Chapter 24: The Sea
The wind has been raging outside the cabin, Jiang Jianlong and Li Suyun closed all the doors in the cabin in order to keep warm, but because of a fire burning in the cabin, the smoke that came out could not be discharged without a gap, resulting in the smoke in the cabin becoming thicker and thicker, this is an urgent problem, must be solved immediately, Jiang Jianlong thought of a plan at this time, he felt that the cabin should also design a smoke chimney, this chimney must meet two conditions, neither allow the cold air outside to enter the cabin, But it can smoothly exhaust all the smoke. In order to meet these two conditions, the chimney must be curved, because only then will it not be easy for cold air to blow into the cabin. If you want to meet these two requirements, as long as you can find a pipe, and then tie one end of the pipe to a funnel-shaped hood, and after tying, put the pipe at the end of the funnel-shaped hood on the fire, and the smoke from the firewood will gather in the middle of the hood, and finally drain along the pipe out of the cabin, all this will be solved, but on this deserted island, where to find a pipe?
At this moment, Jiang Jianlong thought that there was a fence around the edge of the bow of the ship, which was used to prevent the personnel on the ship from standing on the bow of the ship and falling into the sea.
After Jiang Jianlong thought of this plan, he squinted at the smoke and said to Li Suyun with tears in his eyes: "The smoke in this cabin is too big, and the wind outside is so strong and cold, we must exhaust all the smoke inside, I thought of a way, we must make a chimney now." ”
After Jiang Jianlong finished speaking, he put on the clothes that had not been dried again, then went out of the hatch, got off the boat, came to the reef on the shore and picked up a round big rock, and then he held the big rock he picked up, and began to hammer the protective fence welded with steel pipes on the bow of the boat, these protective railings were welded very strong, Jiang Jianlong held the big rock and hammered it hard more than a dozen times, before he broke one, and then he finally hit it dozens of times, and he was exhausted. After he knocked down the three bent steel pipes, he found a canned fish in the cabin, which was originally in their luggage, which Jiang Jianlong and Li Suyun bought in a supermarket in Argentina before, and it was originally a food for emergencies, but now this has become a treasure, it is not only food, but the empty iron box other than food can just hammer it flat and then bend it. Make an iron hood like a funnel.
After Jiang Jianlong opened the can of fish, he turned his back, closed his eyes and handed the can to Li Suyun, who was hiding behind the baking clothes and was undressed, and said, "You can eat it, I will keep this can after eating, and then make it into an iron cover." ”
Li Suyun cautiously put her hand on the outside of her clothes, then took the canned fish, and ate a few bites with her bare hands, at this moment, she thought that if this was a desert island, these foods were extremely precious, he couldn't help but hand the uneaten canned fish to Jiang Jianlong and said, "You can eat a little too, I'm full." ”
Jiang Jianlong asked curiously: "I've only eaten a few bites, how can I be full all of a sudden?" ”
Li Suyun said: "I'm not hungry. ”
Jiang Jianlong knew that this was Li Suyun thinking about him, so he no longer postponed and ate all the remaining food in the canned fish, and then he took the empty canned fish, got off the boat, and came to the reef again, picked up a small stone, and slowly flattened the empty can little by little with that stone, and then turned it into a piece of iron, Jiang Jianlong used the iron sheet to bend it into a hollow funnel, installed it at one end of three hollow pipes, and then fixed it tightly, and when everything was done, Jiang Jianlong took the rudimentary chimney he made and placed it above the fire, and when the smoke from the firewood rose up, it would run along three hollow steel pipes all the way to the outside of the cabin.
When Jiang Jianlong finished the chimney, he saw that the dead wood in the cabin was about to burn out, and then went to the island to pick up a large pile of dead wood, and then carried it to the cabin, put it in the fire to burn, and then, he took off the clothes that had not been baked, hung them on the rope and continued to roast, so that he couldn't help but feel very tired, he leaned his back against the fire, and began to say to Li Suyun: "Now this fire in the cabin can't be extinguished, there is no fire in such a cold place, It's impossible for us to survive, I've just brought a lot of dead wood, I'm a little sleepy right now, I have to sleep for a while, and then if the fire is going to be extinguished, you can add a little more dead wood to it, and if you're sleepy, wake me up, I'll keep watch, and we have to make sure that one is awake. ”
When Li Suyun heard it, she thought about it, so she said: "If you are sleepy, you can sleep, I promise that this fire will not be extinguished." ”
When Jiang Jianlong heard this, he leaned on the edge of the cabin and fell asleep.
I don't know how long Jiang Jianlong slept, when he woke up, he saw that all the dead wood he picked up before going to bed had been burned, and then he touched the clothes hanging on the rope and found that they were basically all dried up by the fire. When Li Suyun found out that Jiang Jianlong had woken up, she yawned and said, "You woke up." ”
Jiang Jianlong asked, "How long did I sleep?" ”
Li Suyun replied, "About six or seven hours." ”
Jiang Jianlong immediately said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I slept for so long at once, why didn't you wake me up, you must be very sleepy, you sleep first, I'll go outside and find some dead wood,"
Li Suyun said: "I'm really a little sleepy, I want to wake you up several times, but I'm afraid of disturbing you." But just as you were sleeping, I suddenly thought of a way to start a fire, that is, to use diesel fuel to ignite, I found that this ship is powered by diesel, and now the cabin is broken, and it can't be started at all, which means that the diesel in this ship is useless, but we can get it out to make a fire, diesel itself is a flammable substance, and it can be easily ignited. ”
Jiang Jianlong listened to it and then said: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, diesel is a flammable substance, we can use it to make a diesel lamp, use a small wine bottle to fill a little diesel, I estimate that there is no problem with burning it for a day, and this is another ship, there must be a lot of diesel in it." ”
