Chapter 1039 - Plants That Can Walk
At noon, after a half-day trek, we finally arrived at our destination. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The places along the way were originally rainforests, but now they are not suitable as a location for filming.
Because the trees there have been cut down and processed on the spot to make items such as paper and disposable chopsticks.
In fact, the added value of these things is not high, and they all make money by quantity, but today's Amazon rainforest cannot withstand human toss at all.
This is why, some time ago, when the Snow Mountain Investment Company reformed and advocated the idea of "less paper office", it was unprecedentedly praised by various environmental protection organizations.
In terms of current technology, "paperless office" is basically impossible to achieve, so Han Xuancai proposed the new concept of "less paper......
There was no means of transportation, so he had to walk on foot on his legs.
There is a path at the foot of the road, which means that the surrounding area should be inhabited, and the wooden pier where the speedboat docked just now also shows this.
After walking about a kilometer, they saw a field of buildings made of wood, about forty or fifty of them, with a population of less than three hundred.
The roof has a steep slope to facilitate drainage, and the roof is covered with leaves of unknown plants, which have dried up and it is impossible to see the exact species.
In fact, with Han Xuan's understanding of local plants, it is estimated that even if it is still fresh, it is impossible to tell what kind of plant it is, and only after asking a guide did he know that it was oil palm, which is also a good waterproof material he asked Bell Grylls to use as a top at night.
Because of the large number of poisonous creatures and reptiles, the underside of those buildings is suspended in the air, similar to the bamboo buildings in the south of Yunnan, and some buildings made of bamboo can also be seen here.
Mr. Gerde Évela, one of the three guides, grew up here.
As an adult, he left his homeland to work as a tour guide because he longed for a life in the outside world, and he hasn't returned for more than ten years, and some people in the town still remember him, hugging and welcoming them, asking them what they want to do.
Han Xuan's identity was not explained, but he was told that he was going to make a documentary about the rainforest, and they had little contact with the outside world, so they did not recognize him.
The people of the town were happy about it, thinking that Gerde-Avila was mixed up, and that the people here thought that the movie was a mystery.
You can see some modern tools here, such as bicycles and copper stoves, but there are not too many of them and there is no electricity.
When Han Xuan chatted, he learned that they are still living a traditional self-sufficient farming life.
The old people are used to it, but the young people are yearning for the big city, hoping to live in the city one day, but they don't have the money to buy a house in the city.
With almost nothing left but ownerless wood, it is no wonder that many unscrupulous businessmen colluded with locals to cut down and deforestate the country under the nose of the Brazilian Republic, but no one reported it, but instead provided cover for those merchants.
It's not like the locals haven't paid the price.
The Amazon River has countless branches, and from the seventies to the present, more than 100,000 people have died from mudslides, landslides, and other abnormal natural disasters.
Due to the felling of trees that hold the soil and water in place, there have been more and more similar incidents of accidents over the years.
What is even more tragic is that the locals sell the wood, but they get very little money, they are still very poor, and the local prices are higher than in New York.
If Han Xuan wants to slow down the development of the Amazon rainforest, he must first make the locals rich, otherwise these people will not support him.
However, many countries cannot solve problems, and it is not easy for him to deal with them.
I think I can only do what I can, everyone will achieve great results with a little effort, starting with advocating the use of less disposable chopsticks......
It's too late.
After asking the locals a few questions, the guides left the small town with only a few dozen households.
Han Xuan unexpectedly found that they raised sheep without eggs, and it is self-evident what tragic past happened to these sheep, they must have been cut eggs and dried fish.
According to Mr. Gerder, there was that kind of fish in the nearby river.
When the weather is too hot, these sheep like to go down to the river, which has almost led to their extinction in the past.
Once you've packed your gear, set off into the rainforest.
It is surrounded by towering trees, which can be tens of meters high, and the sunlight is blocked, which is slightly dark.
This environment is very suitable for bryophytes, and the stones under your feet are slippery to step on, and there is a green tinge in the crevices.
The most important thing in this treasure trove of plants is plants, and there are curly cypresses growing on the roadside.
In times of drought, the peculiar curly cypress can detach its rhizomes from the soil, curl up in a ball and roll in the wind, until it finds a suitable place, and then re-entrenches.
It's similar to the ginseng essence that can run in myths and legends, but the difference is that it can actually run.
There was also an incomparably huge Amazon royal lotus floating on the surface of the river, this kind of oversized water lily round leaves crowded the river, Han Xuansheng had the idea of wanting to stand up and try it, but then remembered where he was now, and immediately gave up.
There are many crocodiles and piranhas in the rivers here.
After walking a few hundred meters, the trail came to an end.
Mr. Nando, who served as Bell Grylls' assistant and was also the director, looked at his surroundings and said, "Bell, Han.
Right here, there is no trace of man-made anymore.
Your task is to walk from this town to the next town, a distance of about 12 kilometers.
More than two days should be enough......"
Walking through the rainforest is not as easy as it is in other places.
There are no roads at all, and sometimes you have to take a long detour to continue, and the actual distance can be more than three times the distance on the map.
"Then here it is, are you ready, Han?"
The corners of Bell's mouth turned up, and he asked Han Xuan.
"Hmm.
Don't worry about me, I have experience filming shows and know what to do.
Don't you have a script? And that's it?"
"Yes, let's get started, feel free to play. ”
Director Nando turned on the camera, adjusted the microphone and other equipment, and after making an OK gesture, he followed the two people who were walking forward to shoot......
Speaking to the camera, Bale said, "I never thought I would have a partner.
And it's such a young partner with no survival experience, which makes me feel that in the next few days, I will become his nanny, and I hope there will be no accidents.
But Han Xuan can come and accompany me through the Amazon rainforest, I am very, very happy, after all, it is difficult to see the world's richest man endure hardship, he has always been handsome in people's minds before, right?
I promise it's going to be hard for him these days, and I hope you won't gloat after the show airs, or he won't let ......me go." )
