"Although I admit that Chen Fan is indeed very strong and has excellent wilderness survival skills, I remember that he did not choose any fire-making tools when he came to the island. Trying to start a fire by friction in this icy and snowy place is probably not easy."
“What the person upstairs said makes a lot of sense. That’s also what I’m worried about. After all, that’s the Arctic, not a dry island. Making a fire by friction there is indeed not easy. It really tests your skills and personal abilities.”
...
While everyone marveled at Chen Fan's survival skills, they also had some concerns about his ability to start a fire by rubbing sticks together.
After all, in a cold region like the Arctic, you simply cannot survive without a fire to keep warm or cook food, no matter how strong your wilderness survival skills are.
It's worth noting that even a survival expert as skilled as Bear Grylls includes a fire starter in his survival tools.
Moreover, in most people's minds, it is extremely difficult to start a fire in a place like the Arctic, where everything is covered in ice and snow.
...
Moreover, on the island, Chen Fan had already retreated into his shelter.
The next step was to start making fire by friction.
By this time, he had gathered all the tools, drill rods and drill plates were ready, and there were also some pine needles and dry ignition materials.
Although the Arctic region is very cold, it is not the damp cold type, so even under the ice and snow cover, you can still find some dry kindling.
The filming equipment prepared by the production team this time was extremely advanced, so when Chen Fan went into the shelter, the camera followed him in as well.
At this moment, the viewers in the live stream started laughing again.
Some viewers inevitably took advantage of the situation to kick someone when they were down.
"Weren't you all just praising Chen Fan's strong survival skills? I'd like to see how he'll start a fire without a flint and steel?"
"I'm also very curious whether it's possible to successfully start a fire by friction in this freezing cold place..."
"If he can't even light a fire, then all his previous efforts and performance will be in vain, because without a fire, he is destined not to survive in the Arctic."
...
Although many viewers who like Chen Fan are somewhat disgusted by these people's remarks.
However, it must be admitted that what they said is indeed true.
The temperature in the Arctic is so low that it would be absolutely impossible to survive for 60 days without a fire.
Even someone as strong as Chen Fan could never do that.
Just then, Chen Fan began to start a fire by rubbing sticks together.
This time, he did not choose to use a bow drill to start a fire.
With his current physical condition and stamina, he could easily start a fire by rubbing sticks together with his hands.
After making preparations, Su Bei rubbed his hands together and began to exert force quickly.
High-speed drill pipes produce afterimages.
The audience was stunned, and some even wondered if Chen Fan had been single for 18 years to develop such hand speed.
Because the speed at which he rubbed his hands together was so fast that they felt they couldn't keep up with it with the naked eye.
Three minutes later, thick black smoke began to rise from the drill plate.
Seven or eight minutes later, the thick black smoke grew even denser, filling the entire shelter with smoke.
Within those black wood shavings, one could already see some starlight...
"Alright, all done easily."
Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he finally saw sparks in the sawdust.
Although it was a few minutes later than expected, it only took ten minutes in total, so it was no big deal!
After placing the wood shavings carrying sparks into the tinder, Chen Fan gently began to shake the tinder.
The smoke was getting thicker and thicker.
puff……
The next second, the ignition source was instantly ignited, and a raging fire broke out.
Chen Fan quickly piled up the dry firewood he had prepared beforehand.
At this moment, the viewers in the live broadcast room were completely stunned.
"Wang Defa?? This guy actually succeeded in starting a fire by rubbing sticks together, and it only took him less than ten minutes..."
"Oh shit, this guy is too strong! Even Ed Stafford couldn't do it, but he did it in no time."
“I just came from Lord De’s place. Lord De has now become a fire worshipper.”
"This is the strength of our Dragon Kingdom's contestants. Open your dog eyes and take a good look. Didn't some people say that it's difficult to start a fire by rubbing sticks together? This is something anyone with hands can do."
"Where have all those bastards who were just mocking gone?"
...
The moment the fire was successfully started by rubbing sticks together, most of the viewers in the live stream erupted in excitement.
Especially some viewers who had just come from Deye's live stream, after witnessing Deye's several mishaps, admired Chen Fan's survival skills even more.
Ed had tried to start a fire by rubbing sticks together several times, but all attempts ended in failure.
Chen Fan, however, finished in less than ten minutes, making the difference in quality immediately apparent.
Viewers who like Chen Fan can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Those spectators who were shouting earlier have now chosen to go offline.
After all, if we continued talking like that, it would be like offering our face to be slapped...
After discovering the invention of fire by friction in Chengdu, Chen Fan began cooking.
Since today is the first day after arriving on the island, the craving for nutrition and protein is not yet so urgent.
So Chen Fan chose to roast the grouse and eat it.
After all, roasted chicken tastes much better than boiled chicken.
Simply sprinkle some salt provided by the production team on top, and it's ready to eat.
...
Half an hour later, the grouse was sizzling and dripping with oil, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Not bad, not bad! The progress is even smoother than I expected."
"This roast chicken smells so good! I'll give the first bite to my viewers who like my videos."
"Come on, let me treat you all to chicken today!"
After four hours of live streaming, Chen Fan naturally gained some understanding of live streaming.
They are confident in their own traffic and popularity.
Currently, his live stream should have at least 10 million viewers online at the same time.
Therefore, it is very necessary to build good relationships with these viewers in order to receive gifts and tips from the live stream.
This is a huge income for any streamer, so why not take it?
"Alright, it seems no one likes the roasted grouse, so I'll finish it for you!"
After Chen Fan finished speaking, he tore off a chicken wing and began to eat it with relish.
While eating, they couldn't resist making a few boastful remarks.
"Roasted chicken wings are my favorite food; I can eat seven or eight in one go..."
