Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 806 Rapid Heating (Two in One)

The desert at night is not more beautiful than the desert during the day. It may not be as exposed as the daytime, nor as endless as the daytime, but it is the peak period of many dangerous biological activities.

Wolves, scorpions, poisonous snakes.

The harsher the living environment is, the more powerful and lethal the biological survival ability inside it is. In the face of human beings who have no self-protection ability, the aggressiveness displayed by it is undoubtedly fatal.

However, compared to the harsh environment, the most terrifying thing is still the loneliness in the heart.

The wider the world, the smaller the human being.

The unobstructed sky reveals its whole picture, and the strong sense of emptiness releases the inner loneliness a hundredfold.

Everyone's own fears are hidden deep in their hearts, which are aroused against the backdrop of the dark night and the boundless galaxy, almost popping up one after another.

Anyone who is not strong enough to face this world alone will be deterred.

It is a pity that the person who is discouraged will never be the current Bi Fang. After taking risks again and again, as long as there is a little weakness and fear in his heart, his grave will already be covered with grass.

The stars are so bright that they don't affect travelers on their way at all. Bi Fang even saw the shadows of himself and the camel on the sand dunes. The silver-white fine sand under his feet is like bright dry snow. Walking on it is like stepping on a thick layer. Blanket.

Camels have thick fur, so they are naturally not afraid of low temperatures. Bi Fang felt a bit of cold, and felt the reality of existence in this cold.

The night in the desert is soft, the red flames have turned into silvery white sand, and the glittering Milky Way is about to be blown down by the wind.

What wolves, what poisonous scorpions, none of these can scare Bi Fang. Compared with the arrogance and fiery red and hot day in the desert, the starry night in the desert is really gentle and moving.

The valley is full of wind, the sky is full of stars, that kind of silent dark blue, with yearning in loneliness.

Most of the audience in the live broadcast room came from Point Nemo, where the starry sky is just as bright, but the nature in the northern hemisphere is different from the starry sky in the southern hemisphere, and the desert is different from the ocean after all.

It has crossed half of the earth, from the ocean to the desert, and now it has another flavor.

【It's been a long time since I saw such a pure starry sky. The last time I saw it was when I was a child, with my grandfather.】

【This sky is a luxury for everyone living in the city. 】

[The Qaidam desert is also good, it seems that Fangshen’s live broadcast is less (dog head)]

[Indeed, step up efforts! ! ! Give Lao Fang some attention! 】

[The old friend is gone, and the stars all over the sky leave behind a different feeling. 】

[Okay, so fucking beautiful]

For thousands of years, we have been obsessed with the majestic sun, the clear moon and the bright stars.

In addition to signaling changes in time and geographical location, these mysterious celestial bodies also nourish our endless imagination.

Since the Mayans used their naked eyes to observe the starry sky and predict the future thousands of years ago, now we have invented the 'eye of the sky', which can bring human vision to incredible distances.

We're always trying to learn more about the universe, the planet we live on, and where we've come from.

At some point, Bi Fang got a straight wooden stick in his hand and used it as a crutch. While pulling the camel, he told everyone the secret of the starry sky.

It's just that the audience's attention seems to be a little different.

Where did this wood come from?

[Fuck, it's a sacred tree stick! 】

[By the way, where did this thing come from? 】

[It's Fang Shen's two-dimensional ass! 】

[One thing to say, no tree sticks played last season, Ye Qingjie]

Is this? Bi Fang raised the long stick in his hand, the feeling of holding it was unexpectedly good, he pointed to the road he had walked before, and there were still clear footprints on the gravel, I was just under the sand over there. The one I picked up was hardwood, the length and feel were pretty good, and it felt very comfortable, so I took it away.”

Perhaps it was dropped by a traveler or something,

【Don't pick things up randomly】

【Ape dung, this is ape dung】

In the early morning of the next day, the silvery sand finally turned into Gobi, and the ground turned back to solid ground, and various shrubs could be seen here and there.

