Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 129No.80 One Day, Guidance ([-])

The meaning of this notebook to me is unimaginable. The more I turn it back, the more amazed I am. The latter part is the plan of Xiao Hei's former owner.Most importantly, he also drew pictures of every step and practice.

This kind of record with pictures and steps gave me the opportunity to follow suit, but I also knew very well that he probably died without even trying these things.Because there are no such things in his tree house, including the yard.

Only mortise and tenon joints were found in his tree house, and it is likely that these are just his future plans, which are all so important to me.Fire tiles, pottery vessels, make charcoal and more.There is also a structural diagram of the perfect house, which can be much stronger than the current tree house with a little improvement.All of a sudden, I feel that there is not enough time, I want to try everything, and I don’t know which one to do first.

After reading it yesterday, it was almost early morning, but I was lying on the quilt, but I never fell asleep. My brain was very active, which made my tired body protest countless times.

After falling asleep, I also had a sweet dream.This dream only ended when I woke up now.

The sun had already risen to the top of the head, and it was surprising to find that Little Lightning was still sleeping, not as noisy as before.After shaking it awake, it was fed half a bottle of honey water.After cooking something casually and eating, he started the planned work.

Xiao Hei didn't know where to go anymore, whether he went to play ball or went to the place yesterday.It can be seen that this ball is Xiao Hei's favorite, and even sleeps with the ball in his own nest.

My goal is to cut down some trees. Both big and small trees are needed. Of course, the more the better, there is no bamboo on this island, so if it is not needed, it will not be so troublesome.Cutting trees is a physical labor. Fortunately, there is a forest not far away, and with the help of an axe, the speed is relatively faster than that of Xiao Hei's former owner.

In more than two hours, a total of twelve small trees were dragged back. This is already the fastest possible speed. The tiger's mouth is numb from the shock, and it may really hurt if it is cut down.

These small trees will be used to build a new open cabin, as a work shed, where you can do some work when it rains, and the days ahead will be very busy.

After cutting off all the branches of the small tree, I began to choose the thickest tree trunk and try to make a mortise according to the records in the notebook. There are no lack of tools now. First, use a Swiss army knife to draw a mortise shape, and then insert Dig slowly in this shape. After digging a little, hit the Swiss army knife with the back of the axe to deepen the hole. The mortise does not need to penetrate, and the depth only needs to be in the middle of the trunk. .

Soon, the mortises of the two tree trunks were finished. According to the recorded information, if the mortises were burned with small burning wood, the firmness and smoothness of the mortises could be guaranteed, and its firmness could be greatly improved. Raising, so I took a few flaming pieces of wood from the house fire with an axe, and set them into the four mortises.About 5 minutes or so, it's done when the inside of the mortise is charred.

Next, we can build a work shed. Four trunks were selected, two of which were about [-] meters long, and the other two were two meters long.Insert them individually into the pre-dug soil holes.

After inserting it, put the mortised branches on it, and then fix it with vines.After cutting some tree trunks and tying them to the sloping roof, the prototype of this work shed is completed.The advantage of this kind of work shed is that it is simple and practical.

Just tie the trunks of these slopes with vines, and finally throw the extra coconut leaves that fell on it last time.I know very well that this simple work shed cannot withstand the violent typhoon of last time.But in the afternoon, the weather has turned a lot worse, and it looks like it may rain again in the next few days.At this time, the only way to build this shed is as quickly as possible.

According to the records in the notebook, if I want to build the shed perfectly, it will take at least three days. Even if I have the tools, two days are still necessary.But looking at the weather, I don't have that much time, so I have to finish it as soon as possible.Originally, more supports were needed to make the shed stronger.But in the end if it is abandoned.

It is not a few hours before it gets dark, and the sun is covered by the clouds from time to time, so as not to go out in the rain for the next few days, or do nothing in the tree house.I still have to be fully prepared.

The branches and leaves that were dried outside, including those just cut down, were all received by me in the tree house as firewood reserves. In addition, it took another three to 10 minutes to pick up some dead wood and fallen branches.These are all prepared for the coming rainy day. Last time the rain lasted for so many days, I was really afraid that one day it would really stop raining.No fire means losing everything to me.

……

Following the instructions in this notebook, I finally found this huge termite nest near a large arrowroot field. I dug up many pieces of soil from the termite nest and filled the entire plastic basket.Then, ignoring the termites running around, he went back to the tree house.

After I came to the yard, I dug a hole in the shed, about half a meter long, and put all the soil dug from the termite nests into it, then scooped up a large basin of water, and poured the water into it.According to the records of Xiao Hei's former owner, when he found this termite nest, he knew that he would soon get pottery, even tiles and so on.Maybe it's also to remind myself that I'm afraid I'll forget.So here is a detailed record of each step.

And the step I am doing now is exactly the very important link written above. The soil dug from these termite nests must be poured into the pit, and after adding water, break up the agglomerated soil with an ax, and Then I pushed it into the soil pit in the work shed. After adding water, I jumped down. The soil was so wet that I stepped on it. I also needed to crush some dry grass and add it in to prevent the utensils or tiles from being fired later. The pieces will burst open.

All of this, I followed the steps exactly.This step is what he calls "ripening"

When I didn't have all of last night, the rain started to fall as expected.Fortunately, there is a work shed here, so there is no need to worry.Pottery can't be made right away. It's clearly stated above that the embryo needs to be made first, and it can only be fired after the embryo is dry.If it is not dry fired, it will definitely burst.

But fortunately, the fire will help me dry them when the sun is not out.

Soon, I started to try to make mud embryos... This is not difficult...
