Chapter 55: Make a fire again, can we still get some work done?
Su Yuan was speechless.
Didn’t we agree that there won’t be any accidents?
Zhang Ru was so angry that she laughed: "I'm really convinced!"
Su Yuan shook his head: “Let’s go and take a look first.”
Under the tree house.
Wen Shanshan, Zhu Ting, and Zheng Leyi were holding dried crocodiles and dried pythons, staring blankly at the soaked charcoal not far away.
Seeing Wilson Su coming over, the three of them suddenly panicked.
Zhu Ting and Zheng Leyi didn't dare to look at Su Yuan.
Wen Shanshan said pitifully: "Su Yuan, we...we have been like this since we arrived, believe me!"
Su Yuan looked him up and down, nodded and said, “Well, I don’t blame you.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Shanshan and the other two immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Ru hesitated to speak.
Su Yuan explained:
"This cover I made to protect the charcoal from rain was blown ten meters away by the wind."
"Then you see the broken branch above your head that is still hanging on other branches. Its branches gather the rainwater, forming a water column as thick as a chopstick, which is poured accurately onto the charcoal."
“I can only say that this is a natural disaster.”
"God doesn't want us to have an easy life, so he wants to create some trouble for us and make us start a new fire."
Speaking of this, Su Yuan spread his hands and said:
"In that case, let's just light a new fire. It's no big deal!"
Zhang Ru looked up and down, and said with a smile:
"Indeed, but this is too coincidental!"
"It's God's will, there's nothing we can do about it," Su Yuan said as he was about to climb up the tree house. "You guys send the dried meat over first, I'll clean up here."
Zhang Ru said:
"But we didn't have time to prepare dry firewood and tinder. Everything is wet. It's too difficult to make a fire, right?"
At this time, Su Yuan, who had already climbed into the tree house, picked up two bird nests in his hands, turned around to show them to the four girls, and said:
"There is dry tinder. I already have a backup."
"As for firewood, it has just rained, so the inside of the wood is not wet yet. If you use a knife to cut off the wet surface, won't the inside be dry matches?"
"You guys can send the jerky back over there, and then you can go pick up matches in time."
"But hurry up and don't delay too long!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ru immediately gave a thumbs up.
Just one word: reliable!
Wen Shanshan, Zhu Ting and Zheng Leyi also breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of security from the bottom of their hearts.
Let’s not talk about anything else for now. Just surviving with Su Yuan, the sense of security is absolutely maxed out.
Even if there are any unexpected events or changes, Su Yuan will be able to respond quickly and will not blame or complain about anyone.
This is simply the perfect man!
clap clap clap!
The four girls protected the baked jerky, stepped on the puddles on the ground, and ran quickly towards the new shelter.
Seeing this scene, the barrage of comments immediately burst into praise.
"Dad Su is Dad Su! He is always as reliable as my dad!"
"This wave of favorability is maxed out. I thought Su Yuan would blame Wen Shanshan and the other two without any reason!"
"Su Yuan is not that kind of person. He seemed a little mean before because he was pissed off by Liu Ruyan!"
“I’m more curious about how Su Yuan made a fire now. Now that he doesn’t have a discarded phone, how can he play?”
"How can you play with it? Drilling wood together to make fire. You can also play with it in many ways!"
"That's not necessarily true. Su Yuan always likes to do unexpected things!"
"Then I really don't believe it! There are only a few known ways to make fire. Can Su Yuan create new ones?"
"We'll see!"
In the studio.
The host asked curiously:
"Zhu Wei, how many ways are there to make a fire when surviving in the wild?"
Zhu Wei stretched out his fingers and counted:
"The most classic one is of course the method of drilling wood to make fire. Based on this principle, many other methods can be derived, but they are all essentially the same."
"Then there is solar energy, which is to use the principle of convex mirrors to make fire. This is the second method."
"Then we used flint to make fire. Flint is flint, a relatively common siliceous rock."
"Some methods require the use of specific things, such as batteries, potassium permanganate and sugar, magnesium sticks, etc."
