This will expand the current bamboo flume of about 60 meters to 180 meters.
Previously, Zhang Liu asked Anya and Lan Yueting to calculate the approximate distance from the shelter on the east side of the mountain to the waterfall on the top of the mountain by walking and inserting poles.
At that time they inserted a total of seventy-six rods.
After removing the head and tail, there should be seventy-six sections of water tank.
But this is only theoretical data.
During today's installation process, Zhang Liu had discovered, based on bamboo as a relatively standard reference, that the distance between the poles they had inserted did not reach twenty meters.
It is estimated to be only about fifteen or sixteen meters.
After a simple calculation, Zhang Liu determined that the number of bamboo sinks could be reduced significantly.
It is estimated to be around fifty or sixty.
He felt that he should be able to carry all nine sinks in one afternoon.
In addition, when the four girls return to the shelter on the top of the mountain to spend the night, each of them pulls one, so at least four more water troughs can be added.
This adds up to thirteen.
Moreover, the distance is shortened as the road is laid from the top of the mountain downwards.
The more you lay it, the faster it will be.
When we reached the mountainside, we said hello to everyone and discussed the specific division of labor for tonight, then carried the three new water troughs and walked up.
Zhang Liu has roughly estimated that if he wants to completely complete the laying of the bamboo sink, the construction period will probably be tomorrow afternoon or the day after tomorrow morning.
This was a time point that he could completely accept. After all, in this wilderness, everyone had little food and water, no clothes to wear, and even their underwear could only be washed once every other day with their crotch bare.
But the only thing I have is free time...
By dusk, Anya and Su Yan's bamboo house had made great progress. They had already completed the roof and two walls, and used double-layer branch fences on the roof and walls to lay the structure.
In terms of density, it is definitely twice as many as the first bamboo house at the foot of the mountain.
This is because they took into account that the rainy season might be "rainy and cloudy", so they made it thicker on purpose.
This way, the roof and walls can be more waterproof.
Xiang Wanying and Lan Yueting had already cut down 23 bamboos. In the afternoon, they started a bamboo-cutting competition that only they understood. In the end, Lan Yueting won with the advantage of one more bamboo.
If they continue at this pace, they will be able to cut down all the remaining bamboo by tomorrow noon.
Before coming down for the third time, Zhang Liu had already rekindled the fire in the shelter on the top of the mountain and stuffed a lot of large pieces of firewood into it to prevent it from going out.
He also took the completely cooled "lard honeycomb candle" with him. He planned to test whether the PLS version had been successfully developed when he had time in the evening.
Then the five of them separated on the mountainside.
Boys go down and girls go up.
The four girls returned to the shelter on the top of the mountain. Their job was to collect the first batch of dried taro powder, feed the little wild boars, and organize everything that could be taken down from the shelter.
At the same time, everyone privately decided to go to the taro forest on the top of the mountain tomorrow morning to pick fresh taro as a food supplement.
And Zhang Liu has already started working in the shelter on the mountainside.
He wanted to break up all the bamboo piled on the ground and remove the central bamboo nodes so that he could pick them up tomorrow morning.
At the same time, Zhang Liu, who was making a fire, was also considering one thing, that is, whether he should set a fire to burn the wasteland?
The bamboo house currently under construction is located at the entrance of the mountainside. Apart from three large trees standing side by side, there is basically no flammable material.
At the same time, the three large trees standing side by side are at least five meters away from the bamboo house. Even if they catch fire, they may not burn the bamboo house.
So if we can cut down all the bamboo and trees first, and then build a firebreak about three meters wide around them, and then use the weeds found everywhere as fuel to ignite the remaining roots of these thick trees and bamboo roots.
When the fire starts to burn, all the tree roots and bamboo roots that seem very difficult to deal with will have to kneel down and kowtow to it.
In this way, everyone should be able to carry out the subsequent felling work very conveniently.
This fire is likely to also kill the roots of weeds on the ground, preventing them from growing out and destroying the structure of the bamboo house.
Although the slash-and-burn method is relatively primitive and there is a possibility of burning the mountain if you are not careful, it is indeed a very effective method.
The roots of bamboo and trees buried deep in the ground will definitely become much more fragile after being burned.
It won't be too much trouble to deal with them then.
Sitting in the bamboo house with a roof and two walls already erected, Zhang Liu poured a sip of mint water into his mouth which contained a piece of honeycomb.
The sweet and cool liquid subconsciously lifted his spirits.
It also successfully gets rid of part of the current exhausted state.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Liu began to stand up and break the bamboo.
He needed to turn all the bamboos piled near the bamboo house into bamboo sinks before sleeping.
When Zhang Liu started working, the girls in the shelter on the top of the mountain did not rest either.
Now it was getting dark and the probability of the boys coming back was zero, so they made a bold decision.
That is to work together with bare buttocks, soaking all the underwear, socks and clothes in water to remove the odor.
And after being so "frank" with each other.
Su Yan's skin was as white as milk and her hair was of a special color. Xiang Wanying had a mature and attractive figure. Lan Yueting had a proud talent based on her genetic advantage...
The three of them had dealt a heavy blow to Anya, whose figure was average and whose skin was only slightly better than Xiang Wanying and Lan Yueting's.
But for the sake of face, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
The first batch of taro flour has been dried. The original weight is six taro, but after drying, it only fills up half a bamboo tube.
In terms of volume, the loss rate is well over 70 percent.
However, the shelf life of taro flour is far longer than that of taro itself.
