Chapter 563 Igloo
Chapter 563 Snow House
In winter, will people and livestock be frozen to death?
It is impossible. Winter on the wasteland will not be so kind. The cold is a demon and will take away the lives of people and livestock. However, the cruel thing is that the Huns often pray that winter is colder.
The colder it is, the more snow it falls, the more people and animals it freezes to death, and the more snow water it accumulates on the ground, and the water plants will be particularly abundant in the coming year.
Zhahegan told Xue Mei about this.
"Don't be pessimistic." Xue Mei said, "There will always be a solution."
Zhahegan: "You have a way?"
"have."
"What method?" The eyes of the thorny eyes were shiny, "Princess, how do we do it?"
Xue Mei laughed: "Don't worry, let's talk about it then. It's useless to say it now, it's not snowing yet."
Killing: "..."
Xiao Jingcheng then came again and personally delivered the coal mine raw stone, iron sand, and three blacksmiths.
He asked Xue Mei repeatedly: "Isn't really going back?"
"If you're busy, go back."
Xiao Jingcheng said again: "I will ask Xue Run and Cheng Lantao to take their respective subordinates to inspect the Governor's Office and protect you. They will not go back for the time being."
Xue Run had only two hundred men under his command, while Deputy General Cheng Lantao had three thousand men under his command, one thousand of whom were cavalry.
They are transporting things here this time and will not return for the time being.
Xue Mei thanked me.
Xiao Jingcheng touched her hair again.
He also brought three thousand cavalrymen, and Xue Mei asked him where he was going. Xiao Jingcheng did not return to Baiya Town, but planned to search around and clean up some of the remains as much as possible.
However, he is the head coach, and it is his duty to stay in Baiya Town. He plans to search for it for half a month before going back.
On the Governor's Office, Xue Run and Cheng Lantao dislike each other. Xue Run was not under the jurisdiction of Cheng Lantao, and the two of them had a quarrel even more.
If it weren't for the fear of taking military law, Xue Run would definitely want to fight Cheng Lantao.
"Don't make trouble all day long." Xue Mei said of his younger brother.
Xue Run: "He offends me first. When he returns to Beijing, I must beat him up."
"He has many brothers, but you can beat him?" Xue Mei couldn't help laughing and crying.
The raw coal has not been washed yet because it has not snowed yet and there is not enough water source; while the iron sand has been made into a honeycomb coal stove, which has become a scale, and can produce more than a hundred or more pieces a day.
All the troops of the Zhahegan came to help.
Before winter began, they stocked a large amount of hare meat, skin, beef and mutton, as well as raw coal and iron stone stoves.
Everyone is very busy.
In a blink of an eye, it was mid-September and the first snowfall was falling.
The first snow fell and the temperature dropped to minus one or two degrees Celsius.
According to the tradition on the wasteland, some thin cattle and sheep need to be slaughtered at this time, and the grass is preserved for stronger livestock to eat.
When slaughtered, Xue Mei went again.
She still asked Zahegan to follow her method and leave anything on the cattle and sheep without wasting any waste.
The internal organs and intestines were originally fed to wild dogs, so Xue Mei also asked him to stay.
"...you can make sausages." Xue Mei said, "It just so happens that our salt is enough."
At zero or two degrees below zero, it can still survive on the grassland, and the snow is not particularly thick.
At night, Xue Mei would gather many women of the Tongluo tribe to teach them how to cook food; after eating, they would also teach them how to weave wool thread.
The wool is woven into thread, then woven into cloth, and then made into a wool blanket.
Xiao Jingcheng came every ten days to provide supplies to Xue Mei. When he saw the wool blankets they made, they actually had patterns. He was surprised.
Xue Mei smiled and said, "I've been busy with this these days. When winter comes, these wool blankets can keep the cold."
Xiao Jingcheng still felt that it was too hard.
It gets cold every day, and people will really freeze to death on the wasteland.
Xue Mei didn't care.
He came very coincidental too.
