Live Wilderness Challenge

Chapter 144 Discovering the New World

"We all know that activated carbon has the effect of sterilization and deodorization, and can even absorb formaldehyde molecules in the air. In fact, charcoal also has these effects, but because the molecules of charcoal are larger than activated carbon, the adsorption effect is not obvious."

"However, charcoal does not have much effect in dealing with air formaldehyde, but it is more than enough to filter impurities in seawater."

Chen Xu smiled slightly, and took out a piece of black wood from the fire, which he had burned with fire and then simmered with sand. Compared with those carbonized tools, it was already completely charcoal.

Then, he found a stone, smashed the charcoal into powder, carefully sprinkled it on the other leg of the shorts, and then clipped it with cloth to form a charcoal filter.

"When we perform secondary filtration, we need to pour the seawater back. At this time, everyone must not forget to wash the previous vessel with fresh water, otherwise, it will be considered as a waste of filtration!"

Chen Xu reminded the audience, and then he washed the coconut shell with fresh water, put the shorts with charcoal on it, and filtered it to one side.

This time, because the coconut shell is very light in color, the contrast with the sea water is more obvious.

The audience saw at once that the water inside was completely clear, almost the same as fresh water!

"I have to take it, this is too powerful!"

"Master Xu always has all kinds of tricks to survive in the wild!"

"Fortunately, Lord Xu wore shorts this time, otherwise, it would be interesting to use underwear to filter!"

"Haha, when you talk about underwear, I seem to see Master Xu's sexy buttocks!"

Chen Xu looked at the bullet screen, a little dumbfounded.

After filtering, he washed the big stone platform with fresh water, and carefully sprinkled the seawater evenly on it.

Compared with putting it in the coconut and drying it intensively, spreading it out like this will increase the surface area, and it will dry faster.

Sure enough, the tropical sun was venomous, and before the hare meat was roasted, a little crystal white light appeared on the stone.

"almost!"

Chen Xu walked over immediately and saw a layer of white solid crystal particles formed on it.

I rubbed it with my finger, put it in my mouth, sucked it, and said excitedly: "Oh! Not bad, the taste is very close to the edible salt in the supermarket!"

"Congratulations to Lord Xu for getting the seasoning: salt!"

"Excellent, if you get some cumin, you will be invincible!"

"Haha, from now on, Master Xu's food will be upgraded to a whole new level!"

He was indeed a little excited.

A little salt not only guarantees survival, but more importantly, it means that his food is no longer just eating cooked meat, but is beginning to approach the taste of a civilized society.

Chen Xu scraped off all these crystals with a stone blade, and got about half a catty, which was enough for him to eat for a long time.

Before the hare was fully roasted, he hurriedly sprinkled a little on it.

After a few minutes, the hare was finally fully cooked.

Chen Xu took it off, blew on it, and bit it up, "Sweet!"

Feeling the change in the taste in his mouth, his whole tongue jumped for joy.

He ate more than half of a wild rabbit, and he wrapped the rest in palm leaves and buried it in the sand.

With salt, Chen Xu actually became more fond of eating than before.

However, he doesn't know how many wild rabbits there are on this island, so it's better to save some food!

In the afternoon, I took a short rest.

Chen Xu packed his things and continued to explore the island.

In fact, after two and a half days of searching, he has basically understood the environment of the island below the central part!

The central part has the highest terrain, which is the middle of the island, with many forests; the eastern part has the second highest terrain, with reefs and river valleys, and many banyan trees; the southern part has the lowest terrain, with beaches and jungles; the western part has medium terrain, with many grasses and woodlands, and is the area with the highest frequency of rabbits.

The only location I haven't been to yet is the north.

Because the purpose this time was to explore, he did not bring a bow and arrow or a kettle, but only a stone axe, and set out on a journey to search the northern part of the island.

Along the way, through the center of the island.

Chen Xu calculated: "It took me about 30 minutes to walk from the southernmost beach to the center of the island, and it took me an hour to walk from the southernmost beach to the west."

"According to the calculation of the average human mountain road of 4 kilometers per hour, the area of ​​this island is about 15 square kilometers. In the Pacific Ocean, this is already a large uninhabited desert island."

We walked for another ten minutes.

He saw the hoof prints again, "It seems that there is no doubt that there are wild boars on this island, and there are signs of activity from the west to the north. Let's ignore it for the time being, and go to the north to have a look first!"

To the north, there is also a cliff, the same as the east.

Chen Xu squinted his eyes to look at the sea ahead, and found a green triangle, his eyes lit up immediately, "Look! There seems to be a small island ahead!"

The audience took a look through the indented lens of the drone, hey, it really is a small island!

Moreover, it looks like the area is not small!

"666, is this the rhythm of opening a new map?"

"I guess it's almost the same. Master Xu has basically visited the island."

"Wo Cao, found a piece of the New World!"

"Nijima should have more resources, right?"

Chen Xu nodded when he saw the barrage:

"Everyone is right, this is good news, because more deserted islands represent more resources and opportunities, and also represent the hope of survival. However, I don't have the strength to get there yet, because the sea level It is flatter than the land, so it can be seen farther than the land."

"According to my estimation, this distance is at least 7 nautical miles, that is, more than 12 kilometers. Normally, it takes about 10-13 minutes for a human to swim one kilometer. That is to say, it takes me 4 hours to go back and forth. Even top swimmers can't keep swimming for so long!"

"However, I can make a boat as a means of transportation. However, it is not an easy task to make a boat that can sail back and forth on the ocean for four hours. You know, this is the world's largest In the Pacific Ocean, the waves are rough and the sharks are dense!"

