Chapter 347 The Problem
[A Miao]: "Although the weather forecast says that the next few days will be peaceful, what do the changes in water levels and mineral veins mean? Are they a sign of impending disaster?"
[Yi Ling]: "It should be, but this time is not normal compared to the previous ones. In the past, many disasters were directly described."
[Have you completed the consecutive tasks?]: "Not all of them were told directly. I only knew about Jingzhe and Lichun after going through them for several days."
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case.
Jingzhe and Lichun are the disasters of polar night and oxygen intoxication, both of which were discovered only after they became more severe over time.
Although she had actually guessed the Jingzhe Polar Night quite early on, that was also because of the hint from her classmate Xiao Ai.
Only during the Qingming and Grain Rain periods it rains. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this without the need for weather forecasts.
It is also very obvious that there are many mosquitoes starting from the Beginning of Summer, and the same is true for the hurricanes during the Grain Full Moon period.
Obviously, this game does not directly tell players what the disaster is.
Only those that are relatively obvious and cannot be hidden will be written in the weather forecast.
But despite this, each solar term, like dengue fever during the Beginning of Summer and urticaria during the Grain Full Solar Terms, has hidden catastrophic attributes.
The disaster of this solar term requires another guess... However, Shu Lingyi has her classmate Xiao Ai!
It’s just that it’s a bit late, and I wonder if Xiao Ai has taken a rest.
According to the weather forecast, the precursor to this disaster is that the water level will change, and even the mountain and mineral veins will change...
She thought about it and some results seemed to come to her mind, but she forgot them again.
[If your geography teacher were here, you would definitely get slapped in the face.]
Shu Lingyi was originally pleased that Xiao Ai was working overtime, but then he thought that the little boy might just want to scold him.
I suddenly didn't feel relieved.
Shu Ling looked at what Xiao Ai said, supported his chin with one hand, rubbed it with his index finger, and his eyes fell on the word "geography".
"The water level changes and the mountains change, this..."
As the thought became clear at that moment, Shu Ling felt a chill on his back!
"Isn't this a macro sign before an earthquake?!"
Shu Ling exclaimed in surprise, so excited that he couldn't even control his voice.
As it was late at night, Shu Lingyi did not announce the news on the public screen.
I plan to wait until I wake up from a nap before posting on the public screen that there should have been an earthquake in An Ning these few days, but the highest level of earthquake on Blue Planet is only magnitude nine.
If the wind force is arranged like this, it is very likely to start from level one.
Or it can be said that it starts from level 0.5. Anyway, the level is low in the first few days, so people don’t feel it much, and the impact on life is almost non-existent.
The so-called peace probably refers to this period.
“It’s really hard.”
Shu Lingyi felt a little overwhelmed and her thoughts were in a mess, but she soon fell asleep as thousands of thoughts turned to her mind.
When the morning came, Shu Ling didn't sleep well, so he woke up at around six.
She washed up briefly, and then Rainbow Dash came to make breakfast for her. She said with a smile, "Boss Yi-Yi, I feel like I'm just a little bit away from becoming an intermediate chef!"
Shu Lingyi would of course congratulate them for this kind of good news: "Congratulations! Maybe after finishing this meal, we will be able to reach the intermediate level. Then we should be able to build a restaurant."
"Yes, that's great."
Rainbow Dash was preparing the food, thanks to Shu Ling who built an extra public granary last solar term.
Although the location is placed near Wang Xiangguo's house, because it is public, players only need to open the natal core and find the territory building to store remotely.
But this requires payment of gold coins.
The reason why they placed it on Wang Xiangguo's side was mainly because they and his daughter obviously had more food to store, and Wang Xiangguo didn't quite understand the remote operation of the system.
So this public granary was built closer to him.
You can gain control of as many grids as you pay in gold coins. Others cannot view what is stored in other grids, nor can they see who stored it.
Yunbao collected a batch of vegetables from Gongping at that time. They were all ingredients that had to be processed before they could be eaten, and the prices were not high.
Currently, there are at least a dozen or twenty players with cooking racks in the public screen, and there are more than ten players with stoves.
However, there are very few players who happen to have excellent cooking skills, and most of them can only make simple food even if they can cook.
The only way to make complicated dishes is to get the recipes.
