Live Wilderness Challenge

"Hush... huh..."

He blew twice symbolically, and then tore the whole mouse apart with his hands, only to hear a "crack", the outer skin was roasted crispy, and there was still crumbs, but the meat inside was quite oily and tender.

The two shared food with each other.

Chen Xu endured it for so long, and couldn't wait, so he took a bite.

"Squeak... squeak..."

The wild mouse's flesh, bones, and internal organs were fully cut and ground by his teeth in his mouth, making a sound like fried beans.

"Hmm... the taste is better than I expected. It doesn't have any meaty taste, but most of it tastes like internal organs, with a bit of bitterness. It's like eating pork liver. It's probably because the skin is burnt. .”

Chen Xu took a bite of the roasted mouse, and quickly took another bite of the roasted snake.

Similarly, the snake skin made a crunching sound in his mouth.

"This is an old taste. It tastes similar to chicken, and it tastes better than mice..."

The live broadcast room is full of old viewers, and they already knew that no matter what, Master Xu's mouth can eat flowers!

"666, Xu's metaphor is here again!"

"I don't know what's going on, I feel sick when I see a mouse, let alone eat it!"

"Actually, mice are quite delicious. There are such snacks everywhere in Guangdong and Guangxi. Master Xu just didn't dispose of the internal organs and didn't add seasoning..."

"Mice are called ground monkeys in our house, and there is a dish called ground monkey's egg soup!"

"Passing by with three squeaks means that these are pediatrics."

……

Chen Xu chatted with the audience while nibbling on the food.

However, the happy time is always short-lived, and within a few minutes, the snakes and mice were eaten up.

He licked the oil star on his hand unsatisfied, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Phew... I finally feel like eating a little bit, this is the benefit of fat and protein."

"Because they are rich in a large amount of amino acids, they can prolong the feeling of satiety, and this is something that fruit plants can never achieve."

"So, this is why we eat a lot of carbohydrates, but still feel hungry, although the energy intake is the same, but some nutrients are still not as good as meat."

"The most important of these is the high sodium, which is salt, which is very helpful for our energy recovery."

We chatted for a while.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Xu wanted to pack his things and get ready for bed.

Thanks to Lina's help today, they finally don't have to squat on the ground all night, they can just lie on the plank bed and have a good rest.

Because there is hot food in the stomach.

Lina didn't feel as uncomfortable as yesterday.

But just a few minutes after the two of them lay in bed, when Chen Xu was about to download the broadcast.

Suddenly, in the entire mountain forest, a huge boom sounded again:

boom--!

Before Chen Xu and the audience could react, the ground began to shake slightly.

The entire bamboo shed followed the ground, shaking back and forth, making "creaking" and "creaking" sounds.

There was also a rustling sound in the nearby woods.

Another earthquake!

"Fuck, is there another earthquake?"

"I don't know if the earthquake is strong or not?"

"It's unscientific. How can there be two earthquakes in the same place in one day? Logically speaking, the magnitude of the earthquake this afternoon is so low, it's impossible for the aftershocks to last until night?"

"Sexy earthquake, online shaker!"

……

Chen Xu and Lina were also frightened by the sudden earthquake, so they jumped up and ran out of the bamboo shed, found an open grass field and squatted down.

The entire earthquake lasted about ten seconds.

Then it was the same as in the afternoon, every half minute, followed by another aftershock until the shock became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared.

Thanks to the fact that he chose to reinforce the bamboo shed at the beginning, the bamboo shed did not collapse at all no matter it experienced hailstorms or earthquakes.

Chen Xu touched the ground, and after confirming that there was no tremor coming up, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It should stop, the magnitude is not big, and the range of the tremor is still felt, but unfortunately, I fell due to the earthquake in the afternoon, and I didn't pay attention to it." Feeling the difference between the two, I don’t know who is stronger and who is weaker in these two earthquakes.”

"It should be about the same, or in other words, this time it will be stronger than last time!"

Unexpectedly, Lina actually picked up the conversation.

He was slightly taken aback.

Because Lina is just a professor of biology, he never imagined that non-geology majors would be able to distinguish the magnitude of earthquakes.

When an earthquake occurs, most people's first reaction is to think about how to survive, and their hearts are full of panic, and they don't have the heart to notice the size of the earthquake.

Even if someone has a strong psychological quality, notice it.

But the amplitude of felt earthquakes is very small, so the difference of a few tenths of a magnitude, ordinary people do not know how to do it, and they cannot distinguish it without instruments.

Lina seemed to sense Chen Xu's surprised gaze, it's not easy!

So the corner of his mouth curved, and he proudly pointed to the puddle next to the bamboo shed, which was formed by the uneven ground and accumulated water from rain.

"During the earthquake in the afternoon, I ran out of the bamboo shed and took a look at the water ripples in the puddle to judge the magnitude of the earthquake. This was when I joined the army and was in the youth training camp in southern Tahiti. The judgment method given by the instructor of the field team."

"And just now, I chose the same puddle as a reference, and through the moonlight, I found that the size of the water ripples in the two is the same, or slightly larger tonight. Of course, my memory is not very accurate."

Halfway through the explanation, Chen Xu understood.

When an earthquake occurs, selecting a reference object is one of the easiest ways to directly see the magnitude of the earthquake.

Glancing at the barrage in the live broadcast room.

Seeing that someone felt something was wrong, he also frowned slightly and said: "Lina, if your calculation is accurate, then I'm afraid something will really happen. As some bullet screens said, under normal circumstances, the same place, in one day In such a short period of time, it is very rare for two earthquakes with the same mainshock magnitude to occur."

