Chapter 176: You Think It's Easy to Survive in the Wild?
It can only be said that Yan Yan underestimated the difficulty of every skill in survival in the wild.
The absence of matches means that the fire can only be made by other methods.
Without the sun, there would be no ghost convex mirror for fire.
Besides, no one has any convex mirrors or anything like that.
Another is to use the battery of the flashlight and the small lamp bead to ignite, after the glass of the small lamp bead is worn out, the bullet propellant is filled inside, and the propellant will be ignited after the power is on.
In addition, using the pencil lead as a conductor will burn the pencil lead as red as an electric heating wire after the battery is electrified, which can also ignite.
It's a pity that there is no flashlight, no battery.
It seems that the instructor who taught the brigade to set up this wilderness survival subject did not intend to make it easy for the students to get the subject of fire.
For the rest, there are only a few of the most primitive methods of de-fire.
One of them is called striking stones for fire, as the name suggests, it is to use stones to strike each other to trigger sparks, so that the sparks fall on the ignition medium and ignite.
However, the success rate of this primitive method of making fire can only be described as "pathetic".
Zhuang Yan, Xu Xingguo and Zhang Pengfei found some hay, carefully tore them into thin strips and piled them into a pile, and then went to the river to pick up pebbles and knocked them for a full twenty minutes.
There was no movement on the hay.
Stone impacts occasionally produce a little bit of spark, but they are not enough to ignite the hay threads.
Zhuang Yan couldn't help but wonder if the instructor in the theory class was fooling him.
"No, this thing can't be done, the solution won't work, if it goes on like this, it's destined to gnaw on compressed biscuits again tonight."
For dinner, everyone wants to eat some hot rice.
Each person has a pound of rice, which is two taels a day for five days, and eating compressed biscuits at noon, and eating some rice and wild vegetables at night, this food distribution plan looks perfect, and it seems that there is no "survival" dilemma at all.
It's just that, in actual operation, solemnly found that he was really too naΓ―ve.
Hitting rocks to make fire doesn't work, and everyone has the idea of focusing on drilling wood to make fire.
In the theory class, the instructor taught one of the most effective ways to drill wood for fire - bow drill for fire.
The method is also very simple, use strong branches or bamboo chips, and tie them with the laces of camouflage shoes or liberation shoes to make a bow. Wrap a dry stick the thickness of your index finger around the bow and use it to quickly spin on a piece of dry hardwood.
This will drill out a lot of black powder, and finally due to the high heat generated by long-term friction, the black powder will spark, and it can be ignited with a light blow and a little hay.
The three of them discussed it and decided to give it a try.
This method took more than 20 minutes.
It turned out that some sawdust came out, but the wind in the mountains was a little strong, and it had just accumulated a little, and as soon as it was blown by the wind, it dispersed.
What's worse is that the black sawdust that comes out is not as much as the theoretical knowledge says, and it is not enough to smoke at all.
"Holy!"
solemnly grinded his hands to the point that they were about to cramp, and sat down next to him in frustration.
"No, Lao Xu, come here!"
Xu Xingguo went up and grinded for more than ten minutes, and while grinding, he said to himself: "No! No movement! β
Solemnly looked around irritably.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and there were more and more people at the assembly point of the brigade.
In some places, there are already fires.
Someone, it seems, succeeded.
"It seems to be Class 8 over there, I'll go over and take a look." solemnly said: "Learn from the scriptures." β
He remembered the king's big mouth.
This guy is a veteran, and almost the entire eighth class is a veteran.
It seems that there are really some differences between new recruits and veterans.
When Zhuang Zhuang arrived at Class 8, he found Wang Dazui who was blowing with his cheeks on the edge of the smoke stove.
"Big mouth!"
"Yo! It's majestic! β
"You're on fire here?"
"Just kidding, don't you see?" Wang Dazui pointed proudly to the smoke stove.
solemnly stretched out his head to see that a lot of flames had been lit in the stove.
"How did you light the fire? It can't be a lighter, right? Solemnly teased.
Wang Dazui jumped out of the pit in front of the smoke stove and said to Zhuang Zhuang with a smile: "Are you stupid? Our squad leader looked at it, I could have lit it a long time ago with a lighter. β
solemnly looked in the direction he was looking at, and sure enough, he saw Qian Zhongjun, the eighth squad leader, sitting on the ground, including the seventh Luo Xiaoming and the ninth squad leader Pei, all of whom were there, and several squad leaders seemed to be burning the fire and preparing to cook something to eat.
"Oh shit! The squad leaders use lighters, we can't use them. Zhuang Yan couldn't help but complain.
The king mouthed and said, "Cough! Don't talk about it, students have no human rights! β
"Big mouth, which method did you use to start the fire?" He solemnly said, "My piece of wood is going to be drilled through, but it still can't work." β
Wang Dazui said, "Stupid, right? It's very difficult to drill wood for fire, so I don't have to do it so hard. β
"Don't be a bad seller, tell me quickly, otherwise our class won't be able to eat tonight."
Wang Dazui stretched out two fingers and clamped them.
"You're a shit, you still want to smoke when you're so ripe?" Solemn couldn't help but bury him.
"Why are you talking like that, you are all comrades-in-arms, what's wrong with giving a cigarette?" Wang Dazui said shamelessly.
