Shooting the sun from the three-body

Chapter 27 To be or not to be, that is the question

School of fish is coming!

The school of fish that Xiao Yi and the others had longed for finally arrived.

"Quick, where's the fishing rod? We're going to go fishing, there are fish!" Ding Yi shouted excitedly, and he hurriedly looked for the fishing rod, causing the lifeboat to shake.

The captain shouted: "Don't go looking for a fishing rod, you can't catch this kind of fish migration, make a harpoon, use a harpoon!"

Xiao Yi had already picked up the wooden stick, then bent his bow and set his arrow, and aimed at the place where the fish school was densest.

"have to!"

Xiao Yi let go of the bow string, and the wooden stick shot out instantly, then penetrated under the sea surface and pierced into the fish.

A few unlucky fish were instantly pierced by the powerful force, and the surrounding sea fish were immediately stunned by the powerful shock wave and floated up.

The captain was dumbfounded.

so scary?
"Don't be dazed, hurry up, if we don't take advantage of this time to catch more fish, we won't have this chance!" Ding Yi immediately tied the sailor knife to the wood pulp with a rope.

Afterwards, he raised the harpoon and plunged into the water, but the refraction of the sea made him miss it.

"Don't stick like this!"

The captain also made a harpoon, and then inserted it straight into the sea surface, and then poked a fat sea fish. When the sea fish was taken out of the sea, it was still struggling.

Ding Yi slapped his head: "How can I forget what I learned in junior high school?"

Light will be refracted on the water surface, so a certain angle is required when inserting fish.

After understanding this point, Ding Yi also became more comfortable. The three of them kept fishing, which kept the fish away from them.

Fortunately the captain tied a rope to the end of the harpoon and shot it like a javelin, hitting the fish and pulling it back.

But doing so only drove the fish farther and farther away from them, but it saved their lives.

Just as they were fishing diligently, a huge mouth of the abyss suddenly emerged from the bottom of the sea, and everyone held their breath, because that scene was so terrifying.

It was a huge mouth, constantly floating up from the bottom of the sea, as if it wanted to swallow the entire sky.

Everyone stood still, and then they saw a huge mouth burst out of the sea and swallowed a large number of sea fish.

That's a whale!
Giant whale!

"It has appeared, it has appeared!" The captain was extremely surprised, the whale appeared!

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Ding Yi reminded Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi's divine bow has accumulated enough energy to shoot that terrifying arrow!

But Xiao Yi was hesitating.

Are you really going to kill this whale?

"Don't hesitate, kill! We are at the moment of life and death!" Ding Yi was merciless. First, they wanted to survive, and second, he was not the one who did it.

Xiao Yi is also very clear.

To live or to perish, that is the question.

Lose your humanity, lose a lot, lose your bestiality, lose everything.

Only by killing it can they escape.

Just like a big whale devouring a small fish, it's just for survival.

Xiao Yi pulled the bowstring, thinking of only one word:

Shoot!

Afterwards, Xiao Yi let go of the bowstring.

···
The whale that appeared before them was dead and floating on the sea like a hill.

Countless fish and shrimps come to eat this giant whale. This is the whale fall.

The death of one whale can feed countless marine life.

Soon, the shark also came to take a share, and was shot and killed by Xiao Yi.

To live or to perish, that is the question.

In order for oneself to survive, it can only destroy other lives.

This is what the Trisolarans thought. Xiao Yi knew that in this Trisolaran world, after countless years, several spaceships from the star system would escape from the solar system, and then they fought for fuel and supplies.

People who are not in that environment will not understand that human beings are still animals after all, and they will draw out their animal instincts at critical moments of life and death.

Ding Yi sighed, seeing the loss of life of such a huge creature, he was also very emotional.

"Tomorrow, let's start our plan."

The three of them fell asleep, and the next morning, they woke up, and looked eagerly at the direction where the whale died. The huge mountain was still there, and more and more fish and shrimps came to eat the whale's body.

"We have to act fast, otherwise the whale will sink to the bottom of the sea by the time it's eaten up."

"Then what should we do?" Xiao Yi asked Ding Yi.

He is the only scientist among the three, and now everyone is under his command.

"Whale skin, whale oil, blubber, and baleen are all what we need. Stop talking nonsense and start acting."

All three can swim, and they acted immediately. The captain was responsible for cutting the meat and drying it to make jerky.

Xiao Yi was in charge of cutting raw materials from the whale carcass, such as whale skin and whalebone.

Ding Yi began to modify the lifeboat. He found six long and thick oars in the lifeboat. He fixed the oars around the lifeboat with ropes so that they formed a "well" structure.

Then it was reinforced with wooden boards, and the whale skin cut by Xiao Yi was laid on it, and a new hull was made.

Of course, the whale skin is not laid flat, but has a certain curvature, which looks like an inflatable kayak, but it fully expands the lifeboat by more than three times.

With this expansion, the lifeboat becomes larger and can hold more supplies.

A few people were so busy until it was dark that they finally made a larger whale skin lifeboat. Afterwards, they scooped out the water in the whale skin and sewed it with baleen.

Later, Xiao Yi got a whale bladder, which could better increase the buoyancy of their new ship.

It took them a total of three or four days to modify the lifeboat. This is because Xiao Yi used the extremely sharp bowstring of the Sun Shooting God Bow, which also allowed the various materials Xiao Yi cut to be intact.

Three days later, a brand new whale skin lifeboat was made. Not only that, they also made small sails out of whale bones and skin, so that they could use the wind to move forward.

But only if the wind blows in the direction they need.

The whale skin lifeboat was more than three times larger than before, and each of them could have a small bedroom. In addition, they also stored a lot of meat. The captain's task was to dry the meat every day.

A lot of whale oil and blubber have also been stored, but it is still far away from the steamship Ding Yi dreams of.

"Wood, we are so short of wood! Now all we can do is use this whale skin boat to move forward as much as possible."

Another day later, when a southwest wind blew on the sea, they immediately raised their small sails. Under the action of the wind, their whale skin lifeboat finally started to move forward. Although the speed was not very fast, it was faster than drifting. Much sooner.

"Just keep going and hope to pick up some marine debris."
