Chapter 870 Sound of Rain

The mist spread over the vast grassland, breaking up the dark night into a hazy state.

There was no star in the sky, and the night that was still visible became pitch black.

Bifang woke up from his sleep, and the coldness caused goose bumps on his body.

It was autumn now, and with the heavy rain at night, the temperature dropped a lot, and he could even feel a little cold.

As if he also felt the loss of heat, Harley also opened his eyes in a daze, then stood up, leaned against Bifang and continued to lie down.

Only Jerry in the backpack had a naturally warm bed and did not feel anything unusual.

What time is it now?

Bifang touched his head and still felt very sleepy, which meant that he did not get enough sleep at all, and he did not feel that it would rain before he fell asleep.

With Bifang's current ability, except for very special weather conditions, he can basically accurately judge the weather conditions more than three hours in advance, and the accuracy rate is extremely high, exceeding 80%.

Although three hours does not seem long, it is already a very exaggerated data.

The atmosphere is a very complex system.

By observing the thickness and color of clouds, we can predict whether rain falls from clouds, how much rain it will rain, and when it will fall.

In addition, there are changes in air pressure, humidity, and wind speed, which are not something that ordinary people can handle.

Even with modern scientific means, supercomputers are used to deduce the humidity, temperature, air pressure, wind speed, and wind direction measured by ground, radar, satellite and other instruments, and mathematical methods are used to calculate the laws of atmospheric movement.

To analyze the impact of different cloud layers, forecast experts use meteorology, dynamics, thermodynamics and other data to comprehensively analyze the forecasts. Even so, the accuracy of producing short-term 1 to 6 hours of weather trends is only 85%.

Human observations of the earth system are still not very complete, and there are still many technical difficulties that have not been overcome. These uncertain factors have caused 15% "inaccuracy".

This shows how powerful Bifang is and how complex the atmospheric system is.

And three hours is enough for a person to do a lot of things.

It is completely possible to make a good shelter or find a safe spot.

In the wilderness, people go to bed early, usually within three hours after the sun sets. Judging from various signs, it should be after midnight and before four in the morning, most likely around two in the morning.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Bifang's shack is rainproof!

The wet season is coming in these two days. Since everyone knows this, as a professional survival master, Bifang certainly can't make a low-level mistake.

This is why Bifang had to build a shack for two consecutive nights. If it were in other places, if it wasn't very cold, he would just dig a pit and put a few leaves to spend the night.

Occasionally, a few branch-shaped lightning flashed in the dark sky, illuminating the dark night.

The fire pit was outside the shack and had been extinguished by the heavy rain. Occasionally, green smoke could be seen rising, indicating that Bifang basically woke up when the rain started.

The rain got heavier in a blink of an eye, and the big cold raindrops hit his arms, causing a dull pain.

Under the stimulation of the cold, Bifang lost his sleepiness for a while and turned on the live broadcast again, ready to inform the audience of the arrival of this rain.

Whether from the time point or the amount of rainfall, this rain announced the arrival of the wet season of the northern hemisphere savannah and the recovery of vitality.

For this reason, Bifang felt it was worth broadcasting live to tell the audience.

Fans around the world who were still awake excitedly clicked on the live broadcast.

[Why is it broadcasting again]

[Did something happen? ]

[Ah, such a cute leopard, I want to pet it]

[What sound is that, why is it so dark, it seems to be the sound of rain]

"Yes, it's raining."

Bifang pointed the end of the drone at the sky outside the shack. In the darkness, you can see raindrops falling from the pure black sky, and finally forming water droplets on the lens, just like the glass of a car driving in the rain.

From this perspective, it seems that the whole world is revolving around you.

After observing for a while, Bifang took back the drone and simply wiped the lens.

"Many tourists ask what season is the best to go to Africa. There is no standard answer to this question. The key lies in what you need to get from this trip and what you want to see."

"Generally speaking, the dry season is the best season for travel, especially for tourists. There is a lack of water in the dry season, and animals have to gather around the few water sources. At this time, you can easily find them. You can see them in groups, interacting, and hunting."

