Live Wilderness Challenge

Page 506

Only then did the audience understand why Lord Xu attached so much importance to finding firewood.

With the current posture of the Argentine mountains and forests, it has been raining for so many days and there is no sun at all. The temperature in the jungle may have been as low as only a few degrees.

With such a low temperature and humidity, if there is no fire, it is indeed easy to freeze to death.

"It seems that a warm baby is necessary for survival in the wild!"

"Because of Master Xu's live commentary today, Sobao Nuanbao's official direct-sale store is already sold out."

"The case Xu Ye mentioned is too annoying. Just because of the quarrel, the man can leave the woman alone and freeze to death?"

"Oh, man."

……

Because of the case, many female viewers sent bullet screens to express their condemnation.

And the male audience also "not to be outdone", saying that not all men are like the case cited by Master Xu, who cannot be killed with one shot.

In the process of quarreling between the two sides.

Chen Xu quickly turned over a hillside.

Beside a boulder covered with moss, he found a few tall trees with brown bark and green crowns.

Seeing this, he immediately turned pale, took out the Indian tomahawk, cut a hole in the tree trunk, and then started tearing the bark along the hole.

But because it was drizzling all the time.

A large amount of water droplets accumulated on the bark, and Chen Xu tore it hard, causing a large amount of water droplets to splash on his body.

Some viewers expressed their incomprehension, why did Master Xu insist on tearing such wet bark? What is the difference between this and those wet wood that has been soaked in rain for a few days?

In this regard, he took this piece of bark and smelled it, then shook his head with a smile and said, "No, this is eucalyptus, which is mainly distributed in Australia and Madagascar, and there are also a small amount of distribution in other places in the southern hemisphere."

"Eucalyptus is the same as birch in the northern temperate zone of the northern hemisphere. The bark contains volatile oil, which has a strong combustion-supporting effect and is very resistant to burning. Among them, birch bark contains tannins, while eucalyptus is eucalyptus oil."

“The bark is easy to identify because of the volatile oils, so they have a very strong aroma, just like the dipterocarp tree that we have used many times in Borneo, it smells like a cooling oil. "

"Not only the bark, but also the leaves on the branches, which also contain eucalyptus oil, which can support combustion; for the time being, let's find a few iconic points, connect them, and record their positions."

"When we go to sneak attack on the suying of other survivors and return, we will get some and bring them back. Otherwise, we will just take them on the road, which is a waste of energy and limits our speed and flexibility!"

Done.

Chen Xu glanced around, and began to remember the position of the eucalyptus according to the points he could see.

"We are in a complex and dense mountain forest. If we want to remember a point, we must look for large-scale reference objects as much as possible. The bigger the better, such as the top of the mountain, such as a river, etc., and try to find three."

"This is called the triangle positioning method. We all know that a triangle is the most stable structure. The same is true for confirming coordinates. Three-point positioning is more accurate than two-point positioning."

After finding enough three reference objects, he slowly left.

after an hour.

Chen Xu turned up another hillside, and bypassed the crack in the mountain where he picked up the airdrop bag before.

Go to the trunk of an arbor in front of you.

He took a few breaths, took out a small piece of compressed biscuit from the oilcloth bag, took a bite, and replenished his energy.

It was almost noon in Argentina.

In other words, before he knew it, he had been walking for most of the morning.

Because of the drizzle, the ground was very slippery, and the further up the mountain, the more trembling the slope, the ground was very wet and slippery, and the physical strength consumed by the journey was almost several times that of usual.

As a result, Chen Xu had no choice but to stop and take a rest like now.

but.

And while he was chewing on the compressed biscuits.

Suddenly, he seemed to smell something.

While talking, he took another two steps, sniffed it carefully, then frowned and said, "It seems like the smell of fireworks!"

The audience was taken aback.

In a place like the Argentine jungle, where birds don’t shit, and it’s still raining all the time, there is only one possibility for the smell of fireworks:

There is a campsite nearby!

"There are enemies ahead!"

"Don't be cowardly, let's go together!"

"Are the few people upstairs poisoned by eating chicken? Please, don't use it anymore. Hurry up and gather at the ruins on the top of the mountain and prepare a butt gun!"

"6666!"

……

Chen Xu did not answer everyone's barrage, but made a "shh" gesture, took out his Indian tomahawk, and walked towards the direction where the smell of fireworks was strong.

You know, rainy days are the weather that can best cover up the smell.

In this environment, he can smell it, which is enough to show that the location of the camp is very close to him!

Subsequently.

He walked forward cautiously.

And at this moment, between the two trees in front of him, a huge palm leaf shed suddenly attracted him.

someone!

And more than one!

I saw that under the huge shed area, there were a total of three female survivors, kneeling on the ground, blowing non-stop around a smoking fire in the middle.

"Thank goodness for finally getting the fire going again!"

"Huh... If Lisuo and Bob come back and know that we have put out the fire, they will definitely say us!"

It was two women who spoke, and they seemed to have weak viability.

But Chen Xu heard two familiar "old friends" from their conversation.

