0060.
-20 degrees Celsius during the day and -40 degrees Celsius at night.
The wind howled, mixed with a thick layer of dust, and did not stop for twenty hours a day.
This is not the Earth, and the time of a day and night is twenty hours.
No mountains, no obstacles, ...... Visibility is generally less than six meters, and only sand, dust, and dust can be seen.
For ordinary people, I am afraid that there is not enough cover, equipment, and supplies, and if they survive in this environment for more than three days, they will die due to various symptoms caused by the harsh environment.
But for Lin Yuan's foursome with internal force and mana attributes, it was not particularly unbearable.
Internal power can protect them from wind, sand and cold, and mana can allow them to directly condense pure water like the magical pure water in the novel.
Except that food cannot be replenished.

"Hmm, I really didn't expect that we are so strong now?"
Nan Lixiang asked Lin Yuan on the radio.
The latter was paying attention to the watch in his hand, and when he heard this, he asked rhetorically: "Strong?" What are you referring to? ”
"Viability, as now, the climate and the environment are almost impossible to influence our activities."
"Oh - the world of Journey to the West is also a high-level magic world after all, the power system is very high-end, and it is very common for monks there to go to heaven and earth."
"Because in that environment, there is no comparison, it is difficult to have an intuitive feeling......" Nan Lixiang shook her head, "Wow, this is only the effect of the level 60 skill 900 points of internal force and mana, it makes us feel so relaxed in such a harsh environment, I really look forward to the growth and performance in the future"
"Don't worry, with the assistance of my subordinate panel, we don't have a bottleneck in cultivation in the book, as long as we have experience, we can grow endlessly, unless we reach the upper limit of the sect's master's skills."
The two were exploring along the spiral trajectory in the wind and sand, Lin Yuan left the radio terminal host in place as a positioning point, and he and Nan Lixiang were in a group, and Miyamoto Li was in a group with a custom-made watch as an aid, looking for some clues.
The watch is made according to the requirements of Miss Saya, looking for a professional freelancer on the Internet, loaded with the program written by Miss Saya, and then using a data cable arranged in the sleeve, connected with any smartphone nowadays, you can achieve many functions, such as communication, regional positioning, etc., but well, after all, it is a primary test version, and there are often failures, which need to be submitted to Miss Saya-sama after returning to the earth, in order to improve.
The radio communication channels of several people, and Saya directly cracked several voice chat software on the Internet, deleted some useless programs, added some necessary programs, and assembled versions of the combination, and also encrypted the communication band with the security means that some hackers and radio enthusiast forums sold cute.
At this time, there was a prompt sound from the headphones of both of them that a new user had entered the current channel, which was Tsuko and Miyamoto Rei.
"Ah Yuan, we have discovered here"
"What is it?"
Miyamoto said, "A street sign or something."
"It says 'Welcome to the New Sanlitun Mining Area' in both Chinese and English," said Poison Island.
Lin Yuan: "......"
"Got it, you guys stay put, I'll go back the same way with Rika to retrieve the equipment, and then meet you"
"Okay"
※I ※ is ※ evil ※ evil ※ ※ divides ※ cut ※ thread※
Because visibility is so low, sometimes you may be close at hand, but you pass by.
That's why Lin Yuan will take a two-person team and a spiral search method.
On the premise of maintaining his strength, he and Rika first returned to the sand dunes where the radio host and luggage equipment were sold, dug up these things, and took them all with them before following the positioning instructions and rushing to meet them up.
"Welcome to the New Sanlitun Mining Area"
When they arrived at the established location, they found that it was really a street sign half-exposed on the sand dunes, not that the Chinese of Xianzi or Li was not good, and it was seen as a typo, and it was clearly written on it, "Welcome to the new Sanlitun mining area".
Tsui and Rei had already dug up the entire tin brand out of the sand dunes with a sapper shovel.
The material and paint of the signage should be very special, otherwise in this case of wind and sand erosion, I am afraid that it will be smoothed out in less than a few years and nothing can be seen. On the back of the sign, faint handwriting reads: Street sign No. 0060. There is also a simple schematic diagram showing the location of this so-called "New Sanlitun Mining Area" and the 0060 road sign.
Lin Yuan checked the direction, faced one direction, and said, "It's this direction."
"You've guessed it right, this is a crossing with your will as the core, and if this is a world that can't survive, it won't appear on the travel list," Miyamoto said.
