There are fifteen screens, but only one is on. It’s the only one of Scorpion’s screens.
The scene switched, and the face of the person who started the fire was half-dark under the light of the fire, but the look of relaxation and joy could still be seen.
It's Doragon.
Many viewers were deeply impressed by this elite member of the firefighting team. Gein introduced him emphatically at the beginning. He once had a confrontation with a brown bear and successfully escaped.
The drone flew and took pictures of what Doligon was doing. Two black rocks lay quietly on the ground, which were flints.
The two pieces of flint have neat fractures. They were originally one piece, but they were probably broken by Dorigon.
The audience suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the fire started so quickly, but they were able to find flint in the dark night. I wonder if it was luck or real ability.
Bi Fang joked: "It seems that our firefighting team members are not only good at putting out fires, but they are also good at making fires."
With the light, even if it was only a little, the next thing would be easier to handle. Dorigon wrapped the flint with a strip of cloth and made it into a simple knife. He also began to chop branches and prepare to build a small nest.
Although he did not escape capture and obtain the initial props, as a member of the country's elite firefighting team, Doligon, who often spends time in the wild, is definitely at the forefront of all contestants in terms of his storage of outdoor wilderness knowledge.
Putting out fires is not as simple as ordinary people think. You must have a good understanding of the terrain, trees and environment. It is not just a matter of pouring water. Moreover, protecting wild animals is also one of Doligon's responsibilities. If you want to protect
, you must first understand the habits of animals, right?
Now that we have the fire, we have the confidence to withstand the severe cold. There is no need to rush the next thing. As long as we take our time, we can always complete the construction.
Naturally, other people think the same way. Fire can not only bring light, but also warmth.
Unfortunately, they were obviously not as lucky as Doligon and could easily find flint. They could only try to use some relatively primitive methods, such as drilling wood to make fire. However, the primitive method of making fire required skills and physical strength, and the selection of materials was equally important.
, otherwise Bi Fang would not have to explain how to select materials every time.
The geographical environment is different, and the types of plants are also different. The materials used by Bi Fang every time he makes a fire will be adapted to local conditions, and he will try to choose the ones that are common and easy to use in the local area.
But it was getting late. Not only was it difficult to find suitable materials, but the contestants did not dare to leave the drop-in location easily. At least the drop-in point was a safe spot that the program team had explored. Who knows if they would encounter danger if they went elsewhere.
?
Fortunately, the weather is still cold, and many poisonous insects and snakes have not yet come out, otherwise the night will be even more difficult.
So half an hour had passed, and counting Doragon, only three players had lit the flames.
It is worth mentioning that Mu Galen finally opened the military can with a sharp stone. The military can is very good at replenishing calories. After just two bites of meat, Mu Galen felt the heat rising from his stomach and was no longer afraid.
It was freezing cold, and digging holes quickly began.
"Is it a pit?" Bi Fang took a second look and understood the type of shelter Mu Jialen wanted to build, which was a pit where he could hide. "Pit-type shelters have higher requirements and are usually found in deserts.
It is used because there are fewer poisonous insects after the soil is dug up, so there are not many use of soil pits in the forest."
After a pause, Bi Fang continued to explain: "But under the current circumstances, it is still a good idea. Because of the severe cold, many places are covered with frozen soil, and there are not many insects. And because of the freezing, the lower soil is relatively dry, which is more important.
The thing is, digging a pit is much more convenient than cutting branches in the dark."
[As expected of a deer hunter, he has something good]
[The weirder the style, the stronger the strength]
【Mu Da Da】
The soil that had been frosted was not strong. Rainwater seeped into the soil, and it froze and sublimated at night, making it very soft. Within a dozen minutes, Mugallen dug a pit large enough to accommodate one person.
It's not deep. The deeper you dig the pit, the harder it becomes. The energy consumed and the harvest are unknown. It only needs to be deep enough for a person to lie down completely.
Then Mu Jialun spread a layer of dead branches and leaves underneath, and after lying down, he spread a layer on his body, then sprinkled soil on top, covering it tightly, and fell asleep like this.
The audience was amazed to see that he was indeed an old hunter, and he was so courageous that he dared to sleep without even starting a fire.
After seeing Mu Jialun's pit, the perspective switched to Ji Zuodong's side. At this time, he had already built his own shack. It was very simple, and it was an open hut.
