Chapter 486: Avoid Killing the Wrong Person
A snow house, also known as an ice house, is actually snow pressed into ice bricks, which are then stacked into an arch or sphere shape.
These two shapes of igloos are more sturdy, so the igloos that Han Ying and others saw built by Liu Hefeng's company were basically of these two shapes.
Liu Hefeng’s ice house is not very big, with a diameter of only about 4 meters.
His family all lived in the building on the base, so there was no need to build such a large house since he lived here alone.
The entire igloo has only one door extending from the arched igloo and no windows.
The doors of ice houses are usually built relatively low, about one meter, to reduce the dissipation of heat inside the house.
Of course, it is possible to build the door of the igloo higher to make it easier to enter and exit, but you will need to burn more firewood.
Han Ying roughly measured it and found that the door of Liu Hefeng's ice house was about 1.2 meters wide, so one could get in by crouching down, but Liu Hefeng said that he usually just crawled in.
Lu Yuan is 185cm tall, and about 188cm with boots on. Although he is not very strong, he is the type that has muscles even when he takes off his clothes.
It was obviously difficult for him to walk through the 1.2-meter-wide door while bending over, but it was not impossible.
Liu Hefeng was used to climbing, so he was the first to climb in through the small door.
Han Ying deliberately walked at the back. She wanted to see Lu Yuan hunching over as he walked in.
It must be funny.
Such a small door is really unfair to his height.
But to Han Ying's disappointment, Lu Yuan followed Liu Hefeng and crawled in.
Among the last three people, only Han Ying bent over to go in, while Gouzi just walked in.
As soon as Han Ying entered, she met Lu Yuan's dark eyes.
Okay, I’ve been caught.
Lu Yuan raised his hand and touched Han Ying's hat with an expression that said "I won't laugh at you". Han Ying pretended not to understand.
The interior of the igloo is quite spacious. At the innermost part is a bed made of ice, which is padded with very thick blankets and quilts.
There is some furry fur on the inner wall of the igloo, and judging from the color of the fur, it should be rabbit fur.
There were not many pieces of furniture in the room. Apart from the ice bed, there was only a table, two chairs and a cabinet. There was also a storage cabinet next to it, on which were placed a few pots and pans.
There is a stove in the middle of the igloo, with an iron pot on the stove and piles of firewood next to it.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan were both wearing constant temperature clothing, so they couldn't feel the temperature inside the ice house for the time being.
However, Han Ying had a thermometer. She measured it and found that the temperature inside the ice house was only minus 7 degrees Celsius.
You know, it's minus 61 degrees outside now.
"How is it? Is it much warmer than outside? The stove isn't lit yet. Once it's lit, the temperature will probably be maintained at around 10 degrees."
Living in an ice house is really much better than living in a building outside. As soon as Liu Hefeng heard that they were going to live on the farm permanently, he started researching the ice house.
The farm is large, and building igloos for more than a hundred of them wouldn't take up much space.
"Are there any tips for building an igloo? Or any precautions?"
Han Ying touched the fur attached to the inner wall and turned her head to ask Liu Hefeng.
"There's no trick. The snow wall needs to be built in a spiral shape and slowly move inwards. Also, it may be a little difficult to cap it. In addition to the door, a vent hole is opened at the top. There's nothing else to do."
"If you want to build an igloo, just let us know and we'll come over to help."
Liu Hefeng and his team built dozens of ice houses, some for single people to live in and some for several people to live together.
Ice houses come in different sizes, and they already have some experience, so they can help Han Ying and the others build one.
Snow is readily available, and it is very easy to make it into ice bricks or snow bricks.
"Let's choose a place first."
Coming out of the igloo, Han Ying looked around and saw dozens of igloos lined up in rows in front of her.
Some of them had light coming through them, probably because they were making fires.
Looking at the time, it was almost nine o'clock, and it was almost time to go to work on the farm, so Han Ying, Lu Yuan and the dog walked back to the office building.
Today Han Ying also has to present awards to the top ten winners of the competition, so she has to go back quickly.
Originally, Han Ying wanted to let Li Ping be in charge of the award ceremony, but she wanted to confirm whether the three people in the third place team were the same three people from her previous life.
So Han Ying had to take a look personally to avoid killing the wrong person.
Today's gathering place was changed to Warehouse No. 4, after all, there was still a lot of food piled up in Warehouse No. 3.
When Han Ying and Lu Yuan arrived, the warehouse was already full of people, their eyes shining brightly, waiting for the rankings to be announced so they could get their rewards.
The top 10 teams were informed yesterday and asked to fill out a list of supplies they wanted.
So at this moment, everyone was staring at Master Han on the stage and the pile of supplies placed on the side.
The weather was too cold, so everyone sewed their own masks and hats using all kinds of random fabrics.
Under the colorful fabrics, one can see with the naked eye that everyone is unable to conceal their excitement.
On the podium, Han Ying held a loudspeaker and read out the names of the captains of the 10 teams.
All of a sudden, all 150 people stood at the front, giving a sense of being at a commendation ceremony before the end of the world.
"Congratulations to these 10 teams. I see your hard work. Everyone, take off your masks. Let me get to know you when you come up to receive your awards."
Han Ying's voice was filled with laughter, and she pointed to the pile of supplies beside her.
After hearing what Master Han said, the people below became even more excited. They did not doubt him and thought that Master Han really wanted to remember their faces.
"Master Han, can we keep the prizes on the farm temporarily? We can take them away when we need them?"
As soon as Han Ying finished speaking, the captain of Lei Minghu's team asked.
This question he asked was not only for himself, but also for his teammates to help him ask.
There are quite a few prizes. Although you can go directly to the residence at the base through the underground passage after leaving the farm.
But everyone already knows that they have so many good things, so it's inevitable that people will be eyeing them.
In this last days, being remembered by others is not a good thing.
If you can leave it on the farm and take a little bit back at a time, the less stuff you have, the less chance you'll be targeted.
After hearing what the man said, Han Ying understood what he was worried about, so she said, "Sure. If you want to deposit it at the farm, just pick up the deposit slip later. You can ask the warehouse manager to withdraw it at any time."
After saying this, Han Ying winked at Li Ping who was standing beside her. Li Ping understood and asked someone to bring the list and issue a deposit slip on the spot.
