The storm has completely passed and the sky is blue.

Huo Yu sat in the courtyard of the 249 scientific research station and asked Bai Xiaomo next to him: "Are you ready?"

"Ready." Bai Xiaomo held his pink fist and cheered himself up.

Huo Yu took out the camouflaged black ball from his backpack, controlled it into the air, connected it to the tablet, and started live broadcasting.

A large number of viewers and fans flocked in, and the barrages were constantly refreshed on the tablet screen. The number was so large that it was difficult for each one to stay for a second.

Huo Yu felt uncomfortable looking at the tablet. The previous barrages were directly displayed on a transparent screen in front of his eyes. This was the first time he used a tablet to watch the barrages.

"The Yu Family Army is arriving!"

"Master Yu, how's the injured Ice Keeper doing?"

"Yu Ye Sai Gao!"

"Grandpa, I finally waited until Master Yu started broadcasting. I did what you asked me to do!"

"Sexy dealer, dealing cards online..."

Huo Yu's face turned dark and he said angrily: "The house manager, kick the guy who posted the advertisement!"

There has never been a room manager in the live broadcast room, and the operation of kicking and muting people has always been carried out by the system alone. However, since Bai Xiaomo was around today, Huo Yu had to cover it up to some extent.

"Don't worry, everyone. Thanks to your help, the treatment is going well. Captain Jiao is out of danger and is resting upstairs."

Several emergency doctors who were watching silently in front of the screen laughed happily.

"Captain Jiao is still recuperating, so let's not disturb her. A guest came to the live broadcast room today, Bai Xiaomo, the director of the 099 scientific research station." Huo Yu came to Bai Xiaomo who was standing aside, "Xiao Mo, follow Let’s all say hello.”

During the first live broadcast, Bai Xiaomo was somewhat nervous, with a stiff smile on his face, and he said to the camera seriously: "Hello everyone, I am Bai Xiaomo, the director of the Icekeeper Station 099 scientific research station in the North Pole. "

Fans were excited when they saw the super-looking and awesome Bai Xiaomo appear in front of the camera.

"The screen is sweet, don't stop me!"

"Damn it, old thief Huo actually has such work benefits?"

"Little sister, how did you manage to perfectly match my aesthetic point?"

"I don't know why, but I think Webmaster Bai is right."

"Yan Zhili!"

Huo Yu looked at Bai Xiaomo next to him with confusion. Could it be that she was very good-looking?

Except that I can't see my toes when I lower my head, I can't see anything else.

"Don't tease Webmaster Bai. Those who say they want to lick the screen should be careful!" Huo Yu said with a serious face, "Webmaster Bai joined the job four years earlier than me, but she is already senior. Everyone must respect her."

Bai Xiaomo's face froze next to him.

Huo Yu's live broadcast room has always been the top streamer on the live broadcast platform. Coupled with yesterday's blizzard rescue incident, and now that it has just started broadcasting, the popularity of the live broadcast room has easily exceeded one million.

The audience in Huo Yu's live broadcast room are all real people, not a single robot, well... the system doesn't count.

"Okay, okay." Huo Yu saw that the number of people had almost increased, so he said, "Today, in order to welcome Stationmaster Bai to the 249 Scientific Research Station, we will have a bonfire party in the evening. There is still less than half of the deer. Bai Station It eats a lot, so I’ll try to get rid of it as much as possible today.”

Bai Xiaomo:? ? ?

Well said, I won’t be allowed to say it next time!

"Because two guests came to the 249 Research Station, today's fire-making method is quite special. I am going to use a fire-making method widely used by wilderness survivors, the 'Swedish Torch' fire-making method."

The Swedish torch fire method, known as camping light, is an extremely efficient cooking campfire.

The Swedish torch method was first used by the Swedish army during the Thirty Years' War. This type of bonfire only requires one log as raw material and can be used normally even if the ground is wet or covered with rain or snow.

In the wild, when wood resources are limited, this is a cost-effective cooking campfire.

Huo Yu took out three logs as thick as a washbasin from behind.

Bai Xiaomo looked shocked and said, "Where did you get so much wood?"

Seeing Huo Yu glance guiltily at the wooden post behind him, Bai Xiaomo felt bad.

"You demolished the scientific research station just to have a barbecue?"

Huo Yu smiled. It was really difficult for him to explain to Bai Xiaomo.

These pieces of wood were all building materials that fell off during the system renovation of the outpost. Huo Yu felt that it would be a pity to let these building materials be discarded, so he simply picked out some intact pieces of wood and kept them.

"Don't worry about those details." Huo Yu changed the subject with a straight face, "The most important thing in building a Swedish torch is to use dry wood. The wood that has just been cut is full of moisture and difficult to burn. The ones I chose are just like these. very good."

Huo Yu placed the log in front of the camera and took out a hatchet.

“First, stand the log upright and use an ax to cut the log into quarters or sixths.”

"Never cut all the way to the bottom, leave some distance underneath so that the entire log remains intact. This makes it easier to transport and maintains the original structure, making it easier for the fire to burn."

While explaining to the audience, Huo Yu used the short-handled ax in his hand to cut the circular section on the log into six equal pieces.

This step sounds simple, but in fact it is difficult to get started.

Most people use a chainsaw to cut because they lack the strength to do this step.

"Use an ax to chop the inside edges of the wood into rough wood chips. When burning, the embers fall into the wood and these rough wood chips act as a natural accelerant."

"In order to prevent the wood from breaking due to being roasted by the fire, it is best to use iron wire to hoop the upper part of the log."

After tying the logs with wire, a simple 'Swedish Torch' is completed.

"Although we have many ways to make campfires in the wild, the Swedish torch has its unique advantages in cooking."

"During use, wood can burn efficiently, and simple processing of logs can produce directional flames that burn from the inside out."

Huo Yu followed the same pattern and finished processing the three log blocks in one go, arranging them neatly in front of him.

Bai Xiaomo looked at Huo Yu curiously with her big eyes flashing. Even though she was experienced, she didn't understand this interesting method of making fire.

The instructors, mainly the ice guards, would never have imagined that someone would tear out the wood from the house just to have a barbecue.

"In order to prevent the smoke from burning flames from polluting the Arctic, I will use this portable smoker for this barbecue."

Huo Yu pointed to the machine beside him and explained to the audience.

This smoke machine was also redeemed from the system, the price is not expensive, the 5W is acceptable, and the performance is excellent.

Barbecue is barbecue, but if your appetite causes damage to the Arctic environment, then the gain outweighs the loss.

"Okay, let's get down to business, now let's try to light a fire."

Stuff some sawdust and tinder into the gap in the middle of the Swedish torch, and carefully light it with a windproof lighter.

Orange flames rose up with a whoosh.
