At this moment, there are people all over the world watching Doulong, to be precise, watching Wang Yang's live broadcast, everyone gave up the warm bed or some people gave up the morning run that lasted for a long time, just to see Wang Yang tumble down this canyon.

In the heart of the remote Libyan desert, why is there a gorge that looks like a river, what was it that used to be?
How can he find food in this barren land, and how long will it take for Wang Yang to escape from the desert?
Although survival in the wilderness is very boring, these questions or doubts are the motivation for them to insist on watching Wang Yang's live broadcast.
In the previous life, Bei Ye's wilderness survival series is only a few dozen minutes per episode, and it is full of wonderful edits, if all of them are released, it is estimated that there are really not many people to watch, and not everyone can tolerate the boredom of the wilderness.
The desert dawned, the animals went back to sleep under the rocks or under the desert, Wang Yang could see more clearly, and now he was carefully climbing to the bottom of the canyon.
"We have a saying in China, called the mountain is easy to go down the mountain, we all know that the effect of the force is mutual, the gravity center of gravity on the mountain is downward, and its own force is upward, the two forces are in opposite directions, into a balanced shape, in addition to a little effort, the danger is small.
However, going down the mountain is different, its own force and gravity are downward, it is easy to have the danger of stumbling, in the process of going down, often losing your footing represents rolling down the cliff and causing an accident. ”
This canyon is high rocks on one side, and layers of sandstone on the other, this sandstone is extremely brittle, and it is very likely to break when you step on it lightly, which has become a great resistance for Wang Yang to go down the canyon, and Wang Yang finally almost lies on the sand and slides down.
And sometimes when you are halfway down, you will find that you have no road below, and you can't go back if you can't go down, there is an idiom that is very vivid, called a dilemma.
Since there is such a cliff at the bottom of the canyon, but there is no foothold at a height of five or six meters, Wang Yang thought of teaching everyone a method of parkour jumping: "If you encounter such a situation when you go down the mountain, you can just do it like me."
This method works at a height of 6-8 meters, and the specific method is to keep your legs together, bend your knees, and use your legs to remove part of the momentum first, and then roll over when you fall to the ground, and unload the momentum to your back. ”
After falling to the ground and rolling a few times, Wang Yang got up and spit out a mouthful of sand.
"The temperature below is much cooler than above, and since this canyon is rarely exposed to the sun, it is likely to have water and animals. ”
Wang Yang looked at both sides of the canyon, and then touched the rocks on one side with his hand: "The trend of this canyon is obviously a river, but it has been dry for thousands of years now, and from this depth, I can also think of how a river was turbulent here." ”
Due to the lack of careful research, the history of these deserts is still buried in the long river of history, so no one knows what river this river once belonged to, and now the only countries in the world with a desert history are China and Egypt.
Sometimes other countries want to check some of their own history, they have to go to China to check the relevant literature.
This dry river channel is very long, but fortunately, the current route is the same as Wang Yang's, both to the east, in fact, it is very likely that this river can lead all the way to the Nile.
After walking in the canyon for several hours, Wang Yang didn't see anything to eat, and if he couldn't see any more food, Wang Yang would probably go to dig for insects under the rocks to feed his stomach.
"There's a very easy way to find water in a canyon like this, and that's to follow the greenery, and a half-human-tall plant has to get 50 litres of water a day from the soil, which is a good sign that there must be water somewhere nearby. ”
After talking for a long time, Wang Yang's throat hurt as if he had been burned, and he shook the kettle vigorously, and the last drop of water dripped down from the kettle and landed on Wang Yang's lips.
"I've run out of water and luckily we found the canyon, and now the surface of the desert is definitely above 40 degrees, and it's at least 10 degrees lower below. ”
The plants he saw before had proved that there was a water source nearby, and after walking for 10 minutes, Wang Yang finally saw a pool of yellow water, which was a lot of water, and it was estimated that it had fed many animals nearby.
Wang Yang squatted down and washed his hands with water and said: "I found a water source, but this water can't be drunk, I saw a lot of animal feces and rotting animal corpses inside, and this is a stagnant pool, it doesn't flow, so you can't drink it, as long as a drop of this water will make you diarrhea, there is only a dead end in the desert." ”
Although he can't drink it, as long as there is this pool, Wang Yang has many ways to drink clean water.
"This pool of water is blocking my path, and now I have to find a way back to the surface of the desert, but until then, the most important thing is to get clean and drinkable water. ”
Wang Yang returned to the shore and looked for a quagmire nearby.
"Look here, this place has a pond, so the air has a lot of moisture, and there is a lot of dew that forms at night, and it flows down the stones into this place, and now it has formed a mud pool, and I am going to dig it up a little. ”
The moisture in the air is free of any bacteria, and this condensed water is drinkable.
The quagmire has a lot of water, and after digging it for a while, the water slowly rises up: "The water looks the same color as the mud, and it is very dirty, but it is actually very clean, cleaner than the tap water in many cities, and because of the rocks, there are a lot of minerals." ”
It is not suitable to drink a lot of water at one time after lack of water, which will cause vomiting, so Wang Yang didn't drink it after two sips, and filled the kettle first.
During this time, Wang Yang only found two scorpions, because there was no condition to make a fire, so he had to cut off the head and tail and eat them raw, in order to survive, he had to abandon some of the so-called bottom lines.
After adding a little food and water, Wang Yang climbed to the top of the desert, Wang Yang guessed correctly, the temperature returned to more than 40 degrees, and in another two hours it was the hottest time in the desert, which may reach 50 degrees.
The normal temperature of the human body is generally about 37 degrees, below 36 degrees or higher than 38 degrees is in a dangerous temperature, and the temperature in the desert is often above 40 degrees, so you must find a place to rest at any time when you are advancing, otherwise the symptoms of heat stroke will occur once the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees.
"Actually, a good way to keep your body moist in the desert is to take a sip of water in your mouth and not drink it, and then breathe through your nose, so that every breath you take will bring water, but I can't do that, then I won't be able to talk to you. ”
The best place to rest is in the stone cave, the comfort level is the same as the gap between the outdoor and air-conditioned rooms in summer, it is simply two worlds, the next point is the same as Wang Yang now, hiding in the shade of the sand dunes, the advantage of this is that sometimes there will be a little wind blowing, although the wind is also hot.
But it's rare to see such a strong wind in the desert.
After Wang Yang finished resting, he was about to get up and continue to move forward, but he found that the sand blown up by the wind was everywhere around him, as if the sky had darkened all of a sudden, Wang Yang felt that something was wrong, and quickly climbed to the top of the sand dune to watch.