Bi Fang found a huge boulder as a shelter. After checking that there were no poisonous insects or snakes, he cleaned up the nearby gravel, took out a huge wooden nail from his backpack, and rummaged through the pile of rubble to find a piece of suitable size. Thresh was about to drive a peg into the ground, but the peg missed, and the stone was split in two with the first blow.

The gray-white rock split in two neatly, slipped from his hand, and fell to the ground with a loud sound.

【Stone: I Crack】

【After playing, Fang Shen discovered the fact that he is a superhuman】

[Wilderness powerhouse, so terrifying]

Due to the large temperature difference between day and night, the rocks on the surface of the Sahara will continue to expand with heat and contract with cold and fall apart. The peeled-off gravel will be weathered into large and small gravel and sand, and the fine sand will be blown to lower places by the wind to form sand dunes. , the gravel remains nearby to become the Gobi Desert.”

Sometimes a stone that looks complete on the surface may have many dark lines inside, and it will break under a little force. We just need to find a new one.

After turning over the gravel, Bi Fang continued to smash it, but this time there was no problem.

A wooden stake less than half a meter long was inserted into the soil little by little, and Bi Fang poured some water on the ground in the middle.

In the past when building houses in the countryside, some people may have seen contractors perform various unique skills to help you 'save money', such as water ramming.

Because water is pervasive, after watering, the sand, gravel and soil will be tightly bound together after drinking water. They will use this method to lay the foundation.

Of course this is wrong and not standardized, because after the soil moisture is lost, the soil density requirements for backfilling will not be met, and subsidence will still occur after a long time, but there is no problem for us to use it in a short period of time.

With the water mixed in, Bi Fang shook the wooden post, and it didn't move at all, it was very firm, and he tied a brightly colored cloth head on it.

Taming a camel is a very tricky thing, because once a camel gets mad, ten people can't hold it back, so we have to train an operant conditioned reflex that allows the camel to be quiet.

[What is operant conditioning? 】

[Simple understanding is conditioned reflex (cover face)]

[If you do well, you will be rewarded and stimulated, and then increase the probability of the behavior, which is probably like this]

【All big guys】

[Understood, it is the PUA of the camel]

A lot of camel owners start by digging a brightly colored stake wrapped in red thread deep in the ground to tie their camels to.

In the beginning, the untamed camels would keep resisting, pulling the rope desperately, trying to pull the small stake out of the ground. Of course, this is impossible. It is very difficult to pull the nail half a meter deep It's hard to pull out.

One last try and one failure after another, the camel will think that the log with the strip of cloth is invincible.

At this time, just insert a piece of wood with the same strip of cloth on the ground. It doesn't need to be inserted too deep, and the camel will turn around the stick instead of trying to pull it out. This has successfully created a Conditioned reflex.

“Sandstorms are often encountered in the desert. When an unexpected sandstorm comes suddenly, in order to prevent their camels from getting lost, some members of the camel team will quickly stick a wooden stick on the ground, and then put one or even several camels together. Tie it to this little stick.

When the owners of the camel caravan were swept away by the huge sandstorm, those huge camels would often lie firmly around the small sticks, guarding there every step of the way.

【Diao】

【This is PUA! ! ! 】

In order to speed up, we need to add some reward links among us to help form an inherent cognition.

After finishing all this, Bi Fang tied the camel to the stake, not the rein on the nose, but tied another one on the body, and then took off the blindfold.

When some light was restored in the sight, the camel started to struggle immediately after being stunned for a few seconds, but the stake was firmly inserted on the ground without any shaking.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the tired camel reduced its struggle intensity.

After confirming the stability of the stake, Bi Fang also leaned on the rock, turned off the live broadcast, and took a nap for several hours.

When Bi Fang woke up again, it had changed from early morning to noon the next day, and the air became sultry again. When he opened his eyes, he could see the ripples of heat waves in the distance.