"unless……"

9Chapter 16 A snap of fingers

"You mean..."

Lina seemed to think of something, and the words came to her lips.

Chen Xu nodded: "It may be a background earthquake. When two main shocks with a magnitude less than 5 on the Richter scale occur at the same place and occur consecutively in a short period of time, it can be considered as a background earthquake caused by the normal movement of the earth's crust. .”

"This kind of earthquake generally does not have a big impact on people's lives. For example, in Japan, Peru, Malaysia and other places, such small earthquakes often occur, but what we need to know is that they are located in the Pacific Rim where the plate is active. In the volcanic earthquake zone."

"But Argentina is different. Most of its land is not within the range of the earthquake zone, so there is no possibility of daily crustal activity. Then, the occurrence of today's background earthquake can only infer another result..."

"A major earthquake may occur in the future!"

Big earthquake!

As soon as these words came out, it was like a "heavy hammer", hitting Lina's heart.

People are afraid of death.

What's more, these guests are only invited to participate in the program. Signing the life and death certificate and knowing that one will die are two completely different mentalities.

"666, I really admire Master Xu's analysis ability, which is comparable to the Galaxy supercomputer!"

"This knowledge reserve is really awesome!"

"A big earthquake is going to happen, and many people will die. Can the show continue? Should the safety of the guests be the main priority?"

"Don't, I don't want the show to end so soon!"

……

Chen Xu didn't want the show to end because of this, he hadn't finished his two main tasks yet!

But this big earthquake is no joke.

Once it happens, don't say you are a wilderness expert, even Captain America will die here.

Man can never defeat nature.

Therefore, compared to the "almost certain death" mountain earthquake, he would rather choose an emergency rescue mission with a chance of survival.

At the very least, the latter can live a few more days.

On the other hand, Lena has already started trying to use drones to attract the attention of the program crew.

Because the film crew is monitoring the screen throughout the process.

50 kilometers away.

The director of production, Simon, saw about four or five program guests and shouted under the camera at the same time.

That's right.

Besides Lina, other people found that the two earthquakes were unusual. They shook twice in one day, and they were afraid of anyone who fell on them!

So, he hurriedly called the leadership team of the program group.

"According to Chen Xu's description, I'm afraid we need to invite geological experts to come here. If the risk assessment confirms, I'm afraid we really have to make a change plan!"

Security expert Terry glanced at the monitoring equipment, combined with Chen Xu's analysis, and explained.

"Contact the Argentine National Geological Bureau immediately, Johnny and Emerson, we have to make a change plan overnight!"

Weiss responded quickly, and immediately asked the other two directors.

This time, the three program teams under the Discovery Channel co-produced, so major issues need to be discussed together.

The two directors nodded in unison, and stepped out of the filming vehicle one after another, ready to discuss.

First of all, it is impossible to stop the program, because there are so many traffic viewers around the world, stopping the program rashly is a very big loss in itself.

What's more, this "Original Survival Game" has signed two giants: Mercedes-Benz and Austrian Red Bull as joint title sponsors, and the remaining Panda TV, YouTube, British BBC TV and many other third-party media.

Once the program is stopped, it is a failure of the program and a direct breach of contract, which requires paying a very high breach of contract fee.

However, they couldn't ignore the personal safety of the program guests.

Therefore, "changing the program plan" as Weiss said has become the only solution, and the sooner the better!

That night, no one slept much.

Because I dare not sleep.

Everyone is afraid, if they really fall asleep, and the third earthquake occurs at this time, they will not be able to react, and they will inevitably be terrified all night.

Chen Xu originally thought that he would have enough food and drink tonight, and with the bamboo bed Lina built, he would be able to sleep comfortably, but it turned out to be another night of torture.

Raw Survival No.30 Eight Days.

He gets up early.

In the live broadcast room, not long after the broadcast started, 10,000+ people had already gathered. Most of them were attracted by the "earthquake theory" last night, and they were eager to see how the program group handled it.

Seeing that the popularity has risen almost.

Chen Xu began to speak to the camera: "Hi everyone, I am Chen Xu, today is the No. 30 eighth day I came to Argentina to survive, just yesterday, there were two felt earthquakes in the mountains, I guess it was Background earthquakes before a major earthquake."

"The program team will definitely make a contingency plan, because this is not a trivial matter, but as far as it is concerned, we have not received any official news or tips, but we cannot just sit still."

"As far as I know, once the background earthquake is brewing, the main shock will come. For example, the magnitude 1975 earthquake in Haicheng City, Dongliao Province in 7.3 is the only successful case in the world in predicting a major earthquake."

"The specific process of the earthquake at that time was that since January 1, there have been small seismic activity waves, and the frequency and intensity have been increasing. Since January 28, there have been two felt earthquakes in the morning."

"Seven days later, that is, at 2:4 on the evening of February 18, the main shock occurred, with a magnitude as high as 36. The aftershocks lasted for more than five hours. The difference between the largest aftershock and the main shock was only 7.3 magnitude, which was very terrifying. !"

"This is a very typical foreshock-mainshock-aftershock type earthquake. Applying it according to this case, the background earthquake in Argentina this time leaves us with a conservative estimate of five to seven days!"

"As I said before, there was a magnitude 6.8 earthquake in the mountains of Argentina, and the energy released by an earthquake with a magnitude of 7 on the Richter scale is almost equivalent to the power of an explosion of 3400 million tons of TNT explosives."

"So, before the program group announces, we have to make preparations first. During the rest last night, Lina and I discussed it roughly. In the end, we decided to move and leave the mountain area!"

The audience in the live broadcast room were directly overwhelmed by his case analysis:
