Chapter 105: Building the Raft

Just do it.

Ye Xuan didn't even bother to eat breakfast, and walked into the interior of the island with a dagger.

Probably because of the special environment of the desert island, the trees on the island are not stout. The vast majority are arm-thick, and there are very few trees with calf thickness.

"The best material for making rafts is bamboo, but unfortunately there is no bamboo on this desert island. But fortunately, there are eucalyptus trees here, and as I said before, eucalyptus trees are hard and have good toughness, which is one of the ideal materials for building rafts. ”

As he spoke, he came to a calf-thick eucalyptus tree, crouched down, held a stick, and began to cut down the tree.

The dagger was very sharp, and in just ten minutes, the 4-meter-tall eucalyptus tree fell in response. Rubbing the numb tiger's mouth, Ye Xuan walked quickly to another eucalyptus tree.

For a while, the jungle on the island continued to echo with the thudding sound of wooden sticks hitting daggers.

Since he was going to make a double-decker raft, there was a great demand for wood.

Ye Xuan probably calculated that at least 13 eucalyptus trees need to be cut, and this kind of material has always been more and better, only more preparation, no less supplement. So he needs to cut down 15 eucalyptus trees to be safe.

"There are hundreds of shipwrecks around the world every year, and just 14 years ago, a freighter sank in the Atlantic, and one of the sailors was washed up on a desert island. The desert island, like this one, has no stable fresh water. After calling for help to no avail, the sailor decided to build a raft and took the initiative to go to sea for help. As a result, after a day of sailing, he unfortunately encountered a mad dog wave. The crew made the most correct choice, he jumped into the sea and clung to his raft with both hands. ”

In the end, he was already unconscious, and he was successfully rescued. At that time, when the rescuers wanted to drag him onto the lifeboat, they found that the sailor's hands were still holding on to the raft. This story tells us that in the middle of the sea, we should never abandon our raft until we are truly rescued! A survival expert once said that to survive at sea, losing the raft is equivalent to losing one's life. ”

After pouring a large mouthful of rainwater and resting, Ye Xuan stood up and continued to start cutting trees.

"The anchor knows a lot. ”

"It looked very professional, much better than those outings. ”

"Meng Xin, watch and learn hard. ”

"After all, the patriarch, the man of the hard-anal leopard. ”

"Tell the truth, the raft of the patriarch, I can already guess the ending. ”

"I'm betting on a legitimate loli, and this raft will sink. ”

"MD, I've been hearing you say about the patriarch, what the hell is it?"

"When you become optimistic, you'll understand. ”

Between cutting trees, occasionally looking at the barrage, and interacting with the audience from time to time, it doesn't seem boring.

Time passed little by little, and the country gradually came to three or four o'clock in the morning. This time period is the time when the traffic of all platforms is the lowest, but Ye Xuan's live broadcast room still maintains more than 15,000 viewers, thanks to the homepage banner recommendation.

It is no exaggeration to say that this recommendation means that the platform is using the greatest resources to support an anchor.

The income of the platform is actually not much, it is nothing more than advertising, virtual gifts. Originally, the position of the homepage banner was a page game advertisement, which is the best advertising space for the entire Ocean TV, which can bring millions of revenue to the platform at least every month. But now, the platform would rather give up such a large amount of income to support Ye Xuan, you can imagine how much attention it attaches to him.

However, the platform and the anchor have always been mutually beneficial. If he can really praise Hongye Xuan, then he can help the platform continue to attract new audiences and increase traffic in the future. As the traffic of the platform increases, the price of advertising space will naturally rise, creating a virtuous circle.

It wasn't until noon that Ye Xuan finished cutting down 15 eucalyptus trees. Thanks to the fact that these eucalyptus trees are not thick, otherwise they would not have been cut down in a day or two.

Rao is like this, Ye Xuan is also tired enough. At the moment, sitting on the ground, gulping down water, sweat as if he didn't want money, desperately flowing out of his pores. Especially on both hands, the skin at the tiger's mouth is worn out, and it is bright red.

The force was reciprocal, and as much force as he struck the dagger with his stick, his hands had to bear as much force as he struck. Usually cutting down three or four trees, you may not feel anything, but now that you have cut down more than a dozen trees in a row, your two hands have completely lost their strength, and the palm muscles have begun to spasm.

Looking at his slightly trembling hands, Ye Xuan was a little helpless, his physical fitness was still a little poor after all, if he wanted to challenge a more difficult and dangerous wilderness environment, then in addition to supplementing knowledge and skills, improving his physical attributes was the key.

He always believed that a strong body is the foundation of the wilderness. To give a very simple example, when a person faces a leopard, even if he knows the weakness of the leopard and knows how to kill the leopard at the lowest cost, but the physical fitness is not good, everything is in vain.

It's a pity that the genes limit his attribute ceiling, and through high-intensity fitness training, he can only maintain his state and can no longer continue to improve his attributes.

Fortunately, he was supported by the platform, and he was soon able to gather 50,000 faith points. When the time comes, you will have a chance to get attribute points when you open a special lottery. Thinking of this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel excited, and his whole person was full of energy.

"We're almost done, let's move on. ”

The eucalyptus trees on the ground were cut off by Ye Xuan, and only the straight trunks were retained. After doing this, he dragged the trunk of the tree to the beach and let the scorching sun dry it. When the trunk dries, it becomes lighter, more buoyant, and tougher.

The ocean is not a lake, and if there is a problem with the raft, it can be life-threatening.

Ye Xuan didn't want to joke with his life, so he wanted to make the raft perfect this time.

Returning to the grass shed and sitting down, he raised his arm in front of the live broadcast camera, through the live broadcast screen, the audience can clearly see that the exposed arm is like a lobster cooked yesterday, red at the moment.

The sun was so scorching that he only spent half an hour on the beach before his arm got sunburned.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you see my arm? You can imagine how strong the ultraviolet rays are here. In the wilderness, getting sunburned is a nuisance. At first, the skin will have red spots, like me, and then it will gradually come to the skin with a tingling sensation. If left untreated, the skin will start to become red, cracked, and eventually sores. ”

As he spoke, he took a small sip of water and sprayed it on his arm. The cool water droplets suddenly make the hot skin feel much more comfortable. After putting away the kettle, Ye Xuan continued: "Fortunately, my exposure time is not long, it is not serious, I will rest for one night tonight, and I should be able to recover tomorrow." ”

After resting for a while, Ye Xuan took out the remaining coconut oil and carefully rubbed it on his skin, preparing to go to the reef area to find something to eat. After a morning of high-intensity exercise, he was already hungry, and his stomach was constantly groomed with sour water, not to mention how uncomfortable it felt.
