Chapter 929 Gum Arabic
Chapter 929 Gum Arabic
As he said that, Wang Yu was looking for something on the trunk, and said: "Acacia tree is a kind of tree that is more common in the Sahara Desert. It usually grows in desert areas. Their characteristics are that the whole body is covered with hard thorns. It will also secrete a translucent colloidal substance, which is a very typical African tree!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yu broke off a ball of khaki-yellow translucent gum from the tree trunk and handed it to the camera, which looked like the glue secreted from a peach tree.

"Look, this is gum arabic, and that's what I'm looking for. They are usually used as a food ingredient, put in syrup, candies, add texture or chewing gum!"

"Although I can't eat it directly, I can take advantage of its characteristics and put it in my mouth to chew, so that I can suck something to increase the secretion of saliva in my mouth and relieve the feeling of dry mouth. Now my My throat is already smoking!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Yu directly threw a ball of gum arabic into his mouth and began to chew. The mouth soon had a physiological reaction, saliva began to secrete, and the feeling of dry mouth and tongue eased a lot. Raising his eyebrows, he picked some gum arabic and put it in his backpack for future use.

As for the natural chewing gum, everyone felt that it was very novel, and they all sent bullet screens to ask what it felt like. Wang Yu pondered for a while, and explained solemnly:
"Let me think about it, how should I describe it? It's probably like having an enlarged version of QQ candy in my mouth, but it has no sweetness, and the taste is a little harder. Although it has no taste, I feel that the saliva in my mouth is starting to secrete. , the effect is very good!"

If you keep chewing gum arabic, the masseter muscles will become sore and swollen, so Wang Yu will hold it in his mouth, and chew it a few times from time to time, so that the mouth is no longer dry.
Gum Arabic cannot provide a source of water. Wang Yu’s approach is just deceiving his body to moisten his mouth and relieve the symptoms of dehydration. In fact, it does not solve any problems.

For Wang Yu, the most urgent task is to find a source of drinkable water, so as to truly relieve the symptoms of dehydration.

"Have you ever heard of a running race called Crossing the Sahara?"

Wang Yu asked suddenly, and almost all the audience said no.

Wang Yu continued: "The sand marathon is the most difficult running competition in the world. The most difficult part of it is the environmental factor. There was once a sand marathon runner who unfortunately lost his way in a sandstorm. He walked alone in the desert for nine days, in order to survive, he did everything he could, and even survived by sucking the blood of bats in the most difficult time!"

"But for a person without rich experience in wild survival and strong psychological quality, nine days is already the limit. In the end, he chose to commit suicide by cutting his wrists in desperation. What made him even more desperate was that he failed!"

"Guess why?"

Wang Yu shook his head and smiled wryly. Everyone was puzzled when they heard the words, and they all guessed the reason.

"I guess I regret it!"

"It's possible. After all, choosing to end one's own life is indeed a very difficult choice!"

"Maybe this buddy is too afraid of pain. He can't stand it after a small cut? Maybe it's because he doesn't have a knife, and it's troublesome to grind it with a stone, so why don't he commit suicide at all."

"Perhaps he was suddenly rescued?"

"That must be true, otherwise how would Master Yu know about this?"

Wang Yu glanced at the bullet screen and found that few of them were right, so he explained leisurely: "You all guessed wrong, the reason for his failure is that his dehydration is too serious, and the blood in his whole body is almost coagulated. Get up, can't get out of his body!"

"hiss!"

When the audience in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but gasped. They felt chills on their backs in an instant, and the blood in their whole body was almost coagulated. Even the blood was coagulated and couldn't flow out. For a person who is already desperate, it is undoubtedly the last knife inserted in his dying heart!
"Under the symptoms of severe dehydration, this kind of situation will indeed happen. Death is a matter of time. Fortunately, this buddy was rescued by a nomadic tribe in the end. He did not die in the Sahara Desert, and things spread."

Wang Yu said lightly, chewing the gum arabic in his mouth, as if he didn't take his current situation seriously at all.

The surface is calm, but there is actually some anxiety in his heart. He is very clear about the horror of dehydration symptoms.But after several water crises, his mentality has been relaxed a lot. Anxiety is useless. If he wants to survive, he can only focus on finding water sources.

The sky was dark, the temperature dropped a lot, and it was cooler in the canyon. The howling valley wind, under the effect of the narrow tube effect, made the wind force a lot stronger. Taking off his turban, Wang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and opened his eyes. Arms feel the pleasure of the cool breeze.

"Meow~"

A lazy voice came from the backpack behind him. The little guy has rested and is probably about to come out for activities.

Unzipping the zipper of the backpack, the little guy got out of the backpack immediately, and threw himself into Wang Yu's arms. Wang Yu held it in his hands, and it was obvious that the kitten had become a lot heavier. It seems that the nutrition during this time The supplement is still sufficient, and I didn't treat it badly.

Desert cats will gain a lot of weight every day when they are young. Generally speaking, the intake of nutrients directly affects their body functions until they become adults. Therefore, when they are young, their food intake is amazing. Let go of any opportunity to recharge your energy.

Lying in Wang Yu's arms, the desert cat yawned and jumped out of Wang Yu's arms. It seemed that it was going to go out to look for food, but Wang Yu didn't stop it. Letting it look for food nearby was considered exercise. its ability.

"It's going to be dark soon. Finding water in the dark is unlikely to succeed. I have to give up this plan for the time being, and find a suitable resting place first, get through tonight, and then we will make another plan! "

Wang Yu looked at the dim yellow sky and got up to look for the habitat tonight.

Canyons, oases and other places in the desert are often gathering places for creatures. There are much more animals and plants than sand dunes and sand sea areas, which means that it is less difficult to obtain food, which also means the existence of danger. Most Predators like to come out at night, especially in hot desert areas.

"In places like this, there are often wild beasts, such as African spotted hyenas. These guys not only exist on the African savannah, but also in the vast Sahara desert. They are smart and difficult to deal with, and they like to hunt from the target. At the anus, it's dangerous to touch them at night!"

Wang Yu smiled bitterly.
