Chapter 802 Rapid heat up (2 in 1)
The desert at night is no better than the desert during the day, it may not be as sunny as the day, and it is not as boundless as the day, but it is the peak period of many dangerous biological activities.
Wolf, Scorpion, Viper.
The worse the living environment is, the more powerful and lethal the biological survival ability is. In the face of humans who have no self-protection ability, the aggressiveness displayed is undoubtedly fatal.
However, compared to the harsh environment, the most terrifying thing is still the loneliness inside. The bigger the world is, the smaller the human beings are.
The unobstructed sky reveals its full picture, and the strong sense of nothingness releases the inner loneliness hundreds of times.
Everyone hides their own fears in the depths of their hearts, and they are stirred against the backdrop of the dark night and the boundless galaxy, and they appear almost one by one.
Anyone who is not strong enough in heart will be discouraged when facing this world alone.
It is a pity that the person who was discouraged will never be the current Bi Fang, taking adventures again and again, as long as there is a little weakness and fear in his heart, his grave will already be covered with grass.
The stars are so bright that it does not affect the traveler’s journey at all. Bi Fang even saw the shadows of himself and the camel on the sand dunes. The silver-white fine sand under his feet is like bright dry snow. Walking on it is like stepping on a thick layer of snow. Blanket.
Camels have thick fur and are naturally not afraid of low temperatures, but Bi Fang felt a touch of cold, and also felt the reality of existence in this cold.
The night in the desert is soft, the red flames have turned into silver-white fine sand, and the sparkling Milky Way is about to be blown down by the wind.
No wolves or poisonous scorpions can scare Bi Fang. Compared with the arrogant and fiery day in the desert, the starry night in the desert is really gentle and moving.
The valley is full of wind, the sky is full of stars, the quiet dark blue, with yearning in loneliness.
Most of the viewers in the live broadcast room came from Nemo Point, where the starry sky is as bright, but the nature in the northern hemisphere is different from the starry sky in the southern hemisphere, and the desert is different from the ocean after all.
It has spanned half the world, from the ocean to the desert, and now it has another charm.
[I haven’t seen such a pure starry sky for a long time. The last time I saw it was when I was a child, with my grandfather…]
[This sky is a luxury for everyone who lives in the city.]
[The Qaidam desert is also good, at first glance, Fangshen’s live broadcast has been watched less (dog head)] [Indeed, increase efforts!!! Give Lao Fang some attention!]
[The old friend is not there, and the stars in the sky leave something different.] [Okay, it’s so **** beautiful]
“For thousands of years, we have all been fascinated by the majestic sun, the clear moonlight and the bright stars.”
“In addition to signaling changes in time and location, these mysterious celestial bodies also nourish our boundless imagination.”
“From thousands of years ago, the Mayans used the naked eye to observe the starry sky to predict the future, and now we have invented the ‘Sky Eye’, which can take human vision to incredible distances.”
“We’re always trying to learn more about the universe, about the planet we live on, and where we’re headed.”
I don’t know when, Bi Fang had an extra straight wooden stick in his hand as a crutch, and he was pulling the camel while telling everyone the secrets of the starry sky.
It’s just that the audience’s attention seems to be a little different. Where did this wood come from? [Fuck, it’s an artifact stick!]
[By the way, where did this thing come from?] [It’s Fangshen’s two-dimensional ass!] [One thing to say, no tree sticks appeared last season, Ye Qingjie]
“Is this?” Bi Fang raised the long stick in his hand, holding the handshake was unexpectedly good, he pointed to the road he had walked before, and there were clearly footprints on the gravel, “I was just under the sand over there. I picked it up, it was hardwood, the length and feel were good, and it felt very comfortable, so I took it away.”
“Maybe it was left by a traveler or something.” [Don’t pick up things randomly] [Ape shit, this is ape shit]
In the early morning of the second day, the silver sand finally turned into the Gobi, and the ground underfoot turned back to solid ground, and some shrubs of various colors could be seen scattered in the sight.
