Infinite Disaster Survival.
Chapter 50
It was the black box that was brought to the ground by Tuantuan.
At this moment, Tuantuan who flew over was using his body to push the box with all his strength, obviously wanting to hand over the box to Wen Zheng.
Sometimes animals are more sensitive than humans, and Wen Zheng deeply understands this truth.After taking the box from the rock wall for so long, Wen Zheng didn't feel anything special about the box, only the original owner left the feeling that this thing is very important.
But Tuantuan is different. From the day he got the black box, he likes to lie on it, and he has to lie on it for several hours every day to get enough.Not long after that, Tuantuan, who lay on the black box every day, began to develop again, and his body shape, sharp claws, and beak became more aggressive. Of course, the biggest change was Tuantuan's IQ.
Knowing to wake up Wen Zheng who was having a nightmare, and wanting to hand over the black box to Wen Zheng, and even being able to understand some of Wen Zheng's words, all kinds of performances are not something ordinary birds can have.These changes all show that Tuantuan has evolved unconsciously, and this evolution is also related to the black box.
Wen Zheng walked over, carried the black box and Tuantuan back to the place in front of the earthen stove, looked down carefully.
It's a pity that no matter how much he looked at it, Wen Zheng didn't have much feeling for the box, and he couldn't find an opening to open the box.He thought for a while and put the box on his lap, raised the well-behaved Tuan Tuan with both hands, and looked directly into Tuantuan's eyes. The beautiful black eyes were full of dependence. Facing Wen Zheng's actions, Tuantuan didn't resist at all. Only a short tweet made Wen Zheng hear doubts from inside.
"Tuantuan, can you understand what I'm saying?" Wen Zheng put the group on the black box and said seriously, "If you understand it, call once, if you don't understand, call twice."
Under Wen Zheng's nervous gaze, Tuantuan tilted his head and yelled, but before Wen Zheng could be surprised, Tuantuan continued to yell, not once or twice, but five short yells in a row.After getting along for a long time, Wen Zheng can understand the meaning of certain calls of Tuantuan, which means that it is hungry.
"Okay, okay, let's cook later." Wen Zheng comforted. Before cooking, he wanted to find out how much Tuantuan could understand now. "Tuantuan, do you like this box very much? If yes, let me know." If not, call twice." Wen Zheng put Tuantuan on his left leg, then pointed to the black box on his right leg.
Tuantuan was at a loss for Wen Zheng's question. Although he became smarter and understood a lot of things, the difference between human language and bird language is still relatively large. He understood his own name when he said Wen Zheng's words. He also understood Wen Zheng's movements, so he flapped his wings and flew up, trying to push the black box that made him feel comfortable into Wen Zheng's arms.
Even if he didn't get an answer, Wen Zheng already got the answer from Tuantuan's actions.
When Wen Zheng wanted to cook, so he wanted to put the black box beside him, Tuantuan fluttered his wings again to ask him not to let go.In the end, there was no other way. Wen Zheng found a rope and tied the black box around his waist. It hindered his movement a little, and it was a little unattractive, but he didn't care about it in the cave.
Speaking of which, during the days when he obtained the black box, although he spent most of his time in the same cave, Wen Zheng hardly ever touched it, let alone having close contact with Tuantuan for several hours a day.
Perhaps this is the reason why Tuantuan has evolved, but he hasn't changed in any way.
As for whether this box is harmful to the body, Wen Zheng believes that Tuantuan will not harm himself, and he will always pay attention to the changes in his body, and if there is something wrong, he will give up contact.
For the next few days, the rain continued to fall.Wen Zheng's body didn't get fever again, only some cold symptoms of stuffy nose and cough, and he had only one solution to this, which was to drink more hot water.
This kind of leisure time, nothing to be busy with, often makes people feel too quiet and lonely,
Wen Zheng dug out the shark teeth that hadn't been used until now on the shelf, rubbed his fingers lightly to feel their sharpness, and simulated in his mind how to use these teeth to make weapons.
The only light source in the cave is the dry firewood burning in the earthen stove. As time goes by, the flame inside gradually becomes smaller, and the cave, which is not bright enough, becomes darker and darker, and the temperature also drops.
A familiar pain came from his arm. Wen Zheng, who was in deep thought, woke up and lowered his head to ask Tuantuan what he was going to do. He saw Tuantuan flying to the dry firewood in the corner. After thinking for two seconds, Wen Zheng realized that Tuantuan was really reminded. The flames were almost extinguished.
This person and one bird are now able to communicate smoothly. Human language and bird language cannot communicate smoothly, but actions can express the meaning of both parties very well, especially Wen Zheng, who is about to reach the tenth level in his actions against Tuantuan.
Wen Zheng stood up, revealing the black box tied to his body. He went to a corner and took some dry firewood to add to it. The firelight illuminated his eyes, and also dyed the feathers of the balls with a warm yellow light. Like adding a warm filter, it looks extra warm and peaceful.
Outside the cave, it is windy and rainy, but in the cave, the years are quiet.
