Chapter 6: Making a Fire
In the live broadcast room of "The Law of Survival", there are many people who have such confident words about Fang Xiaotian, there are doubts and all kinds of cynicism, and there are also some half-believing sailors who are waiting to watch the show, in short, most people are not optimistic that Fang Xiaotian can make a fire at this time, and they don't think he has the ability. It's not because of anything else, there is no fire in the 5 sets of pictures in the live broadcast room...
At this time, Fang Xiaotian pointed to Sun Yuying's ponytail: "Give me the rubber band, I'll be useful!"
Although Sun Yuying was a little puzzled, she still did it. She said with a puzzled voice: "A leather band, how can it make a fire? I'm about to be bitten to death by mosquitoes, you hurry up and think of a way..."
At this time, Sun Yuying already had some negative emotions, the mosquitoes in the jungle on the tropical island are not a joke, biting people is like a needle prick.
"I'll work first, I'll talk about it later..."
Fang Xiaotian didn't care about her emotions, but took the mountain knife and picked out a small drill rod and a relatively dry piece of wood from the firewood he picked up.
Because visibility is very low at night, of course, you need the help of the photographer's infrared camera to prepare these two things.
When the fire drilling tools were ready, Fang Xiaotian picked up a dried coconut and split one, and took out a ball of dried coconut fiber as a firestarter.
Sun Yuying looked at him suspiciously, because Fang Xiaotian's preparations were quite good, although it was pitch black around, he could still feel his intentions.
At this time, after Fang Xiaotian sharpened the drill rod, he cut a long cut with a knife edge on the top of the other end of it, and then used the tip of the knife to drill a small hole in the fire-taking wood, and the fire-making tool was completed.
After doing all this, Fang Xiaotian smiled confidently: "Look at it! It's time to witness the miracle..."
After finishing speaking, Fang Xiaotian used the thumbs of both hands to press the rubber band into the long notch on the drill rod, and then kept rubbing and rubbing with both hands...
At first, there was no reaction, but gradually, a trace of smoke was slowly drifting away, followed by a small spark that became clearer and clearer, as the movements in Fang Xiaotian's hand became faster and faster, that little bit of spark became more and more intense...
"Hold the grass, 666666..."
"Grandma's, it's up, it's okay!"
"I won't help my grandmother cross the street, I'll serve Fang Xiaotian!
"There's an MMP, I'm going to say it now!!"
"What about the buddies who just said that the live broadcast eats Xiang? Don't be cowardly!
"Also, also, the brother who just said that the Buddha jumped over the wall, the Buddha jumped over the wall and brushed, and lived to 98!"
"Posture +1111..."
…
In an instant, the sailors in the live broadcast room were suddenly thundered by Fang Xiaotian's hand.
Drilling wood for fire also has certain requirements for the material and dryness of the wood, which many people know, but the efficiency of the fire is always a little unsatisfactory. Not to mention anything else, it may take several hours for the raw hands to start a fire, but when they get to Fang Xiaotian, it may take less than half an hour to pick up firewood before and after, which is overbearing!
Whether the fire is born or not, at least for now Mars is hope!
"System prompt: I'm very stable just because I don't drive, reward 2 Buddha jumping over the wall, and don't let go of empty cannons!"
"System prompt: Little sister's gherkins, reward 5 lobsters, awesome life tips..."
"System prompt: cute little fairy, reward 999 rice balls! reward, reward, reward! Important things to say three times!"
…
"Local tyrant, local tyrant, please take my knees!"
"Tuhao, is there still a shortage of toilet cleaners in your house?"
"Really, local tyrant! Anyway, what about the guy who wants to eat Xiang live? Don't hide, I know you're peeping at the screen..."
…
There are a lot of scrolling screens and tips in the live broadcast room. But it still can't affect Fang Xiaotian's progress in making a fire.
Suddenly, Fang Xiaotian carefully poured the sparks lit on the fire wood into the coconut fiber. He moved very lightly, as if he was caring for a newborn baby, and his mouth was blowing softly at the same time.
"It's on, it's !!"
Sun Yuying jumped up excitedly, her face already smiling. What could be more exciting to light a fire of life on a dark night?
And the sparks had turned into small flames and were beating, Fang Xiaotian was so tired that he collapsed directly on the ground, watching Sun Yuying adding firewood to the fire, his face was a little satisfied.
"You're so amazing..."Sun Yuying said excitedly, "You are amazing! How do you know that you will be able to make a fire? Tell me quickly..."
"Grandma, can you let me take a breath?" Fang Xiaotian rubbed his palm, which was a little painful, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple, the rubber band you tie your hair has some very good flexibility and oppression, it can help me press the drill fire rod very well, so as to produce better friction, and originally I planned to use shoelaces instead, but the effect is definitely not as good as the rubber band..."
Sun Yuying nodded as if she didn't understand, looking at the damaged rubber bands, somewhat helpless.
"I brought one with me, but it's already broken like this, I don't know if it will be able to be used tomorrow..."
Fang Xiaotian was a little embarrassed, after all, he had damaged her hair. He touched his stomach that was a little growling, and said with a smile: "There are still 3 coconuts, let's eat one now and leave 2 for tomorrow morning, do you think it's okay?"
Sun Yuying nodded again and again without thinking about it, you must know that more than 4 hours have passed since the two jumped off the helicopter, and they have only drunk a few sips of coconut water, which does not provide much energy.
Seeing Fang Xiaotian paralyzed on the ground, Sun Yuying picked up the mountain knife on the ground and took seven or eight minutes to split a coconut.
The two of them drank some coconut water, ate half a coconut meat, filled their stomachs, and then hurriedly lay down.
But it's going to be a sleepless night!
Although the fire was successfully lit, the night was not peaceful, many unnamed insects were calling Zhenghuan, and some stiff beds made people not sleepy at all.
The temperature difference between day and night is even more cold, even if the fire can provide some warmth, but the warmth is limited after all.
After lying down for an hour, Fang Xiaotian found that he couldn't sleep at all, so he got up and walked to the fire.
Seeing that the fire in the fire was a little small, he added some branches to it, and added a piece of wood that was very large, about the thickness of an adult's thigh, to prevent the fire from being extinguished.
After doing all this, Fang Xiaotian put his hands behind his head, lay on the stones and looked at the stars in the sky, and did not force himself to fall asleep.
"It's beautiful," he exclaimed.
This kind of starry scene has never been seen since he started working, which is really nostalgic!
At this time, Sun Yuying, who was asleep next to her, turned her head sideways, looked at Fang Xiaotian and whispered, "Can you sleep next to me, I'm cold..."
