Chapter 381 Digging or not?

The audience did not doubt the knowledge of water intake described by Master Xu.

I'm just a little confused about the description of the taste of lizard meat.

This creature looks so ugly, how can its meat really be so delicious?

However, they thought that Master Xu had been hungry for most of the day after all, and since he came to the Sahara, he hadn't eaten a decent meal, so they understood a lot.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the audience, this is just a piece of grilled lizard meat, but in the eyes of Master Xu, this is KFC's luxurious supreme deep-sea sturgeon burger!

Chen Xu ate about a quarter of the entire desert monitor lizard's meat.

Not only did he fully supplement protein, fat, and nutrients, but most importantly, his body monitor showed that his moderate dehydration had turned into mild dehydration.

This shows that this full meal also added a lot of water to him.

Then he began to lie down and rest for two hours, leaning against the shade of the cliff.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that he started to continue to set off.

It had been two hours since I returned to the cliff, but the viscera and bones were still there, not even a rotting fly, which fully reflected the desolation of the Sahara.

If it was in the forest or rainforest, it would have been eaten up by other scavengers long ago!

Chen Xu walked near the intestines he had made in the sun. The two small intestines and the large intestine had been dried by the sun.

He rubbed it on the barren soil again, picked it up, and tugged it twice.

Very strong, no problem for making rope!

After putting the intestines into the backpack, Chen Xu checked the direction with his watch and started to continue heading southwest.

In the afternoon, the sun no longer shines directly on the desert, and the temperature has dropped a lot.

But after he walked for more than half an hour, he still shed a lot of sweat.

A strong sense of hunger and thirst came from inside his body again, and now he needs a mouthful of real water!

Chen Xu knew that if he couldn't find the water source again today,

Then he will definitely die in this desert tomorrow.

Scenes of the past continued to emerge from his mind.

He shook his head, threw away all these distracting thoughts, and then observed the nearby terrain with peace of mind.

As long as you pay attention to changes in terrain and vegetation, it is still possible to find water sources.

Walked another mile.

Some green shrubs and emerald green grass finally appeared in front of them.

Looking at these cute plants, Chen Xu was a little excited, Look, everyone, there are a lot of green plants around here. They can't grow out of thin air. There must be a stable water source nearby. Let's look for it!

As he said that, he began to search around.

However, after searching for a long time, not to mention seeing the river, there is not even a small puddle!

Some viewers began to wonder if Master Xu had found the wrong position.

But Chen Xu believed that there must be a water source nearby.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for those shrubs to grow so green!

Is it groundwater?

He knew that parts of the Sahara had abundant groundwater, and even underground rivers.

However, any underground water source is not hidden more than ten meters deep, or even tens of meters below.

With his current equipment alone, it is impossible to dig out.

And just when he was about to give up, a bunker on the left front attracted him!

He trotted over immediately, observed for a long time, and said something that should be regarded as shocking:

I found it. The water source needed for the growth of nearby desert plants should all come from here. In other words, this should be a well!

When the audience heard it, their jaws almost dropped:

Master Xu, are you not blind? This is obviously a bunker, how could it be a well!

Master Xu didn't create a mirage, did he?

It's over, it's over, Lord Xu has already gone crazy!

Will Lord Xu drink the sand as water later?

Chen Xu looked at the barrage and found that everyone didn't believe it, so he explained:

Everyone can observe carefully. First of all, there are so many green plants nearby, which means that there is definitely a stable water source. Second, I don't know if you have noticed that the sand in this bunker is different in color from the desert soil next to it.

There is only one reason for this phenomenon, that is, the well was submerged by the sand blown from the desert, but the different colors also give us a hint that the sand is still very new, and it must have been blown in the past two days. here.

In other words, this well should not be buried too deep by the sand, so it is convenient for us to dig. At least it is much easier than finding groundwater or digging water from the roots of shrubs!

So, Chen Xu immediately squatted down and demonstrated to everyone in person.

He first groped along the sides of the bunker, and then began to dig the sand with both hands.

After a while, a khaki dead tree appeared under the lens of the drone.

He pointed to the dead wood and said, Did you see it? This is the fixed plate of the well head. I guessed it right. This is indeed an ancient well!

The modern technology of digging wells all uses stone as the wellhead, and the technology of using wood should have been at least in the ancient camel period. At that time, Arab camel traders were still the main ones. There are at least several It’s been a century, so it’s not surprising that it’s lost!”

Why it is said to be lost is because, in the entire Sahara Desert, water sources are very scarce. They are generally regarded as treasures, hidden by various tribes and drawn on maps. Only the core members of the tribe can know.

And when this tribe suffers from a disaster or is exterminated by other tribes, and the treasure map recording the wells disappears, those wells will never be found again, because no one maintains them for a long time, and it will naturally become like this. Buried in the sand!

Some viewers couldn't help but wonder, since it was an ancient well hundreds of years ago, can water still be dug now?

The answer given by Chen Xu is affirmative, definitely!

Because the nearby green vegetation is denser than other places, it is the best proof!

The only difference is how deep to dig!

Ordinary wooden wells are not dug particularly deep, because the deeper the moisture, the heavier the decay gas, and the easier it is for the wood to rot, so the depth of sand burial will not be particularly large.

The predicted depth I gave it is between 1 meter and 1.5 meters. Of course, this is not a small depth for me. If I can really dig out the water, then it will save my life!

But on the contrary, if I don't dig the water source after I put in a lot of physical strength, sweat, and time, then the result will also be fatal to me!

What Chen Xu said in these few paragraphs was not an exaggeration.

He has been thirsty for nearly a day and a night, if there is no water to replenish, he will definitely die!

However, if he had devoted all his energy to digging down and found nothing, then the sweat that flowed out and the large amount of energy consumed would also make his body weak, and he would not even be able to survive tonight!

Chen Xu hesitated.

dig? Still not digging?
