I live in the wilderness of interstellar live broadcast

fire.

The light of life, the source of civilization, the seeds of all technological trees, the foundation of health, safety and warmth.

If you want to survive for a long time in such a desolate and isolated situation, fire is a must.

And since there is a river, Qi Guang's food source for a period of time in the future will most likely be fish, shrimp, crab and snails in the river. If there is no fire to cook the food, there will be a high risk of parasitic diseases.

Most of the materials he collected along the way were in preparation for the fire.

——Twigs can be used as fire rods and drilled wood floor, because he was not sure which kind is suitable for fire, he deliberately found a few more tree species to collect branches, and there are always some combinations that can produce fire.Curved bow-shaped branches and dry vines are used to make bow drills, which can save energy and improve efficiency when drilling wood for fire.

However, the dry vines still need to be treated before they can be used. Now these thin branches cannot withstand a little force from Qi Guang.

Qi Guang kneaded the vines into fibers in water, dried them in the sun, twisted several strands of fibers counterclockwise, and twisted them together clockwise.This method, which is similar to rubbing hemp rope, can increase the friction and load-bearing capacity of the vine, making it firm and durable.

Qi Guang used this method to rub six or seven long ropes, and the vine fibers squeezed out some water due to the force and contraction, so after rubbing, they had to be placed on stones to continue drying.

The large and small stones all over the river beach are like a natural tool yard. Qi Guang picked up a finger-length stone and polished it to make a sharp corner. Vertical chute for hot wood chips to fall.

He then picked out a flat stone the size of a palm, and the stone drill tapped a depression in the center of the stone as a stress point, together with the rope and the bow-shaped branch to form a bow drill set.

After preparing the materials for the fire, Qi Guang picked up a bunch of branches from the edge of the surrounding forest, and spread them on the stones that can be exposed to the sun to dry the water.

It doesn't matter if the firewood has a little water after the fire is lit, but the drier the better when it is first lit.

After finishing these things, Qi Guang used the harvested vines to weave two fish baskets and a large basket that can be tied tightly. He calculated that the fishing traps had been placed for almost three hours, and it was time to fish them out to see if there was any harvest. up.

It is true that now is also the time when many wild vegetables and fruits are ripe. The berries in the forest are lush and lush. There is no doubt that picking wild grasses and wild fruits is an easier way to obtain food than fishing.

It is true to say so, but the premise is that Qi Guang can recognize which plants are edible.

After all, this is not a survival reality show in the wild, and Qi Guang’s character design is not a botanist wild survival master. He has never set up a balcony vegetable garden or planted land before the end of the world. After the end of the world, he is also playing the zombie siege mode, let alone the forest Among the native wild vegetables and fruits here, he has only seen common vegetables processed and placed in supermarkets and on dining tables.

Before the trap was fished out, Qi Guang once again earnestly prayed to an unknown god and Buddha, hoping that he would be able to eat tonight.

Feeling nervous and apprehensive, like drawing a card with the last ticket.

I don't want to be possessed by the Emperor of Europe, I just want a ten-year guarantee.

Probably Qi Guang's luck today is really good, or the fish who have lived carefree for hundreds of years have long forgotten the past of being caught by humans, and the first fishing trap that Qi Guang fished out Just caught three fish.

Each fish has the length of Qi Guang's palm, and has a thin body with fine scales, which is already the limit that a fishing trap of this size can catch.The three fish squeezed together in the basket did not forget to bite the earthworm bait that Qi Guang put in, and flicked his face with water.

three fish!

The corner of Qi Guang's mouth could not help but raise a small arc upwards, showing a little bit of surprise and complacency.

Today's dinner is settled.

And it is high-protein and high-energy meat.

meat!

Qi Guang couldn't help emphasizing this tempting word to himself again, and the braised fish, boiled fish, squirrel mandarin fish, and fish fillets were played in a loop like a conditioned reflex in his brain...

So the empty city plan in his stomach sang more and more lively.

No fish was caught in the second trap, but there were a few small shrimps swimming in it and three or five blue-shelled crabs. Qi Guang counted five shrimps and three small crabs one by one.

After all, not only today's dinner, but also tomorrow's breakfast.

Qi Guang stuffed the prawns and crabs into the fish basket, tied the opening tightly and put them back into the water for tomorrow's enjoyment. The two fishing traps were also put back into the river, hoping that there would be a good harvest tomorrow morning.

Putting the three fish into another fish basket, Qi Guang saw that it was already evening, and felt that he was about to take his harvest to the shelter to prepare for the night.