Bi Fang found a boulder as a shelter. After checking that there were no poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, he cleaned up the nearby gravel, took out a huge wooden peg from his backpack, and turned over the pile of gravel to find a suitable size. The threshing stone was about to drive the peg into the ground, but the peg didn’t go in, and the stone was smashed in half with the first blow.
The gray-white rock was neatly split in half, slipped from his hand, and fell to the ground with a sound. [Stone: I cracked] [Playing, Fang Shen found out the fact that he was a superhuman]
[The strong man in the wilderness is so terrifying]
“Due to the large temperature difference between day and night, the rocks on the surface of the Sahara will continue to expand and contract and fall apart, and the exfoliated gravel will be weathered into large and small gravels and sand, and the fine sand will be blown to the lower places by the wind and piled into dunes. , the gravel remains nearby to become the Gobi Desert.”
“Sometimes a stone that looks complete on the surface may have many dark lines inside, and it will shatter under a little force. We just need to find another piece.”
After turning over the gravel, Bi Fang continued to smash it, but this time there was no problem.
The wooden stakes nearly half a meter long were inserted into the soil little by little, and Bi Fang poured some water on the ground in the middle.
“Before building houses in rural areas, some people may have seen contractors perform various unique skills to help you ‘save money’, such as water ramming.”
“Because water is all-pervasive, after irrigation, the sand, gravel and soil will eat water, and they will be tightly bound together. They will use this method to lay the foundation.”
“This is of course wrong and non-standard, because after the soil moisture is lost, the soil density requirements for backfilling will not be met, and the problem of subsidence will still occur after a long time, but we use it for a short time without any problems.”
Mixed with water, Bi Fang shook the wooden pole, which was very firm and motionless, and tied a brightly colored cloth head on it.
“It’s a tricky thing to tame a camel, because once the camel becomes manic, a dozen people can’t pull it, so we have to train an operant conditioning that makes the camel quiet.”
[What is operant conditioning?] [Simple understanding is conditioning (covering face)]
[Do a good job of rewarding and stimulating, and then increase the probability of the behavior, probably like this] [It’s all big guys] [Got it, it’s the pua of the camel]
“Many camel keepers will start by laying a brightly colored stake wrapped in red thread deep on the ground to tie the camel.”
“In the beginning, the untamed camels would keep resisting, desperately pulling the rope, trying to pull the small wooden stake out of the ground, of course, this is impossible, it is very difficult to pull the nails half a meter deep to the side. It’s hard to pull out.”
“Last try and fail again and again, slowly the camel will think that the wood with the cloth strip is invincible.”
“At this time, just insert a piece of wood tied with the same strip of cloth on the ground. If you don’t insert it too deeply, the camel will turn around the stick instead of trying to pull it out. This successfully creates a Conditioned reflex.”
“There are often sandstorms in the desert. When the unexpected sandstorms come suddenly, some camel team members will quickly insert a wooden stick on the ground in order to prevent their camels from getting lost, and then put a camel or even several camels together. Tie it to this stick.”
“When the owner of the camel team is wrapped away by a huge sandstorm, the camels with huge bodies will often lie firmly around the sticks and stay there.”
[弼][This is pua!!!]
“In order to speed up, we also need to add some reward links among us to help form an inherent cognition.”
After doing all this, Bi Fang tied the camel to the stake, not the rein on his nose, but another one on his body, and then took off his blindfold.
When the sight regained a little light, the camel immediately began to struggle after being stunned for a few seconds, but the stake was firmly inserted on the ground without any shaking.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the tired camel reduced the intensity of its struggle.
After confirming the stability of the stake, Bi Fang also leaned on the stone, turned off the live broadcast, and took a nap for several hours.
When Bi Fang woke up again, it had changed from early morning to noon the next day, and the air became sultry again, and when he opened his eyes, he could see the ripples of heat waves in the distance.
Turn on the live broadcast, and when the number of viewers gradually stabilized, Bi Fang stepped out of the shadow of the stone, his eyes narrowed, and the sand on his body fell.
