"Mr. Ling, you said Guan Canghai doesn't have as much sea water as me, and he doesn't go into the sea. Where can he get water to cook at night?" Li Ping felt very special when she thought that Guan Canghai, a bitch, had a better life than she did. The ground is uncomfortable.
"I guess he may have found a water source in the mountain." Ling Yan recalled the Coke bottle hanging on Guan Canghai's belt: "I remember that the water Guan Canghai brought back was a little yellow in color. It should be caused by the soil in the water. of."
"He actually found water?"
When Li Ping heard this, she was so angry that her eyes turned red.
You must know that she was at the beach today. After walking for more than five hours, her skin was red from the sun. Not only did she find no food, she didn't even find a drop of fresh water.
How could this make her less angry!
"Well, I think I found it."
Ling Yan picked up the small thorn berries and put the slightly injured ones into her mouth one by one, leaving some relatively intact ones to be eaten tomorrow.
Absently thinking about Guan Canghai's refusal when he handed the thorn berry to Guan Canghai today.
She clearly...
When he saw Guan Canghai, a look of distress flashed through his eyes.
Does he like me?
"Damn you, you actually found water!" Li Ping angrily picked up the kelp soup that had cooled down, and was so angry that she took a big sip to calm down the fire, but as soon as the kelp soup entered her mouth...
"puff!"
Li Ping sprayed it all out in one gulp, and sprayed it right at the bonfire.
Most of the bonfire was extinguished immediately. Ling Yan was so frightened that she quickly picked up a few pieces of firewood that had not been extinguished to prevent the fire from being extinguished and freezing again at night.
She really didn't want to experience that bone-chilling feeling last night again!
"Ugh! Bah, bah, bah!"
"Why is it so salty? This seaweed soup is so salty and bitter, it tastes so bad, so bad!"
Li Ping had been thirsty all day, so she relied on bananas to replenish some water at night.
At this time, the salty kelp soup was so salty that she looked for water everywhere. It was so salty that her throat almost hurt to death.
Finally, she grabbed the thorn berries that Ling Yan had put aside, stuffed them all into her mouth, and chewed them hard for a long time.
Only then did I feel better!
"What did you use to cook it?" Ling Yan asked quickly: "You couldn't have... used sea water, right?"
"I can only use sea water, I can't find any other water."
Li Ping is confident.
But Ling Yan held her forehead with a headache and said: "The sea water is too salty. You can't drink it at all. It will only make you thirstier the more you drink it. And when you use it to boil kelp, the water vapor in it will evaporate, and the concentration of salt will As it goes up, it will only become saltier."
"ah?"
Li Ping was also confused now.
She also didn't expect that the seawater she originally wanted to boil would become saltier the more she boiled it.
"Then what should I do?" Although eating thorn berries relieved some, Li Ping still felt dry and said: "I'm almost dying of thirst. I can't eat this kelp soup, and I can't drink this water. I'm sure I won't drink it tonight." I'm going to die of thirst, wuwu..."
"do not Cry."
Ling Yan lit the bonfire again, then glanced at the pile of jars collected by Li Ping and said, "Actually, there is a way for us to drink fresh water."
When Li Ping heard this, she immediately looked at Ling Yan with tears in her eyes and said, "What can I do?"
"Distillation!"
Ling Yan glanced at the square oil drum that Li Ping had just picked up. It could hold ten liters of water. If it were distilled, it should be able to distill some fresh water.
But Li Ping was confused and said: "Distillation? Doesn't that thing require a lot of equipment? I only have a bucket and not even a pipe. How can I distill it?"
"The pipe is very simple." Ling Yan picked up a few mineral water bottles and said, "Cut the bottles one by one and connect them head to tail. Isn't it just a long and thick pipe?"
"Well……"
Although Li Ping found it very troublesome, she was very thirsty at this time, so she could only do what Ling Yan said.
She dug open the butt of the mineral water bottle, then inserted the mouth of the mineral water bottle inside, blocking it with leaves as much as possible to prevent the steam from escaping.
While Li Ping was blocking the gap in the mineral water bottle, Ling Yan made a circular opening on the side of the oil barrel near the top and inserted the mineral water bottle with the entire bottom cut off into it.
so……
A simple distiller is completed.
As long as you put an oil drum half full of water on a bonfire and burn it, the water vapor with nowhere to go will run into the pipe made of plastic bottles, and the water vapor will turn into small water droplets when it encounters cold in the pipe. , and then flows to the next bottle.
Finally gathered in the last bottle!
Perfect!
However……
The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.
Because Li Ping and Ling Yan sat in front of the big bucket and stared at it for more than half an hour, but the distilled water was only half a bottle, and in order to keep the water in the bucket boiling, they had to keep adding more water. firewood.
Li Ping picked up almost all the firewood she could pick up around her. No matter how far away she was, she didn't dare to pick it up.
There were no lights here at night, and she didn't have a flashlight. The light from the bonfire couldn't illuminate very far. Everything was pitch black, and Li Ping didn't dare to go far.
"When this bottle of water is distilled, we won't steam it anymore. It's too laborious!" Li Ping sighed: "I never thought that one day I would have to worry so much about a bottle of water that broke! After all, I, Li Ping, am also ashamed of my confinement. Hua, a beautiful lady like a fish and a geese, if you want water, it won’t be delivered to me in a carload!”
"Well……"
Ling Yan smiled back.
Faced with Li Ping's shameless words, she really couldn't say anything.
"Bang!"
But just when the two of them planned to wait for a bottle of mineral water to be distilled, enough to drink at night.
The plastic handle on the oil barrel finally couldn't stand the heat and broke suddenly. The water barrel fell over and the sea water flowed into the bonfire!
"Ah! Put out the fire quickly!"
"And water, our distilled water!"
"It's over, it's over, the fire is going out, hurry up and pick up the firewood."
"Hot, hot, hot..."
The two of them were in a hurry, getting busier and busier, and getting busier and busier.
In the end, the bonfire that had a little bit of flame left was finally completely extinguished in the rush of the two!
"Hiss~"
The two men's camp was once again plunged into darkness.
And because Li Ping was thirsty, she didn't care much about the bonfire as much as the half bottle of water.
So in the end, Li Ping rescued half a bottle of distilled water, but the bonfire was completely destroyed!
"It's over, the bonfire is out."
Ling Yan painfully dug at the ashes of the bonfire, trying to find a tiny bit of fire.
Unfortunately, the bonfire was darker than the night, and there was no flame at all. Then the bonfire went out, and the night wind blew on Ling Yan's thin clothes, making her shiver immediately.
