After throwing the ice sculpture corpse on his shoulders into the big pit, Ye Qiong jumped down from the snowy demon wolf.
The pit is thirty meters long and fifteen meters wide, about the size of a basketball court. It is now filled with ice sculpture corpses of all kinds. The larger ones are more than three meters long, and the smaller ones are only ten meters long.
A few centimeters were all picked up by the soldiers.
On Snow Planet, food will definitely not be wasted.
Ye Qiong found a higher position and then looked at the surrounding environment.
The location where the food is stored has the highest terrain in this area, so there is no need to worry about being flooded after next spring.
Immediately below here is the snow that fell from the avalanche. It is very huge. There are many ice sculpture corpses inside now. If you want to take out the ice sculpture corpses inside, it will take a lot of time and manpower. This is just
If you can take your time, there is plenty of food at the moment.
Wait until all the big holes are filled.
There were still many ice sculpture corpses in the outer area, so Dakui and Daidai dug a second large pit, and the soldiers continued to throw ice sculpture corpses into the new pit.
The workload here is still not small. Once the surrounding ice sculpture corpses are dealt with, we can start building a coal mining base.
The seventy warriors were divided into three waves by Ye Qiong. One wave continued to collect the ice sculpture corpses on the periphery. After this wave of people went to the periphery, they had to be careful of scavenging beasts, because the ice sculpture corpses attracted many scavenging beasts.
So Ye Qiong called Daidai to work as their bodyguard and physical worker.
The second wave of people is responsible for building the base. They need to build a place that can accommodate a hundred people at the same time in the shortest possible time and can withstand snowstorms.
On the Snow Star, blizzards have levels, which can be roughly divided into five levels. Generally, a slightly heavier snowstorm will be classified as a level 1 blizzard after the wind reaches level 10.
The blizzard we fought with King Xiong Rong a while ago was of level 2, characterized by thunder and lightning, and the wind force was above level 12.
And like the one with the ice sculpture corpse a few days ago, it was a level three snowstorm. Not only was it heavy wind and snow, but the main disaster was the ice sculpture corpse falling from the sky.
There are bigger snowstorms going up, but they only happen once every few decades or even hundreds of years. You can not think about a snowstorm of that level for the time being. After all, if you are unlucky enough to encounter it, you can only blame it on bad luck, not bad luck.
If you find a place to take shelter in advance, your life will most likely be lost.
Now Ye Qiong's architectural requirement for this base is that it can withstand a level three snowstorm.
After the soldiers accepted the task, they began to build it. Because there were not many people, they could only rely on time to accumulate it for the time being.
The third wave of teams is responsible for maintaining the previously excavated passage. The currently known coal mine area is the location of the big pit. Now the mining area can only be centered on the big pit and slowly extend to the surroundings. Due to the lack of manpower and material resources
, if you want to find a mining site in another place, the workload may be greater.
However, for the sake of efficiency, we still need to find a good mining site later, one that is closer to the base here.
Because the snow level in the passage was very high, Ye Qiong called Dakui over. Dakui was more suitable for this kind of work.
In addition to these tasks, Ye Qiong is now more concerned about the cave.
If not for that night, Ye Qiong felt a sense of crisis deep in the cave, then the best mining base would be the natural cave, which can protect against wind and rain and is very large.
So Ye Qiong has already started to prepare to go in and explore, and the first problem that needs to be solved first is the light source.
In this world without electricity, light sources are all emitted by combustion. It is a bit unrealistic to find long-lasting gemstones such as luminous pearls.
Huozhezi is currently a relatively portable light source, but due to material reasons, if a firezhizi is used as a light source, the fuel is not sufficient. If a firezhizi is kept burning, it can last for about fifteen minutes.
In addition to Huozhezi, it is animal fat. If the animal fat can be refined to obtain the oil, the burning time will be greatly increased. Even if it is simply poured directly into the Huozhezi, it can also make the Huozhezi burn
The burning time is doubled.
At night on the snow star, humans don't need lighting. They can just sleep when it gets dark. Maybe some large tribes will store some things that can light up at night, but small tribes like Ye Qiong and others will not deliberately
To store these things.
but……
There might be a caravan. Ye Qiong sat on the ground and thought carefully about the list of caravan supplies that Tang Ying gave him before.
At this moment, he had almost forgotten about it, so Ye Qiong directly mounted the Snow Demonic Wolf and galloped towards the direction of the tribe, asking questions later.
The wolf ran into the tribe without stopping, and Ye Qiong arrived at the location of the caravan.
After jumping down from the door of Tang Ying's snow cave, Tang Ying had already heard the noise and came out from inside.
"Didn't you just leave this morning? Why did you come back again..." Tang Ying looked at Ye Qiong and said.
Ye Qiong patted the Snow Demon Wolf's head and let it go aside. Then he walked into Tang Ying's room. After pouring a cup of hot tea, he looked at Tang Ying and said, "You guys
Is there a candle nearby...it's something that can illuminate."
After hearing this, Tang Ying nodded: "Well, there are some, but not much. I'll go take a look. Please wait for me for a while."
After saying that, Tang Ying ran out. After a cup of tea, Tang Ying brought a shabby-looking leather bag over, put it directly on the stone table, and raised her chin at Ye Qiong: "Here.
!They are all here..."
Ye Qiong opened the bag and took a look, and saw a bunch of strange things. They looked like some burning tools, but most of them were empty. They were probably exchanged for things by caravans in some tribes.
.
After looking at it for a while, Ye Qiong closed the leather bag, shook his head and said: "These are not enough. The equipment is good, but there is still a lack of fuel. Come with me, and I will teach you how to refine oil. After you learn it,
, arrange for a few stronger women in the tribe to do this specifically in the future."
Exploring caves requires lighting equipment and fuel, and coal mining also requires lighting.
The big pit that Ye Qiong and Mustang King fell into can be open-pit mined in a short time, but it is not a long-term solution. It will definitely be moved underground later. The limitations of open-pit mining are too great. After summer, as long as
A heavy rain can cause the entire mine to be declared scrapped.
If you want large-scale long-term mining, you must start from below, build mine tunnels and mine cars, and continuously transport coal from it.
After Tang Ying nodded, Ye Qiong took her little hand and pulled her out of the snow cave.
