Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 98 No.60 Seven days, a devastating blow

Speaking of the way the ignition started, in fact, I don't know how I suddenly remembered it.

I once saw my colleagues order it with my own eyes. It was because of working overtime on weekends. During our lunch break, we saw an interesting experimental video in Moments.

He has a very genuine character, after seeing it, he insisted on experimenting, and after buying the materials at the convenience store downstairs, he tried it.I didn't take a close look at his pre-production process.

How much time did it take to make it, because I didn't pay much attention to it, so I don't know very well, maybe three to 10 minutes?maybe an hour?I'm not sure.

But in the end he called me excitedly, and when I went to see it, he did light the fire.

This matter is very weak in my memory. If it hadn't suddenly flashed just now, I might not be able to remember it at all.

In fact, there are not many materials. I figured it out. Basically, I have all the materials needed. What needs to be done is to try slowly.

There were three large batteries in the flashlight, and none of them got water. After taking out one battery, I put the rest on the table.Yes, it is one of the most important materials for ignition. The second material is something I have been thinking about for a long time.A co-worker was using gum foil, which I didn't have at all, but then I thought of an alternative, tin foil from cigarette packs!
Both are made of the same material, so the chances of success are very high. I piled the smoke on the table to dry, and it was not very wet.I only opened one package, the others are sealed, and because they are wrapped in the quilt, they are not damp at all.

The sun is now much westward, and the quilts seem to be almost dry, and the fire materials picked up have been dried long ago. Of course, those branches with thick arms must not dry so fast, but these branches are considered It's still a little damp, but they can still be placed next to the fire, and after drying, they can be used as a driving force for the fire to continue burning...

But it's a bit early to think about this now, after all, the fire hasn't been lit yet.If this method works, then ignition will no longer be a problem. Thinking of this, I started to get excited again.

Those dry twigs, leaves, and ignition materials were all piled up by me and hugged.The most critical time has come, if it succeeds, at least I don't need to endure the torment of darkness anymore.

The battery does not need to be disposed of, but the tin foil in the cigarette box does.I remember that the middle of the tin foil should be cut narrower.I took out a pack of cigarettes that I had opened before, and the smoke inside was a little wet, but it was already dry, but the taste is probably not as good as before.

There are small scissors on the Swiss Army Knife. After measuring the length of the battery, I cut out a piece of tin foil in the cigarette box with small scissors. The whole piece of tin foil is about two centimeters wide. After all, it is an experiment, so I specially cut it larger .

In the middle of the tin foil, I used small scissors to cut off a piece from top to bottom, leaving a width of about one centimeter in the middle of the tin foil. Then it’s time to try. According to my colleagues, this method seems to use the short circuit phenomenon of the battery. The middle of the tin foil can be burned.

Because I was not particularly interested in it at the beginning, I don't know how much the overall width of the tin foil needs to be, and how wide it needs to be in the middle, so I can only try it slowly.

Stick the tin foil on the two poles of the battery, press it tightly with your thumb and forefinger, and then wait for the middle to be ignited.

Soon, my thumb and index finger began to feel hot. At this time, I must be apprehensive and afraid. I was afraid that my fingers would be burned by the sharply rising temperature, and I was afraid that the battery would explode due to a short circuit. Although I It's not clear if the battery is actually going to explode.

The time may have passed ten seconds. I saw white smoke coming out of the tin foil in the middle. I was about to cheer, but it ended...

There was no fire at all. Although I felt that the temperature of the two poles of the battery was getting higher and higher, but after the white smoke disappeared, there was no reaction, so I had to put the battery down and prepare to try again.

The time of putting it on is not bad, except for some heat on the fingers, there is no burn.In order not to waste time, I am going to start the second attempt. This time, I will cut the tin foil in the middle narrower. After a few trims with small scissors, it is estimated that the width in the middle is less than [-] centimeters. Just less than five millimeters.

It should work this time, right?I'm a little excited!
I put my hands together, put them in front of my mouth, took a breath, and gave myself a blessing of luck, then I picked up the battery again, and the second test started, and I pressed the modified tin foil on it again!

two seconds!Just two seconds later, there was smoke!

five seconds!It should have only been five seconds before I saw Mars.I'm so excited!Soon the fire will be lit again.

The sparks instantly burned through the narrow space in the middle of the tinfoil. I tried to put the tinfoil that still had a little bit of sparks into the ignition material, but until it went out... nothing happened!
Reality is like a basin of cold water, pouring me through!
I was very confident at first, but I was stunned!I don't understand why my colleague can burn the tin foil, but I can't!If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have just given up, or thought that the person in the video was an edited liar.

It's not bad, the mentality didn't collapse, and after taking a few deep breaths, I adjusted it, and cut a piece of tin foil again. This time, I made some adjustments to the width, from the original two centimeters to about one and a half centimeters. , Of course, this is all approximate, I am not so precise.

The width in the middle of the tin foil has been changed to about [-], which is wider than last time. I hope to ignite the tin foil instead of burning it.

This time, I was even more nervous. The consecutive failures made me a little worried. What if I failed... What should I do at night...

Worrying didn't stop me from moving. Now I have pressed this new piece of tinfoil on the battery. Three seconds later, there was white smoke in the middle of the tinfoil. Just when I was annoyed, I wanted to throw away this piece of tinfoil. Time, fire, be fire!It was so abrupt, it popped up out of nowhere.

"Yeah!" I was so excited that I almost stretched out my scissors...

Of course, I didn't really stick it out. I didn't even feel the hot battery. I immediately erected this piece of tin foil to let the flames start to spread, and immediately moved it towards the ignition materials.

"Crack." All the flammable materials I had prepared started to burn, and I began to slowly put the twigs on the side, and the fire was revived again. This night is destined not to be cold and dark!
