Chapter 109 The Difference Between People
"Don't struggle, because the more you struggle, the faster you sink."
Looking at the panicked people, Bifang kindly reminded them.
Du Chuan, frozen in the quicksand, dared not move. He felt a chill as he looked at Bifang, who had a kind face.
He wanted to curse loudly, but was afraid that the rise and fall of his chest would accelerate his sinking. The suppressed blood surged up, making Du Chuan's face turn red.
Du Chuan couldn't understand how Bifang dared to do such a thing in the live broadcast room?
Aren’t you afraid of death?
Many discerning viewers also began to worry. Even if the wet quicksand was not fatal, if the news got out, it would definitely deal a blow to Bifang's reputation.
These fans know what happened, but the masses don’t care about the truth. They only want to believe what they want to see.
Bifang also knew this, but he didn't care.
Compared to losing some popularity, allowing this kind of popularity-riding situation to happen would be a greater loss!
Must be strangled in a cage!
The sunburn and water poisoning they suffered before were all their own fault. Now is Bifang’s real counterattack!
Those who want to take advantage of the popularity in the future will definitely be more restrained because of this incident, because they don’t dare to gamble whether Bifang will lend a hand to rescue them if they fall into danger.
However, Bifang did not intend to kill anyone. The danger of wet quicksand was not actually that great. It was more of a psychological deterrent.
Dutch scientists have conducted many experiments and found that if you fall into wet quicksand, you will indeed sink partially, but not completely.
Deaths are mostly caused by other reasons, such as not being rescued in time at the seaside, high tide...
What is really dangerous is actually dry quicksand.
Falling into a silo full of grain would be a truly deadly danger.
Even now, Bifang is not sure he can escape alone.
That's why Bifang dared to bring these people here, he was sure that no one would be killed.
As a public figure, Bifang is aware that his every word and action will be magnified.
His real consideration is that while severely punishing the other party, he must not leave a bad influence.
A piece of sand of a completely different color will not appear in the desert out of nowhere. The only possible reason for this is wet quicksand.
Because the sand is soaked in liquid, the bubbles in the internal structure are displaced by the water, and the light passes through the air and water and hits the surface of the sand, and its path changes, resulting in total internal reflection.
The light is "trapped" inside by the water and cannot come out, so the color is naturally darker.
Similarly, there must be an underground river beneath this quicksand, otherwise so much water vapor would not be able to seep out.
It's a pity that it's useless. I can't dig a well in quicksand.
Bifang sighed, but he only did his best on the surface. In order to avoid being criticized, he had to personally demonstrate how to escape and survive after being stuck in the quicksand.
"The reason why everyone thinks quicksand is scary is because it has been demonized in movies and TV shows. In fact, if they don't jump out of the car, they are safe. They just need to stay in the car and wait for rescue."
Bifang jumped into the quicksand, gasping for breath. He shook twice to make himself sink faster.
"With the doors of a car closed, the density is lower than that of a human body. As long as they stay in the car with the windows open, they are not in any danger."
The netizens saw the jeep that Bifang was pointing at and discovered that it was only half sunk, with the hood still exposed. It was stuck in the quicksand and motionless, with no signs of sinking at all.
So all those people jumping in a hurry just now were in vain?
Du Chuan and the others subconsciously clenched their fists and made a fool of themselves.
Although they couldn't see the comments, they could fully imagine how the audience would mock them. Facing these, it was like stripping them of their clothes and torture them to death.
It's even more uncomfortable than being tanned by the sun.
What?
Already an idiot?
That's okay.
[High-level taunt, this is definitely a high-level taunt! ]
[In the final analysis, you are still incompetent. You dare to come to the desert to take advantage of the popularity. Isn't that just looking for death? 】
[The contrast is obvious. Originally, there was no big hit in this live broadcast, but after these people came, Fang Shen was searched again! ]
[Why doesn’t anyone care about Fang Shen jumping into the quicksand…]
[Basic, the people above must not have seen the scene where the old side buried itself in the blizzard last time. We old fans have become accustomed to it, and you newcomers must also learn to adapt! ]
[Now I just feel that Lao Fang is showing off, and I don’t feel any danger at all. ]
[ The force of his energy spreads across 30,000 miles! His light chills the 19 continents! ]
【Man with glasses: Thank you, I am impressed. 】
[Those of you over there, watch carefully and learn well! Fang Shen is repaying evil with kindness for you. I am moved. Woohoo.]
