Ice Season: Day 35 at Sea 2
After landing on the island, Yun Mianmian found that the island was more desolate than she had imagined.
At first glance, there was nothing but glaciers. The ground was also covered with ice. Ice and snow covered the island. If she hadn't worn goggles, she would have felt uncomfortable looking at it for a long time.
Yun Mianmian had no choice but to move forward.
It was really cold. Even if she was wearing polar gear, she could still feel an uncomfortable chill.
She walked very slowly. There were few people here. It could even be said that no one came here at all, so there was no normal road at all. The ground was very slippery, and she had to be careful not to fall.
After crossing two glaciers, Yun Mianmian still saw nothing.
There was not a single tree. When she was on the boat, Yun Mianmian thought that she was just blocked, but there really was nothing.
But it didn't matter. Yun Mianmian didn't come here to cut trees or pick vegetables. It didn't matter if there were no trees, as long as there were minerals.
She took out a small ore detector from her backpack, pointed the probe at the ground and started scanning.
She scanned for ten minutes but found nothing.
Could it be that it's not in this area?
Maybe she has to go deeper.
Yun Mianmian is still on the outskirts of the island. The island is so big that she probably needs to go a little further in.
She walked all the way in, scanning all the way.
Because she walked too slowly, she walked for an hour before she heard the sound of the detector.
Yun Mianmian was cheered up!
Got it.
But the next second, her expression became stiff.
Even if there was a mine under her feet, she couldn't dig it out, because the area within a radius of 200 meters seemed to be flat ice. She took out a pickaxe and smashed it twice on the ground. It was hard, harder than iron ore.
Looking around, she couldn't find any breakthrough. Although she knew the ore was under her feet, Yun Mianmian took out an electric drill and tried.
But she gave up after a while.
What's the use of an electric drill that can only drill a hole as thick as a finger.
Moreover, after drilling for a long time, it seemed that there was no empty hole. The bottom was still blocked. Maybe it was really more than a thousand meters thick as others said.
More than a thousand meters, it would take her more than ten minutes to walk, let alone drill a hole.
Yun Mianmian sighed. Now that she was here, how could she go back without finding something?
Even if this place was full of ice, she had to take two blocks of ice with her. She
could at least make a fruit smoothie by blending it in a food processor.
Isn't it said that the ice here is very clean and pure?
It might be delicious.
Thinking of the taste of mango smoothie, Yun Mianmian prepared to get some ice and put it in her backpack.
She chose a white ice cube, picked up a pickaxe and a chisel, and started to knock it hard. Soon, she got two blocks of ice.
[Dry ice cubes × 2]
That's great.
To be honest, Yun Mianmian knew that her luck today was to make her wish come true.
So she didn't believe that she wouldn't find anything today.
It was just a matter of time.
She continued to walk inside, and suddenly thought of something, so she sent a message to Luo Luo.
Yun Mianmian: "Luo Luo, have you been to the island?"
Luo Luo: "No, my brother went to the island alone."
Yun Mianmian: "Then ask him what's on the island? I also went to the island, but here it's all ice and there's nothing."
Luo Luo: "He just told me that he went into a hidden ice cave, and then he didn't send any messages. I asked him what happened."
Ice cave?
Yun Mianmian thought about it, there was no ice cave here, how hidden could it be?
"Well, don't ask, I'll ask him myself and see if he's willing to tell."
Luo Luo and she are friends, but Luo Luo's brother may not be willing to share this information with her.
It's also okay to exchange information with supplies.
Although it is not the same island, the topography is probably similar. Maybe we can find some useful clues from him.
Yun Mianmian found Luo Ze's chat box.
"Hello, sorry to bother you. I want to ask you about your situation on the island. I am also on the island, but I haven't found anything here yet. If you have any clues, I can give you some food to increase your power."
After a while, Luo Ze replied.
"Sister Mianmian, I am in an ice cave here. I came in through an ice crack. It is very deep here and it is very dangerous to come in. You can look for it. There may be ice cracks near the glacier. I found it next to a blue glacier."
This information is already very useful.
Yun Mianmian sent him a venison meatball soup and a pickaxe.
"Okay, thank you. These are for you. The pickaxe can be used for mining. Now that you have the mining skill, you should be able to find ore."
Luo Ze: "Got it. Sister Mianmian, be careful."
Luo Luo's brother is quite obedient, completely different from Yun Xiao.
No wonder Luo Luo is so worried.
