Chapter 647: The Great Failure to Survive in the Wilderness (2)
Arthur was standing at the top of the cliff, pulling the rope and carrying a fish basket of plump sea fish to the top of the cliff through the pulley device. After the fish basket came up, Hal next to him took it over and began to process the raw fish.
Scrape off the fish scales and remove all the internal organs. After cleaning, cut the fish open from the abdomen, then flatten it, then rub it repeatedly with the salt obtained before, and finally hang it on the drying rack that was just set up.
The four rows of racks are now full of hanging fish, marinated meats, half-dried fiber hemp ropes, and some fiber fabrics, all of which are swaying slightly with the dusty wind on the island.
Schiller stood on the platform and looked up. He met Hal who was adjusting the pulley block and looked down. Seeing that Schiller was awake, he waved and said, "Hi, Professor, good morning."
Just as Schiller was about to speak, he heard a "sizzling" sound. He turned his head and saw Bruce actually sitting on a wooden basket like a cable car, coming to the platform from low to high.
Schiller looked at Bruce and asked, "What have you done? How did this place become an agricultural society overnight?"
"No, we haven't started planting anything yet, but I just found some crop seeds there. According to my observation, the fruits of the shrubs represented by these seeds are edible, and some can extract a white pulp similar to glue.
, if we start planting now, we might be able to use it later.”
Schiller glanced sideways at the cable car he came up from. The direction Bruce came from was at a lower place, but the cave platform was at a higher place. It was obviously not using gravity, so Schiller asked: "Where did you get the power?"
Bruce said indifferently: "Go forward here and turn a corner. There is a small waterfall on the side of the cliff, which is very suitable for placing a waterwheel. The power provided by the waterwheel is insufficient, but it allows a person to ride on the ropeway.
Time to move forward is enough.”
Schiller put his hands on his hips and sighed. Looking from the platform into the distance, the wild primitive scenery is no longer so simple. At least it can be seen from the messy pulley lines that this place has got rid of the primitive Stone Age life.
We have begun to enter the era of small farmer economy.
"Oh, yes, last night, we made the hang glider. You can try it. By the way, we also finished the salt pan and crystallization pond, and built a few new large pots specifically for boiling salt."
"In the first half of the night, we took out all the fish from the fishing traps and harvested a total of about 6 kilograms of marine fish, as well as some shellfish and crabs. Hal cooked it overnight to make a sauce and stored it."
"Later in the middle of the night, we made a pulley system, powered by a water wheel, to transport goods on uneven terrain. Although we had to change lines and mount every time, we saved manpower."
"This morning, we have dried the marinated meat and fish. In addition, I plan to extract oil from the fat of the fish and use it as a tool."
"I've already done half of the truck that uses pedal power. The next step is to lay the foundation and start building the track."
Bruce picked up another basket of fish from the basket that carried him, and then said: "Next, I plan to completely automate the food acquisition, so that the fish can be transported from the sea, to fine processing, and then to classification and storage.
, can all utilize the kinetic energy of waterwheels to achieve automation.”
"This may be a bit of waste wood. After all, a simple wooden transmission structure may require many complicated parts, but it doesn't matter. I found possible traces of minerals in the rocks on the east side of the island. If everything goes well, we will soon
We can start smelting iron..."
Schiller covered his forehead with his hand, took a deep breath, looked at the pulley line that shuttled between the woods, and the tropical rain forest that had been cut down by Bruce, and he sighed deeply.
Schiller wanted to use nature to stimulate Bruce's emotional emotions, not to let him climb the technological tree and become the king of rolls.
People always say that the characters of Batman and Green Arrow overlap, but Batman has another characteristic that Green Arrow does not have, that is, he can develop from scratch no matter how barren the environment is.
Until he took out outrageous technological equipment on the spot.
At this point, Iron Man is still more like Batman. Using those outdated and outdated equipment to piece together an armor that spans the ages, shouldn't it be the basic skill of a genius?
As soon as Schiller thought of this, he heard Bruce say:
"By the way, I heard from Arthur that you were attacked by Mexican drug traffickers. In this case, I think it is necessary to build some defenses on the island..."
"Wait a minute, don't..."
"This morning, I explored the entire island and found the wreckage of a plane crash. I used the parts there to piece together a defense robot. It should be running now. If there is an enemy attack..."
At this moment, Arthur's cry came from above, and he said: "Oh no! I heard the killer whale said that it seems that a ship is coming here. They are menacing and may be looking for trouble..."
Oliver, who came over after hearing the sound, was still a little pale. He said seriously: "Maybe they were the group of drug dealers who attacked me. They were extremely crazy and they wiped out an entire village on this island a long time ago..."
"When I was hiding in the dark and observing them, they heard the noise, and their first reaction was to shoot. If I hadn't hid quickly, I would be dead by now."
Hal cast his eyes on Oliver's shoulder, and when he heard Oliver say it was a drug dealer, he frowned and his face darkened.
Among these people, Hal has the healthiest life and rest. As a pilot, not only must he maintain a good body, but he must also stay mentally alert at all times. Although he is no longer a test pilot, this habit has been retained to this day.
