Chapter 79 [Ship of the Desert]

(Rushing to the list in the early morning, begging everyone to help vote in the early morning.) Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This is the last time this book hits the list, thank you, thank you very much!)

I was going to sleep until seven o'clock, but I woke up at five o'clock in the morning the next morning.

He was awakened by the cold, and the fire had long since been extinguished. There is a large temperature difference between day and night in the desert, and the temperature can drop below freezing at night in the northern hemisphere winter. Coupled with the ubiquitous cold desert wind, it will be unbearable to blow on the body for a short time.

At this time, the sky in the desert was not yet dawn, and Chen Ergou found that his throat was dry and painful, and his forehead was also a little hot. This is a phenomenon that was blown too much by the wind last night, and it was only slightly relieved after drinking some water.

However, watching the starry sky in the vast desert hinterland and waiting for the sunrise is also a rare and wonderful experience in life.

Since I can't sleep when I wake up, I just start broadcasting.

So at one o'clock in the afternoon BJ time, the viewers who were walking around the panda suddenly received a reminder, "The anchor you follow Chen Ergou has started broadcasting, go and watch him." ”

"The dog master started the broadcast ahead of schedule?!"

The sailors who got the news were a little surprised, so they clicked in without hesitation, and the number of people in the live broadcast room increased like crazy.

As soon as these people entered the live broadcast room, they witnessed the vast desert as black as the eye could see, the unsheltered cold wind was swaying, and the surrounding palm olive leaves were blown and rattled. And their anchor Chen Ergou is exhaling cold air in his mouth, draping the antelope wool skin on his body and tightening the neckline of his clothes. He stomped his foot to rekindle the fire.

"Good afternoon, friends. ”

"Today's broadcast is ahead of schedule. The desert was so cold at night that the hammock was a bit too much, and I forgot to block the wind for my comfort, and I woke up at five o'clock when the fire went out. I simply started the broadcast in advance and asked everyone to accompany me to watch the sunrise. ”

"Haha, fortunately, I turned on the reminder and didn't miss the desert to watch the sunrise. ”

"It is said that the sunrise in the desert is the most spectacular, but I didn't expect to see the sunrise in the Sahara Desert in the live broadcast room. ”

"The dog has worked hard, touch the dog's head!"

……

Chen Ergou warmed a pot of water on the fire, crushed a few pieces of dried baobab fruit, and put them in the kettle to brew as coffee. Roasted a few more thousand-year-old orchid fruits, hoping that the desert artichoke would lower his feverish body temperature. Looking up at the sky quietly, the bright Milky Way hangs overhead, majestic. There are few traces of human life around, and everything is quiet, only the clear night sky is changing and the stars are moving.

Find the north, it is a map of the trajectory of the universe galaxy, no matter where you are, at this moment, with the sky, with the earth, with time and space.

It wasn't until 5:17 local time that the east began to turn red and the clouds spread out like a desert in a storm. The rosy morning glow tore open the curtain and struck the camera overwhelmingly.

Although human beings have written many magnificent chapters, they are still so small in front of nature. At the end of the magnificent cloud show, the sun rises from the end of the desert, and the light is red like a flame.

The whole process is short, but it is spectacular.

Sailors who have seen it can go and brag to their friends for a year, and it is not a lie.

After Chen Ergou drank warm bread tree fruit coffee and ate a few pieces of jerky, his body gradually regained his energy.

At this time, the bonfire that had been burning all night was gradually extinguished, and he got up and moved his body, and began a new day of adventure.

There's still a lot of work to be done before hitting the road today.

In addition to the edible fruit, the processed bark of the baobab tree can be used to make rope, mats, baskets, paper, and even clothes. All he has to do now is to roll the bark of a baobab tree into a rope, and then use a parachute hook to make a water storage tool from the antelope skin and antelope belly.

This is a small process, but it is extremely time-consuming, requiring careful stitch and thread weaving.

The inside of the fur was cleaned and washed several times before it was spread out on the stone, and several cutting lines were drawn on the fur with charcoal. This is a necessary step for a tailor, there are no scissors available, but fortunately he has a knife. In a flash of light along the cutting line, it has been cut cleanly.

A stitch and a thread of dense sewing, in the middle he found a problem, these baobab bark woven straw rope is still too thick, so he removed a small string in the nylon rope to replace, busy for a long time, "knitting skills" have increased a lot of proficiency, and finally gradually formed.

