Ice Season: Day 34 at Sea 3

The Antarctic continent is called the "white desert". Some people say that it is a frozen and dead land.

Yun Mianmian had long discovered that the temperature was getting lower and lower as the ship kept sailing south. She was right.

Yun Mianmian's impression of Antarctica was probably the same as many people's. It was just the end of the world, cold, penguins...

This place is covered with ice and snow all year round, and almost no one survives.

Now the system has put people from five districts here.

Although there are hundreds of thousands of people in one district, this number is not too many for the huge Antarctic continent.

Districts 1 and 10 are also in Antarctica, so aren't Mom and Yun Xiao also there?

It would be nice if I could still get a family card. I wonder how my mother and Yunxiao are doing under such a severe situation.

Yun Mianmian was in a state of anxiety. She was a little upset and didn't want to work right away, so she opened the chat channel to see what everyone was saying.

"No way, Antarctica? I heard that there are often strong winds here, which is very scary."

"It's the end of the world, even tornadoes are normal."

"Antarctica is not only cold but also very dry. The air is extremely dry, with strong winds and heavy snow. The climate is very bad, and there are often eight-level strong winds."

"It's so scary, can we survive here?"

"Why are only five of our districts in the Antarctic continent? What about the other five districts?"

"Could the other five districts be in other apocalyptic worlds? For example, drought?"

"They are in the same time and space, right? Could they be in the Arctic?"

"If it's the Arctic, it's much better than here, and the climate is much warmer."

Yun Mianmian knew very little about Antarctica, but with so many people in the three districts, and each one saying something, she looked for a long time and roughly knew something.

To sum up, this place is dry, cold, and terribly windy. It's all glaciers, and there are very few plants and animals.

Some people say that there are many primitive volcanoes and huge lakes under the ice.

It's just that the ice is too thick and difficult to melt, so these have been hidden in the ice.

Yun Mianmian thought about it. The protection of the ice layer can not only make the fresh water resources cleaner, but also prevent these rich minerals from being mined. If they can be found, it will be a huge fortune.

Maybe the energy stone and ice marrow mentioned by the system are hidden under the ice?

Then how can she find them?

The ice layer is so thick. I heard that the average thickness is nearly one thousand meters, and there are even three or four thousand meters thick. She can't dig it.

Then when the entire ice season is over, she estimates that she hasn't dug half of it.

There must be another way.

Or maybe the energy stone and ice marrow are not under the ice layer, but in the glacier.

After all, the glacier is exposed on the sea surface.

"There must be a lot of penguins in Antarctica. I haven't seen them yet. Have you seen any?"

"You can't catch penguins, right? But this is a game, is there no one in charge?"

"Why do you want to catch it? What do you want to do with such a cute penguin?"

"Just asking, it's okay to catch it as a pet. Isn't there a taming task? How can you tame an animal when you can't even see one?"

"Oh, yeah, what animals are there in Antarctica?"

"In addition to penguins, it seems to be seals, and there are also whales!"

"Does anyone dare to catch a seal as a pet?"

When everyone mentioned pets, Yun Mianmian looked at Octopus Girl.

"Octopus girl, let's go and start working."

After thinking about it, Yun Mianmian planned to build a greenhouse on the second deck.

The second deck had no other use except for her living there. The deck was empty, so putting a greenhouse there would not have much impact. However, the first deck was used as a kitchen and work area, so there was no room for a greenhouse.

Yun Mianmian instructed Octopus girl to mix the cement and then use a shovel to flatten the ground she had framed, then sprinkle stones and quicklime, and after leveling it, lay the insulation layer.

Octopus girl's eight hands worked very skillfully and were much more efficient than Yun Mianmian.

It only took Yun Mianmian one hour to complete the work that took four hours for one person.

I have to say that with it as a helper, Yun Mianmian saved a lot of time and effort.

She thought it would take two days to build the greenhouse, but now it seems that one and a half days will be enough.

The four walls of the greenhouse are made of double-layer thick glass that she specially asked someone to make, and so is the roof.

The roof and the four walls are waterproof and heat-insulated, which can better keep warm.

She had to make the entire roof frame herself, so the workbench was always in processing. Using the gap time, Yun Mianmian took out the previously stewed pig's trotter soup and prepared to have lunch.

Octopus Girl was also shouting that she was hungry.