Therefore, not to mention drugs, cigarettes and alcohol have nothing to do with him. Hal is disgusted with such addictive substances and feels that they will control his mind and make him make mistakes when he needs to concentrate.
Hearing that Oliver said that these drug dealers actually massacred an entire village, Hal became a little angry. Looking at the ship and the drug dealers with guns on the ship, Hal subconsciously flew up and wanted to deal with it.
them.
As a result, when he was halfway through the flight, he saw a dark robot rushing out of the forest and shooting at the bottom of the ship. The ship began to slowly descend, and the drug dealers above panicked and began to dive.
The program Bruce set for the robot naturally did not use lethal force. But who would have thought that after these drug dealers fell into the water, they saw a huge monster.
The black and white figure rushed towards them quickly. When he saw the shadow of the whale clearly, the leader breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew that it was a killer whale, and killer whales generally would not attack on their own initiative.
human.
Then, he was bitten in two by a killer whale.
Looking at the red color on the sea, Arthur closed his eyes and tried to concentrate. He heard the bottom call of the killer whale.
His face began to become heavy, and he turned to look at Schiller and said, "Do you remember what I said before? Killer whales usually appear in pairs or groups, but the killer whale that sent you here
, but it is alone, which is very strange..."
Seeing the scene in the ocean, Schiller roughly understood that the killer whales swimming in the Gulf of Mexico would easily encounter the teams of these drug dealers. Although these drug dealers make a living by selling drugs, it is difficult to say that they do not know how to hunt whales.
, because the power of whaling is also very large.
Sure enough, Arthur said in a sad tone:
"He was a newly adult male killer whale. He was about to leave his mother to live alone, but just when they were about to separate, they encountered a whaling ship..."
"His mother was killed by humans. According to him, the whaling ship was escorted by this group of drug traffickers..."
"Exhausted." Bruce commented.
Although he didn't kill anyone, he didn't necessarily want to rescue the whaler and drug dealer who fell into the water, so he just made a comment and turned back to the cave.
Hal flew back again, feeling a little heavy, because even though he couldn't communicate with the fish, he could still hear the scream of the killer whale.
After landing, he said with some sigh: "When I was in Beach City, I heard the legend of whalers. People called them heroes and thought they conquered the strongest beast in the world..."
Hal shook his head and sighed, obviously disapproving and disappointed with this behavior. At this time, Schiller stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. Hal thought Schiller was going to comfort him, but he heard
Until Schiller opened his mouth and said:
"You used your superpower first, so you lost."
Hal covered his eyes. How could he forget this? Sure enough, this would happen if the green light ability was used too smoothly.
Just when he was dejected and about to accept the result, Bruce, who had already walked to Oliver's side, heard a voice from inside the cave:
"Your recovery is really good. The wound is almost healed?"
"Yeah, I think it's amazing too. It was so painful last night, I even suspected that I passed out from the pain, but when I woke up this morning..."
Oliver opened the clothes on his shoulders and stared at his shoulders with some confusion. The injury on it was almost healed. Except that the skin had not completely grown back, the craters left by the steel balls and the previously ulcerated and infected parts had already healed.
Completely disappeared.
Hal turned his head and stared at Schiller with an unkind look. Schiller said calmly: "Maybe Oliver has super powers, super-speed recovery. Isn't this rare? Don't you have it too?"
Hal glanced at Oliver's face, which had returned to red, snorted coldly, and said, "You win this time, doctor."
After saying that, he also walked in and began to ask Oliver about the specific situation of the group of drug dealers.
After breakfast, Arthur and Schiller went fishing on the beach. Although he knew that the wilderness survival-themed vacation trip might have come to naught due to Bruce’s speed increase, he could still enjoy the tranquility of this last period, and at the same time finally
Struggling again to see if you really can't catch a fish.
When they arrived at the beach, they found a rock standing in the water, used the fishing rod made by Arthur, the fishing line made by Bruce, and used the entrails of small fish as bait.
Not long after Schiller cast the rod, suddenly, a shark head appeared on the surface of the sea. The two people standing on the reef were stunned. Arthur paused and then said:
"Don't worry, I have the ability to communicate with fish. Let me feel what this shark is thinking... Oh, he wants to bite you."
"Does this still need to be felt????"
Schiller picked up the fishing rod angrily and turned around to leave. But at this moment, he saw a black shadow appearing in the distance on the horizon, which looked like an airplane.
As the plane flew closer, Schiller discovered that there was a small figure under the plane, holding up the plane with his hands raised.
Not only Schiller spotted the shadow of the plane, but Bruce, who was cutting trees outside, also saw it. He calculated the plane's flight path and landing point, and walked quickly towards it.
When the plane landed, Schiller and Hal also arrived. Clark placed the plane firmly on the ground. Seeing several people on the ground staring at him, Clark looked at the surrounding environment, rubbed his hands and said:
"Don't look at me, I didn't come here, I'm just a courier..."
Bruce suddenly had a bad premonition. He took a slight step back, and then, a black shadow pounced on him with a "swish".
A group of seabirds roared above the entire island, and a scream pierced the sky:
