Chapter 473 The Great Heat Arrives (1)
Basically, everyone goes out wearing a cloak, which is made of this large sunshade cloth. It is easy to put on and take off, not stuffy, and can cover people's head and feet tightly.
This way no one has been sunburned so far, but if the temperature is not like this, the durability of the sunshade will decrease very quickly.
And as mentioned above, after the terribly high temperature exceeds a certain limit, the effect of doing so will gradually disappear.
In other words, if the temperature exceeds the standard, then the problem is that there will be no such good effect, and people will still get sunburned.
Especially after so many days, the water levels in the seas around us have dropped significantly.
【One Two Three Four Seven Seven Seven】: "I confirmed it on my way back to the map. If the water level continues to drop like this, there will be no water at all in three to five days. By then, I'm afraid it will become a desert."
[Yan Huan]: "Actually, I'm a little curious. If there is no water at all, what will happen underneath? Will it turn into a desert or will it completely crack?"
[Yan Huan]: "If it cracks and there is no water, what will it look like? I'm very curious."
The crowd, who were originally immersed in fear, felt like laughing when they heard this sentence, and were also filled with curiosity.
[Xin Jing]: "I support my senior brother this time. I am also curious."
[Y doesn’t eat celery]: “I also +1.”
After all, during the previous solar term, the entire ground was about to crack due to the earthquake.
Then the sea area of the previous solar term appeared. As a result, only one solar term appeared in this sea area, and now the new solar term disappeared in the version update.
[Simple or Not]: "Why do I feel like these solar terms are very premeditated? First there was the earthquake, and the strong winds before the earthquake could leave people homeless in a matter of minutes."
[Nan Shuqingli]: "During the earthquake, I couldn't live in the basement. Afterwards, the ground cracked. I thought it would be repaired in the new solar term, but it turned into an ocean when I climbed along the pole."
[花开无忧]: "It's so funny. You built a house, and then it was hit by lightning. The house can't protect you."
【All trees are in autumn colors】: "So now I'm going to give you a drought? This means that all the water will be collected... and then? Will you choose to repair the ground cracks in the next solar term?"
Shu Lingyi was also very curious about this matter. After all, all she knew about was the merger of the Big and Small Shu.
Originally, everyone thought that the Lesser Heat would be over in five days.
It’s a pity that the next solar term will be even more uncomfortable.
The temperature is currently 44°C. Shu Lingyi couldn't help but sneer in his heart. This is just the beginning.
As the end of Lesser Heat is gradually approaching, Shu Lingyi wondered whether he should let everyone consider this issue - that is, the merger of Greater and Lesser Heat.
If we had known this in advance, we would have been able to stockpile more supplies, right?
She didn't want to remind players about this directly, as she had already asked them to pay more attention to water storage.
As for food, you do need to be a little careful, but as long as you buy enough preservatives, you don't have to worry about anything.
As for preservatives, she had plenty of them.
As long as you are not really poor, it is not a wrong idea to use the money to buy some food to ensure the shelf life.
…………
Compared to Shuling District 1, which already had many countermeasures, other districts were not so lucky.
There are preservatives to preserve food and saltpeter mines to make ice for cooling, but these are just part of the way to deal with the disasters during the Lesser Heat solar term.
The territory is particularly widespread in planting mung beans. After harvesting, whether it is making mung bean porridge, mung bean paste, mung bean cake, etc., they are all good choices.
There are also many other foods that can relieve heat and relieve summer heat, which are also developed during this solar term.
For example, the Youlan honey produced by the Youlan bee colony raised by Mu Yan is a good thing for cooling down in the summer.
Otherwise, not to mention the 30-plus degrees at the beginning, now it's over 40 degrees. If you are mining, farming, or doing anything else outside, how can you not get heatstroke?
Once you have heatstroke, you need enough salt water to replenish water, and ice to cool down and ensure the environmental temperature is appropriate.
If the situation becomes really serious, you will also need other things and medicines to treat yourself.
But if you don't have enough of these things, the symptoms of heat stroke will be severe and the person may die if the temperature cannot be lowered.
Therefore, the number of deaths in Shuling District 1 was only over 400, and the number of survivors just remained at 9,500.
The reason for the death of these people may be that they encountered some rampaging monsters while going out hunting.
In other areas, many people died from heatstroke, or were injured and killed by runaway monsters.