If you don't look at this barren working environment, this level of concentration is only afraid to catch up with professional tailors. Anyway, this needlework is enough to make the vast majority of female viewers ashamed.

After the sewing was completed, Chen Ergou tested it with water, "Ha, the water does not leak." He happily showed off the water storage bag in front of the camera, "Look, this is the latest sheepskin water storage bag imitating Paris Fashion Week LV, isn't it very powerful." ”

"66666, the dog master is so cute, he must have been a girl in his last life. ”

"A man who knows needlework can be so handsome, and he really wants to marry and raise him. Momda. ”

With the water storage prop, the rest of the trip was much easier, and when he saw the unused breadfruit bark and straw ropes and the surrounding palm olive trees, he came up with the idea again, "The narrow leaves of the palm olive tree are actually a great material for hand-weaving." Green palm olive leaves have a very effective purification effect on xylene and formaldehyde. If you move to a new house, you can buy some small dragonflies, baskets, roses and other things woven from palm olive leaves to hang in the house. ”

"I'm going to re-weave a straw hat out of these palm olive leaves. ”

Because there are many leaves in the palm olive tree, he only picks the most tender parts to weave, which makes them look better. What's more, the more tender the leaves, the softer they are and won't break easily.

Generally, it is to take two left and right crosses, keep folding forward, and pay attention to the folding gap, which will affect the overall appearance. Because it is to be worn on the head, there should be a recess space in the middle, and it is best to use a head-sized ball in the middle, which can be woven around the perimeter of the ball.

Teach while doing, and tie it firmly with a straw rope at the end.

Of course, he is teaching seriously, but in fact, water friends may not really learn.

The audience watched the live broadcast more and enjoyed watching the process of Chen Ergou weaving straw hats, and in the eyes of the vast majority of people, the formation process of a few irrelevant leaves to a straw hat is incredible.

Their dog has two knives in hand, and they can run back and forth in the wolf pack. The double knives were inserted into the waist, and there was a pair of slender and skillful hands.

Under these skillful hands flying up and down, a tender green wide-brimmed straw hat was quickly knitted.

Wear it on your head and it's just the right size.

Chen Ergou himself thought it was very cool, and suddenly made a strange move, pressing one hand on the straw hat on his head, and the brim of the hat was lowered and suddenly raised: "I am the man who wants to become the king of the wilderness! Let's go, Sahara." ”

“6666”

"The King of Pretending, you are already already!"

"Haha, what a terrible terrier, he even imitates Luffy. ”

"I really want a nice straw hat. ”

At this time, the audience was still rushing in, missing the front, and seeing Chen Ergou wearing a new straw hat on his head, they all exclaimed, "Wow!!, where did the straw hat come from, did the props team send it overnight?", "It's so cute! ”……

Chen Ergou sorted out his equipment and said, "It's almost over, I need the last preparation now, and it's also the most important." ”

"I haven't told you the destination of my trip before. ”

"I took a helicopter from Morocco into the heart of the Sahara and all the way north to Algeria. I was not invited by anyone because I had heard earlier that a water pipeline project across the Sahara was being built in the Insara region there, and that the leader of this infrastructure project was Sinopec. ”

"Algeria has always been a friendly country with which our country has diplomatic relations on the African continent. The massive infrastructure project, with a contract of more than US$800 million and a length of more than 1,200 kilometres, is planned to take three years to transport the abundant groundwater from the Insala region of Afghanistan through a huge water pipeline to Tamanhasset, a thousand-year-old city deep in the desert, providing drinking water to more than 50,000 residents living there......

"That's the route I plan to survive: as long as there is engineering, there will be lanes and roads, and it will be easy to meet people. ”

“6666”

"Petrochemical raises the prestige of our country. ”

"It turns out that my motherland is so powerful. ”

"Professor Dog is going to class, everyone sit down and don't talk to each other!"

Chen Ergou shook his head and said: "Don't be too happy, Morocco and Algeria are in a state of cold war, and in the center of the border between the two countries is a vast Saharan uninhabited desert area. It's going to be an arduous journey, I don't have any support team, and the slightest carelessness will be overwhelming. So you must always grasp whatever is available around you and do everything possible to survive!"

"I'm lucky to have found a desert oasis with plenty of food and water, but I can't carry everything on my back. So now the most important preparation is needed, and that is the camel, known as the 'ship of the desert'. ”
