Chapter 20 A Request

Two days later, outside the institute.

"I think our greenhouse can still be improved."

While taking off the ice bricks, the insect girl said.

This work has been going on for two full days. The four players make ice bricks whenever it gets dark. Even Qin Chuan, who has been dismantling electrical appliances, also joins in.

There is no other reason than that Chen Jiu secretly adjusted the revenue curve of infrastructure tasks.

Now, you can get 1 point for every 10 ice bricks taken off, which is higher than all tasks at this stage.

"How to improve?"

After listening to what the insect lady said, Wig asked curiously.

"Look, we originally said we were going to build a greenhouse out of ice bricks for the purpose of growing light-loving plants. Now we have decided to grow mushrooms and build a hammer ice brick."

"You can just dig a hole in the ground - this thing has better thermal insulation effect, and you don't have to worry about the ice melting."

Chen Jiu chuckled, he thought Chong Lady really had some good ideas.

"Hurry up and pull me down. Didn't you hear what the NPC named Lin Shuang said before? When the ice wave comes, the snowstorm will even block the cave, let alone your underground cave."

"If it were really that good, there wouldn't be any buildings above the ground in Xiahe Village. Wouldn't it be more convenient for everyone to live in caves?"

"Besides, although the insulation effect of the soil is good, during ice surges the temperature will drop to minus 70 degrees, or even minus 90 degrees. If you dig too shallow, without insulation, if you dig too deep, the lower layer will easily collapse."

"Aren't you a civil engineer? You don't consider the problem of frozen soil?"

"Permafrost is not like this. Permafrost is harmful. What you said makes sense."

The insect girl thought for a moment and continued:

"But there are always solutions, such as using solid wood to strengthen the structure, such as abandoning the cave roof directly, and accessing through tunnels. But these can only be tried again after the ice wave passes."

"With the current hardness of the soil, even an excavator may not be able to dig it. It requires a shield machine."

"That's right, don't be ridiculous if you don't have this equipment. Besides, the ice bricks are not specially used for greenhouses. Don't we have to live in them ourselves?"

Qin Chuan on the side interrupted.

He quickly took another mold from the wood fire, poured out the ice bricks with slightly melted edges, and placed them on the ice wall that was already half a man high.

He is already very skilled at this job, which is the result of these two days of training.

"But one thing is that our progress is much slower than expected. If this continues, we will barely be able to build two igloos and a greenhouse before the ice wave arrives. I guess we will still have to sleep in the research institute."

"Just sleep, it's quite comfortable inside."

Chen Jiu sighed. He didn't want the players to really build all the outposts at once. After all, there were only four players at the moment, and the labor force was seriously insufficient.

"It's comfortable, but I'm afraid that if we get stuck in the cave due to snow, wouldn't we just go to jail?"

"The ice wave will last for four months. If I can't play this game for four months, how can I choke myself to death?"

Seeing Qin Chuan's worried expression, Chen Jiu's heart moved.

This is a big problem.

If you think purely from the perspective of "rebuilding Akachi", four months of OB is really not a big deal.

But the problem is, to other players, this is a game.

There was no playable content for four whole months. Wouldn't that kill them purely?

AFK is almost inevitable.

Therefore, I have to find a way as soon as possible. At least, it must allow players to go out and move around in an environment of minus 90 degrees, and they must also be able to do contentful activities.

This is not a problem that can be solved by infrastructure construction. We need to discuss it with Shuanghe and see what other people on this red land are doing in the ice tide.

You can't be like the people at the Antarctic scientific research station who just stay in the research institute doing research and writing diaries all day long, right?

——

Hey, don't tell me it's really feasible.

I won't say it myself, but two of the other three players are engaged in research, and the particle reconstruction system does not consume the original player's energy and physical strength. Instead, it only gives them an extra ten hours while the original player is sleeping.

Doesn't this mean that they have 10 hours more time than other people in reality?

How great to use it for work!

Is this the real King of Rolls?

Thinking of this, Chen Jiu felt a little funny.

This guy, before the player figured out how to get the bug, he got stuck first.

And the problem is still a bug in the entire real world.

This kind of thinking is unacceptable. We still need to think about how to introduce new activities or how to develop a plan to go out in extremely cold weather.

Just when he was thinking about how to have fun for the players, Shuanghe's life monitoring system suddenly sent an early warning message.

Two hundred meters away, someone was approaching.

Chen Jiu was instantly alert.

At this time, although it was just getting dark on Chijichi, it was impossible for anyone to go out for activities at this time, especially in the area around Wanku Forest.

The reason is simple: it is too dangerous for the indigenous people.

Even if you are hunting or gathering, you should do it during the day.

He immediately stood up and said to the other three players:

"Come on guys, someone is coming!"

Qin Chuan looked at Chen Jiu differently, picked up his bow and javelin from a short distance, and asked:

"Is that right, brother? I didn't see anything. Your perception is a bit outrageous. Could it be that it's turned on?"

However, before he could finish his words, the moving black spot in Chen Jiu's sight made a sound.

"It's me, your friend!"

He was stunned for a moment.

It's actually the woman named Lin Shuang!

Why did she come to Wanku Forest at such a late hour?

The other players were equally puzzled. Wig came closer to Chen Jiu and asked:

"Hey, Brother Jiu, why is this businessman NPC still here at night? Has the plot been triggered?"

"Well, I feel like it's also a side plot."

Chen Jiu opened his eyes and told lies.

Things like this that he cannot control will be treated as a plot in the future, and the explanation cannot be explained anyway.

"Oh oh oh, coming to the door late at night, isn't there a love connection?"

"It doesn't look like it. If there really was an emotional line, it would have been triggered that night."

The insect lady interjected.

That is to say, during the time when several people were discussing, Lin Shuang had already approached them.

Now all the players have seen her and noticed the huge package she is carrying behind her.

"Little sister, why are you here now?"

Wig greeted him actively, as if he wanted to be the first to trigger the plot.

Lin Shuang, who was opposite her, was already shocked by the scene in front of her.

This place is different from what I saw before.

The ground has obviously been leveled, a large area of ​​trees has been cut down, and several low walls have been built in the open space, and these walls are actually made of ice.

Are they going to build an igloo?

This is a good way to deal with the ice wave, but isn't their progress a bit too fast?

Such a workload, if it were done by the villagers of Xiahe Village, would probably take at least several days or even more than ten days.

But it only took them two days.

Where does all the energy and motivation come from?

If this is the case, then my plan may be in vain.

But no matter what, it came and she had to express her request.

Her eyes swept across the four players in front of her, and after taking a breath, she said in a sincere tone:

"I wonder if you could please save us!"
