Wandering in the world of martial arts

Chapter 14 The Trial of Fire!
Making a fire is a typical thing that is easier said than done.

Modern people all know that the primitive method of making fire is called "drilling wood to make fire".

But you let them drill and see for themselves?
If he didn't cry for his father and mother, he would eat the basketball!
Even though there are 14 billion people in the entire Shen Kingdom, there are not more than a hundred people who have actually tried to make fire by drilling wood.

Of course, if you started the fire with your keyboard, please pretend you didn’t say anything!

Wu Chen reluctantly sat up.

He doesn't know whether he regrets it or not. In order to complete the task of "food and water", he overfed himself and found it difficult to walk.

Although he has won an excellent level reward, what is going on with this "holding out of the wall" state?
If the fire is not lit by dark, it will be completely over.

Once the task fails, it means that you can only eat raw food in the future, it is hell mode!
In desperation, Wu Chen could only try his best to run the "Ba Snake Tun Xiang Style" first, so that he could digest it first.

The "Ba Snake Tunxiang Style" is quite powerful.

About three to ten minutes later, Wu Chen was finally able to straighten up and walk. He didn't dare to delay at all, and hurriedly went to the woods to find what he wanted.

He was going to use the hand drill method.

He is quite familiar with this forest.

The most important thing is to find the right wood.

He remembered hearing in a video that when drilling wood, it is best to use dry cork such as yucca and agave wood.

But the key question, let alone whether there are yucca or dragon tongue trees nearby, even if there are, he may not know you when you put them in front of him.

Drilling wood to make fire, the choice of wood is very critical.

If there is no suitable wood, it may not be possible to make a fire after a few days of dawdling.

After searching for a long time, he finally found two pieces of dry cork that he thought were suitable.

When returning to the camp, he scraped some dried moss from some bark and kneaded it into a bird's nest shape, as the kindling he was going to use this time.

The hand drilling method is divided into two pieces of wood, one is the rotating shaft, the vertical piece, and the other is the fireproof board, and the horizontal piece.

He first punched holes in the fireproof board.

This process uses nail clippers. The nail clipper he got, the file can be stretched out independently, and it is easy to goug out a small hole.

Then, align the hole with the dry moss on the ground and press it in.

His camp had been cleared by those four people, and the ground was relatively dry, so it was no problem to use it to light a fire.

Before planning to drill, he thought about it, went to the beach again, and got some sand back.

Then put some sand into the holes in the fire board.

Because drilling wood to make fire uses the principle of friction to generate heat.

Add some sand to increase friction.

This is also a trick I learned in a video.

After he was ready, he held the rotating shaft with both hands and pressed it on the hole, and he was about to start drilling.

He held the top of the rotating shaft with both hands, and when he exerted all his strength, he rolled his hands down the rotating shaft, turning while rolling.

Turning from top to bottom like this can increase the number of turns per turn.

Ultimately, the shaft must reach 420 degrees to produce smoke.

As the process of drilling wood to make fire continued.

Wu Chen's expression also became more and more anxious.

Because its hands started to heat up and hurt in this unreasonable friction.

Arms also became sore.

Once, he clearly felt that he was very close to the fire, and the branch that was turning in his hand suddenly jumped out of the hole, and he was so angry that he almost broke the branch.

Once the contact is stopped, the shaft cools down quickly, which means starting over.

Wu Chen just kept drilling and drilling, drilling and drilling.

Time passed slowly.

It's a painful ordeal.

He didn't check the time.

However, he felt that half of the time should have passed.

However, in this continuous drilling, his experience has also been improved.

It is reflected in that the technique is more stable, the branches are not easy to fall out, the turning is more agile, and the movements of each circle are connected faster.

As his experience increased, he suddenly felt that he might succeed this time.

Even from that hole, there were signs of smoke coming out.

"Hurry up, it should be successful!"

He was overjoyed and speeded up the speed regardless of the fatigue of his arms and palms.

in the next moment,
"Ah!" Wu Chen let out a scream suddenly, and the branch in his hand withered away.

In the palm of his right hand, there was a bloody hole, and the blood that spilled out stained the entire palm red!
The pain was still secondary, but such an injury meant that it was no longer possible for him to drill wood to make fire!
"No!"

The sudden and huge blow made Wu Chen's mentality unbalanced. He kicked the fireproof board away, knelt on the ground, and beat the ground with his left hand crazily, his eyes were blurred.

The failure of the fire mission meant that he would no longer be able to have fire!

Henceforth he will have no coconut milk to boil, no fish to roast, no bird to roast, no fire to keep warm, no fire to drive out insects, no flame to light.

A world without fire often means the boundary between life and death.

He didn't know what challenges lay ahead.

All he knew was that just this one blow might knock him directly into the abyss.

He buried his head on the ground, closed his eyes, and trembled all over.

But at this moment of extreme despair, the bald figure appeared again in his mind.

His smile is very warm, like a red bonfire that will never go out in the boundless night.

