When the whole team finally arrived at "Suitable Camping Site No. 1", the four of them sat under the shade of a nearby tree to rest for a while because of the long journey.
The proportion of palm trees near here is obviously much higher than that of the jungle on the coast.
The location suitable for setting up a "simple camp" is only a small open space with lush wild grass and no trees growing in the tropical jungle on the coral island.
Shen Gu visually inspected the grassland and found that the area was about 80 square meters.
This area is not large, but it is more than enough to build a simple wooden shed for resting at night.
In addition, in addition to the area that the wooden shed may occupy, there will also be some other larger areas left for lighting a fire in front of the wooden shed and placing some other items for storage.
After everyone sat down, Su Ziqing briefly pointed to Shen Gu and Wu Jiayi in the direction of the nearby water source.
The water source needs to continue walking south from here for a distance of about fifty meters. It was also Su Ziqing and Zhou Yang who first discovered this empty grassland suitable for setting up a simple camp.
When I was exploring about a hundred meters away from the grassland, I was delighted to find it.
After pointing the direction of the stream to the two of them, Su Ziqing continued to point to the "air" and said:
"Because there is a water source nearby, this large open grassland was chosen by Sister Zhou and me as the first place suitable for building a "simple camp"."
"Later, we encountered adult wild boar No. 2 nearby, which is suitable for camping. The water source near it has a similar amount of water to this creek."
"But the slight advantage over here is that there are more large and small rocks nearby than here."
"Perhaps it was the volcanic eruption on the island many, many years ago that caused the closer to the extinct volcano, the more stones were left on the ground!"
"I have roughly measured the water volume of the creeks at these two water sources before with my finger. The deepest part of the creek is only about five or six centimeters!"
"If we go to get water from the creek later, firstly, it will take a little longer. Another thing we need to pay attention to is that we must always be vigilant to see if other animals will come to drink water."
"Even if there are not ferocious wild boars, if there are weak hares and the like, we can also set up some small traps later, which will serve as another good food source for us!"
After listening to Su Ziqing's words, the other three except Wu Jiayi who still regarded her as a "competitor" emotionally.
At this time, both Shen Gu and Zhou Yang felt from the bottom of their hearts that this time they came to the coral island to record a "wild survival" program, and having someone like Su Ziqing with "rich theoretical knowledge" and thoughtful thinking as their partner was really a blessing. It's great!
Of course, for teachers Shen Gu and Zhou Yang.
If Su Ziqing hadn't always wanted to experience a "real survival in the wild".
These two people would not agree to participate in the recording of this variety show led by Zhou Huahai.
"So fundamentally speaking, the way she behaves so well and thoughtfully now is what she should do for me?"
After Shen Gu suddenly had such an idea, he also felt that it was more interesting to involve causality.
However, he didn't say anything. For the time being, he adhered to the principle of not actively raising topics, and just smiled slightly.
It’s a wise act of self-preservation!
So, after Su Ziqing finished introducing all this, the four of them seemed a little silent during the rest of the rest time.
Wu Jiayi looked at the empty grassland in front of her, her eyes a little distant, and she seemed slightly in a daze.
As for Teacher Zhou Yang, after Su Ziqing had performed well in front of everyone.
Deliberately let her shine again in front of the drone's camera.
When he saw that there were many palm trees nearby, he asked Su Ziqing seemingly unintentionally:
"I think this palm tree looks very similar to a coconut tree, but it doesn't grow as tall as a coconut tree, and it can't produce coconuts."
"They should be considered relatively similar species among plants!"
Su Ziqing recalled for a moment, then continued to sit where he was and answered Zhou Yang:
"Yes, both woody plants belong to the palm family."
"Palm trees are evergreen trees that are common in the tropics and subtropics. Their leaves give people a feathery look with cracked slits throughout."
"Their temperature requirements are not as high as those of coconut trees. They are also more drought-tolerant than coconut trees. The tree height is usually between four and six meters. Their vitality is also one of the more tenacious among many plants."
Having said this, Su Ziqing raised his hand and looked up at the top of a coconut tree a little further away.
Then he continued to say to Teacher Zhou Yang:
"In contrast, although coconut trees belong to the palm family like palm trees, they require more potassium in the soil. They also grow much taller than palm trees, and their trunks are straighter."
"Ignoring the leaves that these two trees automatically drop to the ground, we want to obtain a large amount of shelter for the roof of our wooden house and the filling for the bottom layer of the bed."
"Objectively speaking, palm leaves are better for us to obtain!"
After hearing this, Teacher Zhou Yang immediately praised Su Ziqing in front of the drone camera:
"Xiao Su, you know too much!"
“It’s like a walking encyclopedia!!”
When Wu Jiayi saw Shen Gu also casting approving glances at Su Ziqing, she suddenly stood up unhappily, stretched her waist and said:
"I've had enough rest!"
"How do you feel?"
"If we want to build a wooden shed, we don't have the tools to cut down the trees."
"Not only that, they don't even have a sharp short saber that can cut down the thick branches on the trees."
"It seems that the only way we have left is to look around and see if there are thick branches that have fallen naturally on the forest floor!"
When Shen Gu heard that she had chosen the "Benbi" suit before insinuating Su Ziqing again, he stood up immediately and smoothed things over in a very optimistic tone:
"There are so many trees around here, it shouldn't be hard to find thick branches!"
"We can still search in pairs. Anyway, it's still early in the day and there's still a lot of time to build this "simple camp."
However, Su Ziqing seemed to have other methods.
Still sitting on the ground, she raised her head and asked Shen Gu how strong he was.
Shen Gu was a little confused when asked, but he quickly responded:
"Just like a normal adult man!"
Then he guessed in his mind at the same time:
"As for your strength."
"She probably wants me to find some big rocks first, and then build a circle around the empty grass field!"
At this time, he roughly calculated the length of a circle around the empty grass field.
From a visual inspection, even if the average length of the stones he could find was 30 centimeters, it would take about 120 stones of this length to form a single layer of stones in this circle!
And this is only the amount required for a single-layer enclosure. If Su Ziqing wanted to build the "wall" higher, the number of stones required might exceed a thousand!
