Surviving Endless Disasters

The structure of a candle is very simple, just wax and wick, so Wen Zheng thought it was very simple to make candles, but then he was stumped. The oil has not solidified yet. Is it because something needs to be added to it, or is it because the temperature here is too high?

Put the bamboo tube filled with oil in cold water, but there is still no sign of solidification. Wen Zheng looked at the oil helplessly, but unfortunately he couldn't think of a solution.

If this road is different, then change the way. If you can't make candles, you can make oil lamps.

After looking at the materials in the cave, Wen Zheng took out the cans he picked up from the marine garbage. The cans are strong and fire-resistant. After cutting off the upper layer, only half of the bottom is left.

Whether it is an oil lamp or a candle, a wick is needed.

The wicks used in modern times are mostly cotton threads. In addition to cotton threads, the wicks used by ancient people have various materials. There is a plant called rush. The stem pith of the queen can be used as a wick, and there are also bundles of hemp straw. In fact, most plant fibers can be used, but it’s just a matter of convenience.

The principle of burning candles and oil lamps is to burn the outer oil through the wick in the middle. As long as the wick inside can burn, it will be fine. Wen Zheng found some easy-to-burn plant fibers, twisted them into a long bundle as a wick, put one end in a can, and then poured oil into it.

Holding a thin burning branch, Wen Zheng held his breath and carefully lit the wick. Seeing a small flame appear above the wick, he slowly moved the branch away. The wick continued to burn, and the oil lamp was successfully made! When Wen Zheng was making the oil lamp, Tuan Tuan had been watching quietly not far away. Feeling Wen Zheng's excitement, he flapped his wings and flew over.

The flapping of wings caused the air in the cave to flow, and a small breeze swept over the oil lamp that had just been lit. It only burned for a few seconds and the oil lamp went out.

Seeing that the small flame disappeared, Tuan Tuan had not yet associated his actions with the disappearance of the flame. His intuition made him turn the direction immediately, turn a corner and fly back.

While waiting for Wen Zheng to look over, Tuantuan pecked at the food in front of him as if nothing had happened, as if he knew nothing.

Wen Zheng smiled gently. Tuantuan's strength had not only increased these days, but his IQ had also increased. Seeing him playing tricks like this, Wen Zheng couldn't get angry at all, and he couldn't blame him for this.

This simple oil lamp was easy to extinguish, and it was quite good that it could burn the first time it was made.

How to solve the problem of extinguishing when encountering wind is what he will do next.

The oil lamp needs a windproof cover. In order not to affect the lighting function of the candle, this cover must be transparent. There are many transparent plastic mineral water bottles in the cave, which can be used.

Some of those mineral water bottles are of different thicknesses. It was hard to dig out a large enough bottle from them and cut off the small part on the top.

The candle wick was re-lit, and the wide plastic bottle covered it, which just blocked the wind outside. Although the oil lamp can only illuminate a small area, it is enough to satisfy Wen Zheng, which is better than nothing.

Moreover, these plastic mineral water bottles are not only colorless, but some plastic bottles of beverages have colors themselves, and covering them will change the color of the light.

After playing with the oil lamp for a while, Wen Zheng discovered a new problem. The grease is not solidified. If the position of the lamp is moved, the wick inside will also tilt left and right. Once it almost burned the plastic bottle, the position of the wick must be fixed.

After thinking carefully, Wen Zheng took a bamboo piece and started to whittle it, grinding the bamboo piece into a size that can be stuck in the can.

Then drill a small hole in the middle of the round bamboo piece, let the wick pass through the hole, just enough to fix the position of the wick.

The trouble is that when the wick burns below the bamboo piece, Wen Zheng needs to open the plastic bottle cover and move the wick inside.

Just as Wen Zheng was tossing the stone chestnut fruit, the turtle eggs under the beach grew quietly, and the oil lamp was finally successfully made, and the little turtles began to crawl out of the beach one by one.

On the way to the ocean, most of them became delicacies for seabirds.

Wen Zheng saw this cruel scene with his own eyes, but did not stop it.

Tuan Tuan has the ability to drive all these birds away, but if all these little turtles survive, the huge number will destroy the surrounding food chain and cause more serious consequences.

The author has something to say: The author has never eaten turtle meat and turtle eggs, nor has he seen a stone chestnut tree. Some of the content has been found in the information, and some cannot be found. It all depends on the author's imagination.

If it does not match the reality, it is a problem of parallel worlds.

[The male protagonist is stranded on a deserted island and has to eat wild animals in order to survive, but it is wrong to sell, raise and eat wild animals.

Say no to wild game from me! ] Chapter 55 The sun is shining brightly, enthusiastically sprinkling golden sunshine, the blue waves are surging, and the cool waves are happily rolling up. Wen Zheng is standing in front of the farmland with a serious face, wearing a sun hat on his head, and smearing sunscreen mud on his body. He gently bends down, holding the rice stalks in one hand and the sickle in the other.

The full ears of rice are so heavy that they bend the rice stalks. The dew that has not yet evaporated stays on them, reflecting the sparkling light. The mature rice is closely arranged in the farmland. The sea breeze has fallen in love with the taste of fried stone chestnuts. Tuantuan works much more vigorously than before. Although he will still play for a while while pecking, his overall efficiency is three times that of before.

What Wen Zheng had to do was to fry a small portion of the peeled nuts every day and give them to Tuantuan as snacks.

The portion eaten by Tuantuan was far less than the extra part that was peeled off. Wen Zheng initially thought it was a good deal, and soon peeled out a lot of stone chestnut kernels.

Taking out the tools he used to make bamboo rice, Wen Zheng squeezed out the oil in the nuts by beating them.

He carefully collected the beaten oil and placed it in the cave, but it did not solidify for a long time, which made Wen Zheng worried.

Almost all modern homes use electric lights. Candles are only used in special times, such as in schools where there is a power outage, and students need to light candles to continue studying.

The structure of the candle is very simple, just wax and wick, so Wen Zheng thought that making the candle was very simple, but then he was stumped. The reason why the oil did not solidify was because something had to be added to it, or because the temperature here was too high.

Putting the bamboo tube containing the oil in cold water, there was still no sign of solidification. Wen Zheng looked at the oil helplessly, but unfortunately he couldn't think of a solution.

If this road is different, then take another path. If you can’t make candles, then you can make oil lamps.

After looking over the materials in the cave, Wen Zheng took out the can he had picked up from the ocean garbage. The can was strong and fire-resistant. After cutting off the upper layer, only half of the bottom was left.

Whether it is an oil lamp or a candle, it needs a wick.

Most of the wicks used in modern times are cotton threads. In addition to cotton threads, the wicks used by ancient people are made of various materials. There is a plant called rush. The pith of the stem of the Queen of Sun can be used as a wick, and it is also tied into bundles with hemp straw. In fact, most of them are All plant fibers can be used, but it is just inconvenient.

The principle of burning candles and oil lamps is to burn the fat on the outside through the wick in the middle. As long as the wick inside can burn, Wen Zheng found some easy-to-burn plant fibers, rolled them into a long bundle to serve as the wick, and placed it on one end. inside the can and pour the grease inside.

Holding a thin burning branch, Wen Zheng held his breath and carefully lit the wick. Seeing a small flame appear above the wick, he slowly moved the branch away, and the wick continued to burn. The oil lamp was made successfully! When Wen Zheng was making the oil lamp, Tuantuan had been watching quietly not far away. Sensing Wen Zheng's excitement, he flapped his wings and flew over.

The flapping of the wings caused the air to flow in the cave. A small gust of wind passed over the newly lit oil lamp. It only burned for a few seconds before the oil lamp went out.
