I Live in the Interstellar Wilderness to Survive

Chapter 10

Views:

The first thing Qi Guang gave up was the laboratory method of purifying crude salt.

Although this occupies an important chapter in the high school textbook and appears in almost every exam, Qi Guang can still recite the order of reagents and balancing chemical formulas.

Ideally, Qi Guang could use this method to obtain almost completely pure sodium chloride crystals, but he could not obtain most of the chemical reagents needed under the current circumstances.

Don't tell him about the system mall. He doesn't recognize something that costs him 100,000 points for one gram of barium chloride.

Moreover, accurate quantification is also a problem. Where in the wilderness can he find the conditions to measure the content of each impurity in the seawater

Compared with the laboratory method of crude salt purification, seawater salt production is so economical, simple and convenient, and it is a product full of ancient wisdom.

Of course, the salt field method suitable for large-scale production cannot be copied to the current environment, but using the principle Qi Guang can design a set of operational processes to extract salt from seawater.

He brought a small bucket and left with a bucket of sea water. He also did not forget to take away the glass bottles, stainless steel pipes, etc. he picked up on the beach.

Qi Guang actually didn’t know what use these things would be.

Glass bottles are not as good-looking as ceramic bowls, because they are severely weathered and not very durable. And the stainless steel water pipe is only a small section, maybe it can be used as a thimble after grinding

But Qi Guang didn't mind wasting some energy to carry it back, and no one could stop him.

On the way back, Qi Guang finished eating the remaining shrimps, crunching them in his mouth and looking at the glass bottle in his hand from time to time. His expression was so excited that he couldn't hide it even through the river mud.

The glass bottle that he could hold in his hand was different from the live broadcast system that was thousands of light years away. The discovery of these garbage made him feel that he was closer to human civilization again. At a certain moment, it was as if he had returned to the prosperous modern society, and he was still in the same group as himself.

Because of the end of the world, Qi Guang doesn't like to interact with too many people. The more people around him, the harder it is to guess, and it is easy to put himself in danger. However, Qi Guang does not deny his instinct as a social animal. He still needs group identity and placebo to dispel the depressing loneliness when he survives alone.

You don't need a lot, a glass bottle is enough.

It is enough to reconnect the individual as Qi Guang with the human group.

Now it should be called the human species.

Qi Guang corrected himself in his mind and consciously introduced his new gains to the audience.

Yingying has a new move.

I know about glass! But I am ignorant about boiling seawater with salt [covering face].

The human history major said that he had never seen such a description in the materials, and didn’t know whether it was Yingying’s private creation.

A poet of the human race once wrote that the sea water is the tears of the sky... Maybe he got the inspiration from here

Salt is something that interstellar audiences are familiar with. After all, it is an indispensable necessity for the survival of carbon-based creatures. However, the interstellar ocean is not the ocean on Earth, and interstellar salt does not come from sea water.

Even on the planet Froda, which is half made up of sea, the native Phil personally proved that the sea water is not salty at all and has a refreshing and sweet taste. The Naaru galaxy is the most important salt producing area in the interstellar.

There is no seawater to boil salt, only large areas of salt ponds and salt rivers made up of almost completely pure salt rocks in the Naaru galaxy. Different planets in the galaxy produce salt bricks of different quality and composition.

"After hearing what Yingying said, I want to go to Naru-1." Heath was combing his feathers while watching the live broadcast, while having a video call with Phil.

Beneath its slender white flight feathers are soft down, and small balls of feathers can be combed out with a fine-tooth comb.

Now is the molting season for this type of feathers, and they must comb out the fallen feathers frequently so that the new feathers will look good next season.

Naru-1 is the first developed planet in the Naru galaxy. It has beautiful salt rivers with deep red and light pink colors like the morning glow. The most famous light pink salt pool can deeply clean down feathers and promote the regeneration of new feathers after the old feathers fall off. Many feathered animal species will go there for feather maintenance during the molting period.

Phil showed a disgusted expression when he heard this, "If you want to go, go by yourself. I can't adapt to the climate there."

For the fish system, the Naaru galaxy is too dry and salty. The wind is filled with salt particles. In less than three days, its beautiful scales will become dry, cracked and dull.

