On the way to the Rickon, Qin Fei found that there was another small island nearby.

The island covers a small area, only three or four hundred square meters.

The entire island was covered in snow and ice, and on the edge of the island, there was a dead whale stranded there.

I don't know if this fish can still be eaten....

Qin Fei walked near the whale, took out a dagger, and slashed twice on it.

There was a screeching sound of daggers slicing through the ice.

It seems that the entire surface of the whale has been covered with a thick layer of ice, and the knife can't cut it at all.

Qin Fei took out the hacksaw, picked a good position, and began to saw.

After spending a few minutes, Qin Fei cut off a small part of the layer of ice on the surface of the whale. Without the barrier of ice, Qin Fei stabbed the whale with a dagger and dug out a small piece of whale meat.

This piece of whale meat is not big, it is only the size of an egg.

The main thing is that the frozen whale carcass is too hard to cut the flesh with a dagger. Qin Fei had been busy for a long time, and he only got so much.

The temperature at night was very low, and Qin Fei didn't want to waste any more time here. He put the piece of whale meat in his backpack and left.

After coming to the periphery of the Rickon, Qin Fei turned on the windproof oil lamp.

Outside, you can barely see your surroundings through the darkness of the night. But inside the ship was different, it was so dark that you could barely see your fingers.

The entire hull of the Ricken was dumped on the ice.

At the bottom of its cabin, there was a gaping opening.

From here, Qin Fei walked into the interior of the ship. This is the bottom compartment of the ship, and around it, there are all kinds of sundries, fishing nets, shelves, empty oil drums.... Putting these things together, they were a mess, and it was very reluctant to even settle down.

Above the cargo hold, there is a furnace, which is the power source of the ship.

The whaling ship Rickon, in addition to sailing on the wind, also relied on this furnace to burn charcoal, which produced steam to move forward.

Although this is not a furnace for iron, the temperature inside it is not a problem to smelt iron.

Inside the furnace is an iron tong for picking up coal. And on the floor near the stove, there was a shovel and a hammer, as well as some coal scattered on the ground.

Because of the hull shielding, the coal was not damp due to the wind and snow, and it was all dry.

Qin Fei left the cabin and continued to walk up.

At the top, there is the crew's lounge and the bridge. In the lounge, Qin Fei also found some materials used by the crew in their daily lives.

Unfortunately, most of them are not needed by him at the moment, or are too bulky to carry around.

There was also some clothing in the lounge, except for a woollen scarf that could be used. The rest of the clothing was not as warm as the one he was wearing.

In addition, Qin Fei was not short of fabrics, so he didn't take it away.

In terms of eating, there is nothing but a canned peach.

【Best Peach: Peaches of Super Quality】

It's fruit, which is pretty good.

Qin Fei hadn't eaten fruit for a long time.

Although there was only one can of food on the ship, Qin Fei had a lot of dried meat in his bag, and even if he couldn't find any food, he could still last for several more days.

After searching the lounge, Qin Fei came to the bridge again.

On the bridge, Qin Fei found a bag of beef jerky, although it was not much compared to the jerky he was carrying.

But the advantage is that it comes with its own seasoning and has a high salt content.

Nice snacks.

In addition to food, there was a flare baton, a lighter, and a flare gun on the bridge.

[Lighter: A metal tool used to help light a fire in the field]

[Marine Corps Signal Stick: The light is strong and the sound is loud, it can even scare off packs of wolves]

[Flare gun: A device used to send an emergency signal into the air and fire flares.] The bullet will bounce off when it hits the target.

There are also four flares next to the flare gun.

Qin Fei was slightly disappointed.

There are many types of flare guns, and some can even kill a bear with a single shot.

But looking at the introduction, this flare gun seems to belong to the non-lethal type.

However, Qin Fei still put it away.

After all, when the signal is fired, there will be a loud sound and fire in it, and it can still be used to scare off the beast in a critical moment.

Flare batons and flare guns are only used for self-defense, and are not very useful for survival if you don't encounter wild beasts.

