Chapter 482: Genetic Instinct
If nothing else, there was an accident.
The simple rainproof shelter was directly washed away by the heavy rain, and a large number of palm leaves poured down with the rain, but fortunately, at the moment of the break, the rain poured, Bi Fang jumped out in advance.
Dressed in a simple raincoat made of green palm leaves, Bi Fang kept his huge hat on top of his head.
In less than half an hour, Bi Fang successfully made a coat and a hat, which looked quite like that.
It's just that the color is a little weirder, different from the usual tawny, Bi Fang's body is pure green, and the rain flows down the fresh palm leaves like small columns of water, dripping on the straw sandals.
"Actually, the production of temporary raincoats is not so difficult." Bi Fang lifted the brim of his hat to look at the road, and the rain slid down behind him, and dripped on the ground along the lines.
Temporary raincoats don't have to worry about durability and storage, as long as they can keep out the rain, the start of the knitting is done.
Bi Fang encloses the palm leaves in a circle, leaving a part of the gap in the middle, enough to fit into the head, and then binds all the petioles together with a thread twisted from brown velvet to cover the whole body roughly, and then repeats it several times, several superimposed.
Several layers of thin raincoats cross each other and are superimposed to form a thick raincoat, and then weave them tighter between the two pairs, tie them accordingly, complement each other, and it will be difficult for rainwater to come in.
As for the hats, they were made by Bi Fang by weaving baskets.
Collect six flexible branches, make a cut in the middle of the three branches, and insert the other three branches to form a simple cross.
The place where the cross contact is inserted should be tied and fixed with a string twice, and every third should be tightly wound once, and the four directions of the cross should be done again in each direction to avoid displacement and breakage.
After that, a large number of rattan can be used to tie up in two, and the cross, a total of sixteen branches, can be extended, evenly spread, and a complete skeleton is formed.
By controlling the distance between the branches, you can also make them form a certain arc, and you can create a funnel-shaped hat, of course, this still cannot be fixed on the head.
Therefore, it is necessary to insert the branch from the gap in the initial place to form a hat band to hang down, so that after wearing it, it can be stuck in the main jaw through the hat band, so as to achieve the purpose of fixation.
The common hats in the countryside are also made in this way, and the structure of Bifang is not different from theirs, but it is rougher, but on the surface, it is no different.
As for rain protection, with the skeleton, rain protection is much simpler, the skeleton itself is very densely woven, and a layer of bundled palm leaves is laid on it, and the edge is built slightly.
Perfect.
"It's very heavy to wear, and it can't be stored for a long time, and it may rot in two or three days."
In order to have a better rainproof effect, Bi Fang stacked several layers of the coat, which was very thick, resulting in an increase in weight, but the effect was very good.
Walking in the rainforest at the moment, it has been completely cut off from the rain outside.
[New skin, as long as 998, Rainforest Walker to take home!] γ
γAll greenγ
[Grass skirt is not enough, but also add grass coat and straw hat! ] γ
With a large basket of iron bacteria, Bi Fang suddenly had plenty of time again.
Because the most difficult part of ironmaking is undoubtedly finding materials.
At the beginning, Bi Fang planned to spend three days looking for materials, but now these three days are saved all at once, and he can do a lot of things.
At least you don't have to give up the salt mine in a hurry, you can extend the time and go back on the ninth or even the tenth day.
[Fang Shen: This kind of psychology is taboo in the wilderness, don't have a fluke mentality, if you haven't gained anything today, I will return to the same place. γ
[Hahaha, laughing to death]
[You know, plans can't keep up with changes, such a decision is reasonable! Doghead Protector
......
Day 8.
The sky was still overcast.
Bi Fang temporarily built a single-slope shelter, and when he woke up, he found that the rain was still falling, and the surrounding area was full of puddles.
Although the rain was much lighter than the first time, it was also more continuous, and it did not stop for a night, and even had a tendency to continue.
Bi Fang stroked the hat, put down the bark frame, and lifted the lid, which was empty, leaving only a pile of yellow mud composed of iron bacteria, and suddenly felt tricky.
No food!
The grubs I found before have all been eaten, and when I barbecue it, it tastes very weird and has a very strange taste, and it will burst pulp, and the taste is unexpectedly good.
The tubers of konjac are gone, and the last thing left is only a few handfuls of lemongrass picked on the road, but this thing can only be used as a condiment, not as a meal!
