Chapter 818: Golden Meteorite
Carrying the dead horned vipers, Bi Fang found a smoother stone slab in the same place and took them to the stream in the canyon.
Skillfully skinned, bloodletted, cleaned.
Bi Fang probably eats the most these days is the rattlesnake, which is very skillful.
He cut the snake neatly from the abdomen with a dagger, then picked up the vertebrae, raised his head, and slid down the spine to separate the snake bones whole, leaving a long flat snake meat that was soft to step on, and then put it in the water to wash it like a long flat belt, and when it came out again, it was almost impossible to see the original appearance.
The snake's stomach pouch was also kept and used as a kettle, and a few days ago, for some reason, one of the snake pouches burst and lost a lot of fresh water, which happened to be used as a supplement today.
[Good guy, it feels like an eel]
[There is no difference between snakes and eels, they both have only one vertebrae, pick them open, then slice them, and fry green peppers, which are particularly fragrant]
[I'm a little hungry, it's time to order a supper]
[The old party eats lunch, the fans eat supper, is this the jet lag, love love]
After cleaning up the snake meat, Bi Fangyou took out a "big stone", immersed it in water, picked it up after a while, and waited until the "stone" was loosened a little, and peeled off a pure white snake egg from it.
These snake eggs are not scattered one by one like eggs, but are all bound together by unknown substances, and the connections are full of sand, which looks like they are embedded in stone balls, which is quite strange.
[Anyway, why are the snake eggs all together, it feels the same as a stone]
"Snakes are reptiles, they lay amniotic eggs, the surface is moist and soft, and the female snake also excretes a mucus to lubricate the birth canal during the laying of eggs, so that it can lay eggs smoothly."
"The surface of the laid snake eggs will be sticky with mucus, and the mucus will quickly solidify, and all the eggs will be glued together through the amniotic eggs, thus forming a complete egg mass."
"And because it's in a desert area, the condensation process will inevitably contaminate the sand, and when it comes together, it looks like eggs growing on a stone, and sometimes even the whole thing is clumped up by sand, and you can't find it if you don't look carefully."
"Speaking of which, snakes have oviparous and viviparous oviparities, and we are lucky that the horned viper belongs to the former, so we can eat its eggs now."
【What's the matter】
[Oviparity I understand, what is fetal oviparity]
【Chatter, Chatterbox】
"The so-called oviparous is to lay eggs."
"There is a difference in viviparity, that is, the snake has eggs in its belly, but it does not lay eggs, and after hatching in the body, the baby snake finally comes out directly, and the eggs are not visible."
"It probably has something to do with the environment in which different snakes live."
The white snake eggs were placed on the shore after washing, neatly arranged together, about the size of a thumb, and there were nearly twenty of them!
"Snakes living in watery areas do not have a good hatching environment for laying eggs, so they adopt an ovoviviviparous reproduction strategy that allows the eggs to hatch in the mother's body and directly produce young snakes."
"Snakes that live on warmer land and have fewer natural predators usually lay more eggs because the natural hatching of eggs is safe."
"But this is not absolute, it is mainly the result of genetics, and some laws of life have not yet been discovered by humans."
Bi Fang shook off the water stains, under the exposure to the sun, the water stains on the snake eggs were quickly evaporated, aiming at the sun, you can clearly see the scene inside the snake eggs through the eggshell, fortunately, there is no formed snake.
"Vipers have both oviparous and viviparous oviparities, and fortunately, horned vipers are oviparous. They hide their eggs under rocks or prevent them from burrowing in burrows dug by other animals, and wait two to three months for them to hatch and be born. ”
After the processing, Bi Fang returned to the cave with the stone slab and food, then lit a fire to boil water, set up the stone slab and water bottle, and then threw all the cleaned snake eggs into the water bottle.
"Snake eggs are rich in protein up to 60%, the degree of nutrition is much higher than eggs, and it is also rich in minerals and trace elements and amino acids required by the human body.
"It's just that there are not many people who eat snake eggs, one is because snakes are not like chickens, they can lay eggs every day, and the other is that the value of snake eggs is far less high than that of adult snakes, and third, probably there are not many people who eat snakes, and most of them still have a subconscious fear of snakes."
