Hua Mu opened his mouth, and White Pillow broke his leg. The cooktop is great, but collecting distilled water is not as easy as you might think.
Fortunately, the white pillow with strong hands-on ability was actually implemented. It only took half an afternoon to build the distillation device that Hua Mu had conceived.
Emmmmm…
Hua Mu looked at it for a long time and found that the effect of this thing was completely different from what she expected.
The white pillows set up wooden frames on both sides of the fire, and two inclined iron plates rest on the wooden frames. At the lower end of the iron plates, there is a cut bamboo to receive the distilled water that flows down after condensation.
The white pillow embeds both sides of the iron plate in the wooden stakes, and the stability is not bad, but the effect is really not flattering.
This is of course not the reason for the white pillow. Hua Mu fully realized that he thought too well.
Not to mention that the distillation method itself is a relatively inefficient method of desalination, but the loss caused by the inability of this device to form a confined space makes Huamu extremely desperate. Moreover, the hotter and hotter the iron plate is, the condensation effect is not so good at first, a lot of water vapor slips through the gap, and there is not much fresh water that can finally flow down.
Although it is not without any effect, it is a drop in the bucket for the current two.
Bai Zhen seemed to be in a good mood. Seeing that the fresh water in the bamboo tube was gradually increasing, she was amazed at Hua Mu's idea.
"Miss, there is really water!"
Don't look at Hua Mu, stare for a long time without a sip of water.
"Of course there will be water." It's just not enough to drink. Even if the two have supplemented with coconut water and other fruits today, they still consumed nearly two liters of fresh water. "You should find a water source tomorrow."
Except for the first time they went to the stream to drink raw water, after that, every time White Pillow came back after taking the water, he would boil the water with coconut shells, and then put it into a water bottle. In the wild, the cleanness of drinking water is sometimes directly related to the safety of human life.
But Hua Mu now feels that boiling water is also a waste of resources, and I don't know how much water vapor has escaped.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Hua Mu was not at all happy, Bai Zhen felt a little sad in her heart.
Hua Mu slumped on the hay and said with her back to the white pillow, "It's nothing, I'm just tired. Prepare dinner, I'll rest for a while."
The white pillow hesitated for a while, and finally left silently.
Although the south coast is not as rich in resources as the east coast, White Pillow is more familiar with it. About 100 meters from the coast began to be the wreck belt. Because of the action of the ocean current, she could no longer explore outside, but it was enough to realize the terribleness of the area around the island.
Although Hua Mu saw that she had salvaged a lot of things, she had never seen these sunken ships in almost all historical eras. So far, she has only regarded the tragedy of the two as an accident.
If the shipwreck circle is the circle of death, then this island is probably the island of death.
The white pillow was a little worried.
The empire's warships are naturally invincible, but how long can they last in the face of the storm that the two encountered at that time
It's just that in the current situation, no matter how worried it is, it's useless. Bai Zhen refocused his energy on how to cheer Hua Mu up.
The shortage of fresh water is indeed a difficult problem for the two of them at the moment. Hua Mu's active attitude to solve it together makes Bai Zhen both moved and guilty.
If it weren't for her being so useless, why would the eldest lady worry about such a thing
In the end, the white pillow could see that Hua Mu was not satisfied with the result of this device.
Hua Mu really felt a little tired today, and after lying down for a while, she still felt uncomfortable everywhere. She turned around and saw that the beach was empty, feeling a little flustered and annoyed for some unknown reason.
Obviously you should get used to it, why are you afraid of another person today
Must be caused by physical discomfort.
She didn't walk much today, she stayed on the white pillow most of the time, but why not only did her back hurt, but her stomach was a little swollen...
The lady suddenly sat up.
She remembered something, an extremely important thing that has been deliberately forgotten.
"Fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth..."
The two of them landed on the island on April 4th, and today is the thirteenth day, which is April 16th.
The more Hua Mu thought about it, the more painful her lower abdomen felt, and she clutched her stomach and wanted to cry without tears. But today, she also ate three sea urchins.
Hua Mu's menstrual period has always been difficult, and no matter how she takes care of her, it is useless. So at this time of the month, she turns into a home, and she can't move if she can. Ginger tea, warm water bags, and painkillers all come into battle.
But now in such a wilderness, let alone painkillers, she doesn't even have sanitary pads.
"White pillow..."
Moreover, she is super fragile when she is on her period!
Where has this bastard gone! !
The White Pillow swam more than a nautical mile westward along the coastline. The coast here is full of cliffs, the sea is full of reefs, and the number of shipwrecks is far more than in other places. In the waters near the beach where the two of them were, basically all the fragments of ships could be found, but there were quite a few complete ships, and even many large ships with their heights sticking out of the sea.
Because of the turbulent currents nearby, White Pillow had not explored carefully before, but this time she decided to take a risk.