Some people have died from being overexposed to the sun while working in high temperatures. After being sunburned, many people will have large areas of redness, ulceration and peeling on their skin.
If not properly handled and treated with medicine, death can easily occur.
And if it's too hot and you sweat a lot, you don't wipe the sweat off in time.
After the temperature has dropped slightly, entering a room filled with ice to cool down can easily cause discomfort from the cold or heat in the body, leading to problems such as diarrhea.
There are some outrageous players in a certain area who are directly exhausted.
Then, when he was walking on the road at night, his legs went weak and he fell and hit a rock, breaking his head. Isn't that just a disguised way of killing himself?
It’s not easy for other people to say anything about this, after all, the players don’t know about this either.
It's only the end of the Lesser Heat, and the number of people in many districts has already dropped sharply, to more than two or three thousand.
Moreover, the sea level has basically dropped to only a little bit, and it is difficult to pump out much water from it.
If the water storage capacity is insufficient, with the coming of the Great Heat and the continued rise in temperature, countless districts will be wiped out.
At this time, Shuying was busy filling up all her reservoirs.
The reservoir was built and improved quickly during the two solar terms. It rained many days in the following days, and the water level in the reservoir was barely full.
Then, with the arrival of a new solar term, she discovered that the disaster of this solar term is high temperature, which may even develop into drought.
In addition, knowing that the sea level would continue to drop, Shuying had no choice but to ask many players in the territory to collect the sea water, and then store it in large tanks after certain treatments.
However, they are not so lucky as to have a player like [Simple but Not Simple] in the Shulingyi game area.
However, they still have a way to make large tanks to store water, but the capacity is much smaller and there is no special sealing effect.
With Shuying providing various medicines and medicated foods to relieve heat, there are not many players suffering from heatstroke or heat stroke in the entire area.
The main reason is that the weather is too hot, but it is difficult to travel without a sunshade, so we have to rely on umbrellas and sun hats to achieve this effect.
But those are far inferior to the cloaks made of sunshade cloth.
Not only does there not exist a sunshade, but there is also no blueprint for a treadmill fan like Shu Lingyi's.
Otherwise, life would be much easier with a fan.
Of course, another reason is that this area does not have a large bamboo forest like the one in [Shao Qing Bu Fu Qing].
Without large areas of bamboo forests, there will not be enough bamboo rats.
In that case, even if there are blueprints and players can make a treadmill fan, it would be difficult to find such a suitable small monster to run in the treadmill fan.
If the players knew about this, it would be a very painful thing.
But for Shuying and a group of other players who were completely unaware of the situation, they felt that using ice to dispel the heat was the best they could do at the moment.
The best thing to do is to return home and enjoy the house cooled down by the cold, feeling comfortable all over.
Everyone is struggling to survive, but some people know how to comfort themselves and strive to live a more comfortable life both physically and mentally.
But God would never let them be so happy, and on August 20th, the first accident happened.
That is, the brick house caught fire without any fire!
Who could have imagined this? Even some houses in the territory are no exception.
The fire started suddenly when a female player was resting in the house.
It was noon at that time, when the sun was at its hottest, and most players would stay in their houses to rest.
The female player was just dozing off, and then she was choked awake by the thick smoke!
When she opened her eyes, the house was on fire in all directions and the exit was blocked by raging flames.
The ice was long gone, and her hair and clothes were soaked with sweat. The burnt smell in the room mixed with her own sweat made people frown.
She sent a message to the public screen, trying to find a cloth in the house to dip in water and cover her mouth and nose.
As a result, the fire will increase the wear and tear of the brick house. If the fire cannot be put out in time, the wear and tear will soar by 100 - the brick house will collapse directly!
The female player was instantly pinned inside, and the raging fire ignored her desire to survive and ruthlessly took her life.
"Oh no, oh no! There's a fire at Mo Shishi's house and someone is dead now!"
"No way, how could he die so suddenly? Why did the brick house catch fire out of nowhere..."
Mo Shishi's message for help had been erased from the public screen. Everyone was horrified and tried their best to use water resources to put out the fire.
The sudden fire forced a large amount of water to be used to put out the fire, otherwise it would spread to the surrounding areas and would only cause greater losses.
Generally speaking, whose brick house would catch fire for no reason?
More than a dozen people worked for a while to put out the fire. They were all feeling very hot. They looked at the little water left in the bucket and didn't care about their image anymore.
They just lifted it up and poured it on their bodies, making them feel cool all over. Most of the women rolled up their sleeves and wiped the water droplets off their faces.