It rained continuously, intermittently for several days.In the past few days, Wen Zheng went out to have a look when the rain stopped. The two wild boars stayed in the pigsty obediently, so he added some feed to them. The crops in the farmland also had no major problems. The terrain is relatively high, and the rainwater flows to the low-lying places.Then Wen Zheng dug some soil into the wide bamboo tube, dug a mint tree from outside the cave and planted it in, and also placed it next to the black box.
A person, a bird, and a mint all surround the black box every day, and keep in close contact with the black box.Until the continuous rain stopped and the soft sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the bamboo curtains, Wen Zheng still didn't notice the black box had any effect on him. He didn't feel any discomfort or any good changes in his body.
Also unchanged is the mint plant, which has not changed in appearance. When a leaf is picked off, it still tastes like ordinary mint.Even because it grows in a bamboo tube that is not big enough, it doesn't have the spirit to grow it outside.
Wen Zheng has a guess—this box is specially effective for certain animals, and has little effect on plants and humans.
When the bamboo curtain was opened, the humid air came in. Looking at the scenery outside, Wen Zheng involuntarily became happier.
Outside the cave are shrubs planted in bamboo baskets. There are many sweet red fruits falling on the ground, and small ants are climbing on them.In the farmland washed by the rain, the crops that have just germinated seem to grow a little taller than before.
Wen Zheng's scanning eyes suddenly stopped, the farmland was a little far away from the cave, and the seedlings of the crops were very short, how could he see that they had grown taller, and he could still see them so clearly.Move your eyes and look around. In the grassland in front of you, through the gaps between the weeds, you can see the soil being arched by some kind of creature. Soon the creature appeared on the ground, it was a fat earthworm.
Covering his eyes, Wen Zheng continued to look around after a while, wearing slippers he picked up from the garbage on his feet, and a ball on his shoulders, walking slowly from the cave to the beach, his eyes were full of novelty towards infinity .
He had never seen the world so clearly.
To use an inappropriate metaphor for Wen Zheng's current feeling, it is that people who have been short-sighted for a long time suddenly have their eyes closed.
He is sure that this body is not short-sighted, and the current situation can only be explained by the strengthening of vision. Perhaps it has changed in the past few days in the cave, but the cave is dark and there is less time to use the eyes. Wen Zheng didn't notice this change in advance.
Wen Zheng's eyes evolved during the five days of No.80 on a deserted island.
Compared with the huge changes in Tuantuan, this change in vision enhancement is insignificant, but it is a strong proof that the black box works.
I really want to know what changes the black box will cause to the body, but the black box is tied to the body all the time, which slightly hinders the movement.
After discovering that Tuantuan stayed near the black box for a few hours every day, Wen Zheng and Tuantuan had a difficult communication, basically relying on guesswork. He guessed that Tuantuan was frightened by Wen Zheng's sick appearance, so Wen Zheng let Wen Zheng in those few days. Always take it with you.But according to Tuantuan's own feeling, he only needs to lie on it for a short while every day.
So Wen Zheng would do some other work every day during the day, that is, every night when he fell asleep, there would be a black box next to his bed.And there is not only Tuantuan beside the bed, but also the bamboo tube planted with mint, the experiment will continue.
Several days of rain caused some railings outside the cave to tilt. The pigsty that had just been built had the same problem. It took three days for Wen Zheng to solve all the problems caused by the rain, and weaved it out of palm leaves. I replaced the plastic sheet on the pigsty with a rain curtain, and then cleaned the plastic sheet several times by the sea.
It was only at this time that Wen Zheng got used to his enhanced eyesight, and being able to see things that he couldn't normally see, suddenly added a lot of interest.
Without the pressure of survival, Wen Zheng, who was finally free, set his goal on making paper.Life without soft paper is really uncomfortable. Life on a deserted island is not as comfortable as modern society. It is even more miserable than traveling to ancient times. Wen Zheng hopes that the next world can be a normal modern society.
It is indeed very painful to have no paper and no cloth, but it will not make people unable to live, so the matter of making paper has been postponed until now.In fact, before paper was invented, high-status people would use cloth, but Wen Zheng didn't know much about weaving, but he knew a little about papermaking.
What Wen Zheng wants to make is not paper for writing, so he doesn't need to worry too much about the materials needed to make paper.Perhaps the quality of the paper produced is far inferior to modern paper, but as long as it is softer than leaves, even if it is as hard as writing paper, or it will rot if you rub it with your hands, for Wen Zheng He is satisfied.
Before making paper, you need to choose the right material. Bark, hemp, vines, etc. can all be used as raw materials for paper making, but what Wen Zheng plans to use is bamboo.When I was in college, I traveled with my classmates and went to a small town where bamboo paper was made. Not only did I listen to the people there tell about the steps of making bamboo paper, but I also experienced some of the steps by myself.
In addition to bamboo, the most important material used in the papermaking process is lime.As early as in the book "Tiangong Kaiwu", there are steps for making bamboo paper, which are still applicable in modern society, but some changes have been made in modern times, that is, lime is added in the step of finishing, thereby reducing the need for finishing. time.If it is purely soaked, it will take more than 100 days to complete the greening, but with the help of lime, the time is greatly reduced.
