MTL - My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!-Chapter 586 Snow trouble, alchemy furnace upgrade!
The speed of the snow cover is far beyond everyone's expectations, and it is worthy of the classification of 'medium disaster'.
Compared with the disaster that would explode to the extreme in an instant.
Although this snow is not immediately fatal, it is like a frog boiled in warm water, and people can't ignore the damage it brings.
"Three kilometers, the snow thickness is 0.35 meters, and it is estimated that 760 people will be invested in manpower. In the next 12 hours, the existing height will remain unchanged."
"Five kilometers, the snow thickness is 4.3 meters, and it is estimated that 540 people will be invested in manpower. In the next 12 hours, the height will be maintained at 5 meters."
"Ten kilometers, the snow thickness is 7.2 meters, and it is estimated that 100 people will be invested in manpower. In the next twelve hours, the height will be maintained at... 9.1 meters!"
Sitting in a bright conference room.
Every time Chen Shen finished reading a piece of data, he raised his head and looked around at the expressions of the crowd.
Until the three readings are finished.
He put down the manuscript, and like the others, he only moved his frozen red hands forward, holding the thermos cup with hot water.
In the room, there is a heating pipe passing through, and the temperature is always kept at about 25 degrees. The warmth makes people a little dizzy.
The water temperature of the thermos cup of forty or fifty degrees does not bring the imaginary warmth, but an unspeakable burning sensation.
Paired with the feet that were already unconscious, this rest was originally meant to be 'enjoyment'.
Now it's just past nine o'clock in the evening, and it's three hours of rest.
But before the first day had passed, the thickness of the snow on the periphery of the depression had already reached a full seven meters.
Looking at this situation, in the next seven days, I can't say how thick the snow is at 30 meters, but there is absolutely no problem with 20 meters.
How to clean up.
Where to clean it up.
It has become the biggest problem in front of everyone.
Soma, who was sitting in the main seat, lowered his head and thought deeply, and the others did not speak.
For a time, everyone's eyes flickered, and the atmosphere in the room became more and more dull, making people feel suffocated.
Half an hour.
Soma was able to speak up:
"What about other territories, have you collected any information?"
The voice just fell.
Pei Shao, who was still a little sleepy just now sitting at the bottom, immediately woke up and said directly: "According to the dual collection of radio and disaster prevention videos, currently 60% of the people in the New World have chosen to temporarily give up their territory, mainly specializing in tasks, and the remaining four Chengli, 10% has all kinds of means, and 30% is struggling to resist, just like we are now.”
"However, because of the extreme punishment at the bottom of the game, those who gave up their territory did not dare to rush out of the border, and could only survive on the snow!"
A disaster, with convenient information dissemination channels, can be regarded as an eye-opener for all players in the wasteland.
The Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers.
Almost every race and tribe has different methods and effects to deal with disasters.
The depressions are not the end of the land, nor the front.
"What about the tree man territory, is there any news!"
Regarding his only ally, Soma asked again.
"There's no news for now. Their interiors are also covered with snow. I don't know what they're doing!"
The heavy snow blocked the channel of information dissemination, and everyone's territory once again became an isolated island under the disaster.
I thought about it and thought about it for a while.
Soma could only wave his hand temporarily, announcing the dissolution of the meeting.
"Those who haven't rested should go to rest first, Chen Shen, Qi Qin, and Li Hu will stay!"
The door opens.
The people who were not named wrapped tightly in their clothes and filed out into the cold wind.
In a moment, there were only four people left in the room.
"This time, I don't have a good solution for the time being. I can only maintain it first and slowly look for opportunities!"
Straight to the point.
In the face of the remaining confidants, Soma acted as a bachelor.
It wasn't that he was shaking the military's heart, but this time, facing such a large-scale disaster with the background of the depression, there is really no way to do it.
The first acid rain was nerve acid, which did no damage to the land and plants. It only needed to avoid being soaked in the body for a long time.
The second blizzard, although the wind and snow were heavy, as long as you can find a place to hide, you can pass it smoothly.
In addition to the thickness of the snow, the total is less than one meter three.
It's a hot day.
Snow melts.
It only took more than ten days, the snow water was absorbed by the soil below, and there was no trace of snowflakes to be seen.
And on the third time the ocean came, everyone had a lot of supplies on hand, and they even built a boat, which was not worth the sea water below.
But this time.
No matter how you hide or hide, you won't be able to escape!
Blizzard, it fell on the entire New World, everyone's territory.
Unless you escape now and return to the deep sea, no matter where you go, you will be covered by this snow.
Even if the depression can successfully push the snow out of the territory.
When the time is up, the temperature rises.
