Chapter 247: The speed is not enough, let's lose four people (ask for a monthly pass~)
Walter spun around and came back, looking a little serious, "This speed...... It might be a little slow, come on, everyone sit down and try it. ”
More than two dozen people all sat on it, carrying too much weight, and the speed of the sled was even slower.
When it was time to officially leave, plus the luggage they were carrying, the speed would be reduced again.
After a circle, the group detected a speed of about 800 kilometers per hour.
This is the case in the mountains, if you are on the ice, there is less resistance, and the speed should be faster, but even faster is only about 900 kilometers.
That's too reluctant.
It's winter, and it's been dark for more than twelve hours.
At speeds of 1,000 kilometers per hour, they have more time to find shelter.
If the speed is at 900 kilometers per hour, they will face a huge crisis.
When they returned, they sat down together and discussed.
"This speed is too slow, can you improve it a bit?"
Luo Su stood up, "I'll check it out, and you can discuss it again to see if you can improve the speed from other aspects." ”
After Luo Su left, the others continued to discuss.
"Right now we only have two options, either to reduce the number of people or to reduce the luggage," Barrett said. ”
Hearing this, the expressions of several people in Okawa Country were a little ugly.
Su Xing took the lead and couldn't help but say, "How can you reduce people?" Putting people here, isn't this just waiting for death, this is simply indirect killing, completely contrary to morality and ethics, I refuse this proposal. ”
Everyone else shook their heads.
No matter who you put here, they will die in vain, and it is better to fight on the ice, so that there will be a way to live.
"Okay, it seems that let's start by lightening the luggage, Ju Chen, you clean up your backpack, and throw away things like hammers, we only have ten days left, and you are about to move in the capital of Okawa Country." Barrett said.
Several people in Okawa cleared their throats and coughed dryly.
The comment section is full of hahaha comments.
"Hahahaha...... Captain Barrett said what I have always wanted to complain about, you look at the teams of other countries, they are all weapons, and the necessary items for survival in the wilderness, they are completely light, and then look at our country......"
"Seasonings, thick padded jackets in winter, scythes for mowing grass, heavy machine guns, rocket artillery, nails, retainers...... Ju Chen also took out a big hammer, and now I wouldn't be surprised if someone pulled out a bag of snacks from their bag. ”
"It's like a treasure chest in their bag, they have everything."
"Look, they're getting their bags!"
To be on the safe side, everyone gets together and takes out the contents of their bags and discards them.
Walter and the others had almost lost almost everything in their backpacks, except for some pickaxes, ropes, and some weapons.
Firearms or something, the bullets are basically all used up, and the gun is also cumbersome, so they all choose to discard it directly.
The country of Tar and the country of Feijia are also similar, in order to reduce the burden, the things on their bodies have long been refined, and only the necessities are left.
Then everyone's eyes converged on the people of Okawa Province.
"Your backpacks, take them out and take a look."
First of all, Su Xing reluctantly took out a large package.
"I look like a lot of stuff here, but it's actually not heavy."
When I opened it, it was full of all kinds of ingredients, as well as a bag of bacon, some dehydrated vegetables, and really a lot of snacks in small bags, rice, and the like.
She also pulled her clothes apart, revealing a belt around her waist, all of which was covered in various seasonings.
Walter exclaimed, "You're a cook sent by Okawa Country." ”
Su Xing pulled up his clothes, "Cooking food is my hobby. ”
Barrett coughed, "There's no need to bring these ingredients over, let's eat them tonight, the beasts that are fighting now can be eaten, and the ingredients are a little redundant." ”
"Okay." Su Xing reluctantly agreed, "But I can't lose my seasoning, there are still more than ten days, and I can't go hungry." ”
Ju Chen's side is a little outrageous.
He had everything in his backpack, as well as nails left over from Luoxu's use, unused grenades, all kinds of messy firearms and weapons, and dozens of knives, and the entire backpack was hundreds of pounds.
"I'll go! It's so heavy, and you've been carrying it on your back and running with the team? ”
Ju Chen disagreed, "I've been accepting weight-bearing running for more than ten years, and I've long been used to it. ”
"These weapons, if you run out of bullets, you can throw them away, I'll look at throwing some away."
After some cleaning, there was at least fifty pounds of weight left.
Everyone sorted out and lost nearly four hundred pounds of things.
Here, after checking the sled car before and after, he found no defects, which was really helpless.
"Y'all get in the car, put everything in the car, and we'll give it a try."
Everyone sat down on the sleigh again for their first practice before departure.
The bobsleigh reached a maximum speed of 901 per hour.
This speed is still not good.
They came to the ice again and tried at a maximum speed of nine hundred and five per hour.
Keep trying after switching to diesel.
Luoxu also refined the diesel fuel obtained from the system, and as a result, it could only barely increase the speed to 966 per hour.
They tried dozens of times and never reached their target speed, which made them all a little annoyed.
Barrett spoke her mind.
"If we lose another six or seven hundred pounds, the speed should be able to achieve what we want."
Luo Su frowned, "Six or seven hundred catties? That is not to bring any luggage? How can this work, this river is what we need to cross, but there are more difficult challenges after we cross the river, no luggage, can we last for more than ten days? ”
After a moment of silence, Barrett said, "Just reduce the number of people by four." ”
Only then did Luo Su understand what Barrett meant, and his face suddenly sank.
"Do you know what that means?"
Barrett bowed, "It means that the rest of the people can live safely." ”
"You're sick!" It's the first time that Luoxu has made such a big fuss and started scolding.
"Giving up your teammates at the most critical moment, that's the way your Tahr nation is doing? In this way, can your comrades-in-arms really trust their backs to you? ”
"Our Okawa country has always never given up any of our teammates, the problem must be solved, but not at the cost of giving up the lives of teammates!"
Barrett's hand clenched tightly at his side.
"But now we have to make a choice as soon as possible, either we all are finished, or we only need to sacrifice four people, and everyone else can be safe, what else can we do?"
"Fart!" Luoxu couldn't help but scold.
"Who says you have to die if you spend the sea at night? It's not time to run out of water, and you're thinking about giving up on your teammates, what kind of mentality do you have? ”