Then, before making bamboo paper, Wen Zheng needs to get out lime, and lime also has the effect of disinfection.Lime can always be seen in daily life, and the method of making lime is not difficult. When I was in school, I recited the "Lime Song" which was written about the method of making lime. It is difficult to carve out deep mountains with thousands of hammers and burn them like nothing. Lime is obtained when limestone is forged by fire.
In fact, it doesn't have to be limestone, as long as it is a product with a high calcium carbonate content, including limestone, dolomite and various shells, lime can be obtained after calcination.
Shells are the most abundant on the beach, and there is also a lot of limestone on the gravel mountain, so there is no shortage of raw materials.The reason why Wen Zheng didn't make paper for so long was because the whole process was too troublesome, but he has time now.
It took two days to collect enough limestone and enough wood from the gravel mountain, and cleared out an open space. Wen Zheng put a layer of limestone and a layer of dry firewood, so that the layering can burn more evenly. Lime can be obtained by burning the wood for a week.
During the week of calcining the lime, Wen Zheng still needed to dig a big pit to soak the bamboo, while Tuantuan's rebellion continued.Seeing that Wenzheng didn't go out very much, Tuantuan didn't stay at home with Wenzheng. After obtaining Wenzheng's consent, he flew to the direction of the bamboo forest every day, and after a few hours passed, he came back with a wound.
Tuantuan is no longer an ordinary bird. Even if Wen Zheng is worried about Tuantuan's safety, he will not stop him from doing what he wants to do.
The effect of the black box is not shown on the plants at all, it is only a clearer vision on Wen Zheng, but it is very obvious on Tuantuan.After a wealth of actual combat training, Tuantuan had fewer and fewer new wounds, but brought back more and more "trophies", and those "trophies" were bird feathers.
Seeing that the limestone was almost burnt and the pit had been dug, Wenzheng and Tuantuan went to the bamboo forest on the mountain together.
The bamboo forest on the mountain is suitable for making bamboo paper. Moso bamboo is divided into male and female, which can be distinguished by the bamboo branches growing on the bamboo pole. If only one bamboo branch grows in a position, it is a male bamboo. If multiple bamboo branches grow, it is a female bamboo. bamboo.
Usually the texture of male bamboo is relatively hard. The bamboo Wen Zheng uses to build the pigsty is all male bamboo, but to make paper, of course, he must choose the softer female bamboo.The texture of new bamboos and old bamboos is also different. It is necessary to choose not only female bamboos, but also young new bamboos.
In the bamboo forest, Wen Zheng carefully identified the male and female, the old and the young, and carefully cut down and collected the water from the bamboo inside. However, Tuantuan flew away as soon as he arrived in the bamboo forest.Don't think about it, it must have been fighting with other birds.
After cutting the bamboos to the same length and tying them into neat bundles with ropes, Wen Zheng yelled to the surroundings twice, then sat on the ground to drink water and rest, using his upgraded eyesight to appreciate the beauty of the bamboo forest, which gave him a brand new feeling.
After waiting for too long, Tuantuan flew back triumphantly. This time he didn't have any "trophies" in his mouth, but he was followed by his dejected subordinates.
Wen Zheng checked Tuan Tuan first, only a new wound appeared on his body, and then he looked at the bird following behind, the big white bird that made Tuan Tuan start fighting.
Hey, it's so miserable!
Compared with the brightly colored Tuantuan, this kind of big bird with mostly white body is another style, even for Wen Zheng to look at it, it is considered beautiful.However, no matter how beautiful it is, when the fluff on the body turns into pieces, it becomes funny and funny.
The soft fluff on its head was pecked into alopecia areata. No wonder the big white bird was so dejected. With just one glance, Wen Zheng could tell something was wrong with his current eyesight.
Jian Wenzheng's eyes stayed on the big white bird all the time, Tuantuan, who wanted to show off, suddenly became unhappy, and wanted to drive the big white bird away with a long cry.The defeated big white bird heard the sound of driving away, and looked over in a daze, but didn't react, and stayed motionless in place.
Seeing that the defeated general under his command didn't listen to his words, he was about to launch an attack in a huff, and just flapped his wings twice, the big white bird was so scared that he didn't know where to go.Only then did Tuantuan fly to Wen Zheng with satisfaction, and proudly puffed out his chest, waiting for Wen Zheng's compliment.
Wen Zheng dragged Tuan Tuan with his hands, praised the child from beginning to end in a tone of praising the child for his good study, and checked Tuan Tuan's wounds again.
Fighting with other birds these days, Tuantuan has no less injuries when he goes home every day, most of them just pulled off the feathers, there are no big wounds, and new fine fluff grows out every two ends. Wen Zheng never noticed it.
However, not all the injuries on that big white bird were new injuries today. Many of the injuries should have been pecked a few days ago or earlier, and no fluff has grown up until now. Only then did Wen Zheng realize his problem. , not paying enough attention to some things that are taken for granted.
In addition to Tuantuan's quick recovery ability, there are also those places that he has forgotten.Wen Zheng was thinking while pulling the bamboo bundle back, and when he returned to the cave and put down the rope in his hand, Wen Zheng walked into the cave and suddenly found that his physical recovery speed seemed to have accelerated a lot during this time.
Thinking carefully about the workload of these days, Wen Zheng realized that this was really not his illusion. Based on this alone, this black box is very useful.
After recovering his physical strength, Wen Zheng picked out the calcined lime and placed it in layers, but in the order of one layer of lime and one layer of bamboo, and piled it in the newly dug earth pit, and then moved to the ground. Add sea water to it and let the bamboo soak in it for a sufficient time.
During the process of soaking the bamboo, Wen Zheng had nothing else to do again, so he found a lot of work for himself.
Except for the work that he has been doing since he came to the island, looking for food and handling and storing the food, Wen Zheng pulled out of his mind the things he wanted to do but had no time to do.
Catch some bamboo rats from the bamboo forest in the south, and then put them in the bamboo forest in the north where no bamboo rats live. In the past few days, Wen Zheng caught a lot of bamboo rats, and put two nests of bamboo rats in the bamboo forest in the north, which is closer to the cave. Released, the two litters disappeared in the bamboo forest very quickly. After a few days passed, Wen Zheng found the entrance of the bamboo rat's cave and confirmed that they had settled down in the Hsinchu forest. It can become Wen Zheng's mouse hunting base.
A lot of bamboo rats were caught that time, two litters were released into the Hsinchu forest, and Wen Zheng took care of the rest.The improvement of his eyesight allowed him to clearly see small details, and he peeled off the soft and fluffy bamboo rat skin, and turned it into small pieces of leather after tanning.The fluffy feeling of bamboo rat skin is completely different from wild boar skin and shark skin, because there are a lot of them, Wen Zheng used fish bones as needles, removed a few fishing net threads, and sewed these furs together to make a shorts.With the sharkskin used as a sleeping bag, the pigskin that was originally used as a quilt was spared, and Wen Zheng sewed it into a top.
There is also the coconut crab that I haven’t eaten for a long time. One day Wenzheng Tutu thought of it and felt that he couldn’t let go of this delicacy anymore, so he took Tuan Tuan for a walk around the coconut grove.Wen Zheng didn't have the luck of being able to meet the coconut crabs out of the hole last time, so he could only find their lair and set a trap to catch them.
Coconut crabs love coconuts the most. The aroma of coconuts is their irresistible temptation. Wen Zheng relies on his good skills to place the opened coconuts in front of the cave he found. When the coconut crabs cannot bear the temptation and run out , the eyes clearly caught the weakness of the crab shell, and the ax immediately chopped it down.
The taste of coconut crabs is not comparable to that of ordinary crabs. After Wen Zheng cooked soil-braised coconut crabs using the earth-simmering method, he and Tuantuan couldn't get enough of them, and ran over to catch them for three consecutive days.
In addition to these plans that were delayed due to lack of time, Wen Zheng also had a new job, which he did every day, and that was weeding the farmland.The grass seeds in the farmland were burned to death, but the grass seeds of the weeds in other places would be blown by the wind. Wen Zheng spent an hour every day to clean up the weeds in the farmland to prevent them from robbing the crops. moisture and nutrients.
These weeds were brutally murdered before they grew up. Wen Zheng didn't waste them, and fed them all to the wild boars raised at home.Under Wen Zheng's careful care, barley's rice is thriving.
As time slipped away, Wen Zheng collected more and more resources, not to mention the cave where he lived, even the storage cave at the top of the slope was about to be filled, so Wen Zheng used bamboo A simple bamboo pavilion was built.
Anyway, there is no pressure to survive. Wen Zheng's construction process is very slow, but it is required to be strong enough.The final finished product is very beautiful. The blue bamboo, brown rope, and green palm leaves make the bamboo pavilion shade from the sun and force the rain. Although I don’t know if it will be destroyed by a typhoon, ordinary storms cannot destroy this bamboo pavilion. How about the kiosk.
After two weeks of busy work, this bamboo pavilion appeared perfectly in front of Wen Zheng. In the following week, Wen Zheng added bamboo tables, bamboo stools, and simple bamboo beds to it. In the bamboo pavilion, enjoy the breeze blowing.
The extra dry firewood is also placed in the bamboo pavilion. The bottom of the bamboo pavilion is made of two layers of bamboo. Don’t worry about the moisture on the ground, even if there is wind and rain. Just cover the dry firewood with plastic cloth and press it with stones. Don't worry about it.
In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the only way to travel is to have a bamboo raft that can be used as a means of transportation on the sea. On land, you can only walk on two legs. Needless to say, living in the cave is extremely comfortable, and there is an extra gazebo outside.The newly sewn pigskin jacket and bamboo rat skin shorts are much more comfortable to wear than the grass skirt, but they are a bit too small. If I can add another piece of pigskin, the clothes will be perfect.
It happened that Wen Zheng missed the smell of lard so much, so he picked a sunny day, and Wen Zheng led the group to the mountains and forests.
Tuantuan's life has been tough these days, Wen Zheng is busy with the work that he arranges for himself, while Tuantuan chooses opponents for himself.The big white bird has been completely defeated by him, and Tuantuan's target is on those birds with strong fighting power. Sometimes they are seriously injured, so they stay at home for a while to recuperate, and then go to challenge.Wen Zheng thus received feathers of various colors. He washed them all and dried them in the sun to help Tuantuan put them away.
