Chapter 226: The Igloo and the Sled

In the middle of the night, the lights were extinguished. (.CC It's nice to see that there's a dim fire in the room, and it's a small stove burning coals. Chen Baichuan didn't want to be poisoned by coal in the middle of the night, so he connected a small copper pipe to the stove as a chimney and discharged the black smoke from the coal burning outside the house.

With the stove roasting and the body covered with a warm and soft quilt, such a room is undoubtedly comfortable on a winter night, and you don't want to take a step out of the door.

It stands to reason that the warmth of winter is always comfortably drowsy.

But it was clear that it was the dead of night, and Chen Baichuan, who was nested in the futon, still didn't feel the slightest sleep, and lay on his side on the bed tossing and turning.

He was still worried about An Ling's situation.

What is the way to transport kerosene and other materials to the front line? It's been two days since the first snow in Da Ling province, but the weather still shows no signs of warming. Da Ling is still like this, and the situation in Anling can be imagined.

What worries him even more is that tonight he received a tip about the situation at the front.

The troops sent by Qingguo this time were as many as 200,000. What surprised him the most was that the general of the unified army turned out to be Liu Tingfeng!

The famous general Liu Tingfeng is not a good opponent, Chen Baichuan knows that in front of this spicy and cautious old man, the invincible Chen Baili may not be able to get benefits. Especially at present, Chen Baili is a disadvantage in many aspects, whether it is the strength of the army or the national strength behind it.

This clash between famous generals is very unfair to Chen Baili.

However, the description of the loser in the history books will probably only be, "People slaughtered Chen Baili and lost here". [To see the latest chapters of this book, please go to the book .] In the long river of history, they are still just ants, and once they fail, they don't want to occupy a big chapter.

Liu Tingfeng, Liu Tingfeng......

After reciting this name a few times, Chen Baichuan finally understood Qingguo's intentions.

To make it clear, they and Daheng can't afford to spend it. Once the war with Daheng is stalemate for a certain period of time, regardless of whether Daheng is defeated or not, the national strength of Qingman and Barbarian may be dragged into half-cripples. When the time comes, you can still use the legacy left by Daheng to jump, if it is a tie or a failure, waiting for the end of Qingman may be a catastrophe.

Probably in Qingguo's eyes, Chen's army is relatively soft persimmons, and it is easier to find a breakthrough here.

"Do you want to pick a soft pinch of persimmons?" Chen Baichuan sneered, "This time I want to make you break your big teeth." ”

However, Chen Guo is indeed a soft persimmon, in front of Daheng, Qingman's national strength is weak, so Chen Guo is probably unsightly. Judging from the current situation, if Qingguo is to collapse his big teeth, Chen Guo's situation will not be much better, at least half-disabled.

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Chen Baichuan patted his head.

He had always thought that he would transport supplies in that way. This actually limited his thinking, and after he was freed from this confinement, several rudiments of ideas formed in his mind.

He remembered the Eskimo igloo, even though the hemispherical building made of snow and ice looked cold from the outside. However, as far as Chen Baichuan remembers, the igloo is sturdy and impermeable, and as long as a piece of animal skin or linen cloth is hung at the door, the cold wind can be kept out.

In addition, ice is a poor conductor of heat, preventing heat from being lost in the house.

However, the igloo can probably maintain the temperature at a temperature that is still unpleasant for humans, and it is still too cold for a house. It's just that there is no room for dislike at the moment, as long as the idea of an igloo can make the life of the soldiers on the front line in the ice and snow better, it will be a blessing.

Then another idea was sledding.

The sky is full of white light, and four or six sled dogs pull the sled, galloping across the white snow, pulling out a long line.

This is a romantic scene, and this is also the key to Chen Baichuan's solution to the transportation problem. Since the land route is not smooth due to the inconvenience of cars and horses in heavy snowy weather, it is necessary to change the means of transportation.

The sleigh is not difficult to make, but it is indeed more suitable for such snow-buried conditions than horse-drawn carts and ox-carts.

……

These ideas are probably not something that can be tried in the middle of the night, and after putting down a big stone in his heart, Chen Baichuan finally felt sleepy. He began to feel sleepy and finally fell asleep.

………………

………………

Chen Baichuan asked someone to freeze the water into ice bricks this morning, and then build it into a hemispherical shape. A little water was poured between the ice bricks to form the best binder, and soon a sturdy, wind-resistant igloo took shape in front of him.

Wu Datou said angrily: "You guy, you pulled me up early in the morning, just to let me read the igloo words with you?" Then I might as well go back to sleep! ”

Chen Baichuan stood at the door of the igloo and said, "You can come in and try it." ”

Wu Datou was a little suspicious, could it be that overnight, this guy was frozen and his brain was feverish. However, Chen Baichuan's cleverness has always left a deep impression on his mind, and he doesn't believe that Chen Baichuan is stupid at this time.

With that, Wu Datou said wittily: "You want to build a few igloos to store meat, right, but you don't need to build an igloo in winter, and the meat won't be bad." ”

Lord Chen looked at him deeply, and he had a sense of being stupid. He only said: "Just come in and take a look, and you're still grinding outside, can this house still eat you, or are you afraid that I will hurt you?" ”

Sure enough, guys with simple brain circuits are always easy to be excited. As soon as Chen Baichuan's words fell, Wu Datou angrily entered the igloo from the small door, and then said: "Isn't it just an igloo, I've been to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, will I be afraid of this?" ”

Chen Baichuan had already felt the change in temperature, and he asked with some excitement: "Wu Datou, Wu Datou, do you feel the difference?" Did you feel anything different? ”

Wu Datou said suspiciously: "It's dark here, what's the difference." If I want to see the difference, you'll have to light a lamp. ”

Chen Baichuan then remembered that in the impermeable igloo, it was dark at this time. But that's not the point, he instructed, "Didn't you notice the temperature change?" ”

"It's not much changed, it's just not as cold as it is outside." Wu Datou thought about the question a little straight, he said it with a big grin, and then realized something.

He was surprised: "It's warmer here than outside!" ”

Like Chen Baichuan, he has also been worried about the cold of the front-line soldiers these days. He just slowed down his brain circuit, not to the point of stupidity, and then after Chen Baichuan's guidance, he also discovered the role of this igloo.

Wu Datou said: "Is this igloo troublesome to build? ”

Chen Baichuan replied truthfully: "Even I can build ......"

Wu Datou thought to himself, even Chen Baichuan can build an igloo, then the ironclad front-line soldiers can build it!
