Almost the instant he finished speaking, a large, fluffy tail darted out into the frame, then hopped to a cotton plant and leaped up with its forelegs and hind legs, snatching a plump, soft cotton boll in its mouth.
Then, the fluffy thing with cotton in its mouth turned around and ran out of the frame.
"See that? Lots of these big-tailed, furry mice are running out and picking up cotton."
Then, he said seriously, "Ningning, I suggest you hurry up and get some cotton. I've read about mitten rats; they're small animals that are extremely sensitive to temperature changes."
"They like warm nests, so they prepare too many winter supplies in advance every year when the seasons change. Now the hamsters have started to pluck cotton on a large scale. I estimate that the temperature will drop in less than two months."
Sanning, "!!!"
Is this even possible?
She turned to look at Emmanuel and the others. "Is that a saying?"
"That's a common saying."
Emmanuel nodded, then said thoughtfully, "If I remember correctly, the habits of hamsters were taught in second-grade biology class."
Monet and the others nodded eagerly.
So, Sang Ning decisively turned to Fang Jingxiu and asked, "Where are you now?"
"I'll send you my coordinates."
"good."
Then, a group of people gathered around the coordinates sent by Fang Jingxiu and began to calculate the distance. After the calculation was completed, Sang Ning said with a bit of a breakdown, "Is it really necessary for us to make this trip, which is over a thousand kilometers long?"
Driving on foot for thousands of kilometers, not to mention how long it would take to go there and back, they probably wouldn't even arrive until winter came.
Everyone fell silent, not because they didn't covet the cotton, but because the distance was too great.
Of course, with a hovercar, a journey of thousands of kilometers would only take ten minutes or so, but if you were to walk, the distance would be really far.
[This is too difficult. I feel like Sang Ning and the others are having a really tough time.]
[It's difficult. They finally found out where the cotton was, only to discover it was over a thousand kilometers away. Just thinking about it from their perspective makes me feel hopeless for Sang Ning and the others.]
[The TV show production team is inhumane! Why don't they provide them with transportation? It would be so much better if they had a flying car.]
[A speeding car isn't good enough for Sang Ning and the others. You should have the production team equip them with a small starship. That thing is much faster; it can cover a distance of over a thousand kilometers in just two minutes. They won't even have time to warm their seats before they arrive. How great would that be?]
[Upstairs, you can say whatever you want, but stop with the sarcastic remarks. Can't I even have a chance to think?]
[It's allowed, but you need to understand what kind of program "Survival on a Desert Planet" is. If the production team provides this and that, the entire program loses its meaning of survival on a desert planet.]
[Quiet down, Sang Ning and the others have started discussing the possibility of taking the sea route.]
By sea?
The audience got excited and all looked toward Sang Ning and his group, only to find them, along with a monkey head mushroom, squatting in the living room watching Emmanuel draw a map.
He was drawing with charcoal pencil, and Sang Ning looked at it from different angles, trying to make sense of it.
"The distance has been reduced by half."
"Um."
Elliott nodded. "It is indeed much shorter, but the risks are higher than going by land."
That's the truth.
They face the same risks when traveling by land, because you don't know what wild animals or beasts you might encounter on the way.
Even on a desolate planet where rabbits possess astonishing fighting prowess, one might encounter all sorts of strange and unusual things.
For a specific example, you can refer to the scene where Clyde was surrounded and attacked by rabbits.
The risks of traveling by sea are only higher. Waves, tsunamis, and other natural risks are beyond human control, and the risk levels are not low.
The key issue is that their strength is limited when traveling by sea. No matter how powerful or skilled a swimmer is, they cannot fight at sea for an extended period of time.
If they encounter risks while traveling by land, they can easily overcome them, since they are all quite strong and could even put up a fight against giant beetles.
The ideal choice would definitely be to travel by land, but the land route is simply too far.
Left with no other option, they had to consider the possibility of taking the sea route.
"It would be so nice to have a car."
Monet couldn't help but sigh, while Sang Ning stroked his chin and said, "I do know of a mode of transportation that will most likely also be manually operated..."
What mode of transportation?
Before she could finish speaking, Mo Nainai and the others couldn't wait to ask.
Even Emmanuel, who was drawing the map, looked up.
Sang Ning, who was the center of attention, was embarrassed. "Bicycles and handcarts."
"I saw that there are rubber trees in the mountains and forests, and the rubber can be harvested to make rubber products, but I don't know how."
"A cart can be made with oxen or horses..."
When horses were mentioned, her eyes lit up instantly. "That's right! We can go find wild horses. Finding wild horses means we'll have a means of transportation."
"but,"
Looking at the crowd, she asked, "Have you ever seen a horse before?"
"I've never seen it."
There are no horses here.
Philoia shattered her illusions, "Even if it exists, are you sure a horse would be effective?"
"Horses are definitely useful, and they're quite fast."
Mu Tao then asked, "What is the horse's top speed?"
Sang Ning thought for a moment, "I read in ancient books that a thoroughbred can reach a top speed of about 70 or 80 kilometers per hour."
"We need to go full speed, and we can't keep it up for long."
"Not very fast."
Clyde said, "We can run at that speed too."
"Faster than this."
Sanning, "···"
"Is your endurance up to par? How long can you maintain full speed? How long will it take to finish the run?"
Mu Tao and the others couldn't answer this question.
Emmanuel and Elliott came up.
Elliott said, "I can run at full speed for two hours straight, but I need to rest for at least forty minutes in return."
"This is under the condition that there is enough food to replenish the body's required nutrients and water. If these two conditions cannot be met, the rest time needs to be doubled."
Emmanuel: "I'm about the same as Ollie."
“My name isn’t Ollie, it’s Elliott.”
Elliott corrected him again, but no one paid any attention to him. Suning rubbed his fingers thoughtfully and said, "The endurance is good, and the stamina is also good, but it still won't work. Running like this is too exhausting."
"Wild Horse..."
"Please, please stop thinking about the Mustang, okay?"
"We don't know where wild horses are, nor do we know how to tame them. We'll get kicked to death," said Fimmonloa helplessly.
"Did you know that horses are creatures that can fight even monkey head mushrooms?"
Sang Ning really didn't know this. She asked in surprise, "A wild horse can beat a monkey head mushroom?"
You must be joking.
There's no denying the wild horse's powerful kicks; it can kick and stomp on people, causing injury. But the monkey head mushroom...
Looking at the size of the monkey head mushroom, Sang Ning simply couldn't imagine how ferocious the wild horse that could fight the monkey head mushroom must be.