Just over a month later, Tuantuan successfully became the best among birds.Every day after the tide falls, there will be many seabirds looking for food on the beach. In the past, Wen Zheng walked over, and those seabirds who were far away gave up that place and flew away.Now Tuantuanfei is flying around and calling a few times, and those birds just stay on the beach and dare not move.Now if Wen Zheng wants to catch birds, he doesn't need to trap bows and arrows, he can just let Tuantuan scream.
Now Tuantuan's body shape is about the same as that of an adult Hai Dongqing, and after so many fights, his eyes have become particularly sharp.Not only did he defeat all kinds of birds, but when the python ushered in the cave again, Wen Zheng didn't have time to play, and the wild boar didn't even have a chance to get out of the pigsty, so Tuantuan took the initiative to pounce on it.
Under Wen Zheng's worried gaze, Tuantuan won the final victory in this bird-snake fight.
Obviously, Tuantuan gets more benefit from the black box.
After Wen Zheng discovered that his eyesight and recovery ability were enhanced, he found that his overall quality had improved a lot, with faster speed, stronger strength, and higher jumping.It should be the influence of the black box, or the result of my own exercise during these days on the desert island.
At this moment, Tuantuan who flew over was using his body to push the box with all his strength, obviously wanting to hand over the box to Wen Zheng.
Sometimes animals are more sensitive than humans, and Wen Zheng deeply understands this truth.After taking the box from the rock wall for so long, Wen Zheng didn't feel anything special about the box, only the original owner left the feeling that this thing is very important.
But Tuantuan is different. From the day he got the black box, he likes to lie on it, and he has to lie on it for several hours every day to get enough.Not long after that, Tuantuan, who lay on the black box every day, began to develop again, and his body shape, sharp claws, and beak became more aggressive. Of course, the biggest change was Tuantuan's IQ.
Knowing to wake up Wen Zheng who was having a nightmare, and wanting to hand over the black box to Wen Zheng, and even being able to understand some of Wen Zheng's words, all kinds of performances are not something ordinary birds can have.These changes all show that Tuantuan has evolved unconsciously, and this evolution is also related to the black box.
Wen Zheng walked over, carried the black box and Tuantuan back to the place in front of the earthen stove, looked down carefully.
It's a pity that no matter how much he looked at it, Wen Zheng didn't have much feeling for the box, and he couldn't find an opening to open the box.He thought for a while and put the box on his lap, raised the well-behaved Tuan Tuan with both hands, and looked directly into Tuantuan's eyes. The beautiful black eyes were full of dependence. Facing Wen Zheng's actions, Tuantuan didn't resist at all. Only a short tweet made Wen Zheng hear doubts from inside.
"Tuantuan, can you understand what I'm saying?" Wen Zheng put the group on the black box and said seriously, "If you understand it, call once, if you don't understand, call twice."
Under Wen Zheng's nervous gaze, Tuantuan tilted his head and yelled, but before Wen Zheng could be surprised, Tuantuan continued to yell, not once or twice, but five short yells in a row.After getting along for a long time, Wen Zheng can understand the meaning of certain calls of Tuantuan, which means that it is hungry.
"Okay, okay, let's cook later." Wen Zheng comforted. Before cooking, he wanted to find out how much Tuantuan could understand now. "Tuantuan, do you like this box very much? If yes, let me know." If not, call twice." Wen Zheng put Tuantuan on his left leg, then pointed to the black box on his right leg.
Tuantuan was at a loss for Wen Zheng's question. Although he became smarter and understood a lot of things, the difference between human language and bird language is still relatively large. He understood his own name when he said Wen Zheng's words. He also understood Wen Zheng's movements, so he flapped his wings and flew up, trying to push the black box that made him feel comfortable into Wen Zheng's arms.
Even if he didn't get an answer, Wen Zheng already got the answer from Tuantuan's actions.
When Wen Zheng wanted to cook, so he wanted to put the black box beside him, Tuantuan fluttered his wings again to ask him not to let go.In the end, there was no other way. Wen Zheng found a rope and tied the black box around his waist. It hindered his movement a little, and it was a little unattractive, but he didn't care about it in the cave.
Speaking of which, during the days when he obtained the black box, although he spent most of his time in the same cave, Wen Zheng hardly ever touched it, let alone having close contact with Tuantuan for several hours a day.
Perhaps this is the reason why Tuantuan has evolved, but he hasn't changed in any way.
As for whether this box is harmful to the body, Wen Zheng believes that Tuantuan will not harm himself, and he will always pay attention to the changes in his body, and if there is something wrong, he will give up contact.
For the next few days, the rain continued to fall.Wen Zheng's body didn't get fever again, only some cold symptoms of stuffy nose and cough, and he had only one solution to this, which was to drink more hot water.
This kind of leisure time, nothing to be busy with, often makes people feel too quiet and lonely,
Wen Zheng dug out the shark teeth that hadn't been used until now on the shelf, rubbed his fingers lightly to feel their sharpness, and simulated in his mind how to use these teeth to make weapons.
