79: Chapter 79 Salt from the Sea! Add salt tonight!

Before An Ke left the Camp, he arranged everything in an orderly fashion.

All the animals had their own roles to play.

Leopard Mom guarded the Camp while taking care of the two little guys.

Meanwhile, the tiger took the initiative to go hunting.

Jingang was responsible for aerial patrols of the territory; if anything happened, he would notify An Ke immediately.

Finally, there was the newly established Cooking Squad, where the two monkeys were responsible for processing the prey that An Ke hadn't handled.

Of course! The monkeys couldn't handle the fine processing.

An Ke could only let them do a rough processing, and then he would perform the fine processing later.

Such an arrangement made the audience in the live broadcast room exclaim how impressive it was.

"Everyone else's wilderness survival is an individual effort, but he's turned it into team survival."

"This kind of arrangement is simply invincible, right?"

"Someone to guard the home, someone for patrols, and even logistics."

"Only Boss An, who can communicate with animals, could pull this off."

"When Boss An returns to reality, let him start an animal language class," one bullet comment suggested whimsically.

However, it received support from many people.

"Hahaha! If Boss An really starts a class, I'll definitely go."

"Plus one! It would definitely be a full house."

"Speaking of which, is Boss An going to get some seafood?"

Many people saw that the direction An Ke was heading was toward the sea.

After all, An Ke had already been to the sea many times.

Previously, the path to the seaside was overgrown with weeds, but now this path had become much wider.

Although there were still many weeds, it was countless times better than before when it was covered in grass as tall as a person.

Because the path had become easier to walk, the journey took very little time.

After walking for about ten minutes, hearing the sound of waves in his ears, An Ke couldn't help but smile.

"I somehow feel like a long time has passed."

When he first entered the National Fortune Game, it took him a lot of time to find the stream.

But now, the walk only took about twenty minutes.

Arriving at the beach, An Ke let Little Scar and the others move freely.

They could collect whatever they wanted.

Meanwhile, he went to the water's edge alone and collected some seawater.

The first step required was filtration.

He filtered the collected seawater several times to remove any visible debris.

Once it was filtered until no particles were visible to the naked eye, he set the seawater up to heat.

Fortunately, he had ceramic containers, making this step very simple for An Ke.

In the wilderness, containers are sometimes very important.

They can help you do many things.

After boiling, the seawater had to be filtered once more.

Then it was roasted; once it was nearly dry, more seawater was added.

This allowed the salt concentration to increase.

Then the seawater with a higher salt concentration was further filtered and heated...

By maintaining these steps a dozen times, Coarse salt could finally be obtained.

In the live broadcast room, the audience suddenly realized that An Ke was making salt.

"Boss An is truly awesome!"

"He even knows how to make salt."

"We're both college students, so why is the gap so huge?"

"Forget the wilderness; even if he traveled back to ancient times, Boss An could get rich with this salt-making skill."

"This isn't much, right? Isn't it just filtering seawater and then heating it?"

"It's very simple!"

"I think it's simple too."

"Ignorance is truly terrifying; what you get after filtering and heating is just Coarse salt, and it's not edible yet."

"It contains magnesium chloride and other inorganic salts."

"Eating too much will inevitably cause health problems."

"It must be further purified into Fine salt."

"To the person upstairs saying it's simple, do you know how to purify it into Fine salt?"

"So funny, they don't know but they still dare to talk so much trash."

"Speaking of which, does Boss An know?"

"Basically, many university majors don't teach this..."

"..."

Many viewers in the live broadcast room were worried that An Ke didn't know how to further purify it into Fine salt.

It would be terrible if he just ate that stuff as salt.

However, the Dragon Country High Command didn't think so.

The General joked half-seriously, "I hope An Ke doesn't know how to purify salt."

"That way, we can send a bullet comment to remind him."

Many high-level leaders smiled and agreed.

The second week was almost over, and they hadn't even sent a single one of their weekly bullet comments.

This made the high-level leaders feel a bit stifled.

Could he please not be so omnipotent and let them have some sense of participation?

Let these high-level leaders take some credit and make some contribution to the country.

Unfortunately, An Ke didn't give the high-level leaders a chance.

After refining the Coarse salt, he began looking for shells.

For a natural beach, there was no shortage of shells.

He cleaned the shells he found, dried them, and calcined them into Quicklime.

The Quicklime was then mixed with the water he brought to become a Milk of lime solution.

When the Milk of lime solution was added to the Coarse salt, it would slowly precipitate particles.

Finally, the particles were filtered out, and the resulting brine was evaporated to ultimately form Fine salt.

An Ke looked at the snow-white crystals, dipped a finger into them, and tasted it.

Salty.

This meant it was a success.

"Haha! Now I can add salt to all the food." An Ke smiled happily.

But the most crucial part was replenishing sodium and chloride ions to keep the body's electrolytes in a normal state.

In the live broadcast room, the audience admired An Ke greatly.

He really applied everything he knew.

In the live broadcast room, Little Scar and the others saw An Ke produce Fine salt and gathered around curiously.

Then they asked with "woo-woo" sounds.

"Great King, what is this?"

"Is it something edible?"

"..."

The monkeys didn't know that the stuff in An Ke's hand was salt.

An Ke smiled slightly: "You'll find out tonight."

An Ke planned to add salt for the animals tonight.

He wondered what kind of reaction these animals would have then.

An Ke was starting to look forward to it.

The difference in taste between food with salt and food without salt was quite large.

Carefully pouring the Fine salt into the prepared ceramic container, An Ke continued making salt.

He intended to make a lot at once so he wouldn't have to come to the seaside frequently to extract salt.

A gentle sea breeze blew, and the originally bright sun was obscured by clouds, allowing the earth to cool down slightly.

Under the shade of a tree, An Ke had already filled about half of a 1L ceramic container.

But An Ke didn't plan to stop yet.

There was no shortage of food in the Camp, so he didn't need to hunt.

The entire afternoon could be used to make Fine salt.

As the setting sun shone on the ground, An Ke finally stood up: "Alright! Little Scar!"

"It's about time for us to head back."

Hearing An Ke's voice, Little Scar and the others quickly gathered.

To An Ke's surprise, they also brought shells, seaweed, and other easily obtained seafood.

Most importantly, there were also coconuts.

An Ke's eyes lit up: "Little Scar, where did you pick these?"

The coconuts on this beach had already been stripped clean by An Ke.

If he wanted to eat them, he had to wait for them to grow back.

"On the other side of the cliff..." Little Scar replied.
