Chapter 111: Survival No. 2
After more than two hours, the eucalyptus trees were finally processed.
It was noon, and the sun was so hot that he had to move all the wood to the shade.
After pouring a big mouthful of water, Ye Xuan said while drawing a diagram of the raft structure in the sand: "In my imagination, the raft only needs to be 2 meters long, it does not need to be too wide, and it is composed of 8 tree trunks to form the main body, and then a relatively thick and heavy wood is used on the left side of the raft as an outboard support. This allows the raft to remain as stable as possible in the face of wind and waves. ”
Outboard brackets are very necessary, and the Polynesian canoes are equipped with this thing to be able to sail the open sea.
Time was a little tight, and in addition to making the raft, he had to prepare some food to eat when he went out to sea and drifted.
Saying that, Ye Xuan had already started to do it. Arrange the 8 tree trunks side by side, and use the rope that was braided yesterday to firmly hold the trunks in a circle. This layer is the main structure of the raft and must be kept sturdy. For this, he used a lot of rope.
The material of the outboard bracket is a dead wood picked up on the beach, which is more than 30 centimeters thick and heavy, which is the most suitable material at present. The outboard bracket is actually not complicated, it is just a shelf built on the side of the raft.
Once the first layer was in place, he began searching the beach for coconut shells. There are a lot of dried coconut shells, this thing is not easy to rot, and after a while, Ye Xuan collected a small pile.
Holding a coconut shell in front of the camera, Ye Xuan rubbed it a few times and said, "See, the coconut shells are all coarse fibers, and even if they are soaked in seawater, they can still maintain buoyancy." In fact, coconut relies on this property to disperse its seeds. When old coconuts fall to the ground, some of them are swept away by the sea and drift across the ocean to another land, where they take root and sprout. This is also the reason why coconut trees can still be seen on tropical desert islands in the Pacific Ocean, even if they are remote. ”
"So, I'm going to use this stuff as the first layer of filler. ”
After spreading the coconut shell evenly on the raft, Ye Xuan took out the polyethylene foam from the grass shed and spread it on it, which was the second layer of the bamboo raft.
Then, with eight tree trunks placed on the foam, the rope is held and tied together like the first layer, and finally the raft is tied together in two layers, and the raft is done.
The materials are well prepared in advance, so the raft is easy to make.
Looking at the raft in front of him, Ye Xuan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "This is the second raft I have built, no matter how strong it is or what it looks like, it will blow up the first one." Tomorrow, it will carry me to survive on the vast sea, and I will have to give it a name. ”
"Let's call it the Ultimate Phi Phi Shrimp Advanced Edition Survival No. 2!" he said after touching his chin and pondering for a moment.
For a while, the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly had black lines on their faces, and then frantically launched a barrage mockery.
"Obediently, Sao is still the patriarch. ”
"Grass mud horse, laughing Lao Tzu prostate pain. ”
"666, my scalp is numb in this wave of show. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll take it, can't I take it!"
"Pipi Shrimp: There is a MMP that I must say. ”
"I'm betting on 1 G seed, and this raft won't last a day. ”
"Don't talk about it, brother, send me a private chat. ”
"Not to mention anything else, the appearance is indeed much better than the first one. ”
Ignored the complaints of the audience, because he himself was very satisfied with the raft.
After admiring his masterpiece for a while, Ye Xuan suddenly patted his head, took out the dagger, and began to chisel in the center of the raft, while explaining: "I forgot that there is also a sail, and I need to chisel a groove in the raft to fix the sail." ”
Half an hour later, an arm-thick hole appeared in the center of the raft.
After doing this, the time has come to more than three o'clock in the afternoon.
