Chapter 127: Wind and Waves at Sea

The sea is flooded with sunshine, making the cold weather warmer.

Except for the first day when there was a strong wind and the rain was about to fall, the weather was fine for the next two days, and there was no intention of raining at all.

Bi Fang lay on the life raft, swaying with the waves, his eyes skimming the fishing line from time to time to see if any prey had been baited.

After three days of adaptation, he has become accustomed to this kind of drifting, no longer feels dizzy, and even this ups and downs have a feeling of "fluttering fairy", which is quite good.

Bi Fang casually plucked a sargassum and put it in his mouth, pillowed his hands behind his head, basking in the sun and swimming, not in a hurry at all, or it was useless to be in a hurry.

Fishing, in addition to technique, is more about luck, not to mention that he uses grass bait instead of meat bait.

But his appearance, basking in the sun and floating in the ocean, not only does not look like a victim, but it looks like he has come out to travel, if you ignore his slightly pale face.

Food is available, freshwater resources are still scarce, and a little evaporation a day can only ensure the minimum need, not the health need, and it is not a problem to last for another four or five days, but after a long time, it is always not the case.

He was waiting for a rain, a life-saving rain.

It sounds like all the hope of survival is put on God, but the real survival is like this, any situation is uncertain, what can be determined is only probability, and some people can become survival experts because they know what to do to gain the greatest probability.

It's as if Bi Fang knows that the North Atlantic Ocean is affected by an extratropical cyclone, the weather is unpredictable, and it will be windy and rainy at both ends in three days, and the probability of drinking rain is very high, so he is willing to wait, otherwise he would have already pulled on the zipper and kept extracting distilled water, instead of opening the tent and basking in the sun to reduce heat loss.

It's a trade-off, a trade-off that is in line with the interests of the moment.

True survival masters know where to spend their every effort, so their chances of surviving are far higher than others.

Without water, you can't conjure water out of thin air, without food, you can't conjure food out of thin air, Bi Fang is a man, not a god, everyone calls him a god, and he still can't conjure bread and water out of thin air.

To survive, it is to rely on more "probability", and the simplest mathematical logic is the key to survival.

Many people, including Bi Fang himself, have been pushed to the limit of pain because of their struggle with hostile circumstances and situations.

In this case, life itself can be felt as a threat.

The feeling of fear can be momentary, or it can torment you for hours or days, until when you realize you need to face it, and everything suddenly becomes clear again.

It is at this moment that a person really has the belief to live, and wants to find a way out and return to the life that belongs to him.

The above is not only Bi Fang's true thoughts, but also his real practices, and he is not hesitant to share his experience with everyone.

"There have been many times when I've been part of an unusual team with a strong spirit, a brilliant mind, decisive decision-making, humility and indispensable friendship."

"It is these valuable things that I learned from those wonderful people in difficult times that have accompanied me in my life, not only in the past when I faced danger and my life was threatened, but also in the present."

"I don't consider myself an expert professional explorer, but in many pleasant, brutal, exhilarating, terrifying, or bleak experiences, I have learned the value of knowledge, clear thinking, and respect for all extreme and challenging circumstances, and I should show them."

"It's about being able to adapt to the natural environment and trying to understand it, which will make you more attuned to your surroundings and therefore give you hope."

Bi Fang made the audience not bored by chatting, and after so many live broadcasts, he felt that he had practiced a good eloquence, even if it was enough to do stand-up comedy.

At the same time, he is also telling everyone, don't look at him now basking in the sun and drifting, but it is by no means a salted fish, but a reasonable plan.

He really didn't have a vacation.

[Understood, Lao Fang is an algebraist!] 】

[I believe]

Can you put your hand down before saying this?] It's hard to be convincing when you say this with your head basking in the sun! 】

[Really? I don't believe (funny)]

Bi Fang smiled, put his hand down, and sat on the edge of the raft to see if any fish were hooked, but the result was obvious, sargassum dangled on the water, and no fish were hooked.

He sighed, it's been two days, why don't there be a single fish?

