Chapter 483 [Into the Jungle and Exploring the Island (Second Watch)]
They didn't move forward from the jungle road they opened yesterday, because it was far away, and because the things on that road were almost searched, they needed to explore more unknowns.
"Did you find water in this dense jungle yesterday?"
He hadn't gone far before Sect Leader Huang began to sigh, "How far is it, I don't even know where I'm going?" ”
"Can't be wrong. ”
The people behind were also disturbed by the dense thorn bushes and shrubs and vines.
The area of the island is neither large nor small, but the island has ancient trees, large trees and dense forests, and rich vegetation. Surrounded by countless thick tree trunks, strange green branches and vines twisted and coiled like snakes, intertwined with each other, like a green spider web, spreading into the sky.
For those who are walking into such a wild jungle for the first time, it is much more difficult to walk here than expected.
Walking through thorns and rotting leaves, he stumbled over vines from time to time. Visibility was not high overhead, and from time to time a few unknown strange birds flew in the sky, hovering over the treetops, calling like a group of indifferent native monsters mocking outsiders.
Everything is clear, everything is blurry, and if you don't look at the watch in your hand, the concept of time basically disappears from your mind, let alone the sense of direction. They don't know how long they've been walking, so they can only blindly follow along.
Seeing this, Xiaomi and Yun'er couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied, and Xiaomi said: "Yesterday was much more difficult than today." Today there are still two knives in front of us, and yesterday the three of us only had three wooden spears. The two of us were of little help, and the two dogs were using a stick to clear the way. ”
Everyone showed admiration, and Chen He said: "If you want me to come in alone, I'm afraid I won't dare to go forward if I can't enter a few tens of meters." ”
Chen Ergou explained: "Actually, it's not that terrible, everyone faces the same difficulties. At most, you need a little optimism and then stick to it. ”
"On a small island like this, there are frequent storms, and the trees don't grow too tall. It is also because this Poseidon island is surrounded by mountains on three sides, blocking the sea breeze, so that the trees in the col have excellent living space, not as short as other islands. ”
"Arborvitae have no worries, they will desperately grow upwards to compete for the sun, so the trunks below are all bare, with no branches and leaves, and only a huge green umbrella is stretched out on the top of the high tree, so that only 10 percent of the sunlight can penetrate the ground. Therefore, such an environment is both hot and a little gloomy, and there will be a lot of thorns and vines underneath to obstruct it!"
"Take everyone on a walk this time and open up a new path, so that next time you can come in and fetch water by yourself. ”
Peng Yuyan took the sapper shovel of the Yellow Sect Master, and worked hard to cut down the obstacle in front of him: "Let me come in next time to fetch water, but I'm a little worried that I'll get lost." ”
"If you get lost, there are many ways to find your way. The easiest way to do this is to look at your watch, lay it flat so that the hour is aimed at the sun, and the bisector between the hour hand and the 12 o'clock on the dial points in the direction of the south!"
Hearing this, everyone looked down at their watches, and Peng Yuyan said, "It's the angle less than 180 degrees, right?"
"That's right. ”
"If the sun is overhead, how do you know the direction?"
"Easy!"
Chen Ergou said: "The sun is just above the head at noon, and a stick is inserted vertically on the ground, forming a shadow under the sun's illumination." Place a stone at the apex of the shadow, and after about 15 minutes, when the apex of the shadow moves to another place, put another stone, and then connect the two stones in a straight line, the side to the sun is south, and the opposite direction is north, the higher the straight skewer, the thinner, and the more perpendicular to the ground, the longer the shadow moves, the more accurate the direction measured. ”
Chen He's eyes lit up, "I seem to have learned this method when I was in junior high school?"
Huang Lei said: "It was originally the knowledge in middle school textbooks, and the principle was very easy to scrutinize, but I didn't have the opportunity to practice." ”
Chen Ergou said: "I will teach you a mantra for the direction of the watch, 'the hour is half a pair of the sun, and 12 refers to the north'." Divide the time you are in, and then point the quotient to the sun, and the direction of 12 on the dial is north. For example, at 8 a.m., divide by 2 quotients to 4, and align the 4 on the dial with the sun, and 12 points to the north. If it is afternoon, it should be calculated according to the 24-hour timekeeping method, for example, at 2:00 in the afternoon, divide 14 by 2 quotient for 7, and point the dial 7 at the sun, and the direction pointed by 12 is north. ”
He said it very carefully, not only did everyone in the team have the opportunity to practice and combine theory, but the audience watching the live broadcast was also shocked by this invisible pretend, and the barrage was as lively as swiping the screen, "I got new skills again." ”
"Jack-of-all-trades, Professor Dog, 666. ”
"The small class of Dog Master is getting wider and wider, and the number of students this time has increased significantly. ”
"A large group of celebrities walk together, and the dog is the most like a big star!"
