The waves beat against the side of the ship regularly, and Bifang slowly opened his eyes. His body was extremely tired, but his spirit became excited again after falling to the bottom.
He could feel the wind and waves getting smaller.
The most difficult moment has been passed!
The storm is gone, now he has the upper hand!
With his extremely strong arms, he fought against the cold waves again and again. Bi Fang felt like an arrow piercing the wind and cutting through the waves. Nothing could stop him, not waves, storms, hunger, or even nature! Because he was enough
Sharp!
Bi Fang suddenly opened the tent and breathed normal air again. He felt that the cold air was so sweet.
He turned his head back and looked out at a glance. The sea was pitch black, with no islands and no mainland. On the boundless water, there was this orange life raft floating.
The drone could no longer see clearly in the wind and rain. There were only dark, undulating waves all around, but the waves at this time were much smaller than a few minutes ago.
The victory is almost certain.
The audience's hearts were almost beating out of their chests. Will this half-hour storm finally come to an end?
of course not!
Bi Fang grabbed his coat and knelt down on the life raft with difficulty. Although the waves were reduced by more than half, it did not mean that the life raft was stable. In a big wave of three meters, even if Bi Fang had better balance,
Under the undulating waves, as long as he dares to stand, a wave will make him fall into the sea instantly.
Bi Fang opened his coat and pointed the hem towards the sky, trying to let the cold rainwater flow into it.
This is the simplest and fastest way to collect water, but the disadvantages are also considerable. Without the shelter of a tent, Bifang's body is completely exposed to the rain.
Bone-piercing abnormality.
The rain quickly wet him, and the soaked lining clung to his body. The muscles all over his body were clear and soft. Water droplets fell from the tips of his hair. He stretched out his hand and combed his iron-gray hair back neatly, revealing his pale cheeks.
, handsome, tall and sexy.
Even foreign audiences had to admit Bi Fang's charm at this moment, and the female audience members were frantically taking screenshots, almost drooling, oh, or they were already drooling, but no one knew.
It's hard to understand whether they are watching the program for Bi Fang's people or Bi Fang's story.
But Bifang did not feel joy for the audience's cheers, and he did not even care. There was no joy on his face. The lonely cold wind blew through, cutting away the heat from his body like a bone-scraping steel knife, and then his whole body felt like convulsions.
A general tremor.
Cold, extreme cold, from skin to muscles, from blood to bone marrow, eroding this seemingly perfect body inch by inch.
Due to hypothermia, his body quickly developed adverse reactions. The pain was like a poisonous snake biting his lower abdomen. The severe abdominal pain made Bifang tremble even more violently, but he never let go.
For water, he needs water.
There wasn't even a shelf on the life raft, so he didn't have to hold up his coat with both hands, so he couldn't catch the rain all over the sky. But in this way, he was bound to be exposed to the rain.
Bi Fang thought of other methods, such as setting up the tent and lowering the middle to form a funnel shape, allowing the rainwater to collect naturally. Finally, he could poke a small hole on the top to collect it, but this was quickly rejected by him.
, the reason is that it is too unreliable.
The water in the tent will make it impossible for Bi Fang, who is hiding under the tent, to observe the specific situation. When the waves come, most of the rainwater will be lost due to the ups and downs, not to mention the splashing waves. If it is slightly mixed with the sea water, the collected rainwater will be ineffective.
.
No one knows how long this rain will last. If you miss it, it may rain again five or six days later. If you keep drinking water by distillation, you can persist, but the state at that time will definitely be so bad that it is unimaginable.
, and it is impossible for him to do that.
The mission goal is to survive for twenty-one days. How many days can we survive? What about ten days? What about twenty days?
Bi Fang not only wants water, he also wants food. If he chooses 24-hour distilled water, he may be able to persist, but how can he find food?
There is no answer to this question, should we choose water or body temperature?
Comparing the two, Bi Fang finally chose to come out to get the water.
The physical constitution is as high as fifteen points. Such a value is already quite high and can even be called strong. Even catching a cold is rare in daily life. It is worth letting Bi Fang choose to take a gamble.
The wind and waves were getting smaller, but the rain was still pouring down, falling on the life raft and turning into mist, like rising steam.
Bi Fang could feel that the clothes in his hands were getting heavier and heavier. Among all his clothes, only his jacket was waterproof. Fortunately, he still had a jacket that was waterproof.
Very few items of clothing are completely waterproof, except for professional sports suits.
Although the kidnapping attack came suddenly and there was no preparation, Bi Fang did like to wear sportswear because he had to do a lot of training every day. He randomly picked out a piece of professional sportswear from his wardrobe, and he also had money, so he naturally bought it.