He packed up today's harvest, like an old farmer with a good harvest, and put them into the basket one by one with joy: three fish, a rough stone knife and a rough stone drill, the bow drill equipment used to drill wood for fire, As well as a small bundle of dry firewood to dry out the water, a bunch of unused dry vines, a few thick vines that have just been cut, and a few pieces of unprocessed stone tool materials.

The basket was stuffed to the brim and heavy enough.At this time, Qi Guang's physical strength was almost squeezed to the limit, so he could only tie vines to the basket and drag it to save energy. Along the way, he picked up some withered grass for paving the ground at night.

The cave chosen by Qi Guang as a long-term shelter is not too far from the river. He dragged his basket and walked for less than 10 minutes before he saw the landmark he made.

Going two steps forward, the cave is still on the hillside, and the entrance of the cave is illuminated by the warm setting sun. After Qi Guang climbs up, he finds that from the entrance of the cave, he can vaguely see the shimmering waves of the river.

Qi Guang wasted three seconds admiring the scenery outside as a reward for his hard work all day, and three seconds later he started today's finale without stopping.

—Drilling wood to make fire.

The firewood that has been dried is piled up in a tower shape on the side for ready use. The bottom of the thick branches has been treated with a stone drill, and the thin branches used as fire rods have also been scraped off the outer bark and polished smooth.

The vine rope is much tougher than a single vine after it is tightened and dried.Qi Guang wound the rope a few times around the upright fire-taking pole, then raised the bow-shaped branch horizontally and perpendicular to the fire-taking pole, and fastened the two ends of the rope to the two ends of the bow-shaped branch—in order to prevent the rope from slipping off, Qi Guang again Grooves were dug at the ends of the bowed branches for the ropes to catch.

This is the "bow" used to turn the firestick.

Next, knead and pull the unused dry vines into fibrous balls and place them under the bottom plate to connect sparks. Take the end of the fire rod to withstand the shallow hole dug on the bottom plate. Qi Guang adjusted his sitting posture, stepped on the bottom plate, and held the bow. Pull back and forth with your hand, and the rope wrapped around the fire-taking rod will generate centrifugal force, driving the fire-taking rod to rotate quickly on the bottom plate.

Although it took more time to prepare in the early stage, the bow drill is more efficient than hand-kneading wood. After about ten seconds of turning the light, you can see gray-black powder splashing out of the contact between the fire rod and the bottom plate.

——The principle of drilling wood to make fire is to use the heat generated by friction to produce charcoal powder with wood, and then the heat gathers to produce sparks.

But it shouldn't be this gray-black powder.

The gray-black powder indicates that the wood is too soft, and the wood that can ignite sparks will splash black charcoal powder, and smoke will come out at the same time.

Qi Guang stopped, threw the branch into the firewood pile, and took out the second bottom board.

……

... also does not work.

Qi Guang pulled the bow for a long time and even tore a rope, but there was not even a wisp of smoke.

He breathed a sigh of relief, put on a new fire rod and a new base plate and continued to work hard.

But to be honest, if he hadn't found a water source and had dinner today, he would never dare to waste his energy like this.

And Qi Guang was well rewarded for his wasted physical strength. He managed to drill out the black charcoal after only No. 16 attempts.

The fire rod and the bottom plate come from the same kind of tree. The roughness and hardness are the average level of the several branches he picked up. The groove can be easily cut with a stone drill.

Qi Guang made a record in the notepad, replaced the eighth new rope on the bow, rested for a few minutes, and then drilled out the Mars in one go.

The sign before the fire was successfully lit was very obvious. Black charcoal powder splashed everywhere, gray smoke changed from a small wisp to a puff in a few seconds, and the smell of burning things immediately filled the entire cave.

Become!

Qi Guang hurriedly stopped and took the torch away, and there was a faint red light in the small shallow hole on the bottom plate.

The sky was getting dark, and a star of fire flickered in the night wind, shaking as if it was going to go out in the next second.

Qi Guang held his breath and crouched down, carefully poured the little sparks onto the dry vines below, quickly gathered his hands together to hold up the vines and blow air - don't blow too hard, but gently, care for the vines like blowing a wound Look at the little spark in the air, it grows brighter and brighter; it can't be interrupted when blowing, and the output is steady and rhythmic, until the little spark jumps out of the small flame, and burns the forehead hair of Qiguang head-on.

