Chapter 3 It's Science!
This scene seems weird and weird on the prairie.
The filming team took the camera equipment around the circle and found that all the wild animals within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area seemed to be inexplicably summoned, and even wild animals in the distance were also slowly walking towards here.
The aborigines, who had been on the alert, urged the filming team to continue to go back again at this time.
There were even a few potato people who were so frightened at this time that they left the large army behind and ran out frantically.
Even under the loud shouting and scolding of the natives who led the group, the natives who ran away had no intention of turning back.
Seeing this scene, the atmosphere of the whole team became even more tense.
So he didn't insist, just shoot in place, and followed the natives to the back.
Although they gradually moved away from the strange tree, they never shifted the camera to other directions while retreating, and under the shaking lens, they could also see that the tree was constantly expanding.
Originally, this tree was only about three or four meters tall when it came out, but now I'm afraid it's already twenty meters tall!
This height is in the endless savannah, and if it is in the daytime, it can be seen even from a distance of several kilometers.
Just a few minutes.
It can already go from a dozen red dots that can be counted to dozens of red dots, and then to hundreds of red dots.
Now the tree is covered with red light, emitting a strange glow at night.
Scattered red dots are now all over the tree.
In the dark grassland, the red light like blood is softly revealing first, like a lighthouse for all travelers lost in the grassland to show the way home. new
As one person watched the distance getting farther and farther away, the filming team felt that it was almost impossible to shoot close-up scenes now, so they discussed with the indigenous leaders and asked if they could return to shoot up close.
The indigenous chief, who had always been very cooperative, waved his hand again and again at this time.
Keep pointing to the sky in the distance and saying something.
The translated subtitles at the bottom also give the content of the current communication in a timely manner at this time.
"Now we will surely die, and we can wait until the dawn is about to pass, when God is asleep."
"Then you will see him as he really is."
"We never get close to him at night, and even if we were given another truck, we wouldn't go there."
Immediately after, the camera turned.
At this time, it was no longer a dark grassland, but an extremely faint light appeared on the horizon.
This looks like it's almost dawn.
It is believed that in a few moments, the sun will shine again on this vast grassland.
At this time, the camera team also began to slowly approach the tree that had grown to forty or fifty meters high that week.
Although there was a slight light in the distance, it was still dark.
The red light emitted by this large tree flickered on and off, as if it were breathing.
If you go any further, you're already very close to it.
At this distance, it can be clearly seen that after a night, this big tree is full of all kinds of animals.
Rats, hares, hyenas, wild dogs, wild deer, leopards, and almost all of the animals that move around here hang on this tree.
The extremely wide branches spread horizontally, hanging all the animals below the shade.
Most of the animals are now dry and have no movement at all.
The hanging animals were all sturdily tied to a piece of vine, and the spikes on the vines could be seen piercing the fur.
Some of the vines were still glowing red, and with each flicker, the spikes moved, as if they were insisting on attracting the blood inside.
Only occasionally the animal will have dying convulsions, but it is accompanied by the most vines inserted in the body
After sucking a few times, he completely stopped moving.
If you just see a few hanging human heads, it can be regarded as a horror.
But I saw hundreds of animals of countless species staring at the big eyes of death, their whole bodies withered, their muscles constricted, and they hung in the air like wind chimes.
That's a shock.
The sky gradually brightens in the distance.
When the first bit of sunlight broke through the sky, the tree, which now seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, suddenly woke up.
Countless branches began to move, and all of them relaxed.
The dead bodies of the animals rained down and smashed into the ground with a thumping sound.
The tree also burrowed back into the ground at a great speed.
Hundreds of vines moved at the same time, and the speed of recovery was so fast that it was like a whip pumping out, so that there was a whooshing sound in the air.
In less than a minute, the extremely tall tree disappeared into the grassland.
If it weren't for the fact that the ground was covered with dead animal corpses, and there was a large hole about two meters wide in the middle, no one would have believed that there was a towering tree here just now.
The video is followed by a group of natives happily moving these animal carcasses back, and Fang Xing just put two pictures and it ended.
After the video was played, Fang Xing spoke.
"I think I told you before that there are bloodsucking monsters."
"For example, the most well-known vampire is even the most classic representative of it. Some people may think that vampires are not just mythical creatures?"
"That said, ghosts are also creatures of myths and legends, and there are still few people who see ghosts today?"
Vampire Nighttree Vine.
That's the name of the tree that appeared in the video just now.
The naming of the strange thing is basically to follow the need to know the details of this creature when you see the name, so most of the names are actually very suitable for life.
And this naming is enough to express. Just the characteristics of this strange plant.
It lives in the ground in the form of vines during the day and on the ground in the form of trees at night, and its main feeding method is to suck blood.
In the video, you can clearly see that its blood-sucking method is to add something like a needle to the skin, so as to suck the blood inside the animal.
But that's just the appearance.
If someone has ever killed a chicken or a pig, they know that simply bloodletting does not actually drain all the blood in the animal's body.
It can only be said that the vast majority of the blood is removed, and some of it still stays in the muscles or internal organs.
That's why the meat is blanched to remove any blood from the animal's body.
And the animals shown in the video are almost all smoked into jerky, which is obviously not something that can be done by pricking a few wounds.
The appearance of those spikes is just a façade.
In fact, after the puncture, some extremely thin vines will grow from the thorns!