After turning on the live broadcast, when the number of viewers gradually stabilized, Bi Fang walked out from the shadow of the stone, his eyes narrowed, and the sand fell from his body.

The male camel, which was more than two meters tall, squatted on the spot, and the stake was still the same, without any change.

But when Bi Fang approached, the giant beast quickly stood up and began to struggle again.

Bi Fang was not discouraged, it was all expected, he rolled up the sleeves on his arms: Today is only the first day, we still have two more days, don't worry, and today we will start training in lying down.

All camels have to be trained to lie down; first tie their front legs with a rope, and pull it hard from the spine over the head. If the left front leg can't bear the strength, a push or a push can make the camel fall to its knees.

Or wrap a rope around the calves of the two hind legs, and pull it to make it lie down.

No matter which method is used, you must hold the camel's rein in your hand, press the camel's head down, and at the same time call out a password to make it kneel down in conjunction with the action.

After getting used to kneeling, just press its head inward, lightly pull the rein, and say a command or action, and it will automatically lie down.

It's not just for the camel to kneel down and get on the camel for riding, it's more about having a sense of obedience.

[I understand, it's still PUA]

[For training, can it be called PUA (dog head)]

[Fang Shen must be good at training dogs]

【I want to be Fangshen's dog (love)】

[Receive the taste, it's too coquettish]

When a camel is one year old, it is easy to tame by tying its legs and putting on a bridle, but when it is an adult, it needs to put on a nose tie, put on a bridle, and train behind the tamed camel. One person leads the camel, while the other drives the camel from behind, so it is convenient for the camel to learn.”

But we don't have domesticated camels, so it's bound to take more work.

Covering the eyes of this gigantic camel with a set of poles, Bi Fang untied the rope, pulled the camel to the shadow of the boulder, and began to train it to pull.

As he said, Bi Fang tied the camel's legs with a rope, then pressed his head, and pulled the rein.

When the huge camel was dragged by Bi Fang and actually knelt down, the audience in the live broadcast immediately cheered.

But Bi Fang knew that this was just the beginning.

Now it is blindfold training, and there will be eye-opening training later, each step is more complicated and difficult.

The training of animals, especially the training of wild animals, is a process that requires patience, so don't be impatient or take it lightly, and pay attention to observe their small movements and beware of them violently.

Beware of it stopping suddenly, backing off, or throwing a tantrum, so that the nostrils are cut and the nose falls out.

Like a dromedary, it usually shows its displeasure by stomping and running, as well as spitting and kicking. When you see these movements, you should know that it is time to rest.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Bi Fang, who had made the camel stand up and kneel countless times, brought the camel back to the stake, tied the rein again, and took off the blindfold.

Sufficient supplies, water and food are enough to last for more than three days, but the camels still need to eat and graze.

There are only two ways to make animals obedient.

One is to rely on deterrence, whipping, intimidation, and physical pain, just like a circus tiger, but you have to be careful that one day it will bark its teeth at you.

The other is to let the animal understand what it should do, and after doing it, its life is far better than its original survival in the wild. It is a survival choice with more advantages than disadvantages, like a pet cat yearning to live outside the window. After a month, I will go home obediently.

As a positive energy anchor, Bi Fang certainly would not choose the first option, as it does not conform to his moral values.

I didn't look carefully before, but now I realize that this camel is really big, even among normal male camels.

With his hands on his hips, Bi Fang looked at the camel that was struggling again, carefully sizing it up.

Its hump is also very swollen, indicating that it usually eats well, and it doesn't worry about food and water for the time being. However, this does not mean that it does not need to eat. After each successful training, it also needs to be rewarded to make it willing to be tamed .”

It's more troublesome to eat well.

Bi Fang rubbed his chin, if he couldn't provide a better life than before, it would also create some resistance for him to tame the camel.

afternoon.

Bi Fang came to the camel with a bundle of various hay and a lot of fruit, which was the result of his busy afternoon.

If someone familiar with desert plants is here, they will definitely recognize what these dry grasses and plants are.