All are good goods.
He tied the cuffs tightly and zipped up. If all went well, such a piece of clothing might be able to bring him more than eight liters of fresh water, nearly half the amount of pure water!
Even one liter a day can meet the drinking water needs of a strong adult man for more than ten days, and the rest of the energy can be focused on searching for food.
In order to maximize the use of rainwater, Bi Fang even opened his mouth directly to the sky and caught the rainwater with his mouth, so that the collected rainwater could be used more.
After taking a few sips, Bi Fang finally had time to say a few words to the audience: "When collecting rainwater, everyone must be careful of the waves on the sea. Once seawater enters your container, the fresh water you collected may be in vain.
, so we need to reserve as many storage containers as possible."
"Also, when it rains, you can drink until you're full, but you have to do it slowly. As I said before, overdrinking when you're short of water for a long time can easily cause vomiting."
After just two sentences, Bi Fang suddenly shuddered, but he still insisted on speaking.
"If the rain is too heavy and the ship's side is flooded, don't be nervous, because the water itself is a good ballast. Even if the water has flooded the ship's side, it can continue to float."
"You see, the water has covered the top of my feet, but I haven't paid attention to it. It can even help me wash away the salt on the seaweed. However, because there are always waves coming in, the effect may not be great, but it is still effective.
Something useful."
The camera cut to inside the life raft, and the audience discovered that Bifang's feet had indeed been mostly submerged, and even the sargassum tied with ropes on the side began to float, just like it did in the sea at the beginning.
[Damn it, why is Lao Fang still trembling when he says this? 】
[Nonsense, it must be freezing, this rain looks cold to me, and the wind is so damn strong]
[I thought it would be safe as the wind and waves became smaller, but I didn’t expect that the difficulties would be yet to come]
Many viewers nodded when they saw this barrage. Yes, they had thought so before. Unexpectedly, the real difficulty was not the storm, but how to collect rainwater.
Hey, it would be great if it was the Pacific Ocean near the equator. It would be cooler when it rains. But unlike now, the water is like poison, and it will cause continuous damage if it touches it.
Fang Shen was so frozen when he first appeared on the stage. It has been three days now. Can he still resist when his condition is declining?
Some fans expressed worries, but most people still have full confidence in Bifang. The storm has passed and things will get better in the future.
[By the way, no one thinks Lao Fang’s clothes are awesome? Is the waterproof effect so good? 】
【It looks like a big brand at first glance,】
[I don’t know, but a good jacket costs tens of thousands of dollars at least. It has all the functions it should have, not to mention waterproof. I heard that it will be fine even if it is exposed to fire...]
[Fang Shen’s equipment has always been very good, and he can be a real boss, rich and promiscuous]
[It’s over, what should I do if I have no money]
[I’m so impressed, you really make money with your own skills, isn’t it better than those traffic niche guys? I can beat ten of them one by one!]
[Ten? I’m keeping a low profile. I’m a guy who screams even if his skin is broken. If you don’t brag, you won’t be slanderous. Let’s say a hundred. 】
The topic direction of the barrage is always easy to go astray under the control of water friends, and after a while, they started talking about what to eat for dinner.
Bifang, who raised his hands in the air, couldn't hold on any longer. He was already exhausted from holding on to the life raft and struggling in the wind and waves. Now he was even more tired with his hands raised, making his arms weak.
There was no other way. Bi Fang softened his hands and put his half-filled coat on the life raft, which relieved the fatigue of his arms. However, he always kept a close eye on the waves around him to prevent seawater from contaminating fresh water. This would be the next step for him to survive.
The guarantee cannot be compromised.
Finally, after collecting for nearly half an hour, Bifang filled the clothes with water. He quickly tied the lower opening of the clothes tightly with a bath towel. The reason why he used extra clothes to wrap it was also to increase the volume of the coat itself.
If it is wrapped with the hem of the jacket itself, the storage space will be much smaller.
After finishing all this, Bi Fang quickly put up the tent again, and then drained all the seawater and rainwater from the raft. The remaining bit was wiped dry with clothes and wrung out, and then Bi Fang curled up into the life raft.
"ha!"
Putting the water bag aside, Bifang's whole body was trembling, his face was pale and bloodless, and he kept breathing hot air, trying to warm his stiff hands.
The waves were no longer big, and Bi Fang no longer had to worry about the boat capsizing without his control, but the loss of temperature almost made him pause to think.
[Damn, I feel cold just looking at it]
[That is to say, Fang Shen has a strong physique. If it were me, he would freeze to death.]
