Chapter 808 Seventy-Seven Days

June 3.

On the deserted Gobi Desert, a huge camel walked on the stones on the ground. A young man in khaki expedition clothes sat on the camel's back, gently pulling the reins to control the direction of the camel.

This scene was not strange. It was no different from most camel breeders. It was just that the young man's appearance was out of tune with the locals. It was a bit strange that he could ride a camel alone and walk freely, even though he should be a tourist.

But if you look closely, you can find that there is more strangeness than this. The equipment on the camel is very "primitive", not in terms of function and shape, but in terms of materials. Most of them are even woven from tree bark.

Even the poorest camel breeders have at least a few wood carvings, leather, and camel saddles with exquisite patterns at home. It is impossible to use this kind of saddle that has no fancy and looks very shabby.

"It's usually easy to get off a camel: hold the reins and stand still, then slide down from its neck or back."

"You can also climb up from the neck of a trained camel. Camels have hard waists, so they are not as comfortable to ride as horses, but they are warmer. In winter, riding on a camel has humps in front and behind to block the wind, and the whole body is furry, so you won't feel cold at all. It's just as fast as a horse, and you don't need to feed it well."

"But it's hotter during the day, so it's best to have a bamboo mat or something."

Bifang said as he stepped down from the camel's neck and slid down all the way. The whole process was extremely smooth.

After two more days of training, Bifang was already able to skillfully ride this newly trained camel.

[666, no need to feed it well (dog head)]

[Camel: I've only had a few days of good food, and you're starting this soon? ]

[You called me Little Sweetie two days ago, but today you call me Mrs. Niu, huh, man]

[Too fast, really too fast]

"Don't talk nonsense."

Bifang led the camel directly to a melon field.

"Strictly speaking, our area is still muddy, so the vegetation is quite rich, there are many shrubs and so on, and we can even find two trees to see if there are any fruits on them. When we really enter the desert area, I don't know what I can eat by then."

"So before that, we have to replenish as much supplies as possible. Speaking of which, this melon field is almost eaten up by us."

The camel training that lasted nearly a week has officially come to an end, and the next step is to officially set off to cross the Sahara.

Bifang searched on the ground and found that there were not many desert gourds left.

There were not many plants growing in this area, and when Bifang and the camel came, they were consumed rapidly, with a few coming every day, but Bifang only picked the fruits and did not remove the roots and stems. By next year, there will be another fertile melon field.

Pick the last few melons and carry them on the camel's back.

After doing this, Bifang looked up at the sun, gently squeezed the camel's belly, turned around, and officially headed north, with the scorching sun behind him, and golden light all over the ground.

"Humans often regard the external environment that they are not adapted to as adversity, and use it as a metaphor to fight against it."

"I used to think so, but after experiencing so many things, my thoughts began to change. That is not a good way to survive in dangerous situations - fighting against nature, the loser is yourself."

"The new environment does contain potential dangers. You must take precautions in advance, but nature will not favor anyone."

"Learn to adapt to each climate and learn to use what the environment gives you. The climate does not only depend on the latitude, but the location and altitude are also very important factors."

"Most desert areas were once fertile lands, and some creatures survived there and adapted to the new environment."

"Like them, survivors must learn to use any shade that can protect themselves from the scorching sun, minimize the loss of body fluids, and limit daily activities. Constantly learn survival experience from travelers crossing the desert."

[Survival of the fittest! ]

[If you can't change nature, then learn to change yourself]

[Mutation, start! ]

Bifang closed his eyes, as if he was recalling something in the past.

After a moment, he continued to speak.

"Some deserts, such as the Sahara Desert, the Middle East Desert, the Peruvian and northern Chilean deserts, and the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, have a very large temperature difference between day and night. At night, water vapor in the air condenses to obtain precious water."

"In the Namibian Desert in South Africa, the moist fog brought by the sea breeze also provides the water vapor necessary for life."

"In areas such as the Mojave Desert in Western Australia, northern Mexico and southwestern U.S., the temperature difference between day and night is relatively small, and there is little water vapor condensation, so animals and plants are scarce and survival is more difficult."

"Sometimes, such as in the Kalahari Desert, some sparse grass grows Even in the most barren environments, some life can still survive, but you have to know how to find it. "

"In the desert, you will encounter sandstorms, visibility is almost reduced to zero, and you need to take good care to prevent sand from entering your mouth, eyes, ears and nose. In addition, there are cyclones, a kind of desert cyclone similar to a tornado, which is very common. "

"Even if you encounter rains, which may take many years to appear in some areas, you must not be too happy too soon. They may come down in torrents and quickly form huge floods, which will soon be absorbed by the dry surface. "

"It sounds dangerous, but during this period, some plants will bloom briefly, and animals that reproduce quickly will complete their life cycle, such as the spadefoot toad living in Arizona."

[Another day of being shocked by knowledge]

[Lao Fang knows too much! ! (Waves the light stick wildly)]

[The first jungle master is online, animals, tremble! ! ! ]

Facing the cheers of the audience, Bifang smiled and gently shook the reins to make the camel walk faster.

Feeling the wind flowing in the air, Bifang Wude took out a felt hat from the backpack hanging next to the camel.

[Hiss, Lao Fang took out something strange again]

[Where did this come from?]

[Fuck, did I enter the theater of Indiana Jones? 】

"I have said so much, the purpose is just to let you understand the true meaning of survival. Don't blame others. You have to use your brain, which is the most precious wealth of our human beings, and then discover and adapt to the glimmer of life in those extreme environments."

"Now there is only one goal in front of us, that is the Sahara, the worst, most famous and largest death desert in the world."

"In the past, the Sahara was also an oasis, and many people lived and multiplied. But with the deterioration of the environment, this area was gradually covered by the desert and became one of the areas with the worst natural conditions on the earth, and one of the areas least suitable for biological survival on the earth."

"Our goal is to cross it within a limited time."

Bifang put on his felt hat with his backhand to block the dazzling sunlight.

The index finger flicked the brim of the hat, and the shaking cast a shadow obliquely, covering his expression.

"In "Around the World in Eighty Days", Mr. Fogg can travel around the world and return to London in 80 days, so I believe that we can also cross the entire Sahara in 77 days."
