Chapter 234 - Plan pass
With sails, the drifting speed of the life raft is significantly increased.
The waves carried the light raft to the distance, especially when the wind was strong, they could walk at least tens of kilometers every day.
According to Bi Fang’s previous judgment, the program team threw him into the North Atlantic, so he should float to the east, so that the chance of encountering land is greater.
“The main way to identify directions at sea is to rely on a compass. Without a compass, we can only rely on the sun or stars. If we have a watch, we can use the watch and the sun to determine the direction. There are many ways to use the watch to see the direction.
The easiest way is to lay the watch flat so that the hour hand is aligned with the sun, and the bisector of the angle between the hour hand and the 12 o’clock on the watch dial that is less than one hundred and eighty degrees points to the south. “
Here comes, it’s time for Fang Shen to show off his skills again.
The audience pricked their ears, wondering if there was nothing to tell the direction on the ocean.
The situation seems to be worse than that of the desert, at least the desert can be distinguished by the sand dunes.
“Of course, you can’t be sure that you are level at sea, so you have to use other methods, and other methods are more complicated…”
The earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours and 15 degrees in an hour, and the hour hand of a watch always turns twice as fast as the sun. Based on this principle, the position can be roughly measured with the watch and the sun.
At 6 o’clock in the morning, the sun is roughly in the east and the shadow points to the west. At this time, point the hour hand on the watch to the sun, and the “12” on the dial points to the west.
If the dial rotates 90 degrees, it is about to be folded in half at 6 o’clock, so that the word “3” on the dial faces the sun, and the word “12” points to the north.
At 12 noon, the sun is in the south. Fold the 12 in half so that the “6” on the dial faces the sun, and the “12” still refers to the north.
Changing the time in other time periods in turn, the effect is the same.
“The above method is only suitable for use in the north of the Tropic of Cancer. If it is south of the Tropic of Capricorn, point 12 o’clock in the direction of the sun, and the center of the hour hand and 12 o’clock point to the north. Also note the time zone issue. If you don’t know , You can spend a whole day confirming the time when the sun is rising and setting, and then calibrate the watch.”
“But I don’t have a watch, unless you tell me the time, and you have to be European friends.”
As soon as Bi Fang’s voice fell, a big barrage appeared, all with timekeeping birds.
“It’s not necessary. In addition to these, we can also distinguish our direction by judging the wind direction by our location,”
Bi Fang shook his head with a smile.
The geographer Fang, once again appeared.
In addition to tools, wind direction is the best direction teacher.
The sea is sometimes windy depending on the season. Especially in monsoon climate regions, the ocean temperature is lower than that of land in summer, so ocean pressure is higher than land, and wind blows from ocean to land; in winter, land temperature is lower than ocean, so land pressure is higher than ocean, and wind blows from land to ocean.
A quarter of the world can be defined as a monsoon climate. The North Atlantic Ocean is close to Europe, and nature is no exception.
What’s more, there is also a famous ocean current, the North Atlantic Warm Current, which spans almost the entire ocean. Even if there is no wind, it can reach the European continent even if there is no wind.
Everything was clear, with food, bone hooks, and sails. Bi Fang was in a good mood and couldn’t wait to set sail to conquer the sea along the wind.
The strong wind blew, the canvas quickly agitated, and the waves flew away with the life raft. The fish hooks couldn’t sink into the sea, and they were also floating on the sea.
It can be so fast!
The audience was stunned. Are you sure this thing is not a speedboat?
It looks inflatable on the surface, but actually there is an engine under the raft?
Fortunately, the strong wind only blew for a while, and the speed of the life raft gradually slowed down, no longer so exaggerated.
Bi Fang held the tent with both hands and let it face the wind. He didn’t cut the tent completely. The strong wind just now almost tore the joints, which shows how strong the wind is.
The plan to transform the tent into sails was very successful. When there were no sails two days ago, he obviously felt that he was closer to the mainland.
The reason is that the sea water with a slight change in color, although it appears to the audience to be the same color, there is no deeper change at all.
Using the color of sea water to distinguish depth is not friendly to color blindness and color weakness.
Bi Fang did not remove all of the tent, but half of it. The rest is enough to fix the tent. Next time it rains, as long as the two sides are firmly grasped, it is still secure.
The audience was fascinated by Bi Fang driving the life raft, the smooth-lined arm pulling the textured canvas, and occasionally the cold water splashed on the feet, driving the boat across the ocean.
At noon, Bi Fang sat down to rest and supplemented his nutrition. He grabbed the third squid and ate it. From time to time, he pulled a handful of sargassum, mixed with meat and vegetables to avoid constipation.
At this point, all three have eaten except for the last squid that served as a container.
Bi Fang didn’t even think about eating a little bit, because in addition to these four squids, he had something to gain in the past two days, two North Atlantic mackerels!
That’s right, it’s the kind of fish that Bi Fang encountered last time!
What a fate!