She and Tsuneko were putting on the original luggage of the two of them, Tsuneko thought about it, temporarily put down the backpack in her hand, let Miyamoto Rei's feet block it, so as not to be blown away, pulled out her [Tiger Withdrawal] long knife, and with two soft sounds, she cut off the metal pipe under the iron sign and tied the street sign to the luggage behind Nan Rika.
"So I won't be afraid of getting lost, looking at the appearance of this planet, it seems that this mining area should be abandoned, and this iron plate also looks like no one has maintained it for many years, and now I suddenly have a feeling of looking for treasure, what about you?"
"It's okay, I hope it's not a bunch of rags" Nan Sayaka thought for a while and said, "After all, it's an abandoned mining area"
"What treasure can be found in the mines? Unless it's a gold mine or a gem mine," Miyamoto said.
"At least I can find a life-support device," said Tsumiko Poison Island, "but I also have a bit of a bad feeling about the life-support device in this environment...... Hopefully, it's not the Terrans in StarCraft that convert inorganic minerals into organic, green, viscous life-support devices......"
Lin Yuan walked in front to lead the way, the team had already set off, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but say in the channel: "Yo, now you not only know StarCraft, but also know the setting of the Terran and the Terran food station?" ”
"After all, she wants to be a woman who travels through time."
"Wow...... Why do you feel like saying this sentence in Chinese is so numb," Miyamoto rei complained.
"I think so myself," Tsuneko said.
At a distance of more than ten kilometers, a few people walked there after talking.
At this time, the wind and sand suddenly had a short stop, and the sun, which had been hidden behind the smoke screen for several days, finally showed its true body in front of everyone for the first time.
A complex of buildings with chimneys as high as high, half-buried in the sand, and farther away is a line of high sand dunes, which is about a mine.
"There's no reference, but I always feel like it's not too far from where we appeared."
Nan Lixiang hooked down the face towel with one finger, took a breath of air, and said.
"Here...... It was supposed to be a valley, but it was all filled with sand."
"It's so powerful, even the hills in the distance have been desertified...... I don't know what's buried down here."
"Wait, don't rush in yet" Lin Yuan also hooked off his face towel and stopped the three people who were about to walk inside. "We're all monks now, let's feel if there's any potential danger here, isn't it all like this in movies, the hero and heroine accidentally enter the valley of death and other plots"
"Uh-induction? How do you sense ......? Tsuneko asked.
Because Lin Yuan is a traverser, under the influence of the infinite flow and they themselves are residents from a similar ACG parallel world in this world, so they usually watch all kinds of movies and novels, and the current plot is indeed like a movie with a lot of horror atmosphere, and no one knows if there is danger hidden under the seemingly calm ruins.
"Let's try meditating and meditating first, in these two states, it seems that you can enter an ethereal state, more sensitive to the anomalies around you," Miyamoto suggested.
Several people took turns to meditate and meditate, and there was no abnormal feeling, except that carrying qi and blood and concentrating meditation were more difficult than the Journey to the West world, and then Xianzi, Li and Lin Yuan took out the [monk robe] and [jade pendant] and put them on, and entered the valley of the mining area.
I don't know how many years the wind and sand have been raging, except for the towers and chimneys with special functions, only the top floors of some buildings are still exposed in the entire mining area.
"Suddenly remembered, now the wind and sand are only temporarily stopped, and they will still be hung up again in a while, Rika, you better come in and have a round with us, so as not to get separated for a while, there doesn't seem to be any danger here"
"Oh, yes, you wait for me, I'll be there soon"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw in the distance, she jumped up from where she was hiding, fell directly from a high place, and then glided out of the sand dunes like a surf, and it didn't take two minutes to reach them.
※I ※ is ※ evil ※ evil ※ ※ divides ※ cut ※ thread※
The entire new Sanlitun ...... Well, the name is indeed full of slots.
After some searching, Lin Yuan and the others found that the entire mining area seemed to be ready to be flooded with sand and dust.
All the buildings are built against the mountains on both sides, and the outer edges of the buildings are mostly arced, almost all of the protective glass is three inches thick, and the military-grade sniper rifle in Nan Lixiang's hand can only leave a small white dot on it.
Some of the windows of residential units, although the glass is of ordinary thickness, have an additional layer of metal shields that can be raised and lowered by three inches.
