Chapter 5: What about making fire by rubbing two sticks together?

“Hahahaha! This is so funny! Expert, what else can you say?”

“This slap in the face came unexpectedly!”

“Su Yuan, it’s OK! The shelter is ready!”

“Far ahead!”

“You’re invincible kid!”

There was a burst of ridicule in the barrage.

In the studio.

Zhu Wei said awkwardly:
“Haha, I didn’t expect Su Yuan to be so professional!”

Veteran Zhang Zhan was also a little ashamed.

Just now he kept saying that Su Yuan just barely passed this wave because he didn’t build a shelter.

But now, no matter how simple the shelter Su Yuan built is, it exists!

The host spoke in time to break the awkwardness:

“It seems that Su Yuan is very foresighted!”

“But I’m curious about one thing, how long did it take him to build this shelter?”

“Can you two help me analyze this?”

Come to the field you are good at.

Zhu Wei took the lead and said:

“Well, from the perspective of the shelter’s structure, the construction method is relatively simple.”

“Su Yuan used tree trunks to build the roof structure, saving a lot of steps.”

“But this also takes a lot of time for a person, especially for someone without experience!”

“If it were me, I would be able to build it within three hours!”

“As for Su Yuan… I think it will take him at least four hours to build it!”

As soon as these words came out.

The barrage of comments suddenly made me feel nauseous.

Just analyze it, why are you pulling and stepping on others?
You are saying without any evidence that you took less time than Su Yuan. Are you showing off?

At this time, Zhang Zhan shook his head and said:

“I have a different opinion!”

“You see, the structure and construction method of this shelter is indeed quite pleasing, but the rope is a real rope, not made of vine skin or tree bark or something like that!”

“This shows that in the activity of building a regular shelter with bare hands, the most time-consuming and laborious task of ‘making ropes’ was replaced by Su Yuan using ropes picked up from the garbage on the beach!”

“It definitely helped him save a lot of time!”

After a pause, Zhang Zhan continued:
“In addition, let’s analyze it from the perspective of Su Yuan collecting food.”

“It’s half past six now. When do you think he started going to the sea to collect so much seafood?”

Hearing this, the host groaned:
“I think, with so much seafood and two sea fish…”

“Su Yuan will take at least two or three hours, right?”

After being refuted by Zhang Zhan, Zhu Wei did not react and said:
“About that, two or three hours is reasonable.”

Zhang Zhan nodded and said:
“Let’s see. The survival mission started at 10 a.m. and it has been eight and a half hours now.”

“During this period, Su Yuan completed the following three activities:”

“Travel through the jungle alone; build shelter; gather food;”

“The program team has tested it in advance and found that the best route for female contestants to cross the jungle will take about four hours.”

“Su Yuan’s island is smaller than the female contestant’s island. Let’s assume that it took him three and a half hours to cross there. Is that reasonable?”

The host and Zhu Wei nodded in unison.

Zhang Zhan continued to analyze:
“Then the result is obvious, isn’t it?”

“It took Su Yuan three and a half hours to cross the jungle, and two or three hours to collect food!”

“Then it will only take three hours at most to build the shelter!”

“This is just a rough calculation. It doesn’t take into account the time Su Yuan spent resting or getting lost!”

“The real time, maybe even less!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Wei fell into an awkward situation again.

He kept saying that he could build the shelter within three hours, and Su Yuan would need at least four hours. But now after this analysis, it is very likely that Su Yuan also built it within three hours.

This is fucking awesome… one slap in the face after another!
The host stepped out again to smooth things over:
“Wow! So, you can really learn a lot from watching survival shows!”

“Su Yuan is an inexperienced newbie, but he has adapted to life on a deserted island so quickly!”

“And even the speed of building the shelter is almost as fast as that of Zhu Wei. It’s so terrifying!”

“So, audience friends, please be sure to lock in our live broadcast room!”

“Maybe you are the next Su Yuan!”

Upon hearing this, the comments suddenly became chaotic.

There were people who bet that Su Yuan would be able to survive for seven days and win the 100,000 yuan grand prize;

Some ridiculed Zhu Wei, the so-called survival expert;

There are also people preparing to sign up for the second season of the show.

At this time, in the picture, Su Yuan put the food on the ground of the shelter and left the camera to retrieve a bunch of things.

Among them was a tin can with a diameter almost as long as my forearm, and many mineral water bottles.

He placed random water bottles around the shelter, using the shelter’s ‘roof’ to collect rainwater that ran down.

Then he started sweeping the floor.

Just when everyone was curious about his next move.

Su Yuan took out the prepared dry firewood and tinder from behind his butt and started preparing to make a fire.

This moment amazed the host, guests, and commentators.

Wow, Su Yuan’s performance doesn’t seem like a novice at all!
The host said: “Su Yuan has considered everything very carefully!”

Zhu Wei: “Yeah, it’s really unexpected…”

Zhang Zhan: “If he succeeds in starting a fire, his performance on the first day will almost be a perfect score…”

Both guests had mixed feelings.

A previous analysis said that Su Yuan had no shelter and could not make a fire, so his risk of illness was greater than that of the female contestants.

Now, Su Yuan slapped them in the face step by step.

It’s really a bit embarrassing!
Under the live broadcast lens.

Su Yuan’s action of preparing to make a fire was clearly conveyed to many viewers.

For a moment, everyone on the barrage was wondering whether Su Yuan could actually start a fire.

“It’s not that I don’t approve of Su Yuan, I think the probability of his success is very small on a rainy day like this!”

“That’s right, when Master De was fighting alone in the wilderness, he failed many times in the rainy environment!”

“I think we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Anyone who has questioned Wilson Su has been slapped in the face!”

“I won’t be slapped in the face this time!”

“How would Su Yuan make a fire? The most primitive way of drilling wood to make fire?”

“Of course he does. How else could he start a fire? He could have used some tricks at best!”

“How to do it?”

“For example, you can use shoelaces and branches to make a drill device, which can avoid injury to your palms and save a lot of effort!”

“Just wait and see, I think Su Yuan will give people a surprise!”

“What surprises can there be in starting a fire?”

In the discussion of barrage.

Preparations for making a fire are complete.

It’s not too complicated. You just use an engineer shovel to chop some dry and flammable firewood into thinner and smaller pieces so that they are easier to ignite.

Then mix some weed tinder with the tiniest bits of wood and get ready for Mars.

After seeing this scene, the audience became even more confused.

There is no stick for drilling wood, and there is no wood underneath that is being drilled.

How on earth was Su Yuan going to make a fire?

Don’t suddenly take out a lighter!
This is a real survival show, with wild lighters and all that, I don’t accept that at all!
Just when everyone was wondering and looking forward to it.

Su Yuanshui cleverly took out an object from the inside pocket of his clothes.

The host, the two guests, and the tens of thousands of viewers in front of the screen suddenly widened their eyes!
No, what about the agreement to make fire by rubbing two sticks together?
Su Yuan you!
Why did you take out such a broken cell phone? !

What is this going to do?
Where did the phone come from?
