I picked up a few buckets of water and went out. When I passed by the backup staff, everyone looked surprised. It was so cold outside, why did I go out carrying water?
However, because Lin Yi was a lieutenant, he had no choice but to stand aside and watch. It was not that they did not want to help, but that the backup personnel were generally not allowed to go out to the guard area, in case something happened and they could not respond in time.
Lin Yi understood that everyone had their own responsibilities, so he didn't say anything. At this time, the 8th squad leader had dug out the prototype of the cave, and Lin Yi was behind, repairing it a little, and then patted the water up.
It wasn't that Lin Yi worked quickly, but that he couldn't do it quickly. As soon as the bucket was put down, in less than two minutes, a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the water.
If the water is not sprinkled on it in time, in twenty minutes, the ice will definitely freeze to the point where a shovel cannot break it.
As for the water sprinkled on the cave wall, it quickly turned into ice. Lin Yi waited for ten minutes, then knocked on it with his fist, and found that his fist could not even knock the cave wall. It must be too strong.
Squad Leader 8 did not expect the effect to be so good, and expressed admiration, "It seems that the effect of fixing the cave wall with water is really good. I will find some big wooden boards to put next to the cave entrance later. When the wind and snow come, I will fix the cave entrance."
Block it, and we will take it out after the wind and snow pass, which will save a lot of trouble."
At this time, the voice of the system also came, "Ding, invent a simple cave reinforcement method, and reward the invention a little bit."
Unused invention points: 2 points.
Let me go, can this reward invention points?
Lin Yi became more motivated now, "Squad Leader 8, let's speed up and dig a path out of the next snow hill."
Suddenly Lin Yi thought of a way again, "I think we can connect the caves of the two snow hills and build them with watered snow blocks. In this way, when the wind blows and snows, we don't have to look for them.
Large wooden boards cover both ends of the cave. As long as the cave is extended to a windless area, the wind and snow will naturally not cover the entrance of the cave."
Squad Leader 8 nodded repeatedly, "That's a good idea. I'll just take advantage of these few days to build a passage to the dry toilet. It will be really convenient to go to the toilet in the future."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Okay, let's do it together."
Just after Lin Yigang dug the second snow hill passage, a dog barking suddenly came from outside. Lin Yi thought he heard it wrong. Are there still wild dogs in this place?
But then he heard the barking of a dog again, and Lin Yi looked at Squad Leader 8, "Is there a dog barking?"
The 8th squad leader did not stop, "The patrolman is back. The dog is a patrol dog and generally does not bark. It will bark only when it smells danger."
And this one barked twice, which means it is hungry. Don't worry about it, Lao Wu will feed it.
Patrol dog?
Lin Yizhen really wanted to see this military dog. He had loved dogs since he was a child and was really close to this animal.
But before Lin Yi put down the shovel in his hand, several green figures rushed over. When the 8th squad leader saw that the patrol officers did not go back to the guard post to warm up, they rushed over here and joked: "What's wrong, I already want to go to the toilet."
?The equipment will not be put back either.”
The corporal leading the team scratched his head, "Alu dragged us to the back of the post. We thought something had happened, so we came to take a look."
Only then did Squad Leader 8 realize that Aru no longer knew Lin Yi, and immediately said, "This is Platoon Leader Lin. For the next three months, Squadron 8 will be led by him."
When several patrol officers heard this, they stood at attention and saluted, "Hello, platoon leader."
Lin Yi hurriedly returned the greeting, "Hello, comrades, please go back to the outpost for a warm-up meeting. You have been patrolling all the way. I'm afraid you may be freezing. If you don't want me to hold this Alu, let me get to know him."
The corporal immediately handed over the dog leash, "Our Aru knows people. He knows people in military uniforms. You can pet him. He won't bite. Look at how well-behaved he is."
Lin Yi looked at this extremely spiritual military dog, gently touched Alu's head, and found that he was really well-behaved.
Then there was another burst of rua and an angry beating. The military dog still had a smile on its face and sat on the ground obediently.
When squad leader 8 saw him, he said, "Platoon leader Lin, Aru is really not unfamiliar with you."
Lin Yi was also very happy, "Animals, especially military dogs, are very smart animals. They are very good at distinguishing whether people are friendly or hostile to them."
"By the way, do you usually keep it tied up? Do you want to untie it?"
Squad leader 8 said: "We will untie the dog leash as soon as we return to the post, and it will not run around. Although this patrol dog has only been at the post for more than a year, it is very obedient. If you don't see it normally,
, just call Aru, and it will appear in front of you in less than a minute."
Lin Yi looked at the big black dog in front of him and was really happy. He untied the dog leash and said to Aru: "Okay, let's go out and play."
As if Aru could understand people's words, he immediately disappeared when Lin Yi waved his hand.
When the 8th squad leader saw Aru running away, he said while working: "I still remember the last time there was a snowstorm. It lasted for two days. We were afraid that it would freeze to death outside, so we wanted to bring it inside the outpost to warm it up."
"It turned out that it just wouldn't come in. No matter how hard you dragged it, it would just sit at the door of the post. We had no choice but to open the door every few hours and take a look. Fortunately, Alu resisted the freezing and stayed in the blizzard.
It’s been fine for two days. It’s the first time I’ve seen such an obedient dog.”
Lin Yi nodded, "Military dogs, with their innate good character, can't just disturb our rest."
At this time, the patrol personnel also put down their equipment and ran out with tools to clear the snow together. With the participation of the patrol personnel, the progress was much faster. In less than an hour, the two snow hills were completely cleared.
Continue to sprinkle water to solidify, and Lin Yi went to find wooden boards and nails to try to make snow bricks.
In the tool room of the outpost, there are actually many tools, but not much wood. In this plateau area, there are no trees, and even the grass cannot grow too high.
Therefore, outposts that have little demand for wood will not store too much.
However, it is possible to make a wooden board for removing bricks. After all, the amount is not large, four small wooden boards are enough.
Use nails to fix the four small wooden boards, wrap them with iron wire a few times, and then use hemp rope to make two pull rings, and the simple removal of the bricks is completed.
Because there is not much water, Lin Yi is not in a hurry to make snow bricks. Master Wu's reminder is right. You can't waste water for cooking. At worst, you can bring back some more snow tonight and melt it overnight.
Enough to make snow bricks tomorrow.
At this time, Master Wu also came out, carrying a warm pot of milk tea, and shouted: "Everyone, please stop doing this. Come back and drink some milk tea to warm yourself up."
