Chapter 802: Heating Up Quickly (2-in-1)

The desert at night is no better than the desert during the day, it may not be as sunny as the day, nor as boundless as the daytime, but it is the peak of the activity of many dangerous creatures.

Wolves, scorpions, vipers.

The harsher the living environment, the stronger and more lethal the survival skills of the creatures inside it, and the aggression it shows is undoubtedly fatal in the face of humans who have no ability to protect themselves.

However, compared to the harsh environment, the most terrible thing is still the loneliness in the heart. The wider the heavens and the earth, the smaller the human race becomes.

The unobstructed sky reveals its full picture, and the strong sense of emptiness releases the inner loneliness a hundred times.

Everyone's fear is hidden deep in their hearts, which is stirred by the darkness of the night and the infinite galaxy, and almost one after another.

Anyone who is not strong enough in their hearts will be deterred when they face this world alone.

It's a pity that the person who retreats will never be the current Bi Fang, adventure after adventure, as long as there is a little weakness and fear in his heart, his grave will already be covered with grass.

The stars were so bright that they did not affect the travelers' journey at all, and Bi Fang even saw the shadows of himself and his camels on the sand dunes, and the fine silvery white sand under his feet was like bright dry snow, and walking on it was like stepping on a thick woolen blanket.

Camels have thick fur and are naturally not afraid of low temperatures, but Bi Fang feels a trace of cold, and also feels the reality of existence in this cold.

The desert night is soft, the red flames turn into silvery sand, and the shiny Milky Way is almost blown down by the wind.

What wolves, what poisonous scorpions, these can't scare Bi Fang, compared with the arrogant and fiery day of the desert, the starry night of the desert is really gentle and moving.

The valley is full of wind, the sky is full of stars, that kind of silent deep blue, lonely with yearning.

Most of the viewers in the live broadcast room came from Nemo Point, where the starry sky is as bright, but the nature of the northern hemisphere is different from the starry sky of the southern hemisphere, and the desert is different from the ocean after all.

Having crossed half the world, from the ocean to the desert, it's a different kind of flavor.

[It's been a long time since I've seen such a pure starry sky, the last time I saw it was when I was a child, and I ...... with my grandfather]

[This sky is a luxury for everyone who lives in the city.]

[The Qaidam Desert is also good, at first glance, it is Fang Shen's live broadcast to see less (dog head)] [Indeed, step up!! Give the old party a little attention!]

[The old man is not there, and the stars in the sky are left with a different taste.] [yes, that's fucking pretty]

"For thousands of years, we have been obsessed with the majestic sun, the clear moonlight, and the bright stars."

"These mysterious celestial bodies not only signal the change of time and geographical location, but also nourish our endless imagination."

"From the Maya thousands of years ago, who used the naked eye to observe the stars and predict the future, to the present day, we have invented the 'eye in the sky', which can take the human eye to incredible distances."

"We're always trying to learn more about the universe, about the planet we live on, and where we're headed."

I don't know when, Bi Fang had an extra straight wooden stick in his hand to use as a crutch, leading the camel while telling everyone the secret of the starry sky.

It's just that the audience's attention seems to be a little different. Where did this wood come from? [it, it's an artifact stick!]

[By the way, where did this thing come from?] [It's Fang Shen's two-dimensional ass!] [One thing to say, there was no stick last season, Ye Qingjie]

"This?" Bi Fang raised the long stick in his hand, holding the grip out of unexpectedly good, he pointed to the road he had walked before, there were still clear footprints on the gravel, "What I just picked up under the sand over there is hardwood, the length and feel are quite good, it feels quite smooth, so I took it."

"Maybe the traveler dropped it or something," [Don't pick things up] [Ape dung, this is ape dung]

In the early morning of the next day, the silvery sand finally turned into the Gobi, and the ground under his feet turned back into solid ground, and various shrubs could be seen scattered in the sight.