"We still have to plan carefully before we can act!"

After finishing speaking, just as Chen Xu was about to leave, he suddenly discovered that there was a white object floating on the shore under the cliff.

"Look! There seems to be something hanging on the reef below!"

He lowered his head and took a closer look, "It looks like a piece of canvas! This is a good thing, a piece of canvas from the civilized world, it can be used for many purposes: sheets, rain covers, clothes, even sails!"

"You know, a boat that can sail in the Pacific Ocean for four hours, without the help of the sea wind, it is difficult to compete with the waves. I must get this canvas!"

Chapter 145 Hand speed is really fast!

"Wo Cao, the point is, this cliff is so steep, Master Xu, how do you go down!"

"I think so too. The stone wall is too smooth, even harder than the east coast of the island before!"

"It's really not possible, Master Xu, you can jump into the sea, anyway, you have practiced high-altitude diving!"

When Chen Xu saw the last barrage, he almost spewed blood to death, "The brother who made me jump into the sea, you want me to live broadcast suicide! There are too many reefs underneath, and the waves are so rough. Jump straight down, [-]% will explode."

"Think about it, maybe I can go to the east and find a banyan vine as a survival rope. This canvas is very important to me. For this reason, even if it takes a detour, it is worth it!"

After speaking, he turned his head and went to the east of the island.

In the banyan forest to the east, Chen Xu picked for a long time, chopped off a long vine as thick as a wrist with a stone axe, wrapped it into a bundle, and carried it on his back.

One back and one back, he spent nearly four ten minutes.

In the north, he twined the vine around an arbor.

After dying, Chen Xu tried to use his body to tug, "Yes, it should be able to bear my weight!"

Afterwards, he completely let go of the banyan vine and threw it down from the sea cliff.

Looking at it from this angle, the vine didn't seem to extend to the bottom of the sea, that is to say, it wasn't long enough!

"Fortunately, there is not much difference. Jumping into the sea from that point should not hurt you!"

Chen Xu measured the distance with his eyes and analyzed.

Since this method was feasible and safe, he rubbed his hands, moved his joints, and began to descend the cliff along the banyan vines.

The nearly ninety-degree cliff face is very difficult to climb.

Fortunately, the cliff face is not too high.

Seven minutes later, Chen Xu reached the end of the vine, and below him was two meters from the sea.

This distance is safe.

Let go.

Pfft!

Chen Xu fell into the sea, then floated up, swam to the white canvas, and picked it up.

"Hey! It's so heavy!"

It was a large off-white canvas, and it looked like it was supposed to cover the goods, with a huge English icon printed in red on it.

It has no practical meaning. According to the transliteration and direct reading, it is called Natia.

"This should be the cargo canvas of an ocean-going cruise line. For some unknown reason, it fell into the sea and was brought here by ocean currents!"

"Because it was soaked in seawater, it became very heavy, at least tens of kilograms, and I couldn't climb up with it at all. Try to see if it can float in the seawater. If it can, I may be able to float in the sea." Take a detour and find a suitable landing point."

So, Chen Xu grabbed the canvas, rolled it up, and carried it into the sea.

"Very good, it can float, and I can walk on water!"

With a smile on his face, he took the canvas and went swimming in the sea.

In order to avoid the stone ax falling into the sea, he deliberately changed it to hold it with his hands.

Just like that, Chen Xu started to swim westward around the island, "If I remember correctly, the terrain in the east is also very high, so I can only see the coast that is easy to land on if I swim westward!"

The waves in the north are rough.

But after swimming for a short time, I avoided it.

As he swam, he looked at the terrain on the shore.

But at this moment, a black shadow appeared near him!

"Fuck! Master Xu, there's a big guy in the water next to you!"

"Can't be a shark?"

"Maybe, Master Xu, at least two meters, run!"

When Chen Xu saw the barrage, he was startled, and then looked back.

as predicted!

There was really a huge gray shark, about the same length as him, at least close to two meters, and the tall fins were very obvious in the water.

And after seeing the characteristics of the "high fin", he looked at the shark's "eyes" and heaved a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, this is just a lead gray shark, also known as the high fin white eye shark, which is called the white eye shark. A species of the genus Sharkidae, distributed in temperate and tropical waters around the world, and is one of the least aggressive sharks."

"However, since it appears in this sea area, there are likely to be other sharks. I must hurry up and swim as soon as possible!"

After swimming for more than ten minutes, Chen Xu finally saw a beach in front of him, so he swam quickly, dragged the canvas ashore, twisted off the water, rolled it neatly, put it on his shoulders, and began to prepare to return to the campsite.

And when passing through a jungle, Chen Xu suddenly found a fiery red snake coiled on a tree.

It was the first time for the audience in the live broadcast room to see a red snake, and they were immediately curious:

"My God, this snake looks so pretty!"

"Master Xu, is this snake extremely poisonous?"

"Master Xu said: Hmph! It's unlucky for you to meet me as the number one jungler in the world!"

Chen Xu looked at the barrage, shook his head and explained: "This is called a brown tree snake. It is mostly distributed in East Indonesia, the Solomon Islands and other Pacific islands. It is not a poisonous snake. On the contrary, it is not only non-venomous, but its teeth are not very sharp. Basically harmless."

"However, it has a very high tree-climbing ability, which is very terrifying. The famous Guam brown tree snake incident was caused by it. Three-quarters of the forest bird species became extinct, half of the lizards, and a considerable number of bats , it is almost well-deserved one of the 'forest killers'!"

While talking, he picked up the stone axe.

Without further ado, just go up.

boom!
