If you can have handy tools to dig coal, the efficiency will be much faster.
I can only think about it, but after I go back, I have to hurry up and produce more hammers and chisels. When collecting stones earlier, the tribe stepped up their efforts to produce some, about twenty or thirty. Now that there is a coal mine, those must be
is not enough.
Need to get more out.
Fortunately, it's not far from the tribe, about eight kilometers or half a day's journey, which makes mining and transportation more convenient.
Ye Qiong is now preparing to build a road. According to the current distribution of manpower and material resources of the tribe, he can only temporarily allocate a small number of people to collect coal.
Due to technical limitations and the influence of science and technology, tribes have now mined coal back, and it can only be used for cooking or heating for the time being.
Ye Qiong still has a long way to go before he wants to build a steam engine. Although Ye Qiong is very clear about the principles of steam engines.
But the process is definitely more troublesome, because it requires enough iron elements, molds and various precision carriers.
This must be accumulated over time.
Haste makes waste, and now Ye Qiong continues to burn coal. As the temperature outside gradually rises, the ice and snow are melting very quickly.
It is rising almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although nothing unusual could be seen from Ye Qiong, from the outside world where Tang Ying was, looking at Ye Qiong's position, one could see faint white smoke coming out of the arrow holes.
The high temperature of coal burning not only melts the snow accumulated on it, but also evaporates a lot of water. Because there are only a few small holes where the gas comes out, you can clearly see the white light smoke floating from the hole from the outside.
There is no way to convey the sound through the distance of several kilometers by shouting, especially now that Ye Qiong is in the snow cave.
Tang Ying had shouted many times just now, but she didn't get a response from Ye Qiong. Now she could only sit on the ground with Daidai, looking at the four smoking holes. She couldn't figure out what happened inside.
.
My heart, which had been relieved, became suspended again.
Daidai was a little anxious now. He ran out to dig out the snow for a while, but soon he discovered that the snow was several kilometers long and tens of meters deep on average, just like the sea. He wanted to dig a passage out. Individual
The power is simply impossible.
However, Daidai didn't think so much, and still ran over from time to time to continue digging. When he was tired of digging, he would stay next to Tang Ying to rest...
Time soon came to night, and after digging for most of the day, I only dug a passage that was two meters wide and more than ten meters long.
According to its current excavation speed, the distance of several kilometers will not necessarily reach the location of the leaf dome until the beginning of next spring. Moreover, the snow on the periphery is relatively shallow, starting from a few meters deep and slowly rising to dozens of meters deep.
meters or even hundreds of meters deep.
With its sluggish physique, if it fell under the snow hundreds of meters deep, it would be very difficult to climb out using brute force.
After nightfall, the temperature gradually dropped, but the pit where Ye Qiong was located was still very warm.
As the snow gradually melts, the thickness of the top snow is only more than two meters.
Ye Qiong looked at the several small holes above, and then picked up a stone from the ground.
Then he gently shook his arm and threw the stone diagonally upward.
"Cha...boom!"
The friction between the stones and the snow produced a low sound. The stones, like bullets, directly penetrated the more than two meters of snow, and then continued to fly towards the sky for a long distance before starting.
Under the action of gravity, it falls downward.
Ye Qiong had no intention of stopping. He raised his head and threw a few more stones. Suddenly, there were several fist-sized holes in the snow above.
Tang Ying had been observing the situation on Ye Qiong's side. At this moment, she saw several fist-sized holes emerging from the snow. They were much larger than the ones in front of them. Several rays of light red light shot out from the holes.
came out.
The light of burning coal is red, while the light of burning wood is more yellowish, so this is the first time Tang Ying has seen the red glimmer coming from the holes.
"What's going on inside..." Tang Ying was holding her legs, still staring at Ye Qiong's position.
Snow Star has entered the night, and the danger is beginning to come. Because there is Dudu beside her, Tang Ying is not worried that scavengers will attack her. The only worry is Ye Qiong.
Daidai is busy digging a hole now. Although there is no Ye Qiong to direct it, Daidai still knows very well that if Tang Ying doesn't sleep in the snow cave at night, he will freeze to death, so there is no need for Tang Ying to give him directions. The sky is bright
After it got dark, Daidai started digging a snow cave.
Ye Qiong, who was staying in the pit, didn't need to think about whether he would freeze to death at the moment. The temperature in the pit was still very high, and the Mustang King was still lying on the ground obediently. He was probably hungry for a long time.
, but their ability to endure hunger is much greater than that of humans. In addition, this guy just lies there motionless and consumes no energy, so it is not a big problem if he doesn't eat for two days.
Ye Qiong is very hungry now. He has worked hard all day and needs timely energy replenishment.
The dried meat on his body could probably last for two days. Ye Qiong raised his head and took out the dried meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it, while looking at the Mustang King.
I hope I can go out in two or three days.
otherwise……
"well……"
Ye Qiong sighed softly. He was not a bad person. If he really didn't go out after three days, Mustang King probably wouldn't be able to go out.
Shaking his head, Ye Qiong temporarily stopped the messy negative emotions in his head.
After eating two pieces of dried meat, Ye Qiong got up and crawled out of the pit, got some snow from outside, put it in his mouth, chewed it for a few times and swallowed it.
At the same time, I also got some and placed them in front of the Mustang King.
The Mustang King had not eaten or drank for the whole day. The long-distance running from morning to noon was also very physically demanding for it. When it saw the snow in front of it, it didn't hesitate and stuck out its tongue to lick it.
Ye Qiong is currently unable to obtain food for Mustang King, but as for water, there will definitely be no shortage in the winter of Snow Star.
As much as you want, although the snow is not clean and will trap some dust and bacteria in the air, it will not cause any health problems for humans and creatures on the snow planet.
Snow Star itself has no pollution, so relatively speaking, the snow here is much cleaner than the earth where Ye Qiong lived in his previous life.
As night fell, Ye Qiong was a little sleepy after working all day, so he buried the charcoal fire in the hole directly with soil, leaving a little gap.
In this case, the charcoal fire inside can burn for a long time. One of the great advantages of the charcoal fire is that once it burns, even if it is buried in the soil, it can still burn for a long time, because the temperature itself is enough to support internal spontaneous combustion, and for oxygen