Huang Lei's brain is very flexible, and his IQ is a little bit higher than everyone, so he immediately learned and put it into practice, and quickly determined the direction according to the dial, and said, "Then we are going west now, right?"
Chen Ergou gave a thumbs up and said, "That's right." ”
"It's okay, Huang Laoxie!" Huang Sect Master teased, "I found it so quickly." ”
"It's okay, it's just on paper. Huang Lei said modestly: "Ergou will teach a few more skills, so as not to numb his claws next time." ”
Chen Ergou smiled: "I don't need you to say it, teaching this kind of wilderness knowledge is my favorite thing to do when I usually broadcast live alone." ”
"Hey, what a teacher. ”
"Haha, Mr. Huang is also with each other, let's not delay talking while walking. ”
By the way, facing the camera again, he reviewed the tricks of finding direction in the jungle for the audience. For example, the immediate results, trees, moss, North Star, the direction of snow melting is south, etc. Yuna looked at him with adoration in her eyes, as if she was looking at a great professor.
"Of course, finding water in the wilderness is always a priority. A flowing water source is ideal. Although water can be sterilized by boiling it or using chemical purifiers, running water is better. With the help of sensitive auditory organs, pay more attention to whether there is the sound of mountain streams or waterfalls at the foot of mountains, mountain streams, basins, valley floors, etc., and whether there are frogs and water birds. There are also places where the rock walls meet, and natural mineral water will seep out. ”
"Or use your nose to smell as much as you can the smell of dampness, or the smell of dirt and aquatic plants brought by the wind, the direction of animal droppings, and then look in the direction of the smell. Look here......" he pointed to a pile of tiny black particles for everyone to see.
"What is this?" Chen He picked one up and looked at it carefully in the palm of his hand, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly a few times, and then almost licked it with his tongue.
Chen Ergou said with a strange look in his eyes: "This is goat's dung." ”
"Ahh
Everyone laughed, and Chen Ergou said with a smile: "You can find water sources according to feces, and animals are masters of finding water." There are also marks of a wild boar arching its nose over the ground under the bushes, trying to dig up maggots and other smelly things. While these aren't just left, it's a good sign. ”
"Because we're almost there~"
The team was high-spirited, and Chen Ergou also sped up his swinging speed, and all the obstacles and thorns along the way were cut down mercilessly.
Everyone followed his pace, and soon heard the faint sound of Ding Dong gurgling water.
"There's really water. ”
The surroundings changed, and soon a very small stream appeared in front of me. It's not so much a stream as a ditch, but at least it's flowing. The water quality under the small ditch is very clear, and it is very refreshing to wash your face cold.
"Coo~" Yuna twisted the lid of her small kettle, and couldn't wait to fill it with water and drink it.
"Yun'er, the water here is raw water, so you can't drink it directly. ”
"But I'm so thirsty, can I drink a little?"
Millet handed over his kettle, "Drink mine, I have more here." ”
The drinking water provided by the program team has been exhausted for a day, everyone's kettle is empty, only the small kettle of the two women has been specially cared for by Chen Ergou, and it is filled with coconut water. It's just that I've been drinking almost since last night.
Chen Ergou looked around, carried it to the top of the ditch, and stopped in front of a cluster of huge bamboos that grew in all directions, "It's a giant dragon bamboo, if you are not mistaken, there should be water in it that can be directly drunk, everyone bring the kettle." ”
After a few taps on the end, he slashed a giant dragon bamboo with a swing of his knife, and clear bamboo water suddenly gushed out from under the bamboo joints.
"Wow, there's so much water in the bamboo?"
"It's not like the whole bamboo knot is full of bamboo water. ”
Chen Ergou helped Yun'er fill a pot of water and handed it to her, "This can be drunk directly, and it will have a hint of bamboo taste, everyone try it." ”
Yuna couldn't wait to take a sip, "It's delicious, it's a little sweet, and it smells like bamboo." ”
Everyone tried it, and it was really refreshing. The temperature in the woods is so high, but the water in the bamboo is as if it has been chilled, and it is heart-warming!"It's a miracle, I'm alive again." ”
Chen Ergou said with a smile: "These bamboos are very useful, bamboo rafts, tables, chairs, bamboo houses, we can even use it to build a bamboo building!"
Peng Yuyan clenched the sapper shovel, "So what?"
"So cut it and take it away!"
"Okay, I'll do it!"
