Live Wilderness Challenge

Then, he chose a road in a different direction from the morning.

"This island has four directions in total. The reef I climbed is at the easternmost end, and the beach where I live is at the southernmost end of the island. The place I came to in the morning is close to the center of the island. So this time, I decided to head west first. have a look."

About half an hour later, Chen Xu found a hare again.

"Brothers, have you seen it? It's another wild rabbit. I don't know if it's the one in the morning. You see, it's very alert. When I walked more than ten meters away, it spotted me."

He walked over, looked at the fleeing back of the hare, shook his head and smiled: "Let's stop wasting time on it, and find a water source first!"

I searched the vicinity for a long time.

Finally, Chen Xu found a small water pool at the bottom of a rock.

"Finally found!"

He looked a little excited, "This is where water seeps from the rocks. You can see from the white minerals and 'tick, tick' water droplets that the water is drinkable, and it should be filtered from underground salt water. "

Chen Xu hastily filled a bucket with a bamboo tube, and gulped it down twice, "Phew... it's real water to quench your thirst, and this water is rich in minerals. It tastes much better than the tap water at home!"

"Take these first, enough for me to drink for a whole day, wait for us to cut the bamboo, bring a few more bamboo tubes, and then carry a lot!"

He was very happy when he found the water source.

But when he was about to leave, he suddenly discovered that there were several footprints beside the pool.

Chen Xu walked over, looked at it, and looked a little dignified, "It's not a good situation, look at this mark, it's not the footprint of a hare, because it's not so big, and it's not so deep, it's hoofed Animal footprints."

"Hoofed animals are famous for being good at running, but although this island is not small, it is not big either. According to the theory of biological evolution, the hoofed animals that can survive here should not be large hoofed animals, but we still have to be careful."

"Damn it, this island is quite uneven!"

"It's okay, Lord Xu has a stone ax and tools, as long as he doesn't meet a tiger or a lion, who can beat him!"

"This is just an island, so there probably won't be any dangerous creatures!"

Chen Xu agreed when he saw the barrage.

Afterwards, he returned to the bamboo forest with the bamboo tube, and then chopped a few more bamboos with the stone axe, and carried them back to the campsite together.

When we arrived at the campsite, most of the afternoon had passed.

He inserted the water source in the sand, "Although the mineral water is very clean, we cannot guarantee that the water in the pool will not be mixed with bacteria, so we try to boil it to drink."

"However, bamboo will split when burned directly, and I didn't bring a military kettle with me this time. However, I know a way to make a vessel that is not afraid of fire, and that is pottery!"

"Huaxia's English name in the world is China, which translates to ceramics, and pottery, as a utensil technology inherited from ancient times, is both simple and difficult to say."

"The difficulty is that it is an art to burn pottery to look good, but it is much easier to burn pottery for use. We only need mud and fire to burn out the simplest clay. pottery!"

The audience in the live broadcast room were stunned when they heard it:

"Nimma, is there anyone more awesome than Master Xu, who has started making pots and pans?"

"666, if you build a table and a chair, you can settle down!"

"Surviving on the island is like a vacation to Lord Xu!"

Regarding this, Chen Xu shook his head and smiled, "However, ordinary clay is easily broken when used to make clay pottery. We must use clay. The soil quality of this kind of soil is very fine, and it is like plasticine when it meets water. , it is easy to pinch, and it will stick together, the gap between the particles is small, and the baking efficiency is high."

"However, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish what is clay. I am here to teach you a very simple method, which is to use mud from rivers and seasides. Because they have been washed by running water for many years, the soil will become very fine. It is the best way to make clay pottery. One of the ideal materials!"

While talking, he took the coconut shell and walked quickly to the beach. Since the bamboo tube was used as a water storage tool, the coconut shell has been reduced to a digging tool.

"Now, I'm going to go into the sea and dig the mud up."

After the words fell, Chen Xu walked into the sea water and plunged headlong into it.

The shallow ground is full of sand, so he can only go to deep places to dig.

After dozens of seconds, he surfaced and dug out a coconut shell full of brown-black mud, "These are not enough, we need to make a few more, so that even if it explodes, we will have a spare!"