"Generally speaking, there are only these six or seven types."
At this point, Zhu Wei put down his finger and smiled:
"Considering the current supplies of the Excellence Team, we should use the method of drilling wood to make fire. However, given Su Yuan's ability, he should adopt a more time-saving and labor-saving method." The host nodded:
"Well, I hope Su Yuan can light a fire right away, otherwise I'll have to drink unclean water and eat cold jerky tonight."
"Speaking of which, the Vitality Team doesn't have a fire either, and we've prepared tinder and dry wood. I wonder if they've started yet. Let's go check it out!"
Following the host's words, the director cut to the live broadcast.
As luck would have it, Wang Tianqi just came back with food.
Shang Shuping, Chen Xin and Bai Yan immediately gave restrained cheers, as if welcoming the return of a hero.
Wang Tianqi was very pleased with this and put a bag of cassava and half a bag of guava on the ground.
He said, "Eat some guava first, I'll rest for a while and then start making a fire!"
Shang Shuping said:
"We have already collected the rainwater. As long as there is fire, we can start cooking cassava immediately. So don't worry. Take a good rest first. You must be exhausted, right?"
Hearing this, Wang Tianqi was immediately touched.
What are men most afraid of?
I am most afraid of the concern from my sister who is ten years older than me!
In an instant, a warm current flowed through Wang Tianqi's heart.
He scratched his head and smiled: "Hey, I'm not tired!"
Then he immediately started preparing for the fire with great motivation.
Shang Shuping did not stop him when she saw this.
Soon, the tinder and thin sawdust were ready.
Wang Tianqi took a deep breath and said, "OK, I'm starting!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the four girls all looked over.
You know, they suffered a lot in order to make a fire, and Shang Shuping still had traces of broken blisters on her hands.
However, Wang Tianqi is so powerful, it should be easy for him to make a fire, right?
Brush brush!
Wang Tianqi put his hands together and began to rub them, and soon white smoke came out.
Chen Xin couldn't help but whispered: "Come on, come on..."
Bai Yan also held his hands in front of his chest and looked at it nervously.
Shang Shuping was even more considerate and used a thin board she picked up to fan Wang Tianqi to relieve his sweat.
But two minutes later.
With a click, the drill in Wang Tianqi's hand broke!
Wang Tianqi quickly raised the tinder and wood chips that had partially turned black to his mouth and blew them carefully.
Unfortunately, the sparks weren't enough to completely ignite the sawdust.
Although the tinder and wood were prepared in advance and were not exposed to the heavy rain, the air humidity increased rapidly due to the heavy rain, and even the driest wood and sawdust felt a little damp.
The difficulty of making a fire increases sharply.
Wang Tianqi smiled awkwardly:
"Well, don't worry, I'll try another method. The manual method is not efficient enough."
As he spoke, he untied his shoelaces and started making a bow.
ten minutes later.
There was only smoke, no fire.
Wang Tianqi took a few deep breaths to calm his anxious mood and said:
"I really don't believe it! Wait for me a moment!"
As he spoke, he took out a dried, yellowish-brown bamboo pole from the prepared firewood, split it in half vertically with a machete, and then drilled a hole and a horizontal groove on it.
He also scraped off a lot of bamboo chips with a knife.
And just like that, the third attempt began!
Not surprisingly, it still failed.
Under normal circumstances, any of Wang Tianqi’s three attempts would have had a great chance of success.
However, the humidity in the air is too high on rainy days.
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Wang Tianqi.
Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes imperceptibly, as if to say, that's all.
Shang Shuping comforted her, "Don't worry, take your time, we have plenty of time!"
Chen Xin and Bai Yan also spoke up to comfort Wang Tianqi.
This made Wang Tianqi feel much better immediately, and he said he would take a break before continuing.
Upon seeing this, the director immediately turned the camera to the Excellence Group.
Wang Tianqi has done a very good job, but he still failed to make a fire.
So what about Su Yuan?
