Shannon Island Lord

Chapter 2 Self Reliance (2)

Zhou Yu continued to dig through the contents of the backpack, except for a useless IPAD soaked in water, two books that were already soaked, a small roll of transparent glue, a headphone cable, a glass bottle filled with five-pointed star origami, and finally A peaked cap of a certain brand.

Gone?

Zhou Yu looked at the empty small backpack and was extremely speechless.Did the person with the backpack go abroad and return home?The things I bring are like going from the whole house to another house for a day or two.

Looking at the things on the ground, Zhou Yu didn't bother anymore, and casually hung these clothes on a tree to dry in the air, so that he can change them for himself in the future.

The tablet has been scrapped and is useless except for looking in the mirror.But a person is on this island, dressed up with a mirror, who is going to look handsome?fish?animal beast?

But the tablet is disassembled, the glass, the shell, and even the motherboard inside can be used to cut things. Although it is not as sharp as a knife, it is still sharp.

Transparent glue is best for binding things.

After violently dismantling the tablet, the glass was completely shattered, and there was no way to use it at all. In the end, we could only use the body shell.

It took about ten minutes to hammer the shell with stones into a long strip with the width of two fingers, and one end was further hammered into a pointed cone shape. In this way, this thing can both pierce and cut.After trying the hardness of this tool, Zhou Yu still thought it was pretty good.
Next, he uses the tool to drill a hole in the top of the coconut.

Sure enough, within two to three minutes, a small hole was chiseled out of the coconut's head.He poured some coconut water into a plastic bottle, cleaned the bottle, and started collecting the coconut water.

This makes drinking much more convenient.

When these things were done, only ten minutes had passed.

"Then it's time to light the fire."

Feeling that his physical strength is still very strong, Zhou Yu is also very excited. He has been busy for several hours without being tired. The effect of that bottle of spiritual liquid is really extraordinary.

If he drank a bottle every day, the result would be unimaginable to him.

It's just that when he thinks that a bottle of this kind of thing needs 100 merit points, he gets a little hairy.I only have 115 merit points, minus the gifts that I exchanged for a point, which is 114 points.

Although he doesn't know what good deeds he has done, nor what kind of good deeds are "effective".But it turns out that he only has merit points in the early [-]s, which is the clearest.

Shaking off his complicated thoughts, he looked at the firewood around him, and prepared to choose the method of rubbing fire to start the fire, after all, there is no lighter here.

He found two more suitable trees, and a ball of leaf down made by rubbing palm leaves.But when he turned around and was about to start, he saw the glass bottle full of origami...

Looking at this bottle, Zhou Yu's mind suddenly paused, as if he remembered something, and then he slapped his forehead suddenly, cursing himself: "You are so stupid, I almost forgot that there is a ready-made convex lens!"

The bottom of the glass bottle is a convex lens, which can be used as a light collector.Now that the sun is so bright, it should not be a problem to gather light through the bottom of the glass bottle to start a fire.May be a little longer.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu quickly unscrewed the lid of the bottle, and poured out the origami five-pointed star that was still dry inside.Then carefully break the bottle.

This bottle could have been used to hold water, but now it is used for other purposes, and nature chooses the most useful one.

After knocking out a complete glass bottle bottom with concave and convex inside, Zhou Yu found a cracked and dry coconut shell, knocked out a semicircle shape, and drilled a thumb-sized hole on the bottom with a flat shell. Small holes for air circulation.

Next, he put some leaf velvet into the coconut shell, then stacked small dead branches, and then stacked leaf velvet on these dead branches, so that a simple fire storage device was made.

He took the coconut shell, a few longer dead branches and the bottom of the glass bottle and walked out onto the beach.

With a peaked cap that came in handy, I dug a slightly shallower sand pit in the ground.Put the coconut shell inside, then break the few dead branches into small pieces and set aside for later use.

Use the glass to face the sun, and then aim at the leaf velvet in the coconut shell at a suitable angle, and slowly adjust the angle of the glass so that the refracted and gathered light can form a light spot.

Under the scorching sun and high temperature, Zhou Yu dared not move at all. Although the bottom of the glass bottle had the function of a convex lens, compared with a magnifying glass, the effect was still relatively slow. He could only persevere under the scorching sun.

His eyes were fixed on the leaf velvet in the coconut shell, and he kept chanting the words "burn quickly" and "burn quickly" in his heart, letting the sweat flow from his forehead to his nose and temples.

But within four to five minutes, Zhou Yu already felt that his back was about to burn. This hot feeling was like a red hot coal only four or five centimeters away from his back.

Just when he was thinking about whether he should hide in a cool place for a while, add some water, and cool down, he saw a trace of white smoke suddenly appearing from the coconut shell.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu's heart suddenly became agitated, and he continued to keep his gestures still.All the thoughts that just popped up were thrown away by him.

In less than a dozen seconds, the smoke was getting bigger and bigger, and there were more and more sparks in the leaf velvet. At this moment, Zhou Yu began to blow air into it slowly.

After a few breaths of blowing, there was a sudden "pop" in the coconut shell, and the flame rushed up.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu laughed out loud, and quickly added the dead branches prepared on the side.Then he walked back quickly holding the coconut shell.

Put the burning coconut shell on the ground, and dig a sand pit with a depth of more than ten centimeters and a width of half a meter. Three or four thick trunks.

Once this kind of thick trunk is burned, it is not easy to extinguish and can be used as a kindling.

Then put the coconut shell inside, start adding leaves that are easy to burn, then small dead branches, big branches, and slowly, a pile of flames is formed.

Seeing the pair of fires, Zhou Yu was very happy, and also drank up a bottle of coconut water, which can replenish water, a small amount of salt and vitamins.

If he hadn't thought of having this glass bottle, if he used friction to start a fire, he didn't know how long it would take, and he didn't know if it would be successful.

"When there is a flame, it's time to build a shed."

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief again, feeling that he was lucky and everything went well.

After resting for a few minutes, I took those canes similar to Nanshan vine and the "rope" torn off the outer skin, as well as some long bamboos and tree trunks, and placed them between two palm trees that were no more than two meters apart.

Except for rattan bark and some small canes, which were broken and cut with stones, the rest were basically picked up.These are the things he used to build the shed.

What he wants to build is an "A"-shaped shed, which is like two "A"s facing each other, and then two bamboos are fixed between the two "A".This kind of shed is relatively simple.

Of course, that's what I said, but in fact it is difficult, and you can only know if you have done it.

Zhou Yu fixed four long trunks two by two to the two palm trees, and then tied two bamboos between the two trunks.

In the middle of the two bamboos, they are connected with cane skins to form a "suspension bridge" shape.In the middle, the leaves of palm trees are used to support the leaf velvet cushion, so that it is softer to lie on.

After finishing this, it was past four o'clock, and it would be dark in three or four hours.

It's just that he hasn't finished building the shed yet, because the roof hasn't been built yet.

Of course, he also used a piece of bamboo to support the top of the two "A", just to cover the roof.

As for how to cover the roof, Zhou Yu thought for a while, and could only use a lot of palm tree leaves to tie it up one by one.Anyway, this is also a temporary residence, as long as it is simple and waterproof and windproof.