Qi Guang held the flame and placed it in the pile of firewood without being too hot at all, and then diligently put in flammable twigs and dead leaves to strengthen the fire. He watched carefully without blinking his eyes. The flame would follow his heart even if it was blown by the wind Shake, for fear that the hard-won fire will go out.

It wasn't until he saw that the thick branches and pieces of wood picked up on the road could burn stably in the fire, that Qi Guang was relieved for a long time.

He didn't collect much firewood, but thick branches and pieces of wood were more resistant to burning than vines and dead grass. If the fire was controlled to keep burning, it would last for about an hour.

Grilled fish is almost enough.

As if sensing that it was time to eat, Qi Guang's stomach rumbled twice.

Don't worry.

Qi Guang rubbed his stomach to let his stomach wait for a while, and gave priority to clearing out a corner of the cave as a storage corner, which was used to place his most important assets at present-bow drill, fire rod, and drill wooden floor.

It is impossible for the fire to burn all night, and it is impossible for him to keep the fire burning all night under this kind of weather and environment, but as long as there is a three-piece fire suit, he can light a fire for himself at any time.

After finishing these things, Qi Guang put the half-dead fish in the fish basket on a stick and set it beside the fire, and licked his lips facing the fish's eyes that were dying.

Steamed fish, sauerkraut fish, grilled fish, sweet and sour carp...

Suck.

The fish needs to be baked for more than ten minutes before it is cooked. Qi Guang used this time to clean up the cave, shaking the dust and dirt on the withered grass to make a "mattress"...

grunt.

Qi Guang heard the sound of himself swallowing his saliva desperately.

The fish was slowly roasted by the heat of the flame, and it smelled a little fishy, ​​but just thinking about it was a precious food, and he couldn't help being fascinated.

He is small, a little lazy.

Qi Guang blinked, attracted by the bright and dark fire, and the fish on the fire were stained with the alluring burnt yellow of the flame.

A few minutes before a meal is the most unbearable time for hunger.Qi Guang stared at the fire until his eyes hurt, so he had to click on the system interface first, trying not to think about the grilled fish that was so close at hand.

He completed the first three novice tasks today: the first live broadcast for 5 minutes, the first time the number of viewers exceeded five, and even the first fan (?).

Qi Guang looked at the number of fans that changed from "0" to "1", and he didn't know how this fan got here.

Probably slippery.

Qi Guang ignored this slippery attention, and used his hungry head to calculate today's income.

Three novice tasks earned 35 points, and the live broadcast lasted for fourteen and a half hours from 07:30 am to 1.45:36.45 pm, totaling [-] points, and a total of [-] points.

It is a good sign to complete more than one-third of the debt repayment target on the first day.

Snapped.

There was a sound of oil crackling in the fire, and Qi Guang covered his head and looked in the direction of the sound. The three fish strung on the branches were forced by the fire to emit a layer of shiny oil, which looked extremely attractive.

It should be... you can eat it...

Qi Guang couldn't help stretching out his hand to the grilled fish. The scorched aroma of the flames mixed with the oily smell of the fish meat swallowed up what little reason he had left in his head.

Definitely edible!

Qi Guang blew on the heat from the grilled fish, and bit into the fleshy and delicious fish maw.

……

……

Pooh.

Qi Guang pursed his lips tightly, his lips trembling. The soft and hard taste and the bitter, astringent and fishy taste of the fish made him want to vomit subconsciously.

His expression was stiff, even a little aggrieved and wanted to cry.

——He remembered, he didn't gut or scrape the scales of these three fish, it's called the original flavor, if it tastes good, it's a ghost.

Qi Guang looked down at the remaining half of the fish in his hand, and then at the two remaining grilled fish by the fire.

Dark cuisine, nowhere to eat.

But this is precious food.

It's the calories that keep him alive.

It is an important source of energy to fill the stomach.

Every day spent in the last days makes it impossible for Qi Guang to waste a single bit of food (even if it is extremely unpalatable) against his conscience.

Qi Guang firmly resisted the urge to spit it out, squeezed his nose and swallowed the fish in his mouth.

For survival.

Of the three fish, Qi Guang had nothing left from the head to the tail, and he gritted his teeth and ate them all.

Even the soft thorns that could be chewed, Qi Guang resisted the stench in his mouth, chewed them up little by little, and ate everything he could eat.

Then he rewrote today's reflection diary stroke by stroke in the notepad.

[When you catch a fish, you should not get carried away and forget to gut and scale the fish. 】

As an honorable citizen of a foodie country, this is really a low-level mistake that should not be made.

Qi Guang doesn't love himself, he loves his fish.
