Survive on a desert island with the goddess

Chapter 51

Immediately.

The three women are like a deflated ball.

Lin Yue said angrily, "Then what are you talking about?"

"Let us be happy for nothing, crazy!"

"There is no news from the rescue team, so is it possible for us to swim back?"

I'm afraid I won't be able to go back if I swim until I die.

Liu Min also said helplessly: "Lin Yue is right. We can't fly, we're not fish, we can't swim back, there is no rescue, and wanting to leave the island is no different from a dream."

Yang Ming grabbed two stones, threw them up, and said with a faint smile, "Who said that?"

"Have you forgotten that there is one thing that can take us away from the island?"

The three women were startled, racking their brains and couldn't figure out what it was.

All of them showed curious expressions.

Seeing this, Yang Ming didn't hold back anymore, and said straight to the point: "Boat."

ferry?
Yup!

It is indeed possible to leave the island with a boat!

"But where did the boat come from?" Han Xue asked calmly.

In a word, the fire of hope of Liu Min and Lin Yue was extinguished.

There are no boats on a desert island.

"There is no ready-made boat, but we can build a boat by ourselves. Although it is difficult to build a simple raft boat, it is not impossible."

Yang Ming said.

The three women pondered for a while, and immediately felt that this method was feasible.

"If the ship can be built smoothly, maybe we can safely leave the island and return to the metropolis."

Lin Yue showed nostalgia on her face.

In the days of surviving on this deserted island, I feel like I am about to become a savage.

It seems like a lifetime away.

She misses the big city life with air conditioning and refrigerator, and no worries about food and drink.

Liu Min and Han Xue were also excited.

They... were finally able to leave this broken island.

But Yang Ming poured cold water on him, "Don't be too happy. If you want to leave the desert island by boat, there are still many problems."

"Building ships is the first problem."

"Besides, whether the ship can be successfully built is another matter."

The three girls nodded in unison, took two deep breaths, and suppressed the excitement in their hearts.

It's better not to be too fanciful.

Lest you go from hope to disappointment.

This kind of heart gap is uncomfortable to think about.

Yang Ming and the three girls made up their minds and arranged tomorrow's itinerary before going to bed one after another.

The next morning.

It was just dawn.

Yang Ming and his three daughters first quickly found some berries and wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, and then began to search for suitable raw materials for shipbuilding in the woods.

There is no trace of bamboo forest nearby.

Originally bamboo rafts were the best choice.

But since I couldn't find bamboo, I had to settle for the next best thing and use ordinary wood.

That is, trees.

Fortunately, there are many trees here.

Liu Min, Lin Yue, and Han Xue searched around and found a rather thick tree.

Liu Min looked at it, and called Yang Ming over, "How about this tree, it feels pretty good."

"No." Yang Ming shook his head.

Liu Min frowned slightly, a little puzzled: "Why, this tree is of good quality, flat and smooth, and there are no traces of borers..."

"It's not dense enough."

Yang Ming cut open the bark, and the trunk inside was somewhat dry.

This shows that under the trunk density, the water evaporates quickly.

If a ship is built and goes to sea, it will become a fast water seepage.

If the boat were to seep water, the outcome would be fatal.

Due to water seepage, the weight of the ship increased, and eventually it sank to the bottom.

think about it.

On their way to the sea by boat, there was nothing around the vast sea.

Then the boat sank directly due to water seepage.

What do they do?
He could only splash the water twice, and then drowned directly.

When the three women thought of this, they all shuddered.

They wanted to escape from the desert island, yes.

But definitely not this way of being buried under the sea.

Immediately, Liu Min made a bitter face, "Then what should I do?"

Yang Ming smiled, "Leave it to me."

After all, he has received professional survival training.

Soon, a large tree with a good density was found.

Then chop off a piece of the tree trunk.

Seeing him throwing the tree trunk into the water, Liu Min asked strangely, "What are you doing?"

"Bathe the trunk?"

Yang Ming said nothing and sank the tree trunk under the water.

After about 5 minutes, he took it out again to observe the situation of the cross section.

Then nod with satisfaction.

Only then turned around and explained to Liu Min and the others: "I was just testing the degree of water seepage."

"At present, the density of this tree is good, and the water seepage is very little, almost negligible."

In other words, if you use this tree to build a ship and go to sea, you basically don't have to worry about the crisis and risk of sinking the ship due to water seepage.

At that moment, the three girls regained their spirits.

This is their hope to escape from the desert island.

Immediately they all got busy, helping Yang Ming, felling the tree, cutting the trunk into pieces, drilling holes, and connecting them together with rattan.

soon.

A simple tree boat is ready.

That's it.

Yang Ming clapped his hands and worked together with the three girls to lift the tree boat to the beach with heavy breaths.

This time, even though they were exhausted, the three women did not take the initiative to ask for a rest.

They even urged Yang Ming to go to sea and try.

This is their hope of going to sea and returning to the city!

Yang Ming didn't say much, and pushed the tree boat into the sea with the three girls.

The tree boat floats on the water, rising and falling with the waves.

Successful.

The tree boat floated successfully.

The four breathed a sigh of relief.

What they are most afraid of is that due to the high density, the tree boat is too heavy to float to the surface.

But now it seems that this worry is unnecessary.

"Great, we can leave by boat!" The three girls cheered happily, scrambling to get on the boat.

however.

What happened next made their smiles gradually disappear.

The three girls just boarded the tree boat.

The tree boat swayed twice, then sank below sea level.

The seawater soaked the ankles of the three girls.

No.

Still failed.

Yang Ming shook his head helplessly.

The weight of the tree boat itself, plus the weight of the three women, could not float on the water at all.

Not to mention, there was another Yang Ming who was not on board.

The three women returned to the beach dejectedly.

After working for a long time, this is the result.

Even though I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't help being disappointed.

Yang Ming looked at the tree boat, then turned to the three daughters and said, "Don't lose heart, failure is the mother of success."

"It doesn't work this time, just try a few more times, there will always be times of success."

Up to now, he can only comfort the three daughters in this way.

The three girls also knew that it would be useless to sigh at this moment.

They all nodded, then got up and returned to the camp with Yang Ming.

After returning to the wooden house, the three women were so distraught that they didn't even have the energy to eat.

Yang Ming couldn't say anything, so he could only keep silent.

Time passed in a dull atmosphere.

Evening comes.

The four go to bed.

the next morning.

Yang Ming woke up the three women, "Get up, and continue to search for suitable shipbuilding materials today."

Lin Yue said sleepily, "Forget it."

"I really don't want to move. Yesterday I was looking for food and building a boat again. My whole body is sore and I feel so uncomfortable."

"Just this once today, please spare me."