They are about the size of a human hair, and they can easily travel through the blood vessels throughout the body, breaking through the layers of muscle barriers, and sucking all the blood from the animal's body.
In fact, this plant does not guarantee that all the blood it attracts is it, and sometimes some of the animal's bile or urine will be absorbed together, and even the brain will be sucked dry.
That's why the carcasses of those animals feel so strange, simply because they have been rapidly dehydrated.
It can be said that if a normal creature is pierced by this kind of vine, it is basically hopeless......
Having said this, Fang Xing suddenly added:
"But there is one thing I need to tell you, this blood-sucking plant or monster contains a special chemical in its body to help them transform the substance in the blood."
"And this chemical, when it encounters silver, reacts very quickly. Reflected performance
The form is exothermic, a rapid and massive sudden release of heat."
"And this substance has a similar effect when exposed to ultraviolet rays, which is why bloodsuckers have always been afraid of sunlight."
"Now you probably know why so many legends of vampires must be dealt with with with silver, right? There's a scientific basis for that!"
"As for the garlic...... Only the vampire can say that he hates this smell very much, just like a person walks around the septic tank, although the vampire has a similar appearance, his olfactory organ is completely different from a human."
"If you smear your body of garlic juice and fight a vampire, it's like someone is hitting you with a mop stained with, and you say you can't run or not!"
Fang Xing's explanation shocked everyone in the live broadcast room!
It's no wonder that in ancient Western legends, it is said that vampires will turn to ashes as long as they are pulled into the sun.
Feelings are not because of some magic, but because of chemistry!?
Why do you feel that it is still a little strange that the knowledge of strange things is mixed with some scientific truths?
As for the garlic in the back, this explanation is even more bizarre.
No wonder the legend has it that vampires will run away when they encounter garlic.
If someone wipes and comes to shout a duel with you, there is a high probability that they will run away!
And it's about how far you can run, how far you can run!
This is in line with the legend that garlic doesn't hurt vampires, but it can drive them away.
Fang Xing explained a little bit about the vampire monsters, and then turned the topic back to the vampire Nighttree vine.
The plant also does not need to eat a lot of blood every day, and they will more often only choose to come out on full moon nights.
Because of the way this vampire plant eats, they basically have no desire for anything other than blood.
Although it is said that in the process of sucking blood, it is possible to suck a little brain or bile and other liquids, which are all liquids, and for muscle tissue or visceral tissue, blood-sucking plants have no intention at all.
So the carcasses of animals drained by bloodsucking plants.
It's edible!
And there is absolutely no smell of blood on the body!
Because the body is rapidly dehydrated, the flavor of the meat itself is quickly preserved, and the animal's body is pierced by many tiny vines, and it is also easy to absorb the flavor when cooking because of these tiny pores.
It's just that it may be a little more difficult to decompose.
After all, more than ninety percent of the water in the animal's body has been drained, and it is very troublesome to peel the skin or something.
But that doesn't stop the aborigines from picking up this pile of food for nothing in the video.
It's no wonder that the natives call this blood-sucking night tree vine a god.
You can harvest at least a few thousand catties of meat every other month, and you don't have to do it yourself, and other people will respect this plant very much!
Not to mention that this is the most famine-prone place in the world!
The presence of this plant is a good thing for the locals.
"Another thing, if these locals cut a little bit of the blood-sucking night tree vine before the sun is about to rise, they won't actually provoke any counterattack."
"But this time must be calculated, if it is too early, it will be eaten by the tree, and if it is too late, it is estimated that it will not be able to cut a single vine and leave."
"These small branches are cut off, wrapped in cloth, and then placed by the fire to roast slowly, and after drying, they are ground into powder, which has a very good effect of stopping bleeding and replenishing blood......
"It may be outrageous to say, but it's true, the body of the vampire plant is very, very good at replenishing blood and stopping bleeding!"
"It's just that there are two things to keep in mind, the first is to never see the sun, and the second is not to touch the silver."
Fang Xing talked about the practical effects of this plant, but he was not afraid of other effects.
Because it is risky to collect this blood-sucking plant, if it is just a small tree that is only two meters tall at most, it is a big deal to put on a tin can and forcibly cut some vines in full gear.
But this tree is forty or fifty meters!
Even if you can't move the tin can, just rely on the vines to throw you into the sky and let you fall freely, people will not survive!
If you go so far away to collect this kind of thing, if the demand is relatively small, forget it, and want to use this thing as a cash cow, it can only be said to be delusional.
Fang Xing was talking here, the audience was also listening seriously, and a group of people were silently taking notes.
This time, Fang Xing was broadcast live at home, and there was no need to arrange anyone to prepare for the 947 Bureau, so today was a relatively easy day.
Although a group of people were still watching the live broadcast on the cover, their expressions were also very relaxed.
After all, a large case has just been cracked, and everyone can be regarded as meritorious, and they are all very happy.
Wu Sheng too.
He is now in his luxurious office, humming a little tune and watching the live broadcast.
I thought that today would be a rare idle day, but a special call suddenly came at this time.
Seeing the remarks of this call, Wu Sheng couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Hey?"
"The big night phone call disturbs people's dreams, what must be done tonight!"
On the other end of the phone, there was a serious voice.
"It's not our own business, there are departments that cooperate with us, and we want to contact Fang Xing urgently, but other departments must get your consent to come to us to carry out tasks."
"So I need to ask you."
"Are they allowed to contact Fang Xing directly?"