In the end, Chen Xu dug a total of three big pieces, just enough to make three.

Then, he put the soil on the rock workbench, squeezed out the seawater, and started kneading it like dough.

After a little more than ten minutes, a huge "dough" of brown soil was combined.

"Don't tell me, Master Xu has been a chef before, this mud ball is very well-proportioned!"

"MD, I'm actually hungry!"

"Haha, I don't know if Master Xu is hungry and will eat this as a steamed bun!"

"666, eat dirt, don't you just eat the earth!"

Chapter 141 Finally Drinking Soup

"Anyway, waiting for the clay pot to be fired requires adding firewood all the time, so it's better to find something to do while we have time." Chen Xu looked at the barrage, speechless.

Then, he said to the drone: "The most difficult part of making clay pots is to make the shape, because we don't have a pottery turntable, so it is difficult for some people to directly pinch the shape of a clay pot, even if they can pinch it, It also looks very irregular, and it is easy to burst when it is baked."

"Here, I will teach you a very simple method of making shapes, which is to squeeze out a round and flat chassis first, and then rub out long strips with mud. Each long strip is connected into a circle by itself, and then these mud circles Build up from the chassis one by one, and it becomes the shape of a clay pot!"

The chassis was easy to pinch. He directly dunked a small mud ball from the big mud ball, rounded it in his hands, and then pressed it on the stone workbench.

The mud ball naturally becomes a flat chassis.

Afterwards, Chen Xu began to demonstrate to everyone one by one according to the steps he said.

From the big mud ball, a mud rope was rubbed out, and then connected head to tail, glued into a mud ring the same size as the base, and slowly placed on the base.

After lightly pressing, the mud ring is glued to the base.

In this way, the mud rings stuck one after another, and the soil embryo was quickly piled up to a considerable height.

After about 20 centimeters of sticking, a cylindrical clay pot soil embryo is ready!

After 10 minutes, Chen Xu made a total of three clay pots.

"After we make the soil embryo and let it dry, we can also use other materials to polish some edges and corners on the sides, so that the shape of the clay pot will be more symmetrical. Here, I use the scallop shells left over from lunch, because the scallop shells are mainly The ingredient is calcium carbonate, which is ground on the soil embryo and can also play a reinforcing role.”

The soil embryos of the three clay pots gradually dried and became hard.

He then used the back of the scallop to polish the surfaces of the three clay pots in a circle.

Since he learned how to make tools, his ability to make tools is obviously much better than before.

After a few laps, the three clay pots of almost the same size were basically smooth and flat on the surface. Because of the relationship between the scallops, white calcium carbonate powder shone on the brown-black soil surface. .

"2333, I'm playing mud in the northeast!"

"Looks like three urinals!"

"It's so awesome, I admire this skill!"

Chen Xu smiled, and then put three earthen pottery into the fire, and filled it with a bunch of new branches, and the flame burned bigger and bigger.

"Generally, a kiln is required for firing pottery pots. Ordinary fires can also be used, but the heating is not as uniform as a kiln, and the failure rate is relatively high, so I glued three spares. The molding temperature of pottery pots must be at least 700 -800 degrees heat, which can only be achieved in a large campfire, so we have to keep adding firewood to expand the flame temperature!"

During the time of speaking, the fire has been burning bigger and bigger, and it seems to be close to two meters.

The surrounding air has been distorted by transpiration, sending out waves of heat, which is enough to explain the temperature of this campfire.

"At such a high temperature, the clay pot needs to be fired for at least 4-5 hours. We don't have to keep looking at it, we just need to add firewood to it regularly."

"It's almost evening now, I have to find a way to get something to eat and replenish my strength!"

While talking, Chen Xu came to the beach again while holding a harpoon.

But obviously, luck is not always there. After waiting for a long time, he did not see a sea fish.

Helpless, he had no choice but to pick up a few old coconuts, break them open, and eat the pulp inside.

Coconut meat is also rich in a certain amount of fat, protein and starch. Although it is not as good as meat, it is almost the same if you eat a few more.

However, Chen Xu was still a little unhappy when he didn't eat meat, and he couldn't help thinking about those hares, but that would have to wait until tomorrow.

