Chapter 254 Camel Poop
Chu Qiao placed his water bottle in the hole and fixed it with stones. Chu Qiao covered the perimeter of the hole with the plastic sheet he had picked up and pressed it down with stones. The middle of the plastic sheet was lower, so Chu Qiao placed a large stone in the center of the plastic sheet.
[Master Chu, is this possible? ]
【Why do I feel like this is a fairy tale?】
[If you can make water like this, I'll call you uncle.]
[Hurry up and shout upstairs, shout immediately, Master Chu has never failed before.]
Chu Qiao wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Although this is the Gobi Desert and very dry, judging by the sparse vegetation growing on the surface, it's not completely devoid of moisture. Plus, the temperature difference between day and night is so large here that moisture vapor will rise from the ground during the day."
"The water vapor attached to the plastic bag will turn into liquid and drip into the kettle I prepared."
[Oh my god, is this true?]
【We'll know tomorrow morning.】
After Chu Qiao prepared the water storage equipment, he marked the surrounding area and walked towards the back, hoping to find something useful.
After walking about 5 kilometers, Chu Qiao suddenly stopped. She pricked up her ears, carefully distinguishing the sounds around her. She heard heavy breathing coming from the side.
Fans who are familiar with Mr. Chu know that as long as Chu Qiao's ears move, there must be some sound around him!
As expected, he walked out of the bridge and headed southwest with his head tilted. The further he walked, the clearer the sound became.
I heard it.
[This sound is like a painful one! This is the sound my sheep make when they are killed by wolves.]
[Are there any beasts fighting ahead?]
Netizens looked worried, but Chu Qiao looked excited.
She was delighted to encounter an animal, even a bug, in the Gobi Desert where food was hard to find.
As the noise grew louder, strange dragging marks appeared on the ground.
Judging from the traces, it's a big guy!
The yellow sand in front merges with the yellow rocks.
Chu Qiao's eyes narrowed, and a yellow camel was hiding beside the rock.
It lay there on its side, making a wheezing sound from its mouth!
Its head drooped on the rock. Perhaps because it had struggled so hard, all the hair around its eyes had fallen off.
Chu Qiao opened the camel's mouth and judging from the few teeth left in it, the camel was very old!
There are black bells hanging around the camels' necks, marking the caravan.
Chu Qiao said that an experienced team would not abandon a dying camel in the desert. If they really couldn't bring the camel back, they would kill it and remove its stomach!
No way, that's so cruel.
[This is a death without a complete body. 】
[How pitiful.]
[However, this camel was not killed. What happened? ]
Chu Qiao couldn't think of a reason and could only guess, "Perhaps someone sold this old camel, but it couldn't survive the Gobi Desert. The buyer must be inexperienced, otherwise they wouldn't have bought such an old camel."
[We can't just leave it here.]
【How cruel. 】
In the Gobi Desert, camels are more than just transportation. They are also human safety deposit boxes, helping humans withstand many risks, such as sandstorms, extreme hunger, and water!
Chu Qiao held on to the last glimmer of hope. She wanted to save the camel. There was a camel in the Gobi Desert, which would save her a lot of energy. However, while checking the camel's physical condition, Chu Qiao shook her head and her face became worse and worse.
[Master Chu, is there still hope? ]
What happened?
Chu Qiao shook his head: "This camel has completely lost its ability to recover. It can only wait here for death. I don't think it will survive tonight."
While netizens were still feeling sorry for Luotuo, Chu Qiao walked behind Luotuo without saying a word.
The camera swept past the back of the camel, and the netizen who was eating almost vomited. There were round brown things behind the camel, most of which were dried up, and some were still moist. The fans who followed Chu Qiao all the way immediately realized that this was camel feces.
Flies, mosquitoes, and strange-looking beetles swarmed around the feces.
[I finally understand, Master Chu is interested in all kinds of animal feces]
Who did you learn this habit of observing feces from?
【I really can’t watch live broadcasts while eating. 】
Although everyone said this, their eyes were fixed on Chu Qiao!
Chu Qiao took out a knife and fiddled with the dung that had been pushed into a small hill. Camel dung was round, like sheep dung that had just been beaten many times. Fresh dung was brown.
Chu Qiao saw that most of the camel's dung had been completely drained of moisture by the desert wind.
The corners of her mouth curled up, revealing her first smile since entering the Gobi Desert.
[Master Chu is so happy? Could this be edible?]
No, I can’t accept this.
【Agree with the above plus 1】
[No one can accept it]
【nausea! 】
[The elephant's poop is done, are you still torturing me with the camel's poop? ]
Chu Qiao excitedly picked up a piece of completely dried dung. "There are few plants in the Gobi Desert, so there are few flammable materials that can burn. Dried camel dung can be used to start a fire. If there is enough, it can even directly replace wood."
[Is this fire-resistant?]
【Doesn’t it smell bad when it burns? 】
I can already smell it.
Chu Qiao nodded. "The feces of herbivorous animals aren't too smelly, so you don't have to worry about the smell. What you may not know is that the calorific value of camel feces is about half that of coal, so one ton of camel feces replaces half a ton of coal. Experiments have shown that they find it's best mixed with coal as boiler fuel. This way, about 8% to 10% of the coal is replaced by camel feces."
After saying that, Chu Qiao picked up all the feces and put them into his backpack.
Chu Qiao's backpack couldn't hold it all, so she even took off her coat, put the feces room coat on, and tied a knot.
The sun gradually set in the west. As the sunlight disappeared, the air became dry and cold. As the wind blew, it cut into Chu Qiao's exposed arms and cheeks like a knife.
Chu Qiao touched the camel's back. The camel could no longer lift its eyelids, and its thin tail trembled slightly. It wanted to hide but couldn't. It no longer had the slightest desire to survive.
Chu Qiao looked at the camel helplessly: "It's afraid of me. If I stay here, it will be frightened. It's better to let it leave quietly."
Chu Qiao walked away silently and walked back along the marked path.
Suddenly, a hint of green appeared before my eyes.
Chu Qiao started running. There were a lot of weeds on the Gobi Desert, but they were mostly dry branches. The rare green that appeared before his eyes immediately made Chu Qiao's taste buds salivate.
Her cheeks moved slightly and she swallowed her saliva, but before that, she had to confirm that this was a non-toxic plant.
"My expectations are not high. I just hope it's a non-toxic plant. As long as it's not poisonous, the taste and nutritional value are not a consideration."
