Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 713 Supplies

After spending some time, Bi Fang rushed to his exclusive cabin and looked at his cabin across the river.

intact.

There was not much snow accumulated on the sloping roof, it was only three inches thick, and above the gate of the wooden house, there was still a pale, ferocious ox skull hanging high.

Although a little scary, it adds a wildness and anger.

[To be honest, this picture is a bit beautiful. 】

[Indeed, the ice fields, rivers, wooden houses, and the light purple starry sky are so beautiful]

【It’s so beautiful, I really want to travel to the North Pole】

【Already booked】

[Where can I buy a Tesis ferry ticket, I want this]

Some water friends sent out bullet screens with emotion, and it seemed that they could not wait to live in it directly and get close to nature.

In such an atmosphere, Bi Fang said rather unpleasantly: There is no modern equipment inside, and the food is not good. The seasoning is only salt, and you have to be careful to freeze the little brother when you go to the toilet. I think most of them can't stand it if they really live here. Oh, one thing is good, that is, using snowballs as toilet paper feels much better than paper.

[Well, don't destroy my beautiful fantasy, Hun Dan! 】

[Indeed, without Fang Shen's ability, most people would not experience comfort at all, and could only feel the feeling of struggling in a desperate environment]

【Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”

Ignoring the wailing of the water friends, he jumped across the river and returned to the shelter. Bi Fang did not rush to find fuel, but went to the place where he had buried the musk beef first.

After careful inspection, he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no traces of damage, and smiled at the audience: It's good luck, we didn't have any small animals breaking in during the two days we came out, or we didn't find anything buried here. Treasure'.

If Bi Fang was most worried about going out, there is no doubt that the musk ox was buried in the ground, for fear that some animal would come to dig the hole and take away the spoils he had worked so hard to get.

At that time, I will fall into a passive state again. Although I still have fish and meat as a supplement, I always lack a sense of security in my heart.

After simply taking some meat, Bi Fang changed the place to continue digging, and then put the excess musk beef back into it, and buried it again.

When digging out, the excess snow will be mixed together, and there will inevitably be some smell on it, which is easy for animals to find, so we have to re-bury it, so that it is safe enough.

After getting the food and letting Sansha have a full meal, Bi Fang started to collect fuel.

The first is the fuel, put more peat soil, their calorific value is high.

Bi Fang put the frozen mud bricks into the basket one by one. The frozen bricks were as hard as rocks, and they were stacked neatly.

The basket is made of woven wooden strips and has a cylindrical shape. After adding mud bricks, there are still many gaps around it, which are filled with hardwood by Bi Fang.

Hardwood burns longer, so you can prepare more. In fact, the best way is to prepare charcoal. The calorific value of charcoal is about 27.21~33.49 megajoules per kilogram, which is higher than ordinary peat soil. , at least three hours, we will not waste that effort.

This pile of fuel weighs about twelve or thirteen kilograms, so save a little, it's enough for three days.

One kilogram of charcoal can theoretically burn for eight hours. Of course, the arctic environment will speed up this process, so we need a shelter. Even if we don't have charcoal in hand, but peat soil and hardwood, we will burn for three hours a day for three days. More than enough to keep warm, or to cook something.

After a simple calculation with the audience, Bi Fang put the basket on the sled, followed by food, and some tools. The total weight was almost the weight of an adult.

After all, there are only three sled dogs, and the weight of two people is already the limit of running continuously, and any more may affect the efficiency.

After getting things ready and clearing the snow from the wooden roof, Bi Fang drove the sled out of the shelter and returned to the Tesis.

Under the night sky, the Tesis was fighting tenaciously against the ice at this time. The most surprising thing was that the expedition ship was slowly falling to one side, which made the audience scream wildly.

[Fuck, shit, shit, what's going on, what's going on? ? ? ? 】

[Are you about to fall? Are you going to fall? 】

[Why did the ship sink suddenly? ? ? 】

【Ruined! ! ! 】

Don't be surprised, this is normal operation.

Bi Fang's tone was very flat, and he was not frightened by the tilt of the Tesis.

