Live Wild Adventure

Chapter 237

With sails, the drifting speed of the life raft is obviously accelerated.

The light raft is carried by the waves to the distance, especially in strong winds, at least tens of kilometers can be traveled every day.

According to Bi Fang's previous judgment, the program crew threw him into the North Atlantic Ocean, so he should drift eastward, so that he has a better chance of encountering land.

"To tell the direction at sea, we mainly rely on the compass. Without a compass, we can only rely on the sun or stars. If we have a watch, we can use the watch and the sun to determine the direction. There are many ways to use the watch to see the direction.

The simplest one is to lay the watch flat and align the hour hand with the sun. The bisector of the angle less than 12 degrees between the hour hand and 180 o’clock on the watch dial points to the south. "

It's coming, it's time for Fang Shen to show off his skills again.

The audience pricked up their ears, wanting to know that in the sea, there is nothing to rely on to identify the direction.

The situation seems to be worse than the desert, at least the desert can still rely on the dunes for orientation.

"Of course, you may not be able to ensure that you are level at sea, so you need to use other methods, which are more complicated..."

The earth rotates 24 degrees in 360 hours, and rotates 15 degrees in an hour, and the hour hand of a watch always turns twice as fast as the sun. According to this principle, the direction can be roughly determined by the watch and the sun.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, the sun is roughly in the east, and the shadow points to the west. At this time, point the hour hand on the watch to the sun, and the word "12" on the dial will point to the west.

If the dial is rotated 90 degrees, it is about to be half-turned at 6 o'clock, so that the character "3" on the dial faces the sun, and the character "12" points to the north.

At 12:12 noon, the sun is in the south, and 6 is folded in half so that the character "12" on the dial faces the sun, and the character "[-]" still points to the north.

Change the time in turn in other time periods, the effect is the same.

"The above method is only suitable for use north of the Tropic of Cancer. If it is south of the Tropic of Cancer, point the 12 o'clock in the direction of the sun, and the center of the hour hand and 12 o'clock will point to the north. Also pay attention to the time zone problem. If you don't know , you could spend the whole day checking when the sun rises and sets, and then calibrate the watch.”

"But I don't have a watch, unless you tell me the time, and you have to be friends in Europe."

As soon as Bi Fang finished speaking, a lot of bullet screens appeared, all of which were time-telling birds.

"No need, in addition to these, we can also judge our own direction by judging the wind direction based on our location,"

Bi Fang smiled and shook his head, he underestimated him, so what if he didn't have tools, he couldn't be troubled.

The master of geography, Fang, appeared again.

Besides tools, wind direction is the best direction teacher.

The sea can sometimes be windy depending on the season.Especially in the monsoon climate zone, in summer, because the temperature of the sea is lower than that of the land, the air pressure of the sea is higher than that of the land, and the wind blows from the sea to the land;

A quarter of the world can be defined as a monsoon climate, and the North Atlantic Ocean is close to Europe, so it is no exception.

What's more, there is also a famous ocean current here, the North Atlantic Warm Current, which spans almost the entire ocean. Even if there is no wind, it can reach the European continent along the direction of the current.

The situation is clear, there is food, bone hooks, and sails. Bi Fang is in a good mood, and he can't wait to set sail and conquer the sea along the wind direction.

When the strong wind blows, the canvas flaps rapidly, and the waves lift the life raft and fly to the far side. The fishhooks are not sinking into the sea, and they are also floating on the sea.

It can be so fast!

The audience was dumbfounded, are you sure this thing is not a speedboat?

It looks inflatable on the surface, but in fact there is an engine installed under the raft?

Fortunately, the strong wind only blew for a while, and the speed of the life raft gradually slowed down and was no longer so exaggerated.

Bi Fang supported the tent with both hands, facing the wind. He didn't cut the tent completely. The strong wind just now almost tore the joints, which shows how strong the wind is.

The plan to turn the tent into a sail was a success, and he obviously felt closer to the mainland than when there was no sail two days ago.

The reason is that the sea water with a slight change in color, although it is the same color in the eyes of the audience, there is no deeper change at all.

Use the color of sea water to distinguish the depth, which is not very friendly to color blindness and color weakness.

Bi Fang did not dismantle all the tents, but dismantled half of them, and the rest was enough to fix the tents. Next time it rains, as long as you firmly hold the two sides, it will still be firm.

The audience was fascinated by watching Bi Fang driving the life raft. His smooth arms pulled the textured canvas, occasionally icy sea water splashed on his feet, and he drove the boat across the ocean.

At noon, Bi Fang sat down to rest. At the same time, he added some nutrition, grabbed the third squid and ate it, pulling a handful of sargassum from time to time, and mixed meat and vegetables to avoid constipation.

So far, except for the last squid that was used as a container, all three have entered the stomach.

Bi Fang had no intention of saving some food, because in addition to these four squids, he had gained something in the past two days, two North Atlantic mackerel!
That's right, it's the fish that Bi Fang encountered last time!
What a fate!
Knowing that he was tired of eating squid, he came all the way from Beihai.