Yun Mianmian didn't eat much of the seafood in the morning, she ate it all.

Now she is hungry again.

Yun Mianmian: "How many meals do you eat a day? Other people's pets only eat one meal, how can there be so much seafood for you to eat?"

Octopus girl: "I do a lot of work!"

This is true.

Yun Mianmian saw that it worked hard and said, "Then what else can you eat besides seafood?"

Octopus girl was confused.

"I have only eaten seafood."

It cried, "I can't eat anything else."

It started to act aggrieved again.

Yun Mianmian was helpless, "Okay, I'll make you a grilled stingray."

There were more than 60 stingrays brought back last time. If you feed it half a portion at a time, it will last for a while.

Grilled stingrays are simple to make, and there is no need to season them when feeding them to Octopus girl.

After washing with sea water, it can be grilled on the fire.

Yun Mianmian suddenly remembered that she had an oven drawing.

Now that the generator is ready, why not try to see if it can generate electricity?

[Oven: can be used to make roast chicken, roast duck, and roast bread, anything that can be roasted can be put in.]

[Required materials: Aluminum ore × 2, steel billet × 3, glass × 1,]

Yun Mianmian put the materials for making the oven on the workbench, and then connected a wire from the second-floor cabin to the wind turbine to the first-floor cabin.

As long as the wire is connected, the equipment can be powered.

The fan blades on the wind turbine are already spinning rapidly, which shows that the wind here is indeed very strong.

The oven is not yet ready, and Yun Mianmian can't wait to try the effect.

Seeing Yun Mianmian running around, she didn't know what she was busy with, but she didn't make food for herself, so she simply went back to the fish tank.

When it heard Yun Mianmian calling it out, it crawled out of the fish tank.

There was a smell of fish in the air.

Octopus girl first stretched out a tentacle, smelled the food, and came to Yun Mianmian.

Yun Mianmian was startled by the tentacle that suddenly stretched out.

Octopus girl's tentacle directly sucked away the grilled fish that Yun Mianmian had just taken out of the oven.

Yun Mianmian: "Put it down for me."

The scalding plate almost burned Octopus girl's tentacle, and it put it down obediently, and its body came to Yun Mianmian.

"Why are you in a hurry? It's not like I won't give you food."

Octopus girl was burned so much that two tears flowed from her eyes.

Yun Mianmian: "..."

You've had enough.

Yun Mianmian was wearing gloves on her hands, so she could hold the tray without being afraid of being burned.

She brought the grilled fish to the dining table, put a piece of cloth on the baking tray, and then took out the pig's feet she wanted to eat and placed them in front of her.

The octopus girl sat on the chair provided by Yun Mianmian with interest, looking at Yun Mianmian eagerly, and then looked at the grilled fish on the table.

After Yun Mianmian gave the order "eat", she stretched out her tentacles, directly rolled up the two pieces of grilled stingray, put them to her mouth and ate them bite by bite.

The octopus's body is soft, but its mouth is very hard. It is strong, muscular, and has sharp jaws. It can even bite crabs directly, not to mention ordinary meat.

When it eats, its eyes bulge out and it is very focused. Its body opens and closes, as if it is enjoying the delicious food.

Yun Mianmian hadn't eaten much yet, but it had already finished. It looked satisfied, but not completely satisfied, and it was obviously not full.

This octopus girl was very busy and had a big appetite.

Yun Mianmian gnawed on the pig's trotter, thought about it, picked up a piece of pig's trotter and handed it to it.

"Do you want to try this? It tastes good."

The octopus girl looked at the pig's trotter she handed over with doubt, and was a little disgusted.

"Why not?" The octopus

girl was a little tempted, "Is it delicious?"

Just now, it seemed to be very fragrant when it ate it, and it smelled like a magical smell.

"Of course."

The octopus girl: "Then let me try it."

Its tentacles reached out and directly rolled up the pig's trotter.

Yun Mianmian also wanted to see if it would eat pig's trotters.

I saw the octopus girl holding the pig's trotter with her tentacles and putting it to her mouth, and she actually swallowed the whole trotter.

Yun Mianmian looked at it in shock, could it eat bones?

The octopus girl's eyes bulged even more exaggeratedly.

Its eight tentacles were all open, and it looked very happy.

