The Ultimate Live Superstar

Chapter 389 The materials are in a hurry, looking for eucalyptus!

Tropical low pressure cyclones pass through, and super typhoons will often be formed!

If the situation is not good, it is also possible to bring a strong tropical storm!

Every February and March.

When the northern hemisphere was still in Maodong, various cyclones in the southern hemisphere had already appeared one after another, ushering in their own typhoon season.

In 2018, the No. 1802 2113 wind "Sanba" was the No. 2 typhoon (tropical storm level) that year.

This guy spawned in the Pacific Northwest around 08:00 on February 11, 2018.

It landed in the Philippines around 10:30 on February 13, and then moved into the South China Sea, and did not weaken until after February 15.

"Three buses" caused 14 deaths and economic losses of 3.2 million US dollars in the Philippines!

This example tells us that in the face of powerful natural disasters, even a developed modern civilization will be exhausted!

Not to mention the unarmed survivors...

Really on the verge of desperation.

There is little hope of a comeback.

Put it this way.

If you compare this survival challenge to a trial.

There is no doubt about that.

How to settle down in a disaster should be the last hurdle of Lu Yu's trip!

Based on the experience accumulated in the previous life and the records on the master's guide.

Lu Yu had the confidence to survive this last moment.

But then again.

This is not a civilized society after all.

Can it be changed without change.

In addition to strong strength and experience, it also requires a little luck.

Because compared to nature.

Human beings are passive at all times.

The only way to survive is to do your best and follow God's will!

Looking at the scene for a while.

Lu Yu continued on the topic just now and continued:

"If it's just a typhoon and a strong tropical storm, there shouldn't be any problem. At that time, even if this mud-tile house can't stand it, we can find another way and find a cave to hide."

"The Oridians have dug a lot of canal tunnels on the island, and finding a place to live is not difficult at all."

"But it's not this that really threatens us—"

Having said this, he paused.

A slightly worried expression.

After a moment of deliberation, he continued:

"Low pressure cyclones usually bring sustained heavy rainfall."

"As a result, the groundwater level on the island will definitely be affected."

"My camp is located on the edge of the west coast, and the terrain is low. Once flash floods break out, it will definitely be a big problem."

Compared with typhoons and storms, the huge impact of flood peaks cannot be underestimated.

Because of the super strong impact, everything can be drowned in an instant.

Will not give you any reaction time!

After showing his strength, Lu Yu continued:

"The outbreak of flash floods often occurs in an instant, and there is almost no regularity at all."

"As long as the conditions are met, the turbulent torrent will invade at any time."

"However, flash floods are not an inevitable disaster."

"We can give early warning by observing the water level of the river. The method is very simple. If the water level does not rise sharply in a short period of time, there is no need to worry. On the contrary, we need to be more careful. In normal times, we may not be too concerned, but once the weather has Change, the water level of the river is the yardstick for our escape."

"It seems that during this time, we have a new daily task. But it doesn't matter, compared to living, it's nothing..."

After talking about his worries and thoughts, Lu Yu ate something casually.

Then temporarily stopped the broadcast, lying on the bed and taking a nap for a while.

It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that the live broadcast room was slowly opened.

Because it's hard to relax.

I slept really well this time.

The fatigue and irritability of the past few days all disappeared at once.

It's getting dark very fast today.

As soon as I got up, the light in the forest dimmed.

Stumbled into the night.

After eating,

Lu Yu was chatting with everyone in front of the bonfire without a word.

Take it easy.

I didn't go to sleep until ten o'clock at night.

...

the following few days.

The rain never stopped.

And Lu Yu almost didn't go out.

In addition to daily supplies, most of the time hiding in the house.

This kind of day lasted until the fifty-first day, when there was a significant improvement.

but.

Although the rain stopped.

But the sky still did not clear up.

Overcast.

It was so heavy that it was almost delusional.

It feels like it will fall apart at any moment.

At the same time, the temperature in the island has also been affected to a certain extent.

Ups and downs.

There is no set number.

wind.

It's getting bigger and bigger.

The various signs here always gave Lu Yu a bad feeling.

always feel abnormal.

So, these days, whenever he is free, he will go to the river for a stroll.

Observe the change in water level.

But after a few days, nothing unusual was found.

