Chapter 804 77 days

June 3rd.

On the deserted Gobi Desert, a huge camel walked on the stones on the ground. On the back of the camel sat a young man in a khaki adventure suit, pulling the reins lightly to control the camel’s direction.

There is nothing strange about this scene. It is no different from most camel breeders. It’s just that the young man’s appearance is incompatible with the locals. It is a bit strange that he should be a tourist, but he can walk freely on a camel alone.

But if you look closely, you can find that it is even more strange than this. The equipment on the camel is very “primitive”. It is not the original function and shape, but the material, and most of them are even woven from tree bark.

Even the poorest camel breeders have at least a few wood carvings at home, covered with leather and with exquisite patterns of camel saddles.

“Usually it’s easier for a camel to go down: stop on the reins, slip down the neck, or come down the back.”

“The tamed camel can also climb up from the neck. The camel has a stiff waist and is not as comfortable to ride as a horse, but it is warmer. When riding on a camel in winter, there are humps at the front and rear to block the wind, and the whole body is fluffy and not cold at all. It’s not worse than a horse at all, and it doesn’t need to be well fed.”

“But it’s hotter during the day, so it’s better to have a bamboo mat or something.”

As Bi Fang said that, he stepped down from the camel’s neck and slipped all the way down. The whole process was extremely silky smooth.

After two more days of training, Bi Fang has been able to skillfully ride this recently domesticated camel, [666, no need to feed (dog head)]

[Camel: It’s only been eaten for a few days, so this is the beginning?]

[I called her Xiao Tiantian two days ago, but today I will call her Mrs. Niu, hehe, man] [Too fast, really too fast] “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Bi Fang led the camel and came directly to a melon field.

“Strictly speaking, our side is still soil, so the vegetation is still rich, and there are not many shrubs. We can even find two trees to see if there is any fruit on them. When we really enter the desert area, I will I don’t know what I can eat.”

“So before that, we have to replenish enough supplies as much as possible. Speaking of which, this melon field is almost finished by us.”

The camel training for nearly a week has officially ended, and the next step is to officially set off across the Sahara.

Bi Fang searched on the ground and found that there were not many desert gourds left.

This plant doesn’t grow much, and when Bi Fang and the camel came, it was consumed rapidly, and a few came every day, but Bi Fang only picked the fruit, not the rhizome, until next year, it will be a lot of fat again The good melon is sweet.

Pick the last few melons and put them on the camel’s back.

After doing this, Bi Fang raised his head and looked at the sun, gently squeezed his belly, turned his direction, and officially moved towards the north.

“Humans often regard an unsuitable external environment as adversity, a metaphor for fighting against it.”

“I used to think this way too, but after going through so many things, my thinking began to change. That’s not a good way to survive in a dangerous situation – to fight against the sky, the only one to lose is yourself.”

“The new environment does contain potential dangers and you have to take precautions in advance, but nature does not take sides.”

“Learn to adapt to each climate, learn to use what the environment has to offer you, climate is not only determined by latitude, location and altitude are very important factors.”

“Most desert areas were once fertile soils where some creatures survived and adapted to their new environment.”

“Like them, survivors must learn to use any shade that shields them from the scorching sun, minimize fluid loss, and limit them to daily activities. Continually draw on the lessons of survival from travelers traversing the desert.”

[Survival of the fittest!][If you can’t change nature, then learn to change yourself][Mutation, start!]

Bi Fang closed his eyes, as if recalling some past. After a while, he continued to speak.

“In some deserts, such as the Sahara Desert, the Middle East Desert, the Peruvian and Northern Chilean Deserts, and the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, the temperature difference between day and night is very large. The condensation of water vapor in the air at night can obtain precious water.”

“In the Namibian desert in South Africa, the wet fog brought by the sea breeze also provides the moisture necessary for life.”

“In areas such as Western Australia, North Mexico and the Mojave Desert in the southwestern part of the country, the temperature difference between day and night is relatively small, and there is very little condensation of water vapor, so animals and plants are scarce and survival is more difficult.”

“Sometimes, such as in the Kalahari Desert, there are sparse grasses and thorn bushes. Even in the most barren environments, some life can survive, but you have to know how to find them.”

“In the desert, you will encounter sandstorms, and the visibility is almost zero. You need to take strict protection to prevent the sand from entering the mouth, eyes, ears, and nose. In addition, there are cyclone sand columns, a desert cyclone similar to a tornado, which is very common.”

“Even if the rains come, which can take many years in some areas, don’t be too happy, they can roll down and quickly form huge floods that will dry up very quickly. absorbed by the surface.”

“It may sound dangerous, but during this period, some plants also bloom briefly, allowing fast-reproducing animals to complete their life cycles, such as the hoe-footed toad in Arizona.”

[Another day shocked by knowledge] [Lao Fang knows too much!! (shaking the light stick frantically)]

[The first jungler is online, animals, tremble!!]

Facing the cheers from the audience, Bi Fang smiled, shook the reins lightly, and walked the camel faster.

Feeling the wind flowing in the air, Bi Fangwu took out a felt hat from the backpack hanging beside the camel.

[Hi, Lao Fang took out something strange again] [Where did this come from] [Grass, did I enter the Indiana Jones Theater?]

“I said so much, the purpose is just to let you understand the true meaning of survival, don’t blame others, you have to use your brain richly, that is the most precious wealth of our human beings, and then find and adapt to those extreme environments. ”

“There is only one target in front of us now, and that is the Sahara, the worst, most famous and largest desert of death in the world.”

“In the past, the Sahara was also an oasis, and many people lived and thrived. However, with the deterioration of the environment, this area was gradually covered by deserts, and it became one of the areas with the worst natural conditions on earth and the least One of the areas suitable for living creatures.”

“Our goal is to pass through it within a limited time.” Bi Fang backhanded his felt hat to block the dazzling sunlight.

The index finger flicked the brim of the hat, and the shaking cast a shadow obliquely, covering his expression.

“In “Around the World in Eighty Days”, Mr. Fogg can travel around the world in 80 days and return to London, so I believe that we can also travel across the Sahara in seventy-seven days.”