"It's delicious! What is this?"

Its reaction was really a bit big.

Yun Mianmian: "Stewed pig's trotter."

"I want to eat it! It's delicious!"

It crawled over and pulled Yun Mianmian with its tentacles, looking like it was trying to please her.

Yun Mianmian was laughed to death by it.

"This is my food. You said you only eat seafood."

"If I don't eat seafood,

I won't eat it. I eat the same thing as you." "If you want to eat my food, what should I eat? I don't have enough to eat."

Octopus girl thought for a while and said, "Help you work."

Yun Mianmian: "Of course I have to work. You are my pet. You have to work if you live here."

Octopus girl was in a dilemma. She really didn't know what to do so that Yun Mianmian would be willing to give her the thing just now.

It tasted so delicious. After eating it, I felt full of energy, warm and hot, as if I was about to float.

It tasted much better than steamed seafood and grilled fish.

Those tasted tasteless!

Yun Mianmian had no idea that Octopus girl liked to eat seasoned food.

After all, Yun Mianmian treated it as an animal, so she didn't season it.

But the seasoned food she processed had a buffing effect, which was also useful for Octopus Girl. Octopus Girl, who had just eaten the pig's feet, suddenly increased her physical and mental strength, so she was excited.

"Be obedient and work hard, and I'll give it back to you next time."

Octopus Girl's eight tentacles all nodded.

Yun Mianmian: "Okay, you go to work, I'm going to fish for treasure chests again."

Octopus Girl said obediently: "Okay."

While fishing for treasure chests, Yun Mianmian took out the polar mineral resource map.

According to the paper map compared with the system map, she found a point that was relatively close.

It seems to be nearby.

She stood up and looked far away for a while, but couldn't see anything. She had to put the fishing rod on the automatic device and walked to the third deck to look through the telescope.

The telescope can see farther and can see things within a few kilometers clearly.

Soon, Yun Mianmian really saw a gray island.

She widened her eyes.

She took out the paper map for comparison and it seemed to be there.

She happened to have an island landing card!

Now she can sail there and land on the island tomorrow morning.

And she has a pet bag, so she can put Octopus Girl in the pet bag and take it to the island.

Thinking of Octopus Girl's eight hands, Yun Mianmian's mouth corners lifted up uncontrollably.

In front of her eyes, the image of Octopus Girl's eight tentacles, each holding a tool and digging madly, has emerged.

Iron ore, copper ore or any other ore, dig it all up!

However, it is not known whether there are any other supplies on the island.

Yun Mianmian quickly controlled the steering wheel and drove towards the island.

She probably won't spend the night on the island, so the boat is docked nearby and will be back at night, so there is no need to worry about no one taking care of the things on the boat.

But some tools still need to be made tonight, such as mining tools bronze pickaxes, shovels and other items.

There might be a lot of penguins on the island.

Since penguins can be used as pets, it would be nice for Yun Mianmian to catch a few for trading.

After all, everyone has to complete the taming task, right?

If no better pet is found later, penguins are a good choice.

What's more, Nie Yangguang's penguin skills are still good. For most people, the most important thing is to survive this season.

I just don't know if it's easy to catch them. Yun Mianmian plans to make a few more bags.

Yun Mianmian quickly returned to the workbench on the first floor, and the bell rang.

The treasure chest was hooked.

Yun Mianmian walked to the fishing rod without stopping.

This time, what was caught was a silver treasure chest.

Yun Mianmian opened the treasure chest.

[Chocolate mousse cake × 1, donuts × 2, macaron cookies × 5, tiramisu × 1]

It turned out to be a dessert set.

Yun Mianmian couldn't remember how long it had been since she had eaten dessert.

Especially this kind of small cake, she even forgot what it tasted like.

She didn't know which one to eat first, she wanted to eat all of them.

Desserts are the food that can make people feel the happiest. Yun Mianmian finally chose the mousse cake, which is rich and smooth, and melts in the mouth. The taste is incomparable to anything else.

Yun Mianmian made up her mind after eating.

She wanted to make desserts on the boat herself.

I can't just wait for the treasure chest after eating this time. It's okay if I don't eat it, I won't think about it, but after eating it, I feel that life is less flavorful without dessert.

Yun Mianmian sat on the chair and slowly enjoyed the cake. The island also appeared in front of her.
