Day 67, A Devastating Blow (Part II)
When it comes to how to start a fire, I don't know how I suddenly remembered it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
I once saw a colleague click on it, and that time it was because of overtime on the weekend, and when we were taking a break at noon, we saw an interesting experimental video in the circle of friends.
He's the kind of person who is very real, and after reading it, he had to test it, and after buying the materials at the convenience store downstairs, he tried it. I didn't look closely at his pre-production process.
I don't really know exactly how much time it took to make it, because I didn't pay much attention to it, maybe thirty minutes? Maybe an hour? I'm not sure.
But in the end he was excitedly calling out to me, and when I went to look, he did light the fire.
This incident is very weak in my memory, and if it hadn't flashed out of nowhere, I might not have been able to remember it at all.
There aren't many materials, I calculated, basically I need all the materials, what needs to be done, only to try slowly.
There were three large batteries in the flashlight, none of which got into the water, and after taking out one battery, I put the rest on the table. Yes, it is one of the most important materials for ignition, and the second material is something that I thought about for a long time. My colleague was using chewing gum foil, but I didn't have it at all, but then I thought of a substitute, the tin foil in the cigarette case!
Both are the same material, so the chances of success are very high, and the cigarettes are piled up on the table by me, and they are not very wet. I've only opened one pack, the others are sealed, and because they're wrapped in a futon, they don't get damp at all.
Now the sun has moved a lot westerly, the bedding looks almost dry, and the ignition materials that have been picked up have long been dried, of course, those arm-thick branches must not have dried so quickly, but even if these branches are still a little wet, they can still be placed on the edge of the fire, and after drying, they can be used as the power for the fire to continue burning......
But it's a bit early to think about this, after all, the fire hasn't been lit yet. If this worked, ignition would no longer be a problem, and I started to get excited again.
The small dry branches, leaves, and ignition materials were all picked up in a pile by me and carried over. The most critical time has come, and if I can succeed, then at least I will not have to endure the torture of darkness anymore.
The battery does not need to be disposed of, but the tin foil in the cigarette case does. I remember that the middle of the foil was to be cut narrowly. I took the cigarette case that I had opened before, and the cigarette inside was a little wet, but now it has dried, but the taste is probably not as good as before.
There are small scissors on the Swiss Army knife, and after measuring the length of the battery, I used small scissors to cut a piece of tin foil from the cigarette case, and the whole piece of tin foil is about two centimeters wide, after all, it is an experiment, so I specially cut it larger.
In the middle of the tin foil, I used small scissors to cut off a piece up and down, leaving about a centimeter wide in the middle of the tin foil, and then it was time to try, according to my colleagues, this method seems to take advantage of the short circuit of the battery, which can make the middle of the tin foil burn.
Because I wasn't particularly interested in it at the beginning, I didn't know how much I needed for the overall width of the tin foil, and how many models I needed in the middle, so I had to try it slowly.
Attach the foil to the poles of the battery, press it with your thumb and forefinger, and wait for it to ignite in the middle.
Soon, my thumb and index finger had a feeling of slowly getting hot, and at this time I must have been nervous and afraid, afraid that my fingers would be burned by the sharply rising temperature, and that the battery would explode due to a short circuit, although I don't know if the battery would really explode.
Ten seconds later, I saw white smoke coming out of the tin foil in the middle, and I was about to cheer, but it was over......
There was no fire at all, because I felt the temperature coming out of the poles of the battery getting higher and higher, but after the white smoke disappeared, there was no response, so I had to put the battery down and prepare to try again.
The time was just right, and there were no burns on my fingers except for some heat. In order not to waste time, I am ready to start a second attempt, this time, I will cut the tin foil in the middle a little narrower, and after a few pruning with small scissors, it is estimated that the width of the middle is now less than 0.5 centimeters, that is, less than 5 millimeters.
I should be able to succeed this time, right? I'm a little excited!
Put my hands together, put them in front of my mouth, sighed, and gave myself a blessing of luck, I picked up the battery again, and the second trial began, and I pressed the tin foil again after the change!
Two seconds! Just two seconds later, there was smoke!
Five seconds! It should have been only five seconds before I saw Mars. I was so excited! I was soon lighting the fire again.
The spark instantly burned through the narrow space in the middle of the tin foil, and I tried to extend the tin foil, which still had a little bit of spark, into the ignition material, but it was not extinguished...... Nothing happens!
Reality is like a basin of cold water, pouring me through!
I didn't understand why my colleague was able to burn the tin foil when it was the same operation, but I couldn't! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have just given up, or directly thought that the person in the video was a liar who had been edited.
It's okay, the mentality didn't collapse, after taking a few deep breaths, I adjusted it, cut a piece of tin foil again, this time the width, I made some adjustments again, from the original two centimeters to about one and a half centimeters, of course, this is all approximate, I am not so fine.
The width of the middle of the foil has been changed to about 0.7, which is a little wider than last time, and I hope to set the foil on fire instead of burning it out.
This time, my mood was even more nervous, and the continuous failures made me a little worried about what if they all failed...... What to do that night......
Worry didn't stop me, and now the new piece of tin foil had been pressed against the battery, and three seconds later, white smoke came out of the middle of the foil, and just when I was annoyed and wanted to throw this foil away, fire, fire!
"Yay!" I almost stretched out my scissor hand in excitement......
Of course, it didn't really reach out, and I didn't even feel the heat of the battery, so I immediately erected the piece of tin foil, let the flames begin to spread, and immediately leaned it towards the ignition materials.
"Smack. "All these flammable materials that had been prepared were burning, and I began to talk about the little branches on the side and slowly put them up, and the fire came to life again, and this night was not destined to be cold and dark!