"I'm not planning on asking you to go with me." Heath was very proactive. He immediately arranged his schedule and booked a spaceship ticket as soon as he said he was going out. He also posted a new comment during the live broadcast.

I look forward to the salt produced by Yingying! It must be of super high quality! Trust Yingying!

Heath booked a spaceship ticket to Naru-1, and even asked in the family group if anyone wanted to join him in a group, as he had a private salt pool at Naru-1 where he could soak.

It’s a pity that the molting period is also the courtship and breeding period for this type of feathers. Usually no one is willing to go out and wander around by themselves at this time.

As expected, most of the people who responded to Heath were—

Not going.

No time.

The children can go and play by themselves.

Well, a bird is a bird.

Heath shook his wings and picked up a feather that had fallen.

The small badminton balls on the ground were directly disposed of by the cleaning robot, but Feiyu had to be picked up and kept carefully.

According to the tradition of feathered mammals, a qualified male must build a beautiful nest with beautiful flight feathers before he is qualified to propose to the object of his affection.

Heath put the flight feather into the small box with great anticipation, and the two extra-long tufts of hair at the ends of his hair curled up in response to his mood.

Among the golden hair, only the ends of these two tufts were dyed golden red from light to dark. They were not hair, but long feathers that were extremely rare even among feathered beasts, symbolizing atavism and excellent bloodline.

―――――――――――――――――

Salt-making is a job that cannot be rushed, so Qi Guang placed the buckets of water in the cave to let them settle.

During this time, he cut down two more trees and moved them to the vicinity of the cave. He chopped off the branches and used them as firewood. He cleaned the tree trunks and saved them up to accumulate materials for building a winter house later.

He planned to build a winter house near the experimental field and dig a cellar to collect and store food for the winter.

The cave is quite far from the experimental field. Qi Guang's food source for the winter is the output of the experimental field, so building a house must consider the issue of transporting food.

When Qi Guang was chopping branches, he smelled a hint of blood approaching in the air.

Perhaps because he was infected with the zombie virus when he was bitten by a zombie, he smelled the smell of blood half a second faster than his other senses. The smell of blood was as specific as a strand of silk in his senses, entwined and flowing through the air.

First he smelled it, then he heard the footsteps and subtle noises, and images followed in his mind - thick pads of flesh stepping on the branches on the ground, the slanting branches of the bushes hooked on the fur, being pulled forward and bounced back, shaking gently twice.

The cat is here again.

He walked slowly with his tail up, a dead rabbit in his mouth, blood dripping as he walked, and he wandered around in Qi Guang's peripheral vision as if nothing had happened.

It was as if they happened to meet each other while hunting, so they condescended to take a look at what new tricks Qi Guang, the two-legged beast, was up to.

Watch and enjoy the rabbit you caught.

There is not much meat on rabbits this season, and the bones are a bit sticky.

But that posture was both elegant and wild, and once again won the hearts of the audience in the live broadcast room.

Yes! They can!

This breed is great! I want to raise it!

Yingying is so good at technology, why not consider making a virtual pet?! Their wallets are ready!

Qi Guang, who was in the downwind position, smelled the increasingly strong smell of blood after the rabbit was disemboweled. He frowned, pulled a branch off the tree trunk and threw it aside, then turned his head and took a close-up of the cat for the audience who were watching the screen full of fireworks.

The cat was also looking at the two-legged beast, licking the rabbit's blood from the corner of its mouth with its tongue.

When you look closely at the yellow-green eyes, you will find that there are mottled light and shadows at the bottom of the eyes like ice cracks. The pupils are contracted into a thin line, revealing a cold and majestic look.

The cat had no idea that it was on a live broadcast and just winked suggestively at the two-legged beast.

Do you want to eat

The Twolegged beast stared at it for three seconds, then lowered its head indifferently and began to chop branches, as if those branches were more important than meat.

Don't want to eat.

After eating fish for several days, Qi Guang was a little greedy for meat, but he was not willing to snatch the two taels of rabbit from the cat's mouth. The cat was obviously a food-protecting person, and would not do it just for a bite of meat.

--With Qi Guang's stupid bipedal thinking, of course he couldn't understand why the cat had to come here for afternoon tea.