Bi Fang found a boulder as a shelter, checked that there were no poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, cleaned up the nearby gravel, took out a huge wooden nail from his backpack, rummaged through the pile of rubble, found a hammer stone of suitable size, and was about to knock the wooden nail into the ground, but the wooden nail did not enter, and the stone was smashed in half in the first blow.

The gray-white rock cracked in half, slipped from his hand, and fell to the ground with a loud sound. [Stone: I crack] [After playing, Fang Shen found out that he was a superhuman]

[Mighty in the wilderness, terrifying]

"Due to the large temperature difference between day and night, the rocks on the surface of the Sahara will continue to expand and contract and fall apart, and the debris will be weathered into large and small gravel and sand, and the fine sand will be blown lower by the wind to form sand dunes, and the gravel will be left nearby to become the Gobi Desert."

"Sometimes a stone that looks complete on the surface may have many dark lines on the inside, and it will break if it is slightly stressed, so we can just find a new one."

Turning over the gravel, Bi Fang continued to smash, but this time there was no problem.

The wooden stakes, which were nearly half a meter long, were inserted into the soil little by little, and Bi Fang poured some water on the ground in the middle.

"In the past, when building a house in the countryside, some people may have seen the contractor perform all kinds of tricks to help you 'save money', such as the water ramming method."

"Because water is pervasive, after irrigation, the sand, gravel and soil will be tightly combined, and they will use this method to lay the foundation."

"Of course, this is wrong and non-standardized, because after the soil moisture is lost, it will not meet the soil density requirements of the backfill, and there will still be the problem of subsidence after a long time, but we have no problem using it in a short time."

Mixed with water, Bi Fang shook the wooden pillar, which did not move at all, and was very firm, and tied a brightly colored cloth to it.

"Taming a camel is a tricky thing to do, because once a camel goes wild, a dozen or so people can't pull it, so we have to train an operant conditioning that allows the camel to be quiet."

[What is operant conditioning?] [Simply understood as a conditioned reflex (covering your face)]

[Do a good job of rewarding the stimulus, and then increase the probability of the behavior occurring, which is probably what it looks like] [All big guys] [I understood, it is PUA of camel]

"A lot of camel keepers start out by pulling a brightly colored stake wrapped in red thread deep in the ground and using it to tie the camels."

"At first, the camel that has not been domesticated will keep resisting, desperately pulling the rope, trying to pull the small stake out of the ground completely, which is of course impossible, and it is difficult to pull out the nail half a meter deep, and pull it to the side."

"One last attempt, one failed another, and slowly the camel will think that the wood tied with the strip of cloth is invincible."

"At this point, if you stick a piece of wood tied to the ground with the same strip of cloth tied to it, and you don't have to go too deep, the camel will go around the stick instead of trying to pull it out, and this successfully creates a conditioned reflex."

"Sandstorms are often encountered in the desert, and when an unexpected sandstorm suddenly comes, some camel team members will quickly stick a wooden stick in the ground in order to prevent their camels from getting lost, and then tie one or even several camels to this small stick together."

"When the owner of the caravan is swept away by a huge sandstorm, the huge camels tend to lie firmly around the sticks, and stay there every step of the way."

[Grip] [That's PUA!!]

"In order to speed things up, we also need to add some bonus links to help form an inherent perception."

After doing all this, Bi Fang tied the camel to a stake, not the reins on his nose, but another one on his body, and then took off the blindfold.

When some light was restored to the sight, the camel was stunned for a few seconds, and immediately began to struggle, but the stake was firmly planted in the ground without any shaking.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour or so, the tired camel lowered the intensity of the struggle.

After confirming the stability of the stake, Bi Fang also leaned against the stone, turned off the live broadcast, and took a nap for a few hours.

By the time Bi Fang woke up again, it had changed from early morning to noon the next day, and the air had become stuffy again, and when he opened his eyes, he could see the ripples of the heat wave in the distance.

Turning on the live broadcast, and waiting for the number of viewers to gradually stabilize, Bi Fang walked out of the shadow of the stone, his eyes narrowed, and the sand on his body fell.

