Chapter 362 Geothermal



Shen Xingtang was puzzled: "System, did you just speak?"

System: [No, host.]

When Shen Xingtang calmed down again, he heard no other sounds.

Suddenly, the soldier stationed nearby said a few words on the walkie-talkie and walked towards Shen Xingtang.

Shen Xingtang thought he was going to be driven away: "I didn't go in."

The soldier's expression eased, and his tone was very polite: "Assistant Shen, our lord invites you to stay in the base and cooperate with Dr. An in research. I wonder if you are willing."

Shen Xingtang was stunned: "Invite me?"

The system suddenly sounded an alarm: [Host, you can't stay! Zhao Xian is in great danger!]

As Shen Xingtang was hesitating, another voice in her heart appeared again: "If you don't seize the opportunity that has come, can you still become the center of the world and continue to be the protagonist?"

This time Shen Xingtang heard it clearly. The sudden voice was not her imagination, but a real one.

This voice is the same as her own voice.

Shen Xingtang frowned: "Who are you?"

The voice said, "Of course I am you."

Shen Xingtang: “…”

System: [Host, Dr. An's favorability can be planned again. The two lords of the Sea Castle are also important figures in the world and can also provide you with favorability. ]

The voice sneered, "Relying on the lord of the sea fort? Don't you know how shrewd they are? You've been there for so long, haven't you counted the progress bar of your favorability? Can you compare to An Wenli's favorability?"

Shen Xingtang frowned.

System: [Host, what are you thinking about? Reject it!]

The voice continued to bewitch him, "Aren't you supposed to control this world? Be the protagonist? If you leave, Qiao Xuejun will be able to do whatever she wants. How can you still be the protagonist? Your life should be full of love and everything should go smoothly."

After hearing the last sentence, Shen Xingtang made up his mind: "Okay, I'll stay."

·

"Host!"

Qiao Xuejun heard an exclamation from the system.

Qiao Xuejun was helping out at the construction site, piling up wooden planks for the stables. "What's wrong? You're so startled."

System: "I sensed a very strong energy fluctuation coming from Shen Xingtang."

Qiao Xuejun asked while working: "Oh, tell me about it."

System: "The red energy in her body has increased a bit."

Qiao Xuejun recalled that the system had said before that red energy represents people and blue energy represents the system.

The red energy in Shen Xingtang's body is only 1%.

Although I don't know why Shen Xingtang has more blue than red, she is the protagonist and has all kinds of special circumstances. It's impossible that she is also a system with only 1% of being human.

Qiao Xuejun: "So what did you identify this time?"

System: “…No, I just think it’s very strange.”

Qiao Xuejun: "Then pay more attention to it."

System: "She will be returning to the Sea Castle soon."

Qiao Xuejun said it lightly, but almost confidently: "Zhao Xian won't let her go."

Shen Xingtang performed a miracle of resurrection in front of Zhao Xian.

Although Zhao Xian pretended to be fine on the surface, he must have been worried in his heart and would definitely keep the person under his nose and watch him 24 hours a day.

Although the construction of a stable is simple, it requires at least 150 square meters to accommodate 50 horses.

The entire framework of the stable was built on the first day.

A wall was also built where the horses could be brought in at night, which was sufficient to provide a brief break from the wind and cold.

The carpenter found Qiao Xuejun and said, "It will take some time to hoist the wood up for this roof. As for this wall, you can consider replacing the outer layer with a snow wall."

"Snow wall?"

Qiao Xuejun remembered that the indigenous people in the polar regions did use igloos to avoid the cold. Under normal circumstances, the temperature in the igloos could be 20 degrees or even 30 degrees higher than outside.

However, this technology is rarely used in stables.

Horse sheds are mostly built with heavy logs, usually with two layers of log walls, with about 20 cm thick moss or hay in the middle for warmth and insulation. The sandwich-like structure allows the shed to maintain a temperature of -10℃ to 20℃.

But this can only cope with weather conditions as low as -50℃.

At -70℃, we have to add another layer of log walls and moss interlayer.

This is her current design. Wooden walls, with hay. The hay is made of dried corn stalks and pumpkin vines.

The three-layer log wall is enough to raise the room temperature by more than 40℃ even in an environment of -70℃.

The master carpenter said, "We've tried building an igloo with snow bricks. The temperature inside the igloo can reach -5 degrees Celsius. The insulation effect is pretty good."

He said, "I thought that since there's snow everywhere, using it to build the outer walls would save some wood."

Those who are doing engineering now really want to save some materials.

Qiao Xuejun thought for a moment and said, "Generally, igloos are relatively small. When you tried, did you ever build a big one?"

The carpenter frowned, "We haven't had time to build the big one yet."

Qiao Xuejun: "There are two problems with building snow walls. One is load-bearing support, and the other is thermal insulation. If these two problems cannot be solved, I'm afraid it can't replace logs."

She didn't know about the stables, but the igloos of polar dwellers were small because of these disadvantages: if they were too big, they would collapse easily and would not be warm.

The carpenter's plan was directly rejected.

He didn't mind and nodded: "Okay, let's see if we can solve this problem when we have the chance."

On the third day, Tailor Li brought his men to the greenhouse with the big fish skin.

The layout of the greenhouse has been completed in the past few days, except for covering the roof with fish skin.