Several neighbors around do not remove snow, and this snow accumulation will eventually turn into a violent flood, sweeping everyone's territory.
"It's not difficult to maintain. Even if it snows heavily, our current strength can ensure that the village will not be covered by snow."
"But far away..."
Shaking his head, Chen Shen's mentality is not too pessimistic.
Li Hu, who was on the side, also remarked: "Before the big deal, let's build some more boats, and then everyone will go straight to the boat and it will be over. I still don't believe that it is impossible to die without land!"
As soon as Li Hu finished speaking, Qi Qin also gave his own thoughts: "I feel that those territories that can resist disasters are going to be unlucky. Under such disasters, their performance is too strong, and it is easy to become the target of public criticism!"
"Let's take a step by step, don't be too pessimistic!"
"If we can't get rid of this snow in the end, it's up to us to stay or go!"
After being appeased for a while.
Pointing to the manuscript on the table, with Soma taking the lead, the four of them began to plan against each other again.
The disaster is more severe than expected, and the plan needs to be more detailed to better deal with it.
From the beginning to the end, the meeting was over after nearly an hour and a half of discussions and revisions.
"You guys should go down and rest first, you already have experience today, so you don't have to work too hard."
"Just make sure you have a good shift!"
The three agreed, got up, opened the door with the revised plan, and left in sequence.
After everyone had left, Soma sat and studied again, and was the last to walk out of the room until the bell rang at eleven o'clock at night.
A depression at night.
The temperature has reached minus twenty-five degrees.
This temperature is somewhat different from the minus 20 degrees described in the game before, but no one can guarantee whether the game is talking about the body temperature or the outside temperature.
Outside the house.
The first thing that catches the eye is the light that was placed before the disaster.
With the transmission of electricity, more than a dozen street lamps in the village are still sticking to their posts, emitting a warm glow.
And a few spotlights collected before, even more dazzling white light, illuminated the entire foggy sky.
During the day, the ground of the village is not covered with snow yet, and you can see the undulations and cobblestones on the road.
But at night, after the villagers' physical strength decreased, it was difficult to guarantee that a thick layer of snow fell on the ground.
Turning off the lights in the room, closing the button on his chest, Soma stepped out on the snow, making a squeezing sound.
Take a few steps and make a turn.
to the center of the village.
From the windows of several prefab houses, there were traces of white gas coming out, proving that the temperature inside was much higher than the outside.
Saw Soma coming.
A few villagers who were still cleaning the snow quickly lifted their masks and stood up straight with a look of respect.
"have you eaten?"
The villagers' faces were flushed red from the cold because of the temperature.
Gu At the elbows of the two people, Soma also clearly saw traces of torn clothes, apparently slipping in the snow and getting injured more than once.
"Eat, eat, we're all full!"
I was afraid that Soma would not believe it.
The leader in charge also clumsily dug it out of his own pocket, took out half of the frozen hard pancake, hehe giggled.
The days of fighting against disasters, although hard.
But at the end of the day, in addition to exhaustion, there is a sense of fulfillment and achievement.
This kind of feeling only makes one's whole body use up the energy, and can't wait to be on the front line 24 hours a day.
It is clear that this team is really full, not tired after the battle.
Su Mo stepped forward, first patted the captain on the shoulder, and then surrounded everyone's expressions with emotion in his eyes.
"That's good, that's good!"
"Please pay attention to my safety, no one can do without this territory!"
Everyone excitedly said in unison, "We understand!"
Disasters are strange.
Sometimes, it is a life-threatening knife, and the person who urges it to retreat step by step is powerless to fight back.
But sometimes, it is a touchstone, tempering people's will, exercising people's xinxing, and shortening the distance between people.
Age of Civilization.
There are no neighbors in the city, and there are no real cups and teapots, only those in the elevator ignore each other and guard each other to maintain the relative integrity of each other's space.
But in the doomsday wasteland.
Only this battle.
Soma was totally convinced.
The thousands of people who had improvised together before will have a closer relationship, and they will become true friends, and become comrades who are willing to give their backs to arms!
After striding forward, after leaving the village gate, Soma went to the surrounding area to continue his inspection.
Because of the previous deduction of electricity.
The fuel in the territory has accumulated a lot, and it is completely enough to use the mechanical power of the depression for several days.
So even at night, several machines are working non-stop, helping the villagers greatly reduce their workload.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
At the three-kilometer border, Su Mo saw Lu Kuan, Ai Jianfeng and others who were surrounded by them from a distance.
Seven or eight scientific researchers, in today's weather, have lost the mind to stay indoors.
After I came over in the morning and made a report, I didn't know where to go.
at this time.
When they saw Soma coming, everyone moved out of the encirclement, revealing a machine that was about half a person in height in the middle.
