Wang Xiaoxiao became even more curious: "Wuwu, what do you mean by other means of transportation?"
"It's just that carriages can no longer pass, so we can only think of other tools that can walk on the snow, such as sleds."
"What is a sled?"
"It is a vehicle that can travel on snow and ice, but it has no wheels and can be pulled by horses, deer or dogs.
When the wind and snow calm down, we can try to make sleds. I looked at our horses and it seems that they are not afraid of this cold weather. They are in good condition in the stables.
I just don’t know if they can walk on the snow. The main reason is that the snow is too thick now. If I step on it, I’m afraid they will get stuck in it and won’t be able to get out, so the gain will outweigh the loss.”
After all, these are very expensive horses. One horse is worth more than dozens of people.
Moreover, good horses are hard to come by, and missing one is a loss, so Yun Wu would rather everyone wait in the tent than have them handle the horses at this time.
But you can give it a try when the wind and snow calm down, or when the snow stops.
As long as the snow falls on the ground and forms a thick pile that won't sink in easily, you can let the horse try pulling the sled. Even if you can't enter the inner city, you can at least drag some supplies out.
"Okay, now that you say that, I really want to know what a sled is. It can actually walk on the snow. It's better than a horse-drawn carriage."
Wang Xiaoxiao was very interested, and of course Helianjue was even more interested. He was stunned for a while: "Can this dog pull a cart?"
They all talk about ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages, but I have never seen a dog-cart.
"Yes, dogs can run very happily in the snow, but not all dogs can pull sleds. It depends on the breed." Yun Wu said.
"Now you say that we don't have any idea. Since we have nothing to do, why don't you draw it."
"Okay, Bao Yi, bring me a pen and paper."
Bao Yi quickly took out a pen and paper, and Yun Wu quickly drew a sled on the paper: "Such a sled can walk on the snow. It does not use wheels. It uses the principle of snow sliding and is placed on the snow."
Walking up, you can slide.
But you need a tall and strong horse to pull it."
Wang Xiaoxiao and He Lianjue were both puzzled: "Can this thing really walk on the snow? Why does it look like it can't move very well?"
"Okay, let's try it when the wind calms down a bit."
"Okay, but it looks like your sled is going to be made of wood. Where can we get the wood now?"
Yun Wu turned her head and looked at Ye Xiang. At this time, she had to find Brother Xiang to find a solution.
Ye Xiang said dotingly: "If you want to do it, dismantle the carriage and there will be wooden boards."
"This is too wasteful. The carriage is so expensive..."
If the carriage is dismantled and the sleigh is made but cannot be used, then there is no carriage at all.
What to do with all the things I brought from Dazhou and the things I collected and bought along the way?
The regent really dotes on Princess Yunwu to no end. Isn't this nonsense?
Yun Wu didn't think there was anything wrong with this. If it snowed like this for three or four days, the snow wouldn't melt for more than half a month.
We can't just sit here and wait forever, we have to rely on horses and sleighs to pull people and things into the fantasy world.
The purpose of her coming here is to enter the illusion, understand the situation in the illusion, and understand the enemy's situation so that she can deal with the enemy well.
It is said that if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
She didn't want to waste time on the outskirts. She had to enter the fantasy world, and she finally got to Prince Rong's Mansion. This was a good opportunity.
Even ice and snow can't stop her from entering the dreamland.
The most terrifying thing is that the ice and snow in this illusion land have fallen to the ground and have not melted. You must know that the temperature in the illusion world is one to two degrees below zero all year round, so the surrounding glaciers can not melt.
The snow on these ground may be like glaciers and will not melt when it hits the ground. When the time comes... sledding will become inevitable.
"It's not really going to melt. In previous years, although they had glaciers on the top of the mountain, there was still no ice in the city. The temperature in the city was much higher than on the glaciers."
"I'm not sure, but to nip it in the bud, we have to be prepared to take action on the ice." Yun Wu said.
She really didn't know the specific temperature in the fantasy land. The most important thing was that it hadn't snowed in the fantasy land for ten years before, and even ten years ago it had been very rare.
But it is obvious that the snow will melt, but after more than ten years, it is difficult to say whether the temperature will be affected by the glaciers and drop again.
Not only does it snow, but the temperature that has remained unchanged for thousands of years has also dropped by more than ten degrees to nearly twenty degrees.
It snowed all day again, and the guard Lingsi came back to report: "Prince Ling drank the chicken soup and asked his subordinates to bring back an excellent mink fur cloak to the regent as a return gift.
As for the igloo thing, they didn't seem to believe it at all. Some people said that if it was really useful, why didn't we build an igloo ourselves?
My subordinates estimate that they don’t believe it at all, and I’m afraid they won’t do it according to Master Yunwu’s method.”
It was a pity, but he knew that the igloo was very warm and definitely more comfortable than a tent without a brazier. Although the tent blocked a lot of cold wind, it was not completely closed, and the biting cold wind would still pour into it.
But the igloo is different. As long as the entrance is blocked, there will be almost no cold wind coming in, and the temperature will be as low as the snow.
"It's their fault if they don't listen. You should work harder these days and send a few more people to watch outside to prevent them from having bad ideas." Yun Wu pursed her lips and said.
After being advised to eat enough, she told them such a good method. They were not even willing to try to dig an igloo, so she couldn't blame her.
Ila and Cang Su were very interested in this igloo: "How about we build an igloo and try it out. Anyway, we have nothing to do."
Wang Xiaoxiao looked at the snowflakes flying everywhere outside the tent and shook his head: "It's too cold. It's better to enjoy it by nestling by the fire. I don't want to go out to blow the cold wind."
"We are not afraid of the cold wind. Let's go. Princess, tell us how to make the igloo." Ling Wei and Ling Xian rushed up from behind the crowd and said loudly.
They are people who can fly for most of the day in heavy winds and snow. With internal strength to protect their bodies, they are indeed less afraid of wind and cold than ordinary people.
"Zero Si, you take them to teach them how to build igloos, and just build one or two for them to experience. Igloos are not suitable for us."
Ila thought for a while and said: "Our prairie also has biting winds in winter. It can be said to be even colder than the current weather. If the igloo is useful, our tribe may be able to save a lot of supplies in the winter."
Every winter, heating is a big problem for tribes.
Yun Wu shook her head: "I have seen your tribe's tents. They are sealed tightly and the cold wind cannot get in. Moreover, you have heaters and sheep and cow dung to burn, so you don't need any ice."
Room.
The igloo was just warmer than the current weather, but it was incomparable to a tent with a heater.
It can only be used as an emergency and when there is a lack of heating methods."