Boiling water boils, milky white snake eggs rolling slightly in them.
Bi Fang placed the snake meat on the stone slab, and at the high temperature, the snake meat more than half a meter long quickly curled up, exuding a faint grease fragrance.
"I have said many times that there is a high probability of parasites in wild snake meat, but don't be afraid, as non-microorganisms, they can't withstand the high temperature of 100 degrees, you just need to wait patiently for a while, so that the high temperature can be completely transmitted to every cell, even if the food is blackened, it doesn't matter, the importance of safety is far greater than the taste."
Normal eggs only take seven or eight minutes to be thoroughly cooked, not even soft-boiled eggs, but for smaller snake eggs, Bi Fang boiled them for almost ten minutes, and even added water twice, which shows that he is cautious, but because of this, the taste is not very good.
"The protein in eggs contains more methionine, and after a long time of heating, it will decompose sulfide, which reacts with the iron in the egg yolk to form iron sulfide that is not easily absorbed by the human body, and there is more nutrient loss."
"So combine the two, and it's about ten minutes."
Bi Fang poured it out, let it cool slightly, pinched one, stuffed it into his mouth without even a thin eggshell, chewed it with the shell, and then swallowed it into his stomach.
[What's going on?] 】
[What a taste]
[Haven't you eaten snake eggs when you're so big, are they the same as eggs?] 】
[How can it be the same]
[I think the best thing to eat is the goose egg, boiled in white, particularly delicate, and then dipped in soy sauce to eat, fragrant]
Bi Fang pondered for a moment, licked the corners of his mouth, and said, "It's dry, it's not very delicious." ”
[What, that's it]
[White looking forward to a game]
[What are you looking forward to, it's not your turn to be delicious]
"When an egg is boiled in boiling water for more than 10 minutes, a series of chemical changes occur inside. The protein structure becomes tighter and less likely to come into contact with the protein-digesting enzymes in the gastric juice, so it is more difficult to digest, and the yolk becomes very dry and loose. ”
"Snake eggs have a higher protein content, so they are more stuffy to eat, and with the eggshell, it doesn't feel very tasty."
After the snake egg is the snake meat, there is nothing to say about this, and it is no different from other snake meat.
It is slightly scorched with a hint of oily aroma, and at the same time, it has a unique taste.
However, snake meat sprinkled with a thin layer of salt in the wilderness is also a rare delicacy.
One snake was enough for lunch, and the snake egg was only tasted and the rest was put in the bag for dinner.
The next day, the live broadcast had not yet started.
Bi Fang drew a map on the ground, and with the memory and route in his mind, he found out the approximate coordinates and left them to the local government.
I don't know what the locals will do with it, and whether this is an unknown mural location, I can't do anything about it.
Riding the Alpha on the road, the audience followed the time of Bi Fang, witnessing the surrounding area change from huge rocks back to sand dunes again, and watch the many rocks that have been eroded by the wind into strange shapes such as "castles" and "stone mushrooms" gradually disappear.
Under the blowing of the wind, the flat sand surface forms many patchwork band-like bulges, which look like waves one after another.
Returning to the familiar scene again, Bi Fang was not happy, how could he be, he still preferred to face the rocks of the previous day.
"Sand dunes move, and when pushed by the wind, they move everywhere, and they move very fast, in a day, a sand dune weighing several thousand tons can move tens of meters."
"Moving sand dunes have created a lot of 'labyrinths' in the Sahara Desert, and if you're not careful, you can get lost in the desert."
"The dunes are also a manic expander, they are constantly moving at a rate of several kilometers per year, which makes the Sahara Desert expand faster and faster."
"I had to re-orient myself every once in a while to confirm my course, which was very troublesome."
During the day, the most reliable direction is undoubtedly the sun, and even the sand dunes under the prevailing winds can only be used as a support.
"Not to mention the quicksand in there."
The moving sand dunes will bury everything in the sand everywhere they go, forming a vast sea of sand that looks smooth and spectacular, but there is a hidden murderous motive inside.
The sand of the sand sea is very loose, and the loose sand creates "traps".
These traps are very concealed and can easily trap people in.
