Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 457 Red Mud

"Mud?" Leonardo repeated hesitantly.

What is the operation of mud, isn't it to light a fire, and then burn the soil into pottery?

Finally brittle and use sharp shards as weapons?

Leonardo thought about the broken porcelain at home, it was really sharp

[Who said before that the next step is to make weapons, the prophet knife]

[Is it a stone spear? 】

[Didn't you hear that Fang Shen said that he wanted to make ironware before he came? Directly open the furnace to smelt iron! 】

Bi Fang didn't reply, his nostrils fluttered, he sniffed the air lightly, amused: "How much insect repellant you have applied, the smell is pungent."

Leonardo was a little embarrassed: "No way, there are too many mosquitoes here."

He suspects that if he is exactly like Bi Fang, without any clothes and insect repellent, once he stops, he will probably be sucked to death by mosquitoes.

Even when he was sitting on the ground knitting shoes just now, Bi Fang drove away mosquitoes while knitting.

If not, the shoe could be made a little faster.

[I remember Fang Shen said a long time ago that looking for water sources depends on animals and insects. If you go to places with many mosquitoes, you can often find rivers]

【Yes, I also remember this, it seems to be said in Qinling】

【The ones in front are all old fans】

"Yes, mosquito larvae are completely aquatic, so as long as there is a small standing water, such as a small flower pot on the balcony, it can reproduce in large numbers."

An adult female mosquito lays eggs in stagnant water and can lay more than 300 eggs at a time, as long as you leave it alone and keep the container with water, it will reproduce.

The eggs will hatch into larvae after 24-48 hours in the water, and the development will be completed after about 10 days. Finally, about 2 days later, the developed mosquitoes will become adults, and then begin to look for food not long after.

It can be called barbaric growth.

Not to mention being in the rainforest, the water vapor here is so rich that we don't even need puddles, just moister soil will do.

[For mosquitoes, I have always hated them! 】

【How could God create such a devilish creature? 】

[In order to fill the vacancy that there are no mosquitoes in winter in our country, a scientist finally developed a cold-resistant mosquito]

[I've read the news, I should pull it down and cook it! 】

【Share me a piece of the pie! 】

[In fact, after filling the vacancy, there will be a lot of food, which will help animals survive the cold winter, and is very beneficial to ecological protection. I can't make it up anymore]

"It's because there are too many mosquitoes, so we have to make weapons to resist them." Bi Fang, who put on his shoes, waved his hand, signaling Leonardo to follow.

At the same time, I looked around and found a broken branch.

Pull off all the excess branches, and a nice tree stick will appear.

"Because there are too many mimic animals in the rainforest, and the dark environment is easy for you to be recruited, so a good tree stick will become particularly important at this moment. It can help us 'to scare the snake'."

"You can also prepare one, after all, our routes do not completely overlap." Bi Fang looked at Leonardo behind him and suggested earnestly.

Leonardo smiled, turned his head to look around, and learned to pick up one, but it was not as straight as Bi Fang's, and the appearance was a bit worse.

【La la la, late but arrived】

[I knew it, I knew it! 】

【You can always trust a straight tree stick! 】

[If you get lost in the rainforest, don't worry, calm down, and find a straight wooden stick as a weapon first! 】

[You have obtained the artifact, go find a beast and try it! 】

"Where did I just talk?" Picking up the stick, and being interrupted by the netizen, Bi Fang almost forgot what he was talking about.

"Mosquito, you said you want to use clay to make weapons against mosquitoes." Leonardo added.

In connection with the soil that Bi Fang mentioned, Leonardo has already vaguely guessed something.

Leonardo is not ignorant, he has met many different people in his travels, even in Africa: "Are you going to paint in mud?"

Bi Fang frowned, but did not deny it: "Have you ever been to Africa?"

Leonardo nodded: "Where have I filmed a movie before, and I've seen the locals do it. To be honest, I think it's quite primitive. They even use mud for bathing."

Bi Fang was noncommittal, but netizens scratched their heads, feeling that they could not understand the alien communication.

Mosquitoes, dirt, Africa?

What and what.

"Do you know what is the animal that kills the most in the world?" Bi Fang did not answer directly, but asked the audience.

what is it

Before waiting for the audience to react, Bi Fang had already given an example on his own: "Great white shark? Lion? Tiger? Or poisonous snake? Poisonous spider? In fact, none of them. Mosquitoes have always killed the most people."

mosquito?

