National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

Wang Zifei explained it in the simplest language.

Simply put, egg whites are a natural pH level detector.

"The key to using quicklime to precipitate heavy metals is the amount used. Too little will leave toxin residue; too much will result in excessive saltiness and alkalinity, which can lead to muscle spasms, dizziness, and weakness if consumed over a long period of time."

"The proteins in egg whites will denature instantly in a strongly alkaline environment, forming a white flocculent precipitate."

He pointed at the screen, his voice firm and resolute:

"The moment Zhang Li saw the egg white precipitate, it meant the solution had reached its optimal reaction state! At this point, the heavy metal ions in the salt water had completed precipitation!"

The viewers in the live stream suddenly realized what was going on.

"Holy crap! You can do that?"

"Li Shen is having a chemistry lab class!"

"If I had a teacher like this for my college entrance exam, I'd be guaranteed a spot at Tsinghua!"

on the screen.

Zhang Li slowly poured the cooled quicklime solution into the turbid brine.

There is no measuring cup.

There are no test tubes.

Only slight adjustments with the wrist and observation with the naked eye are required.

He stopped when the color of the salt water began to change subtly.

Then, drop the egg whites from the can into it.

A miracle happened.

The clear egg white instantly coagulated into white flocculent matter, which slowly sank to the bottom of the jar!

"It's done!"

He Jiong shouted out instinctively!

The live stream chat went completely crazy!

"This is chemistry! This is science! Li Shen is awesome!"

"My mom asked me why I was kneeling again, and I said that Li Shen was having another class, this time it was experimental chemistry!"

Then, carefully tilting the earthenware jar, he poured the clear liquid from the top into another clean earthenware jar, his movements as steady as a rock.

Finally, he placed the clear salt water over the campfire.

Water vapor evaporates.

A white mist filled the air.

As the moisture evaporated, a layer of snow-white crystals precipitated at the bottom of the earthenware jar.

As delicate as frost.

That was the first truly safe and edible refined salt in this prehistoric world!

Zhang Li nodded in satisfaction, scraped off the fine salt, wrapped it in dry leaves, and put it into his storage space.

At this moment, viewers in the live chat didn't forget to tag Academician Ma, causing his face to turn pale and then red.

"Why is Academician Ma silent today? Give us your feedback on Li Shen's actions!"

"Academician Ma: Don't ask, it's just good luck. This wave is the blessing of the god of chemistry."

Academician Ma, unable to contain himself any longer after seeing the teasing, finally growled at the director beside him:

"Ban that user 'Has Academician Ma shut up today?' permanently!"

……

The intense labor made Zhang Li feel hungry.

He took the Compsognathus out of the storage space.

This small dinosaur, nearly a meter long, was covered in fine, primitive feathers.

"Those with fur... are a little more troublesome to handle."

Zhang Li muttered something to himself and then began to act.

Zhang Li placed a can of water near the fire to heat it.

Then, like plucking feathers from a chicken, after scalding it with warm water, they began to pluck the downy hairs off the Compsognathus.

The viewers in the live chat were stunned.

"Seriously? That's so particular! Can't we just bake it directly?"

"This is the quality of life that Li Shen leads."

However, Zhang Li's next move silenced everyone.

He carefully collected the plucked grayish-brown downy hairs and piled them in a dry corner of the cave.

These primitive feathers were far less insulating than those of modern birds, but little by little, they could still keep out the cold.

He is preparing for winter.

"Holy crap! Li Shen is making down jackets?"

"He had previously determined the season by observing the stars and knew the weather would get cold!"

"Is it necessary? Can't we just wait for the government to airdrop supplies?"

"Is the person upstairs out of their mind? Airdrops only happen once a week, and the slots are precious! Using them to drop down jackets? Li Shen is maximizing the value of all resources!"

Just then, the flames inside the kiln gradually went out.

In the core area, which was covered by wet mud, only white smoke rose from the exhaust vents.