Knowing that I was tired of squid, I rushed over from Beihai all the way.
Two mackerels, each of the size of Bi Fang’s forearm, were caught yesterday when he passed through a sea area. This thing likes to live in groups. Bi Fang stopped there. Unfortunately, he was not lucky until it got dark. Only two were caught.
But it doesn’t matter, two are enough, enough for three days. The mackerel is plump and tender, and the fat content is much higher than that of squid, which can supplement calories even more.
Wiping the corners of his mouth, Bi Fang picked up the hook with the idea of a try, and found that he had gained another gain.
A little capelin!
Hey, luck is better.
The fish is not big, only ten centimeters, much smaller than the mackerel, but Bi Fang still smiles. Since he caught the squid with bait, his “sea fishing” career has been smooth sailing, and he actually caught the fish day after day. Worry about food.
More importantly, this situation will get better and better, because mackerel and capelin have blood in their bodies, and they also contain internal organs with a strong pungent smell. They are more suitable for fishing, and maybe you can catch more in the future. Large fish, such as North Atlantic salmon, one that eats for a few days!
[It’s over, let Lao Fang eat it again]
[My mother, come here to buy goods? 】
【what fish is this? 】
[The king of sea fishing,]
[Hey, I seem to have seen it before, it seems to be sold in the vegetable market here]
“Yes, capelin is a foreign name. Our domestic name is Duochunyu. It has a lot of nice names. This thing is delicious and has a wide range of branches. It is a good economic fish species.”
Bi Fang hurried down the hook. The capelin is also a social animal and is very active. It eats frequently in winter, eating small shrimps or plankton. He hopes to catch more fish.
The most important thing is that this thing is a good bait. Animals such as cod, cetaceans, seals, dolphins, sharks, tuna and squid all like to eat it, and they have no right to fish.
[Fuck, does that mean that this fish is particularly delicious? 】
[Clear thinking, well-founded, no flaws, it’s worth a try]
[It’s very delicious, my mother often buys it. 】
The squid whiskers of the last squid were all stripped off. Bi Fang was not able to catch the fish every time. Often the fishing line was pulled up, the hook was broken, or the bait was gone.
In order to fish for mackerel, he used two squid bones and eight squid whiskers. After that, Bi Fang did not use squid bones to polish the fish hooks, but used real bones.
The jaw bones of the two mackerels are harder and more resilient than the squid bones.
But this time Bi Fang didn’t spend too much time on fishing. He caught three capelin in total and felt almost done, so he took his things and left.
The capelin is the bait for many animals. Staying here is easy to encounter some animals that cannot be dealt with, such as large sharks.
Thinking of this, Bi Fang hurriedly propped up the tent and continued to move forward with the strong wind.
The wind is blowing.
But what nobody noticed was that not long after Bi Fang left, a huge shadow drew across the water, opened his mouth, and swallowed it at the school of capelin.
“puff!”
“Huh, cool!”
Bi Fang’s hands are on his hips, his skin is slightly darker than a week ago, but his eyes are gleaming and look radiant. A few days of life on the sea, he already looks like a seaman, and maybe it will be even darker in a few days.
Facing the cold sea breeze, Bi Fang didn’t feel cold. He was warm all over after eating food, and he was not afraid of the cold wind at all.
Moreover, the King Fish’s stomach bag digests food very cleanly, and the calories increase rapidly.
It is also relying on the stomach bag that Bi Fang can eat raw food without any scruples. Otherwise, he will definitely try to minimize the danger, such as drying the fish into dried fish. Although the taste is poor, it is still not 100% safe. But the probability will be much smaller.
“Sure enough, the most difficult task of survival is actually the first few days. When you first come to the new environment, your mentality and body cannot adapt to it, and you don’t have enough means of production. It is difficult to form a survival advantage, but once you pass the first few days , You will find that survival is not as difficult as you think.”
For the sixth day of survival at sea, everything is fine, and it is getting closer and closer to the mainland. Perhaps it is really possible to encounter the mainland in 21 days, and the closer you are to the shore, the greater the probability of encountering a small island.
Bi Fang divided the difficulty of survival into several levels. The most difficult task of this kind of survival task of twenty days and one month is the first week. If there is no accident, the probability of survival will be very high.
Of course, this probability is based on the fact that the first seven days are not strong enough. If the first seven days are to fight hunger, then the probability is getting harder day by day, which is the legendary ups and downs…
Oh, it didn’t even start, it just fell.
If the survival time is extended a little longer, the second difficult period will probably appear in the second month. At that time, you will be faced with nutritional problems and psychological problems. Long-term high-pressure survival will cause a mental breakdown.
This can survive, then you are indeed a natural talent, strong willpower, and rich experience, you only need to be sick immediately, and the psychological pressure of a long solitary living.
Riding the wind and waves for a few hours, the sky is getting late.
As the setting sun sheds, a deep crimson is flowing on the winter ocean, and the waves are undulating, reflecting dazzling light, like a layer of broken gold.