Zhuang Zhuang had no choice but to give him a cigarette, and when he took the cigarette, he looked at his lighter, and couldn't help but say, "If it weren't for the damn old seven, I'd light it now." β
"I can tell you, don't be impulsive, or your wilderness survival score will be zero, and it won't look good when the graduation transcript is stuffed into your file." The king said, "Go and try to make fire with rattan." β
"Rattan?" Zheng Zheng said: "That method will be faster?" β
"Of course!" Wang Dazui was very sure, "You recruit students are stupid, which method is good and doesn't have points?" Do you have to try them one by one? β
He learned the method of making fire from the mouth of the king's mouth, and he did not dare to delay for a moment.
If everyone else comes back looking for food, the fire on their side can't be lit, and they will lose their old face.
In fact, rattan fire is also available in teaching materials, but solemnly feels that this method may not be very reliable.
Unexpectedly, Wang Dazui actually used this method to get the fire.
"Lao Xu, go find a piece of wood that is dry enough, it needs to be thicker!" Returning to his own territory, he solemnly hurriedly explained to Xu Xingguo, "The big mouth uses the rattan fire method!" β
Xu Xingguo was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Okay, then you go get rattan!" β
solemnly grabbed a military mountain knife and ran into the woods with Xu Xingguo.
Since it didn't rain for the past two days, the dry trunks were still easy to find, and the dried rattans were quickly found.
Returning to the campsite, Majest hurriedly broke the wood in half with a knife and then supported the gap with a pebble, stuffing the crack in the trunk with hay.
Then, with each of his two feet, he stepped on the two ends of the trunk, and crossed the crack of the trunk with the rattan, grabbed one end of the rattan with one hand, and began to pull it up and down.
The rattan made a snorting sound, and the dried wood chips and rattan bark on the rattan began to peel off, mixed with some hay debris.
Ten minutes later, Xu Xingguo, who had been staring at the wood beside him, suddenly shouted in surprise: "Lao Zhuang, it seems that there is a play!" β
"Is it on fire?" Zhuang Yan was already sweating profusely, feeling that his hands were hot, and it was really physically exhausting to constantly twitch the rattan quickly, but when he heard Xu Xingguo say that there was a play, he suddenly became energetic again.
"Not yet, but it looks like it's smoking." Xu Xingguo said, "Do you want to change me?" β
"No, I'm afraid that after I stop, I will ......," said solemnly, "It's cold again." β
He began to pull the rattan back and forth desperately.
Suddenly, the rattan snapped and broke!
"Holy shit!" Zhuang Zhuang was dumbfounded, he only cut one rattan just now, and he actually forgot to cut one more.
Now, before the fire is lit, the rattan breaks first.
Go to the rattan again, and turn around and start again......
Almost in despair, he stepped aside and crouched down.
Finished.
I'm really going to drink cold water and nibble on compressed biscuits tonight......
In the distance, Luo Xiaoming kept staring at the solemn gaze, and when he saw the rattan breaking, he couldn't help but shake his head, and said to Qian Zhongjun, the eighth squad leader next to him, with a smile: "A recruit is a recruit, and I always think that it is really easy to survive in the wild." β
Qian Zhongjun opened a box of cans with the bayonet of the 81 automatic rifle, put it on the fire, and said: "It's only the first day, the novelty is still there, and they have only walked 40 kilometers, and now it is only the periphery of the mountains, and it will not be so easy for them to start tomorrow." β
Pei Quan, the ninth squad leader, said: "Our brigade doesn't even give matches, is it too much for the recruits?" β
"Strict requirements, we didn't have matches back then, did we?" Luo Xiaoming said.
Qian Zhongjun suddenly said, "Huh? You seeβ"
Luo Xiaoming looked in the direction pointed by Qian Zhongjun and found that it was solemn.
Zhuang Yan did not squat on the ground and sigh at this moment, but lay down next to the wood and blew into the cracks of the wood.
"Lao Xu, hurry up and bring me more hay! It's going to be on fire! β
Qian Zhongjun looked at Luo Xiaoming and said with a smile: "Don't say it, those recruits under your command are okay!" The fire was lit. β
Luo Xiaoming poked a sharpened branch into the canned food box, picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth, nodded slightly, and did not speak.
When Zhuang Zheng was desperate just now, Xu Xingguo, who had been observing the progress, suddenly shouted: "I see Mars!" β
Majestically bounced off the ground and lay down in front of the trunk.
In sight, the hay in the crack has really appeared some sparks, although not much, but there are there.
In the darkness of nightfall, this little bit of spark was so dazzling, and solemnly felt that it was the most beautiful color he had ever seen.
The hay was soon delivered, and the fire began to burn.
Majestically watched as the lovely flame of the fairy danced in the hearth of the smoke stove, and he sat down on the ground, almost collapsed.
During the day today, I only ate two compressed biscuits.
Although the packaging of this thing has a variety of rich ingredients, just two small biscuits support 40 kilometers of mountain roads, plus the fierce operation of coming here, it has already been exhausted.
He now felt that even if he had a cow in front of him, he could eat it.
The smoke stove has also been completed, and the tent has been set up, so it depends on what surprising things Wang Jie and Zhang Jinhao's group of people who are responsible for finding food can bring back.
If you can catch a hare or pheasant, teal or something like that, it would be so beautiful!