Even if it's winter, it shouldn't be like this. What's more, it's not empty bait, it's grass bait, why don't you give some face?

Now many people regard Bi Fang as the world's number one adventurer, and the Air Force will be laughed at when he says it.

Is it environmental degradation or overfishing?

Is it even so difficult to fish?

Bi Fang scratched his head, he didn't know why, in order to kill time, he could only continue to chat with the audience and talk about some survival experiences.

"Although we are far from the shore, it cannot be said that there will be no seabirds, and there are often strong winds in the North Atlantic, and maybe some birds will get lost in the direction they deviate from, and then they will be hungry and tired, and they may want to come up and rest when they see my broken raft, so we can put some seaweed on the tent to increase its attractiveness."

Bi Fang took a handful of sargassum from a large mass of sargassum and placed it on the roof of the tent, spreading it out to make it more conspicuous.

[666, Fang Shen doesn't even let go of the bird now]

[Anyway, after eating so many things running on the ground and swimming in the water, it seems that I haven't really eaten the ones flying in the sky like this? ] 】

[It's a pity for the geese and birds last time, one by one, a big feather is abundant, and it's a pity to look at it, it's a pity]

Etienne: Are you polite? Thinking about my geese every day? 】

Do seabirds eat seaweed? Aren't they all fishing? 】

"A lot of seabirds eat seaweed, and according to scientific research, plankton on the surface of plastic waste decomposes and smells similar to rotting seaweed, so seabirds like albatross mistakenly think it's food and eat it."

"It is reported that about 90% of seabirds have eaten plastic waste, basically because plastic is eaten as seaweed."

Laying out the sargassum on top of the tent, Bi Fang continued to sit down and wait for the fish to take the bait.

But the audience who heard the news couldn't sit still, 90%?

What the hell is such a ratio?

[, is there still such a saying? 】

【90? Are there so many? 】

Bi Fang nodded: "Yes, what am I lying to you about this kind of thing, you won't know if you check it on the Internet." ”

Many viewers heard this and switched platforms easily, and the results were really true, not even more than 90%!

[I wiped it, it's actually true]

[Has the environment deteriorated to this point?] It's time for me to be a vaccine person! 】

[It's so pitiful, I eat all the plastics, isn't it dead? 】

[I will never litter again......]

[Fang Shen survives in the wilderness to reduce environmental damage as much as possible, and tries to find broken sticks, hey, the gap between people and people is so big? 】

Many viewers also resounded about what Bi Fang did, even if it was firewood, except for a few emergencies, he tried to select dead branches and rotten leaves, and restored the environment as much as possible after finishing it.

People are risking their lives to survive, even if they don't dare to leave traces in nature, they have to deal with it well, leaving a pristine environment, you are a tourist, and you have to leave garbage after enjoying the natural scenery?

How embarrassing?

[Don't scold, don't scold, don't dare next time]

[Cowhide, Fang Shen is also a particular person]

[If no one is convinced, just obey the old party! ] 】

The audience praised again, Bi Fang was embarrassed, and after a few more idle words, he calmed down and went fishing, but before noon, he found that something was wrong.

It's getting dark.

No way?

Another storm?

The dark clouds pushed in from the southeast, the air became dull and muffled, and the originally calm sea gradually set off waves, as if they would turn into big waves at any moment.

The audience was shocked to see this scene.

They still remember the scene of Bi Fang flying a glider over the storm last time, the lightning slashed down and ran through the heavens and the earth, and the branches of trees grew savagely, like hell, and now again?

Wait, it looks like Bi Fang has been waiting for the rain for a long time, right?

"I was thinking about when it would rain in the morning, and it turned out to be here now?"

Bi Fang was amazed at his own time to run, yes, it was time to run, he didn't think that he couldn't meet a storm in his twenty-one days of survival, since the storm would definitely appear, it was useless to worry, it was better to think about the benefits it bringed, fresh water resources.

So Bi Fang thinks it's time for him to operate.

But now it's not a matter of getting caught up in the luck, he needs to be prepared for the storm, he explained as he lowered his tent.

