Chapter 245 Start the search and rescue, bread tree
"Hey, gentlemen, ladies, it's not bad now?"
"The air fuel in Karina's fuel tank is enough for six hours."
“We can start.”
Climbing to a certain height, under Hogs' control, the old plane Karina finally calmed down, which made Lorraine and her group relax.
After spreading the Hawaii map I bought a few days ago in the cabin, Lorraine took out a waterproof notebook from her backpack with her left hand and opened the first page casually.
Whale, black sand, iron pot...
The names and locations of a series of islands are recorded in the waterproof notebook, but they cannot be found on the Hawaii map. These are the knowledge and wealth accumulated by the old captain during his decades of sailing. Because he was moved by Lorraine's attention to his family, he told Lorraine free of charge.
Of course, these islands are located at the entrance of Dinosaur Bay. As for the location of islands in other directions, Lorraine doesn't need them, and the old captain won't say them.
"Go to Whale Island first, location..."
Compared with the Hawaii map, Lorraine marked the island names and basic orientations on the notebook one by one. In an instant, the original ordinary map turned into a treasure map with many hidden islands.
Of course, it is not ruled out that these islands have been discovered by various high-tech investigative methods today, but at least, there is no one on the original Hawaii map.
"Received, take it safe!"
The old plane passed a graceful curve and flew towards the direction Lorraine said - the propeller made a buzzing roar because of its rapid rotation, and even though he was in the cabin, he was still like thunder.
Unfortunately, the roar of the propeller was even louder than the roar of the strong wind outside the cabin, which was Hurricane Irena's breathing - a strong wind blew by the side, and the plane immediately shook violently, and Christina and Molly immediately turned pale.
"Ah, I haven't felt so wonderful in a long time!"
"Karina, dance with me!"
He fully showed the wildness of a veteran fetish and [lover] together. Hoggs shouted wildly, but his subordinates steadily pulled the joystick and kept fine-tuning the steering rudder on the main wing and tail wing, making the old [lover] seem to transform into a sea swallow, fighting against the increasingly intense storm.
Time passed by the paleness of the fingers holding the fixed handle of the cabin. When the last tremor disappeared from the fuselage, Hoggs' whistle and words came, and an island with a green back appeared in front of him.
"Whistle~"
"Hey, gentlemen, ladies, our first stop is here."
"very good."
"Hoghes, fly around the island with the slowest cruising speed for three weeks."
"Tina, Molly, get the telescope, it's time for us to start work!"
In the cabin that stabilized again, Lorraine immediately assigned everyone's tasks, and then he also lay on the side of the cabin, put the high-precision telescope that was typified as military, and began to observe the beach without opening his mouth.
…………
"Sand, sand, sand~"
The friction between fur and grass, the diving suit and the grass leaves kept ringing.
Ron, Catherine and the hamster who officially became a group of two people expanded into three people were trekking through the jungle.
In order to prevent the damage caused by various poisonous insects and lees in the jungle, Catherine rarely put on her diving suit and let the sultry and sweat flow.
When he arrived on the island, the sun had risen and set five times, and Ron had also left the shelter to explore three times. These three times allowed Ron to discover the breeding gathering places for seabirds, banana trees and lemon trees, as well as water sources and new shelters.
Now, a person, a cat and a mouse have begun their fourth exploration, with the goal of plant-based foods - in short, plants that can be eaten.
Although I have discovered lemons and bananas before, so I will not lack vitamins, eating seafood and meat can still easily lead to some inconvenience - the most intuitive manifestation is that it is not smooth.
"Orange, how long will we look for?"
Following the gurgling water source, the three of them had been walking in the jungle for more than half an hour, and they also rushed down the water source that Ron had seen before, and the small waterfall covered by vines, but so far no edible plants have been found.
“Meow~”
Keep moving forward ~
Raising his head from the grass, Ron called out to Catherine, then continued to walk, observing the surrounding plants while walking.
He was the main force in finding plants this time, and Katherine was just a waiter - her survival skills in the wild were taught by Ron after she went to the island, and she did not have the ability to distinguish edible plants.
However, there is a new member on Catherine's shoulder.
"Squeak!"
Standing up on Catherine's shoulder, the little guy tried to shake his nose in the shade of the mottled jungle trees, and then squeaked.
"Orange, it seems to have discovered it."
“In this direction.”
Hearing the cute scream, Catherine immediately called Ron in front of her, and Ron immediately turned his body and moved towards the direction indicated by the hamster Tingmeng.
If it was an ordinary hamster, Ron would never pay attention to it, but Ron dared not ignore his cute performance - after all, this little guy was able to discover the pearl hidden in the shell, so who knows if he has any other special abilities?
…………
He was so cute that he did not disappoint Ron's expectations. After walking about ten meters and turning a tangled banyan tree, a tree six or seven meters high appeared in front of the three.
This big tree has thick trunks and lush branches and leaves. The most important thing is that it is full of round yellow-green fruits, and several of them have turned brown.
“Meow!”
It's a bread tree!
With his eyes shining, Ron immediately recognized the identity of the big tree in front of him - the knowledge reserves of his previous life came in handy at this moment. After all, this is the only two plants that can grow fruits similar to bread flavors, and the other is the baobab tree that grows in Africa.
Of course, there are similarities between the two plants and differences. Baobabies belong to the Kapok family. In addition to being able to grow baobab fruit, the soft trunks can store a lot of water.
In Africa, a baobab tree can often feed a small group of monkeys, which is also the origin of its name.
The bread tree is different. It belongs to the Mulberry family. The fruit is a polymer fruit and is delicious after barbecue. It is the main food in some tropical areas. Ron and Catherine have tasted this food on Oahu, but Catherine has never seen the real thing.
And for the Polynesians, the bread trees have a different status - they eat the fruits of the bread trees, make boats with the bread trunks, build houses with the bread trees, and weave ropes and various daily necessities with bread bark.
Even during sailing adventures, the Polynesians will definitely carry the branches of the bread trees - they will plant them when they encounter islands, pointing out the direction for later generations, and providing essential supplies for life.