You call this normal operation! ?

The water friends stared at the Taisis with a huge tilt angle, with disbelief on their faces.

Of course, to put it simply, an icebreaker uses the downward force of the bow to break ice. There are generally three methods of icebreaking, namely continuous, impact and swing.

When encountering an ice layer no more than 1.5 meters thick, the icebreaker will use the continuous icebreaking method, using the power of the propeller to first climb the hull on the ice, and then beat it down to smash the ice layer, but The driving force of the propeller is not vegetarian, it works like a knife, and it can chop ice cubes in minutes.

And when the thickness of the ice layer exceeds 1.5 meters, it is necessary to use the impact icebreaking method. First use the bow of the ship to crush the thick ice layer into pieces, then retreat a certain distance and then sprint forward. The momentum at this time It is enough to knock the broken ice away, and use the power of the hull itself to hit it repeatedly to open up a new channel.

When the Tesis first appeared, it used a direct collision method. Because it is close to the coast, the ice surface is very thin, and it can even be said that part of it is ice floes, so it can advance more than 100 meters at once, and then it will not be so. Easy.

Although such a violent ice-breaking method is not only inefficient, it is also a huge damage to the hull itself and requires regular maintenance. Therefore, the new ship ice-breaking structure is still under study, but no matter how foolproof the ice-breaking method will encounter special circumstances , such as being stuck by the ice layer and so on.

When European icebreakers broke ice in the Arctic Ocean, they couldn't move on the glacier because the ice was too thick. Now we need to use the cool rocking icebreaking method.

Bi Fang pointed to the swaying Tesis.

Seeing this, the water friends faintly realized in their hearts, the swing method, is it the swing method now?

When the hull is stuck in the ice, you only need to pump one side of the water tank, and the boat will tilt to one side. On the contrary, pump the other side of the tank, and the boat will tilt to the other side, so that the water is pumped back and forth. , the hull will sway from side to side, and at this time full power can get the ship out of trouble.

I see!

The audience suddenly realized.

【magic】

[It's the first time I know it can still be like this]

Bi Fang is not the only one who stands in the distance to watch the Tesis break the ice. No one can stand on the deck when the rocking method is used to break the ice. It is easy to cause a dangerous situation, and it feels uncomfortable. Therefore, there are many tourists standing on the ice field. , Captain Harveys was among them.

Seeing Bi Fang coming with a sled, many people were attracted. Captain Harveys came over and said solemnly: The ice layer is thicker than we imagined!

guessed.

Bi Fang also had a headache. The speed of a normal icebreaker should not be so slow. It can only be that the ice layer is too thick and Tesis is not professional enough, so it has become what it is now.

It's just that according to the current speed, there is no problem in rescuing the whale.

The two had a brief conversation and confirmed this consensus.

Have you eaten yet? Captain Harveys, who ended the conversation, issued an invitation.

No, I'm still trying to survive. Bi Fang explained the reason, a little curious, Is it lunch or dinner now?

Captain Harveys blinked, not surprised, and said with a smile: It's breakfast.

Okay, I happen to be a little hungry too, would you like some musk beef?

certainly.

Bi Fang's inability to accept help or food for nothing does not mean that others cannot accept his help and food.

The two left the crowd, dug a small hole and sat on the ground. Bi Fang spread out the musk ox hide from the sled and took out a stick inside.

It was two wooden sticks combined together, one big and one small, like sleeves put together in winter.

Hawes saw Bi Fang take off the big end, faint dust emerged from the stick, and sparks could be vaguely seen in the darkness.

Is this Tinder?

That's right.

How did you do it?

It's very simple, it's just wood chips that haven't burned completely.

Bi Fang made tinder, poured out the sparks in the stick, blew slowly, and quickly lit the flame.

Controlling fire to provide heat and light is one of the great early achievements of human beings. Early humans kept fire from fire sources produced in nature. Later, they learned to actively obtain fire by drilling wood for fire or tapping flint.

For wilderness survival, fire is our life. We need fire to keep us warm, to dry our wet clothes, to sanitize water, to cook food, to drive away wild animals, to give us confidence.