The cat changed its posture again, picking up the rabbit and eating it with a slurp, while its tail swung at the two-legged beast like a tempting little hook.

Do you want to eat? Come over here and I'll give it to you.

But this time the two-legged beast didn't even look at it. It tied the branches together and tied them to a long rope. Then it climbed into the den and pulled the long rope, pulling the big bundles of branches in one by one.

Qi Guang had already put up a circle of pointed fences outside the cave, made a movable door for entry and exit, and tied a few more circles of vine ropes to serve as a lock.

Now the cat could no longer peek at the two-legged beasts, so it had to carry the rabbit in its mouth and walk around in circles outside.

The cat was actually not hungry at all. Last night it caught a lamb that was almost the same size as itself. A full meal would last it for several days. If it hadn't wanted to feed the two-legged beast, it wouldn't have needed to catch the rabbit. Even if it caught one, it wouldn't have had much appetite to eat it.

Maybe Bipeds are not interested in meat and only like to eat fish.

The cat picked and ate two bites of the rabbit, left the rest of the rabbit at the entrance of the Twolegs' cave, and climbed up a big tree near the Twolegs' cave with its tail hanging down unhappily.

When it gets dark, the bipeds' caves will be lit up with fire - a fire so dangerous that the animals dare not approach it, but a sweet smell will waft out, attracting many guys who want to eat and drink and linger around.

The cat bared its teeth and growled, scaring away the sneaky mice at the entrance of the cave.

That's the two-legged beast it's covering!

The mouse squeaked and ran away, alarming the two-legged beasts in the cave.

The cat was in the tree, watching the two-legged beast stick its head out of the fence. It looked left and right and observed carefully, then quietly picked up the rabbit it had dropped on the ground and put it in.

So I still eat meat.

The cat licked its paw and felt the sense of accomplishment of feeding the two-legged beast.

Qi Guang, who had picked up half a rabbit for free at his doorstep, was puzzled by the cat's strange behavior, and decisively cut a piece of meat to roast.

He pointed the camera at the rabbit on the ground and shared with the audience the first bite of meat he had eaten in recent days.

The rabbit, whose neck was bitten off, tilted its head with its eyes open in death, its stomach ripped open and bloody, and the moment it appeared on the camera, it was automatically blurred by the live broadcast platform, with its mouth wide open so that its two front teeth could be seen.

It was dark at midnight, with only the dim light from the fire flickering, and the rabbit eyes covered with white film looked like a scene from a horror movie.

Aaaaahhh!!!

Why! No! High energy warning!

I was caught off guard and almost died of fright.

Little white rabbit, so white...

The death was too tragic... Yingying's earth suddenly became cruel qaq

Can't the simulated earth be a little more peaceful and loving? ! This bloody scene will scare the children!

I bet most carnivorous animals don’t think so, like me, W.

The piece of rabbit meat that Qi Guang cut was quickly roasted, giving off a warm and rich aroma of meat, which naturally tempted the glutton in his stomach.

Qi Guang picked up the rabbit meat, blew on it, then tore off a small piece and put it into his mouth.

The gravy was boiling hot, and the slight fishy smell that could not be covered by any seasoning and the overwhelming satisfaction brought by the meat swept over, making Qi Guang squint his eyes in satisfaction.

Fish, shrimp, and crab meat cannot be compared with "meat".

"To make the bunny die a worthy death." Qi Guang licked the grease from his lips, looking serious and solemn, "I will eat them all."

He swallowed and added: "Make full use of it, leaving nothing behind."

Tempted by his "delicious" expression, the audience who were wondering how could they eat rabbits when they were so cute suddenly changed their minds the next second.

The meat is tender and looks absolutely delicious.

Rabbits are so cute, I want to eat them too qaq.

But then again, if this wasn't an Earth simulation, Yingying would have been in interstellar court after eating that rabbit = =.

Hunting and eating (extinct) rare animals would probably result in a sentence of hundreds of years233333.

This is what the cat fed us! It has nothing to do with us Yingying! We Yingying just picked up the meat!

However, cats on Earth actually have a feeding setting. I couldn’t help but feel disgusted when looking at the cat-type beasts.

What a great boyfriend! I also want to be fed by a cat>w
