Chapter 507 Natural Water Storage Tank
Erdan is right. There are indeed people in Africa who were infected with the Ebola virus after eating monkey meat. It is understood that the Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is closely related to monkeys.
Rumor has it that an Orion man in the Democratic Republic of the Congo hunted and killed a monkey and shared the monkey meat with his family. Not long after, all the family members died. This is not all. There are even some hunters who were close to the family but did not
People who ate monkey meat also experienced inexplicably high fevers, along with other signs of Ebola infection.
There is a longer story about the relationship between monkeys and Ebola. In 1989, the Primate Quarantine Center in Reston, Virginia, received 100 monkeys from the tropical rainforest of the Philippine Monkey Country in South Asia.
The monkeys were prepared for use in drug and vaccine research. But later, all of these monkeys died, and their symptoms before death were exactly the same as those of monkeys infected with Ebola virus today.
High fever, rashes on various body surfaces, and various other things. At that time, the Bricks called Animals isolated a filovirus from the body of a dead monkey, which is now the Ebola virus. Fortunately, at that time, Ebola virus
The Ebola virus has not spread in the United States, otherwise, the history of the United States will be accidentally rewritten, because until now, humans have been unable to deal with the Ebola virus, and they would have been even more unable to deal with the Ebola virus in the last century.
Alice continued Erdan's words: "These monkeys are so alive and full of original ecological atmosphere. How can they be infected with the Ebola virus? How about killing one of them and giving you a tooth punch?"
Erdan stared at the prey at his feet, a lion and a zebra, and said: "If I hadn't killed the lion and the zebra, I might have killed a monkey and beat its teeth as a sacrifice. Now millions of people in Africa don't have enough to eat.
I can’t be extravagant and wasteful. Alice, don’t you think so?”
With that said, Erdan stood up on the top of the flying saucer, then threw his arms and threw the two prey to the ground. When the lion landed on the ground, all the monkeys in the Bread Forest ran away in fear and ran away without stopping.
Running away is a natural fear of facing the king of the grassland.
After the monkey left, the whole world became quiet.
It's not that easy for Erdan to eat barbecue. First, he has to skin the lions and zebras. This process will inevitably lead to blood all over the floor and make it dirty. At this moment, he is holding the butcher knife transformed from Jigong Fan and looks at it.
Seeing two big prey, I suddenly felt like I couldn't kill them.
If Jigong knew that his fan was being used as a butcher's knife, he would be so angry that he would crawl out of the coffin and find Li Erdan to settle the score.
At this time, Alice suggested: "Brother Erdan, there is no need to disembowel the entire prey. A lion's hind legs and a zebra's hind legs are enough for you to eat."
Erdan still had a sad face, "Then I still have to peel it? But there is no water here, it's too cheating."
Alice smiled sweetly: "Who said there is no water? Didn't I just tell you that the baobab tree is a natural water storage tank. If you don't believe it, just poke it in with a knife and you will know. If what the data says is true, there will be water flow.
When it comes out, it's clear and clear, sweet and refreshing."
The African savannah does not have obvious four seasons, but the dry season and the rainy season are very distinct. The dry season has little rain and can even turn the grassland into a desert, while the rainy season has lots of rain. It rains without stopping for a month. The entire grassland will be like the Yellow River flooding.
Out of control. Plants in the grassland want to survive the dry season, but no one is good at it.
His ability is not good. Although the baobab tree looks tall and strong, it is actually strong on the outside and dry on the inside. It is hard on the outside and soft on the inside. The wood is as soft as a sponge, and its rhizomes are as developed as those of Populus euphratica in our Chinese deserts, covering dozens of meters in radius.
The range of rhizomes, well-developed rhizomes and trunks are particularly suitable for water storage.
During the rainy season, the baobab tree will use its thick body and well-developed rhizomes to store water. After absorbing the water, it will bloom and bear fruit. During the dry season, in order to reduce the evaporation of water, the baobab tree will
The leaves are stripped. At this time, you only need to use a knife to dig a small hole in the baobab tree, and the sweet and refreshing water will gush out.
Erdan didn't quite believe that the baobab tree was so magical, but he still approached the baobab tree with a butcher knife. Alice also opened her eyes wide, waiting for the moment when a miracle would happen.
This baobab tree was too thick, its bark was black, as old as a fossil, and it looked very hard. So when Erdan stabbed the trunk with a butcher knife, he used all his strength. He heard a pop.
With a sound, the entire butcher knife blade was inserted into the tree.
Erdan sweated violently and said: "It's so strong on the outside but it's hard on the inside! It didn't take much force to penetrate."
What Erdan said is not entirely correct. First of all, he used enough strength and the two butcher knives were sharp enough. If it were an ordinary person, it would be difficult to penetrate with an ordinary knife, because the bark of the baobab tree is not very strong.
As soft as the wood inside.
Then, Erdan pulled out the knife from the tree. A stream of water spurted out from the edge of the knife, splashing water all over Erdan.
"There is really water in the tree. It deserves its reputation. It really deserves its reputation." Erdan praised sincerely.
"Take a sip and taste it to see if it's sweet or not." Alice encouraged.
Erdan immediately bent over and stretched his mouth to the gap made by the butcher knife in the tree, so that the water could just spray into his mouth.
"Is it sweet?" Alice asked again.
He smacked his balls and said, "That's it! It smells weird." Suddenly, he frowned, sniffed his nose hard, and said, "Hey, why do I smell the stench of rotten flesh?
Woolen cloth?"
"Uh, no, right? The lion and zebra died not long ago. They are fine. There is no sign of decay at all." Alice said puzzled.
Erdan stared at the baobab tree because the rancid smell seemed to come from this tree. He frowned and said, "There is something weird about this tree."
This baobab tree is seven meters in diameter and looks like a wall. Erdan quickly walked around the tree towards the other side, and the Kukulkan UFO also slowly moved towards the tree.
Fly away on the other side.
When Erdan walked to the other side of the tree, he discovered an interesting scene. There was a large hole in the trunk, which was in the shape of an elongated oval. It was two meters long at the longest point and a little over a meter wide at the widest point, and it was at the edge.
There are also raised pleats.
Li Erdan gave full play to his imagination and always felt that this hole was similar to a very private part of a lesbian's body. In fact, Li Erdan didn't notice that the thick trunk of this tree was similar to a certain part of his body.
Quite similar.