I don't know how Yun Xiao is doing, Yun Mianmian thought. I don't know when the system will hold another competition. If I can meet someone from District 1 or District 10, maybe I can borrow someone else's live broadcast to say a few words to my family.
But now, she should hurry to find the ice crack.
Next to the glacier, Yun Mianmian is right next to the glacier.
It's just not blue.
She looked around, and the blue glacier was quite far away.
Yun Mianmian decided to look at all the glaciers here first, and not just the blue glacier.
Maybe the blue glacier was just an accident.
She carefully looked down along the glacier, fearing that she would miss the crack in the ice and fall down. The crack in the ice was so deep that if she fell down, she would be disabled if not dead, and no one could save her.
Only the octopus girl.
Yun Mianmian was also worried that the ice under her feet was not solid, and that a crack in the ice might appear after she stepped on it
a few times, which would be very scary. So Yun Mianmian was very cautious, but this made her walk even slower.
Half an hour later, Yun Mianmian finished checking the two nearby glaciers.
At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew, and Yun Mianmian felt that if the wind was stronger, her body would be blown away.
She smashed the glacier with a pickaxe, holding the wooden handle of the pickaxe tightly, and holding the glacier with the other hand.
When the wind stopped, Yun Mianmian's heartbeat slowly calmed down. She
was really scared to death just now, but fortunately the wind was not particularly strong.
Yun Mianmian sighed and prepared to move on.
But after she took a few steps, she found that there was a huge crack on the ground not far ahead. She
hadn't seen it just now.
Yun Mianmian was stunned for a moment, but she didn't rush forward. She walked forward slowly and took out her Tang Dynasty crossbow to knock on the ground in front of her as she walked.
Sure enough, after she knocked twice, the ice in front was not solid at all.
Yun Mianmian simply walked around to the side.
When she walked to the ice crack, she looked down and took a breath of cool air.
So deep!
It looked pitch black, like an abyss.
Yun Mianmian hesitated for a moment, took out the ice block she had just chiseled and threw it into the ice crack.
She waited for a long time before hearing the sound.
From this point of view, it is unknown how deep this ice crack is.
Yun Mianmian hesitated for a moment, then took out a small ore detector and tested it on the ice.
After a while, she heard a beeping sound.
There is ore underneath.
It seems that she must go down.
However, she did not expect this situation. She brought so many things this time, but did not bring a rope.
Ropes are needed to go up and down the mountain, but ropes are also needed for flat ground and ice.
If she goes back to get it now, it will waste a lot of time, and it is not easy to mark such a place. The terrain is the same everywhere.
Yun Mianmian thought of an idea.
Yun Mianmian first found a sheltered place, took out the stove and radiator, and then let Octopus Girl out.
Because of the preparations made in advance, Octopus Girl was not too cold when she came out.
"Octopus girl, I need your help. I want to go down into this ice crack. Can you take me down?"
Octopus girl's tentacles can suck the ice surface, and then use other tentacles to roll her up. As long as she moves the tentacles slowly, she can take her down with her.
With its suction power, there is no need to worry about falling down.
This is much safer than Yun Mianmian using a rope.
Octopus girl looked at the ice crack and said softly, "Do you really want to go down?"
"Yes, there are important things down there."
Octopus girl: "Okay."
Its tentacles stretched out and quickly rolled up Yun Mianmian's waist. It was very strong, and Yun Mianmian was held tightly by it. Octopus girl also gave Yun Mianmian another tentacle for her to hold.
Yun Mianmian held the radiator in her hand and placed it next to Squidward, so that Squidward's body could absorb heat from the radiator.
She used her other tentacles to suck the ice cracks and slowly moved down. After entering the ice cracks, Yun Mianmian could hear the sound of ice chips falling into the ice cracks.
Squidward moved slowly at first, but soon, she used her tentacles alternately to swing back and forth in the ice cracks.
This made the descent very fast. Yun Mianmian felt like she was swinging on a swing, her body was carried around by Squidward's tentacles, and she felt dizzy.
Fortunately, she landed soon.
Yun Mianmian saw that Squidward's tentacles had turned much whiter, so she took out food for it.
Octopus girl took the food and started to eat it.
Seeing that it had finished eating, Yun Mianmian was ready to take it back, but Octopus girl said she couldn't go in.
"Aren't you afraid of the cold?"
"It seems fine."
