Chapter 17: Strategies to Survive the Winter

[One person's strength is always limited, and cooperation is the best choice to tide over difficulties together. β€”β€”The 20th day of the 6-toothed dolphin in the 146th year of the 4th era of Guangming]

Two drops of blood quickly melted into Griffon's body, and her body flashed with golden light twice, and then something unexpected happened.

The griffin feather actually broke through again, the lion's body grew fine scales, the feathers became like gold, the golden light shone with metallic luster, the claws also shone with metallic light, the ice crystal blue eyes were bubbling with ice-blue flames, the lion's tail was also red flames, and the thunder light flowed on the eagle's beak.

Rebecca exclaimed, "My lord, what did you do with it?" What kind of monster has this evolved into? ”

"Bold, how dare you talk to your master like that?" Griffon's mouth reprimanded Rebecca.

As soon as the griffon opened her mouth, I was also shocked.

I stared at it with wide eyes and asked, "Ling, do you speak human language?" ”

"Master, I broke the limit of the race and evolved to the god level, this is all given by the master, thank you master!"

"Master, I also want to sign a contract with you!"

The big cat also jumped out of the darkness and looked at me excitedly.

I kicked it away with a look of disgust: "Go aside, whatever you make a fuss about, go back to sleep!" ”

I'm tired today and just want to get rid of them.

The fatigue of saving the griffin has not disappeared, and I have not had a good rest on the back of the griffin yesterday and today, and I just want to hurry into the house and get a good night's sleep.

The next day it was still snowing heavily, the yard was already covered with a thick layer, the world was very quiet and no one came to disturb me, and I slept peacefully.

"Wellβ€”it's so comfortable, and I wake up naturally!" I got up and stretched.

"I'll go, who are you?"

At some point, there was a makeshift bed made of wooden planks next to my bed, and there was obviously a person lying in the quilt on the bed, and his long hair was exposed outside the thin quilt; I was really shocked to see one more person in the room, still a woman, but fortunately, I immediately recognized it as Rebecca, her blonde hair always had a faint lavender scent, it was so easy to recognize, otherwise I would have done it directly.

Rebecca rubbed her misty eyes and said aggrievedly:

"My lord, it's snowing outside and it's too cold, so I'll come to your house!"

"What's going on? Don't you live with Otham? How can it be cold? ”

I felt very surprised, and at the same time very distressed, thinking that she, a dignified princess of the empire, in order to save herself from being given away, was forced to come to my poor country to suffer this kind of suffering, and to do it for me, and never complained, my heart was both angry and sympathetic.

"This year's weather was very cold, the quilts weren't warm enough, and there wasn't enough wood, so Otam and I didn't burn the wood."

After listening to Rebecca's words, I realized the seriousness of the matter, and I didn't care about sympathizing with Rebecca, so I hurriedly got serious:

"How many of us do we have now? How did the supplies get so tight? ”

"If you don't count the Warcraft, now our population here is 599 people, and if you count the Warcraft together, it has exceeded a thousand people, and the original materials prepared are only enough, the number of four hundred."

"How did you add so many people all at once? Where did it all come from? Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore, whether you have figured out how to survive this winter. ”

The shortage of supplies is another thing that I expected, if I can't survive this winter, I will become a sinner for the ages, because these people and demonic beasts are gathered together because of me, and I am the main person responsible.

Worried, I immediately asked Rebeka to convene the staff again to discuss.

Seeing that so many people knew that everyone was also taking this crisis seriously, I didn't think much about it and asked straight to the point:

"How long will our supplies last?"

"Save a little and barely survive this winter!" Otam whispered.

I listened to the shame in Otham's voice, and though I wanted to say something more, I swallowed the words again.

Otam said that the situation was not tolerated, and he decisively vetoed:

"No! This is a very red flag, do you have any good ideas? First, we need to solve the problem of heating and insulation, and secondly, the problem of food; Finally, there are defensive measures. ”

"My lord, we can concentrate the people for a while, so that we can reduce the consumption of wood." An elf proposed,

"This is a solution, the wave concentration needs a large location, so use my cave, and take the opportunity to expand the cave and make it a shelter; Also, Can greenhouse enchantments be used to keep warm? ”

"No, the greenhouse enchantment is for plants, and if it is used on people for a long time, they will faint and die, and their lives are in danger." An elf denied the idea.

