Section 570

The wind cannot hold back.

The rain never stops.

It took a whole day of scraping.

Soon, the time came to evening.

At this time, the violent storm that had been building up for a long time finally erupted in a sustained manner!

In order for the tile house to survive this powerful storm.

Lu Yu no longer sat still and waited for death.

Braving the wind and rain, I went out, collected all the wood that could be used in the storage room, and carried it into the house.

Prepare to add stakes to the eight load-bearing beams in the house.

"As expected, strong winds will make landfall tonight."

"Without a backup shelter, we have to do more work here."

"Now, a piece of good news and a piece of bad news..."

After gathering the usable wood into a pile, Lu Yu untied all the bark ropes around his waist and continued:

"The good news is that my tile house has withstood the test. Although it was on the verge of destruction, it bought me a lot of time. Facts have proved that in the harsh wilderness, if you can have such a house, you can definitely protect yourself. ”

"As for the bad news..."

Pick up a wooden stick and stand it in front of you.

Lu Yu sharpened one end of it with a stone ax and said to the camera:

"If the winds continue to increase, this house won't last long."

"In addition, as rainfall continues to increase, there is another hidden danger that requires more attention, that is, flash floods may break out at any time..."

"I actually considered this issue when I chose the camp. Our camp is the highest on the entire west coast. If it is just a local level three flood peak, it will not pose much of a threat to us. But if there is a big The large-scale peak flow requires more attention. "

Super heavy rainfall will put huge pressure on the rivers on the island.

If the river channel cannot accommodate more runoff, flash floods will naturally occur and eventually break out completely.

By then, let alone the entire West Coast.

Much of the interior of the island, except for the Twin Mountains on the north shore, is likely to be flooded.

After nearly two months of investigation by Lu Yu, he found that the frequency of flash floods in Oulidia was very high.

Traces of flash floods from the previous rainy season can be seen in many places.

For example, the river in the water source area, the inner wall of the underground canal, the soil quality and plant growth pattern near the runoff, etc.

These details may seem like nothing.

But we really have to dig deeper.

The information revealed will definitely be a wake-up call for survivors.

It is precisely for this reason that when choosing a camp earlier, Lu Yu would seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and built the camp in a relatively high open space on the west coast far away from water sources and seaside.

But the problem is, this is not a one-and-done approach.

A suitable campsite can only avoid the approach of danger to a certain extent.

If we encounter an irresistible disaster, we cannot sit back and relax completely.

soon.

After sharpening the eight wooden sticks in turn, Lu Yu inserted them into the ground next to the main beam and fixed them with ropes.

The reason for doing this is to share the weight of the main beam.

Reduce the force of wind.

Even if it collapses, it will not be uprooted.

Immediately afterwards.

After fixing the main beam, Lu Yu selected some suitable wood and made some work on the keel and roof.

The stress point of the keel is on the main beam.

To protect the roof, in addition to sharing the pressure of the main beam.

The best way is to give it more reasonable support points.

"Reasonable support points can allow stress and strain to form a linear relationship."

"This relationship is actually the well-known Hooke's law. Hooke's law is one of the basic laws of material mechanics and elasticity. It is an elastic law applicable to all solid materials. It means that within the elastic limit, the deformation of an object depends on the Proportional to the external force causing deformation.”

"Yes, the deformation of an object is directly proportional to the external force causing the deformation..."

Ask for leave

Something has delayed me, so I’ll give it another day.

Chapter 417 Lonely cold rainy night, mission accomplished!

Understand this principle.

As long as several adjacent points on the roof that are positively related to the wind direction are fixed, the collapse of the house can be avoided to a certain extent.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yu was talking and doing.

After fixing several important points, all the remaining bark ropes were taken out:

“Polynesians are great at fighting typhoons.”

"The reason why the palm tree house they lived in was still intact during the typhoon was due to the good application of Hooke's law and the Pythagorean theorem. Many times, wooden houses that look very fragile from the outside are very fragile inside. Sturdy. It can stand firm even in high-level winds.”

"This is their survival experience accumulated over thousands of years. If one day you encounter the same thing as me while surviving in the wild, please do as I say. This will definitely save your life."

While talking.

Lu Yu had already stepped onto the triangular ladder.

I chose a few thicker bark ropes.

And tied one end to the keel and main beam of the roof.

The other end was all firmly tied to the wall.

Ropes extend in all directions.

It looks like a blooming umbrella rib.

“It’s not difficult to tie loose structures together and make them work together.”

"But what the final result will be, we can only leave it to fate."

"Because this is just a delaying tactic. If the wind continues to increase, no matter how much we do, it will be useless. We can only give up here and find another way out. However, when encountering a typhoon in the wild, having a shelter is much luckier than being exposed in the wilderness."

This is a blessing in disguise.

But this little bit of luck is not enough to reverse the situation.

To survive in such adversity, this little bit of luck is obviously not enough.

On the other side.

Watching Lu Yu's operation, the barrage in the live broadcast room increased again:

"Come on, God Yu!"

"A chef who doesn't understand physics is not a good anchor!"

"If I wasn't afraid of running into acquaintances, I would say a few dirty words!"

"23333333"

"Anchor, I am not used to the climate and water, but you are!"

"It doesn't feel good!"

...

After getting down from the ladder, Lu Yu added some firewood to the campfire, and then continued to sit around the stove and talk with everyone.

As time went by, the wind outside the window became stronger and stronger.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier.

It kept crackling.

Except for the area around the bonfire, the rest of the room was wet beyond recognition.

Nothing unexpected happened.

The violent hurricane will sweep across the island tonight.

At six o'clock in the evening.

The program team was worried about Lu Yu's safety and communicated with him.

But Lu Yu made it clear that it was fine.

Let them be patient.

Because as long as they survive tonight, this challenge will come to an end.

The long march, only this last step.

No matter what

I have to survive.

At this critical juncture, I must not retreat.

Soon.

Because the sky was overcast, the light in the room dimmed soon.

In order to prevent accidents, Lu Yu had to stay alert and pay attention to weather changes tonight.
