Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 484

The seventh day of survival in the Banna rainforest.

Nothing was gained in two days, and the sunk cost was getting higher and higher.

Bi Fang yawned, reached out and grabbed the edge of the hammock, turned over and swung on the edge of the vines, let go and landed.

Throughout the sixth day, Bi Fang stayed far behind the bison. Unfortunately, it did not go to its own salt mine base.

"Shouldn't it be possible to survive like this?" Bi Fang was puzzled.

It's not a good feeling after two nights in the field.

Last night, I used rattan to build a hammock between two trees at a height of two meters. It was not comfortable to sleep on. Not only was it not soft, but it was also very hard.

It made his back ache.

All the meat brought out from the camp has been eaten up, but a squirrel was caught yesterday. Apart from the squirrel, there is only half a konjac tuber left, plus the wild vegetables collected along the way.

Bi Fang put the frame on his back, took the wooden spear, cut off the vines on the tree, and continued on the journey: "We will continue to track today. If there is still no harvest today, then we can only find another way."

【This cow is pretty good at cooking. If I don’t eat salt for a day, I’m going to die】

【How can we live without salt? Thinking about it is scary】

【No taste in the mouth, no energy on the body】

[Brave and awesome, not afraid of difficulties! 】

Today's rainforest is still very lively, and the invisible birds are singing from all directions. Bi Fang leans on a wooden spear and marches forward step by step.

"There is a term called sunk cost, which is a historical cost and an uncontrollable cost for existing decisions, which will greatly affect people's behavior and decision-making."

"It's like we have been tracking to the third day, but the acquisition of salt is still far away. I don't know if I can get it today, or even tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."

Time and energy are the most precious resources in survival.

Obviously, it can be used to strengthen the campsite, build walls, set more traps, capture more prey, and find the possibility of iron smelting.

But now, all was wasted on tracking a bison, expecting to follow it to obtain more valuable supplies.

Bi Fang wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I have put in a lot of energy and time. If I give up, it will mean that these three days will be a pile of feces, worthless. No, feces can still be composted. Now it is nothing."

[Wooooow, the storm is crying]

[These days, even dung has its own value, only me is useless]

【So sad, I always feel scolding me】

"Many people are unwilling to give up at such times. Even if they run out of ammunition and food, they feel that they are about to succeed. This kind of mentality is a taboo in the wilderness. Don't be lucky. If there is no harvest today, I will stay where I am. Return."

Not all persistence pays off, and it's pretty foolish to keep your head down when there's no sign of success.

When it breaks, it breaks.

Perseverance or not is not determined by reading a chicken soup article.

Except for scientific experiments, nothing can be copied blindly to get the same results.

At least for now, Bi Fang, who has no meat but only some vegetables, feels that today is the deadline he can leave for himself.

"It looks like it's going to rain again today."

The leaden gray sky brought endless depression to people, and the dense plants in the rainforest made people even more breathless. Bi Fang's brows frowned even deeper.

Living in the rainforest does not feel natural, only the suffocation of being trapped in a cage of vines.

Many viewers who watched from the beginning to the end, keenly found that the frequency of Bi Fang's frowning was significantly higher in the past two days.

Through the gaps in the leaves, today's forest is obviously darker than yesterday, maybe it is cloudy, in short, it is not good news.

Thinking about it, no one thought that it would take so long to find a salt mine. There are still thirteen days left. Can iron be smelted?

The audience didn't know, they couldn't even figure out how to practice, let alone estimate the time, but they were a little worried after seeing half of the 21st day coming soon.

Stepping on the edge of the river bed with one deep foot and one shallow foot, Bi Fang looked at a section of the river where the hoof prints suddenly disappeared.

"Crossing the river?"

The hoofprints of the bison disappeared here, and Bi Fang bowed his head. The river channel became narrow and clear here, from a small river to a creek. It was crystal clear and not very deep.

It seemed that the bison crossed the river, and Bi Fang had already seen the hoofprints on the other side of the river.

The riverbeds on both sides of the stream are relatively high, and the water source only flows at the bottom, with raised stones on the edges, and a large number of dead branches and leaves, and even rotten trees are accumulated on the curved side, which are basically washed down from the upstream.

Stepping on the raised stones on the bank, Bi Fang jumped to the opposite bank and pointed to the river under his feet to introduce to the audience.

"This kind of river bed is quite common in the Banna rainforest. The runoff of surface rivers is completely different in the rainy season and dry season every year, and some even disappear completely in the dry season. The river in front of us should be very deep. The rainy season is continuous. Scouring the bottom of the river, it dries up again in the dry season.”

While talking, Bi Fang suddenly stopped.

[Hey, where are people? 】

[How big is it? 】

[Internet speed is not good, you are stuck]

【Take a shot, just take a shot】

【Where are you filming TV next time? 】

Bi Fang returned to the river bed from the shore, stepped on the stones into the stream, returned to the side before crossing the river, swept away all the dead branches beside the stones, and a small dark hole appeared in front of everyone.

At the edge of the small hole, there was so much wet yellow sediment that it was about to overflow, and the color was obviously different from the surrounding area.

All around are black, or dark green stones covered with moss, just such a lump of soft tread is bright yellow, it's hard not to notice it!

Bi Fang poked the hole with a branch, and after confirming that there was nothing there, he stretched out his hand and wiped the yellow mud at the entrance of the hole.

[What the hell is this shit, the color is so weird]

[Get started directly? 】

【This looks like it!】

【yue】

[It's S, it must be S, right? 】

[There are fish in it? then what? 】

Twisting the yellow mud and rubbing it in the palm of his hand, Bi Fang raised his hand and brought the yellow mud close to his nose to smell it, and a unique rusty smell rushed into his nostrils.