"Don't worry, I have actually been mentally prepared for a long time, because rain is generally a process in which cold and warm air currents meet, and the water vapor cools down and turns into water and then falls, and there is nothing to cover the sea, so the effect of the air flow meeting when it rains will be obvious, that is, it brings wind and waves."

"If it is a large hail, it means that the water vapor suddenly encounters a strong cold air current, or a strong convective high pressure, it will directly condense into ice and fall down."

"And I also said before that the weather in the North Atlantic is unpredictable, and I have long thought that there will be a storm, so don't be too anxious, but the program team, if you are at sea, you should leave as soon as possible, don't stay, after all, it is still very dangerous for a helicopter to stop on the sea, and it will be bad to drift like me when the time comes."

After two days of continuous sun yesterday and today, the sea water evaporated violently, and it was not uncommon for it to rain suddenly.

Bi Fang was unhurried, and even had the leisure to remind the director and assistant of the program team not to let anything happen to the shooting.

Of course, there is no need for him to remind him of this kind of thing, and the program team also knows it, after all, Pondy's security consultant is not a decoration, they will check the weather forecast every day, and once the weather changes, they will evacuate first.

But Bi Fang is more dangerous, although he doesn't care.

The audience was dumbfounded by Bi Fang's operation, not worried about themselves, and still concerned about the program team?

Is this what the big guy does?

"Also, if we have an anchor, putting it down will keep the boat close to the accident site and help you keep the boat up against the storms at sea. By adjusting the anchor, we were able to keep the life raft at the crest and the anchor at the trough, which would make it easier for us to avoid the big waves, but I didn't. ”

A sea anchor is a large sinken object with 3~4 hooks on it, each hook is tied with a rope, about 1 meter in length, and the ropes are gathered together and then connected to the shipwreck's boat. Sinking it into the water creates a certain amount of resistance and provides some stability that can help the boat resist the wind and waves.

The wind gradually became stronger, Bi Fang unconsciously increased the volume as he spoke, and he could clearly feel that the speed of the life raft had become faster, no, it couldn't be said to have become faster, it was simply galloping!

In order to avoid being blown over by the wind, Bi Fang had to lower his center of gravity.

The sea anchor can help the victim stay in the vicinity of the trapped point, so that the search and rescue personnel can easily find it, but Bi Fang did not have it, so he never mentioned it.

"Currents can have some noticeable effects on anchor and boat performance, so be wary of changes that can happen at any time. If possible, make one yourself. The length of the anchor's rope can be more than 5 meters, and when you are hit by a huge wave, it can be in the trough of the waves! ”

Bi Fang pulled the top of the tent to the lowest so that he could lower the center of gravity, and he needed to keep the canopy upright and the life raft dry.

"If it's a 20-person life raft, the heaviest person has to sit in the middle, and everyone else has to sit as well, so that the weight distribution of the body can be used to suppress the wind that blows up the life raft."

"Don't sit on the edge of the life raft and don't stand still, it's easy to fall into the water. Don't do anything unannounced without notifying the others on the raft in advance. Once you fall into the water, you will be quickly separated, and when the storm stops, the chances of finding it again are very small, and so am I, once I fall into the water, I am almost sentenced to death! ”

"So we have to take all kinds of measures to prevent the life raft from capsizing."

Bi Fang stretched out his hand and paddled the seawater, trying to make himself face the wind, look at the way the waves were coming, and cross over the waves.

Large waves, especially large waves hitting port or starboard, can capsize boats, especially life rafts.

However, Bifang's life raft is a circular life raft, which is precisely the construction that can resist the huge waves in all directions, and the disadvantage is that there are few oars or anything else to maneuver.

The world looked lead-gray, Bi Fang's roar was drowned in the wind, he couldn't say anything, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a large amount of air poured in, as if it could go straight to the stomach pouch.

Suddenly the raindrops hit Bi Fang's hand, and the fish finally fell.

He raised his head, and on the opposite side of the lead-gray world, the huge water pressure was coming down from top to bottom, and it was slamming towards the life raft!
