Chapter 189: Fetch Water
"It's a gopher, the only mild-tempered creature in the desert. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info It is good at digging holes and is able to go tens of meters deep into the ground to get water. And interestingly, it has a unique method of storing water. β
Zheng Guo walked to the kettle with the goggler, poured out all the urine inside, and then turned the goggler upside down, dragged its tail with one hand, so that its pointed mouth was facing the mouth of the kettle, and pressed it a certain part of its belly.
The goggle cooed, and then a clear stream flowed out of its mouth and poured into the kettle.
The audience couldn't help but have a groan in their hearts.
What kind of operation is this?!
It took almost a minute for the water to slowly stop. Its round belly had gone flat.
And the kettle is already two-thirds filled with water.
"The gopher has a special water-storing organ, a bladder-like sac-like structure that can store nearly two litres of water at a time. When it needs to be hydrated, it can be taken directly from the pouch. Moreover, the water passes through the outer diaphragm, and even microorganisms such as bacteria are filtered out, which is absolutely clean. β
Zheng Guo raised the kettle and took a sip of the hard-won water.
Don't drink too fast, otherwise it will cause gastrointestinal upset and cause vomiting.
Slightly warm water flows through the throat and into the stomach and intestines.
I have to say that water is really the source of life!
If it weren't for the lack of literary talent, Zheng Guo really wanted to praise a poem.
The cells in the whole body seemed to come to life, and the brain became much more awake in an instant.
There is a feeling of rejuvenation.
When you have your fill, there is not much water left in the pot.
Of course, his purpose was not only for this little water, after all, after drinking it, it was gone.
His real purpose is to get this gopher to help him find water, and solve the next water problem once and for all.
"Is this all right? I'm stupid, don't lie to me. β?βοΌ β
"It feels unlikely."
"Let it help find water? It's a bit whimsical. β
β¦β¦
Zheng Guo took out the rope from his backpack, wrapped one end of the rope around the wrivet's neck, tied a live buckle, and then put it on the ground.
When the whiggling hit the ground, he thought he was free and jumped out with a whoosh.
With no water in its body, it loses at least a third of its weight, so its bouncing power is greatly increased.
Kick your legs, and suddenly run out for several meters!
However, halfway through, he was strangled by a taut rope.
Poof, four feet to the sky.
It immediately got up and tried to jump forward several more times, but all failed, knowing that there was no hope of escape, it finally resigned itself to its fate, squatting not far away and watching Zheng Guo.
The eyes are the window through which living beings communicate with the outside world, and from this window, the true emotions hidden under the exterior can often be seen. But its window is a bit small, and you can't see anything, maybe resentment, maybe fear, in short, it's certainly not a good mood.
Negative emotions mean negativity, and negativity strikes.
So if you want it to help find water, it's not enough to restrain it like it is now, you have to go one step closer.
Zheng Guo has learned animal taming, although his level is not high, but at least he knows the basic theory.
There are many ways to tame animals, which seem to be complicated, but in fact, they are all the same, and they are nothing more than using the three instincts of animals: eating, sex (for creatures of both sexes), and seeking advantages and avoiding harms.
At the moment, although Zheng Guo can't satisfy its sexual needs, he can use the other two instincts.
That's what he did when he tamed crayfish in the first place.
The first is to show strength and restrain it with violence. Driven by the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, it does not dare to resist and enters the stage of non-violent non-cooperation.
That's the current state of this waffling mole.
Then tempt it with food, train it to behave, and make it establish a set of feedback patterns for instructions.
Crayfish are more intelligent, or more unprincipled, and their resistance to food is about equal to zero, and they quickly abandoned the dignity of wild animals under the temptation of food and joined Zheng Guo's command.
This time should be much easier than the last time.
Because Zheng Guo doesn't need to really tame this goggle, he just needs to eliminate its hostility, in other words, to get along with it.
As for the task of finding underground water sources, it will naturally be driven by instinct.
β¦β¦
Gobblings are omnivores.
(In fact, almost all the creatures in this desert are omnivorous, and the food resources are already scarce, so you can be picky eaters?) οΌ
Zheng Guo tore off a piece of barbecue meat and threw it in front of it.
It immediately took one bite and swallowed it in two of three bites.
Zheng Guo threw another piece over.
It ate again.
The third time, Zheng Guo didn't throw it over, but took it in his hand and beckoned it over.
I thought that this guy would not give in easily, but I didn't expect it to jump in this way without hesitation while chewing on the remaining food in its mouth.
Stopped at Zheng Guo's feet, looked up at him, and the short tail was still swinging.
It seems that this product is not much stronger than crayfish, and it is also unethical in front of food.
In fact, it is not too surprising, it has to do with their living environment.
Both of them live in a barren and cruel environment, and it is extremely difficult for them to find food, let alone eat, and they have to thank Mother Nature if they do not starve to death.
So food is bigger than heaven for them.
Delicious food is delivered to them, where is there no reason not to eat.
After a few feedings, the goggler had relaxed his vigilance against Zheng Guo and jumped around him, looking completely hostile.
"Sailors, this should be fine, let's test it next."
Zheng Guo led it to the bushes from before.
When the gopher got to the bush, it seemed to sense something at once, and immediately jumped over, arching its pointed beak on the ground a few times, and plunging its front paws into the sand, digging both paws together.
For a while, the sand was flying.
It dug and drilled in, and soon got inside.
In the shot, I only see a half-meter-deep sand pit, and the sand on the surface is still slightly shaking at first, and then gradually subsided.
Zheng Guo stood on the edge of the shallow pit, holding one end of the rope in his hand and the other end tied to the gopher.
The part of the rope that is exposed to the ground continues to be shortened, indicating that the goggles are continuing to move downward.
Judging by the bushes here, the groundwater is not too deep, it should not exceed ten meters.
After five minutes, the rope didn't move.
This means that the diggers have stopped.
It's time to get to your destination.
Judging by the length of the remaining ropes, the goggles dug down about seven or eight meters in total, which is about the same depth as expected.
Zheng Guo held the rope and waited patiently as if he were fishing.
Sailors have little confidence in this.
"Will it really come up with water?"
"It always feels unlikely."
"How can there be such a good thing, I must hide below and refuse to come out."
"yes, how can a few pieces of barbecue take it."
β¦β¦
There was a lot of discussion in the live broadcast room, and at this time, sharp-eyed viewers found that the sand in the shallow pit seemed to agitate.
If you look closely, yes, the sand is slightly undulating, and it seems that something is about to come out.
The audience held their breath and stared at the screen.
The amplitude of the ups and downs grew, and suddenlyβ
A gray figure burst out of the ground.
