Chapter 298: A Tale of Misery and Fire, a Little Cheating
When Wu Hu returned to the shelter, he poured a pot into the small stream next to it, filled another pot with stream water, and carried it back to the beach. Among the other groups, some people had already begun to drill wood there.
It became popular. The first person to take action was Sister Bing from the third group.
This soldier sister acted vigorously and resolutely, and her movements were actually faster than those of the other three groups of survival experts. After she carried back a bundle of firewood, she started directly.
And the most incredible thing is that the method she used was not the most labor-saving bow drilling method, but rubbing it directly with both hands.
Seeing her professional wood-drilling skills, neat and concise movements, and unexpected hand speed, netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't help but applaud her, especially some female netizens. After all, Bing's sister Li Rensu is a girl
.
As for Tietie, although she is a girl, everyone generally dislikes her.
When Wu Hu put the cauldron on the earthen stove, Li Rensu, the soldier's sister, had already picked up the fire starter and waved it in the air, using the air flow to let the sparks ignite the fire starter.
Zhao Niefeng also built a stone stove and filled a pot of sea water and brought it back.
Presumably, they did not realize that the boiling point of sea water is higher than that of fresh water. However, it is possible that they knew this but felt that it did not matter.
After all, no matter how high the boiling point of sea water is, it's not actually much higher.
Wu Hu was willing to bring back a pot of boiled water just because he had enough strength and physical energy to use it up. For Zhao Niefeng to carry a large pot of water and walk for one or two hundred meters, it would consume a lot of physical energy.
Therefore, it is understandable that we would choose to use sea water nearby.
When the players from the other groups came back again holding bundles of firewood and saw bursts of smoke rising from the side of the third group, a sense of urgency emerged.
Xiao Zhuanfeng, a contestant from Group 6 who originally carried a bundle of firewood back as quickly as possible and then ran to get a second bundle of firewood, was stunned when he saw this scene when he came back.
Then everyone hurriedly started preparing fire-making tools and got busy there.
It can be seen from their actions that each of these survival experts very wisely chose the most labor-saving bow drilling method to drill wood to make fire.
They took off their shoelaces and quickly made a simple wooden bow. Then they started using fire-making tools and began to pull hard.
However, what made netizens in the six groups of live broadcast rooms couldn't help but scratch their heads was that Xiao Zuanfeng might have been in a hurry, so he used too much force and broke the drill pipe directly.
The life-saving experts from Group 1 and Group 5 did not notice this at this time. They just lowered their heads and clicked on the simple wooden bows in their hands. They were lucky. Not long after, a wisp of smoke came from between the drill pipe and the drill plate.
The small card slot popped up.
Sister Tie Tie was the last one to come back, and she was dragging a large branch back, which seemed to be quite difficult. Seeing this scene, Wu Hu couldn't help but touch his forehead. You obviously don't have much strength, but you are still wasting your energy here.
It won't work out for a while, it depends on whether you are in a hurry or not.
Of course, he thought so in his heart, but on the surface, Wu Hu still looked calm and relaxed. When Tie Tie came back and sat there panting, he handed him a bottle of mineral water with the cap unscrewed, and said
He comforted: "It's okay, don't worry! Now the third group has successfully built a fire and is boiling water. As long as there is no problem with Zhuo Ge's stove, then it is estimated that the first place will be won by the third group. As long as we can succeed
Making a fire is still number one.”… Sister Tie Tie took the water, took a sip, and then turned around to look around and found that the other four groups were already busy, but the smoke in the third group had become smaller and the fire was raging.
Obviously, the three groups had already led the other groups to choose from a distance. At this time, Li Rensu, the soldier sister, stuffed a lot of firewood into the kitchen hall, then got up and continued to look for firewood.
Some people who saw this scene realized that Li Rensu was playing time.
Anyway, as long as it is lit, the next time you come back with firewood, even if all the firewood in the stove is burned out, there will still be charcoal fire inside, and you can easily relight it.
At the same time, Sister Tietie, who had rested for a while, began to make a simple wooden bow.
Everyone knows that the second group does not pursue speed, only success rate.
Therefore, there is no need to rush with other groups.
Even if you want to catch up, you can't catch up.
Sister Tietie picked a curved branch, took off the shoelaces from her shoes, tied them to the branch, and then took out the drill rod and drill board that had been prepared in advance.
