Deserted Island: The Survival Journey of a Beautiful President

Living on a deserted island No. 40 days.

Mo Qing counted the consumption of food and supplies these days.

Food is replenished every day, mainly from hunting, fishing, and wild fruit picking.

The food currently stored is enough for four people in the team to maintain the most basic food intake for five days.

In terms of weapons, wooden spears wear out very quickly, and a spear has to be reworked after five to six normal uses.

Sometimes the spear would be broken and lost during the hunting process. To this day, there are only three wooden spears left.

The two steel spears have not had any problems except for changing the spearhead a few times.

In terms of medical supplies, Mo Qing was injured during this period and had to take anti-inflammatory drugs and wipe iodine every day.

Therefore, the loss of medicine is very large.

And they don't have much medicine, only a medical kit.

Inside the box are a pack of medical cotton swabs, a bottle of povidone iodine (more than half used), triangular towels, gauze, some cold medicines, and a box and a half of amoxicillin.

Weapons and food can be obtained on the island, but medical supplies are used less once.

Especially vital anti-inflammatory drugs.

Before the invention of penicillin, there were countless cases of soldiers dying from injuries and infections, but after the invention of penicillin, this situation was greatly reduced.

As a type of penicillin, amoxicillin is powerful and can treat a variety of inflammations caused by bacterial infections.

It is one of the most basic guarantees for the life of Mo Qing's team.

In the harsh desert island, injuries are common.

And every injury may cause bacterial infection. The human body is fragile, and you never know which injury will lead to your death.

But it is impossible for Mo Qing to conjure medicine out of thin air.

If there is a Chinese medicine doctor in the team, he doesn't need to worry about it.

Chinese medicine can use local materials, and everything can be made into medicine.

In addition to the above three aspects, the rest of the sundries are ignored.

After counting the supplies, Mo Qing decided to make weapons today.

To give back to Ye Yuan's team, weapons are essential.

But now he faces his first problem.

Mo Qing's multi-functional knife was snatched by Ye Yuan before, and now it is estimated that it is still in the opponent's hands.

Before making wooden spears, he used his multi-purpose knife to sharpen them bit by bit.

But this did not bother Mo Qing, he quickly came up with a solution.

Tin lids for meat cans.

Find a few large leaves, wrap half of the iron cover, tie vines, and use it as a knife handle.

This makes a simple knife.

It's not particularly sharp, and it's not as easy to use as a utility knife, but it's better than nothing.

Survival is what it is, you can't always have the best gear.

So you have to learn to use all the available items around you.

It is not the first time to make a wooden spear, so Mo Qing and others are very proficient in making it.

But it is far from enough to have a wooden spear.

What they have to face is the ferocious beasts on this deserted island, and the same kind that are eyeing tigers.

It is very easy to put yourself in danger just by being close to a weapon.

The best way is to attack from a distance.

Nowadays, all kinds of modern weapons invented by humans are almost all long-range attacks.

When you haven't discovered it, just blast it into slag.

Of course, Mo Qing couldn't make modern weapons, but the ancient bows and crossbows were still fine.

The bow is simple to make, easy to obtain materials, and has a long range, but it has extremely high requirements for the shooter and cannot be accurate.

As a mechanical weapon, the crossbow has a complex structure and requires high craftsmanship. Compared with the bow, the crossbow has a shorter training period and higher precision.

Regarding the choice of these two weapons, Mo Qing chose the first without hesitation.

The main reason is that he doesn't know how to make crossbows either.

In the "Kao Gong Ji" written during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is recorded that there are six materials for making bows: stem, horn, tendon, glue, silk, and lacquer, collectively known as the six materials.

For a well-made bow, these six materials are indispensable.

But Mo Qing only needs a slightly powerful bow with a long range.

So there is absolutely no need for Liucai's lacquer (the material that is applied to the bow to prevent rain and dew from being eaten by insects).

Among the remaining five materials, the one that gave Mo Qing the most headache was the bow string, that is, the tendons.

Other things can be replaced by other things, but the bowstring is very difficult, and it needs to have enough elasticity, toughness and other characteristics.

The best material is animal tendon.

At present, Mo Qing can think of the animal tendons that can be used to make bowstrings, which are the wild boar and tiger on this island.

No matter which of the two it is, Mo Qing can't avoid it, and to provoke them is purely to kick their ass - looking for shit!

This is also the reason why Mo Qing chooses to make bows until today.

"The bow must be made. We must have powerful weapons that can deal with Ye Yuan and the others. Otherwise, we will easily suffer losses every time we encounter them."

Mo Qing glanced at the other three, "So do you have any good suggestions?"

"If it's bowstring material, I think..."

Zhang Yiming's face was tangled, as if he was making the most difficult decision in his life.
