Chapter 170
The palm leaf moisture-proof mat is very thick.
Although it is not so soft, it can maintain body temperature well and prevent the loss of body heat.
In the wild, low body temperature (hypothermia, below 35 degrees) is very dangerous.
At the least, it will cause confusion.
At the worst, it will endanger life.
It really cannot be underestimated.
Do a good job of improving the shelter.
It is already dark.
The dark primitive jungle seems to have become quiet all of a sudden.
Walking out of the shack, Lu Yu brewed for a long time, turned to the camera and said:
"Everyone, it will be dark soon, and now I need to do one more thing-"

"That's fire!"
"Fire is an indispensable thing for survival in the wild. It can provide light and heat, drive away wild animals, and roast food."
"But more importantly, it can make people lost in the wilderness regain their confidence and move forward more firmly!"
At this time, some viewers asked: "Master Yu, how do you make a fire without a lighter?"
Lu Yu smiled.
Just one sentence made the audience speechless: "In the primitive age, our ancestors also had no tools for making fire, but they could get fire anytime and anywhere. Okay, everyone, now I'm going to collect some materials for making fire and show you how humans should make fire after leaving civilization!"
After the words fell.
Lu Yu stepped into the jungle.
" The humidity in the rainforest is very high. In order to make a fire successfully, I have to try to collect some relatively dry fire starters and firewood. "
"The core of the palm tree is a good choice."
As he said, he walked to a palm tree, broke off the top leaves, peeled off the green bark, and took out a ball of cotton-like things from it.
"This thing is the core of the palm tree, because it is hidden in the deepest part of the palm tree, even if the surrounding environment is humid, the core can always remain dry."
Putting the core into his trouser pocket, Lu Yu broke some dead branches of trees along the way, put them in his jacket pocket, and brought them back to the camp.
Then, he strolled around the shelter again.
When he came back, he was holding a stone with yellow-brown spots in his hand.
Holding the stone, he shook it in front of the camera, Lu Yu said: "You can't make a fire without the help of a blade. Since I don't have a knife, I have to find a way to solve this problem."
"This is flint, a very sharp stone. As early as the Stone Age, humans have learned to use this stone to make stone knives."
Without waiting for an explanation, the person in the live broadcast room asked again:
"Stone Age?"
"How to make a knife with stone?"
"I think it should be feasible! Otherwise, how did our ancestors survive?"
...
Looking at the stone in his hand, Lu Yu thought for a long time.
Then, he quickly stood up, came to a rock, and after finding the right angle, he smashed the stone very hard on the rock next to him.
"Bang--!"
Instantly.
The flint was broken into pieces.
Scattered all over the ground.
After bending down to select, Lu Yu picked up a fairly sharp stone flake and put it in his palm, then held it in front of the camera: "Look."
"Is this stone flake very sharp? Maybe you don't believe it, but it can easily cut my T-shirt--"
As he said that, Lu Yu immediately demonstrated it to the audience.
He raised the stone knife and gently cut his T-shirt.
Soon, the audience heard a "sizzling" sound.
Looking at Lu Yu's T-shirt again, a long cut had appeared.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes lit up!
I never thought that a knife could be made with just stone?
"Fuck, it looks sharp!"
"Yu Shen, you are such a clever little ghost!"
"I told you a long time ago that stones can be made into knives, but you still don't believe it!"
"A fire in winter gives the anchor airplanes x 5! -- Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing!"
"No breasts, give the anchor super rocket x 1! -- Too awesome! ”
…
In front of the shelter.
Lu Yu sat on the ground.
According to the first, second and third levels of fire starters, and their sizes and thicknesses, he classified them one by one.
Everything was ready, and he slowly opened his mouth:
“I have firewood and cutting tools. Next, I will show you a very primitive way to make fire - drilling wood to make fire!”
The audience in the live broadcast room were not unfamiliar with this term.
Many people know about drilling wood to make fire, and they also know the historical evolution of primitive society.
However, in this world with extremely advanced technology, the method of drilling wood to make fire has been forgotten by many people.
Almost no one has seen the so-called "drilling wood to make fire" with their own eyes.
The impression of drilling wood to make fire only comes from books or science and education documentaries.
If Lu Yu hadn't reminded them, most people would not have thought that he would use such a primitive method to start a fire.
“Fuck!”
“Drilling wood to make fire?”
“How is this possible, anchor, stop bragging!”
“I have only seen drilling wood to make fire in books, and I have never seen anyone play like this!”
“Wait! "
"Really? False?"
Ignoring the comments in the live broadcast room, Lu Yu continued:
"There are three ways to make fire by drilling wood, namely the hand drill method, the rope drill method, and the bow drill method."
"Because of the limited conditions and time, today I will demonstrate the relatively simple hand drill method."
"The hand drill method is very different from the other two methods of making fire. It is simple, easy to operate, and does not require any special tools. The only disadvantage is that the success rate is not as good as the first two."
"First, we need to find a relatively flat wooden board to serve as the drill board, and then find a small wooden stick to serve as the drill rod."
Looking for it in the firewood pile.
It took a lot of effort for Lu Yu to find a wooden board and a wooden stick suitable for serving as a drill board and a drill rod.
"Wait, I need to dig a hole on the edge of the drill board, make an ember trough for the embers to pour out, and then use one end of the drill rod to hold the ember trough and keep turning it. As long as enough embers are accumulated, they can be put into the fire starter and blown to help combustion."
As he said, Lu Yu began to demonstrate for the audience.
Picking up the stone knife, he first dug a hole on the edge of the drill board.
Because of the limitation of the tools, the shape is not very regular, but it is not a big problem.
Then, he found a dry leaf and put it under the hole.
"There is a term for this leaf, called an ember plate."
"When the drill rod rubs against the drill plate, a lot of embers will be produced. This is the fuse for us to ignite the fire source, and the task of the ember plate is to gather the fuse together and maintain the temperature."
Arrange the drill plate.
Lu Yu used a stone knife to trim the drill rod to make it more regular, and then took out the palm tree core from his trouser pocket and put it aside for use.
Soon.
The preparations were ready.
He moved his shoulders slightly and aimed the tip of the drill rod at the small hole on the drill plate.
Then, he gently clamped the drill rod with both hands and rubbed it back and forth repeatedly!
"Shua shua shua——!"
Time passed by every second, and the live broadcast room was filled with the friction of wood.
Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Yu's hands.
"Fuck, what kind of hand speed is this?"
"At least single for 20 years!"
"I like Yu Shen's unicorn arm!"
