Xu Wei and Li Wan 'er were both students of Federal University. Xu Wei was Li Wan' er's senior sister, so the two of them had always had a good relationship.
Yesterday, when Li Wan 'er went back, she praised Zhou Ye greatly. However, from her own senses, Zhou Ye was simply a lunatic.
He didn't eat the fish that he had in reserve, but he actually wanted to eat the charcoal. Could he digest the charcoal?
Another guest commentator, Professor Chen, an authoritative biology professor, had a different opinion.
"As we all know, we humans are carbon-based creatures. The main source of our bodies is carbs. In theory, charcoal could actually be eaten.
However, the main component of charcoal was carbon, which could not provide all the necessary elements for the human body. Therefore, eating only charcoal was harmful to the human body.
I think that with Zhou Ye's understanding of basic science, he should know the difference between the two. His current behavior should have a deeper meaning.”
If Zhou Ye knew that the comments in the live broadcast hall had been raised to a biological point of view, he would definitely laugh at them.
Damn it, I only used charcoal to clean my mouth, and it actually rose to such a height? You guys really can relate.
After chewing the charcoal in his mouth for a while, he spat it out and rinsed his mouth with water. At this moment, Zhou Ye felt that his mouth was much fresher.
"The cleaning ability of this charcoal is indeed not bad. It seems that I don't have to worry about cleaning my teeth in the future.”
There was no strange taste in his mouth and his breath was much fresher. Zhou Ye's mood instantly improved.
As Zhou Ye finished his sentence, everyone in the live broadcast hall looked awkward.
They had been discussing for a long time, debating whether charcoal was edible or not. In the end, Zhou Ye only used charcoal to clean his mouth.
"Cough cough, it seems like we have misunderstood Zhou Ye. So he's just cleaning his mouth.”
Host Qian Hao wanted to resolve the awkward atmosphere in the live broadcast hall and changed the topic.
"However, can this charcoal clean the oral cavity? We usually use oral cleaners to clean our mouths. Can charcoal work?”
Professor Chen also came to a realization and explained,
"The carbon element has a very strong absorption effect. From a theoretical point of view, using charcoal to clean the oral cavity is indeed feasible.
I think Zhou Ye made use of this. He used charcoal to absorb the bacteria and food residue in his mouth to keep his mouth clean. This is indeed brilliant.”
To survive in the wild, one's health was always the most important. The saying that diseases entered the body through the mouth was not just for show. Many diseases entered the human body through the mouth.
Therefore, when surviving in the wild, if possible, one must keep their mouth clean.
Two days ago, due to the lack of water, Zhou Ye didn't pay much attention to this aspect. Now that he didn't have to worry about water, of course, he had to clean his mouth.
After cleaning, Zhou Ye started the fire again. The viking torch had been burning for a night and was about to burn out.
The fire was lit and Zhou Ye started to prepare breakfast. He skewered the two squids he had harvested yesterday with a wooden stick and placed them on the charcoal fire to roast.
He took out a fish and placed it on the stone slab to roast. Because it had rained all night, the ground was a little wet. It was not suitable to cook Beggar's Flowerfish, so he could only cook the grilled fish on the stone slab.
After enjoying his breakfast, Zhou Ye put on his raincoat and walked into the heavy rain.
Zhou Ye continued digging beside the campsite.
Because there was no water source on the island, he had to make use of this rare rainy day to store more fresh water. Otherwise, if he missed this rare rainy day, the water source in the future would be a big problem.
Everyone in the live broadcast hall was baffled when they saw Zhou Ye working in the rain.
"What is he doing now? It was raining so heavily outside, so why was he still digging?”
Qian Hao was a little confused. He was about to go crazy when he met Zhou Ye. This guy didn't play by the rules at all. He always did strange things but there was a deeper meaning behind every single thing.
Xu Wei thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty,
"Is he digging a drain? But wasn't there already drainage facilities around the camp?”
Another guest commentator, Sun Bing, shook his head and rejected Xu Wei's judgment.
"I don't think so. Look at the pit he dug. It's obviously not for drainage. Instead, it looks like it's for storage.”
"Water storage? No way! Did he not know that this was a desert? How could sand store water? Once the rain stopped, the water inside would be quickly absorbed by the sand.”
Xu Wei retorted. She really couldn't understand why Zhou Ye would dig a pit to store water. After all, they were on the sand. The soil was very water-absorbing and couldn't store water at all.
"Actually, it's possible. As long as Zhou Ye can prevent leakage, he can achieve the goal of storing water. However, she did not know what method he would use to prevent the leakage.”
Professor Chen said thoughtfully. There were countless ways to make a waterhole to prevent leakage with current technology.
However, Zhou Ye didn't have any tools and he was on a deserted island. In such an environment, he really couldn't think of any way to prevent leakage.
In the wind and rain, Zhou Ye dug a puddle that was more than one meter in diameter and half a meter deep.
The rain was too heavy, and the pit was already filled with water. If they continued to dig down, the surroundings of the pit would collapse, and the gains would not make up for the losses.
Zhou Ye crawled out of the puddle. Although he was wearing a straw raincoat, his clothes were still wet from the rain.
Zhou Ye took out the leftover palm leaves and placed them at the bottom of the waterhole. He then placed a layer of fine sand on the leaves.
After that, Zhou Ye crushed the remaining charcoal with wooden stakes and placed it on the fine sand in the pit. Finally, he covered the charcoal with a layer of fine sand.
This simple waterproof layer was done. Although the anti-leakage effect was not as good as the yellow mud, it could still keep the water in the puddle for three to four days.
With these three to four days as a buffer, Zhou Ye had time to find a new way to store water.
After the water storage pit was completed, Zhou Ye immediately returned to the bonfire. He threw a few pieces of wood into the bonfire to make the fire burn more vigorously.
Zhou Ye took off his wet clothes and placed them by the bonfire. He had to warm up his body as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would catch a cold easily.
"Now that we have this water storage pit, it shouldn't be a problem to support it for a few days. This way, we'll have time to find other ways to store fresh water.”
Zhou Ye was prepared to wait for the rain to stop before he went to look for yellow mud. This way, the waterhole would have a better anti-leakage effect.
Everyone in the live broadcast hall was puzzled when they saw Zhou Ye's actions.
"Professor Chen, Zhou Ye used tree leaves, charcoal, and fine sand as anti-leakage measures this time. What do you think of the effect?”
The host, Qian Hao, asked. In his mind, other than the leaves being waterproof, charcoal and fine sand were not waterproof at all.
