Nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up.
Qianyue implemented this sentence very well in the live broadcast room.
Before Fan Chuyun could even think of what kind of comment to encourage the anchor, he and the other two hundred or so friends who were still awake witnessed how Qianyue gave up the idea of becoming a commentator in a second.
The woman in the video was clearly talking about mud one second, and then suddenly sighed the next, "Forget it, being a streamer is too troublesome. I'd better do whatever makes me feel comfortable."
After saying that, she took out her raincoat and wrapped it around herself, then crawled into the tent and found a comfortable position.
Lie down.
"Eijuku:???"
"Sleepy: What's going on?"
"Sasa: You said you'd take us to build houses, dig wells, and find food, and this is all you've got? Just this? You big asshole!"
"Jinju: This is hilarious. It's only been ten minutes since she started explaining, right?"
"A Bowl of Soup: Today's Quote: Nothing is difficult in this world as long as you are willing to give up."
"A ball of white: So you're planning to let yourself go 2333?"
"Hou Li: I thought she would at least hold out a little longer, at least until I finished taking notes!!!"
"Ten pounds of shrimp dumplings: Ha, woman."
"Here comes good luck: I clicked in because I saw someone was doing an event. I thought it was going to be something big, but I ended up lying down right after entering... a little disappointed."
Seeing this, many people in the barrage thought that Qianyue had given up struggling and ran to rest. For a while, the number of people in the live broadcast room dropped frequently, and only a few people who had been watching her live broadcast still persevered in the room.
A minute later, Qianyue sat up straight again. She opened her eyes calmly, not even a hint of sleepiness visible.
In fact, she was just testing the effectiveness of the reed mat.
Although Qianyue really wanted to rest, she was more reluctant to work in the scorching heat during the day. Therefore, she could only work harder at night.
She glanced at the reed mats on either side.
“The wind resistance is pretty good.”
"Although it's not cold-resistant, it's okay to make do with it."
After muttering to herself for a while, Qianyue picked up the flashlight and walked out.
As it turned out, after she decisively gave up explaining to the audience, Qianyue's work efficiency instantly improved a lot.
Now she has to solve the problem of drinking water.
Although Qianyue got two new backpacks during the daytime fight, it was only when she counted the supplies that she realized that the other party was almost broke and only had the backpacks left - no wonder they suddenly set their sights on others_(:з」∠)_
In short, including what she found in the backpacks of the two people, Qianyue currently has two and a half bottles of mineral water and four empty bottles.
Two and a half bottles of water are not too much, but not too little either. If you only consider maintaining life and ignore other factors, it will not be a problem to use these bottles of water to survive for another three or four days.
But Qianyue had to consider another point: she was still carrying a camera, which could put her in danger at any time. To be on the safe side, Qianyue still hoped to maintain a relatively healthy state as much as possible.
This meant she had to prepare more food and water.
In fact, Qianyue had already fetched water from the lake when they set up camp during the day.
But unfortunately, the water cannot be drunk directly.
Not to mention that this lake is a stagnant lake, its salt content is definitely much higher than that of an ordinary freshwater lake.
On the other hand, raw water contains a large amount of impurities and parasites. If you drink it rashly, it can easily cause various diseases and may even cause electrolyte imbalance in the body, leading to dehydration.
The correct way is to filter and boil them before drinking.
But if you want to do that, you have to find firewood to make a fire first - this is a common practice in the valley, you just need to be careful to distinguish between dry firewood and wet firewood.
But in the desert, it's not easy to find firewood. Wet firewood like cactus and Achnatherum splendens won't burn properly and will only make you cough.
The most important thing is: Qianyue only has a box of matches that can be called a fire. This box of matches can only be used twenty times. If you add in the 40% failure rate, there are only a few matches that can actually be used.
There are still seven full days left, and Qianyue doesn't want to use up all the fire so soon.
Besides, why did she have to make a fire when she was sure she could get water by other means?
The valley has its own way, and the desert has its own way.
The strong sunlight causes the water in the air to evaporate many times faster than in other places. Qianyue plans to use this to collect distilled water.
During the day, when she was strolling around the lake, she had already found several locations and marked them one by one. Now she just needed to go there with a flashlight and start digging.
The sand is loose and one shovelful will take up a large piece.
The flashlight was placed on the ground, so the audience could only see the shovel sinking into the sand. In just a few minutes, Qianyue had dug a shallow pit. She twisted the soil with her hands and poured the bottle of water she had brought from the lake into the pit.
The speed was fast, but the audience was really confused.
"Nangong Chenfeng: Are you planning to dig a well?"
"Su Zixun: Digging a well is troublesome, so it shouldn't be possible, right?"
