Chapter 801 tame camel (2)
“In order to tame the camel, the ancient humans thought a lot of ways and spent a lot of energy. In the process of repeated taming, they finally figured out the method of wearing their nose with a nose stick and reins.”
“The nose is the most sensitive organ of animals, and has the most nerves. Especially for camels with a developed sense of smell, the nose is the soft underbelly, so the camel will become gentle and submissive when it is pulled by the nose.”
“The wooden stick worn on the camel’s nose, called the nose in Mongolian, is generally made of hard wood or horns such as red popped wood tips, red willow, yellow elm, and ram’s horn. The nose made of these wood will not be damaged even if it breaks. Camel nose.”
In the desert, Bi Fang held down the camel’s sack and moved the backpack upwards, exposing the camel’s jaw while blocking his sight.
The camel snorted and exposed its lips. At this time, everyone could clearly see the huge canine teeth in its mouth, which was extremely hideous.
【No wonder you can pretend to be a tiger tooth, this is too big】
[This bite is not a few blood holes, a little scared]
[Watching Lao Fang reach out and approach, it feels like watching a crocodile in a circus perform with its mouth open]
When taking off the backpack, the camel resisted a little, but it was firmly controlled by Bi Fang.
“Most herbivores don’t do well when they’re completely on their side, mostly because of their body structure.”
“Bulky and slender, their center of gravity is too high, but they have basically no muscles below the knees, so they don’t have enough strength, and we can easily hold them down.”
Bi Fang wound the rope into a circle, carefully passed it through the camel’s mouth, and tightened it to prevent the camel from biting people.
“Some insignificant wounds in the desert may develop desert sores if they are not treated in time. The wounds will be sore and swollen, and they will deteriorate at any time and cannot walk…”
“We have to be careful and try not to hurt ourselves in any way.”
【sharp】
【This is what a man should do】
【Fangshen is my idol】
When Bi Fang put on the nose ring, the first step was completed very smoothly.
As Bi Fang said, the camel with the nose ring didn’t react much, as if the extra piece of wood in the middle of the nose had no effect at all.
Then comes the reins.
“In Mongolian, brenteg is the rein that leads the camel, one end is tied to the camel’s nose stick, and the other is controlled by the shepherd.”
“It plays an important role in camel equipment, so shepherds are forbidden to throw the reins around, and hang them neatly on the yurt’s Sihana when not in use.”
After tying the reins, Bi Fang took out a rope cloth bag from the bag and opened it up, showing a structure like some kind of cage.
“The thing I have in my hand is called Daumuge, which is actually a bridle for male camels, which can prevent male camels from biting other camels or hiccups. In many places, colorful cloth strips are sewn on it to make Daumuge brighter. .”
“When the camel foamed at the demonstration, it formed a bright color with the five continuous and six-color cloth strips, which made the male camel more powerful, which is a unique aesthetic taste.”
Put on the nose ring, put on the bridle, put on the reins, and you’re all set for pulling the camel.
If you install a camel saddle at the end, you can ride normally.
It’s just that the tools are all appearances. Riding a camel ultimately relies on the training quality and temperament of the camel itself. Bi Fang has only completed a face project.
“The next step should be tethering, but it’s getting dark now, we should find a place to spend the night as soon as possible, or go back the same way, but before that I need to help it stand up.”
A camel is not an elephant. If it falls, it cannot stand up at all, but it will take some effort.
But since it can’t see anything, it doesn’t dare to move at all, and it will go mad when it takes off its hood. For this reason, Bi Fang must help it stand and then pull the camel’s action.
Bi Fang found a new piece of cloth, replaced the backpack with it, and then made a small shovel with a tool, and began to dig sand around the camel.
“We are surrounded by sand. It’s very easy to get the camel to stand up. Just hollow out the sand under it, and it will stand up naturally.”
A puff of sand was raised and accumulated around, and the angle of inclination of the camel changed little by little.
From lying flat, then taking thirty degrees, forty degrees…
By the time Bi Fang pulled the reins and pulled it up from the 60-degree slope, it was already completely dark.
It took a whole day just to catch this camel.
There was a chill in the air.
“The average temperature difference between day and night in the Sahara Desert can reach 42c, which is 40 degrees during the day, and it may only be minus 2 degrees at night. Now I can feel the chill. I suspect that the temperature may be only seven or eight degrees now, and it is still going on. decline.”
It was just dark, and the temperature dropped so fast.
Many viewers felt a little weird.
Really a “sharp” drop.
“Many people think that the reason for the large temperature difference between day and night in the desert is because the sand has a low specific heat capacity.”
“During the day, light and heat are rapidly absorbed by the sand grains on the top layer and then released back into the air, superheating the air and sending the temperature soaring. At night, most of the heat in the sand is quickly dissipated again, cooling the surrounding environment.”
“However, this phenomenon is not really enough to explain why the desert night temperature drops sharply at night, or just one of the reasons, but if you have experienced it yourself, it is really incredible.”
The blindfolded camel obediently walked along the lead.
Bi Fang deliberately lengthened the reins and lengthened the distance to three meters to prevent the camel from suddenly bursting.
“In fact, the main reason for the sharp change in desert temperature is that the desert air is very dry, with little precipitation, and there are few clouds, which cannot absorb the heat radiation of the sun~www.readmtl.com~ Therefore, the temperature in the desert is very high during the day. For example, in Chile The humidity in the Takama Desert is almost zero.”
“Water vapor in the air acts like a giant, invisible blanket, wrapping heat on the ground and preventing it from escaping into the atmosphere.”
“High-humidity air also requires more energy to heat, which means it also takes more time for the heat to dissipate and the environment to cool.”
“That’s the underlying reason why the temperature in the desert varies so much from day to night.”
“And it’s also because the temperature drops too fast. Many times people can’t react, resulting in a state of hypothermia. If no warming measures are taken, it will soon endanger life. This is why the coldness of the desert is obviously not in high latitudes. So exaggerated, but still deadly.”
“If it is a normal crossing, I may choose to find a place to rest as soon as possible at this time, but in order to prevent accidents, and to tame the camels as soon as possible, I’d better travel overnight today.”
Under the starry sky, Bi Fang led the blindfolded camel and walked out of the desert.