"Understand that the lack of oxygen, carbon dioxide poisoning, is indeed a big problem."

"Is there any magic for heating?" I put my hopes in magic again.

"My lord, we don't have to be so nervous, as long as the food is sufficient, we don't have to worry at all, we can maintain our body temperature through labor."

It's a Centaur man.

Her words made my eyes light up: yes, life lies in movement, and it won't be cold when you move!

"Makes sense, who else has any different approach? Let's talk about it! ”

"My lord, in fact, we have all discussed it, if there is a good way, it will be used a long time ago!" Rebecca said dejectedly.

I thought about it: Rebecca was right, they should have discussed it, otherwise there would not be a crisis like the one now, then I didn't say anything.

After figuring it out, I couldn't wait to put my thoughts out:

"Now that you've all discussed it, listen to my thoughts: transforming the Treasure Cave into a Vault is the first step, and I have a magic system that can be used to solve the heating and living fuel problems, but you need to build a magic resonator, which is the second step;

Food is the key to whether we can survive this winter, and in the current situation, we still need to collect food, so we have to take turns to go into the wild, which is the third step;

Since the population has grown more than I expected, this winter's supplies must be distributed uniformly to ensure that we get through the difficulties together, which is the fourth step; There is one last step, digging trenches and building city walls, since it is a sudden cold snap, then this winter will not only be frozen, but there are more places that are also frozen, and it is very likely that there will be a situation of material grabbing, so we must build defensive measures and be ready to meet the enemy at any time. ”

"My lord, what are you talking about the magic energy system?" Otam listened to my thoughts, and had been waiting for a long time to ask questions.

"I went out this time and found that the energy in the magic crystal can be compressed and extracted, so I did several experiments to transfer the energy of one magic crystal to another, and the result was very successful, and then I did another experiment, after setting the energy fluctuation frequency of the two magic crystals to be consistent, the energy of the magic crystal can resonate for a long distance to produce light and heat, if you put a non-energy crystal of the same frequency in the middle of them, it can also produce light and heat, and the shorter the distance, the lower the energy loss, which is very convenient."

"Won't there be an explosion?"

"Yes, if the two are not at the same frequency and dock, there will be an explosion, and it will be very powerful; But you don't have to worry, I have a way to accurately measure the energy fluctuations of the magic crystal, so it can be used completely; But there are a few delicate instruments that need to be made at the moment - here's the sketch, see which of you has this kind of craftsmanship? We have to make this device right away, and in the future our houses can rely on it for energy, and we don't have to worry about energy problems at all. ”

The sketch turned around and then returned to me, when a dwarf spoke up and said what I had hoped for:

"We dwarves and elves work together and can make it."

"Okay, then leave it to the elves and dwarven friends; Be sure to do it as soon as possible, and I can help you too. ”

"Now it's a matter of shelters, if the treasure cave is emptied, it will not be a problem to accommodate tens of thousands of people, but because of the big men, many of you dare not approach; Therefore, the cultivation is low and the big man can't be perceived, from today onwards, all go into the cave to clean up the stones, as for the treasure you find, hand it over first, and then distribute it at that time, so as not to cause you to quarrel, and the big lizard's things are not so easy to take, not only there is a curse on it, but also the mechanism protection of the Morton dwarf, so you should also be extra careful when cleaning up. ”

"Then there are the ditches and the walls, which you arrange for yourselves; Big cat, this is the time for your Warcraft friends to play a role, and the trench will be handed over to you, is there a problem? As for the city walls, all the tribes worked together to build them, and they all moved. ”

After arranging the matter, I handed the draft of the magic system to Otam and everyone began to work hard to prepare; I rode the griffon feather around and looked around a few times, and finally got a clear idea of the terrain that I had lived in for almost a year.

Although a few days of heavy snow have covered the sleepy mountains with a thick layer of snow, it is still easy to see the terrain around the mountain we live in, and combined with previous exploration of the surrounding area, it is easy to understand the topography of the place.

By the time Griffin and I flew back to the main courtyard, the tribes were already busy on the second slope of the mountain.