The stream remains.

The water level is also tepid.

Nothing special.

At least, on the surface, there should be no unexpected troubles in a short period of time.

this day.

The fifty-first day of coming to Oridia!

early morning.

With a gloomy morning light.

After breakfast, Lu Yu immediately started the live broadcast.

"good morning everyone."

next second.

A neat barrage swarmed from the right side of the live broadcast room in an instant, covering the entire screen.

"Morning Feather God!"

"Happy Chinese New Year!"

"People from Jiangxi sent congratulatory messages to wish everyone a Happy New Year!"

"Nanyang Vocational and Technical College sent a congratulatory message!"

"Happy New Years Anchor!"

"I finally got the badge today!"

If it wasn't for the audience, Lu Yu would have almost forgotten.

It turns out that today is New Year's Eve.

On a desert island.

In addition to counting the days of departure every day, Lu Yu has long been ambiguous about these festivals from civilization.

Not in that mood either.

But anyway, it is Chinese New Year after all.

After suddenly realizing it, Lu Yu immediately sent his blessings:

"Happy New Year everyone, I'm really sorry."

"Thanks to your reminder, otherwise I really didn't realize it."

"It's a day to celebrate and a day full of joy."

"At least for the vast majority of Chinese people, it is an extraordinary festival. But unfortunately, in order to get out of here alive, this special day, for me, seems ordinary on the way to survive, but in fact it is It's been a tough day..."

In recent days, due to heavy rain.

The daily supplies in the camp are almost consumed.

Among them, the most important may be food and firewood.

Food is nothing to say.

Although the cassava is still immature, because of the eggs and hunting points, it should not be a big problem to survive.

No more.

Just killing the remaining two turkeys will make you feel more comfortable.

The most annoying thing is the firewood.

Because it was raining very hard.

None of the vegetation in the jungle is spared.

Finding dry firewood in this situation is by no means an easy task!

Sitting in front of a campfire.

Lu Yu was drinking the hot tea he had just brewed.

Continuing on the topic just now, he said:

"The rain came so suddenly that it didn't give me enough time to react."

"It's impossible without fire, we have to find a way."

Put down the pottery bowl.

He got up and carried the bamboo basket.

Pick up a stone axe.

Then he left the camp and stepped forward into the jungle.

Jungle after rain.

The trees are wet.

Without the help of combustibles, these trees would not be able to serve as firewood at all.

Humidity is too high.

...

Wade through the grass full of water droplets.

Lu Yu said as he walked:

"It's very annoying when it's raining when you're outdoors."

"If you don't have a tinder on hand, and you don't have the right clothing, a rain will likely break it down."

"It is difficult to make a fire, and the body temperature is lost... Unless it is fully equipped, it must be difficult. Then, how to solve the problem of difficulty in making a fire, don't worry, let me explain slowly!"

When on the road.

Lu Yu's gaze never stopped.

It looked like he was looking for something.

"When we can't get enough dry firewood, we try to look for trees that have a higher oil content, such as pine or eucalyptus."

"If you're in the northern hemisphere, after a heavy rain, even if all the trees in the jungle get wet, as long as you can find a pine forest, you can definitely start a fire."

"Pine tree oil is rich and not afraid of water, and it is extremely flammable. Even today, the aborigines living in the mountains of North America still use it to make fire."

"Of course, if you're in the southern hemisphere, don't be discouraged, the eucalyptus will also save your life."

Eucalyptus, also called Eucalyptus.

It is the collective name for the Myrtaceae and Eucalyptus plants.

Evergreen tall trees.

Periodic shedding of dead leaves occurs throughout the year.

Most species are tall trees.

Only a few are small trees.

Shrublike rarely.

But whether small trees or large trees, all eucalyptus have one characteristic in common.

That is the leaves and trunks, both containing wax.

So oily!

Very flammable!

Even a spark can burn.

The most outrageous thing is that the high temperature and prolonged drought will also make the eucalyptus's temperament change greatly, and it will spontaneously ignite and vent its hatred.

"The origin of eucalyptus is mainly in the Australian mainland. It was not introduced to all parts of the world until the 19th century. By 2012, 96 countries or regions had mastered the role of eucalyptus cultivation."

"Eucalyptus is an interesting tree species that is extremely prone to fire."

