Soon, the coal at the bottom turned red. At the same time, the temperature in the pit began to slowly rise, becoming more comfortable.
Ye Qiong continued to smash some coals, grabbed them and put them directly on the fire in the cave.
The quality of the coal was good, and it did not produce smoke. It seemed to be anthracite coal, which was relatively dry. Otherwise, Ye Qiong would have had no choice but to bury the burning coal. He did not want to risk carbon monoxide poisoning.
The temperature continued to rise, and when it reached above freezing, the topmost ice and snow began to slowly melt.
In order to prevent the snow from dripping into the pit, Ye Qiong looked at the overall slope of the pit. The left side was higher and the right side was lower.
So Ye Qiong climbed to the top of the big pit on the right, dug a few grooves with a dagger, and let the snow water collected drop by drop fall into the grooves, and then continue to flow down the lower slope.
, and will not flow into the big pit where Ye Qiong and Mustang King are.
After doing all this, Ye Qiong continued to pick up the long bow and shot two of the remaining four arrows toward the top of his head.
"Whoosh...whoosh..."
Suddenly, two more straight arrow holes appeared.
Ye Qiong continued to dig coals and placed them on the charcoal fire inside the cave.
The entire pit has now formed a benign snowmelt system. As the temperature continues to rise, and when it reaches about 30 degrees, Ye Qiong begins to control the volume of the charcoal fire to prevent the temperature in the pit from being too high.
Ye Qiong took off the animal skin coat on his body, revealing a body of strong muscles with perfect curves and no trace of fat. Every muscle line contained amazing explosive power.
Although Ye Qiong's figure looks thin, taking off the animal skin coat on his body gives him the ultimate visual impact.
Strength! Agility! Coordination...
It was a full feeling. After so many years in Xuexing, this was the first time for Ye Qiong to feel the warmth of a greenhouse in winter.
It feels very comfortable and cozy, a bit like having a half-day of leisure.
In the winter on Snow Planet, there is not much wood, and its main function is to make fires for cooking and cooking meat, rather than for heating.
If this coal mine is mined now, it will be equivalent to the Yeqiong tribe having heating in winter, and the saved wood can also be used to build houses.
It takes time for the snow above to melt. Fortunately, Ye Qiong has plenty of time now, but the bad thing is that he doesn't carry much food with him, and most of the food is in the pockets he carries on his back.
What's more, there is another one with a mouth in the big pit. If he is trapped here for three to five days, although he will not die, it will definitely be a very uncomfortable thing.
Ye Qiong didn't want to work hard to rescue the wild horse king, only to have to kill it for meat in the end.
A temperature of 30 degrees can cause the snow above to melt at a fixed frequency. The density of hot air is relatively low, so it will keep rising upwards, gathering together, and melting the ice and snow.
Ye Qiong sat down and leaned against the wall behind him, then raised his head and started watching the snow melt. He roughly estimated that it was quite fast. It would take about three hours to melt one meter.
As the space above becomes larger and larger, the surrounding snow also has a chain reaction, and the snow surface forms an increasingly larger arc.
The temperature inside the pit also slowly dropped.
Ye Qiong continued to dig out a few larger pieces of coal and placed them on the charcoal fire in the side hole to continue burning.
The temperature continued to increase with the addition of new fuel, and the leaf dome was also designed to melt the snow faster.
Ye Qiong decided to continue to increase production and placed the already red-hot charcoal fire around the pit with arrows, like using chopsticks to hold meat.
Seeing that the snow is melting faster and faster, Ye Qiong once again increased production. The bottom layer of the one-meter-deep hole just dug has been filled. In order to increase the air circulation at the bottom, Ye Qiong
I also dug some small crisscrossing holes underneath.
The charcoal fire inside the cave was burning very vigorously, so Ye Qiong specially selected the charcoal fire that had completely burned and placed it outside the pit.
If we rely on manpower to excavate the snow, it will take years and months to dig out a passage for Ye Qiong.
Unless it is from the Ye Qiong tribe, and several hundred capable people are mobilized, it will take several days to clear a road.
If you don't rely on digging, there is another way, which is to wait for a few days, let the strong wind blow the snow surface hard, and then walk out directly from the top, but this is also risky, because it may be uneven at any time due to the force.
And fell.
If you fell directly from the snow surface into the snowdrift, it would be more troublesome and even harder to figure it out.
Now, both of these methods take time. Ye Qiong doesn't want to be trapped in a big pit, so he is working very hard to burn coal.
It didn't cost money in the first place. Ye Qiong knew very well that coal molding required a certain amount of volume as a prerequisite, so now he wasn't afraid of wasting it at all.
The Mustang King was looking at Ye Qiong in confusion. Now he was beginning to wonder what the human being in front of him wanted to do as he was busy here and there.
Because his front legs are still a little painful, Mustang King is lying on the ground now, his eyes always staring at Ye Qiong.
Ye Qiong now has a crazy idea in his mind. He has discovered a coal mine, but it is surrounded by snow from avalanches, and the volume is very huge.
This snow has seriously affected the tribe's coal mining. It is impossible for Ye Qiong to wait until spring arrives and melt naturally before mining. In that case, the delay will be too long.
If no coal mine is found, Ye Qiong may wait in the pit for a few days until the snow becomes hard before climbing out, or waiting for the tribesmen to come and open a small passage from the outside.
, as long as we can rescue Ye Qiong.
Now that this coal mine has been discovered, Ye Qiong really can't wait any longer, so Ye Qiong now wants to use the heat of coal combustion to directly open a large transportation channel so that carriages can come in to load coal.
As long as the tribe has a steady stream of coal resources, the speed of development will definitely rise to a new level.
Energy can play a very large role in promoting the development of civilization, which is immeasurable.
After deciding on the direction, Ye Qiong is now full of energy. In addition, humans always have an inexplicable admiration for fire, so Ye Qiong's heart seems to be burning with fire, but he doesn't feel tired at all. The only thing that makes him uncomfortable is
Yes, it's just that I only have a dagger in my hand now, and there are no tools that I can use, so my work efficiency is not very high.