Two mackerel, each about the size of Bi Fang's forearm, were caught yesterday when he was passing through a sea area. These creatures like to live in groups, so Bi Fang stopped there directly. Unfortunately, he was not very lucky. Only two were caught.

But it doesn't matter, two are enough, enough for three days, mackerel is plump and tender, and its fat content is much higher than that of squid, so it can replenish calories more when eaten.

Wiping the corner of his mouth, Bi Fang picked up the hook with the idea of ​​giving it a try, and found that it was rewarding again.

A tiny capelin!
Hey, good luck.

The fish is not big, only more than ten centimeters, much smaller than mackerel, but Bi Fang is still smiling. Since he caught squid and had meat bait, his "sea fishing" business has been smooth sailing. He actually caught fish two days in a row. Don't worry about food.

More importantly, this situation will get better and better, because both mackerel and capelin have blood in their bodies, as well as viscera with a strong pungent smell, which are more suitable for fishing, and maybe even more fish can be caught in the future. Big fish, such as North Atlantic salmon, can be eaten for a few days!
[It's over, let Lao Fang eat it again]

[Day, your mother, come here to buy some goods? 】

【what fish is this? 】

【The king of sea fishing,】

[Hey, I seem to have seen it before, it seems to be sold in our vegetable market here]

"Yes, capelin is called capelin in foreign countries. In China, it is called capelin fish. The name sounds quite nice. It tastes delicious and has a wide range of branches. It is a good economic fish species."

Bi Fang quickly threw the hook down. Capelin is also a social animal and is very active. It also eats frequently in winter, eating small shrimps or plankton. He hopes to catch more.

The most important thing is that this thing is a good bait. Animals such as cod, whales, seals, dolphins, sharks, tuna and squid like to eat it, and they have no right to fish.

[Fuck, does that mean that this fish is particularly delicious in disguise? 】

[Clear thinking, well-founded, no flaws, worth a try]

[It is very delicious, my mother often buys it. 】

The last squid had all its tentacles stripped off, and Bi Fang could not catch fish every time. Often the line was pulled up, the hook broke, or the bait ran out.

In order to catch mackerel before, he used up two cuttlefish bones and eight squid tendrils. Afterwards, Bi Fang did not use cuttlefish bones to polish the hook, but used real bones.

The jawbones of the two mackerel were harder and more malleable than cuttlebone.

But this time Bi Fang didn't spend too much time on fishing. He caught three capelin in total, and felt that it was almost done, so he collected his things and left.

Capelin is the bait of many animals, and it is easy to encounter some animals that cannot be dealt with, such as large sharks, if you stay here all the time.

Thinking of this, Bi Fang hurriedly propped up the tent and continued to move forward under the strong wind.

The wind is blowing.

But what no one noticed was that not long after Bi Fang left, a huge shadow slipped across the water, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the capelin fish suddenly.

"puff!"

"Hoo, cool!"

Bi Fang put his hands on his hips, his skin was slightly darker than a week ago, but his eyes were shining brightly, looking radiant.

After a few days of living at sea, he already looked like a seaman, and maybe it would be even darker in a few days.

Facing the cold sea breeze, Bi Fang didn't feel cold. He was warm all over after eating the food, and he was not afraid of the cold wind at all.

Moreover, the fish king's stomach digests the food very cleanly, and the calories increase rapidly.

It is also because of the stomach pouch that Bi Fang can eat raw food without any scruples, otherwise he will definitely try to minimize the danger, such as drying the fish into dried fish, etc. Although the taste is poor, and it is still not 100% safe, but The probability will be very small.

"Sure enough, the hardest part of the survival mission is actually the first few days. When you first come to a new environment, your mentality and body cannot adapt, and you don't have enough production materials, so it is difficult to form a survival advantage. But once you pass the first few days , you will find that survival is not as difficult as you think."

On the sixth day of survival at sea, everything is getting better, and the distance from the mainland is getting closer and closer. Maybe it is really possible to encounter the mainland within 21 days, and the closer to the shore, the greater the probability of encountering a small island.

Bi Fang divided the difficulty of survival into several levels. The hardest part of this 20-day-a-month survival mission is the first week. If there are no accidents, the probability of survival will be very high.

Of course, this probability is based on the fact that the first seven days were not hard work. If the first seven days were based on fighting hunger, then there is a high probability that it will be more difficult every day, which is the legendary ups and downs...

Oh, not even rising, just falling.

If the survival time is extended a little longer, the second difficult period will probably appear in the second month. At that time, people will face nutritional problems and psychological problems. Long-term high-pressure survival will lead to mental breakdown.

If you can survive this, then you are indeed a natural talent, strong willpower, and rich experience. You only need to worry about illness and the psychological pressure you face when you live alone for a long time.

After riding the wind and waves for a few hours, the sky is getting late.

