it, he loses his initiative.) For ten thousand steps, he has a watch and can rely on the sun during the day, according to Before entering the water, he roughly knew which time zone he was on the earth, and then used the time and the relative position of the sun to determine which direction the north was. Then he roughly knew which port he was departing from, and he was on the map before losing his electronic equipment. Then determine the approximate direction of the nearest land and head to the land. At night, use the Beidou or Nandou constellation to determine the direction. Although this method has a large error, it is difficult to navigate to an accurate port, but Navigating to the nearest land is not a big problem (from the movie where the protagonist looks at the chart, it seems that there is an Indian Ocean vocabulary, so the west is Africa, the east is the South Asian subcontinent, and the north is West Asia and Arabia. He himself is flooding Where is the memory before????).
As for the weather, it is estimated that this old man usually relies on the weather forecast to sail. After losing the weather forecast, he will not judge the storm by looking at the clouds, nor will he judge the direction of the storm to avoid the storm (this is also a traditional navigation technique)
Therefore, one should not rely too much on electrical appliances, and usually reserve a little more traditional knowledge and lifestyle. Don’t have no electricity and there will be a dead end.
Take a step back and say, you are too lazy to learn traditional technical knowledge (many mentally handicapped people in modern society), so at any rate you prepare a few emergency GPS devices that use dry batteries to indicate latitude and longitude, or use dry battery radios and radios Equipment, these things are very cheap, only a few hundred dollars, can afford a high-end sailing boat, but are not willing to pay these hundreds of dollars, and the result is reimbursement of the old life.
Of course, the director has no choice but to be so miserable.
PS: When he arrived on the lifeboat, he thought of using a sextant, and read the manual to learn temporarily. This technique requires a certain amount of experience, and once the calculation is wrong, the difference may be a thousand miles away. The navigation school learns the positioning of the sextant. Do positioning exercises on a normal ship and compare it with GPS positioning data to correct your own mistakes. Only by running in for a long time can you achieve acceptable accuracy. Therefore, the old man in the film looks at the instructions and plays positioning. It is very likely that the positioning is wrong. , And then it will deal a huge blow to your confidence.
I’m too lazy to learn a sextant, so at least put a waterproof outdoor sports simple GPS device using dry batteries in the emergency rescue equipment bag, plus a simple radio, even if the power is lower, as long as there is a distance of a few nautical miles, at least When a large ship passes by, it is used to call for help, and all ships on the international distress channel must monitor.
So it can only be said that this is intentional by the director and screenwriter. Normal sailors are not so mentally retarded. Sure enough, many Hollywood movies are nonsense.
PS2: I read what I wrote, and finally saw the fresh water that this man worked so hard to store. As a result, the opening next to it was opened when I filled the water. As a result, the whole bucket of water was contaminated and could not be drunk at all. This bucket was transported. Many times, but I haven't seen him check the condition of such an important life-saving water. People who are so careless, go sailing, this time there is no accident, and sooner or later they will die. The history of navigation needs to be cautious, and most afraid of being careless. Soviet seamen often have accidents because they are too reckless. In fact, he should count and inspect his supplies as soon as he gets on the lifeboat, which is the standard inspection procedure. Moreover, the water attached to the lifeboat is usually antiseptic and can be stored for a long time, and the fresh water in the bucket is often not antiseptic. In the weather of the Indian Ocean, it will smell odor after two or three days in the sun, so you should drink it first. Bring your own water, this is also common sense for survival.
This man seemed to have just bought a boat, read the instructions and went out, encountered a little trouble, and then hung up. He didn't seem to have prepared life-saving supplies and emergency plans by himself, that is, in a commercial sailing boat. The standard life raft is nothing more than the standard life raft. Just look at the instructions and use it. Generally, the standard life raft contains two or three days’ worth of drinking water, compressed biscuits, and a little fishing line hook. To get on the radio and GPS, you have to prepare yourself. If he spends a few hundred dollars more to get these two things, he won't hang up.
PS3: Stupid, stupid, when I saw the boat, I remembered to read the manual of the signal bar, and finally I ignited the signal bar, but I clicked the end used at night (the signal bar has two ends, and one end burns and emits thick smoke. During the day, one end burns and emits a highlight, which is used at night, because the light during the day will not attract attention, and the smoke at night is useless, or two signal bars, one emits thick smoke and the other emits highlights, corresponding to day and night Environment. Generally, lifeboats have these two sticks. As a result, he ignited the smokeless signal rods that he used during the day and night. When this fool was in a daze on the lifeboat, he didn’t read the instructions. It’s so stupid. Asking for trouble. In the
end, the so-called that he burned the lifeboat to attract attention was completely misunderstood by the audience. The essence was that he used up all his signal rods and flare, so he wanted to make a campfire to attract attention (his first match burned When he got his hands on the clothes of the lifeboat, if he wanted to burn the lifeboat, he would not rush to pick up the matches from the clothes pile and throw them into the sea. After he discovered that the lifeboat was on fire, his first reaction was unexpectedly panic. He instinctively picked up the canvas and wanted to put it on to put out the fire, but he hesitated, because once the fire was put out, the ship would be missed. Whether the lifeboat could continue to float after the fire was also a problem. In the end, he had to make a desperate effort to keep the fire burning. Jump into the sea), the problem is, stupidly, he chose a plastic bucket to burn paper. Don’t you know that plastic is a flammable thing? And even if you use an iron bucket to burn paper, the iron bucket can be placed on a rubber lifeboat. It will transfer heat and melt the rubber at the bottom of the life raft. His correct choice is to think out a signal plan when he is in a daze. Make a torch and tie a piece of rubber cloth that can cause fire and smoke on it. After seeing the boat Ignite and hold it over the liferaft to avoid burning the liferaft, but in the end he was in a daze most of the time and did not prepare.
And if he plans to burn the lifeboat as a signal, he has to be prepared to float in the sea for a while, because even if the big ship sees the burning liferaft on the sea, he has to send sailors to put down the small boat out to search. This process takes at least 10 minutes, so he You have to stay up the water for a period of time, lack of water and food for a long time. It will not last long by treading on the water. You must rely on a buoyant life jacket. So if he intends to turn the lifeboat into a torch, he must at least use the water in the film. When I photographed the life raft from the bottom up, the side of the life raft was taken as a temporary lifebuoy, so this is an old man who has no plans and ideas. It is no wonder that he will be in such a miserable situation.
After reading it, the protagonist has a strong desire to survive, but it is just animal instinct. The protagonist is really stupid. It is stupidity that led to his final dilemma. If you are a little smarter and careful, he will not get the last one. situation.