"And the roads are easy to walk in the dry season, while in the rainy season, the roads may be interrupted by rain and impassable."

"But the rainy season also has very obvious characteristics, because it is on the equator, and the winter here is also It's not cold. As long as there is water, there will be a lot of life. "

"Therefore, Africa's rainy season is full of vitality, flowers and plants bloom, and the shrubs that dried up in the dry season sprout again."

"In addition, the rainy season is also the best season for bird watching in the year. The best thing is that the rainy season here is actually more accurately called the wet season. It is different from the extreme humidity in the rainforest. It is not always rainy. Usually it rains in the morning and evening, but it is sunny at noon. So I usually say wet season, not rainy season. "

"For people who don't have enough money, the rainy season is a good choice, because this time is basically the most affordable season for travel throughout the year. "

Bifang's words sounded like talking to himself, but with the environment, it gave people a very quiet atmosphere.

It was as if he had brought many viewers in front of the screen to the wilderness, listening to the raindrops outside the shack falling on the leaves, and finally falling on the ground along the tips of the leaves, moistening the dry soil, and finally being absorbed by the seeds blown from somewhere.

It won't be long before a large number of plants can be seen pushing the soil and blooming on this yellow land.

Such natural tranquility is not an illusion.

Animals are also prone to getting sick when they are wet by the rain, so no creatures will come out at this time, and insects will not make chirps. It is naturally quiet and full of security, and there is no need to worry about whether any dangerous animals will come out from somewhere.

Perhaps it was too comfortable. In such an environment, Bifang didn't speak for dozens of minutes, but the number of people in the live broadcast room kept increasing, and very few people left.

Until someone responded.

[Wait, is the great migration of animals about to begin? ]

[Yes, didn't Fang Shen say before that the animals would migrate back? ]

[Oh my, can I see wildebeests? 】

Bifang nodded: "Yes, the arrival of the wet season also indicates that the animals are coming back. Then we can see groups of animals running on the grassland. Maybe we can see some pioneers tomorrow."

Animals have no weather forecast to look at. Whether to return or not is basically based on the "feeling" passed down from generation to generation.

If you feel that the wet season is about to come, go back.

In terms of time, it is not much different. Some pioneers will even rush back before the wet season comes.

"Okay, I just remembered to open this live broadcast temporarily. The main reason is that this rain is of great significance and symbolizes different things. It's too early. I plan to catch up on some sleep, so let's stop here."

This evening rain was just an episode. After the live broadcast, Bifang was ready to go offline again, but was strongly rejected by the audience.

【No, Fangshen, just keep it like this】

【Yes, yes, what a nice rain sound, just as white noise】

【Indeed, just listening to this sound makes me feel very comfortable】

Who can refuse to listen to the rain in nature?

Especially without stepping on the muddy ground, without rushing to do things, just stay at home and listen quietly.

Thinking of this, Bifang had to admit that he was persuaded by everyone, so he no longer insisted on turning off the live broadcast, turned on the drone, and adjusted a suitable angle.

Half of it was the roof of the shack, and half of it was the deep sky. In the middle was the drizzle that could not be seen but could be heard. In the distance was the extinguished fire pit, and several black charcoal woods supported each other. In the lower right corner of the picture, you can still see a beige backpack and half of Harley's head.

[Like! ]

[This composition is something]

[Very comfortable]

The next morning, I don’t know if it was because of a nap, Bifang found that he got up late. The sun had risen, the surroundings became brighter, and the rain had stopped long ago, but a layer of thick fog rose from the ground.

The thick fog spread on the grassland, and for a while, Bifang gave up the idea of ​​rushing on the road immediately, ready to wait for the fog to recede, or dissipate a little before setting off.

It won't take long. When the sun rises higher, it will be almost 90 o'clock.

But breakfast still needs to be solved.

After a simple wash and hygiene, he sucked the big cat hard and woke Harley.

The audience in the live broadcast room also entered one after another. After Bifang greeted him, he started today's work.