In fact, after Octopus girl and Yun Mianmian made a contract, her physical condition was greatly improved. She was not as afraid of the cold as before, but she was conscious of rejecting cold places.
Compared with that dark place, Octopus girl wanted to stay with Yun Mianmian more.
Octopus girl: "It's boring in there."
Yun Mianmian: "Okay, then you follow me."
The Antarctic continent is very dry. She felt thirsty before, but she didn't think of drinking. Now she finally entered the ice crack. She took out the mineral water to drink, but it was too cold. She couldn't stand it, so she took out the thermos and drank several mouthfuls of warm water from the spout. After
drinking the water, Yun Mianmian took off her goggles, put on a safety helmet, and turned on the headlight on the safety helmet.
The dark ice cave lit up, and she could see the road ahead clearly.
Yun Mianmian chose a direction to walk forward, and then took out the detector.
At first, the detector was silent. After she walked for a while, it started to beep non-stop.
Yun Mianmian turned it off because it was too noisy.
There is an echo in the ice cave, which makes me feel headache.
To be honest, it is quite scary in such a dark and deep cave. The octopus girl has been following Yun Mianmian. Although it did not make any sound, it also made Yun Mianmian not so scared.
Yun Mianmian took out a pickaxe and knocked on the ice wall for a while, but did not get any ore, only ice blocks.
Could it be here?
But the detector was beeping so loudly.
Yun Mianmian planned to walk forward and see.
The man and the fish walked for about ten minutes, and Yun Mianmian saw that there seemed to be something glowing in front.
She walked over quickly and saw a large area of icicles tens of meters high. It was those icicles that were glowing.
There is such a large space under the ice cracks.
There seems to be something in the huge icicles.
Yunmianmian picked a small icicle and used a chisel to pick it open.
The glowing object inside became brighter and brighter.
Yun Mianmian increased her speed and strength, and soon, something appeared in the icicle.
Sure enough, it was ice marrow.
[Obtained ice marrow × 1]
Yun Mianmian hit it twice more, and there was no movement.
The icicle no longer glowed.
It seemed that there was only one ice marrow in an icicle.
Yun Mianmian handed eight chisels to Octopus Girl, asking her to chisel all the icicles like herself.
She looked around for ore.
Soon, she found a different ice wall. It emitted a strange metallic luster under the light. This was it.
The color was very similar to what I saw in the spider cave before. Although there was a little difference, it was probably because the light was different in the ice cave.
Yun Mianmian stopped, took out the pickaxe, and smashed it hard.
[Obtained Iron Ore × 2]
Yun Mianmian quickly smashed it wildly.
[Iron Ore × 2]
[Iron Ore × 3]
...
The steel pickaxe can not only deal critical hits, but also has higher durability. One pickaxe can smash hundreds of times.
An hour later, all the iron ores on the entire stone wall were smashed by her.
Two hundred iron ores were collected.
Yun Mianmian turned her head to see what was going on over there with Octopus Girl.
The ground was covered with fallen ice marrow.
The glowing ice crystals were all picked up by Octopus Girl.
Its efficiency is really too high. After all, it can do the work with all eight hands.
Yun Mianmian put away her pickaxe and walked over to pick up all the ice marrows on the ground.
She picked up thirty ice marrows and put them all into her backpack.
After picking them up, she found that there was another piece of ice wall that was a little different. She hit it with her pickaxe, and a piece of ice fell off, and then inside was yellow copper ore.
[Copper Ore × 2]
Although copper ore is not needed in the upgrade materials, Yun Mianmian knows that copper has many uses, especially in making household appliances and building installations.
So she also followed the principle of taking it away when she saw it, and she started collecting again. She
also called Octopus Girl to join her.
With its help, this piece of copper ore was collected in less than half an hour.
There was a very narrow road ahead. Yun Mianmian decided to go over and take a look. Although it was darker there, Yun Mianmian had a flashlight, so it didn't make much difference.
After walking in, Yun Mianmian found that it was blocked and there were no icicles.
But she still carefully checked every ice wall. The detector couldn't be used here.
Because there were ore everywhere, the detector was affected and it would beep when the switch was turned on.
She could only look for it with her naked eyes. She had advanced collection, so she could find the slightest difference.
She actually found ore in a corner.
She scooped it down and directly smashed out the gold ore.
[Gold Ore×1]
Gold ore is a mineral aggregate with sufficient gold content and can be used industrially. It can be turned into gold after processing.
Just like iron ore can be turned into steel billets after processing.