The only light source in the cave is the dry firewood burning in the earthen stove. As time goes by, the flame inside gradually becomes smaller, and the cave, which is not bright enough, becomes darker and darker, and the temperature also drops.
A familiar pain came from his arm. Wen Zheng, who was in deep thought, woke up and lowered his head to ask Tuantuan what he was going to do. He saw Tuantuan flying to the dry firewood in the corner. After thinking for two seconds, Wen Zheng realized that Tuantuan was really reminded. The flames were almost extinguished.
This person and one bird are now able to communicate smoothly. Human language and bird language cannot communicate smoothly, but actions can express the meaning of both parties very well, especially Wen Zheng, who is about to reach the tenth level in his actions against Tuantuan.
Wen Zheng stood up, revealing the black box tied to his body. He went to a corner and took some dry firewood to add to it. The firelight illuminated his eyes, and also dyed the feathers of the balls with a warm yellow light. Like adding a warm filter, it looks extra warm and peaceful.
Outside the cave, it is windy and rainy, but in the cave, the years are quiet.
It rained continuously, intermittently for several days.In the past few days, Wen Zheng went out to have a look when the rain stopped. The two wild boars stayed in the pigsty obediently, so he added some feed to them. The crops in the farmland also had no major problems. The terrain is relatively high, and the rainwater flows to the low-lying places.Then Wen Zheng dug some soil into the wide bamboo tube, dug a mint tree from outside the cave and planted it in, and also placed it next to the black box.
A person, a bird, and a mint all surround the black box every day, and keep in close contact with the black box.Until the continuous rain stopped and the soft sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the bamboo curtains, Wen Zheng still didn't notice the black box had any effect on him.

Covering his eyes, Wen Zheng continued to look around after a while, wearing slippers he picked up from the garbage on his feet, and a ball on his shoulders, walking slowly from the cave to the beach, his eyes were full of novelty towards infinity .
He had never seen the world so clearly.

Several days of rain caused some railings outside the cave to tilt. The pigsty that had just been built had the same problem. It took three days for Wen Zheng to solve all the problems caused by the rain, and weaved it out of palm leaves. I replaced the plastic sheet on the pigsty with a rain curtain, and then cleaned the plastic sheet several times by the sea.

Without the pressure of survival, Wen Zheng, who was finally free, set his goal on making paper.Life without soft paper is really uncomfortable. Life on a deserted island is not as comfortable as modern society. It is even more miserable than traveling to ancient times. Wen Zheng hopes that the next world can be a normal modern society.
It is indeed very painful to have no paper and no cloth, but it will not make people unable to live, so the matter of making paper has been postponed until now.In fact, before paper was invented, high-status people would use cloth, but Wen Zheng didn't know much about weaving, but he knew a little about papermaking.
What Wen Zheng wants to make is not paper for writing, so he doesn't need to worry too much about the materials needed to make paper.Perhaps the quality of the paper produced is far inferior to modern paper, but as long as it is softer than leaves, even if it is as hard as writing paper, or it will rot if you rub it with your hands, for Wen Zheng He is satisfied.
Before making paper, you need to choose the right material. Bark, hemp, vines, etc. can all be used as raw materials for paper making, but what Wen Zheng plans to use is bamboo.When I was in college, I traveled with my classmates and went to a small town where bamboo paper was made. Not only did I listen to the people there tell about the steps of making bamboo paper, but I also experienced some of the steps by myself.
In addition to bamboo, the most important material used in the papermaking process is lime.As early as in the book "Tiangong Kaiwu", there are steps for making bamboo paper, which are still applicable in modern society, but some changes have been made in modern times, that is, lime is added in the step of finishing, thereby reducing the need for finishing. time.If it is purely soaked, it will take more than 100 days to complete the greening, but with the help of lime, the time is greatly reduced.
Then, before making bamboo paper, Wen Zheng needs to get out lime, and lime also has the effect of disinfection.Lime can always be seen in daily life, and the method of making lime is not difficult. When I was in school, I recited the "Lime Song" which was written about the method of making lime. It is difficult to carve out deep mountains with thousands of hammers and burn them like nothing. Lime is obtained when limestone is forged by fire.
In fact, it doesn't have to be limestone, as long as it is a product with a high calcium carbonate content, including limestone, dolomite and various shells, lime can be obtained after calcination.
Shells are the most abundant on the beach, and there is also a lot of limestone on the gravel mountain, so there is no shortage of raw materials.The reason why Wen Zheng didn't make paper for so long was because the whole process was too troublesome, but he has time now.
It took two days to collect enough limestone and enough wood from the gravel mountain, and cleared out an open space. Wen Zheng put a layer of limestone and a layer of dry firewood, so that the layering can burn more evenly. Lime can be obtained by burning the wood for a week.
During the week of calcining the lime, Wen Zheng still needed to dig a big pit to soak the bamboo, while Tuantuan's rebellion continued.Seeing that Wenzheng didn't go out very much, Tuantuan didn't stay at home with Wenzheng. After obtaining Wenzheng's consent, he flew to the direction of the bamboo forest every day, and after a few hours passed, he came back with a wound.