Bi Fang squinted his eyes, and when he was about to put the tent down to rest, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a bewildered shadow in the distance.
what?
Bi Fang got up and looked, trying to see more clearly, but the direction over there was facing the setting sun, which looked dazzling and fuzzy.
The program crew also noticed Bi Fang’s anomaly, and hurriedly lifted the drone into the air, followed his line of sight to film, and zoomed in on the impact. The audience in the live broadcast room looked curiously. As the picture became clearer, many people grew up. Mouth.
It turned out to be an island! ! !
[It’s an island! 】
[Old Fang! It’s the island! 】
[Kao Ka Kao, it’s an island! 】
[Lao Fang is cool! 】
There are many barrage like tsunamis, almost all appearing in the brush islands.
The platform hurriedly sent a notification, and the content showed that it was the sixth day of drifting at sea and the island was discovered!
After being notified, more curious viewers flooded in, and the number of viewers surged. It didn’t take long for the number of global viewers to exceed two million, not including those who watched TV.
Drifting at sea unexpectedly encountered an island!
What a luck it must be!
According to what Bi Fang said, the man who has lived at sea for more than a hundred days has never encountered him!
Peter’s mouth grew wide, and he couldn’t believe that Fangshen found the island in just six days. He deserves to be his idol!
so amazing!
Bi Fang was also shocked in his heart, knowing that he was a blind cat and a dead mouse, and found an island by mistake.
Gaze from the goddess of luck. jpg!
Without hesitation, Bi Fang hurriedly adjusted the direction of his sails and headed towards the island, but before getting there, the wind was getting smaller and smaller, until it was dark, there was still a long distance away from the island.
My mother got stuck, why did the wind suddenly disappear, how was the energy during the storm?
Withered so soon?
Bi Fang is slightly dissatisfied, there is no wind when co-authoring needs, and a storm comes when you are exhausted, right?
No way, Bi Fang had to put down his sail and row towards the island with both hands.
Wang Shan ran to death, this is correct, not only that, Wang Dao can also be cut to death.
After paddling for most of the day, Bi Fang collapsed in the life raft and nearly rolled his eyes with his tongue out: “No way, I’m almost exhausted!”
[Why can’t it work! 】
[Fang Shen stand up! The island is here! 】
[Start a life raft, all equipment depends on picking up]
[Fangshen what are you doing, Fangshen! 】
[Don’t stop! 】
Seeing the barrage, Bi Fang almost vomited blood. From just now to now, he has almost drew a kilometer, which is equivalent to running three to five kilometers, and his arms are very sore.
But the island was near, so how could it be possible to give up. After taking a rest, Bi Fang quickly raised the edge and continued paddling.
The sun was completely set, and the stars in the sky could barely distinguish the direction, but it was also very difficult. If you were not careful, you would easily deviate from the direction. Bi Fang was worried while drawing, for fear that he was drawing the wrong direction. Fortunately, there are audiences who can help him. , I can also open a small hanger and observe the position of the island through the night vision mode.
Three hours later.
“I…I can’t do it anymore.”
Bi Fang curled up in the life raft like a dead dog, sticking out his tongue and sweating all over, and he was still a few hundred meters away from the island, but he really couldn’t move.
Who said that paddling is simple and clearly exhausted.
Don’t talk about easy paddling in the future!
Paddling is the most tiring one!
[How can a man say no? 】
[Is this not working? No, no, no one can’t swim for more than ten kilometers, right? 】
[It’s only a dozen kilometers, Lao Fang, what are you doing to eat, get up quickly and then go rowing! 】
Bi Fang was unable to vomit. He was too tired to say a complete sentence. He was usually motionless when he fell asleep. He woke up suddenly after half an hour.
It’s over, almost fell asleep, don’t be damned by the waves!
Bi Fang shook his head and quickly got up, only to find that he had already approached the island under the influence of the waves.
Only a dozen meters left!
Great!
Although he was very happy, Bi Fang, who was close to the island, did not rush ashore, but observed the surrounding environment.
As a result, after a faint moonlight, Bi Fang was able to see the shape of the island clearly.
The island is very small, very small, how small is it, probably the size of a villa…
[What a small island…]
[I’m afraid there are no animals on this island, right? 】
[Doubtful]
[Can’t live in people at all, right]
But even if the island is small~www.mtlnovel.com~, Bi Fang is not disappointed. It’s a great thing to meet an island. I haven’t encountered it for more than a hundred days. I can run into it in six days. It’s a **** luck.
Of course, this may also be the reason for being close to the mainland.
The probability of encountering islands deep in the ocean is very small, but it is not the same when approaching the mainland, and the number of islands will increase significantly.
Bi Fang is already satisfied, because there are trees on this island!
If you can’t stay, then be a supply station.
Tree = Tools = Better living environment = Challenges are easier to succeed √
Plan to pass.
