Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 527: Boss Yao One Step Faster

[The aging of the population has caused the number of bears to skyrocket, a path that has never been imagined. 】

[The young people are all going to work, and this is my world again, the black bear king, wow ha ha ha ha]

【You black bear, can it steal cassocks? 】

"If you don't believe me, it means that you haven't seen the deep meaning of this." Bi Fang said meaningfully.

Everything is connected, especially human beings and nature. Changes in human society are fed back to nature, and the impact is huge.

"At the end of the last century, Japan developed rapidly, and the cities siphoned the surrounding labor force like a whale sucking water. Many young people in the villages poured into the cities, resulting in a serious aging of the countryside. As the elderly gradually aged, many villages became even more. 'No man's village'."

"For example, in 2015, as many as 190 existing villages disappeared in Japan."

Bi Fang casually mentioned a set of data, which stunned the audience. So many villages died in one year?

It doesn't happen overnight to become an uninhabited village. Besides, Japan's economic downturn is still like this. Isn't there more in the past?

With the disappearance of villages, the habitat of wild animals is also increasing in disguise.

A village composed of hundreds of human beings has a huge radiation range to nature.

The disappearance of hundreds of thousands of nail-like villages is equivalent to a paradise for a large number of wild animals, and there is no more crushing-level civilization here.

Coupled with the conversion of energy and building materials, people's demand for wood is further reduced, and trees can grow luxuriantly.

"At this time, the trees around the village are gradually luxuriant, and the uninhabited village has become a paradise for wild animals, but problems have arisen, due to the reduction of carnivores, mainly wolves, the Japanese wolf was extinct long ago, so the wild deer It started flooding."

Hearing this, many viewers have already understood.

Many people have learned a text in elementary school. In order to protect the deer, a large number of wolves were killed. As a result, the number of deer herds grew wildly, and the entire forest was wiped out.

"Lack of natural enemies, wild deer's ability to escape is weakened, so that bears, which are originally omnivorous and mainly vegetarian, have a very stable source of meat. In this way, at the end of the 20th century, bears also quietly multiplied in many places in Japan."

"The reproductive ability of black bears and brown bears is similar. Most of them have a gestation period of about 7 months, and then they can give birth to 1-4 cubs at a time."

"At this time, there are no natural enemies of bears in Japan, so the survival rate of bear cubs is also very high. In addition, there are fewer and fewer people around bears. At the beginning of the 21st century, wild bears began to flood."

"The number of bears has increased significantly, resulting in a significant lack of food in the original habitat."

"At this time, black bears and brown bears began to go down the mountain to find food near human settlements, which increased the conflict between humans and bears."

"I made a special inquiry before. According to the statistics of the Japanese Ministry of the Environment, in the 1990s, there were only 20-40 cases of bear injuries per year, but after entering the 21st century, it began to increase gradually. A bear wounding incident."

Bi Fang explained that what he showed Jarrett and others before were all the more serious incidents. In fact, the annual bear wounding incidents are far more than those few deaths.

According to Japanese statistics, the number of brown bears and black bears in Japan is between 22,000 and 30,000. Combined with their fertility, Japan has formulated a plan to kill thousands of bears every year, because only in this way can bears be controlled in a relatively stable state.

[Wori, ninety-five cases per year, isn't that too much? 】

【This bear is a disaster】

【I want to eat bear's paw】

[Damn, I suddenly remembered, can Lao Fang eat a bear's paw this time? 】

Seeing the barrage, Bi Fang stopped and thought about the rules carefully. It seems that the Japanese government did not say that all prey obtained must be handed over?

"A whole bear's paw is worth one point. There is no rule that you can't give up this point. In theory, it seems possible."

I wipe, can I eat bear's paw?

Bi Fang who wanted to understand this was stunned.

The audience was shocked.

[Holy shit, shit, can you really eat it? 】

[Send me some, let me try something new. 】

What does bear's paw taste like?

You can't have both fish and bear's paw. Ninety-nine percent of people know what fish tastes like, but Xiong has never thought about tasting it. Without him, after eating this meal, he will have clear soup and rice in the future .

In most areas of the world, brown bears and black bears are protected animals, especially in China, they are even national second-class protected animals.

In the whole world, Japan and Russia are the only exceptions. The latter is due to the wide distribution and large number of bears in the local area, while the former is caused by ecological imbalance.

The frequent occurrence of "bear infestation" has forced Japan to kill thousands of bears every year, but despite this, the "human-bear conflict" has not been resolved.

Under such a problem, Bi Fang was lucky enough to taste the bear's paw.

Rubbing his palms together, Bi Fang rolled up his cuffs.

The Kii Peninsula is subtropical, and there are many mosquitoes, especially in midsummer. He still clearly remembers that when he first went to the Banna Rainforest, there was only one case of dengue fever on the news, but after the live broadcast ended, there were hundreds more cases.