Food that needs to be processed needs to be handled by knowledgeable players so that it can be eaten. Most players will choose to sell it because they have no use for it.
In this way, you can buy food or simple and easy-to-handle ingredients from Shu Lingyi or Yun Bao.
When the hurricane comes, we can only rely on fruits, dry foods with a long shelf life, and some vegetables and fruits that can be eaten raw.
Bread, steamed buns, and pancakes are currently Yunbao's best dry food.
With the tin foil produced by Mary, the calories of these foods can be kept for two or three days! It can also provide a higher sense of fullness.
Of course, if you replace the tin foil with normal food, it will only last for one day at most.
Because of the special circumstances of dry food, tinfoil is given special treatment.
"Rainbow Dash, what do you think about the disasters of this solar term?"
While Yunbao was making buns, many players on the public screen had nothing to eat. They had only stockpiled food for a few days, and now the new solar term had arrived but the conditions were not good and they still had nothing to eat.
I can only come to Yunbao to buy it.
In the past, I could at least dig up some wild vegetables, and if that didn’t work, I could chew on leaves and tree bark... But now the trees around me haven’t been refreshed yet, and there is nothing left except endless yellow earth.
We are so poor that we have no choice but to eat dirt.
Yunbao took this opportunity to make a good profit.
She only thought about Shu Lingyi's question for a moment, then looked at the various speculations of the players on the public screen: "Is it an earthquake?"
"I saw the player Yan Huan saying that the description given by the weather forecast is a precursor to an earthquake."
As soon as Yunbao finished speaking, Xin Jing's voice came from outside the house.
"Wow wow wow wow! Big Boss, my senior brother said there will be an earthquake during this solar term, what should we do!"
Xin Jing rushed in carelessly, her face flushed with the color of running, and threw herself beside Shu Ling, her eyes brimming with tears: "What should I do?"
The same problem appeared on the public screen and no one had a solution. Even Shu Lingyi was a little worried.
She didn't get any earthquake-proof drawings or props last solar term...
[A Miao]: "If an earthquake comes, we definitely can't live in the basement, right? Otherwise, we'd be asking for death."
[Yue Shengliang who loves sweet-scented osmanthus fish]: "I was preparing to collect materials to rebuild the house. If I hadn't known that the disaster was an earthquake, it would have taken me several days to build the house."
[Yue Shengliang who loves sweet-scented osmanthus fish]: "And then when the earthquake comes, won't everything be gone? Just give it away for nothing."
[Caicaicaili]: "That makes a lot of sense!"
[A Miao]: "From this point of view, this dog system is indeed not well-intentioned. I was hoping for a few days of peace and quiet, and this is also a chance to take a break."
Everyone thinks so, but the problem is - if an earthquake comes and we can't build houses and we can't live in basements, where will everyone live?
[Yi Ling]: "It would be great if there were some kind of portable tent. We could consider finding an open space to stay in temporarily, and move at any time..."
[Zhe Yue Zhu Jiu]: "My intermediate bamboo basket can also be used as a temporary small warehouse for the time being. As for the food box, I currently only have a low-level finished product."
[Starry Sky Grape]: "But who has a tent?"
No one said anything on the public screen, even Shu Lingyi and Luo Zhiqing didn't have the drawings this time.
She has the territory's protective shield for protection. Earthquakes are like hurricanes. They shouldn't be able to harm their houses and buildings, right?
In other words, it will not be destroyed, but at most it will increase the degree of wear and tear, just like the damage caused by a hurricane.
She was still a little uncertain in her heart and asked Xiao Ai: Is that so?
Xiao Ai was also very considerate and put a line of prompts in front of her.
[The highest earthquake level in the territory is level 6. Houses and buildings need to be upgraded by architects to resist earthquakes, otherwise a level 6 earthquake will still destroy the buildings.]
Xiao Ai's reminder this time was very serious, but it brought new problems to Shu Lingyi.
Architect? It's a profession, right?
Shu Lingyi's first reaction was Qi Xuanze, but Qi Xuanze didn't seem to get up yet, so he could only wait until he came later to ask him.
"Master Yiyi, if it's an earthquake, can the territory's shield still protect us like it did last solar term?"
Xin Jing asked the question that Yun Bao also wanted to ask.