Zhang Li knew that the charcoal was ready.

He used a long wooden stick to break open the hardened, burnt clay shell.

"Crack—"

The clay shell shattered, revealing the dark creation.

The firewood that once stood there has now been transformed into neatly shaped, jet-black charcoal!

Physicist Professor Li Zhengying immediately explained:

"Strategic material! Charcoal is the product of high-temperature dry distillation of wood in the absence of air. It has a significantly higher carbon content, burns without smoke, and reaches a higher temperature!"

"With this charcoal, the temperature requirements will be met for both a stable heat source and future glassmaking and even iron smelting!"

The foodies in the live stream have different focuses.

"Smokeless! High temperature! Isn't this the perfect material for barbecue?"

"I want to eat grilled dinosaur meat! My mouth is watering!"

However, Zhang Li simply collected the charcoal carefully, not wasting a single piece.

He rekindled a regular campfire and placed the cleaned Compsognathus on it.

Grilling with charcoal?

Too extravagant.

In his eyes, every piece of charcoal was a strategic resource.

Soon, the dinosaur meat was roasted until it sizzled and dripped with oil, filling the air with its aroma.

Zhang Li took out a little bit of his homemade refined salt and sprinkled it evenly on the meat.

"Sizzle—"

The meat melts and reacts with the oil, releasing an indescribable aroma of meat.

It penetrates the screen.

It made countless viewers swallow hard.

……

at the same time.

Blue Star, headquarters of the United States.

An emergency meeting is being held.

Representatives from the wildebeest nation, known as the "African hyenas," delivered a passionate speech and proposed a bill—"Amendments to the Guidelines on Competitive Behavior in the Prehistoric Survival World."

Core message: Advocating for "free competition" among athletes from different countries, including resource plunder, armed capture, and even allowing "necessary killings".

Their purpose is obvious.

Sang Biao's pursuit of Huang Xiaoying has already provoked the anger of the Dragon Kingdom.

Fearing retaliation from both within and outside the Dragon Kingdom, they attempted to use this official means to cloak Sang Biao's barbaric acts in a veneer of "legitimacy."

Representatives from the United States, France, and the United Kingdom all adopted a posture of "respecting the rules of the game," indicating tacit approval.

The representative from the Bear Kingdom, with his legs crossed, seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold and chose to abstain.

Under pressure, most of the small and medium-sized countries in the meeting room cast their votes in favor.

The proposal was about to be passed.

"I object."

A steady voice rang out.

The representative from the Dragon Kingdom slowly stood up, his gaze sharp as he surveyed the entire room!

"By the powers granted to me by the Charter of the United States, I, on behalf of the Dragon Nation, exercise my veto power over this proposal."

"boom!"

The meeting room erupted in uproar!

The Wildebeest Kingdom representative's face instantly turned ugly.

The representative from the Dragon Kingdom continued speaking, his voice resonating throughout the world:

"I hereby strongly condemn the predatory behavior of the Wildebeest Kingdom contestants! And I call on all participating nations to cooperate and explore together in the prehistoric world, rather than fighting each other!"

The representative from the Wildebeest Kingdom was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Everyone knows that behind this fickle little country stands the United States.

The United States is pushing this proposal because their team boasts a formidable roster of players with impressive combat capabilities. Once "free competition" is legalized, they can plunder resources with impunity and systematically suppress Chinese players.

After all, the athletes' performance is directly linked to the nation's fate!

Just as the Dragon Kingdom representative was about to sit down.

A sarcastic voice came from the corner.

The representative from India, who had always considered himself a competitor of China, suddenly stood up, his face filled with inexplicable excitement.

"Since the Dragon Kingdom is abusing its power in this way, hindering 'fair competition'..."

He took a deep breath and made a proposal that would shake the entire world.

"I hereby formally propose the abolition of the five permanent member seats of the Dragon Kingdom and the permanent removal of their veto power!"
