Chen Zhou plans to stop transporting on October 23 and start constructing a sturdier Shelter on the island.
The entrance to this new Shelter must be safe and concealed, and the internal space needs to be larger than a dozen temporary tents combined, for storing supplies in an organized manner.
At the same time, the new Shelter should be close to a water source, sheltered from the wind, able to receive sunlight, and have a thick waterproof roof.
The interior of the Shelter requires a separate kitchen with a chimney, and the bedroom should have space for furniture and room for a hammock.
After the transport work concludes, building the Shelter will become a new, long, and arduous project, not something that can be pulled off in just a day or two.
To stockpile enough building materials, Chen Zhou decided to strip away the entire upper deck of the ship, including the waterproof tiles at the top.