Shu Lingyi looked at the lucky bamboo. Shu Lingyi changed the water for it every day. Only with the lucky bamboo combined with the protective shield could it achieve sufficient protection.
But this time, even the protective shield may not be able to protect it.
Shu Ling shook his head: "It's hard to say. If I remember correctly, the wind speed in our territory seemed to be four levels lower than that outside during the last solar term."
What she said is not without evidence. The limit of the added wind and dust prevention net can only be said to be able to withstand a Category 15 hurricane.
This was confirmed by countless players on the public screen.
"The highest level of earthquake is nine. By the same token, the highest level in our territory could be five. If the earthquake level is low, there is no doubt that there is a six-level earthquake in our territory."
"I remember that the damage caused by level 5 and level 6 was already considerable, especially level 6."
Yunbao's hands kept moving. She had a gentle personality and seemed very calm even in such a situation.
Yes, if the territory can’t protect everyone, other places will be even less safe.
Earthquakes of magnitude 6 are not uncommon on Blue Star. If you find a wide place to take shelter, you can at least protect your life.
"Then I'd better ask my brother to come here quickly."
"It seems that our house is not earthquake-resistant. We could have added a special wind and dust-proof net last solar term."
"I don't know either. There are no blueprints, and no one can give any solutions."
Shu Ling shrugged and continued to look at the news on the public screen. Everyone was also discussing it enthusiastically.
Now that we know it is an earthquake, the situation is not hopeless and everyone is still actively discussing how to effectively avoid the disaster.
The basement can only be lived in for a few days, the cave is completely uninhabitable, and the house cannot be built.
Otherwise, if an earthquake strikes, it would not be purely in vain to work.
All kinds of buildings, such as furnaces, brick kilns, and even carpentry tables, are all given for free.
[Have you completed the continuous tasks?]: "If there is no tent blueprint, why don't you consider making one by hand?"
[Zhe Yue Zhu Jiu]: "I haven't tried making this, I don't think it will work. Anyone who makes handicrafts upstairs, do you have any ideas?"
[A Miao]: "Since last night, the squirrels have been a little restless. I wonder if this is because of the upcoming earthquake."
[Yan Huan]: "Just get rid of your doubts, that's right. The signs before an earthquake also include that animals will become very emotionally unstable, and may even have a tendency to migrate on a large scale or even commit suicide."
【All trees are autumn colors】: "Although it sounds a bit pitiful, why do I feel that this is a good opportunity to pick up a bargain?"
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "I think so too. I plan to go out and pick up some bargains."
As Shu Ling looked at the message "Have you completed the continuous tasks?" on the public screen, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
Simple tent, you can make it yourself!
[Yi Ling]: "Have you completed the continuous tasks? Can you make the tent's support? I can provide the support structure after the tent is disassembled!"
[Have you completed the continuous mission?]: "This... is something I have never tried, but based on my understanding of tents, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find materials for the brackets."
Shu Lingyi likes to go hiking and camping in the wild, so she is very skilled in assembling tents.
But what she bought at that time were relatively advanced and complex, and she could only barely remember some of the structure of the simple tent.
But it’s useless to have just the pictures; the materials are the biggest problem.
[Zhe Yue Zhu Jiu]: "Speaking of materials, I can point to Lu Shaoqing, who has a rare kind of purple bamboo and some other bamboo. I think those two should be very good materials for the bracket."
Shaoqing hasn't woken up yet at this moment, and even if he did, he would still be difficult to deal with.
The person involved was not there, so [Zhe Yue Zhu Jiu] could only continue talking; "I am a bamboo weaver, and the material I need is of course defense value, the higher the durability, the better."
[Confused Confused]: "I just woke up. What Zheyue said about drinking wine is right. The bamboo in Shaoqing Bufuqing's hand is of very good quality."
[Confused]: "Not only does it have high defense and durability, it also has good toughness. It won't break just by bending."
[Have you completed the continuous tasks?]: "Wow, this material is really suitable for making stents. I really want to do some research on it now."
Shu Lingyi had a new idea, she planned to recruit players.
However, priority will be given to players with skills and professions. As long as one player surrenders, that player will go back to his own house to build a sub-shield.
The sub-shield doesn't need to be very big, as long as it can protect the house well...