"Well, I feel like we're the dead characters in a movie now."
Minami said as she pried open the metal shield on the top floor of a building.
Inside seemed to be the residence of a senior employee, and the glass a few centimeters thick was easily broken, Lin Yuan and the others entered through the window in turn, and then put down the metal protective plate again.
The light inside was dim, and they lit up the portable lighting fixtures they were carrying.
There was a thick layer of sand and dust in the room, and there were many things scattered around, books, drawings, rag dolls, clothes...... There are also photos.
Poison Island picked up a photo frame and brushed the dust off it with a glove, inside was a family portrait of a family of three, father, mother, and teenage daughter, all of whom were Caucasian.
"It doesn't seem to be an alien script, although I felt this way when I saw the street sign before, but I always had a wonderful sense of disobedience......"
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan asked.
"Well, but it's not dangerous, it's just a simple sense of disobedience...... "Tsumiko placed the frame on a counter instead of throwing it back on the floor.
"Is it a Chinese name on the outside, but a Westerner employee on the inside?" Rei Miyamoto said.
"Ah, a little, no, no, no, that's the sense of disobedience," Tsuneko nodded.
"Hehe" Lin Yuan laughed a few times, and then he said: "Li, you are carrying a spear, it is very inconvenient to move in such a residential-style layout, you stay with Rika to tidy up here, after so many days, we finally have a place to sleep, I and I will take a look around."
"Okay"
※I ※ is ※ evil ※ evil ※ ※ divides ※ cut ※ thread※
Exiting through the door of the room, there is an enclosed stairway outside.
However, Lin Yuan and Yanzi could feel that the air here was not dull, and they didn't know how to circulate the air, and the ground was also very clean, with only a faint layer of floating ash.
"It seems that this place has been abandoned in a planned way, and the retreat is in a hurry," Lin Yuan said after lighting up the corridor with an LED flashlight, and after seeing the scene on this floor.
"Hmm," Tsuneko came out of the opposite room, "This family is the same, it should have left with only important items, and all other household utensils were left at home, but from the types of clothes, I found some short-sleeved and skirts, there should be summer here, maybe it happened to be winter when we entered."
"I don't think the outside looks like there are four seasons, and if there are four seasons, you can't find solid water that doesn't freeze at all, and it should be like Siberian permafrost...... Listen, it's winding again."
The sound insulation in the corridor is excellent, but at this time, the three girls who participated in Lin Yuan's crossing and himself, the sensitivity of his facial features is far beyond ordinary people.
"And let's put this question aside for a moment, let's figure out what motivates people to give up here."
"Well, that's the point, but judging from the clothes, photos, and the wooden furniture and finishing materials in the room, it doesn't look like a natural factor, it should be a disease or an enemy, right?"
"This extremely dry and cold environment can rule out diseases."
"Maybe it wasn't like that back then, but you didn't find short-sleeved clothes and skirts."
As the two spoke, they continued their search down the stairway.
……
The entire residential area was abandoned in a planned and organized manner, and apart from some details that could be confirmed, Lin Yuan and the others did not find any other valuable clues.
Even with the exception of the window that they destroyed, it is possible that the entire residential complex remains intact, with no signs of fighting and no bones.
In a few days, Lin Yuan and the four of them searched the entire residential area, and they found a large number of books, newspapers, periodicals, and documents on paper carriers, except for the more primitive ink typewriters, they did not find any equipment related to office work and word processing.
There are no private vehicles, because in the tunnels of the mountain, a large number of conveyor belts for people are built, and the only private vehicles that exist here are probably bicycles.
There have been many traces that people in this world have been able to do interstellar travel and immigrate on alien planets, but the degree of automation of mining machinery is not high, and on some paper documents, there are 100,000 miners in the entire Xinsanlitun mining area......
Household appliances such as refrigerators and televisions are all in the style of the forties and fifties, and the rugged industrial style of large rivets, large iron chains, and large pipes is everywhere from residential to industrial areas.
At this time, Lin Yuan, who was already an elite electrician, only found wires, tap water and sewer pipelines in the distribution boxes and pipeline channels in the residential area, unless the people here have popularized wireless networks, or there is no concept of generating networks at all.
For some construction machinery that can be found, Lin Yuan just glanced at the operation panel, and he didn't need to take it apart to see, he could confirm that it was only the most basic circuit setting, without any electronic programs or the assistance of intelligent devices.