He grabbed the backpack and took out Jerry, who was still sleeping and limp. He took out the last ostrich egg, then collected the dead branches and leaves under Harley and started a fire again.

A heavy rain soaked all the nearby plants. It was not easy to find branches that were easy to light. For this reason, it was better to use the ones in the shack directly. Anyway, we had to leave today, and these things could not be taken away.

For the last ostrich egg, Bifang no longer chose to roast it, but prepared to make fried eggs for a different taste.

A heavy rain made the air look brand new. Bifang also found a stone slab washed clean by rain nearby, washed it a little, and then put it on the fire.

After the whole stone slab was heated, the ostrich egg was cracked and the egg liquid was poured out.

Due to the high temperature, the egg liquid did not stick to the stone slab at all, and it turned over smoothly under the prodding of the branch.

Bifang also did a little popular science.

"The Leidenfrost effect was first discovered by a Dutch botanist named Hermann in 1732."

"Later, in 1756, a German doctor named Leidenfrost explored this issue in more depth, so this effect was later called the Leidenfrost effect."

"The general meaning of this effect is that if there is a liquid with a boiling point, such as water, which is generally 100 degrees under standard atmospheric pressure, if this liquid comes into contact with an object with a temperature far exceeding the boiling point, for example, the temperature of this object is 400 degrees, then the part of the liquid that first comes into contact with this object will boil, but the boiling will be stopped soon."

"Because this part of the liquid will turn into steam due to the instantaneous high temperature, this steam will isolate the upper layer of liquid from the high-temperature object, forming a good insulation effect."

"That's why when you heat up a common iron pan and dry-cook it, then break a raw egg into it and it won't stick to the pan."

After saying that, Bi Fang turned the ostrich egg over.

[Another small detail]

[I would like to call Fang Shen the understanding brother of the new era (dog head)]

[No wonder my super eggs stick to the pan every time]

【Tips for cooking belong to you】

Under the action of high temperature, the protein is rapidly denatured, and the transparent egg liquid turns into milky white, light yellow with a golden luster, and a faint fishy smell wafts away, but it quickly disappears.

Looking at this different method, Bi Fang, who had eaten baked eggs for two days, opened his index fingers, but before that, he had not forgotten his two friends.

Bi Fang inserted the ostrich eggs on the stone slab with a branch and placed them in front of Harley. For this cheetah, this was the first time he tried something new. He smelled it for a long time before he dared to take a bite, and started to eat it bit by bit.

"And yours."

Bifang tore off a piece and handed it to Jerry who came out of the backpack smelling the smell.

After dividing them one by one, it was your turn at the end.

"It's a pity that there is no salt, it always feels like it's missing a bit of flavor."

After breakfast, Bi Fang felt a little unfinished.

Salt is the first of all tastes, and the difference between having it and not having it is really two different things.

"Let's try to see if we can find mineral salt. If you really don't want to find some prey, it's okay."

Eggs have no taste at all, but meat is different. Animal meat contains salt that they have accumulated from nature. Although it is very bland to humans, it is still better than nothing.

Must get some meat.

Bi Fang secretly made up his mind and began to pack up the camp, dismantling the shacks and bringing wooden spears. Next, he filled in the fire pit and cleaned up the traces around it. After doing this, the fog dissipated a lot, at least it was not easy in the direction. Something went wrong, and Bicong took Harley on the road.

It rained last night, making the surrounding environment very muddy, and it was covered with mud after just a few steps.

The soles of the shoes had been wet, leaving a pit with a little muddy water swirling in it. Occasionally, unlucky mosquitoes would fall into it and struggle incessantly.

If he were in the city, this would definitely not be a good thing, as his shoes would be dirty for nothing, but in the wild, Bi Fang didn't think so. He squatted down, looked at the marks in the grass, and smiled.

"The ground was too hard before and some small animals couldn't leave footprints, but it's different now. You can't escape even if you want to."

Among the few dry weeds, small road marks revealed the whereabouts of animals that had recently passed by.