Because he couldn't bear to leave Xue Mei, he stayed overnight, and the next night they were attacked by the Helan tribe.
Xiao Jingcheng led his troops to fight back, and won a great victory, seriously injured the Helan tribe. The young general of the Helan tribe was also injured and ran away with his men.
Currently, not far away are Xue Yantuo's tribe and Keratus tribe.
The weather is getting colder and colder.
When it comes to winter, it is the coldest time of the year. The temperature can reach minus ten degrees Celsius, and sometimes even minus twenty degrees Celsius.
The most terrifying thing on the wasteland is not the low temperature, but the wind.
Under the low temperature of more than ten degrees below zero, strong winds raged, and at this time the tents and clothes had almost no effect.
Fortunately, when the first wave of strong wind came, the temperature was not particularly low, so it did not freeze to death.
After the strong wind, it will snow.
The snow is a real goose feather heavy snow, which is sprinkled all over the sky. After a moment, the entire vision is blocked and it is all white.
Xue Mei seemed to see such heavy snow at the first time.
The thorny fucked like a crazy cow.
He told Xue Mei: "The livestock can't be kept, and people can't be kept."
Heavy snow will cover the grassland, and after the heavy snow, the coldness of the snow will really freeze people to death.
"Don't worry, the time is up." Xue Mei said, "Let's start to get busy."
Zhahegan: "Why are you busy?"
The leader of the Ge Tsai tribe stood in front of his tent, looking at the heavy snow in his sight, feeling confused.
The snow this year is particularly heavy, and more than half of the tribes and livestock will be frozen to death.
Only by wrapping the nobles tightly with sheepskin and cowhide layer by layer can they barely survive. Those slaves who don’t even have coarse clothes cannot survive.
"The leader, the Luo tribe is washing the black stone with snow water, as if it is going to burn it." The mole came back and reported.
The second mole also came back: "Tongluo is using snow to make stones."
"Use snow to make stones?" The leader of the Keratana tribe was puzzled.
Xue Mei did take people with him and use snow to make stones.
They put the snow in the mold and then poured it on a layer of water, which solidified into a snow stone after a while. This snow stone is as strong and firm as a real stone.
Everyone was busy with this matter, and after a moment, there were snow stones all over the ground.
Because the snow was dug up, the snow on the grass was not that thick.
"The next thing we will do is build a house." Xue Mei said.
She was going to build a sleaf on the wasteland.
The Eskimos' smirkhouses are very famous, and there are also such smirkhouses on extremely cold planets in the Space Age.
The smirk can not only resist the cold wind on the wasteland, but also keep warm.
Make the snow into a bed and put on a cowhide mattress, and you can sleep directly without being particularly cold.
You can even burn the stove in the room.
But when building a snow house, first install the stove, and then release the small smoke from the stove from the reserved hole to avoid carbon dioxide poisoning in the snow house.
People from the Tongluo tribe don’t quite understand.
Tens of thousands of people were united, plus the soldiers of the Governor and the soldiers of Xue Run and Cheng Lantao, 100 sleafs were built in one afternoon.
The suspension of work was simply because they dug up all the snow in the radius and there was no raw material.
"I'll stay in one tonight, you can all try it." Xue Mei said.
It is natural to try to tie the body together.
There is no wind in the snow house. As long as there is no wind, the heating around the human body will not be blown away, and it is limited to feel the cold.
In addition, with the stove, it is very warm to sit in front of the stove.
As for the snow bed, I certainly can't say how comfortable it is. But it's still the same saying, it's warmer and easier to fall asleep than in a tent.
There are 100 smirks, and people have gone in.
On Xue Mei's side, she is with two maids.
When she woke up early the next day, Cai Yuan got up first, planning to make some snow in and boil water to wash her face, but then quickly came back and pushed Xue Mei: "Miss, Miss!"
"What's wrong?" Xue Mei was startled by her.
Cai Yuan: "You go out and have a look, it's quite scary outside."
Xue Mei: "..."