The drilling board is made of two pieces of firewood side by side. Sister Tietie kneels on the ground with one foot on the two pieces of firewood. The drill rod is inserted into the small slot at the joint of the two pieces of firewood. Then she caps the spring water bottle in her hand.
Press on the top of the drill rod and start pulling the simple wooden bow.
Tie Tie's speed was not very fast, but she still felt a little sore in her hands very quickly, which made her a little anxious. As a result, the firewood she stepped on became crooked by accident.
The drill rod instantly fell off the firewood slot, and the previous efforts were in vain.
Seeing this situation, Mina opened her mouth and looked at Wu Hu.
Wu Hu comforted him: "Tie Tie, don't worry, take your time, we are not in a hurry, you take a rest first. Give me your hand, and I will massage and relax your arms."
Wu Hu estimated that Tie Tie's arms must be very sore.
Sister Tie Tie glanced at him and nodded without being pretentious. Her arm did feel sore and swollen. Wu Hu took her hand and directly massaged her arm.
In the live broadcast room, netizens who saw this scene couldn't help but dumbfounded.
"This scene reminds me of Xingye's movie..."
"Haha...it does look a bit like it!"
"The second group is finished, I feel like Tietie is going to fail..."
"Don't curse my wife! First warning!"
…
Amid the banter and laughter among netizens, Sister Tietie started her second attempt.
However, this is only the beginning of Sister Tietie's "Suffering to Make Fire".
When several other groups successfully lit the fire and the hot water in the pot began to steam, Sister Tietie had already failed four times.
Seeing this situation, Mina wanted to complain. She thought that even if she was allowed to come, the situation would not be worse than the current situation! But looking at Sister Tietie's anxious look, it was hard for her to complain, lest she be criticized.
Consider it a complaint.
Wu Hu continued to comfort Tie Tie, not only massaging her, but also cheering her up.
Seeing this scene, netizens who were originally envious and jealous of Wu Hu and wanted to kick him away and replace him with their own bodies were a little embarrassed to talk about Wu Hu's fault.
Facing Wu Hu's care and encouragement, Tie Tie's sister, who was sweating, couldn't give up at this time. She kept cheering herself up in her heart, Tie Tie, you can do it! You can do it!... However, when
While the water in the other groups had already boiled, there was still no movement from the second group. Sister Tietie had failed twelve times in a row.
At this time, Sister Tietie was no longer as calm as before. Her big black eyes were full of confusion, and she seemed to feel a little sorry for her partners in the second group.
Wu Hu can actually understand Sister Tietie's anxiety. After all, every time she tries, the success rate is actually decreasing, because her physical fitness will also decrease accordingly.
She probably doesn't have much strength left now.
In this regard, Mina didn't know what to say, so she could only hug Tietie and give her some comfort under Wu Hu's silent eyes.
Wu Hu coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry too much. It's not that easy to drill wood to make fire. Just think about what it felt like when we tried it in the shelter before."
As he spoke, he took her hand and gently massaged her arm. This was already the twelfth time Wu Hu had massaged her sore arm.
In fact, there are many examples of failed efforts to make fire by drilling wood. Even a powerful person like Starving Virtue has failed in this, let alone a weak woman like Tie Tie.
Several other groups were also silently following the second group at this time, but none of them came over. At this time, no matter what they said, it was a little inappropriate.
They were already the winners. The first one to boil the sea water was indeed the third group.
The second successful group was six groups.
Although Xiao Zhuanfeng of the sixth group had an accident when drilling wood to make a fire, they had more time to fuel the fire in the kitchen hall because they had prepared the firewood.
In fact, it is to fan the fire to increase the impact and heat of the flame.
In this way, the time for boiling sea water will naturally be shortened.
It has to be said that Xiao Zhuanfeng also worked hard.
The third place is one group, the fourth place is five groups, and the last place is two groups.
However, the second group has not been able to successfully light a fire until now. If they arrive at the time of the mountain hunting project and still fail, it will be considered a complete failure.
At this time, Wu Hu didn't have sister Tie Tie to try again. After giving her a massage, he said: "Tie Tie, you take a rest first and let's eat something."
As he spoke, he gently tossed the mineral water bottle in his hand, and then discovered that the sunlight passed through the mineral water bottle and there was some focusing phenomenon.
Then, a small idea of cheating appeared in Wu Hu's mind.