Harveys nodded unconsciously.

But lighting a fire is not an easy task, and even if it does, there will be situations where you need to leave, go out, or move your position. At this time, it is very important to keep the fire.

Skewing the musk beef on a tree branch, Bi Fang not only explained to Harveys, but also told the audience.

The easiest way is to find a piece of dry and thick wood, preferably a tree root, and the density should not be too high. If the density is too high, it will be easily extinguished. After igniting it, put out the open flame, and only sparks will remain.

In this way, you can carry it for a long distance. When it is about to burn out, ignite the next piece and repeat this way, and you can carry it for a long distance.

During this period, be careful not to let the spark go out. When it is about to go out, blow on it to let it burn. When you need to ignite it, just put the firelight on it, and then blow on it to ignite the firelight. .”

Captain Harveys nodded, seeing the stick in Bi Fang's hand, he knew it was this method.

In addition, bamboo tubes, bark can be rolled into tubes, and clay can be made into tubes or pots by hand. One end of the tube is completely ventilated, and the other end is left with half vents. First put semi-wet combustibles, such as rotten Leaves, moss, etc., and then set fire. Wait until the inside starts to smoke. Then seal half of it with soil. This kind of carrying method can generally be carried for about 2 hours at a time.”

[Two hours is a bit short, right? 】

[I also think, isn't this going to be remade every day? 】

【Sleep at night and light a bonfire, it's over, the fire is still kept】

Bi Fang shook his head: After making one, it will last for at least a day or two after turning it on and blowing it every two hours. It's not that troublesome. .”

The peat soil continued to burn, emitting astonishing heat, and the dark red musk beef was roasted to a golden oil, and a faint fragrance began to permeate the air.

If you have the conditions, you can also find a piece of pyrophorum, which is something that grows on a tree like a big mushroom. It is very big and hard. It is actually quite common in the forest.

After finding it, use fire to ignite some sparks in the middle of it, and then blow air to let it smolder inside.

If you want to put it in a backpack, you can put some green moss on the smoldering place, so that it can prevent the backpack from igniting and carry it close to your body.

How long will these things last?

Generally, such a pyrophoric fungus can smolder for four or five hours. The earliest primitive people have already carried kindling in this way. When they need to ignite the kindling, they put the kindling on it, and then blow it to ignite the kindling.

It's just that we don't have such conditions in the Arctic.

[Huozhezi is also based on the same principle]

[It is the combustion relationship between oxygen and fire]

[It is really easy to say, but it is still more difficult to do]

It's an eye-opener! Captain Harveys' eyes lit up and he was full of praise.

You have to have some real skills to rely on this to eat. Bi Fang smiled, turned the barbecue over, took out a bag of salt on his body, and sprinkled some on the appropriate place.

The oil is continuously secreted at high temperature, and the fragrance becomes more and more intense, which makes the index finger move.

Captain Harveys was quite surprised. He accepted Bi Fang's invitation just because he wanted to try something new. After all, he had never eaten musk beef before.

Looks like it's fine?

Finally, sprinkle a thin layer of salt, Bi Fang handed the finished barbecue to the captain: Taste it.

After the fat has passed high temperature, a large amount of fat overflows. Such rich fat is not wasted under Bi Fang's exquisite roasting. It penetrates into the meat fiber again, and finally sprinkles with a thin layer of salt to whet the appetite.

With such a simple treatment, it is impossible to say that it is so delicious that your tongue will fall off, but the taste is indeed quite good.

At least Captain Harveys felt that normal people would never be able to make such delicious food with only meat and salt.

A whole piece of thick gravy is rich in water and can be eaten clean.

anything else?

Harveys waved his hand: No, eating too much meat in the morning is not easy to digest, please be considerate of the stomach of the elderly.

The captain is not old.

Bi Fang looked at him, and Harveys looked about fifty years old.

Harveys smiled, and did not answer this question, but got up and continued to observe the Tesis in the ice breaking.

Dogs sometimes watch TV, but in fact dogs cannot read TV, they are just imitating humans.
