Chapter 76 Mysterious Discovery
"I found it, brothers!"
Chen Xu held the stone in his hand and showed it under the camera of the drone, "Have you seen the translucent part on it? This is quartz, the predecessor of glass. The main component is silicon dioxide, which is of Mohs hardness. 7, which is harder than normal steel."
"666, congratulations to Master Xu for getting the item: Flint and Steel × 1!"
"Item: flint, whether to pick up: yes/no."
"Great, with the flint, Master Xu can make a fire, otherwise, it would be disgusting to eat raw toads!"
In the barrage, a bunch of viewers started posting various barrages, making fun of Chen Xu.
After finding a quartz flint that can make a fire, Chen Xu was finally satisfied.
With flint, you can build a fire, and with fire, you can not only heat and light, eat cooked food, drink warm water, but also drive wild animals and mosquitoes away.
In short, as the starting point of ancient tribal civilization, fire has a crucial position for human beings.
After walking forward for a while, I didn't find anything new.
Just as Chen Xu was about to go back the same way, suddenly, a triangular object not far from the river attracted him.
After taking a few glances, he decided to take a look.
When I got to the front, it was a triangular frame made of tree trunks. It was covered with fallen leaves and moss. Although it was a bit broken, it could still be vaguely seen that this was a place to live!
Next to it, there is an obvious stove made of stone on the ground. Two wooden sticks are inserted next to it, forming a triangle, which is twisted together with iron wires, and a rusted iron box is hung on the iron wire.
"Wocao, Master Xu, what's the situation?"
"Yes, Master Xu, why did you come out of the residence and traces of the fire?"
"Could it be that there are savages in this primitive rainforest?"
"I can't, how can a savage have a tin box? I guess he is an adventurer like Xu Ye?"
Chen Xu carefully looked at the structure of the shack, thought about it, and judged: "This is not like a savage. The triangle is built stably. This principle can only be used after experiencing the baptism of a civilized society."
"Although this iron box is a little rusted, it can still be seen from the color that it is stainless steel, and the hanging holes on it are back-drilled. Savages will not do this."
"It is preliminarily concluded that there are three possibilities. The first is that it may be a wilderness adventurer like me, or the campsite left by the special forces of the Yunnan Military Region for field training. The second is that there are primitive villages nearby. , the children among them came out to play and built it easily."
"As for the third type...it may be set up by poachers or drug dealers."
In the live broadcast room, when the audience heard the word "drug dealer", their hearts suddenly jumped twice:
"My God, is it true or false, this is left by the drug dealers?"
"Wocao, if the drug dealers and poachers are too scary, they all kill people without blinking an eye!"
"Listening to Master Xu, I suddenly feel that this rainforest is not safe!"
"+1! Lord Xu, why don't you come back!"
"This place is so hard, except for Master Xu, can anyone really live here?"
Chen Xu nodded and looked at the surrounding environment, "I am now located outside the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, and Xishuangbanna is exactly the border between China and Myanmar. To be honest, I am a little unsure whether I am right now. still in the country."
"The rainforest on the China-Myanmar border has always been a golden channel for drug traffickers to come and go. Many drug traffickers even choose to live in the primitive rainforest and make drugs here in order to avoid the police's investigation."
"For poachers, the virgin rainforest is simply their paradise. There are wild beasts here, and there are all kinds of national-level protected animals. If you find a leopard,
A piece of leopard skin can be sold for tens of thousands, and a complete leopard skull is even more valuable. "
In the live broadcast room, when the audience heard Chen Xu's explanation, they were indignant one by one:
"Wocao, these people are too unreal!"
"Yeah, fine, why commit a crime!"
"I just want to say that if there is no buying and selling, there will be no killing!"
Chen Xu sighed, "If it's the first two cases, it's okay to say, but if it's the last case, then I have to be careful, but don't get so nervous, after all, just looking at the traces of the fire Rust from stainless steel, this camp has been around for years.”
"Fortunately, this iron can is very useful. Not only does it allow me to drink hot water, but it can also cook some things, such as fish soup. This iron wire is also very useful. You can make tools and take them together."
For him who had nothing, discovering this camp was like discovering a treasure.
Like a carpet search, Chen Xu turned the entire camp upside down, and the cigarette butts found behind the shack could confirm that it was definitely from the hands of modern people.
After packing everything into the backpack, Chen Xu returned to the waterfall, followed the strangling banyan, and then went up the valley.
Before returning to his camp, he took a look at the noose trap.
The trap is intact, and even the shit looks the same as it did in the morning, but the color is much darker.
Nothing to gain.
But Chen Xu doesn't care. After all, the trap is a business without capital. If you catch it, we will make money. If you can't catch it, it doesn't matter.
After all, this thing didn't waste our time.
Back at the camp, Chen Xu opened his backpack and started the first task: making a fire.
Since he didn't eat cooked food last night and was bitten by mosquitoes all night, lighting a fire has become his first priority now.
"The method of making a fire with flint is very simple. It is to use a hard rock to hit the metal, so that the metal wears out and sparks are generated. Therefore, this is why it is necessary to use flint, and ordinary stones cannot."
"Because ordinary stones are not hard enough to cause wear and tear on metals; our quartz stone is not as hard as flint, but it is enough!"
With that said, Chen Xu found some dry weeds, smashed them into pieces, and lumped them together to make a tinder.
Afterwards, he began to place the general's dagger and quartz on the top of the tinder, like cutting vegetables, and slammed the quartz against the quartz with the blade of the dagger.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Several times in a row, through the high-definition shooting of the drone, the audience really saw the infestation of Mars.
Just when Chen Xu smashed it again, the spark fell on the hay, and a little spark was instantly burned!
Seeing this, he excitedly picked up the tinder, put it to his mouth, and blew softly one bite at a time.
It didn't take a moment for a puff of ash to come out.
