Chapter 111: Igloo

Jiang Si pointed to the map and said: "This location, let's go and take a look, it was shown that there was a hot spring before, I don't know, now it is minus fifty or sixty degrees, and the hot spring is frozen." ”

"If not, the temperature over there will definitely be higher."

But as long as the temperature can be more than 10 degrees, everyone should be more comfortable when traveling and doing things.

Everyone agreed to head to Hot Spring Bay, and after about an hour's journey, they soon arrived at their destination.

In order to provide a small place for tourists to play, a small pier has been built in the hot spring bay.

Unfortunately, after the blizzard devastated the place, it was impossible to see where the pier was.

It's all patches of white snow.

There is no network for Jiang Si to find information comparison, so he can only throw the anchor down first, and then pull the rope to find a pillar or weld lock that can fix the icebreaker.

Qin Shen got off the boat first, and after observing the surroundings, he roughly determined where the bollards were.

Immediately made a gesture to Jiang Sibi on the boat, "Give me the rope and shovel!" ”

Jiang Si threw the rope at him, Qin Shen caught it, and Jiang Sicai took two military shovels and got off the boat.

The rest stood on the deck, in different directions, patrolling the danger.

The snow was several meters deep from the ground, and the snow inside had been weighed down by the snow on the surface.

The armament shovel couldn't smash it, and Jiang Si's hand was numb.

Jiang Si said to Qin Shen: "I'll go get the drilling rig here." ”

Qin Shen shook his head, "Don't work so hard. ”

He stood up straight, grabbed the shovel with both hands, and slammed it to the ground and smashed it into the ice.

"Click~"

There was movement under Jiang Si's feet, and after a closer look, Qin Shen actually shook the solid ice surface many cracks as soon as he shoveled down.

But this was far from enough, Qin Shen was in the same position one after another, using the same posture, repeatedly inserting into the ice.

The crack grew bigger and bigger, until there was a click, and it cracked into several pieces, just in time, centered on the bollard beneath the ice, and exposed.

Jiang Si's eyes showed joy, "You are too powerful!" ”

Although she knew that Qin Shen's strength was strong, every time she brought her surprises and impacts, it was different.

Qin Shen smiled, took the rope in her hand, and tied it carefully.

Jiang Si was stunned in place, only feeling that Qin Shen's smile just now was a little gentle.

Jiang Linhai on the deck shouted, "Sisi, can you do it?" Do you need us to come down and help? ”

Jiang Si came back to his senses and hurriedly waved his hand, "No, we're already fine, we'll go up right away." ”

"Okay."

Back in the cabin, Jiang Linhai said a little excitedly: "Sisi, your uncle and I see that there seems to be a forest in the east, and we plan to go and fetch some firewood and come back!" ”

The materials on the ship and the materials in Jiang Si's space are consumables, and if you need to consume a lot of things one day, you won't have to.

Moreover, they need to build their ability to survive, even if they don't have the resources to replenish them.

In extremely cold weather, it is necessary to pile up a large amount of wood for heating, cooking, and boiling water for daily life, just like a fighting nation.

Jiang Si had also looked at it before, and there was indeed a forest in the east, but the forest was covered with thick snow.

Either the trees have fallen, or it is still dangerous to cut down one of them to the extent that an avalanche will bury them.

Jiang thought for a moment and said, "It's better to dig up fallen trees and not cut them." ”

Jiang Linhai said with a smile: "We know that we are also planning to build an igloo nearby, and when we are chopping wood, we suddenly encounter a snowstorm, so we will temporarily take shelter." ”

Igloos are a good choice, the Inuit live in the Arctic, they live in igloos, local materials, and good heat preservation.

Jiang Si nodded: "Well, you can repair a few, if you go ashore, you will also have a place to stay, which is used to sleep, or to store supplies, stack firewood, etc." ”

Niuniu was a little puzzled, "Sister, the igloo sounds so cold, let's live in it, isn't it cold?" ”

Jiang Si shook his head: "The igloo is more relaxed than expected, even if you don't light a fire, the temperature can be kept at more than ten degrees below zero." ”

"The igloo is like a sphere, with a round roof, arched walls, and the door of the ice kiss is lower than the surface of the ground, and a secret passage will be dug out, which can make the igloo very strong, and at the same time ensure that the cold wind does not blow in, and it is more warm."

Niuniu asked curiously: "If there is a fire in the house, won't the house be melted?" ”

"Inuit people who live in the Arctic make a fire in the house, and the temperature of the igloo will rise, reaching 20 degrees, but because of the principle that hot air rises and cold air sinks, even if a fire is made, the excess heat will be discharged from the vents, preventing a large amount of hot gas from accumulating on the ice wall and causing the igloo to melt."

Except for Qin Shen, the big guy and Niuniu seem to understand whether they understand or not.

They knew that they could build igloos for heating, but they didn't expect that there would be such a door-to-door explanation.

If you are literate, it will be different.

Shen Baoying asked again: "Then cut the house with ice cubes, there will always be gaps, won't there be air leakage?" ”

Jiang Si smiled: "No, there is a little more snow outside, and when the sun shines a little, it will freeze and harden." ”

Everyone almost understands the principle of an igloo and is eager to try to build an igloo.

Jiang Si said: "The igloo is a little more difficult than you think, let's build one in Class A first, and after mastering the technology, let's go to the shore." ”

If it's cold, everyone can go straight into the cabin.

Everyone changed into clothes, put on masks, goggles, and hoods, and came to Class A with all kinds of tools.

The snow on Class A has not been managed for several days, a thick layer, frozen hard underneath, and still fluffy above.

Jiang Si said to everyone: "Before we build an igloo, we have to make snow bricks, which need the kind of snow that is blown away by the wind and then piled up, this kind of snow is not as loose as snowflakes, nor as heavy as ice cubes, so brittle, easy to break, will be more precise, insoluble in looseness." ”

Everyone was surprised that it was not easy to fix the igloo.

Jiang Si pointed to the snow piled up on the deck: "These are very suitable for cutting into snow bricks." ”

Everyone went up to feel it, and under Jiang Si's command, the snow was cut into large snow bricks.

The snow bricks are ready enough, and it is time to build them.

Jiang Si said: "The bottom layer of the snow bricks should be pressed into the snow to ensure the stability of the igloo. ”

"Let's build it on the deck first, and it's almost enough to press a piece of snow brick into it."

Lu Zhifeng and Jiang Linhai built the bottom snow bricks, and everyone laughed, feeling that the difficulty was not very great.

Jiang Si said: "The snow bricks at the bottom do not need to be spirally tilted, of course it is simple, now we want to go up and build an arch, we have to polish the snow bricks to a certain slope and pile them up one by one from the inside." ”

To polish the slope and spiral masonry, it sounds very difficult, and for Jiang Linhai, who has been a contract foreman for half his life, it is completely trivial.

It didn't take long for him to grasp the essence, and he was stacked with a good look.
