Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness
Chapter 334: Advanced WelderBi Fang looked up as he walked into the vast space, like an ant creeping into the Forbidden City in the dead of night.
The sound of his steps echoed unhurriedly through the empty factory.
[Isn’t Old Fang in a hurry? Won’t the explosion just now attract other people?]
[Add one, shouldn’t he hurry to grab something and slip away at this time?]
“It’s alright.”
Bi Fang shook his head, seemingly unconcerned, or perhaps he had anticipated this.
“Describing Yemen with a small explosion every three hours and a big one every five hours isn’t an exaggeration. Moreover, it’s just rained, and everyone is exhausted at such times. It’s a period when few creatures are active, an instinct engraved in DNA. I took advantage of this very fact to dare to make such a big scene; otherwise, taking such a big risk just to show you an explosion wouldn’t be worth it.”
Shuiyou were amused, remembering Bi Fang’s recent jests about not missing out as he passed by.
Bi Fang left out one detail, for some reason, neither the rebels nor the military had really entered the center of Yimen City. Just some rogue bandit gangs wouldn’t normally venture close to such dangerous places; figuring out the cause of an explosion wasn’t their concern—there wasn’t a need.
People cherish their lives.The normal reaction upon seeing an explosion is to steer clear, and the bandit gangs did the same. In cases where people flock to such events, they are mostly in safe cities.
Those living in Yimen would never do so.
After spending half an hour making his way through a large part of the factory, Bi Fang figured out the layout. He stopped in his tracks, excitedly looking at the room in front of him.
Shuiyou were puzzled and didn’t understand why Bi Fang started to smile inexplicably upon reaching this spot, until he moved a box to stand on and wiped the dust-coated sign on the room’s door.
Defense Department!
It was an English sign, but the drone’s footage automatically provided appropriate translations based on the different zones it filmed.
[Holy shit, is this a security office?]
[What security? It’s called the Defense Department, look at that name, it’s so international.]
[…Isn’t this in English? It’s all about translation, blame the translator!]
[Stagehand: I’ll take the blame for this one!]
[There really is one!]
[Damn, hurry up and see what goods are inside, could there be guns? I really want to know! Ahhhh!]
Upon spotting the possibility of there being weapons and equipment, Shuiyou were incredibly excited, almost wishing they could kick the door down themselves and start looting.
Unfortunately.
Bi Fang turned the doorknob, but it didn’t budge.
Still locked.
Taking two steps back, Bi Fang suddenly charged forward and slammed his shoulder against the door.
A loud bang ensued, but aside from dislodging a bit of dust, nothing happened—the door seemed impregnable.
[Is this where we go for another round of explosions?]
[Demolition maniac·Master Fang.gif]
[Wow, it’s not jpg anymore, huh? We’ve moved on to gifs?]
[When I’ve got money, I’ll definitely buy a phone that can display images]
[Viewing Wolf Fang’s live streaming with image support, any day now!]
Bi Fang looked around, shook his head, and dashed the hopes of Shuiyou wanting to see another explosion.
“We can’t blow it up again. Inside the factory is not like outside—there are many miscellaneous items around. If we were to blow it up, we’d have to clean up first, which is troublesome and not worth it.” ℝἈ₦Ố𝐛ËṢ
[Ah, then what do we do?]
A Shuiyou timely played the straight man. Though anxious, seeing the confident look on Bi Fang’s face, they knew he must have had a plan in mind.
“We could burn through the lock!”
Bi Fang made a startling suggestion.
“The factory surely has its power shut off by now. We can’t use many facilities, but there is one thing we can still utilize. Remember the acetylene and oxygen cylinders outside the workshop? We can actually use them normally. Just take an acetylene torch, you can burn through the lock with it. The advantage of acetylene welding is that it doesn’t need electricity; in places with poor power supply, when you need to weld, acetylene becomes very useful because you can just adjust the bottle pressure to release the gas, and it’s ready to go with a spark.”
The audience was startled by Bi Fang’s idea, then found it ridiculous.
Use it normally?
So you admit that wasn’t the normal way to use it, right?
If you could do this earlier, why did you start with blowing things up?
Bi Fang scratched his head and laughed, “Well, I didn’t have a gas welding gun, did I? It was good enough to find the cylinders, but without a gun, I couldn’t weld.”
After circling the factory, Bi Fang followed his memory to a certain place. If he remembered correctly, the gas pipeline was laid out just behind this wall.
