Chapter 223 My only opponent is myself
the next day.
When Bifang woke up, he felt an unprecedented headache.
It was not a severe pain, but a continuous pain, like the erosion of ocean waves. It was as if my brain had been churned in a washing machine for three days and three nights, and my brain had been turned into pulp. I could hear the pulp sloshing when I moved.
In addition to the headache, my stomach also felt uncomfortable and the stomach acid burned the stomach wall.
Bifang didn't get anything yesterday, but the severe headache did ease his desire to eat. In short, he just couldn't eat.
If you really eat something, you will probably have to vomit it out.
For survivors at sea, the biggest danger is not wearing clothes and severe dehydration, and seasickness will make the dehydration worse.
When the program crew saw that the host had woken up, they quickly turned on the drone and started the next day's live broadcast.
The Discovery Channel also interrupted the documentary it was playing and connected to the live broadcast, with the narration once again introducing the current situation.
"Today is the second day of the live broadcast, and so far, our protagonist has not eaten for more than 24 hours. In this vast ocean, with only a life raft, where will he go next?"
There wasn't much conversation in the live broadcast room. After saying hello, there was a bunch of stupid comments.
[Good morning, Fang Shen! ]
【Can I catch anything good today? 】
[I don't think it's possible. This time he will probably really go hungry. I remember Fang Shen went hungry for two days at most. Is he going to break the record this time?]
[Nine meals in three days without food? I think it’s OK]
[Congratulations to Fang Shen for unlocking a new achievement, nine meals in three days! ]
Bifang, who had just woken up, was still a little confused. After seeing the comments, he waved his hands in disdain: "Go away, it's only the second day and you're already cursing me. How can you go hungry for nine meals in three days?"
The audience burst into laughter. As a host, Bifang always appears friendly, which is one of the reasons why he can quickly attract the audience.
After laughing, Bifang took off an inner lining and removed the stitches.
The only items Bifang can use now are the life raft and the clothes on his body. He wants to use the clothes to make a rope and make it into fishing line.
"If you are really trapped, you can keep a sailing diary if you have the conditions. This will help you calm down and understand the surrounding situation. We can write down the names of the survivors, the location of the accident, the date and time, the weather conditions, and the salvaged items, and make a table to help you sort out your thoughts."
"In a cold ocean like mine, if there are many victims, everyone can huddle together to maintain body temperature, prevent muscle or joint stiffness, and maintain blood circulation. Exercise moderately, but be careful not to do violent or sudden movements to avoid losing balance of the raft or boat."
"If the weather is hot, you can take off extra clothes, but be sure to block out the sun to avoid heat stroke and sunburn. You can also make simple protective glasses to avoid being hurt by strong light."
"If it's really too hot, we can soak our clothes in water to help cool down, but be careful not to catch a cold at night."
"If necessary, you can also immerse your lower body in seawater to reduce water loss. Remember to fasten your seat belt. In addition, keeping your body in water for too long can easily cause skin ulcers."
"In the tropics, one thing you have to pay attention to is that when the temperature is too high, you have to let some of the air out of the raft because air expands when heated - we just need to loosen the valve and inflate it again at night."
Bifang pointed to a valve on the life raft, and in his hand, a rope more than three meters long had been twisted.
He pulled the zipper of his coat to the top, broke the buckle with force, tied it up with thread, and gently pried open the two broken iron rings to make a recurved fishhook shape.
Bifang was very careful in this step, because the buckles of clothes were not very resilient and could be easily broken. Fortunately, he succeeded in one go.
After doing all this, he continued to explain: "I used the deduction as a fishhook, and also because..."
Before Bifang could give the answer, some netizens had already given it.
【Many fish like reflective things! 】
【Wuhu, I remember this! 】
[The buckle can reflect light! 】
"Yes, that's right. Although the buttons don't reflect light very strongly, this is all I have."
One end of the pull buckle is a smooth surface, which can reflect light well under the sunlight or moonlight. So even though there is no bait, if you are lucky, you can still attract some small fish.
Bifang tied the other end of the rope to the fixed lock rope of the life raft, and then dragged the lock out of the life raft, allowing the fishing line to move and flash along with the drift of the life raft.
[Yoyoyo, you don’t even want the bait? 】
【Jiang Taigong fishing for sea fish? 】
[Does it feel like there is little hope? ]
[Why don't you hold it in your hand? If the fish moves, you will know immediately, right? ]
“You must never hold it in your hands.”
Bifang shook his head. It was very dangerous to do this while riding on an inflatable life raft.
"Do not manipulate the fishing line with your bare hands, wrap the line around your hands or simply tie it to an inflatable raft."
"After being soaked in seawater, the line will precipitate salt on the main line, and the salt accumulated on the line is very abrasive, which is dangerous to hands and rubber rafts. So I put the lock rope that ties the fishing line into the sea instead of leaning it against the raft."
There are buckles on life rafts to secure the victims, but the buckles on this life raft were cut off, leaving only a small section of locking rope.
Bifang is to tie the fishing line and the locking rope together, tie the two together, and then hang it into the sea after ensuring that it is safe.
What follows is a long wait, but Bifang is still quite optimistic.
"If it doesn't work today, there's still tomorrow. If it doesn't work tomorrow, there's still the day after tomorrow. With my physique, it won't be a big problem to go hungry for three days."
"Besides, our chances of catching fish are still quite high. Not only do many fish like shiny things, but also because we are on a life raft, to avoid sunlight, some fish and turtles are often attracted by the shade of the rubber raft or life raft and swim to the bottom of the boat to rest ."
"So if there is a net, we can also hang it on both ends of the keel of the boat, and two people are needed to hold it firmly at both ends."
After explaining, Bifang unzipped the life raft to let in the fresh sea breeze.
He wasn't thirsty yet, but he hoped to get some fresh air to relieve his headache.
Perhaps there was nothing interesting about the rafting process, and after a whole morning, the number of people in the live broadcast room had not increased.
From over 2 million viewers at the beginning of the show, it has fallen back now. There are only about 1.2 million viewers still watching steadily, which is a bit shabby.
This includes nearly 500,000 domestic viewers, and the rest are foreign viewers.
It may not sound like much, but it is a statistic that no other anchor can match.
Take the most popular shark brother Ribao for example. It is very common if the real number of viewers for each live broadcast exceeds 300,000. The so-called 20 million viewers are basically data released by the platform, which is not credible, or even non-existent.
Just think about it and you will know it is impossible.
Moreover, saying that it is shabby is compared with Bifang's previous "record". In the past, he would reach a higher level every time he broadcast live, and he kept going up. Unless it was a live broadcast of a grand event, no one could beat him in terms of personal live broadcast.
Bifang's only opponent has always been himself.