Rizzo in alliance with Bob Sen?

Chapter 9 and One: The Kids Next Door Are Crying

If so.

For Chen Xu at present, the situation has become somewhat unfavorable.

You must know that both Bob Sen and Riso are among the survivors with extremely high PSR scores. Once they form an alliance, they will inevitably complement each other in capabilities, exchange resources, and crowd out other survivors.

In this way, a "lone wolf" like Chen Xu would definitely be the first to suffer.

Taking advantage of the time when the three female survivors were talking, he carefully walked around the campsite.

After confirming that there were only these three women in the camp, his thoughts became active.

That's right.

Chen Xu prepares to "attack" the campsite.

Although the number of guards in front of me is a bit too much.

But since those who can be kept are mostly injured or weak people.

After observing for a long time, he said: "Sneak attacking this kind of campsite, the previous method of attacking east and west will not work, because there are too many people staying behind, even if one is lured away, two women stand there and stop him. Can't do anything at all."

"Besides, it's too time-consuming to set up traps, attractions, etc. We don't know where Bob Sen and Riso are now. If they happen to come back and meet us when we set them up, we will easily fall into a passive position." .”

"After all, the program group doesn't allow attacks, but they didn't say that they don't allow physical contact. Once surrounded by the other party, three or five people rush up and hug you with brute force. You can't move! In the end, you can only be robbed of your equipment. , that's 'you can't lose money if you steal the chicken'!"

"This is also one of the main reasons why the survivors who have snatched the airdrops always avoid other people. Therefore, in the face of such a situation where there are many people but the individual ability is not strong, the most important point is to be fast. Get them caught off guard!"

While Chen Xu was explaining his plan, he began to arrange the equipment on his body tightly so as not to affect his speed. "The time is too short, and the shed they built is too big to block my sight. I can't see too many useful things."

"Judging from the current information, the fire is the most useful thing for them in an environment of continuous rain. It's a pity that there may not be enough time to extinguish the fire in front of the three women. Can use tools to rekindle the fire."

"So, the most important thing is to take away their fire tools!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xu pointed to the yellow object behind one of the women's buttocks.

Through the close-up of the camera, some viewers discovered that it turned out to be a cut wild pineapple!

what's the situation?

Is a pineapple a fire tool?

Give me a break!

"Master Xu, are you sure that pineapples can be used to light fire?"

"666, could it be that the acidity of the pineapple is used to set the wood on fire?"

"Master Xu must have made a mistake. Their pineapples are probably roasted and eaten. I didn't see that they are all covered with wire, so they are easy to hang up!"

"Shout three times at the pineapple: pineapple jackfruit, the pineapple will catch fire by itself, don't ask me why I know!"

"Grandpa Xu: Don't throw away the pineapple after eating, wrap it in egg liquid, sprinkle with bread crumbs, and it will automatically start a fire when you put it in the pot. The old people and children like it, and the children next door will cry!"

……

Faced with all kinds of "disbelief" and "ridicules" from everyone, instead of getting angry, Chen Xu's eyes lit up and said: "Although everyone has everything to say, there are people who are half right!"

"That's right, it seems unreliable to start a fire with a pineapple. In fact, it uses its acidity. When you study chemistry, you should know that if you put copper and zinc into acidic things at the same time, you can generate electricity. "

"And they used this chemical principle to make a fruit-pineapple battery, and they cleverly cut the pineapple into small pieces, each of which is an independent battery individual, and then connected them in series to generate a lot of energy. Great power."

"Finally, connect this electricity to a capacitor, and it only takes half an hour to store 8 volts, which is enough electricity to create an arc and ignite a fire!"

!!!

After listening to this long series of explanations, the audience was completely dumbfounded!

"Fuck, what did I hear? Why can't I understand?"

"I used multiple theories such as the Bayerville reaction, the Raffles Magis reaction, and the Gabriel synthesis method to prove that Master Xu was right!"

"Chemistry scum said that I don't understand at all!"

"It's awesome! Most people can't think of such a complicated way to start a fire. I'm afraid the other party has a master of practical chemistry, right?"

……

Looking at the bullet screen, Chen Xu nodded, "That's right, these principles seem simple and not complicated, but if you really want to connect it with actual field materials, it is generally difficult for you to think of it if you are not a chemistry expert."

"The reason why I want to snatch the pineapple battery is not the pineapple itself. This thing is everywhere in the wild. What is really rare lies in the zinc copper wires and capacitors on it. If I guess right, these things should be from them. Got it in the backpack."

"So, once we take those things away, they lose a powerful condition for starting a fire!"

Done.

Chen Xu bent his body, aimed at the pineapple battery, and his thigh muscles began to accumulate strength.

next second.

Just hearing the sound of "brake--", Chen Xu rushed out like half a cannonball!

So fast!

The audience only felt a black shadow flash across the screen.

The trembling of the bushes caused by Chen Xu's start also alarmed the three women in the camp.

but.

Just when they turned their heads to look over.

Chen Xu has already rushed forward!

"what!"