Following the gas pipes that extended from outside the wall, Bi Fang found many acetylene cylinders and oxygen cylinders again. He picked two with sufficient gas and pressure, and he also found several tubes and a welding gun.
The items were heavy, so Bi Fang moved them onto a cart and pushed it to the front door of the Defense Department, and began to connect the equipment.
His skilled actions left the viewers amazed. Was this what they called a jack-of-all-trades?
He even knows how to weld?
[I really want to open up Master Fang’s head and see what’s packed in there]
[Count me in, that’s just outrageous! He knows how to weld, is there anything you can’t do except give birth?]
[Learn your math and science well, and you’ll be fearless wherever you go. The ancients didn’t lie to us]
[When the apocalypse comes, I’m certain Old Fang would be the last man standing]
“Haha, it never hurts to have too many skills. I had a friend who was in welding. I learned a bit from him.”
After Bi Fang finished setting up the equipment, he opened the main valve of the oxygen cylinder and adjusted the output pressure to 0.3—0.5Mpa, then he opened the main valve of the gas cylinder and adjusted its output pressure to 0.3—0.5Mpa as well.
He even showed his Shuiyou the whole process, explaining and demonstrating, seemingly really wanting to teach them…
“Turn on the welder’s gas valve, and next you use an open flame to light the tip of the welder. I forgot to get a light earlier, so now we have to start a fire again. This time I’ll teach you a new method without using antifreeze.”
Bi Fang set down the welding gun and took out potassium permanganate from his bag, but this time, instead of taking out antifreeze, he took out a small glass bottle filled with white granules.
He opened the lid, poured a bit into the palm of his hand, and swallowed it in front of everyone.
[Good grief, Master Fang is snorting white powder!]
[…]
[What’s that stuff? Salt?]
“It’s white sugar, bet you didn’t see that coming.”
Bi Fang broke off two pieces of wood from a table, poured some potassium permanganate and white sugar on the wood, and explained.
“Potassium permanganate can produce heat and release oxygen when it comes into contact with organic substances or friction, leading to combustion. We mix one part sugar and two parts potassium permanganate, then grind it between the dry pieces of wood. If the weather is dry, the wood will catch fire very quickly, and the method is short and effective. It takes just a few minutes.”
“Oh, and I forgot to mention earlier, potassium permanganate is a strong corrosive. You shouldn’t touch it directly with your hands to prevent skin burns. You should only handle it directly when it’s diluted to a safe concentration. In both instances, I didn’t use my hands – once I poured it on a sponge, and this time, on wood. Not sure if you noticed.”
Bi Fang took another piece of wood and covered it on top, then started to rub. In no time at all, he could feel the wood beginning to heat up.
In less than a minute, smoke started to appear, and in just three minutes, he had successfully started a flame.
The viewers were astounded once again.
“That’s why you should always keep potassium permanganate at home. It’s truly a great thing: it can clean wounds and purify water. When collecting water outdoors, add three or four grains to 1 liter of water, and it’s drinkable after 30 minutes. It can even be used to mark your trail if you get lost in the snow.”
“Especially when you accidentally ingest plant toxins outdoors, it’s crucial to wash out your stomach quickly to reduce the absorption of toxic substances. A simple method is to use a potassium permanganate solution with a concentration between 1:1000 and 1:4000 for stomach washing. Plus, it’s easy to prepare the correct concentration; you just go by the color – it should be light purple or light red.
If the solution turns purple or dark purple, its concentration has reached 1:100—1:200, which is highly concentrated and can lead to corrosion of the stomach lining, and absolutely cannot be used for stomach washing. So safety first with its use.”
Bi Fang spoke at length about its benefits; he only briefly mentioned it before, but now he seriously explained it.
[Holy crap, it’s that useful?]
[I was so scared I immediately ordered three boxes of potassium permanganate to eat like food]
[That said, who are you advertising for? (Dog’s head)]
[Advertising? My fists got harder!]
With a flame now available, Bi Fang brought the welding gun close and like lighting a match, a flame of orange-yellow burst forth from the tip of the welding gun.
He opened the welding gun’s oxygen valve and finally adjusted the oxygen control knob and the gas control knob.
With the oxygen supply, the temperature of the flame soared rapidly, and soon the blazing light blue flame revitalized everyone’s spirit.
Bi Fang, holding the welding gun, moved to the front door and directed the heat at the doorknob. Before long, the knob began to glow red and soften.
Incredible!
Is this what a high-level welder looks like?