The male camel, which was more than two meters tall, squatted in place, and the stake was still the same stake, unchanged in the slightest.

But when Bi Fang got closer, the giant beast quickly stood up and began to struggle again.

Bi Fang was not discouraged, this was all expected, he rolled up the sleeves on his arms: "Today is only the first day, we still have two days to go, don't worry, and today we will also start to practice."

"All camels are to be tamed and lie down; Tie its front legs with a rope and pull it over its head from the spine to make the camel fall to its knees."

"Or wrap the calves of the two hind legs with a rope, and pull it to make it lie down."

"Either way, hold the reins of the camel, press the camel's head down, and shout a command from your mouth to make it kneel down."

"When you kneel down, you just need to press its head inward, gently pull the reins, and say a command or movement, and it will automatically lie down."

"It's not just about making it easier for the camel to get on and ride after it kneels, it's more about having a sense of obedience."

[Understood, or PUA] [as for the training, can you call it PUA (dog head)] [Fang Shen training dog must also be a good hand]

[I want to be the dog of the god (love)] [Collect the taste, it's too sassy]

"When the camel is one year old, it is easy to tame it by tying its legs and putting on a halter, but if it is an adult, it needs to wear a nose restraint, put on a halter, and practice behind the domesticated adult camel, one person leads in front, and the other person drives from behind, so that the camel can learn."

"But we don't have tamed camels, so we're doomed to take more effort."

Blinding the huge camel with a sheath, Bi Fang untied the rope and pulled the camel into the shadow of the boulder to train it to tow.

As said, Bi Fang tied the camel's legs with a rope, then pressed his head and pulled the reins.

When watching the huge camel really kneel down under Bi Fang's pull, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately cheered.

It's just that Bi Fang knows that this is just the beginning.

Now it's blindfold training, and then there's eye-opening training, which is more complicated and difficult step by step.

"The training of animals, especially wild animals, is a process that requires a lot of patience, so don't be impatient and don't take it lightly, pay attention to some of their small movements, and beware of them outbursting."

"Beware of it suddenly stopping, retreating, or losing its temper, to the point of piercing its nostrils and sticking its nose out."

"Like dromedary, it usually shows its displeasure by stomping and running, and spitting and kicking, and when you see these things happening, you should know it's time to rest."

In the afternoon, I don't know how many times I got the camel up and knelt down again, Bi Fang took the camel back to the stake, re-tied the reins, and took off the blindfold.

Adequate supplies, enough water and food for more than three days, but the camels still need to eat and graze.

There are only two ways to make an animal obedient.

One is by deterrence, whipping, intimidation, flesh pain, like a circus tiger, but you have to be careful that one day it bars its teeth at you.

The other is to let the animal understand what it should do, and after doing it, it is far better than its original survival in the wild, and it is a survival choice that has more advantages than disadvantages, such as a pet cat that yearns for life outside the window, and will go home obediently after a month of wind and rain.

As a positive energy anchor, Bi Fang certainly won't choose the first one, which is not in line with his moral concept.

"I didn't look carefully before, but now I realize that this camel is really big, even if it is a normal male camel, it is a big man."

Bi Fang crossed his hands on his hips, looked at the camel that was struggling again, and looked carefully.

"Its hump is also very swollen, which means that it usually eats well, and does not worry about food and moisture for the time being, but this does not mean that it does not need to eat, and after each successful training, it also needs to be given a certain reward to make it willing to be tamed."

"It's more troublesome to eat well."

Bi Fangmo rubbed his chin, if he couldn't provide a better life than before, it would also cause some resistance for him to tame the camel.

Afternoon.

Bi Fang came to the camel with a bundle of hay of all kinds and a large amount of fruit, which was the result of his busy afternoon for nearly an afternoon.

If anyone who is familiar with desert plants is here, they will be able to recognize what these hayes and plants are.

Camel hair quinoa, camel thorn, dum palm fruit and desert gourd.

