Chapter 192: The Winter Lord's Bitter Cold Code
After the crisis was resolved, the dragoons and engineers trapped in the camp hurriedly began to pack their things and start the steam truck to prepare to continue their journey, they had been trapped here for most of the day, which had seriously slowed down their progress.
However, after Bai Yuqi inspected the camp built by the engineering team overnight, he was not very satisfied and stopped their operation.
Anyway, it's been delayed for most of the day, and it won't be far to set off at this time, so it's better to continue to rest for one night and set off early tomorrow morning.
After all, steam trucks are not like the cars of later generations that can run with a little fire, and they have to make a fire and boil water for half a day to start running slowly, and when the speed increases, it will be dark.
In addition, Bai Yuqi also discovered that the effect of architectural spells on the snow field was very poor.
The harsh [Aoneng Vacuum] environment severely reduced the construction capacity and spell casting effect of the engineering team, resulting in the construction of a camp that was much smaller than expected.
And because of the frozen soil on the snow field, the wall contains a lot of water and ice and snow, and it doesn't matter if the weather is cold now, when the spring flowers bloom, the mixed ice and snow in the wall melt and lose water, which will cause the whole camp to become like a honeycomb and may collapse at any time.
If we can't build a sturdy permanent structure, even if the engineering team set up camp on the grassland, it will be a waste of manpower.
It seems that his intention to build a network of transit stations on the steppe this season is a bit taken for granted.
Although the craftsmen and apprentices under the [Tiangongmen] have mastered unscientific construction methods and can easily shape the hard frozen soil on the snowfield into buildings, they are too seriously affected by the season and the environment.
Rather than this, it is better to take a more trouble-free approach to achieve the goal.
Bai Yuqi checked the amount of faith he had accumulated, and the system recommended it to him after activating it ruthlessly after entering the cold environment, but at that time he felt that it didn't seem to be of much use: "Winter Lord's Cool Codex"
This is a complete set of ice and snow spells, including [Moving Ice and Snow], [Ice Wall], [Icicle Technique], [Ice Shaping Technique], [Ice Constant Technique], and [Turning Snow into Ice]...... A series of ice and snow versions corresponding to earth-and-stone building spells such as [Soil Moving], [Stone Wall], [Rock Pillar], [Stone Plastic], [Steel Rock].
Contrary to the impact of earth and stone building spells in ice and snow environments, ice and snow spells can be greatly increased in cold environments!
It may be because of the ice and snow spells, which are more severely restricted by the environment, and the existence of time is not as permanent as that of earth and stone spells, even in this [arcane vacuum] environment, the effect that can be achieved by consuming the same mana is as high as ten times worse!
This greatly solves the construction efficiency of the engineering team composed of craftsmen and apprentices in the snowfield.
Although these ice and snow buildings will disappear without a trace when the weather warms up and the spring flowers bloom, it is easy and fast to build!
When the time comes, it's a big deal to come back and build a permanent camp with earth and stone spells.
Fortunately, after the "miracle immortal method" was used to build the Taiji Imperial Capital, the millions of people in the original Chang'an have been contributing their faith to Bai Yuqi in a steady stream.
Moreover, after successively abducting Qin Qiong, Qu Tutong, the eldest grandson Wuji, and the Emperor Li Yuan into the [Wuji Gate], and signing various contracts such as [disciples], [apprentices], and [Qi Ling], he ruthlessly absorbed a number of beliefs.
Nowadays, the amount of faith can be regarded as a relatively abundant state, and it is still bearable to selectively activate some of the ice and snow spells.
Therefore, Bai Yuqi used [Skill Sharing], [Joint Spellcasting], with [Spell Enhancement], [Spell Upgrade], [Spell Leap], [Spell Strength], [Spell Extreme Effect] and other specialties, and the disciples of [Tiangongmen] joined forces to release an ice and snow version of [City-Building]: [Ice Crystal Castle].
It was decided to change the original plan, abandon the construction of permanent camps once and for all, and build convenient temporary ice and snow camps, and deal with the past winter first.
After passing on the ice and snow construction skills to the craftsmen around him.
Bai Yuqi also assigned a part of the craftsmen of the engineering team to teach them an ice and snow version of the road construction spell [Frozen Road].
Let them build an ice road to the base camp of Yuanlou Town along the snow road crushed by the convoy, and let the rear transport a large number of supplies to fill No. 1 [Ice Crystal Castle].
At the same time, the steam trucks that moved slowly on the snowy fields were reinvented.
It has been converted into a "locomotive" and is ready to build a winter-limited version of the "Iron (Ice) Road Transportation Line".
With the spell [Ice Sculpting], it is much easier to shape an ice track than it is to build a real railway.
The only thing Bai Yuqi needs to consider is how to stop the "fire (ice) car", which has no wheels except for the locomotive and is converted into ice blades to reduce friction and mainly relies on inertia to advance.
After all, it is a simple modification, so it is easy to make the locomotive modified by the steam truck run on the ice track, and the load-bearing problem can also be solved by thickening and thickening the ice rail.
But as soon as the ice car is running, under the current conditions and technology, it is not so easy to make it stop according to the driver's wishes.
In the end, Bai Yuqi simply chose the design of "hard-core brakes", that is, when he was about to arrive at the destination, he put down two rows of "brake piles" and forcibly scraped the ground to improve friction.
As for the carriage mounted behind the locomotive, it is better to solve it, [Ice Boat Technique] + [Ice Constant Technique] As long as the shape is fine-tuned, a string of carriages can be created...... It's nothing more than a large ice plough hanging behind the locomotive, section by section.
The same design was also used by Bai Yuqi in the "sled transport team".
After the strings of ice climbing plows were hung together, let the disciples of the [Royal Beast Gate] control those steppe wolves to drag them, and it became a train of ice trains without tracks!
For these steppe wolves whose hungry bellies are twitching, there is Bai Yuqi, the "wolf king" who has completely subdued them, and a large number of [Royal Beast Gate] disciples who have mastered the art of taming beasts and [animal conversation] to lead the team.
Being tethered to a rope and dragging a sleigh and constantly running between the two locations is not a problem at all.
This is because the message that the disciples of the [Royal Beast Gate] conveyed to them was: "Let's go to Cafeteria A to eat!" and "Let's go back to Cafeteria B to eat!".
