It was already getting late, and most of them were hesitant to starve for the rest of the night, waiting until dawn the next day before they left.

Bi Fang was supposed to prepare the shelter two hours before dark, but when he saw the mountains close at hand, he was impulsive.

He was so hungry, even in the wilderness, he had never been so hungry, and people were always not too rational in extreme hunger.

After three days of not eating, coupled with the heat taken away by the cold, Bi Fang was undoubtedly more hungry than the normal temperature.

A shriveled stomach pouch occupies the high ground of IQ.

Of course, without a complete occupation, Bi Fang was still quite sensible.

His strong eyesight allowed him to see farther and farther, and he had a better grasp of distance, and he had a hunch that he would arrive before dark.

Fortunately, Bi Fang made the right bet.

It's not even half an hour before it gets dark, no, a quarter of an hour is in doubt!

Ninety percent of the world's people have the impression that the Arctic Ocean leaves in their minds is icy and snowy, and the colors are monotonous.

Indeed, due to the harsh climate, the Arctic Ocean region is indeed not popular with plants, and it is difficult to see red flowers and green trees.

The vegetation of the island is mainly mosses and lichens, and some of the southern islands are rich in hardy herbs and small shrubs, but this does not mean that the area is lifeless and barren.

On the contrary, the Arctic Ocean is a paradise for many animals, such as the famous polar bear, seals, arctic foxes, reindeer, snow hares, whales, herring, cod, etc., and many birds along the coast of Siberia in summer.

In fact, the potential of living beings is extremely huge, even in the north and south poles, no matter how harsh the environment, they can always occupy a place and successfully survive.

Even if Bi Fang walked nearly 3,000 vast ice fields, there would essentially be arctic foxes and polar bears, but because there was no underlying food chain, Bi Fang didn't see a single one of them.

"There seems to be no food inside the polar regions, but just look for it."

"In this remote place, animals are rarely disturbed by humans, so sometimes it's not difficult to catch them."

"Penguins, for example, of course, are only found near the Antarctic Circle, and I'm just giving you an example, many early explorers used them for food, and I heard that penguin meat is a bit of an intermediate flavor of beef and lamb, and there is a clear hierarchy of fat and lean meat."

"There are also rabbits and lemmings, foxes and wolves, reindeer, musk oxen, Arctic reindeer, elk and moose, seals, seals have a lot of fat, but they are large and sometimes aggressive. Finally, there are polar bears, which are best not to touch – they are very large and usually aggressive. ”

[I think if I go to the North Pole, even if I really have to take emergency refuge, it is unlikely that I will be able to beat it......]

[Polar bear: Thank you for the winter warmth sent by Lao Tie, I am worried about the lack of rations, and there are three bear cubs to raise at home, thank you for your kindness! 】

[Be confident, normal people can't walk out of that ice field, I don't know the direction at all, if I were on the ice field for dozens of kilometers, I would only spin around like a headless fly, and I would have frozen to death]

But in this situation, it is impossible to catch animals.

Time is not allowed, it is impossible for Bi Fang to find the beast path in ten minutes, and it is impossible to set up traps, and it is even more impossible to hunt, unless you wait for the rabbit, it would be good to eat some grass.

Bi Fang's purpose is also some plants.

"Most of the plants in the polar regions are edible, they can usually be peeled, dried and boiled, they can also be added to boiled tea, some can be eaten raw, and some are rich in trace elements to supplement the body's needs."

"For example, the bark of the polar willow, the young shoots, and the newly grown roots are edible and rich in vitamin C."

"Litmus can be boiled or soaked. Lichens and mosses on rocks are mostly edible, lichens and mosses are good food sources, but not in large quantities, and should be cooked or roasted before eating, and do not eat a lot at one time. Stone fungus is the best ingredient and can also be eaten raw. ”

"Spruce and pine needles, shoots and bark can be boiled and eaten, and the Chinese Volunteers relied on pine needles to make tea and solve night blindness, so that they could repeatedly fight beautiful battles at night."

"Then there's lingonberry, a red berry that's packed with nutrients and leaves that can be boiled or roasted, and wild yellow berries, which are golden berries that are high in vitamin C and can be used to make tea."

"If you have the materials to make a fire, such as wood, plants, or animal fat, then you can make a fire so that you can cook, but it's difficult, without enough time and luck, and you hardly have to think about it, don't expect to find branches for fire as easily as you can at low latitudes."

"But lichens and mosses are still easy to find on the bare rocks, reindeer and so on for their lives, and 300 species of lichen and 600 species of moss have been found on record in Greenland. In 1954, spores of bacteria and fungi were also found at a depth of 3,400 meters on the Arctic Ocean floor. ”

Bi Fang knelt on one knee in the snow, and pulled the rock in front of him with both hands, sweeping the snow away, revealing a cold, smooth stone surface that did not seem to have the moss and lichen he had mentioned.

But Bi Fang did not give up, scraped the snow between the stones and the frozen soil, and a faint green finally appeared in front of everyone.

There really are plants!

The audience was shocked.

Greenland is pristine, and every mountain you see here is hundreds of millions of years old, and the ice floes are thousands of years old.

It has been a mythical realm since ancient times, and this distant island has become a source of all fantasy and mystery.

The dazzling aurora borealis, the endless tundra, the shimmering icicles, the eerie icebergs, and the near-extreme cold and barely spoken Inuit are as pure as a fairy tale.

But that's for travelers, and for survivors, it's a cold hell.

But even in a snow-white world, there are still green plants growing tenaciously in the cracks.

What does it live on?

At a low temperature of tens of degrees below zero, the cell fluid is frozen, right?

[In other words, why are polar plants evergreens instead?] I think it's mostly green.]

[, when you say that, it seems like this, shouldn't high latitudes be seasonal? 】

"Because the polar regions are bryophytes, also called tundra, they are biomes that grow on cold permafrost, and they are biomes in extreme environments. There are many special adaptations to the harsh environments of the polar regions. ”

"For example, the stems and leaves of these plants are tightly attached to the ground, which can withstand the pressure of snow cover, and as long as there is a short period of warm weather each year, the plants will sprout immediately, and the process of growth, flowering and fruiting can be completed in two months."

"And evergreen is to better absorb sunlight, there is no change of the four seasons here, half a year day, half a year Chinese New Year's Eve night, evergreen plants can survive is already good, where there is a seasonal change."

"The falling leaves of trees and rising leaves are for better reservoir energy, and it is not easy for polar plants to survive, let alone store energy, so they grow very slowly."

Bi Fang directly picked the young leaves and stuffed them into his mouth, as if chewing ice cubes, there was no taste, no feeling, and quickly entered the stomach.

Although it is best to cook moss once, the current Bifang has no conditions at all, and it would be good to be able to pad his stomach.

Bi Fang is confident in his digestive ability.