"In terms of flammability, it is absolutely second to none. As long as the temperature and climate are a little drier, it will involuntarily burn itself."

Why do wildfires often occur in Australia?

Among them, the main reason is because of the existence of eucalyptus.

Not paying attention.

will cause widespread forest fires.

But the most amazing thing is that when the fire completely burned other vegetation, the culprit who created the fire was not affected.

Eucalyptus is not only not destroyed after spontaneous combustion.

Instead, new shoots will grow in place!

As a result, there are more and more eucalyptus trees throughout the Australian continent.

Especially in arid areas, almost all the water is this kind of "deserted tree".

But for Lu Yu, this kind of tree that does harm to others and not oneself is the raw material he is desperate for now.

Because of it, the problem of firewood is basically completely solved.

No matter how much rain it rains, there is nothing to worry about.

Eucalyptus is widely distributed in the South Pacific Islands.

The soil conditions of Oridia Island are also suitable for its growth.

Lu Yu was certain that there must be eucalyptus trees on the island.

"In mainland Australia, the eucalyptus tree is a veritable tree of kings, and is called by many as the most intelligent 'arsonist' in nature."

"Remember last year, the Australian fire that burned for 5 months? This kind of thing has long been commonplace in Australia."

"The fires could have spread if it wasn't for the largest sustained rainfall in 30 years in the surrounding area."

This fire in mainland Australia has been reported by many media.

The audience was also impressed.

But the real reason for the fire not going out, few people know.

Because in this world.

Everyone doesn't pay much attention to this kind of thing.

The relevant data has never been exposed on the Internet.

Immediately after.

Lu Yu said again:

"The fire has destroyed more than 10 million hectares of land and 2,500 houses, killed at least 33 people and killed about 1 billion animals."

Hearing this, everyone in the live broadcast room was suddenly shocked, and they were speechless:

"What?"

"My Nima, a billion?"

"Fuck, so many?"

"What's the fuss about this, and it won't delay our fight for the glory of the king!"

"I wipe, the cause of the fire is actually a tree? The anchor, is it true or false?"

Look at the barrage.

Lu Yu nodded:

"Climate is the trigger, but it's actually the eucalyptus that keeps the fires going."

"Just saying that, everyone may not be familiar with the eucalyptus tree species. However, if you mention koalas, I believe you must be familiar with them. You know, eucalyptus is the only designated certified food for koalas."

"To be fair, it's a real headache for Australians."

...

Done.

Lu Yu carried the stone axe and continued to go deep into the woods.

Eucalyptus grows mostly on sunny plains or hillsides.

Leaves can be harvested throughout the year.

Because the trunk is high, the root system is developed, and the transpiration effect is also large, it is known as a water pump, which is easy to cause soil desertification, which is not conducive to the growth of other plants.

Generally, it can grow in areas with an annual rainfall of 500 mm, and it is better to grow with an annual rainfall of more than 1000 mm.

It is suitable for acidic red soil, yellow soil and alluvial soil with deep soil layer, but it grows well in deep, loose and well-drained soil.

According to the growth characteristics of eucalyptus.

Lu Yu headed southwest all the way, and walked up to a higher place intentionally or unintentionally.

After about forty minutes of walking.

Huang Xin pays off.

He finally found a few eucalyptus trees that were soaking wet on an open and abrupt hillside.

The trunk is slender.

Leafy.

Take a look.

Almost three or five meters high.

see this scene.

Lu Yu was overjoyed.

He quickly pointed to the eucalyptus trees clustered on the soil slope and said:

"Guys, this is what I'm looking for."

"With its help, making a fire is a matter of minutes."

"Although it looks wet, it can burn quickly as long as it is thrown into the fire. This characteristic of eucalyptus can't even be compared to the sedimentary pine."

The words fall.

Lu Yu didn't waste time anymore.

Climb up the soil slope three or two times, unload the bamboo basket and put it aside.

Aim for the trunk of a tree.

He swung the stone axe and slashed.

"Bang bang bang-!"

Three axes down.

Surprisingly, although the bark of eucalyptus is very soft, the texture of the trunk is very firm.

The blade of a stone axe.

Nothing at all.

After cutting for a while, I saw a small gap.

Go on like this.
