The desert island without rainfall for two months shows how scarce fresh water resources are.

Lu Zhe asked again: "By the way, how much did the coconut use in the past two days?"

Ning Shu said: "The coconut picked before is basically used up, and about one-third of the coconut picked after the harvest is left, and we can't reach the rest."

Lu Zhe nodded: "According to this method of use, in less than a week, the coconuts in this vicinity will be used up by us!"

Ning Shu asked, "Where else are there many coconut trees?"

Lu Zhe shook his head: "Using coconuts alone is not the way!" Even if the whole island of coconuts were for us to use, it wouldn't take us a few months!

Shen Bing also nodded: "There is too little water in each coconut, and some have no water at all, or they are rotten, and they can't be drunk at all."

Ning Shu said: "And always drink coconut water will have problems with your body!" Tang

Xiaoguo agreed incomparably: "Yes, yes, I have been drinking coconut water these days, I feel uncomfortable in my stomach, and I want to vomit when I smell coconut."

Jiang Yao said: "Me too, they are almost into coconut essence!"

Lu Zhe understood the feelings of several girls, in fact, he was the same, no matter when, coconut could not completely replace fresh water!

"In addition, we need to open up land and find fresh water that can be used sustainably!"

Shen Bing asked, "Lu Zhe, what are your plans next?"

"Really go into the jungle and look for water!"

Ning Shu said, "Aren't you really entering the jungle today?

"It doesn't count!"

Lu Zhe shook his head: "Today I walked along the mountainside with Asa to find the mountain stream, but from the current situation, the mountain stream has dried up, and it is estimated that I will not be able to find fresh water if I continue to look for it like this!"

Shen Bing asked, "Can you find it by entering the jungle?"

Lu Zhe thought for a while: "I dare not say that I will definitely find it, but at least I have more choices!" We can climb to the highest point of the island and overlook the entire island from above, if there is a lake or river, you can see it!

You can also look for groundwater deep on the island! "

Groundwater?" Shen Bing was a little puzzled: "Even if the island has groundwater, will it be fresh water?" "

Yes!"

Lu Zhe nodded affirmatively: "Have you heard of a word called 'freshwater lens'?"

Shen Bing pondered for a moment: "It seems to have heard it somewhere." "

Freshwater lens bodies, also known as 'gebons. Herzberg lenses' are a special geographical formation of Coral Islands.

Jiang Yao said: "It seems to have been talked about in high school, but after going to college, a lot of high school knowledge is returned to the teacher."

Ning Shu nodded: "Me too, you can be specific!"

"On Coral Island, where there are places that are thick in the middle and thin on the periphery, the tiny cavities of the coral form a filter layer that stores rainwater and allows fresh water to float above the sea and not blend!"

Because this geological phenomenon looks like a convex lens buried underground, it is also called a freshwater lens body!

Lin shallow said:

"I remembered! Fiery Cross Island, an artificial island in our country, has drilled many wells during the development process, and as a result, fresh water has been found in more than a third of the wells! Scientists have found that it is the result of this mirror phenomenon!

"Yes, this is it!"

Lu Zhe nodded: "The area of this volcanic island is even larger than Fiery Cross Island. There should be a similar geography!

Ning Shu exclaimed, "I really didn't expect that Lu Zhe, you also learned geography so well!"

Jiang Yao was a little worried: "But I can hear that only one-third of the wells have found fresh water. So, this kind of thing is also lucky!

"Of course, because the dry season lasts too long, or because of the geological structure of the volcano, it is possible to dig deep pits and end up nothing." Lu Zhe said frankly:

"But if you don't do anything, the chance is zero!"

Shen Bing nodded: "It seems that it is really necessary to enter the jungle, so when do you think, when should we leave?"

Lu Zhe thought for a while: "At least wait until your leg injuries and shallow stings heal."

Ning Shu said: "So, do you want everyone to go into the jungle together?" Don't have to guard the camp?

Lu Zhe nodded: "In less than a week, the coconuts here will be drunk by us, and we will have to move at that time, instead of this, it is better to enter the jungle together, meet the continuous fresh water resources and directly build a camp there, and save yourself from coming back to inform the people who remain."

Ning Shu smiled: "Exploring the jungle together, it's worth looking forward to?"

Lin shallow said: "If we camp in the jungle, then it will be inconvenient for us to come to the beach."

Jiang Yao also said: "I can't pick up Haibao and pick barnacles."

Tang Xiaoguo also became sad: "And the camp we spent the night decorating beautifully..." "

There is always a trade-off, for us now, nothing is more important than continuous fresh water!"

The girls looked at each other, and although everyone had some regret in their hearts, they all understood that Lu Zhede's judgment should be the most correct.

Lu Zhe thought for a while, and then said: "But don't worry too much, maybe after finding fresh water, you will find that it is not far from the sea, and everyone can still rush to the sea every day to pick up treasures!"

Shen Bing asked, "If the six of us enter the jungle, we need to prepare a lot of things!"

Lu Zhe thought for a while and nodded:

"I'll probably say it!"

First, everyone should prepare at least five bottles of fresh water!

You also need to have enough food so that you don't have to spend too much energy looking for food when you go into the jungle at the beginning!

Second, do a good job of protection! There are more mosquitoes in the jungle than on the beach! Get a bottle of mosquito repellent for every two people!

Third, sleeping directly on the ground in the tropical jungle is quite deadly, so you need to get some ropes, and you can make hammocks when camping!

Shen Bing nodded: "Fresh water is replaced by coconut water!" Well, we have enough food now, it seems that the main thing is rope, today Ning Shu they taught me how to weave rope with abaca. Let's recuperate and do more rope these days! Several

girls agreed!

"Okay, the plan is finalized first! Stop spending time maintaining the sanctuary! If you have the energy, enrich the variety of fresh water and food and prepare for exploring the jungle!

Lu Zhe looked at his watch again: "It's not early today, everyone eat something, rest early, and start preparing for entering the mountain tomorrow!" This

day I went to bed early, and when I opened my eyes early the next morning, I saw Tang Xiaoguo looking at him with a smile.

The result startled Lu Zhe.

"Big sister, what are you doing!"

Tang Xiaoguo flattened his mouth: "Doesn't the book say that what a boy wants to see most when he opens his eyes in the morning is that his cute girlfriend looks at him tenderly?" Today I am your girlfriend on duty!

Lu Zhe scratched his unkempt hair and said with a wry smile: "Then you can't scare me either!"

"It's so ruthless!"

Tang Xiaoguo originally wanted to have a seizure, but hesitated and gave up: "I have made up my mind, I must be the most well-behaved and intimate girlfriend today, so no matter what you say today, I won't be angry!" Said

, handing him a prepared breakfast!
