To recommend a bedtime mind training, is a game I recently enjoyed. I don’t need any props, just the brain is enough. I do not sleep well, from sleep to sleep takes a long time, this time is too boring, can only use the brain to play games.
This game is called the island game.
Suppose, God suddenly informs you that you are promised an island, but you are only allowed to live alone and not to leave and live the rest of your life. But you can customize it. The specific rules of customization are divided into two parts.
The first part is the nature category. You can set the geographic location, shape, geological conditions, vegetation, animals, minerals and hydrological resources of the island at any time. However, the total area of the island must not exceed 10 km, its altitude must not exceed 1000 m, and it must be at least 400 nautical miles from all land. Moreover, the islands are set up in accordance with the laws of nature. The distribution of species on the island must not be in contradiction with the geographical location of the island. For example, if you put the island near the equator, you can not put polar bears on the island ……
Because you want to next a person on the island for life, you must first think through their needs, and then decide the distribution of plants, animals and minerals, and then decide the location of your island as well as the shape. This is a very test of geographic knowledge, I often think about thinking, climb up and open to take the phone to hurry to check, in this island latitude and longitude can not grow wheat, the second half of my life can not eat noodles I will be very painful ……
The second part, is the facilities category. You have 50 million dollars and a year to buy equipment, supplies and hire teams around the world at any time. Anyway, after one year, everyone must evacuate the island, leaving you alone on it. From then on, you can communicate with the outside world in any way you want, just don’t allow anyone to board the island.
That’s a lot more to consider. Fifty million dollars sounds like a lot, and it’s not much to spend to guarantee that you’ll be alone on the island for the rest of your life. You must design a detailed enough plan, purchase materials, hire a fleet of ships to transport to the island, the cost of transportation is a large piece of expenditure.
Specifically to design the program, it is more complicated. First of all, you have to have a residence, people who live in Sanya know that the sea view is the most hurt and hurt the room, the residence set up, forcing you to go back to the first part — you design the island landscape, you have to set up a mountain or two out, so as to shelter the residence from the wind and rain.
But shelter alone is not enough, if you intend to be self-sufficient, then at least there must be farms, livestock farms and some processing facilities, what kind of animals to raise, what kind of crops, which also depends on the climate and geography of the island. You have to go back to the first part to revise your design. At the very least, you have to have some chickens and cows to have fresh eggs and milk.
Of course, you are living alone anyway, the consumption is not so large. Why not build a cold storage, which is stocked with enough ingredients purchased from all over the world. So what are you going to buy, steak or lunch meat, hot pot base or not? The lamb is sliced or minced, how to slow down the spoilage period of the ingredients as much as possible, how to store, also need to think long and hard.
Also, you can interoperate with the outside world with the network, but 50 million is not enough to lay a dedicated submarine cable, you have to consider repairing a satellite base station, another expense. In contrast, the purchase of a library of tens of thousands of books is nothing.
More importantly, the cold storage also, the residence also, the base station also, all need electricity. You have to design a whole set of power generation and supply equipment in the whole island. How much power is consumed overall, how big a generator to prepare, how to leave redundant wiring, how to protect against lightning, short circuit – considering I am a liberal arts student, do not expect much maintenance ability, but also try to make these power supply network is automated enough, simple enough, strong enough.
So it is very important which type of power generation is used. The first choice is of course a diesel or gasoline generator, but then you have to prepare an additional oil depot, but also far from the residence. Considering the most extreme case, which day the oil depot blew up in the sky, you still have to have a backup plan, is not to get a solar array? Do you choose an island location that has enough light? Or wind power? But a typhoon or hurricane can’t come. I’ve currently pinned this vain worry on isotope temperature difference generators and set about searching for brands as well as quotes.
This is just the beginning, as you will see when you get deeper into the idea, there are so many things to consider in order to spend the rest of your life on this island in peace. And these things are related to each other, often figured out a setting, the other settings have to be modified. Especially with a budget limit of $50 million, you can’t just do whatever you want, and you’re always on the edge of your seat every day to get the latest shipping prices. During the days when the Suez River was blocked, my budget sheet was almost bankrupt. When I played until I was excited, I almost didn’t want to write during the day and just indulged in querying cold storage selection, seawater rice cultivation or satellite base station principles ……
Although this game is tedious, it is fun and has a tremendous effect on curing insomnia.
Of course, I didn’t say whether it was positive or negative.
