Chapter 456: Making Fire with a Fire Saw
When the yellow dead leaves, green needles and black soil are pushed aside, the red soil is exposed to the air, which is a delight to the eyes.
Red mud!
Bifang picked up a handful of red mud, his face full of joy: "The strychnos nux vomica is mostly found in tropical monsoon forests, taking root in acidic bedrock such as granite, shale, sandstone, or red soil. I saw there were no big rocks here just now, so I guessed there might be red mud underneath!"
Leonardo was a little stunned, and murmured, "It really exists."
The moment the red mud was exposed before his eyes, Leonardo felt not joy but an indescribable sense of relief.
Yes, it's easy.
If you have just arrived in the rainforest, the deep environment will give you a sense of fear. The extremely high repetition of trees alone can make you feel panicky and run around like a headless fly.
But when I saw that Bifang knew everything, he had no worries and no sadness. He just moved forward step by step towards the established plan and made use of all the materials he could.
From descending into the rainforest, to climbing down from the trees, to systematically searching for water sources and red mud to block mosquitoes.
The worry about the unknown environment disappeared.
Bifang is like an experienced and sophisticated native. The rainforest is not a dangerous place that ordinary people are afraid of, but his home.
If a friend invites you to his home, would you feel scared?
When you see the arrow poison tree, you know there is red mud. What’s the difference between this and asking for a glass of water at a friend’s house and the host taking out a disposable cup from the cabinet?
It's clear what's there, just like being home.
【Awesome! 】
【Awesome plus! 】
[This, this is too much to understand]
【I bow down to you! 】
When the audience in the live broadcast room saw the red soil in their sight, they were overwhelmed.
"Real bullfrog!" In the first venue, everyone present was a little excited, and that familiar feeling came back.
Watching people survive is undoubtedly tense and exciting, but watching Bifang survive is a time to broaden your horizons.
"Hurry up, come and help me. I'll find something to hold it. Be careful not to dig up its roots." Bifang warned carefully, "The poisonous part of the strychnos nux vomica tree is its sap, so don't scratch its skin. In addition, it is a Class III protected plant. No matter what the reason is, try not to damage its roots."
"It would have been better if you hadn't told me it was poisonous. Now I'm a little scared." Leonardo squatted down with a wry smile, and also stretched out his hand to dig out the red mud.
"Level 3 protected plants? Is there such a thing?" someone in the first venue raised the question.
I've heard of first- and second-level protected animals, but it seems I've never heard of third-level protected animals?
This term is a bit unfamiliar. It suddenly came out of Bifang's mouth, which made people feel strange, but no one questioned it.
If Bifang says there is something, then it basically is true. If you don't understand or are not clear about it, it is probably your own fault. Isn't it embarrassing to use your amateurism to question other people's expertise?
"Yes, yes!" Someone took out his cell phone to check.
But what happened even faster was that someone sent a barrage of comments asking Bifang.
At this time, Bifang came to a tree with large fan-shaped leaves and was removing its leaves to go back to collect soil. Seeing the barrage, he nodded and said, "Yes, plants have one, two, and three protection levels, but animals are indeed only one or two. Below that is three-level protection, not three-level protection. Common frogs and sparrows are all three-level protection."
"Compared to level one and two, level three has much weaker protection. It's okay as long as there are less than a certain number, so few ordinary people care about it. It's not like they specialize in hunting these. Besides, people don't care much about plants, so I have the impression that you have never heard of it."
【I see】
[What about the level 3 plants? Didn't Master Fang just say they can be used for defense? Can we still use them now?]
[Yes, Lao Fang knows it is the third grade of the National Standard. He said it can be done before, so it must be done. ]
Bifang chuckled and said, "Ordinary people may not believe this, but I can. As long as we apply for permission, all Class III plants can be used. Unfortunately, I am one of them."
Apart from anything else, Lin Chang's father had obtained relevant certificates for him a long time ago.
After a period of development, Bifang's identity became more unusual, and naturally there were fewer taboos.
[I was impressed. Is this the boss? 】
[After the Hainan warlord, is there another wilderness warlord? 】
[I called the police, but his cell phone rang]
【It’s so classic.】
Leonardo has already dug out a lot of red mud with branches.
In the rainforest, matter circulates very quickly, so the red soil is not on the surface, but is covered under a layer of black soil.
Anyone who has dug soil knows that if the soil is buried a little deeper, it becomes hard and difficult to dig, and it becomes clumpy, making it difficult to dig with hands. Therefore, Leonardo poked with a branch for a long time before he poked out a considerable amount of red mud.
Bifang rolled up the large fan leaves to form a funnel, then found a long and thick vine and started to wrap around it from the gap, wrapping it around in circles.
After finishing the circle, find two thin and short morning glory vines, connect and fix them to the head and tail of the vine body that has been wrapped into a circle, and the entire funnel-like container is ready.
"It can also serve as a lid and is also connected together." Bifang used thin vines to wrap around the petiole of the large fan leaf and connected the lower end to the thick vine. With a pull, the upper half of the fan leaf covered the funnel.
After making two in a row, Bifang carried it to the red mud and put all the red mud dug by Leonardo into it.
"Aren't we applying it now?" Leonardo asked curiously?
"We can't paint it without applying it. The red mud that has just been dug cannot be used. It needs to be processed again." Bifang explained, "Because there are a lot of bacteria, microorganisms, and even small insects in the red mud soil, you see."
Bifang was tumbling in the red mud, where ants , aphids and woodlice were constantly fleeing.
"If you apply this kind of soil directly, it's OK if you don't have small wounds on your body. If you do have wounds, it will be terrible. But in the jungle, there are sharp branches everywhere, and you may not even notice many small cuts."
"The local people in Africa don't do that. They dry it in the sun and then add animal fat to increase the viscosity so that it won't fall off due to cracking when applied on the body."
Leonardo looked up at the rain forest without any sunlight and scratched his head: "What should we do? We don't have animal fats and no sunlight."
"It's okay. If there's no oil, we can just add more water. If there's no sunlight, we can just bake the soil to sterilize it. It's the same thing."
Bifang put the big funnel on his back and took a breath, saying, "Now we are going to make a fire. Today, I will teach you the third way to make a fire with your bare hands, in addition to drilling wood to make fire and pumping fire."
"Fire saw to make fire!"
