Transforming caves is a huge project.

This cave is only one person high, but three meters deep, wide on the outside and narrow on the inside.

Jennifer laid the mineral water bottle horizontally on the ground and watched it roll away into the darkness.The rolling speed is not fast, which proves that the slope of the cave is not as big as imagined.

"Windproof and rainproof, drainage and water collection, food storage... have to be remodeled bit by bit." She reached out and touched the rough stone wall, "From the inside, the structure of the cave is still very stable, and it is rarely heard This type of hole can collapse...but I'd put a few braces in the hole just in case."

After finishing the outline, she went to the jungle to search for materials according to the calculation in her heart.It is necessary to choose more tough wood with a softer cross-section to stuff it into the hole. The situation is critical, and Jennifer can't care about protecting the knife.She wielded a not-so-handy outdoor knife with ease, and the suitable branches were chopped off one by one, smoothed, and then transported back to the cave.

In order to achieve the best squeeze and airtight effect, all the branches used as supporting wood are deliberately left an inch longer, pushed into the hole obliquely, and stand up as much as possible.The other support wood is embedded with the support wood in the exact opposite direction to form a stable triangle.

After setting up the support wood, a rain curtain wood was inserted horizontally one meter and two meters away from the entrance of the cave, and half windproof wood was erected side by side at the entrance of the cave.The upper end of the wood stuck to the stone wall, and the lower end tilted to the outside of the hole and penetrated deeply into the soil.Besides wind protection, this half wall is also part of the rain protection and drainage system.

"The triangular support is the most basic support method," Jennifer said while digging a hole. "Actually, I have always wanted to know about the mortise and tenon structure. It is said that craftsmen can use this method to build a building with a pure wood structure."

Probably this term attracted the attention of some viewers, and the discussion started again in the one-person live broadcast room.

[Mortise and tenon is an Asian architectural structure, right? 】

[To be precise, it is China. I found that Jenny seems to like to study ancient things. 】

[Haven't you felt it, Jenny not only likes to study ancient things, she likes to study everything! 】

The audience talked enthusiastically, and Jennifer, who was sweating heavily, tried to start a fire while leaning against the stone wall to rest.The damp wood can't reach the ignition point, and there is still no sign of ignition when it hurts to drill.She took a deep breath, holding back her energy, simply chose a piece of rough wood, cut it to the innermost layer with a knife to make a drill board, and successfully lit a fire.

"To hell with it."

After consuming so much energy, even Jennifer, who has a good temper, couldn't help but curse a few words.

She wiped her forehead and picked up the mineral water bottle to rehydrate.

"Now we have the prototype of the residence, the supporting wood is built, and the canopy is half finished." After a pause, he continued: "Actually, it would be more useful to put a row of logs on top of the door, but I won't do that , and I don’t recommend you to do this. Many viewers know that burning coal can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, but they don’t know that incomplete combustion of firewood can also produce carbon monoxide. I’m here to participate in the competition, not to take a long way to send myself into a hyperbaric oxygen chamber of."

This sentence once again triggered a frenzy of "complaints".

[Nonsense, you are clearly here to abuse the food. 】

[Nonsense, you are obviously here for leisure and vacation. 】

[Nonsense, you are obviously here to grab the job of the National Geographic Channel. 】

The production team of "Wilderness Challenge" who has been paying attention to the cash cow live broadcast room is also very bald today.

They really want to add interactive features for players and spectators, but because of the "alone survival" clearly stipulated in the challenge, they withdrew their eager hands.

This is the competition system that Mr. Luthor, the big boss who has become more and more proud in the past two years, has made a final decision.In his original words: Human beings can overcome everything, there is no need for any miscellaneous settings, the program team only needs to throw the contestants to the most dangerous places in the world.

Chief Director: I think you are playing with me. (keep smiling.jpg)

However, out of respect for the big boss Jue (jin) Ding (qian), the production team can only turn everyone into deaf and blind.

The real-time number of people in the upper right corner and the comment area in the lower right corner do not exist, they do not exist at all.

All they could see was the cash cow walking through the dangerous jungle like walking on the ground, watching her collect materials as if she was back in her own backyard, and watching her sit cross-legged at the entrance of the cave and start weaving palm leaves.

Those slender hands are so dexterous, and the wide leaves are woven together in an uncomplicated but delicate way, finally forming an airtight natural curtain.

The heat of the flames scorched Jennifer from behind, making her feel more comfortable and drowsy than ever. However, for the upcoming storm, she still worked hard to continue to perfect the shelter.

Clump after clump of rain curtains were woven and set aside until they were stacked in layers on the ground.

Jennifer shook out the canvas in the backpack and tied it tightly to the inside of the wooden wall with plant ropes. "It stands to reason that it is more appropriate to post the rain curtain on the outside of the wall, but the strong wind may blow the canvas away, causing unnecessary losses. Posting it on the inside can also play the role of a rain curtain. You see, I put half of the canvas on the wooden wall tied together, and the lower half loosened in the soil outside the cave. In this way, as long as the rainwater falls from the wall, it will be directed to the ground and flow down the hill along the reverse slope outside the cave.”

