Then, the viewers in the live stream split into three factions: one faction thought Sang Ning could succeed, and the other faction thought she couldn't succeed.
There is another faction that remains neutral and does not participate in the disputes or bets between the two factions.
Indeed, following the two responsible persons, the viewers in the live broadcast room also started making bets.
Sang Ning continued explaining her plans to Mu Tao, "The human body can't live without salt, and the little bit of salt you have won't last for more than a few days, so we have to make our own salt..."
"Salt can be made?"
In an era where cutting-edge technologies are constantly emerging, traditional salt-making methods have long since faded into history. Furthermore, given the diversity of intelligent life forms and the fact that not every type of intelligent life requires salt, the salt industry has received relatively little attention.
If all intelligent life were combined, it's likely that only those with specialized knowledge of salt would understand how it's made into a finished product; most intelligent life forms wouldn't know how salt is formed.
Mu Tao was also in the group that was unaware of this.
So he was surprised to hear Sang Ning speak, and was also full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge about salt making, "How is it made? Is it the same as making food?"
"···"
What was she supposed to say?
After a few seconds of thought, she spoke slowly and deliberately, “The simplest traditional salt-making method is sun-drying, which requires seven steps: first, building the salt flats, preparing the salt flats, collecting the tide, making brine, measuring the brine, crystallizing, and collecting and storing the salt.”
"It sounds complicated."
"It's complicated, and it will take time."
"So, how was Jiantan built?"
So, Sang Ning explained in detail the seven steps of salt production.
Mu Tao listened with great interest, and the viewers in the live stream were equally engrossed.
But as she finished speaking, some viewers couldn't help but raise questions, feeling that Sang Ning's seven steps for salt drying were all made up.
How could someone from a poor planet or a primitive race possibly know about salt-making methods that even professionals don't?
As soon as this questioning comment appeared, the viewers who had been listening with great interest and thought it made sense suddenly realized, "Yes, how would Sang Ning know?"
There were too many questioning comments in the live chat, and people were even calling on the person in charge to inquire about Sang Ning.
Then, Sang Ning heard the voice of the person in charge again.
Upon hearing the audience's doubts, Sang Ning smiled and said, "How would I know that the salt-making method benefited from the ancient books I read when I was a child..."
"What ancient book?"
Manager Luo became interested and couldn't wait to ask.
The audience perked up their ears, and so did Mu Tao.
Sang Ning did not answer directly, but said, "Planet E72 has been poor for too many years, and it is separated from the central star by a full five star regions. In addition, the fact that humanity has been in the interstellar age for so long has caused many people to forget that Planet E72 is the origin of human civilization and the mother planet of mankind."
At this point, she calmly said, "Those who say I'm lying, go and read the first volume of human interstellar history, and you will get the answers you want."
"!!!"
Big news! Is E72 actually humanity's home planet, Earth?
Sanning...
No, this news is too shocking. Let them calm down with some devilishly flavored nutrient solution first.
Mu Tao opened her mouth and said foolishly, "I remember the first chapter of the history of interstellar civilization. Humanity was able to successfully connect with advanced civilizations and enter the interstellar age because of twelve pioneers."
"If my memory serves me right, one of these twelve pioneers shares your surname."
Then, he cautiously asked Sang Ning, "Is there any relationship between you and Sang Jinxing?"
Sang Ning hummed in agreement, "It was my ancestor."
"Ancient books..."
"The ancient books are long gone."
Sang Ning knew what the person in charge wanted to ask, and bluntly gave everyone an answer that disappointed them.
"But my father told me about the contents of the ancient books."
"To be honest, I used to fall asleep listening to ancient books when I was a child."
There were no ancient books, of course; they were all lies. But she wasn't lying about the fact that planet E72 was humanity's home planet, the Blue Planet; it was an undeniable truth.
Sang Jinxing is the ancestor of this body, and that is an undeniable fact.
They are still direct descendants of the same lineage.
Upon hearing this, Manager Luo fell silent, as did the audience members who had gone to check the information.
They truly did not know that E72, a planet renowned among all intelligent life for its poverty and backwardness, was actually the origin and home planet of human civilization.
They look down on the primitive people of Sannin, who believe that living is a waste of air and pollutes the land, and are descendants of one of the pioneers who propelled human civilization into the interstellar age.
This matter...
Well, it was pretty awkward.
But this awkward feeling didn't last long. Soon, another viewer sent a comment asking the person in charge to tell Sang Ning that he was looking forward to the success of her salt-drying method.
Sang Ning's response was a simple thank you.
In the following time, no one picked a fight anymore, and Sang Ning and Mu Tao's conversation became more and more harmonious.
until--
"No Monaine."
Mu Tao said seriously, "Ningning, we can find other players to team up with, but Mo Nainai is the only one who can't be. Her personality is really too difficult to deal with."
"oh."
Sang Ning nodded. "Let's talk about it when we meet the contestants. I should rest now. I need to get up early tomorrow; there's still a lot to do."
"Okay."
Mu Tao readily agreed, and then lay down on the large fern leaf on the left.
Sang Ning was to his right. The two leaf beds were quite far apart, more than a meter apart, with a large fire in between. In addition, the live streaming device was on most of the time, except for certain situations where it would automatically go black.
In this situation, Sang Ning has absolutely no need to worry about anything happening between a lone man and a lone woman.
The next morning, Sang Ning woke up Mu Tao, who was sleeping soundly with his head sprawled out, and handed him a willow branch. "Hurry up and brush your teeth, wash your face, eat breakfast, and go to work."
"oh."
Mu Tao hadn't fully woken up yet. He dazedly took the willow branch and put it in his mouth, but then realized something was wrong and instantly came to his senses. When he saw the willow branch in his hand, he was almost dumbfounded.
Looking up at Sang Ning, I saw her poking a willow twig in her mouth, her lips and teeth blackened, almost as black as charcoal.
"Hey (▔, ▔) Ning, Ningning, what happened to your mouth?"
"brush teeth."
Sang Ning reached out and handed him a bamboo tube filled with charcoal powder. "Take a willow twig, chew one end until it's all fuzzy, then dip it in the charcoal powder and you can brush your teeth. It's definitely not as effective as professional toiletries, but it's better than not brushing at all."
That makes sense.
Mu Tao readily accepted this arrangement, and then he brushed his teeth as Sang Ning had instructed.
Then, he made a face and felt that breakfast was no longer delicious.
After finishing his breakfast without tasting anything, he felt a strange sensation in his mouth. He rinsed his mouth with several mouthfuls of cool boiled water from the bamboo tube before he felt much better.
"Brushing your teeth with charcoal is so uncomfortable."
"It's quite uncomfortable."
Sang Ning nodded, "Let's go look for the materials to make tooth powder later."
