Chapter 222 Nothing

One hundred and thirty-three days.

That is, one-third of a year, more than four months, and one semester, which sounds like nothing. But what if it were to survive drifting at sea?

One hundred and thirty-three days at sea.

This is a statistic that sounds incredible to anyone, and it was created by the Chinese.

"His name is Pan Lian. He is an ordinary but extraordinary Chinese man. He was hailed as the 'World Survival Champion' by National Geographic Magazine."

What Bi Fang is talking about is a real incident.

In fact, apart from some differences in cultural products, most of this world's history is no different from the previous world, and even the people are the same.

When World War II broke out, Britain recruited a large number of Chinese sailors, including Pan Lian.

Four years later, Pan Lian was transporting wartime supplies on the Atlantic Ocean and was discovered by a German submarine. The submarine fired two torpedoes at the merchant ship.

Everyone can guess what happened next. When the second torpedo hit the merchant ship again, the ship sank rapidly, creating a strong suction force that pulled it to the bottom of the sea.

In panic, Pan Lian grabbed a piece of wood and floated out of the sea.

When he drifted aimlessly on the sea for 2 hours and was about to despair, a miracle happened.

A life raft on the merchant ship was not damaged by the explosion and floated over.

The life raft is a square raft with masts at the four corners and metal boxes in the isolation rooms on both sides of the raft.

The metal box contains various cans and food, 40 liters of fresh water, sugar, condensed milk, etc., as well as several flares and flashlights.

"Although many cargo ships were equipped with such life rafts at that time, only Pan Lian survived for a long time. Because drifting on the sea is not easy, it is a test of wisdom and perseverance."

The audience was astonished. This kind of tension in life was simply exaggerated and unimaginable.

After that, the situation of Pan Lian and Bifang was not bad. However, although he was also shipwrecked in the Atlantic Ocean, he was at a lower latitude and could not enter the water like Bifang. However, the high temperature also meant that Pan Lian needed more fresh water.

"He used the roof to collect rainwater and tied ropes to keep track of the day. He had a strong desire to survive. He also used the springs in the flashlights to make fish hooks and twisted the cables into thin fishing lines. He used the soft parts of shellfish attached to the raft as bait... and even used them as bait...

Make a crude knife out of an iron can."

【Damn, that’s awesome!】

【Who says Chinese people cannot challenge the limits of mankind? 】

[Actually, I think Fang Shen has always been challenging the limits. I haven’t seen anyone more awesome than him until now!]

[Yes! Fang Shen is number one in the world! 】

[Who says Chinese people can’t challenge their limits? Isn’t Fang Shen the limit? Wherever he is, that’s the peak! 】

The audience was very emotional. Yes, who said that Chinese people can't challenge the limits of mankind?

Fang Shen is already there, and his position is the pinnacle of mankind!

If there is a peak, then he is the peak, and everyone can only chase the back!

"No, you can't say that."

Bi Fang himself was a little embarrassed by the praise from netizens. There are still many talented people in the world, and there are countless strange people and strange things, but he just has no chance to stand in front of the public.

It's better to keep a low profile. Although I have a system, it's only been half a year. It's too exaggerated to say I'm No. 1 in the world now. It'll be a few years, a few years.

At least now Bi Fang feels that there is still a certain gap between himself and Pan Lian. This gap is not about skills and experience, but about willpower.

In the later stage of his survival, Pan Lian suffered from long-term seawater corrosion, lack of fresh water for bathing, and lack of vitamins in vegetables. The skin of his limbs developed abscesses, ulcers, and joint edema.

His only belief is: survive.

Sometimes when he was in pain of hunger and thirst, he would squeeze his swollen muscles hard to prevent himself from falling asleep, otherwise he would be in a long sleep.

During World War II, many crew members relied on life rafts to escape, but after two or three months they lost their desire to survive, and finally became desperate, crazy, and gave up on survival.

Bi Fang didn't know if he could have such a strong will even if he was in such a desperate situation, but this did not prevent him from expressing his admiration.

"It is worth mentioning that one time a merchant ship sailed by, and Pan Lian sent off a flare. The merchant ship noticed it and drove over, but when he could almost see the faces on the deck, the ship drove away."

When talking about this, Bi Fang's tone changed slightly: "The reason is that he is Chinese."

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was a bit dull, even foreign netizens were silent, and some even felt guilty.

Everyone understands the history of that period of time, and you can understand this kind of thing without talking about it, but everything is getting better.

Anyone who dares to underestimate this country with a history of 5,000 years will surely pay the price in blood!

"But the ending was good. In the end, Pan Lian was rescued by fishermen and lived until he died at the age of 73."

The audience couldn't help but nodded, but soon, someone else realized a new problem.

Bi Fang's current situation seems to be even worse!

[At least that person still has food and fresh water, and can make fishing lines and fishhooks, but Fang Shen really doesn’t have anything, and can this life raft attach shellfish? 】

The audience who saw this barrage was stunned. Indeed, Fang Shen's current situation seems to be more difficult. He has containers and materials, but Lao Fang has nothing but his hands.

Fishing? What to use?

If you can't catch fish, where will the food resources come from?

"Don't be anxious. Even if a healthy adult doesn't eat for a day or two, his basic mobility will not be affected too much. We have enough time to prepare."

"Although it is very cold here, geographically it still belongs to the warm temperate zone, and the types and quantities of organisms are extremely rich."

But looking at the vast sea, the audience just felt that Bi Fang was trying to comfort everyone. They racked their brains and couldn't figure out how to get food.

night.

Bi Fang had already put on his clothes, and he felt much better now that he had them.

After drinking the collected water drops again, he wiped his mouth and said: "Many people think that when there is a lack of water, water should be distributed like food, and use as little as possible unless it is absolutely necessary, but this is actually

A common misunderstanding, don’t do this.”

"The negative effects of this water-saving method often far outweigh the positive effects. In many cases, dehydration can knock people down very quickly, too fast for people to notice. This is a very dangerous situation."

"When dehydrated, it is easy to faint without any warning. Many real cases illustrate this point. People who die due to dehydration often have a whole bottle of water next to them. Therefore, even when the amount of water is limited,

Don’t be too precious about water use.”

"If the weather is not hot, you should drink 400 ml of water every day when you are trapped for 2 to 4 days. On the fifth day, after your body adapts to the dehydration state, the amount can be reduced again, but it should be between 60 and 250 ml.

It depends on the weather and the amount of water, it can never be less than this value!"

After drinking the last bit of water, Bi Fang did not soak the towel again, but put it behind his head, preparing to rest for the night.

The sea breeze outside the tent was much lighter, and the life raft was no longer as bumpy as before, which made Bifang feel much better.

I hope I can be lucky enough to find some food tomorrow.

Recalling several methods in his mind, Bi Fang closed his eyes.

He doesn't really want to use extreme methods if it's not necessary.

The first day of drifting at sea was fruitless.
Chapter completed!
