"Never use stones that have been picked up from the riverbed or are very wet. The stones maintain the heat of the fire, help prevent sparks from flying onto the sleeping mat, and ensure adequate oxygen flow under the fire."
"To reduce smoke in the house, use wood that is not prone to smoke, that is, wood that is dry, has no bark or moss, and does not contain resin."
While explaining, Bi Fang carefully built the fire pit. The inside was the fire pit, and on the outside, he was also planning to extend it to make a proposed stove.
By the time the wooden house was completely completed, it was already three days later. Although it took a lot of time and energy, the results were worth it.
On the cold Arctic snowfield, a small, but extremely neat cabin appeared in the woods.
Every piece of wood is straight, making the wooden house look square. A thin layer of frost has accumulated on the sloping roof, but due to the slope, no thicker layer of snow has accumulated.
On the other side next to the door of the wooden house, a stove made of piled stones is eye-catching. There is a faint gray smoke coming out of the bottom. The bottom is a layer of black ash, which is the residue after burning peat soil.
Bi Fang opened the door and yawned.
Last night was definitely the most comfortable night he slept, even the bed was warm.
Burning a fire underneath, separated by a thick layer of rocks, and covering it with a soft, thick, clean and odorless musk ox leather sleeping bag is simply the pinnacle of life.
That's right, musk ox hide was made into a sleeping bag by Bi Fang. It was called a sleeping bag, but it was actually just folded in half and the edges were sewn together with bark rope.
Since there was no daylight, Bi Fang could not tell the time, and because his biological clock was out of whack, he didn't even know what time he slept.
But judging from the comments from viewers in the live broadcast room, it should be around 10 a.m. in Greenland.
Thinking of this, Bifang moved his small horse trap, which he made himself. It was covered with a thick layer of musk ox skin. This piece of skin was taken from the leg of the musk ox. It was very comfortable to sit on and fish.
, warm and very soft at the same time.
"Comfortable~"
Bi Fang couldn't help but said.
The gray-brown wooden house is covered with a thin layer of snow, and the extinguished embers are still rising on the small stove beside it. The winding glacier flows out from the gaps in the low mountains, flowing into the invisible distance. Beyond that, there is an endless horizon.
The ice field, the dark night exudes lavender light.
The North Pole is undoubtedly beautiful, but this beauty can only be fully enjoyed when there is no life-threatening danger, and Bifang undoubtedly enjoyed it at this time.
"Ha, I took the bait!"
Bi Fang lifted the fishing rod, and the delicious live fish kept struggling. He pulled out the bone hook from the fish's lips, took a few steps, and threw the live fish into a puddle. What he could see was that it was also being eaten.
The other three fish caught.
Until noon on the twelfth day, Bifang looked at the sky in the distance. The sun never rose again, and there was no sunlight.
A complete and utter eternal night.
Bi Fang breathed a long sigh of relief: "It seems that after today until the end of the live broadcast, we won't be able to see the light of day."
【I have never seen the polar night in my life】
[To be honest, the polar night in the Arctic is brighter than I thought]
[Indeed, and it’s actually purple, why is that?]
"After sunlight enters the atmosphere, it will be scattered when it encounters atmospheric molecules and particles suspended in the atmosphere. These atmospheric molecules and particles themselves do not emit light, but because they scatter sunlight, every atmospheric molecule
A diffuse light source is formed.”
"According to Rayleigh's law of scattering, the shorter wavelengths of purple, blue, cyan and other colors of light in the solar spectrum are the easiest to scatter, while the longer wavelengths of red, orange, yellow and other colors of light have strong transmittance. So it's sunny
The sky is always blue, and the blue light is scattered in all directions."
"The same goes for purple. It has the shortest wavelength. There is too much snow and dust in the Arctic sky, so it is easy to appear during scattering, and we will see purple nights."
Bi Fang gave a brief explanation, quickly raised the fishing rod in his hand, and caught another big fish.
[I feel like Fang Shen will have no problem surviving for a hundred days]
【Yeah, I think so too】
【Fang Shen is awesome!】
"Maybe we can't sit back and rest. One musk ox is definitely not enough. Eating all lean meat is definitely not enough for energy intake in the Arctic. We can last for a month at most. Moreover, we need salt and have to go to the shore because the construction has just been completed.
Log cabin, I’m just going to rest for two days.”
"I'm going to use the remaining wood to make a dog sled later, and take it with me to get some sea water, extract sea salt, and see if I can harvest some more prey. These three guys eat so much meat from me every day, so they should do it.
Alive."
I get upset when I think of San Sha's appetite. He spent the whole day fooling around in the woods, doing nothing but eating a lot.
It was because San Shao ate too much that Bi Fang had to go out and take fishing as a rest activity.
It's time to let them know what labor is in exchange for reward.
Three sled dogs are more than enough to pull 100 kilograms of goods. After all, eight sled dogs can pull 300 kilograms of goods. They can run thirty to forty kilometers a day and are more than enough to carry one person and some portable items.
Moreover, these three animals are all very large. Although I don’t know how long they have been hungry, they are still surprisingly strong. It is definitely possible to take them with me to get sea salt.
Thinking that he was galloping on the snowy field with San Sha, Bi Fang felt a little moved. He immediately stuffed the big fish he had just harvested into the pit, picked out the appropriate wood, and after a while, he knocked on the pile of wood again.
The selected long branches are tanned over fire.
In order to carry as much stuff as possible, the weight of the sled must be small, so it is best to use strong branches to make it hollow.
Therefore, the appearance looks like a lounge chair woven with bamboo strips.
"Dog sledding has always been the lifeline between the North and South Poles, used to transport medicine and supplies, but now that airplanes and snowmobiles have become popular, dog sledding has become more of a sport, and most of them are still operated by local people.
use."
Place two tanned long sleds with tilted heads on the ground, polish them continuously with stones, and polish all the burrs quickly. This can effectively reduce the resistance and allow Sansi to pull more things.
After polishing, Bi Fang dug out a chute, then added a curved guardrail at the front, stuck the grooved guardrail on the warp head, and then tied it with a rope, so as to minimize the risk of slippage.
Stuttering and becoming smoother.
"I plan to use a mortise and tenon structure for the entire sled. However, due to the tools, the processing accuracy is very limited, so I can only make do with it, which may not be strong, so I have to add glue and fix it with ropes, so that it is safe.