Find two trees that are close to each other, lean the long poles on them, and then lay them out layer by layer, covering them with dead branches and shrubs to block the wind, and a simple hut is completed.
However, the thermal insulation effect of such a hut is much poorer. For this reason, Ji Zuodong is still trying to make a fire. With the claw knife, he can easily obtain finely divided tinder. Bi Fang does not doubt that he can make a fire.
The shelter built by Bono, the first to successfully escape, really impressed everyone.
It’s actually a hammock!
The twenty-meter nylon rope was quite a long piece of rope, and Bono made the best use of it, directly using it to build a hammock. Not only could it effectively prevent bugs on the ground, but it was also much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground.
【Hammock! I have never slept on one】
[This ranger can do it, he can actually think of using a rope like this]
But despite the benefits, Bifang still shook his head.
"If you are in a rain forest, it is undoubtedly excellent to make a hammock. A hammock far away from the ground can effectively isolate the moisture on the ground. The rain forest is rich in species and there are many poisonous insects, snakes and ants. A hammock can also avoid these dangerous creatures.
But this is a forest, or the Rocky Mountains at the end of February, and the climate is very cold. Even if you cover the hammock with leaves, the thermal insulation effect is limited. It's just good for one night. Over time, your body will definitely not be able to withstand it."
Bono wrapped a lot of branches around the hammock, so that the hammock would not become a simple string, and it could also hold a lot of dead branches and leaves, but this was still not enough.
In a cold environment, the first element of shelter is warmth.
"If your constitution is not strong enough, you should just build a shack honestly, or else someone else can take care of it and catch a cold overnight."
The performance of the three escapees was what the audience was most concerned about. After watching their performance, the camera showed the remaining contestants. Some people succeeded in starting a fire, while others tried for half an hour and finally failed with their arms sore.
But without exception, after everyone tried or failed to make a fire, they started to build their own shacks, basically using local materials. If that was not possible, they would probably build a shed that could keep out the wind and rain.
Everyone got through the first night like this, and when everyone started to fall asleep, the first day of live broadcast ended.
In the woods, a transport helicopter was parked on the frozen soil, and the cabin was full of screens and people.
"How about it?"
Bi Fang took off his headphones and looked at Jarrett.
Jarrett gave a thumbs up and said in admiration: "It's very impressive. Not to mention the wilderness field, I have never seen the same explanation as yours even in other fields."
Commentators appear in many places. Whether it is a game competition or a sports competition, the commentator's voice is always inseparable.
Qualified commentators should have two basic requirements: first, they must have excellent professional qualities; second, they must be eloquent and good at guiding the audience's emotions.
Not to mention the former, if the orange legendary level Wilderness Traveler is not considered a professional, then no one in the world can say that he is a professional.
The second point is that Bifang also knows that practice makes perfect. His daily live broadcast is not only about showing off his skills, but more importantly, he has to communicate with hundreds of thousands of viewers.
Wilderness Survival spends a lot of time on the road, and being able to retain even half of the audience during this boring time is enough to show how awesome Bifang is.
When you go to any place, you can tell the local history, and when you do something, you can trace its origins and tell relevant national stories. Even if Bifang is not proficient at the beginning, after more than half a year, he is still an old man selling oil, and he is familiar with it.
Adding the two together, Bifang has no sense of inconsistency as a commentator, and it can be said to be a seamless connection.
Bi Fang nodded, that's fine. Then he touched his stomach. He hadn't eaten all afternoon and he was really hungry now.
Jarrett also noticed it and moved out a big box, which contained various cans, instant noodles and instant rice.
There is no other way. They have to stay here with the players for 12 days. It is impossible for other helicopters to send supplies every day, so they have to eat these foods every day.
Bi Fang was not polite. Compared to the ones he often ate in the wild, a box of instant noodles was considered a delicacy in the world.
Food produced under modern industry is absolutely incomparable in terms of taste, not to mention whether it is healthy or not.
The next day, when the first contestant sat up from the dead branches, Bi Fang started the live broadcast. After greeting the audience as usual, the camera showed the first contestant who got up to move.
It's not completely bright yet, but it's obvious that the other party can't "sleep" any longer.
