Fang Jinyan quietly stepped forward and observed for a moment, and from the expressions and tones of Hu Yong and the others, it could be seen that they didn't really want to keep everything for themselves. {

It's not that they don't want to, it's that they don't dare to do it, Liu Hongjun has made a simple agreement with all the groups before, and whenever they find important survival materials, they must let everyone share them as much as possible. And the tools of the 10th group were originally brought to the island by them, and at that time this agreement did not exist at all, so the situation was completely different.

If they refuse so much, it may cause public outrage, and it is not impossible to rob them.

What can't humans do in order to survive?

Besides, they don't dare to fall out with everyone, they also need to rely on the strength of the rest of the team, if it is only ten of them, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to survive on the island.

So their idea is obviously to "ask for a lot of money and pay it back on the spot".

Now because of the limited time, the rules of the self-help team are very imperfect, and many aspects are not clear and detailed enough.

They want to take advantage of this to fight for the greater good for themselves.

In fact, there was an argument within the group long before they came back, and some people felt that this was a bit selfish, but many more, including Hu Yong, thought that there was nothing wrong with doing so.

Their reason is that people are selfish, and if they don't do this, other people will do the same in the future, and then they will only regret the loss.

On the other hand, Liu Hongjun has also seen their thoughts, so he is very patient to negotiate with them.

Both sides argued for a long time and were eventually forced to make some concessions. Agreed.

Liu Hongjun finally proposed a plan: the second group has the ownership of these things, and can monopolize the right to use some of them. However, the right to use extremely important survival materials such as metal paint buckets and milk powder cans must be owned by the collective! In return, of course. Later, the other groups must repay them with some food or other resources.

Of course, Hu Yong wanted the other groups to repay them immediately, but he also knew that the food and resources of the teams were very scarce and they had no ability at all, so after complaining a few words, he finally agreed to the plan.

Then Liu Hongjun informed the leaders of each group of this plan, although some of the team leaders still felt a little dissatisfied, they felt that there was no need to make such a big concession on what had been agreed. However, when it came time to vote, it was still unanimously voted to guò.

They didn't have time to continue arguing now, and they felt that the plan was passable, so they accepted it

Then Liu Hongjun asked each group to report on their respective gains.

Fang Jinyan told the news of the sugar palm trees and the vines, because there was a precedent for banana trees, and Fang Jinyan's "easy to speak" - in fact, because he didn't want to waste time arguing about such things that were not particularly important, so the distribution of these sugar palm trees did not cause much quarrel, and an agreement was quickly reached.

The sugar palm sap they had collected this time was their own personal possession, as had been agreed, except if they left the island for a long time. Then the fruits of those sugar palm trees in the next season will belong to the collective, and they can only get a share of the more.

As for the vines, this thing is not a necessity. So it didn't cause much controversy.

The other groups also had their own harvests, and the first group led by Liu Hongjun himself had three mango trees. At this point, just after the fruit, they picked at least 3o kilograms of ripe fruit and came back.

The same thing. The mangoes that produced this time belonged to their group, but the mango trees that produced later fruits belonged to the collective.

Of course. Swaps and loans can be made privately between the groups, as long as the two sides agree on the agreement, but if someone defaults, the other groups will put pressure on them.

Liu Hongjun's first group lent 1 kilogram of mangoes to each of the other groups, and Fang Jinyan's ninth group also lent two 5ooml bottles of sugar palm sap to the two groups with strict water shortages to help them tide over the difficulties temporarily.

In addition, Zhao Lan's sixth group appeared wild sisal, in fact, many plants that may be useful, everyone does not know, but the sisal plant is so obvious that anyone with a little plant knowledge can recognize it.

Everyone is happy about this, because the sisal fiber is tough, wear-resistant, salinity-alkaline, and corrosion-resistant, and can be used to make ropes that are resistant to seawater corrosion, which is very useful for them who may have to build a boat to escape from the island in the future.

Not to mention that ropes are also used in many other places, so this is definitely a good look.

However, Yang Jian has a doubt: "I remember that this crop is native to Mexico, why is there wild sisal here?" Could it be that this is America? ”

"This thing is really weird, I believe many people have noticed that something is wrong with this island before, we were originally at a latitude, it should belong to the subtropics, but there are a lot of plants here, but they are basically tropical plants." Zhao Lan also said at this time.