"Fujiomi: No, you're all so sure the host is looking for water? But isn't there a lake nearby? Why bother looking for water?"
"Kristen: Because you can't drink it directly. Besides, it's a stagnant lake, so who knows how dirty it is. It's the same reason you can't drink water straight from the tap."
"Shui Yan: I guess the host wants to make a solar distiller. I've seen this in other livestreams."
"Moon Under the Sun: Solar Still, that thing actually works pretty slowly."
"Lanlantan: It's true that the effects are slow. I saw it in the live broadcast room next door. The anchor waited all night, but in the end, he only had enough for two or three sips."
Solar stills are the most common method of collecting water in the desert, so it's not surprising that viewers have seen them in other live broadcast rooms.
"Popeye's can of spinach: But why did the host pour water into the pit? This seems different from what I've seen in other live broadcast rooms."
"Kensui: I saw her touching the pit before adding water. Could this be related to this?"
Although Qianyue did not give a clear explanation, the guesses in the comments were pretty close.
She twisted the soil to confirm its moisture, and added water because she felt the soil was not moist enough, so she simply poured in the raw water collected from the lake, so that she could collect more distilled water.
As for why other live broadcast rooms don’t have it, I’m afraid it’s just because there is no lake around them_(:з」∠)_
After cleaning the pit, Qianyue took out the empty bottle she had prepared earlier from her backpack. She split the bottle in half and placed the top half upside down inside the bottle, forming a funnel to more easily collect the condensed water.
The next thing that came in handy was the plastic bag Qianyue had bought before the game started. She used the edge of her shovel to split the bag open and spread it over the pit.
Finally, place a stone directly above the bottle so that the plastic bag is slightly concave toward the bottle, allowing the distilled water to drip into the bottle along the concave surface. The entire distiller is almost complete.
At the same time, since the entire distiller is completed at night, it can also collect dew when day and night change.
But this alone is obviously not enough.
Qianyue first went to the lake to wash off the mud and sand on the shovel, and then carried her shovel to the cactus forest next to it.
Ten minutes later, Qianyue returned to the camp carrying a cactus that was over a meter long. She spent quite a bit of time shaving off all the thorns.
Of course, she collected all the thorns, and maybe they would come in handy someday.
At this time, the time in the game has reached 00:40:23, and it is approaching late at night in reality. The number of people in the live broadcast room is getting smaller and smaller, and only a few people are still active.
"The short swords are all little angels: What is this for? Is it for Hulu as rations?"
However, after waiting for several seconds, no one answered him, so he had to continue reading.
Qianyue is dissecting a cactus.
Because Qianyue didn't have a knife in her hand, she still used the shovel to cut the cactus.
Although the surface of the cactus is very rough, the "flesh" inside is the water reservoir of the entire plant. After the shovel was inserted, a trace of water quickly seeped out from the wound.
The cactus Qianyue had chosen was very thick. She carefully cut off a piece, then used a shovel to peel off the surface of the fruit, leaving only the tender green flesh, and placed it in the [Advanced Bandage] she had prepared long ago.
[Advanced Bandage] is an item that Qianyue had won in a lottery before. Unlike ordinary bandages, it can be disassembled and used as gauze.
"Carefully blend the makeup: I understand, are you planning to squeeze the juice?"
Almost at the same moment the barrage of comments came out, Qianyue took out an empty water bottle and placed it on the ground, then grabbed the gauze and began to twist it.
“Shua La La——”
The fragrant juice flowed into the bottle along the gauze and soon the bottom of the bottle was gone.
Hu Lu was awakened by the sound of water. He turned over on the ground and tilted his head towards this side. Qian Yue put the squeezed fruit pulp to his mouth.
Snore: "Baji, baji."
Qianyue laughed and continued to squeeze the juice.
Although this method is fast, it is more physically demanding.
At the same time, because the water finally collected is not pure distilled water, it cannot be stored for too long in the high temperature weather in the desert.
After eating a few pieces, Hulu simply stopped sleeping and lay beside her, waiting to be fed.
If Hu Lu didn't bark, she would almost think she had a dog.
But she didn't know if it was Qianyue's illusion, she always felt that the snoring seemed to be louder than during the day.
Qianyue pondered: "Is it because I ate too much these past two days?"
Considering that Snore seemed to be eating all day long, Qianyue felt that it was possible.
But then again, in addition to the fruit of the cactus, humans can also eat the pulp of this cactus.
But that feeling is like eating raw cucumbers and carrots, not everyone can accept it.
The food in Qianyue's bag is barely enough now, so she doesn't plan to force herself to eat the cactus raw for the time being.
What's more, she now has a camel. If the master and the pet eat cactus raw together... it always feels weird.