The male camel, which was more than two meters tall, squatted on the spot, and the stake was still the same, without any change.
But when Bi Fang approached, the giant beast quickly stood up and began to struggle again.
Bi Fang was not discouraged, it was all to be expected, he rolled up the sleeves on his arms: “Today is only the first day, we still have two days, don’t worry, and today we will also start the training. ”
“All camels have to be trained to lie down; first tie its front legs with ropes, and pull it hard over its head over the spine. The left front leg can’t get enough strength, and with a hard push or a push, the camel can fall to its knees. ”
“Or entangle the calves of the two hind legs with a rope, and pull it down so that it can lie down.”
“No matter which method is adopted, you must hold the camel’s rein in your hand, press the camel’s head down, and at the same time shout a password in your mouth to make it kneel down with the action.”
“After you get used to kneeling, just press its head inwards, lightly move the reins, say commands or actions, and it will automatically fall down.”
“This is not only for the convenience of riding on the camel after kneeling down, but also for a sense of obedience.”
[Understood, it’s still pua] [For training, can you call it pua (dog head)] [Fangshen must be a good hand at training dogs]
[I want to be the dog of Fangshen (love)] [Receiving the taste, it’s too showy]
“When a camel is one year old, it is easy to tame it by tying its legs and wearing a bridle, but if it is an adult, it needs to wear a nose restraint and a bridle, and practice it behind the tamed adult camel. One is leading in front, and the other is driving from behind, so that the camel can learn.”
“But we don’t have tame camels, so it’s bound to take more work.”
Covering the eyes of the huge camel again with a pole, Bi Fang untied the rope, pulled the camel to the shadow of the boulder, and began to train its traction.
As said, Bi Fang tied the camel’s legs with ropes, then held his head and pulled the reins.
The audience in the live broadcast room cheered immediately after watching the huge camel being pulled by Bi Fang and actually kneeling.
But Bi Fang knew that this was just the beginning.
Now it is blindfolded training, and then there is eye-opening training, which is more complicated and difficult step by step.
“The training of animals, especially the training of wild animals, is a process that requires patience, so don’t be impatient or take it lightly. You should pay attention to some of their small movements and beware of their violent outbursts.”
“Be careful when it suddenly stops/backs up or loses its temper, piercing its nostrils and throwing it out.”
“Like a dromedary, it usually shows its displeasure by stomping and running, as well as spitting and kicking. When you see these actions, you should know it’s time to rest.”
Two days in the afternoon, Bi Fang, who had asked the camel to stand up and kneel several times, brought the camel back to the stake, re-tie the reins, and took off the blindfold.
Sufficient supply, water and food are enough for more than three days, but the camel still needs to eat and graze.
There are only two ways to get animals to obey.
One is by deterrence, whipping, intimidation, pain in the flesh, like a tiger in a circus, but you have to be careful that one day it will bark at you.
The other is to let the animal understand what it should do, and after doing it, it is far better than its original survival in the wild. It is a survival choice with more advantages than disadvantages, such as a pet cat who yearns for life outside the window. After a month, she will go home obediently.
As a positive energy anchor, Bi Fang certainly wouldn’t choose the first one, and that wouldn’t be in line with his moral values.
“I didn’t look carefully before, but now I realize that this camel is really big, even among normal male camels.”
Bi Fang put his hands on his hips, looked at the camel that was struggling again, and carefully examined it.
“Its hump is also very bulging, which means that it eats well and is not worried about food and water issues for the time being, but this does not mean that it does not need to eat. After each successful training, it also needs to be given a certain reward to make it willing to be tamed. .”
“It’s more troublesome to eat well.”
Bi Fang rubbed his chin, if he couldn’t provide a better life than before, it would also cause some resistance to him taming the camel.
afternoon.
Bi Fang came to the camel with a bundle of various hay and a lot of fruits, which was the result of his busy afternoon.
If anyone who is familiar with desert plants is here, they must be able to recognize what these hay and plants are.
Camel Hair Quinoa, Camel Thorn, Doom Palm Fruit and Desert Gourd.