Quinoa quinoa, camel quill, dum palm fruit, and desert gourd.

The first two are known by their names, and they are the favorite food of camels, while the latter two are the fruits that Bi Fang managed to find.

Fortunately, there is still muddy land around here, there are quite a lot of plants, and there are one or two trees growing here and there, otherwise it would be really difficult to get food for the big guy in front of him.

Even Bi Fang deliberately picked out the tender parts, sweating profusely from exhaustion.

He picked a red-brown fruit and stuffed it into his mouth to chew, the juice overflowed and gave off a sweet smell.

Dum palm fruit, people living in the Sahara Desert often use its peel to make molasses, I don't know why, I feel like it's not that sweet, but the taste is okay.

And this, the wild desert gourd, is a member of the watermelon family that grows abundantly in the Sahara desert.

Bi Fang picked up another melon, half the size of a head, and weighed it in his hand.

Its roots, leaves, and fruit store large amounts of water throughout the year and are a good source of food and water for any desert animal that can break through the rind, and its large yellow flowers are also edible.

【Camel: I have never eaten such a sumptuous meal in my life】

【Is it a decapitated meal (dog head)】

[I'll start after I'm full, right?]

[No, I seem to have heard someone say last time that watermelons in the desert are poisonous. Is this really edible? 】

[Good guy, you don't believe Fang Shen? heresy! 】

[I seem to have heard it too, don’t eat watermelons in the desert, they are all poisonous]

That's another matter. The poisonous watermelon you mentioned is medicinal watermelon. If you cut it open, you will find that it has cotton-like fruit inside and no water at all. It is indeed poisonous, but it is also used by local people. Treat stomach problems.

The watermelon I'm holding now is called Kaffir watermelon. Its origin is the African desert. It is grown in the local desert area as food, and even as a source of water in the dry season. It is also used by the indigenous people for bathing.

The locals call it 'chama'. This thing has been planted in ancient Egypt at least four thousand years ago. Now it is not only in Africa, but also in more places. As a kind of plant, in the southern plains of the ugly country, It is also called Songgua and Grapefruit Melon.”

Bi Fang split the melon open, and the flesh inside was also white, but it was not white cotton wool, but like a normal watermelon, it was fine particles, full of water, but it was not sweet at all, and even had a bitter taste.

The pulp of this thing can not only be used to replenish water, but also to protect against sun and keep water. Some people even say that it can survive in the desert for six weeks just by chama.

Bi Fang grabbed a handful of the pulp, squeezed out the water and applied it directly on his face and arms, feeling a burst of coolness immediately.

Medicated watermelon and Kaffir watermelon look very similar. They are almost exactly the same. Even the color of the flesh is similar, but one of them is cotton wool, and the other is the same as a normal watermelon. It is easy to distinguish.

And Kaffir watermelon is actually more common, but most marketing accounts don't talk about it, and are more used to scaremongering. If you see desert watermelon, you should avoid it. Just listen to it, even if it is a poisonous drug. Watermelon itself is also useful, it can kill bacteria and reduce inflammation.”

Camels are resistant to roughage and can eat short, sparse, thorny, woody shrubs with small leaves that other livestock do not eat. They can also eat various rough straws, branches, and withered grass. Survive for a long time in Gobi, desert and other environments.

But being able to endure hardship does not mean that one must endure hardship.

If you can eat fish and meat, no one really likes to eat bran swallowed vegetables unless your health does not allow it.

Bi Fang's big bundle, to the camels, is a big fish and meat for humans to eat, and even dessert fruits, which are full of benefits.

It vomited once before, but after escaping, it did eat something, but its stomach was still empty. After a few attempts, the camel gave up struggling and started chewing.

For the next two days, Bi Fang continued to do leash training and regular feeding every day.

For animals, apart from reproduction, there is nothing bigger than eating.

As for reproduction, the camels, which ended their breeding season two months ago, said they did not have those worldly desires.

The relationship between the two heats up rapidly in front of the beautiful food.