"We're trying to replicate the single-person snowplow, but this...it feels a little impractical!"
With that said, Lu Kuan pressed the button on the handle.
The next second, the snowflakes on the ground were lifted up high and flew into the distance. After about seven or eight meters, they fell weakly to the ground.
I swept it, but not completely.
On Earth, using such a machine only needs to sweep the snow on the road to the side of the road, and then there will naturally be vehicles to pull the snow.
But in the wasteland, what the depression needs is not snow removal, but a machine that can quickly digest snow.
"This guy, we still came up with pieces together, but we didn't expect it to be so impractical, what a pity!"
Close button.
There was a trace of disappointment on everyone's face.
It is said that technology changes life, but at this time, even if they have countless knowledge in their minds, they have no place to play.
Raw materials limit them from developing more.
The tech tree cap also restricts them from making more items by leveling up.
unless...
"It would be great if we had a high-power heating furnace, which can directly burn snow all day long. When the water is hot, it will be used to melt the snow. When the water is gone, continue to burn."
"As long as the stove is big enough and the power is strong enough, the snow can be burned in minutes!"
Lu Kuan's proposal, which seemed to be in a fit of anger, made the person next to him smile and shook his head as soon as he said it.
The principle is that this principle is correct.
But if you want to burn snow in this weather, without mentioning how much energy you need, just saying that this instantaneous power is not what the existing equipment in the depression can withstand.
With this kind of skill, it is better to have more snow blowers on the whole. The dead Taoist friends will not die, and the snow will be swept into other people's territory.
However.
What everyone doesn't know is.
Lu Kuan's voice fell, but a word that he had almost forgotten suddenly popped into Somo's mind...
Alchemy furnace!
Earlier, after seeing that the boiler could be upgraded to an alchemy furnace, Soma decided to upgrade it directly.
But later, due to the abundance of coal and the difficulty of excavating the energy stone, the idea of upgrading was temporarily shelved by Soma.
After all, an alchemy furnace needs a full 800 catties of energy stones, and 3,000 survival points.
Without knowing the specific properties, it is naturally extremely uneconomical to rashly affect the heating.
But now.
"Lu Kuan, how much can we get out of our energy stone reserves!"
Lu Kuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly calculated in his mind, and finally gave the data:
"Our energy stone reserve is still 120kg, but if you need it urgently, we can extract it from the previous power supply line. After all, we don't need a lot of electricity these days."
"Keeping the current power supply efficiency at 75%, plus the previous one, we can take out about 600kg!"
"Keeping the current power supply efficiency at 50%, we can take out about 840kg!"
"Keep it as it is..."
"Enough, just pump 800kg for me, I need it urgently!"
As soon as he heard that half of the power supply was maintained and he could still draw out 800 kilograms of energy stones, Soma immediately made a decision and hurried back with everyone.
For the alchemy furnace, it would be good if it could use snow as fuel and convert it into heat.
If you can't, it doesn't matter. At most, you will lose half of the power output and a few survival points, which is completely within the acceptable range!
Find Ai Jianfeng's disciples to fight.
The speed of dismantling the energy stone energy supply array is extremely fast. It only took less than half an hour to collect 800 kilograms, which met the basic requirements for upgrading the alchemy furnace.
Outside ~www.novelbuddy.com~ the time is also close to twelve o'clock, and the clock is only running in the last ten minutes.
Pushing the cart originally used to pull the snow and carrying the energy stone, Soma came all the way to the front of the boiler room, where the temperature was astonishing and shimmers of white gas emanated.
"You go down and watch outside. No one will come in without my order!"
After dismissing a few workers who were still working inside, Soma didn't explain, he pushed the cart directly into the boiler room, and closed the door with his backhand.
Outside the boiler room, it is a cold winter.
Inside, it was like a sweltering heat.
He took off his cold-proof helmet and scattered all the energy stones in the car on the ground. With a thought, Soma called out the upgrade panel of the boiler.
[The earth-made boiler room with rough craftsmanship (ordinary-: small flaws)]
【describe】:...
[...]:...
【Upgrade method 1】:Iron boiler:...
[Upgrade method 2]: High-efficiency boiler:...
[Upgrade Method 3]: Alchemy Furnace: The upgrade effect is unknown, the upgrade risk is unknown, the upgrade strength is unknown, and the upgrade requires survival points: 3180 (can be reduced by inputting the corresponding upgrade material (800kg hot stone))
Same as the previous introduction.
It's just that after getting the energy stone this time, the more than 60,000 survival points in the demand have been rapidly reduced to just over 3,000 points.
without any hesitation.
Immediately, Soma moved his mind slightly and clicked directly on the upgrade button!
