Chapter 12 The Legendary Drill Wood for Fire
[Liarious, right? How can a cold be fatal? γ
[That is, it's okay to go without medicine for a week or two? γ
[Even for the sake of the show, it can't be exaggerated! ] γ
"I didn't lie to you."
Bi Fang shook his head: "Everyone has no outdoor experience, in fact, this kind of truth can be understood after a little thought, the wilderness is not as good as the city, and any unexpected situation here may cause a series of serious consequences." β
"Diarrhea, colds, this seemingly ordinary minor ailment, the harm will be infinitely magnified."
"A small cold can make you hypothermic, weak, and weak, and in this case you will have difficulty finding water and food, and if you can't replenish it, you will be even weaker, and then the disadvantage will snowball until you completely pin your hope of survival on God."
[Well, you managed to convince me]
[I admit that I am superficial]
"Just remember, if you really go to the wilderness in the future, don't ignore anything."
As Bi Fangzheng spoke, he picked up a sharp stone in his hand and dug a small pit one meter in front of the shack: "If you want to make a fire, the first thing is to choose a location." β
He measured the distance from the pit to the shack.
"That's just the right distance, the heat can enter the shelter without getting too close to the smoke to interfere with sleep or cause poisoning, and most importantly, to drive away wild beasts!"
"The night is the time when the beasts are most active, and having a fire at this time allows us to spend a safe enough night without worrying about being bitten by poisonous snakes or eaten by bears at night."
[emmm, scare the audience, Fangshen is traditional]
[This is true, there used to be a person in our village who was drunk at night and slept directly in the field, and that night there was a snake coiled on his chest to keep warm, and the next day this person woke up and alarmed the snake, and was bitten on the face, fortunately it was not poisonous, otherwise it would be gone! γ
[Don't be so scary, okay? γ
[But the question is how to make a fire?] Fang Shen didn't bring anything]
yes, nothing, how to make a fire?
Many viewers are curious about what method Bi Fang will use to make a fire.
From the start of the broadcast to the present, Bi Fang's series of operations have conquered the audience, and now they are all full of expectations, and none of them want to miss this opportunity.
"It's true that I didn't have a lighter or flint, but even so, I still have a lot of ways to make a fire, for example, by drilling wood to make a fire!"
[Drill wood for fire? I always thought it was fake? γ
[I thought it was a legend!] γ
[It's a miracle! γ
[Sit back and wait for Fang Shen to make a fire, and the rocket will be delivered! ] γ
[There are so many local tyrants today! γ
The sun was about to set, Bi Fang did not look at the barrage again, and the instructor had a good saying, we must despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically.
Although he said it simply, the technical content of drilling wood for fire is actually very high and must be taken seriously.
Bi Fang glanced around, then selected a few branches from the dead wood that served as a support, and found a few burdock roots nearby, and broke one directly.
"There are three kinds of drilling wood for fire, bow drilling, hand drilling, pump drilling, and today I am demonstrating the hand drilling method, which is also the version that most people have heard of."
"The forest environment is not as good as swamps and rainforests, where most of the dead wood is dry and can be used directly, and the most important thing to drill wood for fire is a dry enough drill plate, a harder drill bit, and fire velvet."
Placing a thick piece of wood on the ground, Bi Fang carefully cut a hole with a sharp stone that was not rounded.
"There are many details of drilling wood for fire, but it is not just a simple friction to generate heat, the drill plate must first open a hole, the shape does not matter, just jam the drill bit, otherwise it is difficult to gather heat."
"The drill bit needs to be hard and smooth, in the field, we can pinch it with our fingernails to test the hardness, and it is not easy to leave a mark to be qualified, so I chose this burdock on my hand, it has a hard lignified stem, and the skin is very smooth, not easy to grind the palm."
"The last is the velvet, the velvet is the most important, this is the key to whether you can make a fire, without it, unless you are born with a unicorn arm, it is difficult to catch fire."
As he spoke, Bi Fang rubbed a stone against the surface of a thin dead wood and one end of the burdock, and soon strands of wood fell off it, and one end of the burdock quickly sharpened.
His expression was serious and reverent, like that of a master polishing jade.
Although the blue wilderness survival skills are very strong, it is also the first time he has done it to drill wood for fire, and if he doesn't succeed, he will be embarrassed.
Not to mention the loss of audiences, most of the previous character creation of wilderness experts has also been completely ineffective.
Therefore, in order to ensure a success rate, the preparation must be complete.
Bi Fang gathered the velvet into a bird's nest shape, piled it at the hole of the drill plate, stepped on the drill plate with his foot, trying not to shake it, and then inserted the burdock that had been peeled off and became smooth, and finally took a deep breath, clamped the burdock with both hands, and began to rotate at high speed repeatedly.
"Snort!"
The grinding sound of burdock drilling is very clear.
"As long as you can bring out the spark by drilling wood and ignite the velvet, the fire will soon be born."
Bi Fang rubbed hard, the green tendons on his hands burst out, from the beginning of the jerky, quickly became proficient, and the rough holes were also ground a lot smoother, forming a virtuous circle.
"Snort!"
The sound of friction was endless, but time passed minute by minute, but no spark appeared, which couldn't help but make the audience impatient.
[It feels so hard, it's been ten minutes, and this sweat has come out, it's really a lie, right? ] γ
[Fang Shen who lives in the wilderness is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? γ
[Come on! γ
Bi Fang was like an old monk in his mind, his attention was all on the drill wood in front of him, and he didn't care about the mocking audience at all.
Soon another ten minutes passed, and many viewers had sour eyes.
Eventually, a faint smell of burnt smell wafted up, then thickened and thickened, and finally rose up into a wisp of green smoke!
Suddenly, the audience was in high spirits.
[Damn, it's smoking!] γ
[What are you waiting for, the gift is gone.] γ
[Brothers, rush and rush! γ
γAll the fish balls are given to youγ
Seeing the smoke rising, Bi Fang's eyes were full of joy, and he accelerated his speed again, exerting more pressure, the smoke came out, will Mars be far away?
In the next second, a few red grains of light splashed.
It's Mars!
Really!
The great excitement filled the heart, Bi Fang hurriedly lay down, gathered the velvet, and blew slowly to speed up the air flow and improve the oxygen contact surface.
The green smoke turned into thick smoke, and the smoke became more and more, making people cry, but even so, he didn't dodge.
One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, this failure, the next is difficult.
The huge sun wheel is about to sink under the sea of forests, and the last light burns the clouds in the sky into a fiery red, like flames.
Maybe in a few minutes, it'll be completely dark.
In the live broadcast room, only the sound of Bi Fang's slow blowing was left.
Everyone stared intently at the smoke and the gathering of velvets.
One second.
Two seconds.
β¦β¦
Thick smoke shrouded in a flash of red light.
[Damn, flash, flash! ] γ
γShipped! γ
Bi Fang hurriedly gathered the dead leaves, watched a little flame spread, getting bigger and bigger, and finally ......
Disheveled!
The flame burns.
At this moment, the sun set, and the overwhelming darkness swept the whole world, but as if the light was handed over, there was always a firelight, illuminating Bi Fang's joyful face.
[--You got a campfire stand]
