Chapter 556

The war entered a difficult eighth day.

On the isolated island, it has become a shocking and frightening sight.

Both hostile sides were only ready for three days of fighting. Who ever thought that once the war started, the war would be like a wild beast out of its cage, which was no longer under control, even if they wanted to stop.

In this way, the two world-class powers with strong national strength and military strength can not be underestimated have sent their most elite special forces to fight for more than a week on this small isolated island hanging overseas and almost isolated from the world.

Although both hostile sides have run out of ammunition and food, no one can do anything to defeat anyone, and no one can defeat anyone. Even when there is no backup supply, both sides continue to hold on to each other and fight with each other by making use of what they have learned and the tenacious will of the special forces to die rather than surrender

Fierce battle, either you die or I die

However, if the opposing sides just fight for strength and consumption, it will not matter. After all, this isolated island hanging overseas is rich in products. There are large and small wild animals on the island, and there are a lot of small fish and shrimp in the water. If you are lucky, you can find some unknown small fruits in the trees and so on.

In addition, as long as the water is good and dare to take risks, it's not difficult to catch some seafood to supplement energy in the surrounding stormy sea water.

In short, hunger can be solved by self-sufficiency.

Anyway, special forces are sometimes similar to savages. Anyway, as long as they can eat and supplement energy, they really grasp what to eat, never ask how it tastes, whether it carries some germs when eaten raw, or whether it will be any state protected animals when eaten in their mouth, etc.

Someone once joked that the stomach of special forces is made of high-tech special materials. What they eat and consume is never left, and they can maintain health and combat effectiveness.

Anyway, as long as you can eat, except for planes flying in the sky, tanks running on the ground, warships and submarines swimming in the water, all other life bodies and carbohydrates can be eaten as long as they can supplement energy.

As for nutrients, hey, who cares what those boring things do! Just open your mouth and eat.

However, since the seals threw poison at the only water source on the island, resulting in the serious pollution of the original single water source system of the whole island, earth shaking changes have taken place on the island.

Relatively speaking, nature's resistance and self-cleaning ability are still relatively strong.

But that's where the score is.

If it is in the vast and dense virgin forest or the boundless sea, let alone just put some poison. To exaggerate, even dropping a few nuclear bombs can not stir up many ripples. The original ecosystem is difficult to be greatly affected.

Before long, everything will be as usual again.

However, if we destroy the vegetation of the small oasis and the precious small water source in the boundless desert, it will be subversive and destructive to the ecosystem of the whole oasis. This is by no means exaggerated or sensational.

Similarly, at this time, the seal poisoned the only water source on the island, resulting in a series of terrible chain reactions in the ecosystem on the whole island

First of all, fish, shrimp and other aquatic animals that live in the water source die immediately. Then, seabirds and other animals living on fish and shrimp died in a large area. Then, on the whole island, all animals, plants and even some fungi relying on fresh water died collectively

Even the animals lucky not to be poisoned, seeing this situation, also face the sea one after another and have a life and death escape. Even the animals who can't fly or water also join them one after another and would rather die than stay.

A terrible scene happened.

Because there are also human beings living on fresh water, as well as the exhausted special forces who have fought with the enemy for more than a week

Special forces are also human after all. Although they have tenacious vitality and firm willpower, although they can carry it, and although they can bear it, once they leave the water source for a long time, they will also die. There is no other possibility.

Therefore, when the elite of this team of Chinese special forces found that the enemy had dropped highly toxic into the only water source, Cheng Chong, as the formation leader, first had to solve the severe problem of the survival of the team members, and more specifically, the problem of water source and fresh water that can be drunk directly.

In the wild, don't underestimate the small water source problem without backup supply.

The terror of water shortage and the pressure and panic brought to mankind sometimes go far beyond ordinary people's imagination. As long as people have been thirsty for a long time, they will leave a very profound horror memory, like a nightmare, which can't be dissipated for a lifetime.

This is why, after learning that the water source was polluted and irreversible in a short time, Cheng Chong decisively led all the team members and quickly approached the beach.

Obviously, they go to the seaside, and they still go to the seaside to the north of the island. It's not that they want to take the opportunity to leave the island. In fact, all the ships around the island, including combat ships, whether their own or the enemy, have been blown up in the fierce gunfire. At this time, even if they want to leave, it is very unrealistic.

What's more, the enemy on the isolated island has not been solved, and the military task has not been completed. In any case, they can't leave the battlefield and become deserters.

Even if they were collectively killed on this isolated island, they would never do so.

Why go to the beach?

The reason is very simple - find water and fresh water that can be drunk directly. They must survive first before they can continue to fight with the enemy until they win the final victory

However, how can they find fresh water that can be drunk directly?

To be honest, at this time, although they were on an isolated island and in the vast sea, they were surrounded by boundless sea water, but the fatal thing was that these water could only be seen and could not be drunk

At least you can't drink it directly.

The high salt content of seawater is well known all over the world. If you drink seawater directly to quench your thirst, you will only drink more and more thirsty, accelerate the dehydration of body cells and accelerate death.

To a large extent, this is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, and it can not quench thirst.

In that case, what did Cheng Chong lead the team members to the beach for?

Looking for your own death? Of course not.

In a word, this may be just a simple physical problem.

The reason why the salt content of seawater is high is that the fresh water of rivers will not flow to other places after being injected into the ocean. It is the end. But water is not. It will evaporate a lot because of factors such as sunlight, temperature and sea breeze. The minerals contained in fresh water can not evaporate, so they can only stay in the sea.

Over time, the concentration of seawater naturally becomes higher and higher, and the salt content naturally becomes larger and larger.

However, one thing is certain, that is, the large-scale evaporation of sea water is eternal, continuous and non-stop.

Those who have studied physics in junior high school know that water vapor will condense into water when it is suddenly precooled, which has become the so-called distilled water and the so-called purified water.

It is gratifying that although drinking distilled water for a long time will be harmful to people's health, it can be drunk after all. More importantly, it can quench thirst. What is more important than drinking fresh water on an isolated island with serious water shortage?

As for other problems, it doesn't matter at all. Anyway, the stomach of special forces is made of iron. Such adverse factors are not worth mentioning at all.

The reason why the team members were brought to the north of the isolated island is that their own rear area, that is, their huge aircraft carrier battle group is in the north. It will be faster, more direct and more at heart.

More importantly, it is still convenient to get water.

Geographically, the island still belongs to the northern hemisphere, which means that the sunlight from the equator still has a certain angle for the island. Relatively speaking, the south is directly irradiated, while there will be some shade in the north, especially on the abrupt rocks.

A large amount of water vapor on the sea surface, with the blowing and entrainment of the sea breeze, will naturally condense into water after suddenly encountering cold rocks, and then flow down slowly due to the gravity of the earth.

This is why, whether on the mountain or on the sea, all the rocks exposed in the shade are often wet, as if they would never dry.

In the south of the island, there are several large rocks that stand out suddenly, are in the shade, and are wet all the year round.

Special forces are experts in field survival. It is not difficult to collect these trace distilled water.

Under the leadership of Cheng Chong, the team members took off their close fitting vests, socks and other thin braids and clung to the wet rocks. The upper part is opened to expand the area as much as possible, while the lower part is deliberately reduced, and the lowest part is reduced to a point. In this way, the distilled water drained by the woven fabric finally converges to a point, and it will drip down due to the action of gravity.

Then, under the tick of distilled water, prevent a kettle or helmet. Then, the simple distilled water collection system is finished.
