Chapter 02 Tinder
Qin Xiaochuan can see that what you can eat directly on the island is coconuts and a few wild pear trees. Coconut water can quench thirst, coconut meat can be used, and vitamin supplements. The pears are OK, but he doesn't like to eat pears very much, let alone this very sour wild pear.
The yield of coconut is very high, and its fruits can go with the flow on the sea, bringing seeds to any suitable coast that grows well and takes root and sprout. Generally, coconut trees live a long life span or even more than a hundred years, and a single coconut tree can bear fruit between seventy and one hundred.
The dozens of trees on the island are now in the ripening stage of fruits, each of which is full of hangs, and there are still ripe and fallen under the trees, which can be said to be able to satisfy the water supply for a long time.
Qin Xiaochuan picked up a coconut that was almost as big as a football from the ground and shook it. The sound inside was very small and there was plenty of moisture.
The coconut shell is relatively hard and it is really difficult to open without sharp tools. It can be smashed open, but it will be too much waste. Qin Xiaochuan touched the forest for a long time but couldn't find any sharp stones. It was really difficult to find sharp stones under the rainfall on the beach all year round.
However, this did not cause Qin Xiaochuan to pick up a stone and smash it hard on the reef. The stones were split into pieces. From it, it found a sharp bulge and poked back and forth towards the corners of the coconut.
After knocking dozens of times, the coconut shell outside finally cracked and a large piece fell off with one hand.
Qin Xiaochuan raised his head and poured all the juice into his mouth. The sweet coconut juice went straight into his throat and into his abdomen. The fatigue of building a leather shelter suddenly dissipated.
After drinking the coconut juice, there was a thick pulp on the inner wall of the coconut shell. Qin Xiaochuan reached out and pulled it down and put it into his mouth. It was soft and refreshing. Although it didn't taste much, the coconut meat was rich in a lot of protein. In reality, carbohydrates were indeed a good product to satisfy hunger when there was no better food source. As for the game, it probably played a role in filling the stomach.
When Qin Xiaochuan was about to collect the coconuts falling from the ground and move them back to his shack, he suddenly found a golden light spot on the map on his watch. When he clicked it, he marked the unknown.
This immediately aroused Qin Xiaochuan's curiosity. He followed the light spot and found that the light spot was at the highest point on the island, where there was a mangrove with a thick thigh, and the blue light spots and golden light spots were displayed alternately.
Qin Xiaochuan circled around the mangroves and found no problem, but the golden light spot was indeed in front of him.
"That's all that could be underground."
This golden light aroused Qin Xiaochuan's strong curiosity. He found a hard wooden strip and began to dig a hole under the tree.
The soil here is not very soft. Qin Xiaochuan dug for a long time before digging a small hole, which is already half exhausted.
Unfortunately, Qin Xiaochuan had to give up this point for the time being and return to the shack to rest. After looking at the blueprint, the manufacturing station had four hours to CD, so he decided to go offline and have lunch.
Qin Xiaochuan took off his holographic game helmet and happened to see Zhao Fei coming out of the toilet. When he saw Qin Xiaochuan, he picked up the two rice bowls next to the water dispenser and said, "Let's go, go down to get food."
He and Zhao Fei are both senior students in the computer department of Rongcheng University. They have to say goodbye to the school in a few months. All the credits are almost over. Now it is the boring period of waiting for graduation. "Survival in the Desert Island" has come out. I heard that virtual reality technology is quite awesome and the market is in a good position. They decided to go in and take a look and just play.
All the way to the canteen near the dormitory building, almost all the students on the way were discussing the game of survival on the deserted island. The official announcement of the billions of registered people around the world is indeed not built.
Qin Xiaochuan took his eyes back from them and turned to Zhao Fei, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall and had a buzz cut next to him, and said, "Oh, have you set up a shelter?"
"No... I'm going to build it in the afternoon. Don't say that the game is really immersive. I finally caught a crab in the morning. The pincers turned around and grabbed me, which hurt me. Later, I set the fire and roasted it directly. The smell was so fragrant that I felt like I had really eaten a crab when I stepped off the game."
"Make a fire?" Qin Xiaochuan didn't expect that Zhao Fei could even know this skill.
"Yes, drilling wood to make fire. That thing took a bit of time. I took a dry tree branch and grinded it on the stone for a long time before it sharpened. Then I rubbed it back and forth hard on a piece of dry wood. Finally, it really smoked and ignited it with the fluff on the coconut shell. It seemed that I had obtained a 200-point Raushzi technology point, unlocking a blueprint for a bonfire, which should be used to keep warm and preserve the fire."
Qin Xiaochuan nodded. This is a very important point. It seems that some people are still busy in the afternoon.
After dinner, Qin Xiaochuan and Zhao Fei entered the game respectively. There were still three hours left in the manufacturing station, so he decided to drill wood to make fire first.
I found a relatively straight wooden stick. According to the method Zhao Fei said, I found a rock with a rough surface and started rubbing wildly. Perhaps the wooden stick was very dry, and after a few grinding, it really got sharp. He found a larger piece of wood, then stuck the stick on it, clasped his hands together and rubbed it quickly like a hemp rope.
After rubbing for two minutes, Qin Xiaochuan said that his hands could not stand it anymore. The wooden strip was a little protruding, and it felt uncomfortable when rubbed with both hands and a little painful.
But I have to endure the pain. After rubbing it for ten minutes, the end of the wooden stick began to gradually turn yellow and black, with a little sign of heat and carbonization. After rubbing it continuously for nearly half an hour, Qin Xiaochuan was surprised to see a trace of blue smoke coming out from the bottom. At this time, the force on his hand couldn't help but increase.
Soon the smoke increased, and Qin Xiaochuan could already see Mars from the end of the wooden stick. When Mars was obvious, he put down the wooden stick and grabbed the coconut velvet prepared in advance to wrap the little Mars remaining on the wooden blocks, and carefully blew in the air.
The dry and flammable coconut velvet quickly smoked when it hit Mars. When the wind blew, the flames suddenly blew up. Qin Xiaochuan hurriedly placed the ignition of fire on the ground and began to add the ignition of dead leaves and fine wood branches on it.
The fire became stronger and stronger. Qin Xiaochuan collapsed on the ground tiredly, looking at his hands being almost bubbled.
"Ding! You have successfully obtained the fire, Tech Point 2, unlock the blueprint: bonfire!"
The expected system prompt rang out quickly. He looked at the conditions for making the bonfire, which required twenty parts of stone and ten parts of wood. It was used to keep warm, cook and preserve the fire for a long time.
As long as the bonfire is replenished regularly, it can burn continuously and even preserve the fire on rainy days. This blueprint can be said to be very important. Fire is the top priority for heating at night and rainy days.
Qin Xiaochuan looked at the time on his watch. It was two o'clock in the afternoon and he started wandering around the island again. Before it was dark, he had to collect enough wood and stone, so he didn't want to get frozen at night.