[By the way, why didn’t Lao Fang just huddle in the tent and just take out his coat to get the water? That way his hands would be colder, right? 】
[No, haven’t you heard that we need to prevent waves from polluting fresh water? How can you check whether waves are coming when you are huddled in a tent? If it is polluted, all your efforts will be wasted, and as long as the zipper is opened, the boat will definitely get flooded. 】
"That's right."
Bi Fang nodded tremblingly when he saw the barrage. If he set up a tent to collect water, on the one hand, there would be a blind spot in the field of vision, and he would not be able to see the direction of the waves, and the fresh water would be easily polluted by sea water.
On the other hand, although the wind was lighter at that time, it was still very strong. If the zipper was opened and the tent was not completely pressed down, the entire tent might be blown away by the wind, and then the gain would outweigh the loss.
"But it's all worth it. At least for the next ten days, I won't have to worry about Tamsui."
Bi Fang huddled in the corner, rubbing his skin with his hands in an attempt to rewarm him.
"The sea state should have reached Level 4 now, which is stronger than when I first arrived. The waves on the sea surface at this time still have a very obvious shape, with many wave crests breaking, whitecaps forming everywhere, appearing in groups, and occasionally droplets, so I
You can’t make any big moves yet, that would still be quite dangerous.”
The audience was still a little shocked when they heard it. What does it mean?
Is the danger not over yet?
"No, it has been lifted." Bi Fang shook his head, "The danger only exists, but it is not high. Under level 4 sea conditions, ordinary fishing boats will have obvious vibrations and need to partially reduce the sails. There is no need to completely unfurl the sails. As long as we
If we don’t take big action, the danger will be far away from us.”
Then Bi Fang briefly introduced the division of sea conditions.
Sea state levels are classified based on the conditions visible to the naked eye on the sea surface. Levels 1-9 are respectively called calm waves, light waves, small waves, medium waves, large waves, huge waves, wild waves, raging waves, and raging waves.
Waves with a height of more than 20 meters are classified as violent waves. Because they are rare, they have not been officially rated.
Generally speaking, only when it reaches Category 5 and above, there is a greater threat to ships. The previous storm in Bifang even reached Category 6, which is the most dangerous situation, especially for life rafts.
After listening to Fang’s description, the audience became even more excited. Damn it, that’s awesome. Fishing boats in Level 6 sea conditions didn’t even dare to leave the port, but Fang was able to get through it safely. He is worthy of being a god!
Mulenga had to admit that Bifang's courage was worthy of the reputation. But he was indeed not a hypocrite. After all, the camera couldn't be fake. This was not a fake hunt, but the most real storm confrontation.
There was another burst of barrages and gifts in the live broadcast room. Most of them were bones and meatballs, with messages saying that they would make soup for him to warm him up.
Of course Bi Fang accepted it gladly. When he saw the gifts all over the screen, he suddenly felt that his body was no longer so cold.
Even Jarrett from the program team received a message from the channel. On the phone, the leader praised Jarrett's arrangement. Discovery Channel's ratings once rose to 3.2%, which is already the highest rate for all Discovery Channel programs this year.
The show with the highest ratings since its release.
Even though 3.2% doesn’t seem high, ten years ago, the ratings would not be enough to watch even a dozen or so, but things are different now. Today, even if it is just over 3%, channel leaders have to hire directors.
We ask for help every day, and no one with a lower position can join in.
Seeing this good result, the leader quickly called and asked Jaret Nu to work hard to stabilize the high-level ratings. Now that the economy is generally in recession, and fewer and fewer people like to watch TV, it is rare to seize this opportunity.
You must take advantage of it and promise to come back and give them a salary increase.
Faced with this call, the staff of the program team were naturally ecstatic. Who doesn't like white money?
Moreover, if you participate in the production of such a program, it will be an excellent qualification for you to go out in the future. No one dares to look down on you, and you don’t have to worry about changing jobs.
Faced with such a situation, even Jarrett couldn't calm down. Although he was the number one director of Discovery Channel, TV production was generally in a slump, and he had no results for a long time. He was able to produce a 3.2% show, and there was even hope.
A program that hits 4% ratings is certainly worthy of celebration.
Jarrett and Pondy knew all of this, and Bi Fang took the greatest credit for bringing the concept of wilderness survival to the public and making people aware of it.
Oh, it turns out that wilderness survival is so exciting, can it still be played like this?
As a great master who founded a sect in China, he is definitely worthy of admiration for a lifetime by those who come after him. Even if he carves a wooden statue and offers it as an offering, well, this is a bit exaggerated, but making a figure and placing it on his desk will not be enough.
