After the rain completely stopped, it got dark.
Lu Fan laid out a lot of soft leaves in the shelter.
He lay in the shelter, next to a warm fire.
"How boring."
For a young person, the nights are really hard to get through without a cell phone and entertainment.
Helpless, Lu Fan could only let his mind wander.
Our current survival is only at the very beginning; we've only temporarily solved the problem of basic needs, but we still have a long way to go before we can survive in the long run.
Lu Fan has many things to solve in the near future, such as salt, iron, and a stable food supply. These are all things that must be resolved in the short term, as they play a very important role in his future survival.
Furthermore, while surviving, we must also seek out as many resources as possible and use the ten-thousand-fold return to alleviate the country's resource shortage, such as coal mines and freshwater resources.
Lost in thought, Lu Fan fell asleep and spent a peaceful night.
When Lu Fan woke up, the sky had cleared up.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath of fresh air. "Ah, so refreshing! After breathing so much air in the big city, the scent of the forest is definitely sweeter and more pleasant."
"City: What do you mean I can't even compare to her breath? Huh!"
"I also want to live in the mountains."
"Facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming, how enviable!"
Many people appeared in the live stream early in the morning.
As usual, Lu Fan went to the beach to check his traps and found many more.
In the live broadcast room, host Wang Tao and survival expert Zhao Hangjun appeared to be in high spirits.
Yu Rui couldn't help but yawn, looking unwell because she had stayed up late watching the live stream last night.
After casually eating a few bites of fish for breakfast, Lu Fan decided to go out and explore after the rain, as many things would be washed out by the rain.
He took a basket and two bamboo spears and prepared to set off.
As Lu Fan went out to explore and search for supplies, the viewers in the live stream followed in his footsteps, as if they were on a wonderful adventure themselves.
Wang Tao and Zhao Hangjun sat at the anchor desk in the live broadcast room, excitedly discussing Lu Fan's possible discoveries.
Wang Tao stared intently at the screen and said excitedly, "Lu Fan has set off again. I bet he'll have a great day, maybe even find some treasure."
Zhao Hangjun smiled and said, "Lu Fan is very capable; wilderness survival is no problem for him."
"Teacher Zhao has so much confidence in Lu Fan?" Wang Tao asked with great interest.
Zhao Hangjun laughed heartily: "I have confidence in the younger generation of our country."
Although Yu Rui was not in good spirits after staying up late last night, her eyes lit up instantly when she saw Lu Fan leave.
She rubbed her eyes, perked up, leaned closer to the screen, and muttered softly, "Lu Fan, you really have to find something good! I'm staying up all night waiting to see the results."
The audience in the live stream was also very excited.
Some viewers excitedly flooded the live chat with messages like, "Go Lu Fan! Go find the treasure!"
"There has to be a surprise today, or I'll be disappointed."
Lu Fan used a wooden stick to clear a path. After the rain, a lot of water remained on the plants, which quickly soaked his trouser legs, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Hmm? Dandelions? These are good, I can pick some."
"Wild chrysanthemums, that's fine too, pick some."
"Wild onions?!"
As Lu Fan explored further and further, the contents of his basket grew larger and larger, mostly consisting of medicinal plants or wild vegetables.
"The king summoned me to patrol the mountains; I'll take a stroll through the human world."
The abundant harvest along the way put Lu Fan in a good mood, and he unconsciously started humming a song.
The soil beneath your feet is rich in iron.
Lu Fan stopped abruptly, his eyes wide with shock.
He crouched down, carefully picked up the red soil, brought it close to his nose to smell it, and then rubbed it between his fingers. He felt that the soil was indeed different from others; it was harder and had a faint metallic smell.
He shouted excitedly, "Haha, heaven is on my side!"
The viewers in the live stream immediately became curious.
"What did you find? Tell me quickly, I'm so anxious!"
"Animal feces?"
"Element X? Are we going for a sci-fi route?"
Wang Tao exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, this color is weird! Judging from Lu Fan's appearance, is there some special ingredient involved?"
After a careful observation, Zhao Hangjun immediately explained, "Judging from the color and texture, it's very likely soil rich in iron. Iron ore is an important raw material for industry, used to smelt iron and manufacture various metal products. Lu Fan's discovery is extremely important!"
Although Yu Rui was not in good spirits after staying up late last night, her eyes lit up instantly when she saw this scene.
She rubbed her eyes, leaned closer to the screen, and exclaimed in surprise, "Iron? Does that mean we can make ironware?!"
Viewers flooded the screen with comments like, "Wow, what kind of soil is this? It's amazing!"
"Lu Fan is amazing! He made a fortune as soon as he stepped out the door!"
"Quickly analyze this soil and see what it's actually used for."
Some people have already started to fantasize: "If this soil is really useful, Lu Fan's life will be even more comfortable in the future."
With iron ore, you can craft knives, hoes, and pickaxes—a complete iron three-piece set—and never fear zombies again.
Lu Fan became more and more excited as he thought about it. He quickly took out the basket he carried with him and began to carefully collect the red soil.
While collecting, he hummed a little tune: "Dig, dig, dig, dig out iron ore and take it home."
Wang Tao joked in the live stream: "Is Lu Fan going to switch to being a miner? What do you guys think of his mining skills?"
Zhao Hangjun analyzed seriously: "This is not just simple mining; it's laying the foundation for future survival. The discovery of iron ore means that he can make more tools and weapons, which will greatly enhance his survival ability."
Lu Fan filled a basket with red soil, stood up with satisfaction, and prepared to take these treasures home.
Lu Fan suspected that there was a mineral vein underneath, with iron ore eroding into the soil and being exposed by the heavy rain.
However, due to limited tools, mining is not possible for the time being.
He looked back at the land, his heart filled with anticipation and hope.
He knew this was just the beginning, and many more challenges and surprises awaited him in the future.
