7. Build shelters
Shelter plays a great role in surviving in the wilderness, a sturdy little house can provide shelter from the wind and rain, while at the seaside, it will be extremely cold at night, and the sea breeze will be more violent, and if there is no strong house to shelter the sea breeze, tonight will undoubtedly be a very bad night.
On the beach, there are many driftwoods scattered here, which may have come from all over the world, carried here by the currents, and at the same time, under the erosion of the sea for a long time, some of which have become so badly decayed that they seem to be unusable.
Zhao Yunxiang found a few tree trunks that were quite reliable, the length of these trunks was quite uniform, and they could be used to build a similar skeleton, and then cover them with leaves.
"Silly girl, hurry up and come over to help, tonight we have to live in a small house, and sleeping on the ground like this is guaranteed to freeze into a dog!" Zhao Yunxiang stared helplessly at the palm leaves scattered on the ground, this girl thought about the island too simply.
"Huh?" Lin Yuxi tilted his head slightly, and said doubtfully, "I think it's very hot here, most of the small islands in the South Pacific are located near the equator, so presumably the temperature here is not too low." ”
Although Lin Yuxi is a top student, she only knows some generalized and one-sided knowledge, and she doesn't know that the islands near the equator will cool down at night, and the main driver of cooling is the sea breeze!
"Silly girl, I can't guarantee anything else, if you sleep on the ground and stay here for one night, you will definitely be blown into a fool by the sea breeze!" Zhao Yunxiang gently patted Lin Yuxi's fragrant shoulder, which was soft to the touch and quite good.
"Well... I believe in you once. Lin Yuxi crooked the corners of his mouth a little far-fetched, then stared at the thick wooden stick in his hand, blinked again and asked, "What are you doing with these sticks?"
What are you doing with sticks?
you!
Your sister, does this scholar know how to learn the knowledge in books every day? Don't you know how to apply it?
Zhao Yunxiang was a little helpless with the three wooden sticks in his hand, couldn't she see the general outline of a house?
Don't you know the principle of triangles?
Haven't seen a tripod before?
"Stick a tripod!"
Zhao Yunxiang was painting on the beach, looking for a suitable place to tie up a tripod, which is equivalent to a house, away from some coconut trees, such as the coconut tree on it, he didn't want to try Newton's understanding.
These cyan coconuts will definitely not fall by themselves, because they are not ripe, but coconut crabs can climb trees, they can get the coconuts down by themselves, and one of them will fall and hit their heads, and the result will be crippled if they are not dead or crippled!
"Tripod?" Lin Yuxi thought for a while, and finally suddenly was stunned, "Yes, you can build a house with a tripod, why didn't I think of it!"
It's not because you're stupid!
A stupid girl with such a small brain capacity, all those nutrients have run to the white and tender 36D!
Striding on the beach, Zhao Yunxiang came to a small tree, a small piece of the trunk of this tree was exposed, and its green tender skin was missing.
When the coconut crab was tied with bark just now, it was the tree that was exploited, but this time the demand is greater, and the amount of rope used to build a small house is very large.
The bark of the surrounding small trees has been stripped and stripped there, and without the protection of the bark, these fragile trees will die.
Generally speaking, all human resources are taken from nature, and the exploitation of nature is also unlimited, and most people only think about the immediate interests and never plan for the future.
Zhao Yunxiang stared at these poor trees, and there was a sigh in his heart, he couldn't help it, it was all for survival.
When they arrived at the makeshift camp, the two were busy making ropes, because time was limited, and the ropes did not need to be made too carefully, only the bark needed to be pulled into pieces.
With the hard work of the two of them, a bunch of ropes were finally made after ten minutes, and these seemingly slender bark were actually very tough, with many fibers in them, which were more than enough for simple binding.
The wooden sticks picked up are about the thickness of the wrist, the length is about 3 meters, the length and thickness are completely up to standard, and the next step is to make a tripod.
Zhao Yunxiang crossed one end of the three wooden sticks, then tied them up, and then stretched them out and put them into the pit dug in advance.
Digging a hole in the beach is easy, it takes almost no energy, just a small wooden stick, and a 30-centimeter-deep pit can be dug in 1 minute.
Although the pit is easy to dig, it is very simple to bury the sticks, and the characteristics of sand are like this, loose and soft.
They had a little trouble when the three legs of the tripod were having trouble getting their foothold in the bunker, and as soon as they put the tripod up, they instantly tilted to one side and eventually fell to the ground.
"I can't afford to erect a tripod here, the sand is too soft to support!" Lin Yuxi set his eyes on the dense forest, which was basically muddy, and if the house was built there, it would be easy.
"Let me figure it out!"
Zhao Yunxiang frowned and pondered, at this moment, the sun was almost all sinking to the horizon, the surroundings were gradually darkening, the sea breeze was becoming more and more intense, and the temperature was gradually decreasing.
It is really strong to stand a tripod in the dirt, which has the property of being able to squeeze and fuse, and it is relatively easy to insert a stick into the sand, because the sand is not a whole, it is very dense.
But the stick in the sand is not very secure, and with a slight push of the stick, it will fall to one side.
If you replace the sand with dirt and stick a stick into the dirt, it is definitely a very laborious task, because the soil is small and basically a whole.
Pushing a stick stuck in the dirt to one side can be very laborious, and it can even break if the stick is overwhelmed.
It is not advisable to move the shelter to the forest, where the sea breeze is relatively lighter, but the forest has a lot of bugs, such as mosquitoes, scorpions, spiders, and even snakes.
If you fall asleep and suddenly a spider with spider silk falls from the sky and just falls on your face, or if you turn over while sleeping, just pressing on a scorpion or even a snake, it is very cool.
Therefore, the shelter had to be built on the beach, where there was almost no vegetation, so there was no need to worry about the elusive snakes and insects, and the sea breeze here was quite strong, and mosquitoes would not wander here.
Qin Fengyi looked at the pile of gravel on the side of the beach, and immediately had a flash of inspiration and began to transport gravel to this side.
Dig a pit, put the legs of a tripod into the pit, stuff rocks around it, and bury it with sand.
The sticks are tightly stuffed with stones, and the stones are buried deep in the sand, which is loose but has gravity, and under the pressure of gravity, the stones and sticks form a counterbalanced squeezing force, so that the three legs of the tripod can stand firmly.
Once the tripod is firmly established, you can wrap the bark around the perimeter of the tree, spaced 20 centimeters between the top and bottom of the bark, and then hang it with leaves.
After nearly an hour of work, the shelter was finally completed, and the humble little house was facing the sea with its back, and the foliage hanging was still quite thick, which could effectively block the sea breeze.
"Zhao Yunxiang, you really have a way to know how to stuff a bunker with rocks to squeeze the legs of a tripod. ”
Lin Yuxi felt that he was getting more and more unable to see through this sullen slut, when he was in school, he belonged to the kind of scumbag who couldn't kick a fart with three legs, but when he came here, he used various tools to survive.
"My ability is just like when you see my JJ, I only see the tip of the iceberg, and when he is fully exposed in front of you, you will find that it is so big!" Zhao Yunxiang smiled obscenely and licked his lips.
"Neurotic!"
Lin Yuxi's face blushed, obviously remembering the tip of the iceberg of that thing.
That's a super long development!
......
After working for so long, both of them are hungry, and the coconut crab should be ripe when the time is calculated.
Removing the fire and digging through the hot sand, the coconut crab wrapped in layers of leaves is emitting a mouth-watering aroma.