……
Because the air is dry and the temperature is very cold, most of the items in the residential area are kept quite intact.
Includes a variety of drinks and food in the fridge and cupboards.
Eating this kind of drink and food that I don't know how many years it has been preserved actually requires a lot of mental pressure, but Lin Yuan heard in the forum - it's just that it is said that after someone tried a batch of canned pork made in the sixties, nothing happened, and he was an example, or a taster, and the three of Yanzi, Li, and Lixiang accepted these materials.
Product information is printed on the outer skin of the cans and on the grain packaging bags.
Green Star ED42 District (Agriculture) Non-staple Food Production Co., Ltd.;
Produced by Chen's Enterprise Darit Planet Branch;
Huo Ciqi (edible oil) group Ying Holier Planet Branch;
……
Miyamoto is frying cutlets in the kitchen, a rice-like crop that tastes like rice, but with particles about the size of corn, because there is no energy for the entire residential area, and the fuel used is wooden furniture collected from other rooms.
Lin Yuan and the remaining two sat around the dining table, with a lot of information and pictures on the table.
"Hey-I really can't figure it out, the electronic technology is so backward, and the means of communication are still stuck in the special spaceship to deliver mail, how do the people here do interstellar immigration" Nan Lixiang fiddled with a stack of stamps and letters from various planets delivered by mail spaceships, and complained.
"With sufficient spirit of death, hundreds of years ago, our ancestors did not conquer the sea with only wood planks that could be subverted at any time" Lin Yuan said: "Besides, isn't there a special element here, based on this special element, the power furnace developed has far more power than rocket thrusters and turbofan engines, and there are no limitations in its own structure, so hundreds or even a thousand years ago, human beings in this world can do interstellar exploration."
After pondering for a moment, he added:
"When we conquer the sea, they conquer the sky"
"But a lot of things are still very strange, how the text here is mainly based on Chinese characters, although many instructions and materials are also in English," Tsuneko said.
"There's nothing strange about it, our modern history is that white people are in the front, but it doesn't mean that other parallel worlds are the same, and we don't know the world background of this world at all, if the ancient history is similar to us, the Han civilization was originally in the world leadership position most of the time, well, or the advanced position, so there is nothing strange about the emergence of a world dominated by Chinese."
Rei Miyamoto, who was cooking, said loudly.
"Don't look at me, there is so little information on hand, I only know that the human beings in this world may only have one coalition government or federation or alliance or something, and this is still unknown to the information hundreds of years ago" Lin Yuan shrugged.
Nan Lixiang took out the cigarette case, deftly poked the bottom of the cigarette box, automatically flew out a cigarette and fell into his mouth and held it, then turned out the lighter and lit it leisurely, and took a puff.
"I'm only concerned about when the power in the residential area will be restored, didn't we find the water treatment equipment here, such a huge underground water storage tank, with electricity, it can be put into use, we can also have water to bathe, I don't dare to be with Ah Yuan ** now, a bad smell"
Poison Island Tsuneko glanced at her, muttered "You didn't do less", and then said:
"Yes, Ah Yuan, when will the power in the residential area be restored?"
"The world's energy system is built on the power furnace of the man, and we have to find the raw material stored in the mine before we can restart the power furnace in the residential area."
"There is no danger in this kind of raw materials, will it be as reflective or unstable as nuclear raw materials?" Rika asked.
"Ah, we haven't found anything like protective clothing these days, and there is no emergency closure equipment in the residential area, and from the documents and materials found at hand, this kind of raw material is extremely stable, speaking of which, this mining area is mainly mined for raw materials, and there are some other rare minerals."
"But according to the map, the entrance to the mining area is on the ground, and now it is all under dozens of meters of yellow sand, and the gate in the underground part can be ten meters thick, and we can't pry it open with our manpower alone, how can we enter the mining area?" Poison Island took out a drawing and showed it.
"I saw some vent-like devices on the hill over there, which used to be the top of the mountain or a cliff, and I'll look for it from there tomorrow to see if we can enter the mine from there."
"Huh? It's you and Niko again, I always feel that the frequency of the two of you teaming up is very high," Rika squinted at the cigarette butt in her mouth.
"Why don't you go with Ah Yuan to drill those black pipes" Yanzi also followed her example and squinted at the past.
"Let me think about it...... I still don't want it, it's good for me to stay at home with Li."
