Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 283 Ah! ! !

"Huh, fortunately I gave you a look, otherwise something really happened."

The director of photography wiped the sweat off his forehead and let out a long breath. Fortunately, the guy didn't eat it, otherwise there would be a live broadcast accident.

Just now, the program team confirmed that the mushroom that the contestants wanted to swallow was the angel of death mushroom. In an instant, everyone was convinced by Bi Fang.

It is not everyone's ability to instantly identify easily confused poisonous mushrooms just by looking at them.

What a reassuring advisor!

The knockout had nothing to say, and let the helicopter send him out of the Rocky Mountains,

"It's my job." Bi Fang waved his hand, indicating that it's not worth mentioning. As a security consultant, he has the responsibility to avoid danger.

False alarm.

The monitoring team paid more attention to the contestants, and strictly guarded against them, for fear that they would devour some weird things again.

[Damn it, I can't eat it even after I found it, it feels even more dangerous. 】

[Queshi, it's a good thing there is Lao Fang, otherwise wouldn't he burp? 】

[But will mushrooms grow in this weather? 】

"Yes, many mushrooms will grow in winter, but I am a little surprised that the angel of death mushroom will appear." Bi Fang was reminded by the audience's question.

It is reasonable to say that the death angel mushroom should not appear until around April. It is not impossible for the mushroom to grow a month earlier, but is the temperature so high in these two days?

Bi Fang glanced at the thermometer and found that the temperature had reached about ten degrees.

It was still able to drop below freezing two nights ago!

Even if the temperature warms up during the day, five or six degrees is about the same, and it has reached ten degrees Celsius!

"Fehn?"

Rubbing his chin, Bi Fang vaguely guessed that the Rocky Mountains are close to a cold current, and there shouldn't be such a temperature in late February and early March. The only explanation is the appearance of the Foehn!

Pang Di heard Bi Fang mumbling to himself, and asked curiously, "Fehn, what is that?"

"A strange weather phenomenon in the Rocky Mountain region of North America."

When someone asked about it, Bi Fang also explained it to the audience.

The Rocky Mountains are formed due to the strong collision and extrusion between the American plate and the Pacific plate. They run northwest-southeast and are basically parallel to the west coastline of North America.

The area selected for the competition is located north of 50° north latitude. From the perspective of the pressure belt and wind belt, this area is controlled by the prevailing westerly wind belt all year round.

In the winter season, it is more affected by the cold air of the Arctic Ocean, with low temperature and snow.

As winter ends and the climate warms up, the high pressure on the North American continent will begin to weaken, and the cold air from the Arctic Ocean will also gradually weaken. On the contrary, the prevailing westerly wind from the Pacific Ocean will begin to affect this area.

Due to the blocking of the mountains, the warm and humid westerly wind is strongly uplifted by the terrain, forming abundant orographic rain. After passing through the tall Rocky Mountains, on the east side of the Rocky Mountains, the water vapor content in the airflow is less, and it goes down along the hillside Do the sinking exercise.

As the altitude continues to decrease, the air temperature continues to rise, and it becomes a dry and warm "foehn" in the foothills.

The Foehn phenomenon occurs in many parts of the world, including the Alps, the Greater Caucasus Mountains at the junction of Asia and Europe, and the Andes in South America.

"If it is okay to have water vapor, the evaporation of water will take away a lot of heat, but because the mountains are blocking, the water vapor is blocked, leaving only dry and hot wind. During this time, the temperature in the Rocky Mountains will rise very fast, like a huge The warm air blows against the ground, and the large amount of snow that was originally formed by the cold air from the Arctic Ocean will quickly melt.

You see, there was still a little snow on the ground two days ago, but it is no longer visible today. "

After hearing this, the program team immediately called up the images from the previous two days for comparison. No one noticed it before, but now it is true.

The forest floor was covered with a layer of white snow the day before yesterday, but it has completely melted at this moment, exposing the dark brown soil, which may turn green in a short time.

It melts too fast, right?

Generally speaking, the thicker the snowpack, the longer it will take to melt it in the spring.

Not to mention the wilderness, even in the cities, it would take almost a week for a heavy snowfall to completely melt away, but now this scene happened in less than two days.

"Because of the foehn, every spring, as long as the warm wind blows, the snow with a thickness of more than 10 centimeters will quickly melt within a day. The snow melts, the earth quickly rejuvenates, and many mushrooms will grow early. This weather phenomenon, Help local production, so the locals call this warm air current "snow eaters."

[What a good name, Snow Eater, Cowhide]

[No wonder the angel of death mushrooms are growing, and the mushrooms here will not be until April]

Many viewers said that it was an eye-opener, and there was such a weather phenomenon, which they had never heard of before.

On the other hand, Pang Di was a little puzzled. Will there be any impact on the rapid climate warming caused by the Foehn?

"As the temperature warms up, will brown bears wake up early?"

"Um……"

Bi Fang bowed his head and pondered for a while before nodding.

"This possibility is not ruled out."

audience:"!"

Lack of food is the main reason animals hibernate, and many bears won't even hibernate if food is plentiful.

"However, the probability is relatively small. Survival in the wilderness is inherently dangerous, and all kinds of dangers exist objectively. The contestants understand it in their hearts. Do you still want to give up recording because of this?"