After chopping the third large taro, adding water and placing it under the "semi-automatic taro paste maker", everyone started their dinner.
Fruit and roasted taro are the staple food, the meat is two smoked pork leg bones, and the dessert is naturally mint leaves and honeycomb honey.
Since a small clay pot was in use, they used an underground oven to make the smoked pork leg bones this time.
Chapter 373: Experience is the greatest manifestation of progress
Meanwhile, inside the Green Pool Shelter.
Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang, Xiang Lingying, and Gu Qingrou were also sitting side by side beside the fire.
Behind them was the triangular shelter with its entrance facing the rock face.
At this moment it was reflecting the heat from the campfire, providing warmth for the four people.
Inside the fire were six small clay bowls that had long been dried in the shade.
There were also four small clay bowls in front of the four people.
These four were thrown into the earthen kiln by Zhang Liu before he left, and perhaps even he himself had forgotten about them.
But now it was found by Gu Qingrou when she was searching around.
And it successfully served as the rice bowl for everyone's meal tonight.
Marinated pork cubes are soaked in a clay bowl.
This is because it tastes too salty.
Therefore, before cutting the skewers into pieces and grilling them, you must soak them in clean water to remove some of the saltiness.
Beside Qin Ruoyan, Gu Qingrou was looking at the "big tree tongue" which had a large piece broken off.
His eyes were full of curiosity.
When she was on the road, she actually didn't quite believe that this thing could preserve the fire for a long time.
But the bonfire in front of him clearly illustrates this point.
"It's a pity that there is no second piece, otherwise we could have started a fire in the cave." Qin Ruoyan picked up a bottle of water with honeycomb and mint leaves, noticed the look of the girl next to her, took a sip, and said with some regret: "This kind of thing is really hard to come by, and I don't know when I will find it next time."
"It's okay. We can still use bottles to make fire after we return to the cave." Hearing her sister's words, Qin Ruoshuang quickly comforted her softly, "Zhang Liu used the method of turning wood to make fire to light the first pile of fire before."
After she said this, everyone present became curious about Zhang Liu's previous life.
For a moment, everyone's eyes shifted over, including Qin Ruoyan.
"What...what happened?"
Qin Ruoshuang spoke awkwardly, not knowing why everyone was looking at her like that.
"Ruoshuang, there's nothing else to do now, so why don't you tell me about Zhang Liu's initial situation here." Qin Ruoyan reached out and pressed the piece of meat in the small bowl, and found that it was still stiff. She then began to ask about something that suddenly made her curious.
"Well……"
After hesitating for a few seconds, Qin Ruoshuang told the whole story from the first time she and Zhang Liu met.
She had already mentioned some of these things to her sister.
Such as being fished out of the water by Zhang Liu.
But some have never been mentioned.
For example, lying on the beach with Zhang Liu and looking at the stars, and the other person talking about wanting to eat "magic beef" or something like that.
After this was said, the other three people all got to know a new Zhang Liu.
Just when Qin Ruoshuang was proudly showing that "Zhang Liu and I were the first to know each other", a boy who was lying in the bamboo house, who was so tired after cutting bamboo that he was too lazy to chew the honeycomb, suddenly sneezed.
"Hmm... is it because the grass is too cold?" Rubbing his nose, Zhang Liu's eyes fell on the grass beneath him, and then he felt a little helpless.
He actually has a nearly perfect plan on how to build a perfectly warm bamboo house.
But the details are too complicated.
Although there is no shortage of time on this deserted island, the infrastructure must be built as quickly as possible.
Therefore, plans such as firing brick floors to improve the happiness of life should be done later when there is time...
With a slight sigh, Zhang Liu turned around and looked at the burning and jumping fire. Looking at the frequency of the flames jumping, he was a little dazed for a moment.
In wilderness survival shows, campfires are also known as "jungle TV".
Because people can easily kill time or relax by staring at it.
This is exactly the situation for Zhang Liu right now. As the flames flicker, his eyelids also twitch slightly.
It only took a short while for Zhang Liu, who had eaten a few bites of fruit and honeycomb to fill his stomach, to fall into a deep sleep due to physical fatigue and mental relaxation.
At midnight, the howling of wolves sounded on time near the Goat Jungle.
Compared to Zhang Liu who was sleeping soundly in the hill, Xiang Wanying and others.
Qin Ruoyan and others who were near the green pool were instantly awakened.
Looking at each other, Qin Ruoyan, Qin Ruoshuang, and Gu Qingrou, who were lying on the beds in the shelter, looked at Xiang Lingying, who had failed the rock-paper-scissors game before going to bed and had to take on the duty of keeping watch.
At this moment, she was also holding a small knife and looking towards the northeast direction where the wolf howling came from with a vigilant expression.
"Ouch..."
"Woo..."
However, the wolf howls kept circling in the sky and there was no sign of any approaching.
After confirming this, Xiang Lingying, who was originally a little nervous because of the wolf howl, breathed a sigh of relief.
Unlike Qin Ruoyan, who had been attacked by a lone wolf and was still in a nervous state.
She had personally experienced being hunted by wolves.
So we understand that the sounds of these terrifying predators will get closer and closer when they attack. When the attack really begins, the prey will only feel fear and will not hear any wolf howls.
At the moment, Xiang Lingying felt that he only needed to be a little vigilant and careful about the steady echo of the wolf howl.
There is no need to be too scared.
As she expressed her views to everyone.
Qin Ruoyan also breathed a sigh of relief and then lay down again.
Qin Ruoshuang and Gu Qingrou beside her also relaxed a lot.
