Chapter 1647 Islands and Ships

Most of the survivors built a temporary shelter near the coast, which was mostly in a stable triangle shape, covered with broad leaves on top and matted with dried grass underneath, barely enough for them to live.

The initial food was mostly obtained from the shallower beaches.

There are many edible foods in the shallow sea, such as shells and crabs, which can meet the initial food needs and also replenish salt.

But this is only for a short time. Once they live on the island for a long time, they will inevitably not be able to bear the long-term consumption of seafood, and they will need to go deep into the island sooner or later.

In fact, as of now, they have not fully adapted and dare not go deep into the island.

As for the problem of the fire, it is even easier.

Although there are often strong winds and rainstorms here, there are also many times when the sun is exposed. The temperature at noon can even reach above 40℃. Most people can only hide to avoid high temperature causing damage to their bodies.

Under such high temperatures, the wood and dry grass wet by the rain will be quickly dried, which is extremely suitable for burning.

Many survivors are very smart. They pick some fluff directly from the coconut trees, put them in the sun to dry, and then use the lenses of glasses or the mirror formed by water to focus the sunlight for ignition.

Most of the time, it only takes a few dozen minutes for the high temperature of the sun to ignite the hay, thus providing a stable fire source.

Of course, only some people do not have glasses and have no way to use water, so they can only think of other ways to make fire.

For example, finding flint to make fire and drilling wood to make fire, these ancient ways of making fire are very difficult, and it takes a long time to try and consume a lot of physical strength to succeed.

There are also some extremely lucky people who just happened to encounter thunderstorms. A thunderbolt struck a big tree and directly obtained a fire source.

It took about three or four days. Most people have met their basic living needs and began to build shelters around the environment on the beach to survive.

When a survivor meets the four conditions of food, water, shelter, and fire, it means that they have completed the first stage of survival. Qi Yuan will directly give them rewards and give them tasks for the next stage.

The rewards are usually tools, which they can choose by themselves, such as axes, pickaxes, fishing rods...

The next stage of the task is to explore the island in depth and build a long-term shelter.

It is impossible for them to live on the periphery of the island for a long time. There are other inconveniences here. The food is only seafood and coconuts. They have to face the harsh environment on the coast every day, and there is no potential for development.

So the next task is to go deep into the island, really understand the island they are on, and use the resources on the island to survive for a long time.

In the process of exploration, they can find some food that they have not found before, and they will also find some wild animals, or find a place suitable for long-term shelter.

Any discovery can help them survive on this island for a long time.

The task that Qi Yuan gave them was to achieve 80% control and understanding of the island, which means the task is completed.

It may sound difficult, but in fact this task is very easy.

Because there are not too many dangers on the island, and the area is not large, it is even less likely to have jackals, tigers and leopards. As long as you are diligent and turn around twice more, you can easily complete it.

However, for safety reasons, most people choose to take it slow, first go deep to find a place suitable for building a long-term shelter, and then start exploring the surrounding area after finding a stable residence and food.

Most people spend about ten days to complete the second task.

At this time, they have enough understanding of the island, or have complete control over it.

The reward Qi Yuan sent them was a small boat.

After completing the two "novice tasks", their civilization guidance this time officially began.

Almost all the islands where the survivors are located have a diameter of only 2km at most, which can be said to be very small. There are not many crops growing, and the number of animals is surprisingly small.

If you only rely on this small island to survive, it is almost impossible, and you will definitely starve to death on it.

So if you want to survive for a long time, you need to explore other larger islands to find food and resources needed for life.

At this time, they can drive the small boat rewarded by Qi Yuan to other islands to collect more precious resources and props.

He randomly placed food, water, tools, weapons, props on the surrounding islands...

These also included some extraordinary items, such as space backpacks, high-quality ships, island expansion scrolls, resource scrolls... and so on.

When survivors come to other large islands, they can obtain these precious props, which greatly improves their survival ability.

The first batch of people who get these props are ahead of everyone else.

And after realizing these benefits, they began to collect resources from the islands without stopping, eating oil and becoming the earliest batch of survivors who developed rapidly.

Other survivors realized it later and gradually began to explore and find these precious props.

It was at this time that competition and plunder officially began, and the development of civilization also took a big step forward.

Survivors began to compete with each other, killing each other, and fighting for treasures.

Due to such competition and killing, their development speed increased rapidly. The winners obtained all the wealth of the losers and even robbed the other party's ships. It can be said that they became rich overnight.

At this time, they faced two choices.

They could develop around the islands with the islands as the core, continuously expand the area of ​​the islands, increase the resources on the islands, and develop peacefully.

This is the first one that Qi Yuan arranged for them. The development of the islands is their own development. The islands are similar to the continents they cultivated. They can grow infinitely and the resources can continue to increase.

And they are similar to lords, and the islands are their territories.

The second one is that they can develop around the ships with the ships as the core, improve the quality of the ships, and live in the sea for a long time in the future.

The system they follow is completely different from the development of islands. They mainly develop ships, improve the speed and strength of ships, etc., and mainly rely on plunder to survive.

Moreover, they will pay more attention to the improvement of their own strength, because there are a large number of marine organisms in the ocean, and the flesh and blood of these marine organisms can greatly improve physical fitness after eating.

So they don't need to grow crops, and can completely rely on these marine organisms as food.