It's a very practical idea, half the problem is solved, and the other half needs to be done with palm fronds.

Jennifer used plant rope to tie the palm fronds together to form two giant raincloths, tied stem-side up to the rain-screen log.This rain curtain will serve as a second line of defense.When the wind blows obliquely, it will not cause too much impact on the heavy rain curtain because it is blocked by the wooden wall; when the wind blows straight - the worst and worst case of luck - she can also close half of the rain curtain back. Stick the roof of the cave and tie it to the second rain curtain wood, and sit in the half-side cave blocked by the wooden door and the other half of the rain curtain, protecting the fire and removing water from the outside.

However, in order to prevent that unlucky situation from really happening, Jennifer also carefully walked the terrain.

One side of the wooden wall is blocked by a huge banyan tree, so that it will not be knocked down by something blown by the wind; the other side is an empty cliff, and nothing will fly over to damage the wooden wall.only positive...

She pondered, and finally decided to reinforce the wooden wall with a few more layers outside.

At that time, the small tree will not be afraid, and the big tree will not hit the door of the cave with a height of one person.No matter how violent the wind is, it can at most blow the giant trees down, so as not to wind them up and fly around.

The ninth day in the field was busy and tinkering. That night, Jennifer ate some snake meat as usual, and slept peacefully in the tree hole she built.

***

On the morning of the tenth day, the number of players dropped to an unprecedented 912.

Jennifer saw this number when she got up early, and she became more and more convinced that it was a storm that was about to hit—no one who could survive ten days did not have a certain amount of survival knowledge, and it is normal for the number of people to gradually decrease. Only when things happen can they be created.

The sense of urgency weighed on her head like a heavy mist, and she had to take several deep breaths to calm down.

Today's work is easier than yesterday. Jennifer just collected some moss, firewood, long wooden poles and food in the woods to keep warm.

"If I'm still alive and kicking when the wind passes, I'll have to put some fences in the hole, but I can only make wooden spears now." She said half-jokingly, "Humans are not the only residents of this jungle. It will last for a week, and at least two or three days must not leave the cave, and preparations must be made to prevent other wild animals from impacting the cave."

Now she still has three compressed biscuits, which are enough for one to two days. There is a lot of dried snake meat, and it is barely enough to save some food. The key is that I found some tubers and mangoes in the jungle today.

Jennifer was a little surprised when she found the mango. The fruit was so sweet, she took a small bite—and wrinkled her face into a ball.

"It's sour." She hissed and drew her hand around her chin. "It's sour, and after eating it, there is an obvious astringent feeling. Now my tongue is numb. It really doesn't taste good, but just I feel very happy when I smell the mango, well, well, acid is a good thing, it means that it can provide me with enough vitamins. I will collect some and put them in the cave.”

[Didn't it mean that eating green mangoes would cause poisoning or allergies?Seems like an allergy? 】

[It depends on your physique.Chinese fans said that this thing is eaten with five-spice powder in our hometown. 】

The audience adjusted the atmosphere by laughing and laughing. In fact, their sense of tension was no less than that of the contestants, and only they could intuitively see the chilling cloud map of the storm.

As if feeling that tens of thousands of people were praying for her, Jennifer's mood was much calmer when she sat down in the cave, and she still had the mood to educate the audience.

“People say that a tropical storm can flatten the whole vegetation on an island by meters,” she laughs, “and if any of you have seen aerial photos of islands before and after a hurricane a few years ago, Some islands that were originally lush and green are like washed faded shirts in the washing machine after the strong wind, and the color is several degrees lighter from a height."

As the evening approached, billowing dark clouds condensed overhead, like a gray curtain sweeping from afar.

This scene seemed familiar. Earlier, when Jennifer was not called Jennifer Davis, she had seen this terrifying scene.

Licking her lips, she brushed her hair behind her ears and stared at the sky.His face was dirty, but his eyes were particularly bright. "I should really have done '2012,'" she said.

[Please stop joking with me Jenny, I'm going to suffocate, why do I want to participate in this kind of program! 】

[I feel the same way, counting the days and staying on the island for a long time, it's really scary.I heard that Bruce Wayne will hold a big birthday party this year, and Jenny would definitely go there. 】

【February 2th, right?Gotham is in chaos now, Ficone just had an accident, I even think staying on a deserted island is safer than staying in Gotham... I really hope Superman is still there, he hasn't been seen for three or four years , while the Avengers and new superheroes filled the void, Superman is Superman. 】

[No one is safe on a deserted island, look at the weather in the live broadcast, and then look at this kind of cloud map that can scare heart patients to death. Are you embarrassed to say that the deserted island is safe? 】

The tense atmosphere gradually intensified, and the comment area was once again bloodbathed by disputes.

On the island, Jennifer put away the rain curtain and quietly watched the dark clouds that were about to go out.

"It's about to start," she said softly. "This time, I think I'm ready."
