Chapter 1027
Zhou Shuwan frowned and said nothing.
Qi Mingyu's proposal is obviously very risky, and they will encounter many dangers along the way.
Not to mention anything else, just the ice rain and tsunami are enough to cause them a catastrophe!
Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun also said that this method is too risky!
They have been in the deep sea area for nearly two months. How could they possibly get out of this area just by rowing!
Qi Mingyu also nodded: "I know this method is too risky, but so far, we don't have a better way!"
Instead of being trapped here, it is better to take the initiative.
Finally, Zhou Shuwan said, "Let's wait a few more days and see what happens."
At least we should see how their fresh water collection is!
They waited for 24 hours and then went to see the water collection device.
The plastic sheet gleamed in the sunlight, and the cotton cloth hanging from the edge hung heavily.
Zhong Tiyun stretched out her hand and pinched it first. Her fingertips immediately felt wet and cool. Her eyes lit up: "It's wet! It really holds water!"
Zhou Shuwan walked quickly forward and carefully untied the hemp rope that secured the plastic bottle.
As soon as the bottle mouth left the bucket mouth, a string of crystal clear water droplets slid down the bottle wall into the bucket, making a soft "tick, tick" sound.
She looked into the bucket and saw a shallow layer of clear water at the bottom, about two liters.
The surface of the water in the bucket was calm, without any of the turbid saltiness of the seawater collected before.
Zhong Tiyun dipped her fingertips in some water and gently sipped it into her mouth. The next second, the corners of her tense mouth finally relaxed, and she nodded vigorously at everyone: "Not salty! Not salty! Just a slight astringency, totally drinkable!"
This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly igniting everyone's emotions.
A long-lost smile appeared on Zhou Jianghai's dark face: "I didn't expect this rag bag to be so useful!"
"Don't worry, we need to observe for a few more days to see how efficient the collection is every day!"
"Yes, we still have to take a look!"
If the collection efficiency on the second day was not so good, they would be in dire straits again.
But if they can ensure that two liters of water are collected every day, then their daily food and drink needs can be met.
Although there was still a chance of something happening, the heaviness on everyone's faces was now much lighter.
Because everyone was in a good mood, Zhong Tiyun made rice porridge for everyone this morning.
For them, who had been eating smoked fish and potatoes for several days in a row, rice porridge was a rare delicacy.
Rice porridge with kelp shreds is quite delicious.
Five people sat around the small table, holding bowls of warm porridge, and even their breathing became lighter.
Zhou Shuwan sipped his porridge and looked at Qi Mingyu: "Now that the fresh water problem has been temporarily solved, we can put off the boating a little longer."
"Right. Let's take a look first." Qi Mingyu frowned. "I'm thinking, should I dive to the bottom of the sea again to see if I can find more containers? If I can find more supplies, we won't be so helpless like we are now!"
"Diving into the sea is too dangerous. We were lucky that we didn't encounter anything more dangerous last time." Zhou Shuwan frowned, feeling very worried.
Zhong Tiyun also hurriedly said, "Xiao Yu, don't be so anxious. Mu Mu and I will sort out the old canvas bags in the warehouse this morning and cut out a few more pieces of filter cloth. Then we can build another water collection device, which will collect more water."
"Okay, that's fine!"
They collected water for three days and determined that they collected about 1-2 liters of water every day, which was enough to last them for a while as long as they used it sparingly.
Qi Mingyu then brought up the matter of him diving into the seabed to look for the container.
There was no way for anyone to object anymore.
Because Zhou Shuwan's headache symptoms have not improved and Mu Mu's forehead is also injured, only Qi Mingyu can go to the beach.
Zhou Shuwan stood there and watched him put on the diving suit.