The first thing to see is the largest number of monsters that occupy the largest area, they have begun to dig pits and trenches, followed by giant mountains, goblins, and centaurs carrying stones for building walls; Smoke had begun to rise from the chimneys of the dwarves and elves' workshops, and there was a "clanging" sound, the elves and some of the dwarves had begun to build the walls, several angels were hovering in the distance in the air, and even the ice-rodent spiders were weaving non-stop under the guidance of beads.

The tension stirred me up, and I walked back to the cabin and took out a pen and paper to start designing the architectural plan.

The peak where the Golden Dragon's Lair is located is not very high, the total height is more than 500 meters, but the area is very large, and there are two shorter peaks in the early 100s on three sides, these two shorter peaks are very gentle and cover a very wide area; At the foot of the three peaks is connected to a wider basin, the basin is very flat, but it is covered by dense woods, and there are two streams in the middle of the basin that are seventy or eighty meters wide and not too small to pass by, these two air currents flow from the mountains in the distance, and the three peaks on this side flow into the cliffs of the back mountain, which is a very good living environment on the whole, with mountains, water and fields; I estimate that if it is developed enough to feed 100,000 people, it is too big for me.

My plan is to build a central complex with the mountain peak where the Golden Dragon's Lair is located as the center, combined with the low peaks on both sides as the main body of construction; Right now we're all concentrating on the second slope of the halfway point of the highest mountain, so it's very limited, but with the current situation, it's easier for us to defend.

But come to think of it, I didn't come to build a city-state, I just wanted a relatively large manor, so why make it so complicated, so I made adjustments.

The main peak, which is the peak where the mountain is now inhabited, is planned as the main residential area, and the residential area is divided into three layers: the first area, the second area, and the third area according to the upper, middle and lower slopes.

The first area is the floor of the big courtyard where I live now, and the four main buildings are planned to be: the shelter of the cave transformation, the southwest side of the mountain is close to the gate of the current courtyard to build a shrine, the northeast side of the magic energy main control room, the large courtyard is expanded into a large square, and a large statue of a golden giant beast and a big man is built in the center of the square;

In the second district, a central garden was built around which the houses of the various ethnic groups lived, and the area was planned as the main place of residence of the various ethnic groups, and the first protective wall was built in this area, which is the wall that everyone is building now.

The third area is to construct a large residential area as needed to prepare for the subsequent increase in population, and also to build the second protective wall.

The larger of the two low mountains is positioned as a pasture area, and the larger one surrounds the northeast and the entire north of the main peak, which is an arc-shaped mountain, which is half wrapped by the highest peak, and the area is wide and long, extending to the cliff behind the main peak; The terrain above is also relatively diverse, with boulders, rocks, caves, streams, meadows, mountain bags, etc., but the main ones are meadows and mountain bags, which are more suitable for animal activities, so I positioned it as a ranch area, which will be the main residence of the monsters in the future.

The smaller low mountain is wide from north to south and not long from east to west, and most of them are gentle earth hills, located in the south of the main peak, the junction is almost parallel to the second slope section, and there are more ponds, suitable for planting vegetables and fruits and breeding chickens, ducks, fish, etc., so it is characterized as a farm area; The outer basin is naturally a large growing area, with land and water, which is perfect for large-scale crop cultivation.

After the general distribution, the rest is planned to be handed over to the clans and monsters to design and construct.

I then began to plan the magic energy system, which is the main energy supply system of the manor in the future, and I must not be careless; This is also the reason why I set the core system of the magic energy system in the northeast side of the cave, because the mountain there is relatively thick and complete, there are enough large stones to re-excavate a stone chamber, and it is close to the pasture area, and the temple set up on the southwest side of the cave is because the beach and the cemetery are on that side, and the statues of Aoguang and Pandora will be placed in it, as well as my own statues, and the big man has a large statue in the square, so there is no need for it to place the statue in the temple.

Before planning, I even had the name of the manor in mind, and it was called Behemoth Manor.

Originally, I showed the castle model to the various tribes, but at that time, the idea was immature, so there were a lot of empty spaces reserved, so I didn't have any burden to add it, but my plan this time is still going to make a big adjustment to the castle design for them before, I hope they won't blame me.

After the planning was completed, I called Rebecca and asked her to tell the tribes to gather the main personnel and have a new discussion.