[The landlord's house has no room left]
[On this rainy day, where to find something to eat?] γ
Scratching his head, Bi Fang looked around, and he didn't know when the rain would stop, so he simply sat in the shelter, reduced energy consumption, and chatted with the audience.
"When it rains lightly, many large animals generally don't dodge, what to do, and only when it rains heavily, will they move."
"When there is nowhere to hide during heavy rains, animals like giraffes, elephants and bison tend to stay put, because strenuous exercise can lead to rapid heat loss."
"So it's better to do nothing and quietly enjoy this rare tranquility, in the rainstorm, even lions, tigers and other carnivores will temporarily give up hunting, and almost all animals will let their guard down."
[That's why you're hiding in a shelter and being lazy?] γ
[Good guy, no wonder I don't want to move when it rains, it turns out that I am a beast in my bones]
[Woo, woo, woo, wild awakening]
[That's why you don't go to work?] γ
"I'm basically only talking about mammals, and not all animals are like this, for example, rainy days are the peak of many snake activities." Bi Fang changed his position and lay directly on the ground.
The temperature has risen a lot in the past two days, but it is not as cold as the first rain, and the clothes are draped on the body to further keep warm.
[Why?] γ
"The snake is my lifelong enemy!" How could there be such a terrible creature in the world? γ
"Because the air pressure is very low before and after the rain, the cave will be very stuffy, and when it rains, frogs and rats will come out, and it will be easier for it to fill its stomach."
Bi Fang is also afraid of snakes, slippery and greasy, full of parasites, and very good at camouflage, many of them are still highly poisonous, it is good to find it in advance, if it is not discovered in advance......
Hit gg directly.
Moreover, the fear of snakes is actually a biological instinct.
"Our ancestors were prey to carnivorous mammals and birds of prey a long time ago, and of course, that was a very long time ago, long before humans were human."
Bi Fang's gaze seemed to become deeper.
"Thankfully, at that time we evolved a system that could identify predators and quickly locate general threats to help them escape, but when the snake appeared as the first predator, the system completely failed."
"Because they look like sticks, there is no other predator like a snake, with the help of the rib muscles and abdominal scales that move like a snake, and can get close to unsuspecting prey as long as they change to a camouflage color."
[After that, after that?] γ
[It's impossible to be afraid of snakes, it's impossible to be afraid of snakes in this life, you see this is a five-step snake, am I afraid? Watch me put it in minutes]
[I'm afraid of snakes to the point that I'm afraid of even seeing a turtle, because the head and neck of a turtle are very similar to snakes, and when I see the image of a snake in my head, I will shiver and get goosebumps all over my body]
Why do we have to come in when we are afraid of snakes, and why are we afraid of snakes? γ
"Fortunately, in the end, some primates evolved something similar to snake sensors, evolved neurons specifically designed to locate snakes, help primitive monkeys quickly avoid wriggling sticks, and then dodge, and eventually, these things reached humans."
"Observations of human brain waves have shown that when we see a picture of a snake, our brain does a lot of activity to assess the danger than we see pictures of other predators."
Bi Fang still remembers that a professor had talked about this before.
At that time, they were shown two sets of pictures, from blurry to clear, at first almost mosaic, and finally, a clear picture of snakes, a clear picture of felines.
Almost the moment it was released, the first thing everyone noticed was the picture of the snake at the end.
"Our brains need less visual information to distinguish a snake than it does to identify other animals."
That's what the old professor said at the time, and now Bi Fang relays it to the audience in front of the screen.
"Some researchers even believe that we have evolved such an excellent color vision system to help identify snakes."
"There are also studies that show that our sensitivity to snakes makes us more susceptible to fear them, but that's why there are no scientific conclusions yet. But there is no doubt that we have snakes in our heads! β
Bi Fang tapped his temple with his index finger, as if there was really a snake entrenched inside.
[Grandma's, the first thing I know is why I'm so nervous every time I see Fang Shen catching snakes. γ
[Shocked, because of the rain, the outdoor anchor turned into a popular science anchor! ] γ
[By analogy, is this also the reason why I am afraid of long centipedes?] γ
"Maybe."
Bi Fang was noncommittal, stretched out his hand to probe the rain, found that it was much smaller, grabbed the hat and stayed on his head, and walked towards the jungle with his feet.
"Let's go, the rain is a lot lighter, let's go and see if there is anything to eat to fill our stomachs."