In order to avoid being bitten by various insects, despite the hot weather, Bi Fang did not wear short sleeves, but a thin shirt,

Now he was really interested.

Bear's paw, I don't even dare to think about it, why don't I try it?

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapon. After all, human strength is much inferior to bears. If you want to deal with bears, you must choose long-range or even long-handled weapons. Although I only brought two daggers, then I They are used to make spears."

Bi Fang moved between the forests, picking the right wood, whether it was iron spears, stone spears, or simple wooden spears, he couldn't choose trees casually.

"The spear shaft must be tough, at least it cannot be easily broken when it is squeezed by a huge force."

"Generally speaking, wood is divided into two types: coniferous wood and broad-leaved wood. Coniferous wood mainly grows in the north, while broad-leaved wood mainly grows in the south."

"Most coniferous materials are relatively dense and grow slowly. They are high-quality wood spears, such as northeast pine, ash, oak, etc."

"The material of broad-leaved wood is more complicated. Some materials are relatively loose, such as fir, but some materials are extremely dense, such as camphor wood and red sandalwood."

【Red sandalwood making wooden spears, a bold idea】

[How bold are men, how expensive are wooden spears]

"The Kii Peninsula is located on the route of typhoons and climate fronts. It is one of the wettest areas in Japan. There are subtropical plants such as banyan trees and palms and temperate osmanthus forests. The inland is mountainous and rich in cedar, which will make our materials Finding a certain degree of difficulty, if possible, we'd better choose camphor wood."

"The origin of the camphor tree is Japan, the Ryukyu Islands, China and Southeast Asia. The whole tree has a fragrance, fine wood, tough and soft texture, not easy to break, and not easy to crack. It is my ideal material,"

Bi Fang raised his nose lightly, catching the scent molecules in the air.

Camphor wood is rich in volatile oil and has a strong special aroma. It is one of the sources of high-quality perfume extraction, so the smell is very strong. As long as it is nearby, the smell must be very strong.

With Bi Fang's current sense of smell, walking in the forest, he quickly caught a faint fragrance, which is refreshing and pleasant, and followed this smell.

After about 300 meters, a huge tree appeared in front of everyone.

[Holy shit, this tree is so tall! 】

[This is thirty or forty meters, right? 】

[Practice your eyes, this tree is about 25 meters away]

Bi Fang nodded and said: "Camphor tree is an evergreen tree belonging to the Lauraceae family. It can reach a height of 50 meters and is hundreds of thousands of years old. It can be called a towering ancient tree."

"However, it is rare to see such a tall camphor tree. The tree in front of me is about 20 meters high, and the common ones are between 15 and 20 meters."

The fragrance in the air is so strong that it chokes the nose.

Bi Fang rubbed his nose, put down his backpack, and prepared to go up the tree to pick a few suitable branches, put his feet on the tree, and climb up bit by bit.

"Camphor, together with Nan, Catalpa, and Tong, are called the four famous trees in the south of the Yangtze River. It can be said that they are all treasures. The camphor and camphor oil extracted from the rhizomes, branches and leaves of camphor trees can be used to make film and film. Camphor leaves can be extracted from tannins. It can be used to control rice borers in agriculture. The silkworms fed with camphor leaves can be used as materials for weaving fishing nets, and can even be used as sutures for surgical operations.”

Selecting a straight branch, Bi Fang took out his harpoon, aimed at the root and chopped it down hard.

"The most important thing is that we can also use its camphor leaves to prevent insects."

"If you go outdoors in summer, you can try it. Pick the leaves of the camphor tree, crush them and apply them on the surface of your hands and feet, which has the effect of repelling mosquitoes. However, camphor trees are actually attacked by diseases and insect pests. This is how nature always works. One thing beats one thing."

Three straight sticks fell from the leaves and fell to the ground.

Bi Fang grabbed a thick branch, jumped down from the air and rolled, and picked up the stick on the ground.

"The spear should not be too long. Generally, it is enough to be similar to your height. Any longer is not only inconvenient to use, but also increases the risk of breaking. Now we can start a fire and make them simply."

Bi Fang collected some dead grass nearby, dug a pit, took out a lighter from his bag, and touched it lightly, a large amount of sparks splashed down, and the fire was quickly ignited.

Whether it's a bow drill, a hand drill, or a rattan sawing method, everything pales at this moment.

"It's still industrial products that ignite quickly."

The flames illuminated Bi Fang's face.

The moment the magnesium rod collided, it was almost like a flame was ignited in the hand. If you didn't hold the handle at the back end, your fingers would burn off a layer of skin.

[I bet a pack of spicy sticks, the same type of fire stick as Lao Fang, will be put on the shelves in the club's small supermarket within half an hour]

[You lost, it was put on the shelves before this live broadcast]

【Boss Yao is always one step ahead】

Sitting in front of the bonfire, Bi Fang took out his harpoon and silently cut the wooden spear.