The white bones in the Sahara Desert are the testimonies of the victims.
The camel has wide hooves and is not afraid of these things, but Bi Fang does not sit on the back of the alpha all the time.
Grasslands, rocky deserts, oases, canyons, dunes.
The audience has already followed Bi Fang to witness the richness and variety of the Sahara, but this is far from the whole story.
"Crystals? No, it should be glass. ”
In the desert, Bi Fang held a stick and poked it in the sand, picking out a translucent crystal.
The crystals are irregular, with a hint of yellow color, and look like a piece of natural mineral.
It's an oasis, but unlike most oases, the water here isn't freshwater.
There are a lot of flies on the surface of the water, and these flies are able to filter the concentrated salt and store fresh water in the body.
And next to these flies, Bi Fang also saw a few birds.
Just as desert travelers are able to obtain water by squeezing cacti, birds are able to obtain fresh water by hunting flies.
This may be the only time the birds have stopped, and they have gained enough energy that they may be able to escape from the barren Sahara Desert.
It's just that at this time, the audience's attention is not at all on this exquisite small ecology, but on the "stone" in Bi Fang's hands.
[What? Glass? 】
[Shouldn't it be crystal or something?] 】
[I can't tell the difference between these]
"No, it's glass."
Bi Fang pressed the stone to his face to make sure he felt right.
"In a normal environment, the temperature of natural crystals is lower than that of glass, and it will feel slightly cold when touched by the palm or cheek, even in the hot summer, licking the surface of the crystal with your tongue will also have a cold and cool feeling, and glass does not have this feeling, which is determined by their thermal conductivity."
"And the weight is not the same, crystal is a stone-like substance, with high density, and the weight is not too light."
"And then there's the difference in refraction, the hardness, and I'm sure it's glass."
Bi Fang threw the stone in an affirmative tone.
[Why does this glass seem to be formed naturally?] 】
"It's not like, it should be."
"There is a kind of natural glass with the purest purity in the world in the Libyan desert, which is also its specialty, right?"
"In 1932, a British explorer named Patrick Clayton led an expedition deep into the Sahara Desert, and in the Libyan desert, Clayton found some yellow-green 'stones' scattered on the desert."
"In 1996, Italian mineralogist Vincenzo Michel stumbled upon traces of yellow-green 'stones' in the Egyptian Museum. But it is not a separate exhibit, but a treasure hidden in the necklace of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs. ”
"The scarab beetle in the middle of the Egyptian pharaoh's necklace is made of Libyan desert glass."
[, the ancients made glass three thousand years ago? 】
[Are you stupid, Fang Shen said that there is natural glass...... It's obviously polished.]
"In nature, there are four main situations in which natural glass is formed."
"One is volcanic glass, which is formed by the rapid cooling of volcanic magma erupted underwater or on the surface."
"One is pseudobasalt glass, which is usually the product of the melting effect of frictional heat when an earthquake fault slides."
"The last type is a glass meteorite, which is a glass meteorite formed by a huge Earth alien that hits the Earth, causing the rocks on the surface to melt into liquid, and then splashes into the sky, forming a glass meteorite when the quenching falls back to the ground again."
"There is also a type of percussive glass produced by the impact metamorphism of meteorites."
"Scientists have discovered a huge crater in the desert of western Egypt, named Kobila."
"The glass in the Libyan desert is most likely the product of the impact of Kobila. Also supporting this claim is that the glass contains a high-pressure mineral called reddisite, which only forms when a meteorite strikes. ”
"The glass Egyptians called it a golden meteorite as a ritual treasure that brought the sun god to earth, and the most famous Libyan gold meteorite is the ornament on the chest of Tutankhamun, the pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom era in ancient Egypt, a scarab carved from a golden meteorite."
"Tutankhamun is considered by contemporary spiritual saints to be a peaceful and ascending Pharaoh. ”
"It is rumored that the prosperity of early ancient Egypt was developed with the support of aliens, and that a golden meteorite could help restore that connection. They could connect to the important Egyptian gods, the goddess Isis and Osiris. ”
"This thing seems to be worth a lot of money."
Bi Fang pointed the stone in his hand at the sun, and the stone in his hand emitted a clear yellow light.