His eyes are very bright, very pure, and overflowing with a kind of rock-like determination, as if telling him,

A real man should not be knocked down by any difficulty!
Wu Chen wiped away a few tears that fell from his eyes with his left hand, and after a while, he clenched his teeth and stood up again.

Who has never faced setbacks!
But what can really hit a person is never setbacks, but himself!
There is no fire without fire!
At worst, he eats raw food, puts on several layers of clothes to keep warm at night, uses toilet water to repel insects, and uses a mobile phone for lighting. Just because there is no fire doesn't mean he can't survive!
Why give up on yourself?

Besides, there are still three hours left!
The time limit has not yet come, why not try harder!
A gleam of determination flashed in Wu Chen's eyes, resisting the pain, cleaned the wound on his right palm with a wet tissue in his bag, tore off a few pieces of cloth, and wrapped them tightly.

However, in the current situation, the right hand is useless?How else to start a fire?

What can a person use instead if he has no hands?

Thinking of this, Wu Chen looked down and stared at his feet, showing hesitation.

Drill wood with your feet to make fire?

No one seems to have done this.

You can't get out with your hands, but you can do it with your feet? ? ?
Wu Chen was also suspicious.

However, besides using his feet, he has no choice but to use his feet now.

If there is only one hope, no matter how low the hope is, you can only try!

Thinking of this, Wu Chen no longer hesitated.

He stepped on the fireproof board with his left foot to fix it, his left hand was still in the original position, and his right hand was resting beside him, and the position of the original right hand became the right foot!
It is equivalent to using the left hand and right foot to cooperate with drilling wood to make fire.

Shoes have also been taken off and will interfere with mobility.

This posture is a bit strange.

But Wu Chen tried to turn around, but unexpectedly found that it was not as difficult as imagined!
He just remembered that there is a "four-heart harmony pose" in the "Food Ming Jing", that is, the handover of the left hand and the right foot, and the handover of the right hand and the left foot. He is not unfamiliar with this movement!
After realizing this, Wu Chen showed joy, and his spirit that had been slumped suddenly cheered up.

I still have a chance of success!
His left hand and right foot began to cooperate together, from top to bottom, turning the starting shaft!

It is much more difficult than he used to cooperate with two hands before!
After all, the sensitivity of the feet is far inferior to that of the hands, and it is very difficult to coordinate with each other with one hand and one foot.

But this time Wu Chen calmed down, and no longer thought about failures or failures. He just concentrated on doing the things in front of him, trying to make his hands and feet cooperate better!

Time passed slowly.

The evening glow shone into the woods, and it was dusk.

Under the action of the simultaneous movement of hands and feet, the rotating shaft rotates rapidly, making frictional noises at the bottom.

No fire came out.

Still no hope.

But Wu Chen no longer thought about these things.

The hand injury just now gave him a big blow. Now that he is fighting desperately, it will be natural if he can succeed. If he can't, he will try his best.

All his energy was focused on the coordination of his hands and feet, and he even began to transform from conscious to subconscious.

Gradually, he entered a state of "no fire".

He practiced meditation hard at night, and many times he was unable to enter this "fire-free" state.

Unexpectedly, under such a huge dilemma, it was inexplicably achieved.

When the whole island was plunged into darkness, and at the last moment when the setting sun was about to disappear from the horizon, suddenly, a wisp of light smoke shot out from the hole in the fireproof board.

Wu Chen was suddenly awakened.

In ecstasy, he hastily turned a few times quickly, then dropped the rotating shaft, kicked away the fireproof board, picked up the nest-shaped dry moss with both hands, and blew vigorously into it.

When a ray of bright flames burned, the last light of the entire island was also swallowed by darkness.

"I made a fire!"

"I made a fire!"

“I finally made a fire!!!
Holding this piece of burning dry moss high above his head, Wu Chen let out a crazy laugh.

He screamed and danced like a madman who has lost his mind, and even burst into tears again, but this time weeping with joy.

The moment his hand was injured, he really felt that this mission must fail.

I was going to give up at first, but I didn't expect that in the end, even my feet went into battle, and after a blind fight, I succeeded...

"Time is up!

The mission 'Fire' is over!
Task settlement...

Player Wu Chen, the task completion rate is 100%, the evaluation is normal!
You have received a flint and steel as a reward, please go to the beach closest to you to claim it. "

Just a flint and steel?

Well, it's good to not be punished by the task, and the flint and steel are the flint and steel!

Wu Chen hastily turned on his phone to take a selfie, aiming at his own feet.

He had already taken off the shoe on his left foot, so he clamped the burning moss with his two stinky feet, and then moved his face closer, showing a charming smile:

"Hello everyone, my name is Wu Chen, I am an outdoor anchor, and I am also the first person in history to create fire with my feet!
If you like the anchor, please click on the upper right corner to follow, thank you!

No gifts, no! "

Before the filming was over, Wu Chen couldn't help raising his head and laughing wildly!
