Chapter 805 Taming the Camel (2)

In order to tame camels, ancient humans thought of many ways and spent a lot of energy. They finally found out the method of taming camels with nose sticks and reins through their noses through repeated taming processes.

The nose is the most sensitive organ of an animal, with the most abundant nerves. Especially for camels with a well-developed sense of smell, the nose is the weakness. Therefore, when the nose is pulled, the camel will become gentle and docile.

The wooden stick worn on the camel's nose is called a nose leash in Mongolian. It is usually made of hard wood or horns such as red exploding wood points, red willow, yellow elm, and sheep horn. The nose leash made of these woods will not be damaged even if it is broken. Camel nose.

In the desert, Bi Fang held down the camel's sack and moved the backpack upwards to block the line of sight while exposing the camel's jaw.

The camel snorted, and its lips were exposed. Everyone could clearly see the huge canine teeth in its mouth, which were extremely ferocious.

[No wonder you can pretend to be a tiger tooth, which is too big]

[This biting person is not a few blood holes, a little scared]

[Watching Lao Fang reach out and approach, it feels like watching a crocodile in a circus performing with its mouth open]

When taking off the backpack, the camel resisted a little, but Bi Fang firmly controlled it.

Most herbivores can't exert force well when they are completely on their sides on the ground, mainly because of their body structure.

The burly body and slender limbs make their center of gravity too high, but they basically don't have muscles below the knees, so they don't have enough strength. We can easily hold them down.

Bi Fang wound the noose into a circle, carefully passed it through the camel's mouth, and tightened it tightly to prevent the camel from biting people.

If some insignificant wounds in the desert are not treated in time, you may get desert sores. The wound will be painful and swollen, and it will deteriorate at any time and you will not be able to walk.

We have to be careful and try not to let ourselves get hurt a little bit.

【sharp】

【This is what a man should do】

【Fangshen is my idol】

After Bi Fang put on the nose ring, the first step was completed smoothly.

As Bi Fang said, the camel with the nose ring didn't react too much, as if the extra piece of wood in the middle of the nose didn't have any effect at all.

Then came the reins.

In Mongolian, Brenteg means the reins for leading camels. One end is tied to the camel's nose stick, and the other end is controlled by the shepherd.

It plays an important role in the camel equipment, so the shepherds are forbidden to throw the reins, and hang them neatly on the Sihana of the yurt when they are not in use.

After tying up the reins, Bi Fang took out a rope cloth bag from the bag and stretched it open, revealing a structure like some kind of cage.

The thing in my hand is called Daomuger, which is actually a bridle for male camels. It can prevent male camels from biting other camels or hiccupping. In many places, colorful cloth strips are sewed on it to make Daomuger more vivid. .”

When the camel foams and demonstrates, it forms a bright color with the colorful cloth strips, making the male camel more mighty, which is a unique aesthetic appeal.

Put on the nose ring, put on the bridle, and tie the rein, and all the tools for pulling the camel have been completed.

If you install a camel saddle at the end, you can ride normally.

It's just that the tools are just appearances. Riding a camel ultimately depends on the training quality and temperament of the camel itself. Bi Fang has just completed a project for face.

The next step should be training on the leash, but it's getting dark now, we should find a place to spend the night as soon as possible, or go back along the same road, but before that, I need to help it stand up.

A camel is not an elephant. If you fall down, you can't stand up at all, but it will take some effort.

But since it can’t see anything, it doesn’t dare to move at all, and it will go crazy after taking off its hood. For this reason, Bi Fang has to help it stand up, and then lead the camel to move.

Bi Fang found another piece of cloth and used it to replace the backpack, then used tools to make a small shovel, and began to dig sand around the camel.

There is sand all around us. It is very simple to make a camel stand up. Just hollow out the sand under its body, and it will stand up naturally.

A pile of sand was lifted up and piled up in the surroundings, and the angle of inclination of the camel also changed little by little.

From fully flat, take another thirty degrees, forty degrees.

By the time Bi Fang grabbed the rein and pulled it up from the 60-degree slope, it was completely dark.

It took a whole day just to catch the camel.

There was a hint of coolness in the air.

The average temperature difference between day and night in the Sahara Desert can reach 42°C, that is, forty degrees during the day, and maybe only minus two degrees at night. Now I can feel the chill. I suspect that the current temperature may only be seven or eight degrees, and it is still Keep going down.

It was just dark, and the temperature dropped so fast.

Many viewers felt a little unbelievable.

Really a sharp drop.

Many people think that the reason for the large temperature difference between day and night in the desert is that the sand has a low specific heat capacity.

During the day, light and heat are rapidly absorbed by the top sand grains and released back into the air, superheating the air and causing the temperature to soar. At night, most of the heat in the sand is quickly dissipated again, cooling the surrounding environment.

However, this phenomenon is not enough to explain why the temperature in the desert drops sharply at night, or it is only one of the reasons, but if you have experienced it yourself, you know that the cooling is really incredible.

The blindfolded camel obediently followed the lead.

Bi Fang purposely lengthened the reins and extended the distance to three meters to prevent the camel from suddenly jumping up.

In fact, the main reason for the sharp change in desert temperature is that the air in the desert is very dry, with little precipitation and few clouds, which cannot absorb the heat radiation of the sun. Therefore, the temperature of the desert during the day is very high. For example, the humidity of the Atacama Desert in Chile Almost zero.

Water vapor in the air acts like a giant, invisible blanket that traps heat on the ground and prevents it from escaping into the atmosphere.

Air with high humidity also requires more energy to heat, which means it takes more time for the heat to dissipate and the surrounding environment to cool down.

This is the underlying reason why the temperature in the desert varies so much from day to night.

And it is also because the temperature drops too fast, and many times people can't react, leading to a state of body hypothermia. If no measures are taken to raise the temperature, life will soon be endangered. This is why the coldness of the desert is obviously not as cold as in high-latitude regions. So exaggerated, but still a deadly reason.”

If it's a normal crossing, I might choose to find a place to rest as soon as possible at this time, but in order to prevent accidents and tame the camel as soon as possible, I'd better drive overnight today.

Under the starry sky, Bi Fang led the blindfolded camel towards the desert.