Seeing Pang Di's worry, Bi Fang comforted him a little.

It was impossible for those wilderness survival programs in the previous life to give up recording because there were bears in the wild, so what's the point?

What I want is the sense of reality. Could it be that the places Mr. Pei went to were filmed only after the program crew captured the bears, tigers and wolves?

It must be impossible.

That's a waste of food because of choking.

Bi Fang patted Pang Di on the shoulder: "Okay, don't think so much, all we can do is to ensure the safety of the players as much as possible, go back and record."

"OK."

Pang Di nodded, the words were all on point, and that was the only way to go.

The competition of the contestants is still going on, and Bono, who was the first to start, has even walked nearly 70 kilometers away from the launch point, far surpassing other contestants.

Mugalen, who was the last to set off, was also not to be outdone. After eating food, he was energetic enough to reach a speed of seven kilometers per hour. He also made a detour on the way, apparently discovering something.

The only female contestant also made a discovery, a cave.

Ava stared excitedly at the cave not far away, and waved to Lisa: "Hey, Lisa, come and see!"

"cave?"

Lisa was a little surprised, then excited.

For two days, apart from eating some lichens and earthworms, they didn't catch any prey at all. What's in the cave they suddenly discovered right now?

[Have you settled for lunch? 】

[What's in the cave? python? 】

[Feels like a mouse hole? 】

【Shen Fang, tell me quickly, what's in it? 】

The forest is rich in species, and there are many animals that can dig holes, but think of local species, combined with the size of the hole...

Bi Fang stared at the cave, which was no longer than the width of a palm, for a while, and asked suspiciously, "It looks a bit like a prairie dog's cave?"

Prairie dogs?

What is that?

"It's the groundhog."

[Groundhog? I said earlier, I am familiar with this, ah! ! ! ! 】

【Depend on! There is a picture]

[It's that one! ! the groundhog? 】

Bi Fang nodded and explained: "There are a lot of groundhogs in the Rocky Mountains, and they usually live in grasslands with relatively low altitudes. This coincides with the route of the duo. What they want to pass through is forests and grasslands."

"And groundhogs do not hibernate, they are used to living in groups, they are highly social animals, they like to be active during the day, and they are good at digging holes. If it is really a groundhog hole, it means that there is a large group of groundhogs here, at least six or more! "

six!

The audience thought of the plump appearance of the groundhog, and their breath suddenly became stagnant.

Can eat for a long time!

The duo didn't expect this. They didn't know what was in the cave, but they were still happy. Just looking at the size of the cave, they knew that the animals inside would not be too small, at least enough for two people for a day.

Thinking of food, the two were full of energy. After a brief discussion, they immediately divided up and cooperated. Ava went to search for shrubs and branches, and Lisa, who was a member of the beret, searched for other openings nearby.

Seeing that Lisa blocked the newly discovered mouse hole, Bi Fang couldn't help but nodded: "It's a very correct decision. Many animals that are good at digging holes have multiple escape routes. If you only catch one hole guard, you may get nothing. Had to search around for other openings and plug them all.

Groundhogs are experts in digging holes. They have a basically independent tunnel system that can dig up to 5 meters deep. Down there will be storage rooms, living rooms, toilets, etc. Generally, at the end of the tunnel, there is a main nest with soft grass mats, and the infrastructure is quite complete.

In addition, Ava is also very particular about the branches she finds. Her purpose should be to burn the plants and smoke out the animals in the cave with smoke. Therefore, all the collected branches are fresh branches from the trees. Such branches have high water content. It also produces more smoke when burned. "

[Groundhog: trembling, the outside world is so scary]

[Grass, groundhogs live more comfortably than me! 】

[Wori, this quality of life is higher than mine. I have been working for three years, and now I can’t even afford a toilet. I’m so jealous.]

[Who is not? 】

When Bi Fang introduced the luxurious residence of the groundhog, many people showed envious expressions.

But when he thought that they were about to be eaten, he felt inexplicably relieved.

Bi Fang couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't say that, although prairie dogs are also rodents, they are natural fertilizers. They can continuously trim the grassland to increase the protein content and grass decomposition ability of the grassland, which is harmful to the environment. Great protection."

While talking, Lisa has blocked all the holes that she could find with stones, and Ava also used yesterday's charcoal fire to rekindle the fire.

After more than ten minutes, Ava lit the fire, and she put the branches and shrubs she had collected into it. The branches were quickly twisted and deformed under the high temperature, and a large amount of white mist was generated.

Seeing this, Ava quickly stuffed the bushes into the hole, took off her coat to block the fire, and stuffed the white smoke in the hole.

The white smoke had nowhere to go, it could only drift into the cave, quickly filling the entire crypt.

Lisa tightly held the spear in her hand, and when the animal emerged from the hole, she stabbed quickly.

Soon, rustling sounds came from the cave, followed by slightly ear-piercing screams.

"coming!"

Lisa was so excited, there really was something in the hole!

It seems that there is more than one sound!

The male red-beaked cowbird has a fake penis, which cannot shoot J, but it can rub the vital parts of the female bird, allowing her to shoot other birds in and JY out, and then the male bird intervenes.