Although the sun was still strong, it was far less vicious than just now, Ye Xuan looked around at the sea in front of him and said, "The raft is done, now there are sails left." However, the sails are not in a hurry for the time being, most of them have already been knitted, and it will take three or four hours tonight to complete the weaving. While it's still early, I'm going to get some stockpiled food. After all, when you go to sea, it is not so convenient to get food. ”
Smearing coconut oil on his bare skin, Ye Xuan didn't go directly to the reef area, but came to the beach, "The reef area is full of small things like hermit crabs, and the possibility of catching a big fish is very low, I want to store as much food as possible, and it is best to catch a big guy, which can save a lot of time and energy." For now, sharks are the best target. ”
Hearing his words, the audience in the live broadcast room expressed their shock.
"Shark run, the patriarch is here!"
"This anchor is really grumpy, I took it. ”
"Lao Tzu is not accustomed to water and soil, so he obeys the patriarch. ”
"Shark: MMP, who did I mess with?"
"I was so scared that the dried fish in my arms fell off. ”
"After all, the patriarch is really anal. ”
"Without further ado, the gifts are gone. ”
"Bananas love to drink water, give the anchor 10 rockets--- the patriarch is awesome!"
"Mr. Mo gave the anchor 10 rockets--- I was a little scared when I was grumpy. ”
...
Glancing at the barrage, Ye Xuan said his plan with a serious expression, "Sharks are very sensitive to the smell of blood, they can smell blood from 1.6 kilometers away, and lock on to the location of the target. Fighting sharks in the sea is an unwise choice, as the sea is their home turf. In the sea, they are more agile and faster than me. ”
"My plan was to use the blood of the fish in the shallow waters, lure the shark in, and then drag it ashore. Once ashore, even the most ferocious shark is no match for me. ”
Even if the four-dimensional attribute reached 10 points now, Ye Xuan didn't think that he could fight the shark in the sea. But if the shark comes ashore, it's a different story.
In fact, the reason why he dared to catch sharks was mainly because of the skyrocketing attributes, which gave him confidence. Yesterday, he didn't dare to give birth to such an idea. But now it's different, four-dimensional properties 10 points. With the rhythm of the hunt, he was sure to bring a shark weighing no more than 150 kilograms ashore.
"First, I needed a decoy. It is better to be a live fish, and the blood and flesh are more likely to attract sharks. ”
After making a plan, Ye Xuan quickly returned to the shelter, picked up the harpoon he had made the day before yesterday, and walked towards the reef area.
Ye Xuan said as he walked: "Actually, there are fish in the reef area, but it takes some time and patience. ”
The shallow waters of the reef are a natural refuge for marine life. Here, you can hide from the attacks of large fish.
Standing waist-deep in the sea, Ye Xuan held the harpoon, like a sculpture, motionless. At the same time, a pair of eyes, constantly scanning back and forth in the seawater, looking for their target.
After waiting quietly for more than ten minutes, he finally locked on to his target, a grouper hiding in a crevice in the reef.
From his point of view, most of the grouper's body was hidden in the crevices, with only one tail exposed.
He didn't dare to speak, for fear of alarming the grouper, so he just pointed to its location and silently alerted the audience. Then he slowly put the harpoon into the sea with a light movement, and when he was only less than 20 centimeters away from the grouper, Ye Xuan suddenly attacked, and the audience in the live broadcast room only saw his hand holding the harpoon shake hard, and when he lifted the harpoon, there was a grouper stuck in it.
For a time, the screen filled with 666, covering up the live broadcast picture.
Agility not only improves his speed, but also improves his reflexes to make it so smooth for a novice.
The whole fish is less than 20 centimeters long, white all over, and covered with red spots all over the body, Ye Xuan put the fish in front of the live broadcast camera and introduced: "This is a grouper, they like to hide near the reef the most, because it can provide them with protection and facilitate their predation." Okay, now that the bait is available, let's try to see if we can attract sharks. ”
Carry this grouper to the beach and walk towards the shallow water. It was only when the sea water flooded Limbe's thigh that he stopped. After taking out the dagger, cutting off the grouper's head and throwing it in the seawater, he began to wait quietly.