There is a medium-sized passenger ship farther away from the island, and it should be a ship that has been in the past ten years. The total length of the passenger ship is about 40 meters, and it breaks in the middle. The bow and stern are deeply inserted into the seabed, and the middle break is much higher than the sea. The hull was covered with barnacles and other marine creatures, and the words painted in red paint could only be vaguely seen on the hull.
White Pillow swam around the boat, but did not find an entrance big enough for him to pass through, and finally chose to climb up from the top of the boat. Attached marine life reduces the difficulty of climbing, but also increases the chance of injury. Fortunately, White Pillow was well-trained and reached out swiftly to reach the break of the ship without a hitch.
The entire hull is inclined at an angle of more than 60 degrees, and the stratification of the cabin is not very obvious. You can directly see the clear sea water below when looking in from above.
The white pillow took out the multifunctional saber and attached it to the climbing wire made of bio-steel, and then the eagle claws at the tail of the general's saber were deeply inserted into the iron plate of the hull. The other end of the climbing wire was connected to the automatic retractor at the tail of the dagger. After the dagger was fastened to the belt, White Pillow took a deep breath and jumped into the cabin.
Since there is no direct sunlight, the water in the cabin is colder than outside, and the light is dim. To be on the safe side, the white pillow ate a small white tablet beforehand, and then began to search for the cabins where the supplies were placed one by one.
Hua Mu was worried about her menstrual period while waiting for the white pillow to come back. The pain in her stomach was by no means a psychological level, but she didn't have the courage to check it herself.
What should she do if it's her period
But there is only one thing in the world where death cannot be escaped, and for women, except the female sentinel, the great aunt is also inescapable.
Hua Muzhi felt aggrieved, and I don't know why this kind of thing happened to her. She maintained a posture and dared not move, and scolded the white pillow ten thousand times in her heart.
It wasn't until the sky was overcast that Hua Mu finally saw a figure slowly walking up from the sea. The white pillow seemed to be dragging something heavy, and the pace was much heavier than usual.
Hua Mu sat up on her knees and was so angry that she couldn't help but wanted to shout at her, but before she could say anything, the other party seemed to have suddenly noticed something and threw the things on the beach, and the leopard rushed towards her like a leopard. come over.
"Miss!"
Hua Mu hadn't lost her temper at her yet, but was taken aback by her panicked appearance.
"What, what are you doing!"
Hua Mu didn't know whether Bai Zhen was born with facial paralysis or was trained by the sentinels, but only knew that she had not smiled a few times during the five years she had been her bodyguard. As for nervousness and worry, it occasionally appeared, but it was not obvious from his face.
And the reasons expressed always make Hua Mu feel depressed, anyway, not afraid of his father's blame or afraid of the queen's worry.
However, after arriving on the island, Bai Zhen's emotions were indeed released a little. For example, the panic at this time was very obvious.
Bai Zhen's face was pale, pulling Hua Mu's arm as if she wanted to check her body.
"Miss, where are you injured?"
Hua Mu is inexplicable.
"How can I be injured, you, where have you been, it took so long to come back!"
White pillow thought she didn't want to worry about herself, and said anxiously: "Miss, don't lie to me, I smell blood. What's the matter, did another seabird attack you? Or did you go to pick mussels again? already?"
Damn sentry!
Hua Mu blushed.
She had cursed the Sentinel's keen five senses more than once, but this time it must have been her worst.
Damn sentry!
Her period is really coming!
"Miss?"
Seeing Hua Mu's blushing face, Bai Zhen looked at herself without saying a word, and couldn't care less to smell her body, trying to find out where she was injured.
Hua Mu raised her small fist and punched her in the face.
"Big, big lady?"
Bai Zhen looked at Hua Mu in panic, and when she saw that she started to shed tears again, she felt sad in her heart.
"Are you in pain?"
Hua Mu is dying of pain! But the tears are more because of grievance and shame! Why did she have to encounter this kind of thing
"… my stomach hurts."
The first thing that Bai Zhen thought was that Hua Mu had eaten her stomach.
"Is there something wrong with what I ate today? Could it be sea urchin..."
He couldn't beat around the bush, Hua Mu gave up the struggle and said straight to the point: "My period is up, understand? The girl's period is the one that comes every month."
Such a straightforward statement, even a male sentinel should understand the white pillow!
During non-mission periods, her period also came on time. But the Sentinel's body is built for the task, and it can autonomously use the mental body to regulate the physiological response during the performance of the task.
This is similar to the time animals choose to estrus according to changes in the environment and climate, except that it relies on the mental body to affect the release of hormones from the body, so the rate at which the Sentinel's exhaustion value increases will be greatly increased.
That is to say, the white pillow has suspended his physiological period at the expense of speeding up the consumption of small white tablets.
