After Zhou Ye crushed the cassavas leaves, he put them on Wukong again and wrapped them with new leaves.
After treating Wukong, Zhou Ye lit up the fireplace again and prepared to rest.
He picked out two pieces of charcoal from the remains of the bonfire and handed one to Wukong.
Wukong took the charcoal in a daze and asked if it was edible.
"Are you stupid? How could charcoal be eaten? This charcoal is for cleaning your mouth. Learn from me.”
Zhou Ye was rendered speechless by Wukong's question. He sighed at this silly monkey's intelligence.
If Wu Kong knew what Zhou Ye was thinking, he would definitely jump up and scold him. Brother, I'm a monkey. Have you ever seen a monkey clean its mouth?
However, Wukong didn't have mind-reading skills. Therefore, he didn't know that Zhou Ye was looking down on his intelligence.
Although Wukong didn't know why he had to clean his mouth, he still followed Zhou Ye and learned how to clean his mouth with charcoal.
After the man and monkey finished washing up, Zhou Ye added some wood to the bonfire in the fireplace. He then lay on the bed and fell asleep.
He was really tired today, especially when he jumped into the sea to save Wukong. In order to resist the power of the waves, it really consumed too much physical strength.
It was a dreamless night. Zhou Ye didn't know if it was because of Wukong's company, but he slept very soundly at night.
When he woke up in the morning, he felt refreshed. Meanwhile, Wukong, who was jumping around, had already run outside to play.
He called Wukong back and washed up together.
In fact, Wukong was very resistant to this method of washing up, especially when he had to put charcoal in his mouth and chew it. The taste was unknown to anyone who tried it.
After washing up, Zhou Ye threw two cassavas into the charcoal fire in the fireplace and went to check the cellar from yesterday.
After sealing all the ventilation holes in the cellar yesterday, Zhou Ye didn't bother with them anymore. He let the temperature of the cellar drop naturally.
He picked up a thick piece of wood and smashed the cellar.
A pile of black charcoal appeared in front of Zhou Ye. Looking at the shiny black charcoal, Zhou Ye picked a piece and broke it apart.
The carbonizing effect of the entire wood was very good. All the wood was completely carbonized, and there was not a trace of lignification.
Zhou Ye was very satisfied when he saw the carbonation effect.
"F * ck! Is this charcoal? How could the shape of the charcoal still maintain the shape of wood?”
"Host, you're awesome. But how did you turn these logs into charcoal? Is there a god who can explain?"
"This doesn't make sense. Didn't the streamer extinguish the bonfire yesterday? Without burning, how could wood turn into charcoal?”
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. As everyone knew, wood would turn into charcoal after burning, but the remaining charcoal was only a small piece.
And what was it that appeared in front of everyone this time? If it wasn't for the fact that the charcoal was black, it would be no different from wood.
This was very puzzling. After all, in the Federation era, primitive fuel like wood and charcoal had long been abandoned.
Everyone had no idea that wood could be completely turned into charcoal.
In everyone's impression, the only way to turn wood into charcoal without using technological means was to let the wood burn sufficiently to obtain some leftover charcoal.
"How…how did he do it?”
The host, Qian Hao, was also stunned by the scene in front of him. He couldn't figure out how Zhou Ye managed to turn the wood into charcoal.
"I know. Zhou Ye is really too smart! You can even think of such a method."
Xu Wei suddenly shouted out in surprise without caring about her image. She was really too excited.
"Xu Wei, you seem to know the principle behind it. Explain it to everyone.”
Qian Hao was also shocked by Xu Wei's reaction. However, out of professionalism, he still asked Xu Wei.
"This is a carbonation phenomenon. Zhou Ye used the clay to cover the entire pile of wood and left some ventilation holes. Then, he lit the wood and let it burn first.
Then, Zhou Ye gradually blocked the ventilation holes to reduce the airflow. Finally, he blocked all the ventilation holes.
In this way, a sealed high-temperature and high-pressure environment was artificially created, allowing the wood to carbonize in an environment with high temperature and lack of oxygen.
This was simply a genius idea. Zhou Ye's application of basic science was really amazing!!”
After listening to Xu Wei's explanation, everyone came to a realization. They did not expect that this small charcoal burning actually contained so many principles.
Zhou Ye's method was also amazing. It was easy to understand the principle, but it wasn't easy to apply the principle in real life.
This was what everyone admired. In this technologically advanced society, it was very easy to make products if you understood the principles.
However, you have to know that Zhou Ye was on a deserted island. He didn't even have any suitable tools on hand. He used all the materials he had on the spot and used a pile of clay to create a high-temperature and high-pressure environment.
This was what made people admire him. With such simple conditions, he could still burn the entire wood into charcoal. Even the shape of the wood did not change.
Zhou Ye cleaned up all the soil. He first picked out the whole piece of charcoal and placed it aside. He placed the large pieces of charcoal into a pile. After cleaning up, only some fine charcoal foam was left.
Zhou Ye estimated that the charcoal that he made this time was about 40% charcoal. It was much better than he had expected.
In the end, there were about 30 catties of charcoal left. Zhou Ye was very satisfied. If he could produce charcoal at this rate every time, he would only need to burn it four more times and the amount of charcoal would be enough.
After clearing the charcoal, Zhou Ye and Wukong ate breakfast together.
Although the taste of cassavas was not bad, the starch content of cassavas was very high in the morning. Therefore, after eating it, Zhou Ye was thirsty.
He originally wanted Wukong to get a coconut to quench his thirst, but when he looked at the stock of coconuts, there were only four left.
Seeing that there were only four coconuts left, Zhou Ye didn't dare to quench his thirst with coconuts anymore. These coconuts were a good thing. They could replenish vitamins and glucose.
After some consideration, Zhou Ye decided to save the remaining four coconuts for future use.
Now that coconuts could not be drunk, the problem of drinking water needed to be solved. Zhou Ye didn't have any tools to boil water. After thinking for a while, Zhou Ye's eyes lit up.
He took out the empty coconut shell that he had kept earlier. Zhou Ye was going to use this coconut shell as a kettle to boil water. Although the coconut shell was made of wood, it was more than enough to be used as a disposable kettle.
He took the coconut shell to the waterhole and filled it with water. The water in this puddle was rainwater collected from the rain the day before yesterday. Originally, this rainwater could not be drunk directly.
However, Zhou Ye had placed charcoal in the puddle to absorb the water. Therefore, although the rainwater couldn't be drunk directly, it could still be drunk after it was boiled.
