Chapter 52 The temperature rises
The sky is cloudless, and in the rolling mountains, a small figure keeps moving forward on the white snow. Occasionally, a cold wind blows by, and flying snowflakes fall on the figure's shoulders.
Bi Fang patted his shoulders, and the snow accumulated on his shoulders fell. The weather was cold enough. Snowflakes would not melt immediately even if they fell on people's faces, let alone their clothes.
After walking continuously in the snow forest for more than an hour, he was a little overwhelmed.
Bi Fang stopped, looked at the sun, and squinted slightly.
From just now, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, as if something big was going to happen.
There are no clouds in the sky, and it is even a little dark. The cold wind is obviously much lighter than yesterday, and even the temperature is not as cold as yesterday. Even if the temperature rises near noon, is this a bit exaggerated?
Hope nothing happens...
Bi Fang prayed inwardly, unzipped his jacket to avoid sweating, and re-judged the direction.
Due to the lack of reference objects, it is very easy to lose direction in the snow forest and desert, so you often need to stop and re-judge.
Otherwise, what you think is going in a straight line is probably going in a circle, because human legs cannot be the same length, so people will turn to one side indefinitely. If they head down and move forward, it will only become a circle, a huge circle.
circle.
"The physical strength that people consume in the snow is several times that on the same land. Not only is it difficult to travel, but also the heat loss caused by the cold. Therefore, we must not do wasted work and must ensure that the direction of progress is correct.
.”
Bi Fang looked back at the mountain range. After walking for so long, its size has not changed at all, as if it has always been there for millions of years, stretching across the sky and the earth, never changing.
It's really like running to death.
Bi Fang glanced at the increasingly dense larch forest, and his anxious heart became excited.
The woods are dense, and many leaves on the canopy are still there, not even yellowing, which proves that he is very close to the water source!
"In the woods, if the trees in a certain place sprout early or wither and turn yellow late, it means that there is either underground water or it is very close to a water source!"
Bi Fang ran quickly down the mountain, and at the same time raised his ears, listening carefully to see if there was any sound of streams or waterfalls nearby.
About a hundred or two hundred meters away, he started to hear some additional sounds...
"Crash."
It's water! Just in front!
Bi Fang's eyes were as bright as stars, and he strode forward quickly. Within a few dozen meters, he saw a glacier!
【What a river!】
[Holy shit, holy shit, is this the boss? Trembling]
[I feel that Fang Shen is really good at finding one direction without wavering, and he can always find what he is looking for]
[This is called self-confidence. If you don’t have any skills, do you really think you can survive in the wilderness? It’s so fake when you put it on the shelf.]
[Lu Wentao: Stop reading my ID card!]
Both sides of the glacier are covered with gray rocks. There is a layer of snow on the top, and the bottom is soaked in water. After repeated melting and frost during the day and night, a thick layer of ice ballast has condensed. Touching it with your hands, not only
It was bitingly cold and extremely smooth.
The entire river flows from northeast to southwest, with a width of only three or four meters, but Bifang estimated that there should be a main trunk in this river. If it could be found, he might be able to find a way out along the river like last time.
You must know that since the founding of the country, a large number of sleepers required for railway construction have been produced in the Greater Khingan Mountains. At the peak of production, three and a half of every ten pieces of wood in the country were produced here.
It can be said that every family cannot do without Daxinganling.
The problem this brings is that after so many years of development in the Xing'an Mountains, except for places very close to the border like Mohe, there are almost no virgin forest resources.
There are artificial forests and secondary forests widely distributed, and there are many forest rangers, so it should be much easier to follow the river this time than before.
[I wiped it, so much? Isn’t it bald? 】
【Mom, Xing'anling is so big.】
[Suddenly I feel that humans are too much...]
Bi Fang walked along the river bank while paying attention to the situation in the river.
There was not much sediment at the bottom of the flowing river, but instead there were rocks, which made his search difficult. This made Bifang a little anxious. He looked up at the sky again, hoping that his previous guess was wrong...
"Fish are different from mammals, amphibians, and reptiles that are completely paralyzed in winter. Fish do not hibernate in the true sense. They just reduce or even stop eating, and their breathing becomes weak. At this time, they usually hide
Between aquatic plants or rock crevices.”
"Although fish do not hibernate, they will still become very 'sluggish'. If we don't have a fishing rod, we can also make a spear. Even if we are inexperienced, we can stab the fish relatively easily."
【It’s so cold, won’t the fish freeze to death?】
[Laughing, how is it possible? According to what you said, doesn’t it mean that there are no fish in the Heilong River and the Yalu River? It couldn’t have been minus ten or twenty degrees in the winter there? 】
"You don't have to worry about this at all. Fish's bodies contain special "antifreeze glycoproteins." Even if it's below zero, their bodies won't freeze. And we generally divide fish into three categories: cold-water, warm-water, and warm-water.
, these three types of fish have different temperature tolerances, like the grass carp and silver carp we often eat are warm water."
Bi Fang held a knife in one hand, and with the other hand, he sharpened one end of the long wooden stick he had picked up before to make a simple spear.
It has to be said that humans are indeed very tool-reliant animals. No matter how sharp flint is, it is far less useful than a knife made by machine processing.
"Fish that can live in high latitudes are generally cold-water fish. They can withstand a low temperature of minus 20°C, but cannot withstand a high temperature of 20°C above zero. They are commonly found in the Heilong River and Yalu River in my country, such as rainbow trout, Dachshund trout, etc. Sturgeon, black-backed loach, and salmon are all cold-water fish.”
【Awesome, awesome, I learned it again.】
【Little Sunflower Daddy has started classes!】
[I like to watch Fang Shen’s live broadcast, not for anything else, just to learn something so I can brag about it with others!]
[I’m amazed upstairs, I thought exactly the same thing. Last time I went camping with my colleagues, I told them how to find the river, and they were all confused. The way they looked at me is still unforgettable!]
[Pete Bupi gives a spaceship*1 to the anchor—like the anchor’s knowledge!]
[Yi Bu Jian presented a yacht to the anchor*1—I learned it, now I’m going to pretend, no, it’s a holy show in front of others!]
Bi Fang also smiles when he watches the lively live broadcast. It is one of his purposes to let everyone learn something during the live broadcast.
"In a flowing river like this, we can look for places with strong currents, such as turns, where fish will stay near the eddies, especially in winter, because of the fluidity of the river, where the oxygen content is the highest, which is very suitable."
Sluggish fish breathing!"
Bi Fang followed the river and finally found a place where the river had a large curvature. He stood on a rock and carefully looked at the situation at the bottom of the river.
Because it is at a corner, sediment has accumulated at the mouth of the river, which is convenient for some small fish and shrimps to hide, and the small fish and shrimps further attract big fish. This is an excellent hunting spot!
