Entertainment World: The Wild God of Gourmet

The Congo Basin used to be an inland lake. Because of the rise of the site and the leakage of the lake water, a typical large basin was formed.

It is the core part of the Precambrian African ancient land mass. The terrain is high and low, except for a narrow gap in the southwest leading to the Atlantic Ocean, it is surrounded by plateaus and mountains, while the interior is a plain. There are few mountains.

The place that Chen Ergou took a fancy to was one of Goudan's earliest targets after scanning the map.

This is a cliff slope composed of ancient metamorphic granite, gneiss, schist, quartzite, etc. About 500 meters above sea level, this height is very conspicuous in the rainforest of the nearby plain, and not far away is the rushing Congo River Basin.

Judging from the external terrain, it is absolutely impossible to believe that this place has any relationship with the treasure. But the other two places may not be found either. Treasure hunting is not judged only by external senses, but must be experienced by oneself. It is best not to drop any suspicious targets.

The more you go up, the surrounding vegetation is obviously different. There are many broad-leaved forests, and there is also a mixed evergreen and deciduous forest. He also found a small bamboo forest along the way.

"There is bamboo!"

He shouted excitedly: "It's great to find bamboo here. Bamboo can be said to be the ultimate green material. It grows without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, has a short growth cycle, and is the second fastest growing in the world." Plants, second only to sea anemones!"

"Hardwood trees may take centuries to mature, and softwoods may take 1,020 years to mature, while bamboo can grow to a mature height in only 35 years, and some species can grow up to 1 meter per day."

"I won't talk about the function of bamboo. As long as I have bamboo in hand, I can build a comfortable shelter. At least I can escape the torrential rain tonight."

After splitting the thorns blocking the way and approaching the past, I was also a little surprised.

Even bamboo, in the Congo Basin, is a towering ancient tree. The diameter is more than half a meter long, and they are generally 40 meters high. The tallest one may have exceeded 60 meters by visual inspection, and it is still growing upwards.

It was the first time he saw such a tall and rough primitive bamboo forest, "This is the giant dragon bamboo, which is also found in China. As far as I know, the tallest giant dragon bamboo in China is only about 50 meters long, and it has been dead for many years .Now it is a withered and yellow old bamboo, and it is still protected.”

"It has to be said that to survive in such an environment, any plant must strive to grow upwards,

Even bamboo is no exception. They have generally grown to a height of more than 40 meters, which is too tall for me. I just need to cut down a smaller one. "

I chose a tender green bamboo, and swung the wild knife fiercely. With a flash of the knife, the thigh-thick bamboo snapped off. Cut off unnecessary bamboo branches.

He also casually dug out a few bamboo shoots that had just emerged from the soil, picked up a few huge bamboo leaves, and dragged the big bamboo to the hillside in a hurry.

He raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and said, "It's 4 pm now, and it should be close to 11 pm in China. The sky here has already started to get dark. The Congo Basin is on the equator, and the length of day and night are the same. It's going to get dark very quickly. And it's the rainy season, and when it rains it's a constant downpour."

"I want to hurry up. I have to make a good fire before dark, otherwise it will become the dinner of all the mosquitoes in the forest. Even the heavy rain can't stop their bloodthirsty desire. The location of the shelter must be selected and dumped." Trees and branches overhead, or surrounding stones, are the number one killers in the forest, so I had to find a clearing.”

When I came to the high ground, I put down the bamboo for a while and looked around, and finally chose to build a shelter on the cliff near the south direction. Although it is close to the cliff, it seems more dangerous, but there is a huge granite sunken in to keep out the wind.

It is not a natural shape, but a depression formed by long-term flooding when the terrain was still very low in the past.

"It's not bad here, the ground is dry. Although there is a stream below, the terrain here is relatively high and will not be flooded. What makes it even more enjoyable is this piece of granite in the back. This indentation is just right for me to drill into. .And more importantly, there are no ants here."

"In the Congo rainforest, the ant is the real king of the forest."

