After chatting and eating a sumptuous lunch, the group brought their things and started work.
They were there to work, not to sightsee.
The most enthusiastic were the villagers that Li Du and the others had captured. This time, they had brought six people with them to look for meteorites. After all, it was not a technical task.
When these people heard that they were going to work, they immediately carried their backpacks and set off with searchlights. They were very serious along the way, staring at the ground and not letting go of a single stone.
The reason for this was that they were eating and drinking with Li Du and the others. Every meal had barbecued meat, stewed meat, fish, shrimp, and beer. Their living conditions were much better than in the village.
They wanted to perform well so that they could stay and continue to eat and drink.
Li Du had already searched the surrounding area. He asked young Ford to divide the group into teams, divide them into areas, and then carry out a plowing search.
Young Ford sighed after arranging the people and said, "It's time to start the most boring work."
Li Du said, "What can you guys find when you look for meteorites? Honestly, I only know that we can analyze the composition, but what does this have to do with the fifth dimension that you guys are looking for? "
Young Ford said, "It's a long story. If you want to hear it, I have to tell you from the beginning. It involves the origin of species and the time of the universe …"
Li Du got a headache when he heard that. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, the unsolved mystery that you guys are researching is too profound. I'd better not understand it and just work for you guys."
Young Ford did not like his attitude, but Li Du had helped them a lot, so he did not say much.
The more he got to know Li Du, the more he realized that Li Du was very capable. In fact, he hoped that Li Du would join their team.
So he pulled Li Du aside and said, "Aren't you curious? We are looking for something that can change the history of mankind and even the entire universe! "
Li Du looked at him and said, "I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it. It's not a nice thing to say, but I don't want to say it."
Young Ford said, "Go ahead."
Li Du said, "If an ant said that it could change the current structure of the human world, would you believe it?"
Young Ford immediately understood what he meant and said with a smile, "If it can really say that, then I believe it."
Li Du smiled helplessly. He felt that this group of people had fallen into a trap.
Young Ford no longer wanted to convince him. He only said, "Actually, we're not really pursuing this to change human history or explore the truth of the universe. We just want to use the Fifth Dimension to change some of the mistakes we've made or the people and things we've missed out on."
Li Du shook his head and said, "I just want to enjoy this good time. Why do I have to go back to the past or know what the future will be like? As long as we enjoy the present, isn't that good enough? "
Little Ford smiled. "Then I wish you all the best."
Li Du turned around and nodded at him. "I wish you the best too, buddy."
He released the space-time bugs, and the two bugs quickly searched the area.
Compared to the others, he traversed the widest area. He walked forward normally, while the two flying insects expanded to the left and right respectively.
Based on the flying speed of the flying insects, they could cover a distance of one to two kilometers. Therefore, as long as Li Du walked forward for one kilometer, he would be able to cover one to two square kilometers in that time.
Brother Wolf walked with him, and then they searched the ground for edible wild vegetables.
He explained to Li Du, "This job is very simple. You just have to find and identify their species. However, this is also very difficult. Not to mention the complexity of the identification work, it is not easy to find them, right?"
Li Du said, "What's so difficult about finding them? At ten o'clock, a hundred meters away, there is a pile of lichen. Right in front of us, do you see it? There are some weeds there, and at two o'clock, if you look carefully, you can find a shrub there. This shrub seems to have tubers … "
Brother Wolf ran and then squatted down in front of the small shrub he saw. He dug out a few things that looked like small eggs from it.
When he came back with these things, he said in surprise, "Boss, your vision is amazing."
Li Du said, "So if I had your knowledge of wild plants, I could be the king of survival in the wild."
Brother Wolf was convinced. He said, "This knowledge can be learned and accumulated. Let me tell you the general idea first. Some edible plants, although not poisonous, have almost no nutritional value. So to survive in the wild, you have to know which plants have which kinds of nutrients in order to have a balanced diet.
"Plants contain essential vitamins and minerals, and are rich in protein and carbohydrates. Some species also contain fat, and all species contain cellulose … "
He held up the tubers in his hand and said, "For example, this is a kind of nightshade plant. I don't know exactly what it is, because the wild plants we learn are for Europe. There are many things outside of Europe that I don't know."
"Can it be eaten?" Li Du asked. "How do you judge?"
Brother Wolf said, "If you are alone in the wild and see this kind of plant that you don't know about, let it go. Don't provoke it. If you have a companion or a team like now, then you can be more daring and try it!"
He wiped it clean, handed it to Li Du, and said, "Take a bite."
Li Du looked at him suspiciously and said, "We are not here to take risks, man. I mean, if you don't know what this thing is, then let's be honest."
He was not willing to take risks. Anyway, he had already admitted that he was not adventurous.
Brother Wolf took a bite and said, "Actually, it's okay. If you feel something is wrong, just stimulate your throat and vomit it out. I also prepared charcoal ash, which is the most common emetic in the wild. Swallowing a small amount of charcoal will induce vomiting, and it can also absorb toxins. "
As he spoke, he took out a small bag, which contained the charcoal ash he had collected at noon.
After chewing twice, Brother Wolf spat out the thing in his mouth and then threw away the rest of the tubers.
"What's wrong?" Li Du asked.
Brother Wolf shook his head and said, "You can't eat it. It contains hydrocyanic acid, which is poisonous. Anything related to it can't be eaten."
When the little ones saw Brother Wolf throw away the things, they ran over and sniffed it, then left without interest.
Seeing this, Li Du suddenly had an idea. "Actually, it is not that difficult to survive in the wild. Can't we just let Ah Meow and the others try it?"
Sophie, who was next to him, teased, "You really are their biological father."
Brother Wolf laughed and said, "That is indeed a good idea. Wild animals have a deep intuition about plants. If the plant is poisonous, even if they have never seen it before, they can roughly tell by smelling it."
Li Du called Ah Meow and the others to his side, casually grabbed a handful of wild grass and placed it in front of them. He said, "Come, try a hundred herbs. Today, I'll give you a chance to show off."
