Chapter six hundred and ninetieth building a wooden house
Musk ox is a transitional species between cattle and sheep, and the meat actually tastes similar to both. It can be said to be a rare gourmet experience in Bifang's life.
It just lacks some seasoning and the taste is a bit bland, but it's not bad. After all, it's shabu-shabu, and what you want is the original and delicious taste.
A trip to the North Pole is worth it.
Bi Fang burped, leaned on the snow slope, and looked at the polar ice fields at night.
Nearly twenty days have passed since the one-hundred-day survival mission. With the musk oxen, the environment is not bad, and the resources are compared to the entire Arctic plain, the pressure of survival has been reduced by half, and everything I see makes me feel happy.
The sky is dotted with stars, scattered with starlight. Combined with the mist from the white earth, it turns into a misty lavender, and the entire galaxy belt runs through the sky.
This kind of night view cannot be seen anywhere else.
Now is the time for camping.
Bi Fang felt.
People are tired of the concrete jungle, working from 9 to 9 multiplied by six days, and want to leave the hustle and bustle between people and get along with insects and other animals.
And more and more people want to create such a camping culture. Although they don’t want to be naked and in close contact with nature like themselves, even if they are separated by some modern technology, they are undoubtedly yearning for it, but it’s just that
Often due to the thickness of the wallet, we have to weigh it repeatedly.
Ordinary people have too many demands in their lives, and often do not have the power and ability to choose the life they want.
Even if you really go through a lot of hardships, scrimp on food and clothing, grit your teeth, spare a little time, a lot of money, and all your energy, you may still make a mess due to lack of experience, from living to eating to going to the toilet.
Every time I'm in a hurry.
[I tried camping, but it wasn’t as fun as I imagined. It’s not a problem with nature, but a problem with me]
A middle-aged man was inspired by the beautiful scenery in front of him and couldn't help but post a comment.
The hustle and bustle of the city is so immersed that the topics of conversation are all about the life that I want to escape from.
[I can't stop chatting, but the conversations are boring. Such topics include but are not limited to, what to do if the child's cram school is cancelled, who can pay back xxx's 2 trillion, and when will the car's core be missing?
It’s a head (covering face)]
[Ma Dan, too realistic]
The content of people's chats cannot be separated from their own lives, just like their former classmates who always talked about everything. But after going to school in two places, after just one semester, the content that can be talked about has suddenly been reduced by 90%.
No matter what kind of conversation, if you want to enjoy the conversation, it must be something that has been experienced together.
Surrounded by greenery, listening to the gurgling water, but the exhaustion of topics will eventually make you dream of walking through the CBD office building, and what you hear is the sound of the musical fountain in front of the office building.
[It makes me cry when I say it]
【Another tearful day】
[I envy Lao Fang’s life... exciting and free]
[But you may die (dog head)]
"Don't be sad, it's already very late. Although I have a safe environment, I can still make further optimizations, so there are still a lot of actions waiting for me tomorrow. That's it for today's live broadcast. I'll talk about the rest tomorrow.
.”
Bi Fang smiled, patted his butt and stood up. The drone also flew in front of him. After the words fell to the ground, the live broadcast screen was cut off instantly.
At eight o'clock the next day, the sun didn't show any signs of rising, and the sky was still dark.
Standing up from the warm pile of three dogs, Bi Fang patted the dog hair on his body, started the live broadcast on time, prepared the tools, and started his optimization project. Before that, he first went to see where he buried the musk ox.
Place, well kept, nothing unusual.
In order to effectively freeze and kill parasites at low temperature, Bi Fang dismembered the musk ox and buried it in the snow, filling it and compacting it tightly. In this way, after a week, basically all the meat on the body can be eaten raw. It is simple and trouble-free.
The main purpose is to supplement vitamins and obtain a more adequate nutritional intake.
Cooked food in the Arctic can only be eaten as a way to spice up the taste.
The next step is to build a residence, which is also the content of today and tomorrow's activities under Bi Fangye's own responsibility.
"This time it's not igloos or igloos. Although ice and snow have very good thermal insulation properties, there is still a fatal flaw, that is, if the room temperature is higher than zero, it will inevitably melt, so the indoor temperature can only be raised to close to zero.
Within the extreme range, we can obtain a relatively warm and acceptable shelter.”
"But in order to live a better life, igloos and igloos are definitely not possible, so I am going to build a wooden house, and for this I have to carry out felling operations."
Bi Fang raised the tools in his hand. He had prepared a stone hammer and chisel.
Stone axes break easily, so felling can only be done with a chisel and hammer.
"Wooden houses are long-term shelters, most commonly used in cold and temperate climates. Wood is not only safe, stable, and warm, but it can also effectively withstand severe weather."
Bi Fang went to the woods, found some good trees, and collected the wood he needed.
"When building a wooden house, you can use an 'A' frame or a single-pitched roof style roof. If there is only one person, or if materials are limited, then I recommend using a single-pitched roof."
"When choosing wood, make sure that its weight is within a manageable range and that the tools are very sharp. If you chop down a tree with a diameter of half a meter, believe me, it will be completely useless to you because you will not be able to use it at all.
It cannot be moved, and don’t choose trees that require a lot of effort to move, otherwise it will be too difficult for you to build.”
"My advice is to use logs no larger than six inches, or fifteen centimeters, in diameter. The length of each log will depend on the size of the bunker and the walls it is being constructed from."
"Of course, this diameter is not absolute, but a universal choice. If you are a woman, you can reduce it appropriately. And if you go to an area with only hardwood, the diameter can also be reduced. Their density is undoubtedly higher. Likewise,
The size and mass are also heavier.”
With the final blow, a six-meter-high pine tree fell down.
After removing the excess branches and leaves, it was dragged to the river bank, followed by the second tree, and the third tree. Soon, a pile of low wood began to accumulate, but this was obviously not enough. This was a long accumulation process.
At noon, Bifang, who took off his coat, put the hammer on his shoulder and looked up at the sky. It was still dark with a faint purple light, but on the distant horizon, there was a faint golden light.
That's a corner of the sun, no, maybe not even a corner, just a little bit of the sun's rays.
And this is already the limit that the sun can rise.

A research team studied 25 black-tailed prairie dogs at the St. Louis Zoo in the United States. Dr. Adam Eltoray from Washington University in St. Louis led the study. He and his colleagues observed and recorded the prairie dogs throughout the summer.
Behavior. They found that the animals seemed to enjoy the attention, and as crowd size increased, adult marmots became much more relaxed and spent less time looking for potential threats. Adam Eltoray
The doctor said that when more people watch, adult marmots become more affectionate and engage in more kissing and touching actions. In turn, younger marmots become more nervous and aggressive.