The first two are the favorite food of camels, and the latter two are fruits that Bi Fang finally found.

Fortunately, there is still muddy land around here, there are still a lot of plants, and occasionally one or two trees are growing, otherwise it would not be easy to get the food of the big guy in front of you.

Even Bi Fang deliberately picked a relatively tender part, and he was so tired that he was sweating.

He picked a reddish-brown fruit and stuffed it into his mouth to chew, the juice overflowed, and the sweet smell was emitted.

"The Dum palm fruit, people who live in the Sahara Desert often use its peel to make molasses, I don't know why, I don't think it's so sweet, but it tastes okay."

"And this one, the wild desert gourd, is a member of the watermelon family that grows abundantly in the Sahara Desert."

Bi Fang picked up a melon the size of a small half a head again, put it in his hand and checked it.

"Its roots, leaves, and fruits store large amounts of water throughout the year and are a good source of food and water for any desert animal capable of breaking through the peel, and its large yellow flowers are also edible."

[Camel: I've never eaten such a hearty meal in my life] [Is it a decapitated rice (dog head)] [I'll do it when I'm full, right]

[No, I seem to have heard someone say last time that the watermelons in the desert are poisonous, can this thing really be eaten?]

[Good guy, you actually don't believe in Fang Shen?] Heresy!]

[I seem to have heard that watermelons in the desert should not be eaten, they are poisonous]

"That's another thing, the poisonous watermelon you are talking about is a medicinal watermelon, if you cut it, you will find that it is all cotton-wool-like fruits, there is no water at all, it is indeed poisonous, but it is also used by the locals to treat stomach problems."

"The name of the Kafir watermelon in my hand now is native to the African desert, and it is grown as food in the local desert areas, and even as a water source in the dry season, and is also used by the indigenous people for bathing."

"The locals call it 'Chama', and it's been cultivated in ancient Egypt for at least 4,000 years. Now it is not only in Africa, but also in more places, as a kind of plant, in the southern plains of the ugly country, it is also called pine melon and grapefruit melon."

Bi Fang split the melon, and the flesh inside was also white, but not white cotton wool, but the same as a normal watermelon, it was a fine particle, full of moisture, but it was not sweet at all, and even had a bitter taste.

"The flesh of this stuff can not only be used to replenish moisture, but also to protect from the sun and retain moisture, and some people even say that they can survive in the desert for six weeks just by chama."

Bi Fang grabbed a handful of pulp, grabbed the water and applied it directly to his face and arms, and suddenly felt a burst of coolness.

"The medicinal watermelon and the Kafir watermelon do look very similar, almost identical, even the color of the flesh is almost the same, but one inside is cotton wool, and the other is the same as a normal watermelon, so it is easy to distinguish."

"And the Kaffel watermelon is actually more common, but most of the marketing accounts will not talk about it, and they are more accustomed to alarmism, what to avoid when they see desert watermelons, just listen to it, even if it is a poisonous medicine watermelon, it is also useful, it can kill bacteria and reduce inflammation."

Camels are roughage-tolerant, can eat short and sparse \ thorny shrubs with a high degree of lignification that other domestic animals do not eat, and can also feed on a variety of coarse straw \ branches \ dead grass, so they can survive for a long time in the harsh Gobi \ desert and other environments.

But being able to endure hardship does not mean that you have to endure hardship.

can eat big fish and meat, unless health does not allow it, no one really likes to eat bran vegetables.

Bi Fang's big bundle, for camels, is the big fish and meat that humans eat, and even desserts and fruits, which give enough benefits.

It vomited once before, and then after it ran away, it did eat something, but it was still empty, and after just a few probes, the camel gave up the struggle and chewed it heavily.

For the next two days, Bi Fang continued to train in recumbent and feed regularly. There is nothing bigger for animals than to reproduce.

As for reproduction, camels that only finished their breeding period two months ago indicate that they do not have those worldly desires. The relationship between the two is heating up rapidly in the face of good food.
