In the desert, Bi Fang shoveled the sand with a flat stone and dug a tunnel for himself according to the standard of one person's width as a shelter for tonight.

"Shelter is built to avoid sun exposure so you can rest, but also to be sheltered from the wind and cold nights."

"To conserve energy and fluids, it's best to build your shelter at colder nights. Surrounded by rocks to protect against wind and sand, or with the help of dry riverbed walls, but watch out for riverbeds that are likely to experience heavy rains or frequent intermittent flooding. ”

"Fabrics are used to set up a tent, the bottom edge should be loosened and rolled up during the day to increase air flow, and at night it can be pressed with rocks. Do not lie directly on hot ground. The bed must be raised so that the air under you can circulate. ”

Small kiosk

"If you're a lost traveler, don't get stranded in a metal-clad vehicle or plane, the temperature can quickly rise to unbearable levels under the scorching sun."

"But they're great materials, and you can use them to prop up shelters, build shelters in the shade of the wings, or dig a big pit under a car, make the most of the rocky protrusions and the shade of the dry riverbed, and use a hollow double layer to insulate and cool down."

[The car exposed to the sun will be burned for you when you sit in]

【That's right】

[The surface temperature of the Sahara is sixty or seventy, right? 】

【Omelette is definitely no problem】

Throwing a puff of fine sand out of the pit, Bi Fang took a breath of hot air and stacked the stones neatly underneath.

Sand is naturally easy to dig, but it is easy to collapse and slide when used as shelter, so it must be supported by strong beams.

"It can be wood or stone, as long as the structure is strong."

"It's just that when you're carrying a stone, don't just reach out, hit it with a long stick first, and then lift it away to avoid any small animals hiding under the stone."

"A lot of sand-dwelling animals hide under the surface during the day, where it's cool and warm at night, so be careful of scorpions crawling on your hands when you dig."

"The more extreme the environment, the more aggressive the creatures living underneath become, because they must seek an opportunity to kill with a single hit, otherwise they are very likely to die because they can't catch their prey."

"You can't dig a tunnel in the sand, you have to have support, hey, wait...... We were lucky. ”

Bi Fang, who was trying to build his nest for tonight, stopped, and lifted the stone with his stick, exposing the shadow beneath it to the last rays of the setting sun.

[What's going on]

[What's it, what's it]

[I bet five cents, there are shoes under the stones!] 】

The sand was dark red, perhaps because of the effect of light and shadow, or because the other party hid it so well, that many people swept it at first glance and didn't see anything.

Bi Fang knelt on the ground, his elbows on the ground, and the distance was infinitely closer.

At this time, the audience finally saw it clearly, and their hearts were suddenly shocked, because there was a huge golden scorpion less than thirty centimeters in front of Bi Fang!

The scorpion you normally see is usually only one to two centimeters, but the one in front of you is actually half the size of a palm!

Even the color is so close to the surrounding sand that many people wouldn't even be able to spot it unless Bi Fang specifically pointed it out.

"We were lucky enough to have the golden scorpion, a type of scorpion that is translucent and yellow in appearance and is one of the most venomous animals in the Sahara Desert and in the whole world."

"Although they may seem short and fragile, they are very dangerous, and their venom is a mixture of several neurotoxins, and although the amount of its venom is usually not enough to kill an adult, it is absolutely deadly for small children and the elderly."

"But what's interesting is that this guy's venom is very valuable, a gallon, which is almost four liters of venom, is worth almost 40 million ugly gold, which is close to 300 million Huaxia coins, because it contains the ingredient scorpion chlorotoxin, which can help in the development of new drugs, which helps in the treatment of cancer cells in the brain and spine.

”

【？？？ 】

[, so expensive? 】

[This price is a bit outrageous, right?] 】

[Is it too late to raise now?] 】

[I think about it too much, it's really so easy to do, why haven't I heard that someone makes a fortune from this? ] 】

"Indeed, one gallon, four liters, first of all, the process of obtaining venom is not easy, and each golden scorpion can only provide a maximum of two milligrams at a time, which means that you need to squeeze the venom at least 2.64 million times before it is possible to collect 1 gallon of venom."

[That's fine]

[Let's work honestly]

Bi Fang looked at the golden scorpion carefully and gestured with his finger.

"The male in the golden scorpion is usually seven to eight centimeters, the female is a little larger, about eight to ten centimeters, and the one in front of us should be a female with a large physique."

Bi Fang pulled out the dagger, picked the scorpion over, and pressed it, looked at its abdomen, and confirmed his judgment.

"The abdomen of the scorpion has a pair of feathery joints, there are many male scorpions and few female scorpions, and we can judge the male and female by looking at the number of teeth in the abdominal segment."

"In addition, there is a ratio of the width of the trunk to the width of the tail segment, which is less than 2 for males and 2 for females. The tentacles are short, the male scorpion is short, with odontoid processes; The female scorpion is long, toothless, and the hardness of the final reproductive cover, which is hard for males and soft for females. ”

[Useless knowledge has increased]

[I bet five cents, this will be Fang Shen's dinner today. 】

[I'll bet on a piece, this thing is a protected animal, and the old party will let it go]

[I'll add a pack of spicy strips and gamble! ] 】

[Stay away from gambling and drugs, cherish life]

"Hahaha, someone is right, it's really going to be my dinner, this guy has a wide branch, just listen to the name, it's obviously a golden scorpion, an Asian name, but even Africa is everywhere."

"However, it is very fast and aggressive, so if you are not familiar with its offensive methods and behaviors, I recommend preparing a long iron clip to subdue it for safety."

"After all, even if you are a sturdy adult male, there is a high probability that you will not die if you are bitten, but with the environment of the Sahara, this probability will become 100%."

Under the silver dagger, the golden scorpion kept struggling, a pair of golden tongs clamped the blade, and the long tail pierced the air at an extremely fast speed, but it was all in vain.

"Scorpion venom is a protein, and it only needs high temperature to denature and inactivate, so we roast it over a fire, and it will definitely be a delicious dish."

"Although the golden scorpions dig burrows and live alone, they tend to gather in one place and dig their own burrows, and we can look for them again, and maybe we can find some more."

It was getting dark, and Bi Fang dug up today's dinner.
