How to get test BNB in the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) testnet

In blockchain testnets, users need to obtain test tokens before they can carry out operations. This is because various operations on a blockchain network, such as sending transactions or executing smart contracts, require the consumption of network fees (referred to as "gas" ). On the mainnet, these fees need to be paid with actual cryptocurrency, but on the testnet, to facilitate testing for developers, there is usually a kind of test token that can be obtained for free.
