The short tribal visitor, with a delighted smile on his darkened face, asked me.

"Do you really agree to place the fire source here?"

My ranch is so big that it is more than enough to put a fire source. Even if I move all the fire from their tribe, it should be able to put it, right?

"Of course. I'd be very grateful if you were willing to help me set up the fire. How could you object?"

After repeated confirmations, the tribal visitors finally came to the center of the bonfire. They dug a shallow tunnel in the middle of the bonfire, covered it with stones, covered it with soil, and refilled it into a flat shape.

There is only a trace of a ventilation hole that is invisible to the naked eye.

This is a clever way to set up a fire. By reserving ventilation pipes, the oxygen supply at the bottom of the campfire can be ensured. As we all know, air will evaporate and rise due to heat. The center of the fire is often the highest temperature, and the air quickly

After rising, an oxygen-free zone will appear, affecting combustion efficiency.

This anoxic zone is also an important reason for the death of humans and wild animals caused by forest fires. Even moles, rabbits and other burrowing creatures will die of lack of oxygen if they hide underground and escape the flames.

asphyxia.

The reservation of this kind of tunnel can ensure the oxygen content in the center of the bonfire. After the hot air in the central area rises, the cold air is transported to the center of the flame through the tunnel, forming a good circulation to ensure the combustion efficiency of the bonfire.

But the ignition steps I imagined did not start immediately. After the tribal visitors prepared these pre-processes, they instead put down the natural flints in their hands, retreated to the center of the venue, took a piece of charcoal with great care, and placed it on the ground.

A hexagonal shape.

"What are you doing?"

I couldn't help but ask, is the step to ignite the fire not to light the fuse, but to set up a fuse? Isn't this too strange? Where did the hard-core arms tribe come from?

The tribal visitor was carefully arranging the hexagon while answering me: "I am setting up prayer points for prayer."

I didn’t expect that igniting fire is so complicated in the tribe. Not only do we need to prepare materially, but we also need to prepare spiritually. One hand is material and the other is ideological...

Okay, this is very Soviet!.jpg

The tribal visitors wear animal skins and have many small braids on their heads. They look a bit like Indians. But on the contrary, the tribe's technology can be seen as a projection of the technological era, unlike the kind that resembles those of the technological era.

A backward place where there is absolutely no communication with the outside world.

Therefore, the scene I imagined of dancing weird dances and cheering around the fire did not appear. The man just lay quietly in the center of the hexagon, praying silently in the direction of the sun.

From this point, we can see that the Brown Pool tribe does not treat lighting prayers as a sacrificial ritual, but should pass it on as a religious custom, just like Christians in previous lives prayed to God before meals.

After the man finished praying, stood up from the ground, and continued to build a large bonfire around the fire, I continued to ask.

"What does that sign on the ground mean? Is it a sign from the gods?"

The tribal visitor glanced at me sideways and said, "Do you still believe in gods and false idols?"

Guest, you are wrong. In this world, there are not only people who worship false idols, but also people who worship virtual idols and marry paper wives...

"Sorry I was abrupt, what about this one?"

"This is our tribe's symbol, the six-sided flower. The symbol left by the tribe's original ancestors."

I took a closer look and found that this hexagon was not the pointed shape of ice snowflakes, but on the protrusion of the hexagon, there was a dot drawn with charcoal powder, forming a pattern of angular flowers.

.

"That's the totem of the tribe, right?"

"You can understand it that way."

The tribal visitors quickly took medium-length branches and set up the edges of the bonfire. Such a fire should be able to keep burning for a long time.

"let's start."

The guest of the tribe said calmly, and put a ball of tinder on the ground, mixed with the powder of horseshoe fungus. The man took the natural flint and lightly touched it, and two tiny sparks shot out from the place where the stone was struck.

He came out and jumped into the tinder like a spirit.

This tinder is a mixture of dried plant leaves, wood chips, and horsefoot fungus powder. It is very flammable in itself. As soon as a spark comes into contact with the tinder, it ignites the horsefoot fungus powder first, giving birth to

There were some light blue flames, shining like will-o'-the-wisps among the dead leaves.

These inconspicuous fires quickly generated enough heat. After scorching some of the dead leaves, the fire quickly spread to the center.

The tribal visitor placed the tinder in the shadow and looked at it, confirming that the flames inside were spreading steadily, and then blew gently into it.

The moment oxygen entered, the hidden flames in the tinder seemed to be frightened and rippled. However, the next second, it immediately began to grow wantonly like weeds that had absorbed enough nutrients.

The ball of tinder in the hands of the tribal visitor soon turned into a small burning fireball. The man's hand changed the grip point to prevent burns.

The man did not hesitate, walked into the fire in three steps at a time, put the tinder into the gap in the fire, quickly covered the gap with the prepared dry wood chips, then lowered himself and blew into it.

Angry.

The entry of air quickly played a role in supporting combustion. The tinder pile was composed of some firewood branches that were relatively resistant to burning. The changes were not obvious during the tinder baking process. Although a few places were successfully ignited, they failed to spread to the entire area.

The result of this situation is that the flammable tinder is probably burned out, and the heat is not enough to completely ignite the tinder.

The ignition pile could not be ignited, so there was not enough heat to ignite the huge bonfire outside. However, the tribal visitor did not rush, took out a handful of charcoal powder from the magical animal skin pocket, and sprinkled it into the ignition pile.

among.

After these flammable materials were added, a bright fireball quickly formed between the tinder pile and the tinder, and the heat of the flame even spread in front of me.

With this help, the ignition pile was completely ignited and began to burn steadily and continuously, releasing the contained heat.

The tinder quickly burned out and turned into a pile of ashes with scattered sparks. The air flowing with the heat was stirred up into a burst of black smoke, soaring into the sky, revealing the ventilation holes under the ashes!

Under the action of air circulation, cold air is continuously poured in from the outside along the ventilation holes, turning into a powerful catalyst that promotes the flames in the center of the bonfire to flourish.

Soon, layers of firewood burned in an orderly manner under the ingenious arrangements of the tribe's visitors, turning a tight firewood pile into a fire rising into the sky!

During the day, the light of the flame was not easy to see. Only the scorching temperature approached us standing by the campfire in a real way, causing our skin to ache. Moreover, I also observed that the ashes of the flame were rising into the sky.

On the sky, a thick black smoke formed, standing straight in the clear sky, and it could probably be seen from far away.

"The wood is a little wet and there will be smoke."

The guests of the tribe were analyzing calmly and seemed to be considering how to further improve. But I suddenly remembered something...
