Chapter 25: The Boundary
Jiang Jianlong put on the clothes that had been dried, and then said to Li Suyun: "You can sleep first, and I will go outside the cabin to pick up some dead wood." ”
When Li Suyun heard this, he stretched his waist, lay directly down by the fire in the cabin, closed his eyes and began to sleep.
Jiang Jianlong then walked out of the cabin, he found that it was still daytime outside the cabin, but it seemed to be about to get dark, the sky was gloomy and gloomy, at this time he thought that near Antarctica, there were nearly twenty hours of sunshine every day, and the night was only four hours, according to what he had learned in the search for information that it was dark before 23:00 every day near Antarctica, then it was about 23:00 at this time, in order to find a little more dead wood as soon as possible before it was completely dark, it couldn't help but speed up, Quickly came to the slope of the island, some dead trees on the edge of the hillside have been picked up by Jiang Jianlong, he had to go to the higher woodland of the island, in the process of picking up dead wood, he accidentally found a number of bird egg nests, these bird egg nests have more than a dozen bird eggs, as little as two or three, these bird egg nests are hidden in the grass pile in the stone crevice, Jiang Jianlong at first disagreed with these bird eggs, but then thought about it, there is no food on this desert island at all, and the future days will inevitably face hunger, At the thought of this, he did not hesitate to gather all the eggs and put them in his pocket, and then he picked up a bundle of dead wood and returned to the cabin. The mother, who had taken pity on the eggs, screamed when she returned to her nest to find that the eggs had been taken away.
When Jiang Jianlong returned to the cabin, the sky was completely dark, he saw Li Suyun lying in the cabin and had fallen asleep, and he didn't seem to notice that he came back at all, Jiang Jianlong saw that the firewood on the fire had all been burned, so he added some dead wood to the fire, and then he began to follow Li Suyun's reminder, came to the position of the stern engine, found the ship's fuel tank, when he found the fuel tank, opened the fuel tank cap, and then found a slender rattan nearby, and inserted the rattan into the fuel tankWhen he took out all the rattans, he found that the ship was full of fuel, and according to his estimates, if they were to make a diesel lamp, they would not be able to use up the fuel for several years. Jiang Jianlong felt a little overjoyed by this, and he immediately thought, how can I make a diesel lamp?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but return to the cabin, in their luggage, found a bottle of drink, Jiang Jianlong drank all the drinks in the bottle, tied the rattan on the upper end of the bottle, the ship's fuel tank mouth is particularly large, when he tied the rattan to the upper end of the bottle, and directly put the bottle slowly along the rattan into the fuel tank, when the diesel in the bottle was full, he used the rattan to pull the bottle up, and the bottle was full of diesel.
The fuel and bottles are ready, and now a wick is needed, fortunately, this wick is not difficult to find, he found another pair of pants from his luggage, and he pulled out a telescopic rope wrapped in the waistband part of the trousers, which is thick and elastic with the telescopic rope, which is the best material for making a wick, Jiang Jianlong put the telescopic rope into the fuel bottle, only revealing a short "wick". Just when he wanted to ignite the wick, he suddenly thought that the bottle he used to hold fuel was plastic, if the wick was ignited, it would be easy to burn the plastic bottle, how to solve this problem, and then he thought that he needed to find a flame retardant tool at the "wick" mouth of the fuel bottle, so that the "wick" would keep burning without burning the plastic of the fuel bottle.
This flame retardant tool must be iron or stone, and where to find this flame retardant object, just when he was puzzled, he accidentally found a screw in the cabin to fix the frame, this screw is relatively large, and relatively thick, Jiang Jianlong measured it with the naked eye, and found that this screw can just be put on the plastic mouth of the Molotov cocktail, so he unscrewed the screw, and then put it on the plastic mouth of the wick, after everything was ready, He lit a fire on the fire in the cabin with the wick from a plastic bottle, which was dyed with diesel fuel, and the lamp was lit at once.
After the diesel lamp was ignited, Jiang Jianlong continued to observe the burning state of the lamp, as perfect as he expected, the wick kept burning, it only consumed the diesel fuel in the diesel lamp, because there was the screw blocking, the wick did not burn down, and the mouth of the plastic bottle was not burned, Jiang Jianlong was very satisfied with his work, Li Suyun was asleep in the cabin at this time, Jiang Jianlong looked at the items he made and kept smirking, in the process of making chimneys and diesel lamps, He kept finding the joy of making all kinds of things, and this joy made him forget all his worries, and even the fact that he was a cancer patient was not so clear for a moment. But when he stayed alone by the fire for a long time, he slowly discovered many difficulties that needed to be solved in the future. For example, the source of food for their survival on this island, and the problem of water source, all of this is completely clueless now, but just thinking about it, he can't help but fall asleep again.
When the next day dawned, the sea level rose red, orange and orange sun, Jiang Jianlong woke up, found that Li Suyun was still sleeping, and the fire in the cabin had been extinguished, but fortunately, the diesel lamp he made last night was still burning, and it was not extinguished, he couldn't help but feel a little cold in the cabin, and then walked out of the cabin and came to the island to look for dead wood, in the process of looking for dead wood, he kept finding a lot of bird eggs, he felt a little hungry, He picked them all up and put them in his pocket, so much so that when he returned to the cabin with a pile of firewood himself, his pocket was full of eggs.
And when he returned to the hull again, he found that Li Suyun had woken up at this time, and he was standing at the bow of the boat, staring at the sun rising at the sea level. After Jiang Jianlong saw it, he stepped forward and said, "Are you woken up cold, I'm really sorry, it was my turn to keep vigil yesterday, but I fell asleep again all of a sudden." ”
Li Suyun said: "It's okay, it's already dawn, I saw a diesel lamp in the cabin, it's your masterpiece again, you really made it." ”
Jiang Jianlong said: "Although we were blown to this isolated island by the strong wind, we can find a lot of items on the ship, which is a fortunate thing." ”
Li Suyun said: "Yes, you see that there is no such cold wind now, I think we need to explore this island now." ”
Jiang Jianlong said: "I have the same idea, but before that we have to have breakfast. ”
Li Suyun asked, "Where is there breakfast?" ”
Jiang Jianlong dropped a pile of dead wood in his hand, then pointed his finger to his pocket and said: "I found a large number of bird eggs on this island, wait a minute, let's light a fire, boil all these eggs, eat a little in the morning, and then carry a little to eat on the way to explore." ”
Li Suyun said: "I feel a little guilty. ”
Jiang Jianlong said: "I also have it, so what can I do." ”
After Jiang Jianlong finished speaking, Li Suyun and Jiang Jianlong couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.
