Chapter 105: An Unexpected Taste!
"Well, this, I haven't drunk it yet, if I have the opportunity to go abroad, I will definitely tell you okay!"
"Heh, routine!"
"Speaking of the truth of the routine, it seems that the anchor doesn't know everything!"
Chen Fan waved his hand and replied: "That's for sure, no one in this world can be all-round full-time, even God can only take care of his own one-third of an acre, do you say yes."
Well, let's continue to educate you about the spindle tree, and the traveler's banana on the African savannah can also provide water for travelers in the desert.
As long as people dig a small hole in the tree, the fresh thirst-quenching "drink" can flow out continuously, solving people's urgent need for water shortage in the vast sea of sand.
When the spindle tree reaches the rainy season, it will grow sparse branches and heart-shaped leaves on the top of the tall tree, like a large radish.
And when the rainy season is over, the dry season comes, the green leaves are withered again, but the safflowers are blooming one after another, at this time, the spindle trees become a large vase with red flowers, so people also call it a bottle tree. ”
"Now, I'm pretty much up with water. Although I don't know the taste of the spindle tree, but the poplar tree, I'll drink it right now and tell you. ”
Chen Fan directly leaned down, put his mouth to the jungler pickaxe that was pierced into the poplar wood, and drank it carefully.
Speaking of which, it is not the first time for Chen Fan to absorb water from tree branches.
But this time drinking the water from this half-dead poplar tree, Chen Fan originally thought that he would see those trees in the mainland, which were bland or bitter, and the taste was very ordinary.
However, after only taking a sip, Chen Fan noticed something different.
"Well, this taste, it's so unexpected, it's a little sweet, with a slight bitterness, like ice cubes with mint leaves, the feeling of drinking. ”
After searching the information in his mind, Chen Fan continued:
"Because it's in the northwest, and the UV rays are strong throughout the year, most plants receive plenty of sunlight, which is converted into energy, including sugar.
Therefore, the ugly apples of the plateau, the pears and cantaloupe from the northwest, the grapes of the Tianshan Mountains, and the fragrant pears we eat are all fragrant and sweet, which is the principle. ”
"666, the anchor is amazing, awesome, go out to play another day, and I'll get some water from the tree to drink. ”
"The anchor is really a jungler, kneeling. ”
"it, you can squeeze water out of a dead tree?
"I've gained +1 in knowledge! For the first time, I knew that I could get water like this. ”
"666, it's my shortsightedness. ”
"Obediently, I really have some letters, Lao Tzu is spicy!"
"I suggest you pay the IQ tax, it's just distressing. ”
"This must be hype, you can believe it, maybe those trees have been planted there a long time ago, and the anchor deliberately appeared in a posing position.
"I'm curious, how did you survive with this kind of intelligence?"
"The anchor made a mess of the show and stunned me!"
"Poof, my stomach hurts from laughing. ”
"God cried greedily and laughed at the pee. ”
"Troll, get out, do you think it's the water army concentration camp you went to, I love to see, not to watch. ”
"Calling the room manager affected me to watch the barrage and listen to the anchor impart knowledge. ”
……
……
Chen Fan looked at the barrage and wanted to say a few words, because he had rarely seen crooked buildings recently, why did it still pop up here.
Fortunately, the room management quickly made a ban, and the popularity of the live broadcast room was forty or fifty thousand, and most of the viewers who came with them covered up the trolls' barrage.
Chen Fan smiled and explained: "Actually, it's good to have different voices! Anyway, the trolls just have to watch, and the whole platform can find me to pose for the photo, count me as losing."
This matter has passed for the time being, and now I am camping, and I will sleep in this tree tonight. In addition, poplar trees have very deep root systems, and even after they die, they will not collapse for hundreds of years, nor will they be blown away by sandstorms.
So, if you are in the desert, even if a sandstorm comes, you only need to hold on to the trunk of the tree to avoid being swept away. ”
The largest poplar tree is extremely stout, with a diameter of more than one meter and a trunk height of about five meters.
Chen Fan put down his backpack and tried to climb the tree first, but he didn't expect that half of the trunk and the branches were there, there were many dry branches, and there was a small hole underneath, forming a groove.
"I guess this is supposed to be a nest for birds of prey like eagles or eagles, because this nest is very large and crudely made, and it has been abandoned for a long time, and I can use these to make a fire under the tree, and there will be enough firewood tonight. ”
After dismantling the bird's nest and putting the backpack on the tree, Chen Fan left a jungler pickaxe under the tree alone, and then took out the tent.
Spread out the plasma fiber tent and place it on the branch of the tree, so that when you sleep at night, you will be much more comfortable.
After tidying up, try to sit in the branches, although it feels a little cramped, and it is uncomfortable to bend your legs. In the end, I had no choice but to put my legs in mid-air, which made me feel a lot more comfortable.
Chen Fan slowly climbed down the poplar tree, a certain distance away from the poplar tree, cut a few more handfuls of dry sand willow branches, and began to dig a half-meter square pit in the sand as before.
That's right, Chen Fan continued to prepare for the fire.
Before crossing and rebirth, Chen Fan himself didn't remember how many times he had used drilling wood to make fire, and the first time he survived in the wilderness, Chen Fan also used heaven and earth to naturally make fire.
The skill of drilling wood for fire has been deeply engraved in the soul.
Taking out the outdoor dagger on his arm bag, Chen Fan easily cut a groove and a fire start in a branch.
Then he held another straight wooden stick, folded his hands, and began to drill wood to make fire.
As in the past, there is no skill in drilling wood for fire, only practice makes perfect.
"Everyone, remember to drill wood for fire, how fast the stick should be drilled, how strong the palm of the hand should be, and which posture should be the most labor-saving... Wait, these questions are not enough, you need to experience them yourself, in order to understand them thoroughly. ”
At first, Chen Fan's drilling speed was very slow, but if you looked closely, you would find that every three seconds, the speed of his hands would increase a little faster, and finally faster and faster.
This is the experience he summed up after hundreds of fires.
Using this method, the wood chips in the groove can be heated more evenly, thus saving time.
Normally, the time to successfully drill wood for fire is about 15-20 minutes.
Chen Fan, on the other hand, only needs 5 minutes, and even when the materials are suitable and the surrounding environment is extremely dry, it can be done in 1 minute.
Three minutes later, Chen Fan's rubbing hands had turned into afterimages.
As the sticks continued to drill, black sawdust continued to overflow from the grooves, and wisps of green smoke rose from them.