Liu Hongjun shook his head and said: "I don't think necessarily, there is no clear dividing line between subtropics and tropics, the climate is also related to the marine monsoon, some islands are affected by the tropical monsoon, so it is indeed much warmer than the big 6 at the same latitude, and it is not uncommon for some tropical plants to appear, as for these sisals, they may not be wild plants in the real sense, sisal has been introduced to China a long time ago, and the southeast coast is very common to plant, I think it is possible that humans or seabirds spread their seeds to this island, Then they grow, so they're not really native plants, which is common. ”

"It's possible to say that," everyone nodded their heads after hearing this.

Fang Jinyan didn't speak, because he knew that Liu Hongjun's statement was actually very far-fetched, and even had common sense errors, but he didn't correct it, because this may not be a good thing.

It's good to reassure everyone, maybe Liu Hongjun also deliberately said so for this purpose.

In addition to this, the other groups also brought back some fruits or leaves of other plants, many of which they did not know or were not sure what they were. So the crowd gathered around and began to discern.

However, because everyone does not know much about tropical plants, many plants still do not recognize them, and the fruits naturally do not dare to eat them casually.

Although Fang Jinyan has a good memory, he has never deliberately seen and understood tropical plants, so he can't do anything about it.

Still, he recognized several of the more common plants, one was an unripe coffee bean, and the other was nutmeg, a spice that could be used as a seasoning or as a medicine, and could be taken internally to cure diarrhea, cold diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, etc.; External use can be used as a parasite repellent, treatment of rheumatic pain, etc.

Both of these plants are obviously valuable to the shipwrecked people on the island.

Speaking of which, the harvest of this exploration has been relatively rich, but the most regrettable thing is that none of the groups are now fresh water sources.

And that's what they're trying to do.

Although the sugar palm sap of Fang Jinyan's group and the tropical fruit mango of Liu Hongjun's group can be used as a substitute for fresh water, it is obviously a drop in the bucket for this team of more than 100 victims, and it is impossible for them to be willing to share these things with everyone else.

Because they themselves are not enough.

However, because of the garbage that the second group accidentally found, they now have other plans.

"I think we can try freshwater seawater now to get fresh water." The leader of the seventh group, Jiang Yi, was the first to mention yì. This person is a science student, so he knows and aspires to this area, although he has never really practiced it

"Do you say distilled seawater?" Liu Hongjun is not ignorant of this, after all, this is common knowledge for many people in modern times.

"That's right! We now have large capacity iron vessels that can be heated, and there are a lot of saline bottles, and we can make a simple distillation device, and then heat the seawater through guò to get fresh water, and we can also get coarse salt! Kill two birds with one stone! Jiang said excitedly.

"But we don't have pipes that conduct water vapor, let alone those infusion tubes, plastic things, with the temperature of water vapor, it will melt very quickly," someone immediately questioned.

"This is not difficult, there is a reed bamboo on the western coast, this plant is taller than a reed, the stalks are similar to bamboo, they are all hollow, although the hardness is far less than that of bamboo, but it is definitely enough to transport water vapor." Liu Hongjun thought for a while and said.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's do it quickly!" Jiang said with great anticipation.

"What do you think?" Liu Hongjun consulted other people and said that he knew very well that this device was easy to say, but it must be so easy to do, and even if it succeeded, the effect might not be very good.

"You can give it a try." Fang Jinyan thought for a moment and said.

"Try it, we don't have any other way to get fresh water right now." Others have said the same

After getting everyone's consent, Liu Hongjun postponed the fishing plan, took action as a whole, and began to make distilled water equipment.

First, they sent a few people to cut the reed bamboo, and specially found some naturally curved stalks, which could make it easier to connect.

Then, they chose the largest paint bucket, cleaned it with seawater, and then drilled a hole in the metal lid with a knife, inserted one of the most curved bamboo stalks, and then passed the other end through multiple plastic water bottles, which were the simplest condensing equipment, and another hole was made in it, so that the cooler seawater could be filled with the cooler seawater as a condenser at any time (to be continued!).