"Oh, I'm really sunburned. I have to go back quickly."
"Yes, but it feels much better after getting wet. My skin doesn't feel so hot anymore."
The women left in groups of three or five, and the remaining men also retreated individually.
If it were on Blue Planet, someone might dare to joke with you in person or tell dirty jokes.
But it’s not possible now. Even though the woman still looks the same as before and has a petite figure, the numbers can represent her combat effectiveness.
If you start a fight, you may not necessarily win... In the game, fists also determine rights to a certain extent.
No one would joke with a man who could knock him down with one punch.
It can only be said that this is the special principle brought about by this solar term, and after the fire, it only takes more than half an hour for the durability of the house to be fully exhausted, causing the house to be scrapped and collapsed.
A lot of materials are needed to rebuild the house, which is a huge expense for ordinary players.
At this time, Zhong Xiu still took everyone out to hunt monsters, while other players were putting out fires inside the territory and dealing with accidents after the fire.
As the weather outside gets hotter, players' desire to work will decrease, but they have to continue working out of necessity.
The advantage of having lanterns is that some players start to choose to wait until it gets dark before going out to work, so that they can avoid the hottest and sunniest time of the day. After all, the night is also very hot.
There is no direct sunlight now.
After all, there are no sunshades here, and relying on a sun hat will cause certain damage to the skin.
However, after today's fire, similar fires have occurred in many places throughout the gaming area.
After everything was resolved, Shuying was thinking that this matter needed a way to be solved.
Shuying is still having a headache about this matter.
In terms of fire, this weather is really hard to prevent, and many players who were victims of fire gave feedback that -
It feels like staying in the house would be hotter than staying outside if there were no ice.
This made her frown. At this time, a girl came into the house carrying a bowl of mung bean soup.
This was the little girl named Pan Tiantian whom Yu Ding had brought from another sunny territory.
Pan Tiantian handed a bowl of mung bean soup to Shuying and placed it on the low table in front of her.
Then, seeing Shu Ling's frown, he couldn't help but reach out to comfort her and asked, "Auntie, what are you worried about?"
"It's Tiantian who's here. Auntie is worried about the fire in the house today. If we want to solve the root cause of this problem, we can only start with the building materials."
"But we don't have this kind of material here."
"What a pity. Tiantian can't help auntie. It would be great if there was a magical fairy godmother to help auntie."
The 18-year-old girl has the innocence of an eight-year-old child in her eyes.
Her innocent and romantic look made Shuying's tense heart relax for a moment.
"Yeah, it would be nice if we had a fairy godmother to help us."
Shuying took the mung bean soup she brought and drank it. The depressed feeling in her heart subsided a lot. Then she gently rubbed Pan Tiantian's head.
Shuying's eyes were kind, but her thoughts could not help but drift away. As a lord, she had a sense of responsibility and naturally more pressure.
Finally, Pan Tiantian saw Shuying in a daze. She didn't say anything, but quietly released her own natal core to check the public screen message.
Not long after that, Pan Tiantian received many background messages. When she opened them, she found that they were all sent by Yu Ding.
[The Old Man in a Straw Hat and a Raincoat on a Solitary Boat]: "I'm back. Today's battle was tough but I've gained a lot. There's a treasure chest. Come open it now."
"Auntie, Auntie! Brother Yu Ding said he's back. I went to see him, and he said he brought back a lot of good things this time."
Shuying did not stop him and let her run out of the house.
About ten minutes after Pan Tiantian jumped out of the house, Zhong Xiu, who had participated in the battle with Yu Ding, came back.
However, Zhong Xiu's face did not look good when he came in, and his walking movements were not as vigorous as normal.
On the contrary, from his somewhat stiff steps, it seems that he has been injured in some way?
"What happened to you? Are you hurt?"
"Oh, let's not talk about it. I fought with Yu Ding and he got hurt more seriously than I did...someone even died this time."
Shuying frowned: "I remember that you and Yu Ding seemed to fight monsters together, right?"
Because as the temperature rises, the monsters riot, especially those mutated fire-attributed monsters, their tolerance to high temperatures is much greater than usual.
However, since killing them can obtain a large amount of living gold stones, there are always players who are willing to test their strength and luck.
But when they went out this morning, Shuying clearly remembered that Zhong Xiu and Yu Ding were going in different directions.
