Chapter 51 Lehman(2/2)
After some conversation.
Chen Lang successfully gained recognition from Lehman.
He agreed to follow Chen Lang's command.
Chen Lang said: "I agree with what Lehman just said."
"We really need a big ship to store enough food and water."
"The food is very easy to prepare, and there are many wild boars on the island."
"Lehman and I can hunt wild boars and make jerky."
"But water is very difficult to deal with."
When Chen Lang talked about water, he felt worried.
He and Gwen had to explore every time they encountered an island, which was a helpless move.
Too little fresh water.
There is only enough for them for three days.
Therefore, every time they encounter an island, they must go to the island to replenish fresh water.
To avoid water shortage.
Lehman said: "I don't have any containers to hold water here, only these."
As he spoke, Lehman pointed to the plastic water bottle placed not far away.
Chen Lang estimates water consumption.
"Including the water bottles we brought, it probably only lasted three of us two days."
Two days is really a bit short.
"How about we make some barrels?"
Gwen suggested.
Lehman retorted: "The barrels need iron rings to prevent leakage, but we don't have iron rings at all."
"You can brush wood tar."
Gwen pointed to the boat not far away: "My boat is made like this, wood tar can make it waterproof."
"No."
Lehman said: "I think it's better to chop some thicker wood, hollow them out, and make barrels."
"But that would be too much effort."
Gwen shook her head.
At this time, Chen Lang suddenly said: "I have an idea."
"What?"
Lehman looked at Chen Lang.
Chen Lang pointed to Lehman's canoe: "How did you make your canoe?"
"Like I said, I cut a thick log and spent a long time hollowing it out."
Chen Lang heard this and marveled at Lehman's perseverance.
"This wastes too much time."
Chen Lang shook his head: "The two of us have to hunt, and it's difficult for Gwen to do so much work alone."
"So my method is better."
Gwen said: "Use fishing net wire to fix it, and then paint the barrel with wood tar. The workload is not big. If there are wooden boards, I can finish the work alone."
"This method is good, but I have an easier method."
Chen Lang's words made the two of them prick up their ears.
Chen Lang said: "tarpaulin."
"Tarpa?"
Gwen was stunned for a moment, then opened her backpack in surprise.
Tarpaulin is one of the standard items provided by the program team.
All four players have it.
But not many people use tarpaulins.
Chen Lang set up the shelter in a cave, except for the day when the storm came, and a tarpaulin was used.
Other times when it rains, just stand the bamboo rafts up.
The campfire will not get wet.
Gwen's tarp has never been taken out, and it's still new.
Allen's tarp does show signs of use.
But once rinsed with water, it's almost as good as new.
Lehman's tarpaulin came in handy.
His shelter uses a tarpaulin as a ceiling and a thick layer of fallen leaves.
"Three tarps are enough."
Chen Lang gestured with his hands: "We can make a wooden frame without worrying about leakage."
"After the frame is made, lay the tarp in the frame."
“It saves effort and can hold a lot of water.”
"But the quality requirements for the tarpaulin are relatively high. If the tarpaulin breaks, the water will be gone."
"What do you think?"
All three methods have obvious advantages and disadvantages.
Gwen's method doesn't take much effort.
But the quality of the wooden barrels produced is definitely not as good as Lehman's.
Lehman's wooden barrels are the strongest, but they also require the most energy.
Chen Lang's method is more like a variation of wooden barrel.