Tuantuan is no longer an ordinary bird. Even if Wen Zheng is worried about Tuantuan's safety, he will not stop him from doing what he wants to do.
The effect of the black box is not shown on the plants at all, it is only a clearer vision on Wen Zheng, but it is very obvious on Tuantuan.After a wealth of actual combat training, Tuantuan had fewer and fewer new wounds, but brought back more and more "trophies", and those "trophies" were bird feathers.
Seeing that the limestone was almost burnt and the pit had been dug, Wenzheng and Tuantuan went to the bamboo forest on the mountain together.
The bamboo forest on the mountain is suitable for making bamboo paper. Moso bamboo is divided into male and female, which can be distinguished by the bamboo branches growing on the bamboo pole. If only one bamboo branch grows in a position, it is a male bamboo. If multiple bamboo branches grow, it is a female bamboo. bamboo.
Usually the texture of male bamboo is relatively hard. The bamboo Wen Zheng uses to build the pigsty is all male bamboo, but to make paper, of course, he must choose the softer female bamboo.The texture of new bamboos and old bamboos is also different. It is necessary to choose not only female bamboos, but also young new bamboos.
In the bamboo forest, Wen Zheng carefully identified the male and female, the old and the young, and carefully cut down and collected the water from the bamboo inside. However, Tuantuan flew away as soon as he arrived in the bamboo forest.Don't think about it, it must have been fighting with other birds.
After cutting the bamboos to the same length and tying them into neat bundles with ropes, Wen Zheng yelled to the surroundings twice, then sat on the ground to drink water and rest, using his upgraded eyesight to appreciate the beauty of the bamboo forest, which gave him a brand new feeling.
After waiting for too long, Tuantuan flew back triumphantly. This time he didn't have any "trophies" in his mouth, but he was followed by his dejected subordinates.
Wen Zheng checked Tuan Tuan first, only a new wound appeared on his body, and then he looked at the bird following behind, the big white bird that made Tuan Tuan start fighting.
Hey, it's so miserable!
Compared with the brightly colored Tuantuan, this kind of big bird with mostly white body is another style, even for Wen Zheng to look at it, it is considered beautiful.However, no matter how beautiful it is, when the fluff on the body turns into pieces, it becomes funny and funny.
The soft fluff on its head was pecked into alopecia areata. No wonder the big white bird was so dejected. With just one glance, Wen Zheng could tell something was wrong with his current eyesight.
Jian Wenzheng's eyes stayed on the big white bird all the time, Tuantuan, who wanted to show off, suddenly became unhappy, and wanted to drive the big white bird away with a long cry.The defeated big white bird heard the sound of driving away, and looked over in a daze, but didn't react, and stayed motionless in place.
Seeing that the defeated general under his command didn't listen to his words, he was about to launch an attack in a huff, and just flapped his wings twice, the big white bird was so scared that he didn't know where to go.Only then did Tuantuan fly to Wen Zheng with satisfaction, and proudly puffed out his chest, waiting for Wen Zheng's compliment.
Wen Zheng dragged Tuan Tuan with his hands, praised the child from beginning to end in a tone of praising the child for his good study, and checked Tuan Tuan's wounds again.
Fighting with other birds these days, Tuantuan has no less injuries when he goes home every day, most of them just pulled off the feathers, there are no big wounds, and new fine fluff grows out every two ends. Wen Zheng never noticed it.
However, not all the injuries on that big white bird were new injuries today. Many of the injuries should have been pecked a few days ago or earlier, and no fluff has grown up until now. Only then did Wen Zheng realize his problem. , not paying enough attention to some things that are taken for granted.
In addition to Tuantuan's quick recovery ability, there are also those places that he has forgotten.Wen Zheng was thinking while pulling the bamboo bundle back, and when he returned to the cave and put down the rope in his hand, Wen Zheng walked into the cave and suddenly found that his physical recovery speed seemed to have accelerated a lot during this time.
Thinking carefully about the workload of these days, Wen Zheng realized that this was really not his illusion. Based on this alone, this black box is very useful.
After recovering his physical strength, Wen Zheng picked out the calcined lime and placed it in layers, but in the order of one layer of lime and one layer of bamboo, and piled it in the newly dug earth pit, and then moved to the ground. Add sea water to it and let the bamboo soak in it for a sufficient time.
During the process of soaking the bamboo, Wen Zheng had nothing else to do again, so he found a lot of work for himself.
Except for the work that he has been doing since he came to the island, looking for food and handling and storing the food, Wen Zheng pulled out of his mind the things he wanted to do but had no time to do.
Catch some bamboo rats from the bamboo forest in the south, and then put them in the bamboo forest in the north where no bamboo rats live. In the past few days, Wen Zheng caught a lot of bamboo rats, and put two nests of bamboo rats in the bamboo forest in the north, which is closer to the cave. Released, the two litters disappeared in the bamboo forest very quickly. After a few days passed, Wen Zheng found the entrance of the bamboo rat's cave and confirmed that they had settled down in the Hsinchu forest. It can become Wen Zheng's mouse hunting base.