Zhong Xiu sat down in the room and rubbed his legs which had turned pale and stiff. There was still a little white frost on his pants.
"Yu Ding found a group of very scary saltpeter ant monsters outside the original place today. These guys evolved from army ants and are really fierce, but the things they gave are really enough."
Zhong Xiu thought about what happened today and continued talking to Shuying.
"As soon as he heard the name of the saltpeter ant, Yu Ding was smart and realized that there must be saltpeter mines around the saltpeter ant. Now that there are enough saltpeter mines, can we make ice in sufficient quantity?"
"So Yu Ding tried to attack the nest of the saltpeter ants, thinking that he could take it down quickly and easily, but he didn't expect to suffer a big loss."
Zhong Xiu admired Yu Ding, but at the same time, she could only say that Yu Ding's performance this time was okay, but she was not very satisfied.
Strictly speaking, such reckless actions that almost cost one's life are taboo for a team leader.
"Then Yu Ding sent us a message at the last minute, asking us to rush over. By the time I led my men and horses to rush over, Yu Ding's legs were frozen stiff and he couldn't even walk."
"Even when we came back, we had to be carried back."
"Luckily, this guy sent the message in time, otherwise if he had been an hour late and continued to be so stiff, they would have been eaten up by the marching group."
Zhong Xiu rubbed his legs in distress and sighed with a look of "there's nothing I can do".
There was even a hint of impatience: "This kid is tough in every way except his mouth. He is probably trying to make things difficult for Tiantian."
Shuying wanted to laugh a little, and the two of them looked at each other. As best friends for many years, they naturally knew what the other was thinking.
Although Zhong Xiu couldn't say that she missed her son very much, she still had the love between mother and son.
If Shuying placed a little bit of her longing and love for her daughter Shu Lingyi on Yang Yue and Pan Tiantian.
Then Zhong Xiu admired this kid Yu Ding very much, just like he admired his own son.
They are indeed very smart, childish, and trustworthy, but sometimes a little stupid.
But Yu Ding's personality is a little more active than his son's? At least he knew how to save his wife at a young age.
Her son...I'm afraid he'll be single for the rest of his life.
But last solar term Yu Ding escaped from such a place and brought his good brother with him.
At the same time, he also sent down an innocent girl like Pan Tiantian. The players in this territory were quite supportive of him.
Besides, there are not many young men like this who are hardworking, excellent and smart.
"There were a lot of saltpeter ants, and there were only a few queen ants. I suffered a lot from this."
However, due to the planning of the territory, players usually form a team of about ten people when they go out to fight, collect, mine, etc.
Therefore, Yu Ding's team plus Zhong Xiu's team, a total of twenty people, were not as difficult to deal with as Shu Lingyi's side.
After all, there are a lot of people.
Everyone's equipment is not necessarily worth tens of thousands less than the weapons made by Shu Lingyi, and the quality is top-notch.
Even if those weapons were slightly inferior, it was not that bad. It was just that they forgot how to use the good thing called insecticide.
"Let me tell you, I got a treasure chest today."
"And after killing that guy, we also got a formula for sunscreen. Once it's made, it can protect against the sun's ultraviolet rays."
Zhong Xiu gave Shuying the formula drawing of the sunscreen.
At the same time, they took out their treasure chest, which was a silver treasure chest. They planned to call Pan Tiantian to help them open the box.
Pan Tiantian's good luck is indeed not fake. After arriving at the territory, she just said that there are not as many treasure chests as last week.
But sometimes, as long as he is given the blueprint, he can basically get it. These things are also quite useful in the territory.
She would go to see Yu Ding and his team every day outside, and was informed that Pan Tiantian asked her to come and get the insurance.
Even Zhong Xiu and Shu Ying received the good news from Yang Yue.
Now they are still asking what kind of drawings have been drawn?
Yang Yue suddenly fell silent again.
"How come Yang Yue suddenly became so absent-minded? She didn't even reply when I asked her about her news."
Zhong Xiu complained unhappily, and Shuying just shook her head and smiled at her.
The family was probably sitting and chatting in the house. After a few minutes, Yang Yue rushed into the house in a hurry.
"Auntie, the fire was saved this time. Tiantian is really our lucky koi. I think with her, we don't have to smoke anything anymore."
Yang Yue pushed the door open and walked in, unable to hide the joy on her face.
It is not a lie at all, and this is all good news that comes out of my mouth. It is also a success, and it makes people excited about winning or losing.