"You haven't seen the power of black army ants appearing in groups, but I have. As soon as they appear, everything along the way will be destroyed. They will bite everything they see. Even chimpanzees are afraid of them, so When you sleep, you should sleep on a tree. Even a chimpanzee with rough skin and thick flesh is unwilling to sleep on the ground and stand the test of poisonous insects."

As he spoke, the dark clouds above his head were getting thicker and thicker.

The purple thunder and lightning were weaving a cobweb of cheats in the clouds, and the endless bombardment of the muffled thunder made his ears almost never clean for a moment.

The dense muffled thunder sounded like a war drum urging soldiers to go out, disturbing people's mind.

And such atrocious scenes were all faithfully filmed, making the audience in the live broadcast room dumbfounded.

The last time they were in the Sahara, they saw the endless desert. Even if they watched the live broadcast at home, they would feel insecure in their hearts, and wished they could hug the kettle tightly to sleep.

Seeing this kind of thunderous power now, what should we embrace?

It makes people's scalp numb and can't resist!

Fortunately, Chen Ergou was able to remain calm and build his shelter step by step.

"Before we set up camp for the night, we must first remove the grass on the ground. Especially the fallen leaves that have deposited, all cleaned up until the land is exposed."

This sounds not difficult, but you must know that the weed-covered place in front of you has grown to a height of 1012 feet, and the grass blades are as sharp as blades. Chen Ergou brandished two wild knives and frantically opened up an open space.

Then use your feet to clean up all the fallen leaves and weeds in the vicinity.

"Remember, when you're clearing the ground, never use your hands to remove the fallen leaves, because there may be snakes or scorpions. So with a stick, you have to remove the leaf litter in a large area, and try to remove as much dirt as possible. Near the granite, that's where my last bed was called."

"I wouldn't bother with a full-fledged bamboo hut because I'm only here for one night. Most snakes and scorpions don't cross the open space, so removing fallen leaves should be enough to deter them from approaching."

Time was running out, and despite being tired and hungry, he had to start working.

A few knives were used to split the bamboo into sections. There is still a lot of water stored in the bamboo joints near the roots, no wonder it is so heavy. Instead of throwing away these water-storing bamboo joints, he cut them off and put them as water-storing bamboo bowls.

Select two plants as pillars and insert them in the ground.

Without nails, he just gently stirred the tip of the knife on the bamboo to dig out an embedded hole, and then inserted a bamboo slice into it as a beam.

Knock out the bamboo joints of other bamboos, and they can be piled up like tiles, and simple shelters can be built with bamboo.

Explaining while doing it, he said: "This is just a very simple shed structure, a kind of side wall hanging down on both sides, because there is little wind below the rainforest, and the strong wind is blocked above the trees. The rainwater will only fall vertically. I was in a hurry to get the shelter up as soon as possible, it was still light but the visibility on the forest floor was already very low. I couldn't see anything in another hour."

His hands-on ability has always been very strong. After several times of using simple tools, a unique jungle bamboo house has been formed.

There were still a lot of bamboo left on the ground, and he also used the waste to build a simple bamboo bed half a meter above the ground.

It is really convenient to use such thick bamboo to build a hut. If time does not allow, he can even build a complete bamboo hut here. Even bamboo floors will do the trick.

When all this was done, it only took half an hour.

He let out a long sigh of relief, and he was also very satisfied with the fruits of his labor.

The camera is pulled up, and the shelter is overlooked from a distance. Although it is not a complete bamboo house that can be called an art, such an exquisite bamboo house can be built in such a primitive jungle, and the left and right are strictly aligned, and all the connections are also used. The old built-in way of construction, even several beams and triangular structures are quite ingenious.

There are no bamboo walls, bamboo windows, or bamboo doors around, so he doesn't need them either.

The most admirable thing is his spirit of enjoyment, even in such a cruel primitive rainforest!

After watching it, the audience couldn't help asking, "Why did you make that bamboo bed so finely, and even the bamboo pieces that make the bed are so neat and dense? Are you here for adventure or to enjoy it?" what!"
