Chapter 20: Plant Ash Salt Making
Won was very happy to find a cassava tree by the lake.

The reproduction method of wild cassava is completely different from that of artificial cultivation.

The reproduction of wild cassava depends on birds and animals, which eat the mature seeds and take them to other places to root and sprout.

As for the artificial cultivation, there is no need to be so troublesome. Just cut off a section of the main stem and bury it in the soil, or leave a piece of cassava root and bury it in the soil.

Like sweet potatoes, seeds, roots, and leaves can all be reproduced.

I have to say that although cassava and sweet potato are completely different in family and genus, they are indeed similar in some respects.

Whether it is the breeding method, or the nutritional value, or, their origin is South America.

Birds living in the Amazon rainforest rarely fly around the world.

This means that there will be more cassava in this rainforest. As long as he searches patiently, he will have the staple food for the next month.

Although he has always believed that human beings have not evolved for millions of years to be vegetarians.

But unfortunately, humans cannot be like cats, only eat meat, not vegetarian.

Carbohydrates are the main components of life cell structure and the main energy supply material.

Without carbohydrates, even with meat, he may not be able to survive for 30 days. Even if he survives, he will suffer a serious illness.

Beyond this tall cassava tree, Won moved on.

Having found this cassava tree by the lake, he is more confident in surviving in the wilderness for 30 days.

After walking along the lake for more than two hours, the terrain remained unchanged, and the structure of lake water-grassland-dense forest was still maintained.

After more than two hours of exploration, although he found a lot of useful things, he wrote them down one by one.

But to his disappointment, only a quarter of the goal he came out to find today was completed.

Han Yuan stopped and looked into the distance, but he still couldn't see the lake beside him.

Although he was already prepared to return disappointed before he came out, he still sighed slightly.

Seeing him stop, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately asked what was wrong and if they had discovered anything new.

In their view, every time Won stopped, he was bound to discover a new and useful material.

This feeling is like hunting for treasure. Every time I stop, I will harvest all kinds of treasures, big and small.

Looking at the flashing barrage, Han Yuan shook his head and said, "It's been almost two hours since we set off."

"Although I didn't walk very fast, I should have walked at least about five kilometers, but I have only completed a quarter of my goal today."

[A quarter?Which four?Did you discover many things along the way? 】

[As a source of starch, cassava should be counted as one, right?what else? 】

[Wild boar?jaguar?Jaguar?Python? 】

[Isn't this upstairs too cruel?But I also want to see it, hehe. 】

[Anchor, don't listen to these two idiots, follow your own plan, but I'm also curious about what goal you set for yourself today? 】

Finding a big tree, Han Yuan sat down, took a rest under the shade of the tree, and answered the audience's questions by the way.

"The four targets are starch plants, salt, mosquito repellent plants and rivers. This is the direction I made today in the shelter last night."

"I don't need to say more about starchy plants. Carbohydrates are the most important energy source for body movements."

"And salt, a small thing that is often overlooked in life, ranks second in my search goals."

"Everyone must not underestimate the role of salt."

"If you say that if you don't eat for ten days, you will starve to death, then if you don't eat salt for ten days, you will lose a lot of physical energy, and you will experience various symptoms such as physical fatigue and mental trance."

"In severe cases it can even lead to death."

"Actually, in daily life, we don't just add salt to stir-fries to obtain sodium ions. There is a lot of salt in soy sauce, soy sauce, cooking wine, and various meat products, so many people feel that cooking without salt is fine. .”

"But I'm here, and I can tell you very clearly that human beings are the only creatures on earth that can obtain salt stably and on a large scale."

"Like other animals, such as blue sheep, they have to run to nearly vertical cliffs to lick salt grains to replenish their salt."

"It is no exaggeration to say that in the wilderness, salt will attract all kinds of wild animals around, and even predators will give priority to licking salt grains, and then attack other animals that "lick salt grains nervously". "

[Stupid, I never thought salt was so important. 】

[My family stockpiled salt in 03, and I haven't finished eating it yet! 】

[Don't talk about upstairs, it's the same at my house! 】

[I always put too much salt every time I cook, I don't worry about the lack of salt in my body at all! 】

【Ah, I understand this. I have seen a video on the Xiaopo website. You can use plant ash to make salt. If the anchor wants to learn, I can teach you! 】

Looking at the barrage, Han Yuan continued: "In the wild, it is difficult to obtain a large amount of salt, unless you find a salt mine, or it is by the sea."

"Although I can get a small amount of salt from fish and plants, it's not enough, so I have to take a risk and change the direction of progress."

As he spoke, he pointed to the distant mountains and forests: "Inland, the best places to find salt are by rivers, on rock walls and in caves."

"In these places, it is possible for salt to leak out."

"Especially on the rocks by the river, the probability of finding salt is relatively high, which is one of the reasons for my river."

"In addition, just now a friend said that salt can be made from plant ash, which is indeed possible."

"Plant ash is the leftover after burning various trees, and it contains almost all the mineral elements that exist in plants."

"However, there is a big problem in making salt from plant ash. The main component of plant ash is potassium carbonate, which accounts for about [-] percent."

"More than 90% of the [-]% potassium carbonate is water-soluble carbonate, which is also the basis for extracting potassium salt from plant ash."

"But don't forget that too much potassium intake can lead to hyperkalemia, which can also cause your muscle weakness."

"Not only that, excessive potassium intake can also lead to the normal work of the heart, and even direct cardiac arrest and sudden death in severe cases."

"In fact, in medicine, potassium supplementation is very strict clinically."

"In particular, intravenous potassium supplementation is more strict. If excessive potassium supplementation is due to improper supplementation, it can lead to death of the patient."

"So, it is indeed feasible to make salt from plant ash, but it can only be used for a short period of time. If there is a long-term salt shortage, it is still necessary to find a way to eat normal salt."
