Chapter 010: Dreaming Again
The sky is about to dark, and Wen Ming, who has no survival equipment, is in the middle of an isolated island but finds that his heart is on fire.
"Lao Tzu, is this going against the sky?"
Like a madman, Wen Ming yelled on the island.
How could he not be excited?
After dreaming of the movie "The Martian", Wen Ming found that he had some knowledge in his mind that did not exist before.
The hero of "The Martian" discovered a probe launched by the United States on Mars, and used this probe to get in touch with the earth. However, the probe was only able to take pictures and send them back to Earth, and it had a 48-minute signal transmission cycle.
In this case, the elite experts on the earth told the actor a code, and it was with this code that the actor changed the communication mode of the existing equipment and successfully made direct contact with NASA on the earth. This kind of direct contact is somewhat like a simplified version of QQ chat.
After the dream of "The Martian", the most profound thing in my mind is that code. Although I also feel that I know some other knowledge, it is not as profound as that code.
That's why he bought a computer to verify the authenticity of that piece of code.
It turned out that the code actually worked, and although he didn't have NASA's Mars rover or other modules, it did prove that the code was true.
However, at that time, Wen Ming had other speculations, that is, the movie "The Martian", in order to seek authenticity, so a real code was used. And the code he wrote down was only because it flashed in front of the camera.
"But the botanist knowledge of the actor in the movie, except for a little when he planted potatoes, has not really been shown in any scene in the movie."
Wen Ming's inner heat made him completely ignore the sea breeze that had gradually become colder.
"Whether it's a coconut tree, or a mahogany, or any other plant that I can recognize now, it doesn't even appear in the movie. Moreover, I had never seen anything before except a coconut tree and a few other plants. ”
"The most important thing is that I can now tell them in an instant, their growth habits, their origins, their use value, and so on."
The injuries on his body could no longer bring any pain to Wen Ming, and his current state of mind was like picking up a wallet and being happy, only to find that there was only one lottery ticket inside. Disappointed, he suddenly saw the lottery on TV, and the ticket he picked up won the jackpot and emptied the prize pool.
fell and rose again together, if it weren't for the incredible thing that he had already experienced through crossing, he would definitely be as crazy as Fan Jinzhongju.
"It's palm trees, and there's a lot of it."
Wen Ming had already walked into the woods, and excitedly began to verify his 'knowledge'.
"This tree is distributed over a very wide latitude and is ...... in China No, the present China stretches from the south of Shaanxi in the north, to Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan in the south, to the Tibetan border in the west, and to Shanghai and Zhejiang in the east. From the mouth of the Yangtze River, it is widely distributed along the 500 km area of the west bank of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River......"
As if a floodgate had suddenly opened, the knowledge of botany in Wen Ming's mind gushed out like a flood. At this point, Wen Ming became a real botanist.
"Like, I took botany at Harvard?"
In addition to the surprise of the knowledge he suddenly possessed, Wen Ming found another gain, a few days ago, he was very worried that he would be expelled from Harvard University because he did not have enough credits or failed the exam.
Now, it seems that there is no need to worry about this question anymore, because since the knowledge of a botanist can be obtained, is it possible that he can also obtain the knowledge of a computer industry expert?
"Am I stupid?"
Wen Ming danced excitedly in the woods.
"If I could get so much knowledge so easily, would it be necessary for me to stay at Harvard?"
"Besides, if I can dream a few more dreams, it will be very easy for me to be a tutor at Harvard University, and I need to worry about being expelled?"
Wen Ming, who had been excited for a long time, suddenly felt that his vision was a little dark, and the sky was getting darker and darker by now. At the end of the sea, the sunset is almost 'submerged' by the sea.
How to survive on this island has become the most important problem for Wen Ming to solve now, even if he can continue to dream in the future and continue to gain knowledge from dreams, he must live.
If you die on this island, there is nothing.
What is the most important problem to be solved after encountering a shipwreck and being stranded on a desert island?
"Fire, I need to make a fire!"
Wen Ming, who has watched a lot of wilderness survival programs, finally remembered the business and the problems he needed to solve first after calming down.
His current location is at the junction of the subtropics and the tropics, and although it is still winter in the United States, the temperature in this location already has a summer feeling.
The average temperature was around 20 degrees, so Wen Ming didn't feel cold for an hour or two, but that didn't mean he didn't need fire.
When the sky darkens completely, the temperature on this island drops, and he is still injured. If he doesn't find a way to keep warm on this night, then he will have complications such as colds and fevers.
After collecting some dead leaves and dry wood from the edge of the woods, Wen Ming came back to the beach.
Until now, he had not dared to go deep into the woods, and although the island was small, it did not mean that there were no creatures. In a desert island like this, there is a high probability that there are various dangers from nature because humans have never set foot in it.
Drilling wood for fire sounds very simple.
In his previous life, when Wen Ming watched a lot of TV shows or online programs, he learned about a variety of ways to drill wood for fire. What drill wood type, knotted rope type, etc. But like many viewers who watch these shows, when they watch it, they think it's very simple, but when they actually do it themselves, it's difficult to complete.
"Dried pine needles can be a very good ignition."
Wen Ming looked at the various materials he had prepared, and began to move, putting the dried pine needles at hand, Wen Ming took a wooden stick and began to rub it on a large piece of wood.
"Hibiscus, which has a very low moisture content, can be used as a base for making fire."
Based on the knowledge he had gained, Wen Ming found the dead branches of the hibiscus. Hibiscus itself has a very low moisture content, and when it dries, it is equivalent to an aggregate of sawdust.
1 minute, 10 minutes, 30 minutes......
At the end of the sea, there was only a trace of the sun's remnants, and the smell of several blisters had already appeared on his hands, and at last he saw the tinkling of Martian sawdust.
He did not have the slightest agitation, for this was not the first time he had appeared, and carefully placed the dried pine needles on them, blowing as gently as a lover.
Finally, the spark that represents the origin of human civilization has appeared!
"It hurts!"
While using dead branches to maintain the fire, Wen Ming blew on his own hands, and there were a total of 7 blisters on the palms of his hands, which made Wen Ming feel unbearable pain now.
After solving the tinder, Wen Ming needed to solve the problem of drinking water. The coconuts that fell naturally under the coconut trees became his preferred targets.
After moving a few back to the fire and picking up a few more large stones, Wen Ming endured the pain in his palms and began to smash them.
"Bang ......"
A coconut was smashed open, but Wen Ming was dumbfounded, because there was too little coconut water in it.
"How long has this been falling?"
Wen Ming looked up at the coconut tree that was more than ten meters high, and the green coconut looming on it.
"I don't think I know how to climb trees, do I?"
Forcibly smashed a few other coconuts, Wen Ming barely drank enough, he didn't think about the coconuts on the coconut tree for the time being, because the sky had completely darkened, at this time, don't say that he can't climb the tree, even if he can, he doesn't dare to climb.
If you stumble, you'll die.
Lying by the fire, Wen Ming, who had been tired for a long time, watched the starry sky slowly fall asleep, and he dreamed again.