While everyone was posting comments, Bifang, who was stuck in the quicksand, felt that his lower body was like a piece of iron. Not only was it extremely heavy, it was also firmly sucked in.
The pressure in quicksand is much greater than in water. When it sinks to the chest area, Bifang's breathing becomes difficult, and every opening and closing of the mouth is very strenuous.
The tremendous pressure squeezed his lungs, trying to squeeze all the air out.
Even so, Bifang waited until the quicksand had submerged half of his chest, leaving only his shoulders exposed, and the audience was terrified before he began to demonstrate his survival skills.
"I told you, if you get stuck in quicksand, don't panic and struggle. That will only put you in a more dangerous situation."
Bifang took a deep breath, and with just a slight shake, he seemed to go a little deeper.
This depth is already quite dangerous. The body is almost completely submerged. Any slight movement will cause changes in the surrounding environment, making it very difficult to exert force.
"Heartbeats, breathing, these tiny vibrations are actually changing the structure of the quicksand around us, making us sink deeper, just like causing an avalanche. Just because the leading ice ridge falls, it triggers a natural disaster."
"That's why I want them to stay in their cars and not come out, because the car is dead, it won't move."
Du Chuan and his companions felt stabbed in the heart again, and every stab was fatal.
Shrimp and pig heart?
So scary.
I don’t want to live stream anymore.
As Pan Wei cried, Bifang handled it with ease.
“The first step to surviving quicksand is to throw away everything you own.”
Bifang took off his backpack and threw it on the sand. This step needs no explanation, and everyone basically understands it.
"If possible, take off your shoes. Shoes will create a lot of resistance when you try to pull your feet out, especially boots with flat and hard soles, but I'm in too deep. In this case, don't force it."
"The next step is to increase the surface contact area. Like me, slowly move your body. Remember, this process must be slow. Don't be anxious. There is a big problem and being anxious is useless."
Everyone was really listening, and when they heard the last sentence, they almost laughed out loud.
[666, this is a big problem, the host is really good. ]
【Give up struggling.】
[The person on the other side is studying very seriously. It seems that he is listening carefully. ]
[How can I not be serious? If I don’t listen, I will die]
【Little Sunflower Fang’s Daddy Class is now open! 】
[Plant a big tree and give it to the anchor's spaceship*1. -Come on! Oli Gei! ]
"Have you ever learned the backstroke? The process is somewhat similar to that, except that the speed must be slowed down many times to avoid drastic changes in the environment."
"The reaction of quicksand to external stimulation is unpredictable, which means you have to slow down all your movements so that you can detect the movement of quicksand against you in time."
Bifang slowly leaned his body back, and the viewers clearly saw his back begin to sink, but soon, most of his chest was exposed.
"Phew, breathing is much better, not as difficult as before." Bifang took a few breaths and continued to explain: "Lie back. This will increase the force surface, spread the pressure of the upper body on the quicksand, reduce the pressure on the feet, and the feet will slowly float up. During this process, there may be a short period of sinking, but don't be afraid, it is necessary."
Bifang lowered his head, looked at his gradually rising belly, and began to sway gently from side to side.
"As soon as you feel your feet starting to loosen, roll to the side and free your feet. This will get your clothes dirty, but it is the quickest and safest way to escape."
The quicksand had now become as sticky as mud, and a lot of it had gotten onto Bifang's face.
This is also a major feature of quicksand.
Once the surface of the sand is disturbed by movement, it will quickly "liquefy", the sand on the surface will become very soft, the shallow sand will quickly run down, and it will become more and more viscous, and water vapor will penetrate more and more.
When Bifang's legs were completely exposed in the quicksand that had turned into mud, he began to use a swimming posture, crawling and struggling to the edge of the quicksand little by little.
Quickly resting his head on the dry sand, Bifang gritted his teeth and leaned his upper body against the sand.
This process was extremely exhausting, and coupled with the fact that he had just been "swimming" in the quicksand with such great resistance, he was already beginning to feel tired.
The muscles in his arms felt slightly sore, but Bifang did not rest. Once a person rests, his energy will be easily lost, and if he raises his arms again, he will consume more energy.
He gritted his teeth, rolled over, and finally rolled onto the shore!
Du Chuan and others were dumbfounded.
Is the gap between people so big?
Covered in mud and dry sand after rolling around, Bifang gasped for breath, then turned over and sat up, giving the drone a thumbs up.
Done!