In fact, the most precious thing in this is the lighter he just found.

The matches that Qin Fei had scavenged before were almost running out by now. Coupled with the fact that he didn't have a reusable item like a magnifying glass, this lighter came at a good time.

On the wall of the bridge, there is also a medical kit.

The items in the medical box were very complete, in addition to disinfectant water and antibiotics, Qin Fei also found a heart booster.

[Heart booster: A steroid injection used when life is at stake, which can make people burst out with great strength in a short time, but then they will fall into fatigue due to exhaustion]

These things were not heavy, and Qin Fei put them all in his backpack.

After searching the ship's items, Qin Fei fell asleep in the crew's lounge. It's very warm compared to the lighthouse, and you don't have to worry about freezing at night.

[You are alive: 13 days, 2 hours, 15 minutes]

When he woke up the next day, after eating some dried meat, Qin Fei found some scrap iron in the ship and came to the furnace on the ship.

He decided to spend a day today forging the bow and arrows.

The furnace has its own bellows, which allows air to circulate through the furnace, allowing the coal to obtain more oxygen and increase the temperature inside the furnace.

Because Qin Fei himself burned not iron ore, but the finished iron that had been tempered, the step of beating and purifying could be omitted.

All he had to do was to take advantage of the high temperature of the iron and hit it with a hammer to change its shape.

It is said to be a forged arrowhead, but in fact, it is just beating a short iron rod.

Hammer the iron rod into a pointed end in front and round it in the back.

It's simple.

The function of the round head is to wait for the birch arrow shaft to be made, and then dig a small hole in the middle of the arrow shaft for inserting it into the hole to fix.

The pointed part is used as an arrow, which is shot with a bow and pierced into the body of the prey.

The sharper the build, the better.

Animals don't have hands and can't draw bows and arrows, so arrows naturally don't need to make barbs and blood grooves.

What's more, with Qin Fei's current conditions, he can't make an arrow of this level.

The process of striking iron is tedious and physically demanding. It took Qin Fei six hours to strike out seven iron arrows.

It's not that there is not enough scrap iron on the ship, but the main thing is that Qin Fei's physical strength is about to run out, and he has been working continuously for six hours, almost not getting him tired.

However, Qin Fei didn't plan to rest yet, while the temperature of the furnace was still high enough, he planned to hammer out another axe.

Because the furnace is not a little fire that can be used to wrought iron.

After igniting the furnace, if you want to raise the temperature to the level of wrought iron, you need to add a lot of coal at once and pull the bellows repeatedly to heat it.

The amount of fuel is not enough, and the temperature is simply not up to the requirements.

In terms of the amount of coal that Qin Fei carried, he would be able to forge this time.

At this point, there were enough iron arrows.

While the stove was still not extinguished, Qin Fei found a few more pieces of iron. He melted the pieces of iron together, then repeatedly hammered the tips to make them thinner and thinner.

Then a very short iron rod was melted at the end of the axe, so that the head of an axe was made.

After cooling, you only need to find a wooden stick drilled through the hole, act as the handle of the axe, and insert the iron rod at the end of the axe into the hole.

After getting this simple version of the axe, Qin Fei didn't have any strength left....

In the end, Qin Fei used the remaining embers in the stove to put the whale meat he had gotten on it and roasted it.

Ordinary fish meat is very tender, even without any condiments, it can be eaten directly, and the taste is quite good, but this whale meat is different.

Whale meat has a hard bite and is not at all like ordinary fish meat that you eat every day. The hardness of whale meat is between that of pork and beef.

Maybe it's been a little long, but in addition to being hard, this whale meat also has a little fishy smell and rancid smell.

Because the unpleasant smell was so great, Qin Fei was so disgusted after taking a bite that he really couldn't eat it. The piece of whale meat was taken back into the backpack.

Although he can't eat it himself, he can bring it back and feed the maggots raised in the house when the time comes.

At this time, the hammered arrows and axes have also been cooled.

Qin Fei put it all in his backpack.
