Not long after, a pile of soil was piled up on the ground. Zhou Ye estimated the amount and felt that it should be enough. He stopped.
He poured out the cassava from the rattan basket, put the clay into the rattan basket, and slowly filled the basket. Then, he placed the cassava into the rattan basket.
Zhou Ye struggled to carry the rattan basket. As the soil had absorbed too much water, it was very heavy. It weighed about 40 kilograms.
Using the wooden spear as a walking stick, he carried the rattan basket on his back and walked toward the camp with difficulty.
"F * ck! What was the host doing? What was the use of digging so much soil?”
"I don't know. This soil can't be eaten. I really don't know why the host dug up this soil.”
" The streamer never does useless things. Maybe this soil has some important use.”
"Forget it. What's the use of soil? Could it be used to grow food?”
The audience in the live broadcast room started arguing again. In their impression, soil had no other use other than for planting.
"Professor Chen, what do you think Zhou Ye is digging up the soil for? Could it really be used for planting?"
The host, Qian Hao, asked Professor Chen if he had any new ideas.
Professor Chen shook his head and denied Qian Hao's point of view.
"It shouldn't be used for planting. If he wanted to plant it, he wouldn't need to carry it back to the camp. He could just plant it on the ground.”
Xu Wei nodded in agreement.
"Professor Chen is right. If you need to plant it, you don't have to spend so much effort. I think Zhou Ye has other uses, but I haven't thought of what he's going to do yet.”
"Actually, if we want to know the function of this soil, we'll know if we continue to look down.”
Another guest commentator, Grimm, said.
He was very curious about what Zhou Ye was going to do with the soil. He had been paying attention to Zhou Ye ever since he started the fire.
Today, Zhou Ye also gave him a surprise. While the other participants were shivering in the rain, Zhou Ye was the only one who took precautions against the rain.
A person leaning against a bonfire, eating hot food, and even using charcoal to clean his teeth. It was simply not a competition, but a different kind of tour.
Especially after the other participants fell ill and withdrew from the competition because of the heavy rain, he felt the cruelty of the wilderness.
This made Grimm even more curious about Zhou Ye. He was looking forward to Zhou Ye's next performance.
Zhou Ye carried the rattan basket and returned to the camp with difficulty. He placed the basket on the ground and collapsed on the ground.
After resting for a while and recovering some strength, the sky was completely dark.
He added some wood to the bonfire to make it burn more vigorously.
He took out the cassava from the rattan basket and casually took two large cassava. He covered the cassava with burning charcoal and left it alone.
Then, he took out some clay from the rattan basket and placed it on the stone slab. With the help of the fire, he picked out the small stones in the clay and threw them away.
Zhou Ye picked carefully and spread the clay on the stone slab bit by bit.
After about ten minutes, Zhou Ye finally removed all the impurities from the soil. Then, Zhou Ye turned the clay into a ball and rubbed it on the stone slab.
Zhou Ye would occasionally smash the mud on the stone slab like he was tanning dough.
After feeling that the mud ball in his hand had been beaten to a pulp, he took out a small piece of clay and spread it on the stone slab, pressing it into a round cake.
In order to make the shape of the round cake more regular, Zhou Ye even used small wooden pieces to decorate the surroundings of the mud cake.
After decorating the round cake, he took out a ball of clay and kneaded it into a long strip. He placed the mud strip along the edge of the mud cake and coiled it on top of it.
He stuck the mud stick and mud cake together. After making some adjustments to the connecting parts, Zhou Ye rubbed another mud stick and coiled it on the first mud stick.
He made another adjustment to the connection between the two. There was no gap at all.
He repeated this process, layer by layer, and soon, a prototype of a mud basin appeared.
Actually, Zhou Ye wanted to make a pottery pot. The mud cake was the bottom of the pot and the mud stick was the wall of the pot.
As he didn't have a professional porcelain making wheel, he couldn't mold the pot well. Zhou Ye could only use this primitive method to make it.
When they saw Zhou Ye smashing the mud ball, the live stream room became lively again.
"F * ck! The streamer's brain was really broken this time. She actually started playing with mud.”
In the live broadcast hall, the host, Qian Hao, looked at Zhou Ye's actions speechlessly. He really didn't know how to comment.
"Haha, well, I didn't expect Zhou Ye to have a childish side. He actually started playing with mud.”
Xu Wei laughed out loud. She looked at Zhou Ye's serious expression. An adult was actually playing with mud like a child. This scene was too amusing.
"I really didn't expect Zhou Ye to be playing with mud while others were struggling to survive.”
Professor Chen also smiled. He would never have thought that the soil that Zhou Ye spent so much effort to get back was actually for fun.
The biggest taboo in surviving in the wild was to waste one's physical strength. However, what about Zhou Ye? Not only did he take the risk to find the soil, but he also spent a lot of effort to transport it back.
In the end, you spent so much effort to get back a bunch of useless things, and the only use was for you to play.
If the other contestants knew about this, how would the contestants who were still struggling to survive think? Can we still have fun together?
However, Zhou Ye didn't know that everyone in the live broadcast hall was laughing at his actions.
At this moment, the prototype of the pot was ready. In order to make it easier to take it, Zhou Ye installed two handles on both sides of the pot.
Zhou Ye nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the pot that he had made.
He spread the ground with palm leaves and carefully moved the pot from the stone slab to the palm.
Then, Zhou Ye used the method he had figured out and took out two ceramic bowls and a cup.
He placed the pottery bases properly and let them dry naturally. Then, he could fire them.
Now, Zhou Ye had lost all his tools. He didn't even have a soup pot. It was very troublesome to cook. They couldn't even provide hot water.
Drinking raw water in the wild was very dangerous. If possible, one must boil the water to disinfect it.
Now, Zhou Ye's drinking water was coconut milk. However, there were only a dozen coconuts left. Once he finished drinking them, Zhou Ye had no choice but to drink raw water.
This kind of action was very dangerous. Therefore, Zhou Ye had to make preparations in advance. Once he ran out of coconuts, he would need a device that could boil water.
This was also the reason why Zhou Ye rushed to find the soil after the rain stopped.
In fact, the material used to make pottery was clay or kaolin.
Although the clay that Zhou Ye was using now could be used, the pottery that he made would look clumsy and the surface would be very rough.
However, he could not force too much to survive in the wild. Zhou Ye knew very well that the best way to survive was always to solve the problem first before solving the quality problem.