Pretending to be inadvertent, he placed the mineral water bottle horizontally on the drill board, and then silently adjusted the angle. At this time, the sunlight was almost vertical, but after being refracted by the round mineral water bottle, the light refracted.
Wu Hu silently adjusted the angle so that the refracted light would focus on the slot between the two pieces of firewood, heating the slot.
In fact, firewood is not one of those flammable materials. It is almost impossible to ignite firewood with this mineral water bottle unless you use a convex lens with better focusing ability.
The two girls did not notice Wu Hu's cheating behavior. Mina asked Wu Hu with some confusion, "Brother Hu, what are we eating? Those oysters?"
Wu Hu smiled and said: "We still have a big fish!"... "But we didn't make a fire!"
Wu Hu smiled and said: "Do you dare to eat fish? Have you ever eaten sashimi?"
Tietie and Mina both nodded, but Mina said: "But we don't have those dipping sauces! Wouldn't it be a bit monotonous if we just eat it raw?"
Tie Tie also said: "What if our intestines and stomach can't stand eating raw food?"
Wu Hu thought about it and felt that Tie Tie's worries were somewhat justified.
So Tietie said: "Let me try again! Let's find out the feeling first."
Seeing Tie Tie taking a deep breath, Wu Hu hurriedly said: "Don't be impatient and rest for a while! Let the soreness and swelling in your arms disappear before trying again, otherwise you won't be able to hold on for long."
Hearing this, Sister Tietie nodded and did not refuse Wu Hu's proposal.
In fact, she had tried to grit her teeth and persevere many times before, but in the end she failed to hold back her breath and ultimately failed.
At this time, several other groups had already started making their lunch.
Although the seawater boiling in the cauldron cannot be used for cooking, it does not prevent them from using it to steam seafood such as conches, seashells and oysters.
Watching them start steaming seafood, Tie Tie felt like he couldn't wait any longer, but Wu Hu still asked him to rest for a while until he could build up his physical strength.
In fact, he was silently touching the temperature on the edge of the firewood slot with his fingers.
After a period of sunlight refraction, he could clearly feel that the temperature in the card slot had exceeded the current surface temperature, but he still felt that it was not enough.
If it fails this time, Wu Hu doesn't know if Tietie has the courage to continue. Even his own confidence may be frustrated.
After all, they have cheated quietly using this method, and if they still fail, that is their fate.
Finally, after another ten minutes, Sister Tietie felt that it was almost done. It was almost half an hour's break, and the third group had already begun to enjoy lunch.
Wu Hu quietly touched the card slot, nodded, and said, "Okay! Try it one last time. Don't worry, try it first and see."
Sister Tietie nodded, casually threw the mineral water bottle on the firewood to Wu Hu, then took a deep breath and started the thirteenth attempt.
As a result, after more than ten seconds, Mina started to add oil to Tietie with excitement on her face.
Because, a wisp of green smoke is rising from under the card slot.
Seeing this situation, Sister Tietie almost cried with joy, her hands were shaking.
"Come on, Tie Tie! Don't get excited, continue..."
Naturally, Tie Tie would not give up at this time. It was not that she had failed to generate sparks by friction before, but she was too anxious at that time. As a result, there were not enough sparks and she failed to successfully ignite the kindling. That was the closest she came to success.
.
Therefore, she needs to rub more sparks this time.
After more than a minute, she quickly put down the simple wooden bow and drill rod in her hands, then carefully picked up the tinder and blew gently. The smoke became bigger and bigger.
Seeing this situation, Tie Tie's hands shook even more. It was not only excitement, but also fatigue. The muscles in her arms were too exhausted. If Wu Hu hadn't been massaging her to relieve her muscle fatigue, he would probably
She could no longer lift her arms.
At this time, netizens in the live broadcast room were also cheering for her.
"It's not easy. It's not easy for my wife. Wow..."
"It's okay! It's such a relief. The second group has finally passed the critical point."
"Don't be too complacent yet. The firewood preparation of the second group is obviously insufficient, and there are still people who are in trouble!"
"So, was it wrong or right for Tie Tie to ask Fat Hu to give her a massage? It feels like a lot of time was wasted! If all this time is used to collect firewood..."
"If that were to happen, Tie Tie's arm would probably be unable to be lifted up. Do you really think it's that easy to drill wood to make fire?"
"Okay, hurry up and bless my wife!"
…… .
It’s too late to be sad and remind you: remember to collect it after reading it
