Survival From The Wilderness: Mission Master

Chapter 407 New Hope

After some analysis, the five people in the room fell into a brief silence.

They have just arrived on the island for a few days, and they are not ready to welcome new people of the same kind, let alone they are not from the same era, perhaps they do not speak the same language.

Humans from the nineteenth century, unknown identities and unknown numbers, all this makes this small group of five people a little bit at a loss as to what to do.

But the silence was short. Soon, the professor said: "In any case, we must take these materials away. This is impossible to change."

"As for the other group of people, if it is not surprising, after these people go ashore, they will first want to find their boats and retrieve these supplies. They should be looking for them along the coastline. If so, then they will. There are three results. First of all, for us, we must move the supplies on this ship as soon as possible, and not allow another group of people to get on board first.

Second, if they find here, they will definitely find traces of human activity, so they will also know that we exist. Third, most of them who walk along the coast will not go deep into the island, unless they are far away from us, in which case we don't have to worry about it. And if they don’t go deep inside, then our camp doesn’t have to worry about being discovered, which is good news for us. "

"So I think our next primary goal is to move the supplies on this ship, and at the same time, we must be vigilant and pay attention to the appearance of another group of people at any time." Having said this, the professor thought for a while and added: "But you don't need too much. If you are too nervous, judging from the storm last night, these people are more likely to sink the ship if they take a lifeboat. If they are too nervous because of these people who have not yet appeared, the gain will not be worth the loss. What's more, the position of these people is still undecided, everyone is. Human beings have a high probability of choosing cooperation."

After the professor finished speaking, Annie also nodded and said: "Next, we will try our best to move together. In any case, we are the first comers and are more familiar with the topography of the island. And judging from the size of the ship, at most There are only five or six people, and we have to consider the damage in the process of docking. As long as we are not scattered, such a number of people will hardly threaten us.

Of course, Annie had reservations when she said this. After all, she is the only one of the five people on her side who can be considered as fighting power, and the fat man barely counts as half. If the opponent is all well-trained seamen, it is undoubtedly still dangerous.

But at this time, the fat man looked at everyone cautiously, and then cautiously said: "Everyone has said so much, but I have a separate opinion.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Fatty's body.

The fat man cleared his throat and said, "According to the professor you just said, this ship is very new and has very few water inlets. In fact, we have just seen so many places, that is, there is a small hole in the bottom of the ship. Does this mean that the ship is actually repairable and still usable."

Fatty's words are like opening the door to a new world for everyone.

What did the five of them settle here for? The ultimate goal is not to find a radio and finally leave the island. This boat is not a small raft before, and the safety of navigation is greatly improved. It is probably not a problem to go to another island. You can even consider taking this boat to leave this sea and return to the real world!

Thinking of this, several people immediately became excited, and the professor immediately said: "Let's go to the deck to see if there is any other damage.

After a trot all the way, the five people came to the deck through the stairs.As the fat man said, the deck was almost undamaged, only one of the masts was seriously damaged, but in the eyes of everyone at this time, it is not a problem!

However, the excitement did not last long. Standing on the deck, Annie suddenly said: "In fact, such a brig needs several experienced seafarers to drive. I think we are here, except for me. Apart from knowledge, you have no idea about how to navigate this kind of ship.

Annie’s words were like a basin of cold water splashing on everyone’s faces, but Annie didn’t mean to stop. The entrance of the cave will also take several days to repair. Before that, not to mention the risk of being discovered by another group of people. What is more imminent is that the next high tide will be a few hours later. If before that, the ship If it is still stranded on the beach like this, it will be submerged first, and then it is more likely to be carried to the bottom of the sea by the sea at low tide."

"In other words, if you want to make repairs, the first thing to do is to tow the ship to the shore within a few hours. I think this should not be an easy task." After that, Annie used her consistently. He looked at a few people with calm eyes, as if waiting for everyone's reply.

The professor sighed helplessly and said, "Anne is still as calm as ever. Indeed, these issues must be considered.

Then, the professor began to think about the question raised by Annie, how to move the ship to shore in a short time.

"We can consider using pulleys, and then put logs on the bottom of the boat to drag the boat up..."

"It can't be 630, not to mention that roller skating is difficult to build, and wood of sufficient thickness is difficult to cut down, and there is no way to put it in the bottom of the boat. The reef at the bow also blocks the way of the boat."

Then, the professor considered several options, but without exception, as long as it involves moving the 20-meter boat with the power of five people and passing through the reef-lined area during the period, this thing is completely impossible.

After thinking about it for a long time, when he found that this road seemed to be unworkable, the professor suddenly flashed his inspiration and thought of another method, and then said with some excitement: "We may not need to move the boat to the shore, as long as the boat is not caught when the tide is high. It's not enough to wash away. All the boats that dock are in the sea, and I haven't seen them being swept away by the tide."

Several other people who were thinking hard were also awakened all of a sudden, showing a dazed expression.

The fat man immediately ran to the side of the ship, jumped out of the ship’s side and looked at it for a while, and then said loudly: "There is something wrong here, it can still be used. There are still many ropes hanging here."

The professor made a fist, and then said: "Put the cat down, and then fasten the boat to the shore with a rope. The hole in the bottom of the boat should not be left alone, otherwise the cargo inside will suffer. At least a simple repair is required!"
