Chapter 52: The Temperature Rises
The sky was cloudless, and in the mountains that stretched, small figures walked on the snow, and occasionally a cold wind blew, and flying snowflakes fell on the shoulders of the figures.
Bi Fang patted his shoulder, and the snow accumulated on his shoulders fell, the weather was cold enough, not to mention that the snowflakes fell on his clothes, even if they fell on people's faces, they would not melt immediately.
After walking in the snow forest for more than an hour, he was also a little overwhelmed.
Bi Fang stopped, looked at the sun, and squinted slightly.
From just now, he had a sense of foreboding in his heart, as if something big was going to happen.
There is not a trace of clouds in the sky, and it is even a little dark, and the cold wind is significantly smaller than yesterday, and even the temperature is not as cold as yesterday, even if it is close to noon, the temperature rises, but this is a bit exaggerated, right?
Let's hope nothing happens......
Bi Fang prayed inwardly, unzipped his coat to avoid sweating, and rejudged the direction.
Because of the lack of references, it is easy to get lost in the snow forest as well as in the desert, so it is often necessary to stop and re-judge.
Otherwise, what you think is going in a straight line is probably going in circles, because people's legs can't be the same length, so people will turn to one side infinitely, and if you bury your head in the way, it will only become a circle, a huge circle.
"The physical strength consumed by people in the snow is several times that of the same land, and it is not only the difficulty of traveling, but also the loss of heat caused by the cold, so we must not do useless work, and we must ensure the correct direction of progress."
Bi Fang looked back at the mountain range, he had walked for so long, but its size had not changed at all, as if it had been there for thousands of years, across the sky and the earth, and had never changed.
It's really a dead horse running from Wangshan.
Bi Fang glanced at the larch forest that was gradually becoming denser, and his originally anxious heart jumped.
The trees were dense and the leaves on the canopy were still there and not even yellowing, which proved that he was very close to the water source!
"In the woods, if a tree sprouts early or withers late, it means that there is either groundwater or it is very close to a water source!"
Bi Fang quickly ran down the hill, while pricking up his ears to listen carefully for the sound of a stream or waterfall nearby.
About a hundred or two hundred meters, he began to hear some additional sounds......
"Whoa."
It's the water! Right ahead!
Bi Fang's eyes were as bright as stars, and he strode forward, and almost a few dozen meters, he saw a glacier!
[There is really a river! 】
[Damn, God, is this the big guy? ] Shivering]
[I feel that Fang Shen is really good, he will not waver in one direction, and he can always find what he is looking for]
[This is called self-confidence, I don't have any ability, I really think I can survive in the wilderness? ] Catch the ducks on the shelves, it looks fake. 】
[Lu Wentao: Don't read my ID card! ] 】
Both sides of the glacier are gray rocks, with a layer of snow on the top and a layer of water underneath, which has been repeatedly thawed and frosted day and night, and has condensed into a thick layer of ice ballast, which is not only cold and piercing to the touch, but also extremely smooth.
The whole river flows from northeast to southwest, and the width is only three or four meters, but Bi Fang estimates that the river should have a main trunk, and if he can find it, he may be able to find a way out along the river like last time.
You must know that since the establishment of the country, a large number of sleepers needed for the construction of railways have been produced in the Great Khing'an Mountains. At its peak, three and a half out of every 10 pieces of wood in the country were produced here.
It can be said that every family is inseparable from Daxinganling.
The problem with this is that after so many years of development, there are almost no primeval forest resources left in Xing'anling, except for places as close to the border as Mohe.
Plantations and secondary forests are widely distributed, and there are many rangers, so it should be much easier to follow the river this time than before.
[I rub, so much? Isn't this bald yet? 】
[Mother, Xing'anling is so big. 】
[Suddenly I feel that human beings are too good......]
Bi Fang walked along the riverbank, keeping an eye on the river.
The bottom of the flowing river was not full of mud and sand, but was full of rocks, which made his search difficult, which made Bi Fang a little anxious, and he looked up at the sky again, hoping that his previous guess was wrong......
"Unlike mammals, amphibians, and reptiles that are completely paralyzed in winter, fish do not hibernate in the true sense of the word, they just reduce or even stop eating, and their breathing becomes weak, and they usually hide between aquatic weeds or crevices in rocks."
"Even though fish don't hibernate, they can still become very 'sluggish', and if we don't have a fishing rod, we can make a spear that can stab a fish relatively easily, even if we don't have experience."
[Won't the fish freeze to death when it's so cold?] 】
[Laughing to death, how is it possible, according to what you say, isn't it that the Black Dragon River and the Yalu River are all fished? Where it must not be minus ten or twenty degrees that winter? 】
"You don't have to worry about this at all, the body of the fish contains a special "antifreeze glycoprotein", even if it is below zero, their bodies will not freeze, and we generally divide the fish into three categories, cold water, warm water, and warm water, these three kinds of fish tolerate different temperatures, like the grass carp and silver carp we often eat is warm. ”
Bi Fang held a knife in one hand, and sharpened the end of the long wooden stick he had picked up earlier in the other to make a simple spear.
It has to be said that humans are indeed very tool-dependent animals, and although flint is sharp, it is far less useful than machined knives.
"Fish that can live in high latitudes are generally cold-water fish, which can withstand low temperatures of minus 20 °, but can not withstand high temperatures of minus 20 °, and are generally in China's Heilong River and Yalu River, such as rainbow trout, Da's sturgeon, black-backed loach, and salmon are cold-water fish."
[Cow, cow, I learned again. 】
[Little Sunflower Daddy is starting class! ] 】
[I like to watch Fang Shen's live broadcast, not for anything else, just to learn something, so that I can brag to others! ] 】
[Upstairs God, exactly the same as I thought, the last time I went camping with my colleagues, I told them how to find the river, all of them were confused, and the look at me still can't be forgotten! 】
[Pete Doesn't Gift to the Streamer's Spaceship*1 - Praise the Streamer's Knowledge!] 】
[I don't see the yacht presented to the anchor *1 - I learned it, so I'm going to pretend, no, it's a manifestation in front of people! ] 】
Bi Fang watched the lively live broadcast, and he also smiled, and it was one of his purposes to let everyone learn something in addition to the live broadcast.
"In a flowing river like this, we can look for places where there is a strong current to pass through, such as a bend, where the fish will stay near the whirlpool, especially in winter, because of the fluidity of the river, where the oxygen content is highest, which is perfect for the 'sluggish' fish to breathe!"
Bi Fang followed the river, and finally found a place with a large river curvature, stood on a rock, and carefully looked at the bottom of the river.
Because it is a corner, the mouth of the river is piled up with sediment, which is convenient for some small fish and shrimp to hide, and the small fish and shrimp further attract big fish, which is an excellent hunting spot!
If nothing else, I'll be able to eat fish this time!
