Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

"That's one of the reasons. Not to mention the other values ​​of coconut. Coconut meat is rich in dietary fiber and healthy fats, such as medium-chain fatty acids, such as lauric acid, etc. In addition, it also contains protein, vitamins, such as B vitamins, etc., and minerals such as selenium and iron.

Among them, medium-chain fatty acids MCTs can help increase the level of good cholesterol HDL and maintain cardiovascular health. Lauric acid has anti-inflammatory effects and may reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis.

Then there is coconut oil. The oil in it is even more useful. After it is refined, it can be used for simple cooking and can also be used to make simple soap together with wood ash made from coconut hair.

External use can moisturize the skin and reduce inflammation. You must know that in such a wild place, once you are injured, there will be a risk of infection. At this time, coconut oil can act as a natural barrier to block the wound and the exchange of external bacteria.

Among them, by burning coconut shells into carbon, we can obtain a medium for filtering fresh water, which is the most stable and best-use medium.

So to be honest, this thing is full of treasures, it is simply a life-saving resource. It can be said that as long as this coconut tree exists, if we use it sparingly, we can at least survive for a week."

Xia Yuan had a smile on his face when he spoke, and you could tell that he was really happy.

Then comes the next arrangements.

That is to make traps and place them on the edge of the island forest to hunt prey.

“Although I don’t know what’s inside, I still have to try it.”

Xia Yuan said: "After all, even if we have coconuts now, we have to be prepared for danger. We can't always rely on this thing to survive. Otherwise, after the coconuts are consumed, we still have to worry about resources. So before going to bed, we can try to set some traps not too deep at the entrance to see if there are any prey.

Then the arrangement for the next day was simple, which was to find fresh water and food.

But before that, we have to build the shelter and then start a fire, otherwise it will be dark soon and we must have a fire to drive away any large wild animals that may exist, and at the same time we have to keep warm to prevent possible hypothermia in the wild.

You know, in this kind of wild environment, hypothermia is a very dangerous thing and can lead to death."

The shelter was easy to build. The boulder wall could be used as a large wall. They only needed to find wood and some leaves, build waterproof and rainproof measures, and put some material underneath to sleep on to prevent the loss of body temperature.

These are not in short supply on the island, and you don’t even need to go deep into the island forest to find the materials you need.

But the most important thing, fire, is difficult to deal with.

"We can only use the method of drilling wood to make fire." Xia Yuan said.

So he made a simple bow.

Then he explained: "This method of drilling wood to make fire is not just about taking a stick and rubbing it over and over. You may rub it until next year, but it will be difficult for you to make a fire. In particular, this method is not the same as people know. It does not directly drill out flames, but obtains burning cinders, and then uses the burning cinders to ignite the medium to make flames."

Xia Yuan gave some popular science lectures and then started drilling.

To put it bluntly, he was the one operating the operation, but in reality the real big boss was holding the equipment in the back to help him shoot.

Anyway, if Xia Yuan didn't understand or couldn't remember anything, he could just turn off the video equipment and ask.

In fact, according to Xia Yuan, there is no need to turn off the camera, the senior sister can just say it directly.

But the senior student refused to do so.

This is Tang Ying. In fact, she takes Xia Yuan’s face very seriously in public and never shows a better side than Xia Yuan when they are outside.

Xia Yuan was also helpless about this, but since the senior student insisted, he couldn't say anything.

So I rubbed it for two hours, but the fire still didn't start.

Only then did Tang Ying turn off the device and take a look.

After carefully observing and feeling it for a while, he concluded: "Just keep drilling for a few seconds, then wipe the sweat off your face and tell the camera, it's too wet."

Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment. Tang Ying continued, "Although it looks dry on the surface, there is still a lot of moisture inside. In this case, this method will not work. It probably rained on the island the other day. Do you understand what I mean? My Director Xia?"

"So that's how it is." Xia Yuan scratched his head.

"What about our fire? We won't make it tonight without it."

"so."

Tang Ying thought for a moment and said.

After a long while, after Xia Guazhi expressed that he understood, he returned to his original position with satisfaction and continued recording.

Xia Yuan followed Tang Ying's instructions, wiped the sweat off his forehead and spoke.

Then he said, "It seems that we have to try another way to get fire today. Fire is absolutely necessary, and we can't be careless about it. This method is not a good method. It is a last resort, and it can't be used often because we don't have so much money."

Xia Yuan was talking, and when he finished, he said to Tang Ying in the distance: "Wife, help me get a spare battery from the backup machine."

Xia Yuan and his team have a special place to store their equipment, and someone comes to take it away regularly. This was mentioned at the first moment during the recording.

Then, Tang Ying took out a battery.

After Xia Yuan took the battery, he found a sharp stone and smashed it down hard.

a bit!
Twice!

Three times!

It wasn't until the tenth time that the battery made a relatively small 'bang' sound, and then it blew out blue-green flames at an extremely exaggerated degree.

Xia Yuan quickly took the incendiary material next to him and put it on.

Suddenly, a lot of smoke came out of the seemingly dry leaves.

"Everyone, you can see that this is proof that these dead branches and leaves have a high water content."

At this moment, Tang Ying pointed the camera at her face, captured her surprised expression, and then turned around: "Wow, it turns out that this is possible? There is actually such a method?"

Faced with his wife's extremely exaggerated acting skills, which were obtained by failing an exam three times, Xia Yuan curled the corners of his mouth.

Forget it, let her play if she wants to.

The fire has been lit.

Next is the trap. We've been delayed for a while, so we need to speed up.

He made eight at a time, distributed in different locations.

The day is over and it’s time to rest.

However, this was just the beginning. In the next few days, the wilderness fully demonstrated its ruthlessness.

Progress doesn't come so easily.

The first is the trap. For several days in a row, Xia Yuan did not catch any prey. (End of this chapter)