In the evening, while waiting for the clay pots to be fired, he began to chop some bamboo joints and made a fence around his shack. Because of the abundance of materials, he inserted a large number of bushes and branches in the gaps. .

On the whole, it looks much stronger than the one made in the tropical rainforest last time.

It was almost 5 hours in the middle of the night.

Chen Xu gradually stopped adding firewood.

The fire got smaller and smaller, and three clay pots were exposed.

He immediately picked up the wooden tongs that held the rocks before, took out the three clay pots one by one, and put them on the sand to cool down.

The audience can see through the drone that one of the clay pots seems to be broken, with many fine lines cracked from the outside.

Chen Xu looked at the clay pot and shook his head, "Unfortunately, the heat was uneven and it cracked, but it's okay, at least we still have two intact ones!"

After more than ten minutes, the remaining two clay pots finally cooled down.

The fully formed clay pots were dark brown. He picked up one of them and tapped it lightly with his fingers, and it made a crisp "pound pound" sound, just like the old-fashioned earthen flower pots at home.

The audience couldn't help typing a bunch of "666".

"Let's see how it's going to be!"

Chen Xu chuckled, found a pile of stones, built a stove, put the clay pot on it, and poured a small half-full of fresh water.

Maybe it was a mischief, and he took out two small sand crabs from the high tide beach, peeled off their shells, dug out the excrement, and then threw them into the clay pot.

After 4 minutes, the water in the clay pot started to make a "gurgling" sound, apparently about to boil.

When it was completely boiling, Chen Xu took it down.

Because the thermal conductivity of clay pots is average, as long as you hold the top edge of the pot, it will not be hot at all.

After letting it cool down a bit, he picked up the clay pot and took a sip, "Well! I can finally drink hot water, and with these two small crabs, it tastes good too. This is the first sip of soup you'll have after you've been to the island!"

"666, living in the wilderness, you can still drink soup!"

"2333, Master Xu will burn another kang one day, and sleep better!"

"Boy holding Tao: A Xu!"

"If you don't hold it firmly, it will be a miracle if it breaks, haha!"

After drinking a pot of soup that was not considered soup, Chen Xu finally felt a lot better. After chatting with the audience for more than an hour, he downloaded the broadcast.

With the fence, he slept much more comfortably in the shack at night than yesterday.

At dawn on the third day, the audience sneaked into Chen Xu's live broadcast room on time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered, they saw a person swimming tossing and turning in the sea.

After seeing clearly, I realized that it was Master Xu.

Nima, is he... swimming in the sea?

Chapter 142 Changing from Melee to Ranged

"Wo Cao! Master Xu, what are you doing?"

"Master Xu actually has a face full of enjoyment!"

"Master Xu, you are really enough. You came to the island to survive, but you actually swim!"

Chen Xu came out of the water, looked at the drone, wiped his face, and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't make fun of me. I also went to find something to eat underwater, but I couldn't find it. I just went for a swim. There is no other way. The climate in the tropics is just too hot."

"It's not unavoidable to suffer from heat stroke, so it's good to swim more. When the sea water evaporates, it will take away the heat from your body surface, thereby quickly cooling your body down."

While talking, he swam back and walked to the beach, "Don't underestimate the tropical sun, it can be said to be very poisonous. If the skin is exposed to the sun for a long time, it will cause sunburn, dryness, and peeling. Wait for the symptoms, just like my arm, over time, it will bleed and get infected."

"However, I have a good method here, which is to apply sunscreen. Everyone knows that the pulp of old coconuts has a high oil content. We can crush the pulp of coconuts with stones and apply them on sunburned skin. "

"Coconut oil can effectively moisturize dry and cracked skin, and it can also reflect sunlight and ultraviolet rays, which is very practical!"

I saw that in the footage of the drone, Chen Xu was eating the coconut pulp while crushing the remaining coconut pulp and applying it on the reddish skin.

The audience in the live broadcast room were stunned when they saw this scene:

"My God, Master Xu's life! He's still oiled!"

"The hot eye scene completely destroyed my fantasy of oiling up my bikini on the beach!"

"666, I am the only one who can make every step of island survival so detailed!"
