Cretaceous Survival Guide: Hell Creek

This is an extremely rigorous popular science novel about paleontology, and it can be seen that the author has put in a lot of hard work. The writing is smooth and natural, and even if it is filled with professional knowledge, it does not feel boring at all. Although the rhythm is more relaxed for daily life, it has a strong sense of immersion - if you really travel to the Cretaceous Zone, this book may really improve the survival rate (dog head. Jpg). Contribute Barbecuing consumes a lot of nutrients in food, especially fat. In addition, it will shrink after grilling and you may not be full. Later, you can consider stewing, which will reduce the loss of nutrients. Add soup and water to make you fuller, and a larger turtle shell can be used as a pot. In terms of force, I recommend long-range weapons, such as javelins and slings. Slings are suitable for hunting small and medium-sized prey and have good repelling effects. Javelins are suitable for larger prey. Spears, stone axes and the like are mainly used for self-defense when being approached. Also, the protagonist is easily injured at close range. Injury and infection in the wild are very troublesome. In terms of wound treatment, if the medical supplies in the car are used up, you can try plant ash. 1. Weak antibacterial effect: The main component of plant ash is potassium carbonate, which is alkaline when dissolved in water. It can create a microenvironment on the wound surface that is not conducive to the growth of some bacteria. 2. Drying and hemostasis: Fine powder can absorb exudate, physically compress capillaries, and have a slight astringent effect on superficial bleeding. 3. Temporary scab: A dry scab is formed to isolate external dust. However, it is only suitable for emergencies. It will hinder wound recovery in the future. Plant ash is not a sterile substance, and potassium carbonate generates a strong alkaline solution (potassium hydroxide) when it meets water. When the concentration is too high, it will cause alkali burns to healthy tissues and aggravate necrosis.

This kind of theme that travels through ancient times is not bad, but it is a pity that the author's use of AI-assisted writing is too obvious. In each chapter, you can see a lot of "it's not... It's..." And other such words. It is recommended that the author revise these overly repetitive descriptions during proofreading.

This is not a swipe review, I really recommend it. I can't say that the writing is good, but I can definitely read it, the content is not surprising, and the most important thing is that the author really researched the information. It's not the kind of people who come from other fields to write random things, it's written by insiders. So this one looks very comfortable and doesn't have too many bugs. Let me say one thing here, it is not a brush review, it is not a brush review. This is a very beautiful and rare article, the professional knowledge is very good, and the author has already created two or three original species. Anyone who dares to create original species has something to offer.

It's quite good-looking, with good science and biology, but not much thrills and excitement of survival, and a bit bland. Some repetitive content can be skipped, such as tapping the right head to increase the rating tool, and just write some. The time is tight, but the development of science and technology is slow, and the description of the protagonist's personal growth is insufficient. Finally, I hope there will be more excitement and less repetitive and boring content, such as knocking stones, and more about the growth of the protagonist. Can the author get back to me?

Judging from the current development of the plot, the protagonist needs to hide under the protection of Universiade to avoid powerful opponents such as Tyrannosaurus Rex and giant crocodiles. Universiade has simply compromised the safety of the protagonist's living quarters. If the Universiade has oil to move, it will be the scarlet hundred-ton king vs. The prehistoric 500-year-old ten-ton crocodile, the strongest in prehistory vs. The strongest in modern times. Crocodile: "I will win! I am the strongest!" Scarlet Hundred Ton King: "100 tons of power! Great Luck Explosive Punch!" Crocodile: "The field unfolds, swamp thunderstorm!" Crocodile: "Death Roll!" Crocodile: "I really can't make Lord Hundred Ton King happy!" Scarlet Hundred Ton King: "I will probably never forget you in my lifetime!"

I have just read Chapter 45. I know that compared to the updated entries, I have read very little, but I found a few shortcomings in such a small section of content. The protagonist seems to have no common sense of life at all, as if he had picked up a person with modern memories. , But the soul that had discarded all common sense was squeezed into a body created by this era, not to mention the convenience of preserving fire compared to drilling wood to make fire. He lit three fires, and only remembered to save the fire after the third fire was extinguished. And regarding the production of stone tools, I admit that making stone tools requires skills, but tying stone tools to wooden poles, a method that modern people can think of, shouldn't require purchasing skills to learn it, right? Even if it can be made very crudely, even if it is not very durable, it is as simple as tying the beaten stone pieces to the pole, or burning the pole with charcoal and fixing the stone tools on it. I don't think the author should have to write a special skill and buy it. But the shortcomings do not hide the good points. This does not affect the fact that what the author wrote is indeed a very rigorous and very beautiful fantasy science survival article.

It's my favorite subject matter. I read it directly 😏, one of the rare paleontology novels that is more rigorous. But for me, the pace is a bit too slow. The technology tree and the protagonist's skills are both very slow. Most of the content is about ancient creatures. The protagonist's growth is too slow, his abilities are too low, and his participation is extremely low. I can only watch in fear and be scared to death [laughter], although It is more realistic, but it gives people a very bad impression. It makes me feel weak, and I probably haven't been able to regain my place for a long time. There has been no change or growth since then. It is a bit uncomfortable to watch, but because of the theme of paleontology, I will probably continue to watch it 🤦

The protagonist's IQ is always online, many settings are rigorous, and there are many details. In some places, the author's own reasonable explanations are added, and there are original species that can correspond to more ecological niches. Don't treat the protagonist who owns the system as an ordinary person, and don't treat dinosaurs as super beasts

The author has really engraved "hard-core science popularization" into the DNA. From the ecological environment of the Hell Creek Formation to the body shapes and habits of various dinosaurs, and even the activity patterns of different seasons, every detail is revealed with careful research. While reading, you may even feel in a trance: If you really traveled to the Cretaceous Period and acted according to the knowledge in the book, you might actually be able to live a few more episodes. What's even more rare is that this high-density professional knowledge does not feel boring at all, but is perfectly integrated with the protagonist's survival line - such as determining whether the water source is safe, and planning the route to avoid predators. Each step of choice is based on solid scientific deductions, and the sense of immersion is directly filled.

The plot setting is novel, and it is the first time I have read a novel about the Cretaceous period. A master of botany accidentally traveled to the Cretaceous period due to a car accident, and thus embarked on an adventure. There are many knowledge points about paleontology in the book, and the author writes very carefully.
