Chapter 13 The scene was very awkward for a while
"It's amazing my brother. ”
"Wow, the anchor is handsome just now!"
"Hey, let the anchor pretend to be perfect again, it's so angry. ”
"666, the anchor leads the show!"
"By the way, is the anchor going to make a fire now?"
"It's easy to start a fire, just a lighter. ”
"Upstairs, the brain is a good thing, I hope you can use it often. ”
"Are you stupid? The anchor said before, only a dagger and a water bottle. ”
...
Glancing at the barrage on his mobile phone, Ye Xuan smiled, "Many people who are in the wilderness may not have fire-making tools around them, so they need to use some more primitive methods to make fires at this time. Now I'm going to teach you a way to make a fire... Fire plough for fire method!"
"It is impossible to verify who first invented the fire plough method. But in today's world, there are still some primitive tribes that still use this ancient method of making fire. In principle, the fire plough is an optimized and advanced version of drilling wood for fire, which is more efficient, more labor-saving and simpler than drilling wood for fire. It takes a certain amount of skill to drill wood for fire, but there is almost no skill to speak of for the fire plough method of making fire. Ladies and gentlemen, watch and study hard!"
After pretending to be a little forced and adjusting the atmosphere of the live broadcast room, Ye Xuan picked out a wide piece of wood and a thin wooden stick from the pile of wooden sticks he collected. "The materials that need to be prepared are very simple, a piece of wood that is wide and thick like a plank, a thin stick, and a firestarter. It is believed that except for some special harsh environments, these three things should be found everywhere in the wilderness. First of all, the first step is to dig a shallow groove in the wide wood with a dagger, which is not too long, about 3-5 cm is enough. The second step is to trim one end of the stick so that it can move freely in the groove. ”
As he spoke, Ye Xuan had already sharpened the wide wood and wooden stick in his hand, and after inserting the dagger back into his leg, he was now holding the dead leaves and rubbing them in his hands, and at the same time continued in his mouth: "The third step is to put the kneaded fire starter at the end of the groove. Once all of the above preparations are done, all you need to do is place the stick in the groove and rub it back and forth until there is a burning debris in the groove!"
While quickly rubbing the wooden stick, Ye Xuan also glanced at the barrage on his mobile phone from time to time, and replied: "I saw that some viewers asked, how to prepare if there is no knife? In fact, this is very easy to solve, there are many stones in the wilderness, you can try to pick up some stones and smash them, and you can get sharp stone chips by smashing them a few more times." It may be difficult to hunt and cut down trees, but it is okay to dig a groove in the wood. ”
The fire plough method is the same as drilling wood to make fire, both of which use friction to generate heat. Friction builds up the temperature in the grooves and eventually ignites the sawdust.
"There are a few things to keep in mind when using the fire plough method. Don't put your head too close to each other, as this is a manual task and it can make people sweat. Once your sweat drips from your face and falls into the grooves, all the preparation is in vain. Ye Xuan said, wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, and then continued to rub quickly, "The other thing is that the speed of rubbing should not be too slow, otherwise the temperature will not be able to maintain and accumulate." ”
When he watched the video at home, Ye Xuan felt that it should be easy to start a fire like this. But after the actual operation, I found that it was much more tiring than I imagined. Especially under the continuous high-speed rubbing, his two arms began to be sore, and the key is that he can't stop at this time, otherwise the previous efforts will be in vain.
As the clock ticked by, the night began to envelop the rainforest.
The drone is equipped with a camera that automatically turns on the night vision mode when it senses a change in light. This scene surprised the audience in the live broadcast room and praised the conscientious anchor. Nowadays, on major live broadcast platforms, outdoor anchors are almost all holding mobile phones to broadcast live, and it is the first time for the audience to experience such advanced live broadcast equipment.
The humidity in the rainforest is too high, and under normal circumstances, it would take about ten minutes to burn debris with such a high frequency of rubbing, but now it takes more than half an hour.
Looking at the burning debris emitting sparkling light in the groove, Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, an excited smile appeared on his face, and after shaking his somewhat sore arm, he saw him carefully use a wooden stick to dial the burning debris into the ignition.
Pick up the ignition lightly, slowly blow into it, and take advantage of the interval between ventilation, and don't forget to say to the live camera: "Ladies and gentlemen, this link is very important, and the ignition can't be held too hard in your hand, otherwise the burning chips will be extinguished." At the same time, it should not be too loose, as the void will be too large and the debris will fall out of the ignition. You can think of the ignition as a butterfly, and you can't let it escape, and you can't let it get hurt. The scale of this needs to be experienced first-hand to truly grasp. ”
As he continued to blow, wisps of smoke began to drift from inside the fire.
Seeing the smoke appear, Ye Xuan's face became even more excited, and he puffed out his mouth and continued to blow.
But the next scene made his brows gradually furrow. The ignition is not as seen in the video, the smoke gradually thickens, and eventually flames appear. Instead, it became smaller and smaller, and eventually disappeared completely.
Looking at the ignition object, I don't know when the burning chips have been extinguished...
How so?
Ye Xuan frowned, recalling the steps he had just taken to make a fire, and found that there was no problem. Since the operation steps are correct, the problem should be the material.
Thinking of this, his eyes slowly fell on the ignition in his hand, and after carefully touching it, he found that these dry and dry dead leaves were actually still a little damp.
"It's embarrassing! There's so much humidity in this rainforest that there's no dry ignition to be found. Throwing away the ignition in his hand, Ye Xuan scratched his head helplessly.
Originally, the audience in the live broadcast room was expecting him to raise a bonfire, but they didn't expect this to be the result. For a while, the black barrage instantly submerged the live broadcast screen.
"You seem to be deliberately trying to make me laugh. ”
"This story teaches us that there is a price to be paid for pretending. ”
"Look and study, are you sure you're not kidding me?"
"I didn't feel a fluctuation in my heart, and I even wanted to laugh a little. ”
"You think I'm going to sympathize with you?" I almost laughed!"
"2333, the scene was very embarrassing for a while..."
"No, the smiling Lao Tzu's prostate hurts. ”
"666, full marks for the program effect. ”
By now, the sky has completely darkened, and only a vague general scene can be seen in the field of vision. Originally, he wanted to get off to a perfect start, but now it seems that he is thinking too much. As a novice rookie, there's still a lot to learn.
If he had enough experience, he would have known that the current environment would not be able to raise a campfire at all, and that he should spend the rest of his time just now looking for food and fresh water. As a result, there is no fresh water, no food, and no campfires. Moreover, in the process of making a fire, a lot of physical strength and water are consumed in vain.
And all this is the result of inexperience.
After sighing, he picked up his backpack and followed the vines all the way up the tree.