The first two are known from the names, they are both the camel’s favorite food, and the latter two are the fruits that Bi Fang finally found.
Fortunately, there is still soil around here, there are still many plants, and sometimes there are still one or two trees growing, otherwise it would be really difficult to get the food of the big guy in front of him.
Even Bi Fang deliberately chose the fresher parts, and he was sweating from exhaustion.
He picked a reddish-brown fruit and stuffed it into his mouth to chew, the juice overflowed, and it gave off a sweet smell.
“Dum palm fruit, people living in the Sahara often use its peel to make molasses, I don’t know why, I don’t think it’s as sweet, but it tastes okay.”
“And this, the wild desert gourd, is a member of the watermelon family that grows abundantly in the Sahara Desert.”
Bi Fang picked up another melon the size of half a head and weighed it in his hand.
“Its roots, leaves and fruits store large amounts of water throughout the year and are a good source of food and water for any desert animal capable of breaking through the peel, and its large yellow flowers are edible.”
[Camel: I have never eaten such a sumptuous meal in my life] [Is it a meal with a broken head (dog head)] [After you are full, you can start eating, right?]
[No, I seem to have heard someone say last time that watermelons in the desert are poisonous. Is this really edible?]
[My dear, you don’t believe in Fang Shen? Heresy!]
[I seem to have heard, don’t eat watermelons in the desert, they are poisonous]
“That’s another story. The poisonous watermelon you mentioned is a medicinal watermelon. If you cut it open, you will find that it is full of cotton wool-like fruits and has no water at all. It is indeed poisonous, but it is also used by the locals. to cure stomach problems.”
“The watermelon I have now is called Kafeel watermelon, which originates from the African desert. It is grown in the local desert areas as food, and even as a water source in dry seasons, and is also used by indigenous people for bathing.”
“The locals call it ‘chama’, which has been cultivated in ancient Egypt at least 4,000 years ago. Now it is not only in Africa, but also in more places. As a kind of plant, in the southern plains of the Ugly Kingdom, Also known as pine melon and grapefruit melon.”
Bi Fang split the melon, and the pulp inside was also white, but not white cotton wool, but like a normal watermelon, it was a small particle, full of water, but it was not sweet at all, and even had a bitter taste.
“The pulp of this thing can not only be used to replenish moisture, but also sunscreen and retain moisture, and some people even say that you can survive in the desert for six weeks with only Chama.”
Bi Fang grabbed a handful of the pulp, squeezed out the water, and smeared it on his face and arms, feeling a cool breeze.
“The medicinal watermelon and the kaffir watermelon are indeed very similar, almost exactly the same, even the color of the flesh is similar, but one is cotton wool and the other is the same as the normal watermelon, so it is easy to tell the difference.”
“And Kafei watermelon is actually more common, but most marketing accounts don’t talk about it, and they are more accustomed to alarmist. If you see a desert watermelon, you should avoid it. Everyone just listens to it, even if it is a poisonous drug. Watermelon itself is also useful, it can kill bacteria and reduce inflammation.”
Camels are resistant to roughage, and can eat short, sparse, thorny, lignified shrubs that other livestock do not eat, and can also eat all kinds of rough straws, branches, and withered grass. It can survive for a long time in environments such as Gobi and desert.
But being able to endure hardship does not mean that you have to endure hardship.
Can be big fish and big meat, unless health does not allow, otherwise no one really likes to eat bran and pharynx.
The big bundle of Bi Fang, to the camel, is the big fish and big meat that humans eat, and there are even dessert fruits, which are of great benefit.
It vomited once before, and after escaping, it did eat something, but its stomach was still empty. After just a few tries, the camel gave up the struggle and started chewing.
For the next two days, Bi Fang continued the training on the reclining and feeding regularly every day. For animals, apart from reproduction, there is nothing bigger than eating.
As for reproduction, the camel, which ended its breeding season only two months ago, said that there are no worldly desires. The relationship between the two quickly heated up in the face of good food.
