Geoduck is not really tasteless, after all, it has just been washed with seawater, with a hint of salty and bitter taste.

It wasn't until now that he finally understood that the audience wasn't lying to him, but that this thing was really suitable for eating raw, and it was too hard to chew when baked. After eating the whole geoduck, Ye Xuan only felt that his chewing muscles were about to cramp.

After lunch and a short rest, we went back to building the raft.

He dragged the dried trunk of the plantain tree, sat in the hut, and began to weave rope from the fibers of the plantain tree.

"I've said it many times that to survive in the wilderness, you have to learn to manage your time wisely. Do the right thing at the right time. ”

Ye Xuan quickly rubbed the plantain fiber in his hand and continued: "The frame material of the raft has been completed, you just need to wait quietly for the wood to dry. It is very unwise to exercise at high intensity during the hottest time of the day. It's better to sit here and weave a rope. Ladies and gentlemen, a word of caution, in the wilderness, the rope is second only to the knife as an important tool. ”

Seawater is very corrosive, and the effect of these plantain fiber ropes is definitely not as good as nylon rope, as long as it is soaked in seawater for a day, it will begin to become soft. Therefore, he must make the rope more tenacious and reliable, otherwise in the middle of the voyage, because of the problem with the rope, the whole raft will disintegrate, and he will really want to cry without tears.

This is one of the biggest challenges Ye Xuan has encountered so far. Sailing in the South Pacific during the rainy season on a raft of your own construction is adrenaline-pumping just thinking about it.

Time gradually passed, and it was eight or nine o'clock in the morning in China.

Under the effect of the banner recommendation on the homepage, the number of people in the live broadcast room began to rise rapidly by an exaggerated range. The number of followers has reached 38,000, and it is believed that it will not be long before it can exceed 50,000.

The audience in the live broadcast room obviously did not have any confidence in his raft.

"Anchor, personal advice, stay on the island honestly and wait for the rescue. ”

"It's too risky to go to sea. ”

"Nima, I really haven't heard of anyone who went out to sea on a raft. ”

"I, Sun Wukong, expressed dissatisfaction, the East China Sea is not the sea?"

"I feel like this kind of raft can be broken in a wave. ”

"Obediently, it's really live with your life. ”

"It's good to live on the island, eat seafood and drink coconut every day, it's just delicious. ”

"After all, there are no women, and the patriarch wants to go to sea for great health care. ”

"You're too showy, aren't you? ”

Glancing at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Ye Xuan kept moving in his hands and explained: "Many locals in the South Pacific use rafts or canoes to go to sea, especially Polynesian canoes, and they can even sail to the open sea. As the first people to move to Fiji, they traveled in simple canoes through the vast sea. ”

Of course, everything is risky, and the Polynesians, who did not succeed, have already fed the sharks. A giant ship of 10,000 tons will sink, let alone a canoe.

Weaving rope is a delicate and unskilled task, but it requires patience.

The audience knows that he is preparing for going to sea, so he doesn't feel bored, but looks forward to the high energy after going to sea.

Ye Xuan was very serious, and each rope had the thickness of an index finger. It's about his own life, and for every point of tenacity of the rope, his hope of life increases.

The sun was gradually setting in the west, and the grass shed was already full of woven ropes, Ye Xuan counted them, no more, no less, exactly 50, which was completely enough for him to make a raft.

Originally, when I was cutting down the tree in the morning, my hands had already worn out the skin, and with the rope that had been rubbed all afternoon, there was a hot pain in my palms at this moment. However, this pain is completely within the scope of his tolerance, "The wood and rope are done, and the next step is the sail, which is also the most important part." ”

"With the sails, I can control the raft and go in the direction I want to go, instead of going with the flow. Now it's worth pondering what I should use to make sails. ”

Theoretically, thick tarpaulin is the first choice for making sails. But he doesn't have much material around him now.

With a T-shirt?

No, the T-shirt area is too small to move a heavy raft. The key is that he didn't bring a jacket this time, once he didn't have a T-shirt, when sailing at sea, his upper body was exposed to the sun, which would cause a large area of sunburn.

After pondering for a while, Ye Xuan hesitated: "It seems that the only material that can be used at the moment is palm leaves, let me see if I can try to weave a sail from palm leaves." ”

After deciding, he walked briskly into the island, returning with a large pile of palm fronds in his arms.

Sitting cross-legged in the grass hut, picking up a huge palm leaf, and studying it for a while, Ye Xuan suddenly felt that this method was feasible. Because the palm leaf itself is relatively tough and waterproof, it can completely withstand the wind. On top of that, the palm leaf has an elongated shape, which makes it very easy to weave.

After drawing an inverted right-angled triangle on the ground with his fingers, he touched his chin and thought, "I'm going to make the sail like this, and I only need three sticks to build the frame." As we all know, the triangle is the most stable shape, and the empty space in the middle is filled with palm leaves. It's convenient and robust. ”

The frame is actually quite simple, and the difficulty is mainly focused on the preparation of palm leaves.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Xuan tore a palm leaf from the stalk in the middle, first spelling out a right-angled triangle shape before starting to weave.

The sun sinks little by little to the sea level, and in half an hour at most, the sky will be completely dark. Putting down his movements, he walked towards the reef area.

Dinner was simple, a couple of hermit crabs served with oysters.

After settling the dinner like a jujube, Ye Xuan continued to weave sails.

By the dim light of the campfire, he held a slender palm leaf and knitted it like a mending garment.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations on raising the host's permission level to LV3 and rewarding the upgrade package*1!"

Upgraded?

The crisp system prompt made him slightly stunned, and then an uncontrollable wave of ecstasy rose in his heart.

I looked at the time and found that it was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening. It is exactly five or six o'clock in China, when the platform has the most foot traffic. The number of people in the live broadcast room reached more than 58,000.

The sail was only half weaved, but his mind at the moment was not on the sail at all. Putting down the palm leaf in his hand, Ye Xuan deliberately yawned, pretended to be tired, and said to the live camera: "It's not early, today's live broadcast is over here." Ladies and gentlemen, we'll see you tomorrow. ”

After putting away the drone and hurriedly broadcasting, Ye Xuan's face was completely devoid of the tiredness just now, and the whole person was extremely excited.

Sitting cross-legged in front of the campfire, he rubbed his hands together and then eagerly opened the system interface.

I saw that in the item column below, there was a gold treasure chest with flowing multicolored luster.

"The non-chieftain retreats, and the European emperor possesses the body!"

Ye Xuan clasped his hands together and muttered silently.

In the Taklamakan Desert at the beginning, it was because of these words that good things were opened. Luck is a very mysterious thing, and there will be no loss of meat if you recite a few words anyway.
