1174. Chapter 1174: 1174 Alone in the woods at night
The function of white latex is to isolate the two unstable chemicals, red phosphorus and potassium chlorate, so the operation process must be careful. If an accident occurs at the moment of mixing, the price may be blindness or disability, even if it is only for making matches.
Their weight is enough to hurt you.
Haitang mixed a ball of potassium chlorate and milky white glue together, which was still safe, and mixed it into a paste. Then he inserted one end of the wooden stick into it and rolled it. This was the prototype of the match head.
After all this was done, the thing that Haitang didn't want to face the most was that it needed to be baked. Baking required fire. She had to endure and dig into the wood for half an hour before taking out the fire.
The cost of forgetting is serious. Even if you talk about maintenance, your hands will be blistered again.
After the match heads were prepared, Haitang slowly baked them until they were dry and hard. This step was completed, which took about two hours.
As for the ignition agent, it is a mixture of white latex and red phosphorus that sticks to the matchstick. Insert the baked end into the mixture of red phosphorus and latex. This is the ignition agent.
Bake again, bake slowly, once dry, just rub it anywhere and it will burn. They are really easy to use, and no special matchsticks are needed.
Haitang sealed and stored these prepared matches one by one.
Ah, it's already dawn before I know it. It seems that it will come in handy if I can't go out tomorrow night.
The morning was still full of dew, and Haitang was a little sleepy. She didn't sleep well, and the beauty effect was not obvious. Haitang applied some seaweed mask to her face, then gently closed her eyes and started to enjoy this beautiful time in the morning.
During the day, she picked wild fruits on the trees, which ones were edible and which ones were not. She knew most of them, and she also learned a lot from the mute girl. In addition to wild fruits, there are also wild vegetables and wild fungi that can be eaten. When she encounters a stream
, if you are lucky, you can fry a few fish to supplement the protein. Sometimes there are also loaches, prawns, small crabs and so on under the rocks.
These have become Begonia's food source.
Not knowing what was ahead, she had to take care of herself while sleeping in the open air. Haitang walked like this for half a month. When she looked back at the road behind her, she saw that no one was around anymore...
No one came after me.
When she first left, she really hoped that someone would come after her and plead with her not to ask, so maybe, maybe she would stay, if the other person was sincere enough.
But it seems that this journey is already destined, and he must leave for himself.
This is also where Haitang is disappointed with Datong.
Might as well go find your new beloved concubine. Haitang thought to herself.
The farther you go, the more desolate you become. You can no longer detect any human habitation, and there are no human footprints. Occasionally, there are large footprints on the freshly rained soil, which look like large animals.
After walking for another two days, I saw something like a city in the distance in front of me.
Now Begonia was thirsty and sleepy. She caught a big fish by the stream, grilled it and ate it, then she lay on the stone and fell asleep with the warm sun on her pillow...
It felt like I was back to the days when I went hiking with my neighbor’s brother, but when I woke up, I didn’t have my neighbor’s brother next to me, but myself and my backpack...
It's time to move on.
Haitang continued walking towards the city she saw. Probably no one had ever been to such a far place. All the plants here were undisturbed and grew freely.