Then he stretched out his tongue and licked it again, and the unique salty smell spread across his tongue, like fresh blood.

The audience was disgusted for a while, perfectly interpreting the subway, the old man, and the mobile phone.

Bi Fang's original frown suddenly relaxed, and the pressure that had been lingering in his heart completely dissipated.

Good stuff, really good stuff!

Originally, I was thinking of looking for a salt mine, but in the end, I found the most critical item for survival this time.

iron ore!

If I hadn't happened to go back and introduce the river, I would have almost missed it.

Bi Fang took out a bamboo tube, rinsed his mouth with water, and happily explained to the audience. After hearing his words, the audience was shocked.

This big yellow thing, you tell me it's mine?

[Don't think that I can deceive me unscrupulously because I am uneducated. You tell me that this thing is iron ore? 】

【Ah, I'm blind】

[Referring to mine! 】

[Let's let the idiom go, please! 】

[I believe in Boss Fang! 】

[Boss Fang? When did Lao Fang add this name?]

[Some people have called it that since the club opened, Boss Fang is amazing! 】

Boss Fang smiled brightly: "This is iron bacteria, not the kind of thing you think. I had it in my initial search target. I wanted to find the salt mine and concentrate on searching, but I didn't expect to break through the iron shoes." There’s nowhere to look, and it’s easy to find.”

Iron bacteria?

【Never heard of nouns added】

[Strange Knowledge Cat Appears! 】

[Explain, explain, forgive my ignorance, hurry up]

Bi Fang looked at the sky, it had become very dark, and it seemed that it would rain soon, so he quickly fished out the 'yellow mud' in the cave and threw it into the frame.

"Iron bacteria, as the name suggests, are a type of microorganisms that live in ponds, lakes, hot springs and other waters with high concentrations of ferrous ions."

"They oxidize ferrous iron salts to ferric iron compounds and use the energy generated in this oxidation process to assimilate carbon dioxide for growing bacteria."

"This microorganism uses organic matter as a nutrient source. Its growth requires organic matter and prefers organic compounds of iron and manganese. When the organic matter is utilized, iron and manganese will be excreted as waste and attached to the filaments of the bacteria."

A lot of concepts of chemically mixed organisms were thrown out, and many people were a little dizzy.

[I understand, how about you? 】

[I also understand, it's very simple, isn't it just a kind of microorganism? Don't know this? 】

[Scratch your head, am I the only one who doesn't understand? 】

[Did you listen carefully when Mr. Fang was in class? You will be punished for copying a hundred times! 】

【I'm copying, I'm copying】

"It's a little dark now. I guess it might rain next. Fish them all out now, otherwise it will be inconvenient to fish them when the river rises, and there is a possibility of being washed away. Let's look for them nearby , there should be many more."

Iron bacteria generally live in slightly acidic water with less oxygen but more dissolved iron and CO2. Alkaline environment is not conducive to their survival, and the surrounding environment should be acidic.

Fished out all the yellow mud, the back had turned brown, and was accompanied by a strange smell, but Bi Fang didn't feel disgusted at all, and fished it all out.

The whole bark box sank.

After removing all the iron bacteria in the small hole, Bi Fang searched in other directions, not missing every small hole, and found two more.

The third place hadn't been dug yet, and ripples began to appear on the surface of the water.

It's raining.

Bi Fang wiped away the water droplets that were about to drip from the tip of his hair, and accelerated the digging speed.

"The rainy season is really annoying. It rains twice in three days. It may still be sunny when you go out during the day. In less than an hour, it will rain heavily. Fortunately, this rain does not seem to be very heavy."

After digging all three holes, Bi Fang was drenched.

Fortunately, almost one-third of the bark frame was filled. With such a large amount, it was more than enough to make an iron sword.

[It feels very hanging, can so many be refined? 】

"Enough, you don't know how heavy they are, and they feel exactly like iron sand, more than enough."

Bi Fang covered the bark frame with leaves to prevent too much rainwater from entering and flowing out from the gaps, so he carried the big frame on his back and chased towards the bison.

Entering the rainforest, the rain drops a lot at once.

"I should have made a raincoat in advance." Bi Fang scrambled among the trees with his head in his arms, looking around, and found an arched structure full of vines.

The thick vines grew in a curved way, leaving a large space inside.

Bi Fang lifted it up, looked around for large leaves to cover it, simply tied it, drilled in, and the wind and rain were immediately isolated.

"Unfortunately, the situation is a little urgent. The leaves are not tied up. It may be washed away when it rains. I hope this rain will end soon."

Bi Fang wiped the mud on his body, sprinkled it, and then grabbed a lot of palm leaves stained with iron bacteria from the bark frame, and began to weave.

"In order to prevent problems before they happen, we still prepare a raincoat in advance, so that this temporary shelter will not be washed away and I will run around again."

"Many people should have heard of coir raincoats, solitary coir coir raincoats, and fishing for cold snow alone. In fact, many coir coir coir capes are made of palm leaves. Of course, the effect is not as good as that made of authentic coir coir grass, but it is enough for us. used."

Palm leaves can be used to weave relatively simple coir raincoats. The process is fast, but they are relatively thin and have poor rain-shielding effect.

The coir raincoats made of coir grass are relatively thick and have sleeves, which are very effective in covering the rain and keeping warm.

But now Bi Fang doesn't pay much attention to it, as long as it can be used.