As the setting sun spreads down, a layer of gloomy crimson flows on the winter ocean, and the waves undulate, reflecting the dazzling light, as if sprinkled with a layer of broken gold.

Bi Fang squinted his eyes, and was about to put down the tent to rest, when he suddenly noticed a vague shadow in the distance.

what?
Bi Fang stood up and looked around, trying to see more clearly, but the direction over there was facing the sunset, which looked dazzling and blurry.

The program team also noticed Bi Fang's abnormality, and quickly lifted the drone into the air, followed his line of sight to shoot, and at the same time magnified the impact. The audience in the live broadcast room looked around curiously. As the picture became clearer, many people grew up. Mouth.

That turned out to be an island! ! !
[It's an island! 】

[Old Fang!It's the island! 】

[C'mon, c'mon, it's an island! 】

[Old Fang is cool! 】

The bullet screens are as numerous as tsunamis, and almost all of them are brushing the appearance of islands.

The platform quickly sent a notification, and the content showed that it was the sixth day of drifting at sea, and the island was discovered!
After being notified, more curious viewers flooded in, and the number of viewers surged. It didn't take long for the number of viewers worldwide to exceed 200 million, not including those watching TV.

Drifting at sea unexpectedly encountered an island!
What luck!

According to what Bi Fang said, the person who lived at sea for more than 100 days has never met him!

Peter opened his mouth wide. He couldn't believe that Fang Shen found the island in only six days. He is indeed his idol!

so amazing!

Bi Fang was also shocked in his heart, knowing that he was a blind cat who ran into a dead mouse, and found a small island completely by mistake.

Gaze from Lady Luck.jpg!

Without the slightest hesitation, Bi Fang quickly adjusted the direction of the sail and headed towards the island, but before reaching that point, the wind became weaker and weaker, until it was dark, and he was still far away from the island.

Damn, why is there no wind suddenly? How strong is it during a storm?

Withered so quickly?

Bi Fang was a little dissatisfied. When the author needs it, there is no wind, and when he is exhausted, there will be a storm, right?

With no other choice, Bi Fang had no choice but to put down the sail and row towards the island with both hands.

Wang Shan ran dead horses, this is true, not only that, Wang Dao can also kill Bi Fang.

After paddling for a long time, Bi Fang collapsed in the life raft, almost sticking out his tongue and rolling his eyes: "I can't do it, I'm almost exhausted!"

[Why can't it work! 】

[Fang Shen stands up!The island is close at hand! 】

[Start with a life raft, all equipment depends on picking up]

【Fangshen, what are you doing, Fangshen! 】

[Don't stop! 】

Seeing the bullet screen, Bi Fang almost vomited blood. From just now to now, he has rowed almost a kilometer, which is equivalent to running 5000 meters, and his arms are extremely sore.

But the island was right in front of him, how could he give up, after resting for a while, Bi Fang quickly got up and continued paddling.

The sun has completely set, and the stars in the sky can barely tell the direction, but it is also very difficult. If you are not careful, you will easily deviate from the direction. Bi Fang is worried while paddling, for fear that he will paddle in the wrong direction. Fortunately, there are audiences who can help him , I can also open a small hook to observe the position of the island through the night vision mode.

three hours later.

"I-I can't do it anymore."

Bi Fang curled up in the life raft like a dead dog, sticking out his tongue and sweating all over. He was still a few hundred meters away from the island, but he couldn't move anymore.

Who said that paddling is easy, but it is obviously exhausting.

Don't say paddling is easy in the future!
Paddle is the most tiring one!

[How can a man say no? 】

[Is this not enough?No way, no way, no one can swim more than ten kilometers, right? 】

[It’s only a dozen kilometers, Lao Fang, what are you doing to eat, get up and paddle! 】

Bi Fang was powerless to complain, he was so tired that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence, he fell asleep and remained motionless until half an hour later, he suddenly woke up.

It's over, almost fell asleep, don't get washed away by the fucking waves!
Bi Fang shuddered and got up quickly, only to find that he was already approaching the island under the action of the waves.

Only ten meters left!

Great!
Although he was very happy, Bi Fang, who was close to the island, did not rush to go ashore. Instead, he observed the surrounding environment. Don't cut the life raft because of some reef, or the loss outweighs the gain.

With the faint moonlight, Bi Fang could barely see the shape of the island.

The island is very small, very small, how small is it, it is about the size of a villa...

【What a small island...】

[I'm afraid there are no animals on this island, right? 】

[doubtful]

【Can't live at all】

However, no matter how small the island is, Bi Fang is not disappointed. It is a great thing to meet the island. People have drifted for more than 100 days without encountering it, but I can encounter it in six days. It is already a piece of shit luck.

Of course, this may also be the reason for the proximity to the mainland.

The probability of encountering islands in the depths of the ocean is very small, but it is different when approaching the mainland, and the number of islands will increase significantly.

Bi Fang is already satisfied, because there are trees on this island!

If you can't stay, then make a supply station.

Tree = tool = better living environment = challenge is easier to succeed√
Plan pass.
