The days of surviving on a deserted island with the young lady

Chapter 162 Star Map
Sailing on the sea is definitely not an easy task. The sea is full of unknown risks than the land.

On land, the worst thing is to run away and struggle for a while, but in the sea, you really can't answer every day, and the ground doesn't work.

Unless you grow gills and fins like a fish, it only takes 10 minutes for an ordinary person to fall into the cold deep sea to suck the heat out of your body.

Your body will gradually become stiff and numb, your physical strength will slowly lose, and finally you can only indulge in the deep sea unwillingly.

Unless it is Mr. Bo, who has a body that cannot be measured by ordinary people, ordinary people fall into the deep sea, and there is absolutely no possibility of surviving without timely rescue.

Qin Xiaonian and the others had been sailing on the sea for almost a day, the sun gradually sank, night fell, and the sea finally swept away the previous heat and became cooler.

Several people finally got out of the cabin to breathe the fresh air of the sea.

I have to say that the scenery on the sea has a special charm. The stars above the sky are particularly bright. Looking at the starry sky under the dark night, it is particularly shocking and has a great visual impact.

"It's so beautiful!" Mu Keke looked at the night sky and sighed sincerely.

"In the future, let's watch the starry sky together like this, okay?" Mu Keke blushed slightly, and turned to ask Qin Xiaonian who was sitting beside her.

And Qin Xiaonian didn't speak, but just held her hand tightly.

In addition to the sky full of stars, there are also various plankton shining in the open sea, so it seems that the blue sea is full of mystery.

Suddenly, groups of luminous objects floating over the sea in the distance attracted everyone's attention.

"What are those glowing things?" He Tao asked.

"Those things are jellyfish, and jellyfish are generally highly poisonous, so don't touch them out of curiosity." Qin Xiaonian explained aloud.

Jellyfish do not have the ability to move by themselves. They float on the sea level, rely on ocean currents to drive their bodies, and make a living by filtering microorganisms in seawater on weekdays.

"I heard that jellyfish are also called jellyfish. Cold jellyfish skin is delicious! How about we catch a jellyfish and try it out?"

He Tao suggested.

"The salt content of jellyfish is too high. It can't be done. You have to drink a lot of water to eat something like this high salt content. We have limited fresh water, and the water collected by a self-made distiller is not enough."

"So we have to make good use of every share of fresh water on board to avoid a fresh water crisis, do you understand?" Qin Xiaonian said in a deep voice.

"Understood Brother Nian!" Everyone replied in unison.

Qin Xiaonian's words are not groundless. Under normal circumstances, a person can survive for a week without eating or drinking, but can survive for [-] days with water and without food, which shows the importance of water to the human body.

Moreover, the sea is windy and hot, and the water in the body evaporates faster, and a large amount of fresh water is needed to replenish it, so every drop of water is precious.

Qin Xiaonian and the others had already brought all the containers that could hold water onto the boat before they set off. Several large and small containers were firmly tied to the raft, containing dozens of liters of fresh water.

And at the stern of the ship is a distiller made by Qin Xiaonian, which is composed of two large and small barrels. The large barrel is filled with seawater and covered with a transparent plastic sheet. A heavy object is placed in the middle of the plastic sheet to form a funnel.

When the sun continues to irradiate and heat up, the water in the large bucket will evaporate and be intercepted by the plastic sheet, and then drip into the small bucket in the middle. The small bucket is covered with a baffle and only a small hole is left to prevent the precious fresh water inside from evaporating out together.

This distiller can collect about [-] milliliters of fresh water every day. Although it is not a lot, it still has a way to get water. In addition to the original fresh water, as long as it is properly arranged, there is a high probability that there will be no fresh water crisis.

In everyone's impression, the temperature of the sea at night should be relatively low, but no, the sea is quite warm, and the temperature is just right when you put your feet in it.

Several people sat by the side of the boat, soaking their feet while admiring the scenery, and told each other their excitement about going to sea for the first time.

The group of people had already left the small island a long way away, and at some point, the figure of the small island had disappeared, and for a while, everyone felt a little bit reluctant in their hearts.

But this reluctance was soon buried by the joy of going to sea.

"Look at the star in the northeast direction of the sky, that star is Sirius!"

Mu Keke pointed to the air and marveled.

"Really? Where is it?" Xiaorou and the others asked curiously, and then turned their eyes to the direction Mu Keke pointed.

Sirius is the brightest star among the thousands of stars that can be detected by the naked eye, and is often used as a guidepost by people.

Qin Xiaonian frowned, and couldn't help being secretly surprised.

There is a marked route on the map that will pass through Sirius, but because of insufficient knowledge, I cannot determine the location of Sirius.

Listening to what Mu Keke said now, it seems that he has not gone the wrong way.

"Not bad, you can still accurately debate the position of Sirius from so many stars! Could it be that you have studied astrology?"

Qin Xiaonian was surprised by Mu Keke's behavior.

"I have read a strange book in my family, called Star Atlas, which is an ancient book dedicated to describing mysterious astrology."

"In the age when technology was not so developed, the ancients had their own positioning methods. On land, they could locate by looking at the direction of the mountains and dragon veins, and on the ocean, they could locate by looking at the tides of western-style buildings."

"And the most mysterious and ancient positioning method is to look at the star map. Not only our country has this method, but also all over the world have their own set of theories. Divination and positioning by observing the natural stars has derived countless mysterious mysteries for thousands of years. .”

"The star atlas I read was a remnant handed down by the Royal Sitianjian back then. It recorded some unique methods of distinguishing stars, and I only learned a little bit."

Mu Keke explained aloud.

Hearing what Mu Keke said, Qin Xiaonian became very interested in this technique of astrology, and he didn't pay much attention to it on weekdays, because the sky is full of stars, which are as vast as the sea, and the viewers are dazzled. , I have to study hard and study hard.

"Look, there's a huge area of ​​water glowing ahead!"

Wang Zhepei suddenly stood up in surprise and said.

Everyone turned their attention from the sky to the distant sea, and sure enough, the large sea area in the distance was shining!It is particularly conspicuous in this dark sea.

Qin Xiaonian picked up the binoculars and took a closer look. Then he said slowly with strangeness: "We seem to have arrived at the first destination."

This is half a day earlier than the original schedule!
(The author reminds me again hoarsely! The protagonist and his party will not leave the island so soon, please don’t underestimate me!!! The story of the island’s adventure is still very long and exciting, keep reading!)
