【I have a piece】

【I will give you one dollar and two cents seven】

Bi Fang's explanation suddenly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, but another problem also appeared.

【How do you make a fire here? 】

Indeed, there are ice floes everywhere, except water or water.

Is water flammable?

Of course it's flammable, but that has to be ionized and decomposed first.

Looking around, the only real operational combustibles were Bi Fang's clothes, which could be used to ignite the fire, no doubt to drink poison to quench thirst.

"So we have to cross the entire floe ice area to reach the real Greenland, Greenland with soil, where there may not be plants, but there must be animals. With animals, there is the possibility of ignition."

"On the Antarctic continent and on the Arctic glaciers, animal fat is the only other source of fuel available. Drift logs are sometimes collected on the coast - Greenlanders used to build their houses from wood drifted from the Siberian River through the Arctic Ocean. ."

"If you can find tundra areas, where are the low-spreading willows. The forest stretches also have some birch bushes and junipers. Birch trees are oily and very easy to ignite, even on wet branches."

"But that's too difficult, because it's so far away, it's almost impossible to get there."

Bi Fang squatted down, untied the shoelaces on his feet, stretched them around his ankles, and tied them all the way to his calf.

"The only hope is to find another low-growing, heather-like plant on the permafrost, the evergreen, small-leafed, bell-shaped white flowers commonly used by the Inuit, only 10 to 30 centimeters tall," he said. It contains more resin and can burn when wet. It also has a name that is difficult to find in the most complete English dictionary: .”

After changing the shoelaces, Bi Fang stepped on it, which was obviously much more comfortable.

"The ice surface is too slippery and it is easy to sprain the ankle, so we have to have good ankle support, so we can untie the shoelaces and wrap around the ankle, so that it is not easy to sprain, of course, the premise is that your The laces should be long enough."

"Don't underestimate the ice surface. If you reach out and touch it, the surface is full of frost and looks rough, but in fact it is terribly slippery."

Bi Fang pointed to the ground and reminded that the ice surface is different from any artificial smooth surface, and its surface has a layer of natural lubricant.

"There is a water film on the surface of the ice, no matter how low the temperature is, it will exist. I remember I talked about this topic when I climbed Mount Everest and crossed the glacier. This water film is not water in the ordinary sense, but a layer of water. special molecular structure."

"As for why, no one knows, maybe this will be a proposition that can win a Nobel Prize."

Bi Fang squinted, and the audience at this time could no longer see his expression, because Bi Fang's entire head was wrapped in clothes, and only a pair of eyes were exposed.

Forty degrees below zero, any exposed skin may die.

This kind of outfit also happens to avoid snow blindness.

"The good news is that it's just dawn. Although the day is short, it is still more than six hours. We still have a lot of time, and as the sun shines, the temperature will rise a lot, which will reduce our actions. some resistance."

Bi Fang trekked on the ice, and the more he walked, the more the audience could feel the horror of the North Pole.

So desolate.

It's a white desert here.

The power of nature is the most terrifying, no matter how fast the nerve reflexes are, and no matter how hard the bones are, they can't withstand the cold.

"The White Desert is also appropriate." Bi Fang, who was on his way, smiled, "The Antarctic really has this name because the average annual precipitation in the Antarctic continent is only 50 mm, and the average annual precipitation in the central part of the continent is only 3-5 mm. It is the driest region on earth and is called the 'Earth's Drought Pole'."

"The Arctic is better. The precipitation in the Arctic is generally much higher than in the Antarctic inland, but the average annual precipitation is between 100 and 250 mm."

"In terms of precipitation alone, the Arctic is an arid area, not even semi-arid. Greenland's waters are better, with a precipitation of 500 mm, which is considered semi-humid."

【Ah this】

【Stunned my old iron】

[It's really a "desert"]

[By the way, why is Greenland called Greenland, is it the same as the Ferlam Strait? 】

"Actually there are." Bi Fang nodded, affirming this statement, "In AD 982, a savage Norwegian was expelled for killing people, and he has since become a Viking pirate."

"Later, the pirate, under the name of 'Eric the Red-haired', rowed a boat by himself and set off from Iceland to a relatively primitive island nearby, where he started a settlement life there."

[That's Greenland, right]

[Fuck, red hair! pirate! Does he wear a straw hat? 】

【What four emperors? 】

"The island is icy and snowy, and the living environment is very harsh. It is like a big 'Iceland', but because the world was in a warm period at that time, Eric still found a piece of water grass less than one kilometer, which was green and full of vitality. "

"So, Eric named the island '', and the next one is easy to guess, '', transliterated as Greenland."

"After the prosecution period for the murder case ended, Eric returned to Iceland and told everyone that he had discovered a green continent. He had gathered a large number of followers around him."

"Four years later, in AD 986, Eric led an expedition of 25 ships, and in the end only 14 ships and 500 men reached Greenland."

"After these people came to the island, they settled at Bratalide Point and began a fishing and hunting life for nearly 500 years, until Greenland became a Norwegian colony in 1261."

【Another day without culture】

【When will you give me the same brain as Lao Fang]

【I want too】

Bi Fang took the kettle out of his arms and shook it. The water in it had melted. He opened the lid and took a sip, then continued: "This story is nothing at all, but one of the points is very interesting."

The audience pricked up their ears. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

"On the map, Europe and North America seem to be far apart, but in fact they are ridiculously close. Greenland is located at the junction of North America and Europe, and Canada is only separated by a strait in the west."

"If the Vikings who settled in Greenland back then went a step further and reached Canada, or even to the north, the history of the ugly country might have to be rewritten."

"It is recorded that when Eric and his crew were on their way to Greenland, they encountered a large storm on the way. Eric was pushed away from Greenland and saw a huge land covered by forest."

"That land is actually part of the North American continent. If Eric stopped to explore that new land, then things would be completely different, at least the claim that Columbus first discovered the new land is not true."

"The interesting thing about history, of course, is that the world is full of certainties and uncertainties, and you never know what's going to happen next."