【No, you got up so early?】
【It’s not dawn yet? What time is it now? 】
"The local time is about 5:30 in the morning, and there is still an hour before dawn." Seeing the surprised faces of the audience, Bi Fang looked at his watch and said calmly, "The reason why this player got up so early is entirely because of his performance last night.
Didn’t sleep at all.”
Not sleeping?
The audience was shocked.
Bi Fang nodded, obviously he had expected this situation. Last night, apart from the supervision team who were always checking the players' condition, he also didn't get up to take a look.
Among the fifteen people, at least three stayed up all night, seven were too exhausted to fall asleep in the latter half of the night, and two remained motionless, so it was hard to tell. What was clear was that only a few were digging in.
He fell asleep not long after entering the shack.
"The pressure of surviving in the wild is huge, especially when you are alone and without any protection, insomnia is almost inevitable."
I wonder who has ever slept alone and unarmed in the wild?
The wilderness here is not at the intersection near the village, but in the large forest. When it gets dark, you can't see your fingers and you can often hear the howling of wolves.
No tent, no companions, no weapons, not even directions.
The fifteen contestants all have experience in wild camping, but probably none of them meets the above three conditions at the same time.
Bi Fang was able to quickly fall asleep in the wild during his first live broadcast, which is actually a reflection of his strong psychological quality.
Of course, the skills given by the system also give you a certain amount of experience and confidence, so you won't panic too much, otherwise you will lose sleep.
[No, since you can’t go to bed early, why do you still waste time? 】
【Yes, isn't this a waste of time?】
"Because of the cost."
cost?
The audience was stunned when they heard this word, feeling vaguely familiar, as if Fang Shen had said it before?
"Of course I have. I have said before that survival in the wilderness is actually a mathematical problem. You must consider costs and benefits in everything you do." Bi Fang pointed to the picture of the first contestant who stood up and kept moving his body.
He was very cold.
"What can you do if you don't sleep at night? Walking at night? This is never a good idea. Walking at night in the forest is very dangerous. The first thing is the direction problem. If there are no stars, you can easily lose your way, and it is also at night.
A lot of animals are active at this time, running around and leaving a trail of scent behind, making it easy to bump into and catch up with them.”
"The weather is too cold. If you keep relying on activities to keep warm, your body will consume a lot of energy and will easily get hungry, so you can only lie in the shack, even if you can't sleep.
These people may not have slept alone in the wild, but they still understand the truth, perhaps not as clearly as I summarized it, and they also know to conserve their strength as much as possible and wait until dawn before exploring."
Only then did the audience understand why the contestants had to lie down in the shack despite being unable to sleep. It turned out to be to preserve their strength.
The first awakened contestant moved his body for a while, and the sky became bright. After feeling that his body was getting warm, he let out a breath of mist and began to look for new fire-making materials. He failed to make a fire last night, and his arms were so sore that he could not help himself.
Try again. I have recovered a little today and plan to try again.
With the faint light, he began to search for suitable materials, and often went to some larger rock piles, which made the audience quite puzzled.
Seeing that some viewers were puzzled, Bi Fang explained: "He is looking for flint. In the wild, flint can be found in larger piles of rocks, and the probability of finding it is the highest."
As the sky lights up at one o'clock, more and more contestants wake up. The temperature in the wild in the Rocky Mountains is completely below zero. Many people have a handful of white frost on their faces as soon as they wake up.
Gradually, the audience discovered that two contestants were sneezing.
This is a sign of a cold.
Many viewers were quite worried, and Bi Fang also had a premonition that maybe someone would quit as soon as the game started.
However, the next step is the main event.
Bi Fang held the thermos cup and his thoughts gradually drifted away. He remembered his map design and the placement of the contestants based on his strict calculations.
How should the contestants spend their three hundred hours? Should they choose to build a camp on the spot and accumulate survival materials step by step, or should they choose to travel through the wilderness in order to obtain a higher score?
If you choose to travel through time, do you have to deviate from the straight line to find a wooden house a hundred kilometers away? Take a gamble on the materials inside?
It will take at least two days to find the wooden house. Is it still possible to successfully cross?
If he chooses to give up traveling, can he still be better than the players who choose to stay and accumulate for several days from the beginning?
Physical ability, distance, danger, time.
Players need to carefully consider every step. One wrong step and the next wrong step may be the clarion call for success, or it may be an endless abyss.
Today is the first day the contestants have experienced, and it is also the day they need to make a choice.