A lot of bamboo rats were caught that time, two litters were released into the Hsinchu forest, and Wen Zheng took care of the rest.The improvement of his eyesight allowed him to clearly see small details, and he peeled off the soft and fluffy bamboo rat skin, and turned it into small pieces of leather after tanning.The fluffy feeling of bamboo rat skin is completely different from wild boar skin and shark skin, because there are a lot of them, Wen Zheng used fish bones as needles, removed a few fishing net threads, and sewed these furs together to make a shorts.With the sharkskin used as a sleeping bag, the pigskin that was originally used as a quilt was spared, and Wen Zheng sewed it into a top.
There is also the coconut crab that I haven’t eaten for a long time. One day Wenzheng Tutu thought of it and felt that he couldn’t let go of this delicacy anymore, so he took Tuan Tuan for a walk around the coconut grove.Wen Zheng didn't have the luck of being able to meet the coconut crabs out of the hole last time, so he could only find their lair and set a trap to catch them.
Coconut crabs love coconuts the most. The aroma of coconuts is their irresistible temptation. Wen Zheng relies on his good skills to place the opened coconuts in front of the cave he found. When the coconut crabs cannot bear the temptation and run out , the eyes clearly caught the weakness of the crab shell, and the ax immediately chopped it down.
The taste of coconut crabs is not comparable to that of ordinary crabs. After Wen Zheng cooked soil-braised coconut crabs using the earth-simmering method, he and Tuantuan couldn't get enough of them, and ran over to catch them for three consecutive days.
In addition to these plans that were delayed due to lack of time, Wen Zheng also had a new job, which he did every day, and that was weeding the farmland.The grass seeds in the farmland were burned to death, but the grass seeds of the weeds in other places would be blown by the wind. Wen Zheng spent an hour every day to clean up the weeds in the farmland to prevent them from robbing the crops. moisture and nutrients.
These weeds were brutally murdered before they grew up. Wen Zheng didn't waste them, and fed them all to the wild boars raised at home.Under Wen Zheng's careful care, barley's rice is thriving.
As time slipped away, Wen Zheng collected more and more resources, not to mention the cave where he lived, even the storage cave at the top of the slope was about to be filled, so Wen Zheng used bamboo A simple bamboo pavilion was built.
Anyway, there is no pressure to survive. Wen Zheng's construction process is very slow, but it is required to be strong enough.The final finished product is very beautiful. The blue bamboo, brown rope, and green palm leaves make the bamboo pavilion shade from the sun and force the rain. Although I don’t know if it will be destroyed by a typhoon, ordinary storms cannot destroy this bamboo pavilion. How about the kiosk.
After two weeks of busy work, this bamboo pavilion appeared perfectly in front of Wen Zheng. In the following week, Wen Zheng added bamboo tables, bamboo stools, and simple bamboo beds to it. In the bamboo pavilion, enjoy the breeze blowing.
The extra dry firewood is also placed in the bamboo pavilion. The bottom of the bamboo pavilion is made of two layers of bamboo. Don’t worry about the moisture on the ground, even if there is wind and rain. Just cover the dry firewood with plastic cloth and press it with stones. Don't worry about it.
In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the only way to travel is to have a bamboo raft that can be used as a means of transportation on the sea. On land, you can only walk on two legs. Needless to say, living in the cave is extremely comfortable, and there is an extra gazebo outside.The newly sewn pigskin jacket and bamboo rat skin shorts are much more comfortable to wear than the grass skirt, but they are a bit too small. If I can add another piece of pigskin, the clothes will be perfect.
It happened that Wen Zheng missed the smell of lard so much, so he picked a sunny day, and Wen Zheng led the group to the mountains and forests.
Tuantuan's life has been tough these days, Wen Zheng is busy with the work that he arranges for himself, while Tuantuan chooses opponents for himself.The big white bird has been completely defeated by him, and Tuantuan's target is on those birds with strong fighting power. Sometimes they are seriously injured, so they stay at home for a while to recuperate, and then go to challenge.Wen Zheng thus received feathers of various colors. He washed them all and dried them in the sun to help Tuantuan put them away.
Just over a month later, Tuantuan successfully became the best among birds.Every day after the tide falls, there will be many seabirds looking for food on the beach. In the past, Wen Zheng walked over, and those seabirds who were far away gave up that place and flew away.Now Tuantuanfei is flying around and calling a few times, and those birds just stay on the beach and dare not move.Now if Wen Zheng wants to catch birds, he doesn't need to trap bows and arrows, he can just let Tuantuan scream.
Now Tuantuan's body shape is about the same as that of an adult Hai Dongqing, and after so many fights, his eyes have become particularly sharp.Not only did he defeat all kinds of birds, but when the python ushered in the cave again, Wen Zheng didn't have time to play, and the wild boar didn't even have a chance to get out of the pigsty, so Tuantuan took the initiative to pounce on it.
Under Wen Zheng's worried gaze, Tuantuan won the final victory in this bird-snake fight.
Obviously, Tuantuan gets more benefit from the black box.
After Wen Zheng discovered that his eyesight and recovery ability were enhanced, he found that his overall quality had improved a lot, with faster speed, stronger strength, and higher jumping.It should be the influence of the black box, or the result of my own exercise during these days on the desert island.
