Bi Fang suddenly reached out and took the seaweed onto the life raft while the seaweed was not paying attention.
"Ha, it's quite heavy."
The moment he threw out the seaweed, Bi Fang estimated that it weighed several kilograms. If he really ate it, he would probably be able to eat it for several days.
What a good harvest.
"However, natural seaweed is tough to bite and contains a lot of salt, so it is difficult to digest. Eating too much at once can easily cause constipation. It can only solve an immediate problem. And if you are short of water, try not to eat it."
Constipation or difficulty urinating or urinating too concentratedly are quite abnormal in a harsh environment and need to be treated with caution.
Bi Fang absolutely does not want to encounter this kind of situation, especially when the production team is there. Even if they are plus-size, there is no guarantee that they will shoot something weird.
By then, his reputation will be ruined.
"I have said it before, any food will deplete the water in your body, unless you eat fruits, which will replenish more water than you consume, but seaweed is obviously not among them, and it is even a bit salty. If you eat too much,
It can easily lead to dehydration.”
Bi Fang was picking at the seaweed on the life raft and did not find any small fish or shrimp, but he was not discouraged. It was already quite good to harvest seaweed. At least the gift from the sea would allow him to persist for a few more days.
As time goes by, there will always be a turning point.
If the base number is large enough, even the smallest probability may happen.
Bi Fang picked off one of the seaweeds and carefully identified it under the moonlight. After looking at it for a long time, he was delighted to confirm that it was really Sargassum!
Without hesitation, Bi Fang simply wiped the stem twice, cleaned it simply, then stuffed the sargassum into his mouth and chewed it, letting the light salty taste spread.
"Well, it tastes pretty good. It has a fishy smell, but the plants themselves are not dead or rotten. It's still very crispy. It's just that my mouth feels drier after eating it, but it's not as salty as I expected."
Bi Fang picked another piece of sargassum and strung it on the fishhook. Although it was not a meat bait, the grass was much better than before. Moreover, if you really hang meat bait, you will inevitably worry about whether it will attract some ferocious meat.
Sexual fish.
If a large carnivorous fish comes to his small boat, it will most likely die.
After hanging the bait, Bifang zipped up the life raft, hoping to drink distilled water again.
"But what we encountered is just a piece of debris. If you encounter a place where Sargassum grows, you will definitely be shocked. It doesn't look like aquatic plants at all, it is simply a sea grassland."
While eating, Bi Fang introduced the real growth environment of Sargassum. When he had nothing to do, he relied on this to pass the time, or to retain the audience.
Sargassum is a very common species of algae, but they differ when growing in the Atlantic Ocean.
Once Sargasso grows here, people are accustomed to calling this sea area the Sargasso Sea. The sea surface is calm all year round, the ocean currents are weak, and the seawater between different water layers does not mix, so the nutrient renewal rate in the shallow water layer is very slow.
Almost immediately it will be taken over by sargassum.
"As early as when the explorer Columbus led the expedition fleet to explore the Atlantic Ocean, the sailors on the ship discovered a green 'prairie'. In fact, as you may have guessed, it was not a prairie, but a Sargasso Sea."
"Columbus was very happy at the time and thought he had arrived in India. He ordered the ship to sail into the 'grassland'. It turned out that the 'grassland' was endless seaweed. The final result was that they were trapped in it for a month before they came out."
【Holy shit, a month? So long?】
[Columbus was really miserable. I have always regarded North America as Asia. This is already his dark history. I didn’t expect that there would be something even darker.]
[One month? Is it so terrible? 】
"Yes, the Sargasso Sea looks beautiful. But many ships are accidentally caught in the seaweed and cannot escape. The seaweed will crawl up their ship's deck like a snake and wrap around the ship. Over time, because there is no food and
Fresh water, many sailors will eventually die of starvation. Therefore, the Sargasso Sea is called the 'Sea Graveyard' and the 'Deviled Sea'."
"And because the sea surface was occupied, many plankton could no longer survive. Afterwards, a large number of fish suffocated, died and rotted. The smell of this 'green field' was very disgusting, and there were ruined ships everywhere."
Bi Fang had never seen it with his own eyes, but his wilderness survival experience told him how terrifying that scene was, it was like hell.
【Holy shit, so scary?】
[If Lao Fang is trapped, why don’t he take a break?]
[So Sargassum is so powerful? It can even eat people!]
[Isn’t this thing the same as red tide? How long does it last? 】
"Almost, in fact, they are all harmful, and people have not yet found an accurate answer as to how Sargassum grows. Some oceanographers believe that Sargassum floats from other sea areas and accumulates over time.
.”
"Some people also believe that these Sargassum algae originally grew on the seabed of this sea area, and later floated from the seafloor to the surface under the influence of seafloor currents."
"Of course, the most surprising thing is the mobility of Sargassum, which is like long legs and drifts from time to time. Many scientists often encounter such a strange thing: they sometimes see a big green Sargassum, but then
After a while, the Sargassum disappeared again."
Bi Fang chewed the sargassum in his mouth, which not only explained the characteristics of sargassum, but also explained the doubts of water friends about the so-called "program arrangement".
Not really.
It is quite normal to encounter sargassum while drifting at sea, especially in the North Atlantic. If you don't encounter it once, you would be embarrassed to say that you have been to the Atlantic Ocean.
[Damn, the achievement of nine meals in three days failed]
[Damn it, I actually let Fang Shen eat]
[It’s getting better, it’s getting better again, this situation can break Fang Shen’s game, it’s so abominable]
[But I think another achievement can be unlocked, breaking the stick holding record! 】
[Hey, let me wipe it. Why didn’t I think of this? Okay, I pressed it. All the wolf howling studs, I bet Fang Shen won’t get the tree stick in this adventure! 】
[My day, I will go all-in, stud! If I can get a stick, I will eat this monitor!]
The management in the live broadcast room immediately opened a bet on whether Bifang could get the tree stick this time.
This seems to be a new rule on the platform. Use wolf cents to press yes or no. If you win, you can divide the loser's wolf cents.
As soon as the market opened, the "No" options instantly overwhelmed the "Yes" options. Everyone felt that they were sure to make a profit without losing any money, which amounted to hundreds of thousands of wolf cents. God knows how many people participated.
Very good at playing.
Bi Fang smiled and pressed a hundred sticks himself. He didn't care about this small bet and stuffed two sticks of sargassum into his mouth.
This thing not only satisfies hunger, but is also rich in minerals and vitamins, and has balanced nutrition. It is a good harvest, and it directly restored a large amount of blood to Bifang, who had been hungry for two days.
After eating some sargassum, water droplets began to gather in the life raft again. Bi Fang's mouth was dry and he drank it all. Then he scooped out all the excess water in the life raft and wiped the raft dry with a bath towel.
The whole body lies down.
"When sleeping at night, the inside of the raft should not be too humid. Otherwise, long-term exposure to seawater may easily cause skin ulcers. I have mentioned this before."
"If a small boat or rubber raft is not protected for a long time, water may accumulate everywhere in the boat, and the feet will have to be soaked in seawater for a long time. This is quite a troublesome problem."
"Moderate exercise can help protect your feet and prevent frostbite. Being naked is quite dangerous. Cover your body when resting, and move your limbs slightly when observing."
"It's a pity that I don't have a blanket, only a wet bath towel. Fortunately, I was taken away in the bathhouse, otherwise I might not even have this bath towel."
Bi Fang laughed at himself,
He also had to think about how to spend the next nineteen days. A ball of seaweed was not enough. He needed meat.
On the second day of survival at sea, I harvested a bunch of sargassum.