The audience was stunned for a moment, but many people also reacted.

disease!

That's right, no creature spreads disease more than mosquitoes!

"There are a lot of people who may not understand, but in fact, the "Life Science" website once rated the 10 deadliest animals in the world, and they are the most threatening to human life.

It is unbelievable that the deadliest animal in the world is not the crocodile, the great white shark and the African lion, but the inconspicuous mosquito.

Unexpectedly, the most dangerous animal in the world is actually a mosquito. There are currently different species of mosquitoes everywhere on Earth except Antarctica. Most of the time a mosquito bite is just itchy, but some mosquitoes carry malaria parasites. This is a parasitic disease, and the causative agent is called Plasmodium.

After Plasmodium enters the human body, it will parasitize the red blood cells in the human body. People infected with malaria will have symptoms of hot and cold. More than 2 million people die from malaria every year in the world, and mosquitoes are the main culprit.

Therefore, it is well-deserved that mosquitoes are called "the number one killer of human beings". It is very necessary for us to make "weapons" to resist them. "

Two million people died!

Fuck.

Hearing this extremely exaggerated data, the audience was all taken aback. In modern society, there are still diseases that can kill millions of people?

"Now everyone who can watch my live broadcast is actually very lucky, because it means that you can still have a mobile phone, a computer, and a TV, and the society can provide you with a good network environment. It’s something that many people can’t have, or even see.”

"Banna is an area with a high incidence of dengue fever, which is mainly transmitted by mosquito bites. On the first day Leonardo and I came to Banna, the local news reported that a person was infected with dengue fever again this year. careful."

Bi Fang sighed, and still remembered the frown that Director Zhou frowned when he heard about it.

"In a good economic environment, the sanitary conditions are superior, but in many places in Africa, the local people do not have such good conditions. I know an indigenous tribe and know how to resist mosquitoes."

"Simply put, it's mud, covering the whole body with mud, and using the smell and thickness of the mud to resist mosquito bites."

"In some very backward places, if you can't even get this kind of soil height, then some Africans will directly use animal feces to smear it. Although it has a certain effect, this method is unacceptable."

When Bi Fang said that he would rather smear feces to avoid mosquito bites, the audience fully understood the horror of mosquitoes.

This is a situation that has not been encountered in any previous adventure.

Only in the face of death can people put down their shame and smear the dirtiest things.

"Why don't you look for some herbs to repel mosquitoes? With your ability, it's not difficult, right?" Leonardo was a little curious.

He has watched all of Bi Fang's live broadcasts, and as a Chinese, it is not difficult to find herbs to repel mosquitoes.

Why do you have to smear mud?

Such a good figure, it's a pity to be covered with mud.

[Yeah, why do you have to smear mud? 】

The audience is also very curious, there is no need to be so, right?

"How long can you keep the toilet water on?" Bi Fang didn't answer directly, but turned to ask the audience.

[Uh, how many hours? 】

【I feel like I haven't had it for a few hours.】

【Once you sweat, it will have no effect. 】

"Isn't that the reason?" Bi Fang smiled, "Common products in modern industry cannot effectively repel mosquitoes. Sweating and moving will reduce the effect, let alone the mosquito repellent found in the forest, it is not Doesn't work, but limited and leaves a very noticeable smell on us."

Ninety-nine percent of any substances that can be directly used in nature are inferior to industrial products.

It is reasonable for human society to develop for so long.

It's not that the more primitive the better.

It is also very troublesome to use herbs to repel mosquitoes. It needs to be re-made every once in a while, and tools must be made to smash them to obtain juice.

It's not as practical as coating it with a layer of mud. It's not only easier to find, but also more effective. One is chemical isolation and the other is physical isolation.

"It's not that there are no plants in Africa that can repel mosquitoes. People call them 'anti-mosquito trees'. Most of the local Africans choose to build houses near these trees or plants."

"But other than that, Africans still smear mud on their bodies, which can prove a lot of things. What we are looking for now is this kind of mud, red mud."

"Red mud, also literally red mud, is mainly composed of laterite, a terrigenous material carried by rivers. It is rich in iron oxide, and if anyone has worked in a ceramic factory, you will know that this is also a common pottery material."

"So this time, we are not only looking for red mud, but also looking for water sources!"

Iron juice people, some monthly tickets.
