At 6 a.m., the bunker's "environmental simulation system" began operation.
The automatic curtains opened, letting the bright simulated sunlight fall on Liu Kai's face.
"Ding ding dong... ding ding dong..."
As his phone alarm rang, Liu Kai stretched and yawned.
Today is a good day; it's not a good day to sleep in.
So he sprang to his feet, kicked off the covers, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
In a good mood, I even hummed some unknown tune.
After a quick wash, he swept away all the toothpaste, toothbrush, and shower gel with a sweeping motion.
Simply boil water and cook two bags of frozen dumplings for breakfast.
And so, he hurriedly took Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai out the door.
The silly dog, Xiao Hei, seemed to have grown quite a bit, so Liu Kai still chose to drive the four-wheeled snowmobile.
Although they were "beaten" and physically punished by Liu Kai yesterday, the two guys don't hold a grudge.
The passenger-side window of the snowmobile was wide open, allowing the wind and snow to pour into the vehicle.
A cat and a dog were lying side by side on the passenger door.
Its mouth was wide open, and its long tongue dangled out.
Seemingly oblivious to the cold, they let their saliva freeze into ice cubes.
It looked curiously at the frozen world outside, looking rather silly.
Liu Kai was not familiar with Guangming Town; he had only visited it once two years ago.
Fortunately, the entire route was through farmland, with no cliffs or steep slopes.
Just keep heading in the general direction.
As the snowmobiles left the city, the towering reinforced concrete structures disappeared from view.
All that could be seen was a flat expanse of ice and distant, faintly visible, snow-white mountains.
Looking at the distant mountain range, Liu Kai felt a surge of emotion.
Guangming Town.
It used to be a national forest reserve, but now it is an endless treasure mountain for him to exploit.
The snowmobile sped along, traversing flat, fertile fields and climbing gentle hillsides.
finally.
A different scene appeared on the once pristine ice surface.
The once towering trees had their trunks covered by ice, with several meters of their trunks obscured.
Only a section of tree trunk and a dense canopy covered in snow remained standing on the ice.
From a distance, they look like mushrooms.
What is truly remarkable is the tenacious vitality of these trees.
Black pine, yew, boxwood, and privet are plants whose theoretical cold resistance temperature is only minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius.
It remains sturdy even in temperatures as low as minus fifty or sixty degrees Celsius.
The only cost was the withering of some leaves.
Liu Kai was unaware of the reason for this phenomenon.
It can only be speculated that the ice layer burying the tree trunk may have provided some insulation.
Of course, that's not the point.
The key point is that the appearance of these "mushrooms" officially indicates that he has entered the Guangming Town Forest Reserve.
Moreover, because this is a mountainous area, the land slopes.
The torrential rain that fell during the cold snap didn't flood this area much.
Therefore, the ice layer is not nearly as thick as it is in the city.
This means that it is not difficult for mining machines to drill through the ice.
Guided by the location software, Liu Kai moved swiftly under the mushroom-shaped umbrellas, like a resident of Lilliput in a fairy tale.
Soon after, the snowmobile arrived at its destination.
This is a relatively flat natural area.
Ahead lies a cliff with a drop of 5 meters.
The cliff was not covered by ice and snow, and the original gray rocks were still exposed.
According to the "Exploration Report on Platinum Series Mineral Reserves in Guangming Town, Xiling District, Fenghai City".
If you drill a hole through this cliff, you can reach the thickest vein of the platinum group deposit in just 15 meters.
Therefore, the report also suggested that the mine entrance could be located at this location in the future.
Liu Kai has always been very humble.
They readily accepted the report's recommendations.
But right now, the most important thing is not mining, but quickly building a shelter for him to live in.
Fortunately, the ice layer below is very solid, comparable to solid bedrock.
Therefore, there is no need to deliberately dig down to the original muddy ground.
Just as Liu Kai jumped out of the car, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai looked like they had never seen the world before.
They all jumped out of the car and circled around him a few times.
It meowed and howled happily, then dashed off into the deeper woods.
It's 7:30 a.m., and the light in the sky is still dim.
The dense forest in the distance looked rather eerie.
But Liu Kai wasn't worried about Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai at all.
They are both incredibly intelligent; they can even drive a car. If they encounter any danger, at least escaping won't be a problem.
He then ignored them both.
Generators, welding machines, and all sorts of building materials were released out of thin air from the storage space.
This is an era that values efficiency.
Even the building materials for temporary housing have been standardized and modularized.
With the help of a laser level, Liu Kai wielded a shovel.
In no time, they shoveled a 4-meter by 5-meter square horizontal surface on the ice to serve as the foundation.
They drilled ice holes, each 20 centimeters in diameter and 80 centimeters deep, in the four corners.
Relying on their strength and physique.
Without the aid of an exoskeleton, Liu Kai easily inserted four hollow steel pipes, each 3 meters long and weighing 75 kilograms, into the hole.
Chemical expanding agents were stuffed into the gaps between the steel pipes and the ice cave.
Soon the expanding agent began to expand, and all the steel pipes stood firmly without the slightest wobbling.
Once the pillars are erected, the rest of the work is simple.
They lit a campfire to keep warm and took out a welding machine and a silent generator.
The prefabricated walls with double-layer steel-laminated panels are assembled in sequence, the roof steel frame is welded, and the prefabricated roof is laid.
