you don't go, it's very troublesome when you encounter a drought, not to mention when you are injured in an accident and lose your mobility, it is estimated that it will be finished directly, so not walking can make people's heads as big as two buckets!
Thinking about the purpose of this search for water is to relocate, and the house built on the top of the mountain is really more hated by typhoons, and the same is true for vegetable fields, which are too high to hold on to crops every time they encounter strong winds.
In the end, I made up my mind to move!
Of course, if you really move, it's far from being as simple as you think, don't look at my life now, and things don't seem to be much, but if you really move, it's really terrible!
All kinds of food at home have thousands of catties, need to be transported back and forth to another island, all kinds of pottery is used when it is too little, there are dozens of large and small, large and small pottery bowls are six or seven.
Before moving, the accommodation of Crocodile Island must also be solved first, otherwise in the past, you can only use the sky as a quilt and the ground as a bed, which is worse than living in a cave at the beginning!
Even if these tasks are done roughly, it will take at least a month to complete, not to mention the future land reclamation and the construction of houses and living facilities, and it is estimated that there will not be much idle time in two years.
Fortunately, the most thing that I don't have to go to work now is time, and the purpose of living is simply to live and live better!
......
It took two or three days to take care of the crops in the field, hoe most of the weeds in the field, filter two large tanks of fresh water when there was water in the pool, and put about three days of food in the chicken pen and sheep pen.
At the beginning of June, the relocation of the island officially began......
I set out to Crocodile Island again to prepare for the relocation, which is simply to build a simple house first, and then save it after transporting it to prevent it from being rained, and at the same time, my housing and other problems also need to be solved.
The purpose is to fight a front-line battle for large-scale relocation, otherwise there will be no place to rest when I blindly move over, which is obviously not something I can do!
This time, I brought everything very well, hoes, axes, shovels and other most of the iron tools needed were put on the ship, enough food and fresh water for two or three days, and two large bales of hay prepared in advance to solve the temporary sleeping problem.
I haven't forgotten the weapons, but don't forget that there are crocodiles on the island, so they have always been in a state of not leaving.
For the time being, important tools such as hoes can only be used between the two islands, and as long as they are carried where they need to be moved, as long as the crops are harvested this season, the problem will no longer exist.
The re-departure is similar to the scene on the desert island five years ago, except that there are more efficient tools and no worries about food, and the family is much more wealthy.
But other aspects are almost starting from scratch, the only advantage is that after having enough experience, you can follow the various patterns on the island now, and directly skip the immature stage of development!
On the ship, I always wondered where to start, to open up the wasteland first. Or build a house first? Or do you dig a well first? It's almost a mistake to make people choose phobias.
......
The boat finally stopped in the middle of the back of the island, and with the topographical map of the whole island in my mind's mind, I decided that I would first look near the flat land that I thought was a good place to build a house, and that building a house would still be the highest priority.
This position is about two or three hundred meters away from the nearest sea water, and the height is about fifty meters, and then three or four hundred meters forward from this open space is close to the head of the island, and the head of the whole island is basically flat land from the sea, occupying at least one-tenth of the island.
If you calculate the area, it is at least more than 500 acres, and it is certainly not a problem to cut down the excess trees above and then open up the wasteland to plant a few acres of land, which is twenty or thirty meters away from the sea surface, as long as you don't encounter a tsunami, you don't have to worry about the waves being able to hit it.
