Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 652

It was already very late, and when it was late, most of them hesitated whether to continue to starve for the night, and waited until the next morning to leave.

Originally, Bi Fang should prepare the shelter within two hours before dark, but when he saw the mountains close at hand, he was still impulsive.

He was so hungry, even in the wilderness, he had never been so hungry. When people are extremely hungry, they are always not too rational.

After three days of not eating, coupled with the heat taken away by the cold, Bi Fang was undoubtedly more hungry than normal at this time.

A dry stomach occupies the high ground of IQ.

Of course, without complete occupation, Bi Fang is quite rational.

His strong eyesight allowed him to see more clearly and farther, and to grasp the distance more accurately. He had a premonition that he could arrive before dark.

Fortunately, Bi Fang was right.

Now it's not even half an hour before dark, no, a quarter of an hour is doubtful!

Ninety-nine percent of people in the world have the impression of the Arctic Ocean as a world of ice and snow, with monotonous colors.

Indeed, due to the harsh climate, the Arctic Ocean region is indeed not welcomed by plants, and red flowers and green trees are rarely seen.

The plants on the island are mainly mosses and lichens, and hardy herbs and small shrubs grow on some southern islands, but this does not mean that this place is dead and barren.

On the contrary, the Arctic Ocean is a paradise for many animals, such as the famous polar bears, seals, arctic foxes, reindeer, snow hares, whales, herring, cod, etc. In summer, there are many birds along the coast of Siberia.

In fact, the potential of creatures is extremely huge. Even in the north and south poles, no matter how harsh the environment is, they can always occupy a place and survive successfully.

Even if Bi Fang walked nearly 3,000 miles on the vast ice sheet, there would essentially be arctic foxes and polar bears, but because there is no bottom food chain, Bi Fang didn't see any of them, which are already scarce.

"There may seem to be no food in the interior of the polar regions, but just keep an eye out."

"In this remote place, animals are rarely disturbed by humans, so it is not difficult to capture them sometimes."

"For example, penguins. Of course, this creature only exists near the Antarctic Circle. I'm just giving you an example. Many early explorers used them as food. I heard that penguin meat tastes a bit like beef and mutton, and there are layers of fat and lean meat. distinct."

"And rabbits and lemmings, foxes and wolves, caribou, musk ox, arctic caribou, elk and moose, seals, seals are fat, but they're big and sometimes aggressive. And finally there's polar bears, better not Bumps—they're very large and usually aggressive."

【I feel that if I go to the North Pole, even if I really need to avoid danger urgently, it is unlikely that I can beat it.】

[Polar bear: Thank you for the warmth in winter from the old iron. I am worried about having no rations, and there are three bear cubs to raise at home. Thank you for your kindness! 】

[Be confident, normal people can't get out of that ice field, and don't know the direction at all. If I were on the ice field tens of kilometers away, I would just run around like a headless chicken, and I would freeze to death long ago]

But in this situation, it is impossible to catch animals.

Time does not allow it, it is impossible for Bi Fang to find the beast trail in ten minutes, and he has to set up traps, and hunting is even more impossible, unless he waits for the rabbit, and it would be nice to be able to eat some grass.

Bi Fang's goal is also some plants.

"Most of the plants in the polar regions are edible, usually peeled off, dried and boiled, or added to boiled tea, some can be eaten raw, and some are rich in trace elements, which can replenish the body needed."

"For example, polar willow—the bark, shoots, and new roots are all edible and rich in vitamin C."

"Litmus can be boiled or soaked. Most of the lichens and mosses on rocks are also edible. Lichens and mosses are good food sources, but not in large quantities. Cook or bake them before eating, and don't eat them all at once. There are many. Stone fungus is the best ingredient, and it can also be eaten raw.”

"Spruce and pine needles, buds and bark can be boiled and eaten. Back then, the Chinese volunteers used pine needles to make tea and solved night blindness, so they could fight beautiful battles at night repeatedly."

"Also there's the lingonberry, the red berry that's packed with nutrients and the leaves can be boiled or roasted, and the wild cranberry - the golden-yellow berry that's high in vitamin C and the leaves that can be used to make tea."

"If you have something to make a fire, like wood, or vegetable, or animal fat, then you can make a fire so you can cook, but it's hard, and without a lot of time and luck, it's almost a no-brainer, and don't expect things like that in the low Branches can be easily found to make fires as in latitudes."

"However, lichens and mosses are still easy to find on exposed rocks, and reindeer live on them. There are 300 kinds of lichens and 600 kinds of mosses found in Greenland. In 1954, people were still at a depth of 3,400 meters in the Arctic Ocean. Bacterial and fungal spores were found everywhere."

Bi Fang knelt on one knee in the snow, pawing at the rock in front of him with both hands, sweeping away the snow, revealing a cold and smooth stone surface, without the moss and lichen he mentioned.

But Bi Fang did not give up, and scraped off the snow in the cracks between the stones and the permafrost, and a faint green finally appeared in front of everyone.

There are actually plants!

The audience was shocked.

Greenland is primitive. Here, every mountain that everyone sees is hundreds of millions of years old, and the ice floes are tens of thousands of years old.

It has been a realm of myth since ancient times, and this remote island has been the source of all fantasy and mystery.

The dazzling aurora, the boundless tundra, the flickering icicles, the weird icebergs, the near-extreme cold and the Inuit who hardly speak, are as pure as a fairy tale world.

But that is for travelers, and for survivors, this place is simply an extremely cold hell.

But even in a snow-white world, green plants can still grow tenaciously in the cracks.

What does it live on?

The low temperature of tens of degrees below zero, the cell fluid is frozen, right?

[In other words, why are polar plants evergreen? I think it’s mostly green]

[Holy shit, when you put it this way, it seems to be like this. Shouldn’t high latitudes be seasonal? 】

"Because the polar regions are full of bryophytes, also called tundra, which is a biome that grows on cold permafrost. It is a biome in an extreme environment. There are many special adaptations to the harsh environment of the polar regions."

"For example, the stems and leaves of these plants are tightly attached to the ground, which can withstand the pressure of snow well. As long as there is a short period of warm weather every year, the plants will germinate immediately, and it will take two months to complete growth and flowering. , a solid process."

"Evergreen is to better absorb sunlight. There are no changes in the four seasons here. Half a year is daytime and half a year is night. Evergreen plants can survive. It's not bad, so there is no seasonal change."

"The falling and rising leaves of trees are for better energy storage. It is not easy for polar plants to survive, let alone store energy, so they grow very slowly."

Bi Fang directly picked the young leaves and stuffed them into the mouth, like chewing ice cubes, there was no taste, no feeling, and it quickly entered the stomach.

Although it is best to cook moss once, but now Bi Fang has no conditions at all, and it would be good if he can fill his stomach.

Bi Fang has confidence in his digestion ability.