Yun Mianmian was not very excited to see the gold.
This is not the real world.
Although gold has many uses, it is not as practical as iron ore here.
Can it be used to make jewelry? Or can it be used for beauty and skin care.
Gold also has health benefits. It can be ground into powder and used for facial masks. If there is really no other use, it can be used for skin care.
There are not many gold ores here. Yun Mianmian only got more than 40 after digging them all.
Unlike the iron ore just now, there are hundreds of them when digging, and there are also hundreds of copper ores.
It took three hours to explore the ice cave.
It was already noon when Yun Mianmian came out, and she was ready to look for the next ice crack.
Such a big island should have more than one ice crack.
Although it was troublesome to find, she had to keep looking when she thought there were so many minerals in the cave.
If she could find three ice cracks today, her harvest from this trip to the island would exceed her expectations.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw another difficult-to-find ice crack near a blue glacier. The crack was not very big and was blocked by the glacier. It could not be seen unless you walked up to it.
After finding it, Yun Mianmian did not rush down, but rested on it and ate some food.
After being busy for so long, she and Octopus Sister did not eat.
Mining in the morning consumed a lot of energy, and eating a little now is just enough to replenish it. When she finds the ore, her energy will be back to full.
She drank a bowl of soup, ate two venison meatballs, and ate two skewers of barbecue. She ate a little too much, mainly because she was too cold and too tired.
If it wasn't so cold, she might not have to eat so much.
Working in this kind of weather consumes energy too quickly, and the spirit value will continue to decline.
-
It was almost dark when I came out of the second ice crack.
The reason I stayed in this ice crack for so long was because it was too big.
Don't look at the small crack, the space inside is much larger than the first ice crack.
And the terrain inside is complicated, like a maze, Yunmianmian was dizzy, and walked back twice.
If she hadn't thought of a way later, she left something on the road she was walking on, and asked the octopus girl with a good sense of smell to lead her, it would probably take more time than that, and it is more likely that she would not be able to get out.
But the harvest was still very rich.
Not only ice marrow, but also more than 300 iron ores were dug up, and copper ore, platinum ore and chromium ore were found.
Together with the harvest from the previous ice cave.
There are a total of [iron ore × 582, copper ore × 289, platinum ore × 87, chromium ore × 78, gold ore × 48, ice marrow × 82]
Platinum ore is also a rare metal ore, but not as good as gold ore. Yun Mianmian doesn't know what to use it for.
But if you find it, you will keep it.
As for chromium ore, it is a very good ore. Yun Mianmian likes it very much. After all, this ore can be used as an additive for steel to produce various special steels.
Special steel can be used to make many things.
For example, stainless steel washbasins are made of special steel.
And many weapons are made of special steel.
Even machinery, automobiles, military industry, chemical industry, home appliances, ships, transportation and other aspects will use special steel.
In the future, when upgrading ships, it may be used.
So Yun Mianmian wants to find more chromium ore.
Unfortunately, after searching the ice cave just now, this is all she found.
It was getting dark, Yun Mianmian hurried back with Octopus Girl, as they didn't know if there would be a strong wind on the island at night.
The two of them rushed for more than half an hour and finally saw the boat in the distance.
Yun Mianmian was already very tired, and it was difficult for her to speed up.
At about ten o'clock, she finally dragged her heavy steps back to the boat.
This whole day, she had gained a lot.
Although only two ice cracks were found, Yun Mianmian was already satisfied.
-After
returning, Yun Mianmian went to check the messages.
Several people sent her messages.
Luo Luo, Hu Yuan, Nie Yangguang, Rong Yu, Zhao Fuyun, and several strangers sent private messages.
Yun Mianmian checked the messages from her friends first.
Luo Luo came to ask about her.
Yun Mianmian: "I just came back. The harvest is not bad. I'll give you some iron ore."
Yun Mianmian sent 50 iron ores to Luo Luo.
Luo Luo quickly replied: "My brother just came back too. You don't need to give me so much. I don't have anything to exchange now."
Yun Mianmian: "It's okay. I got a lot. How is your brother? How is he?"
Luo Luo: "He hasn't said anything yet. He just said he's back. I guess he's very tired. I'll ask him after he rests for a while."
Yun Mianmian: "Well, you take it. If you have seeds, give me some seeds."
Luo Luo: "Seeds are not worth much now. Many people are exchanging them at the trading center."
Yun Mianmian thought, yes, in this kind of weather, who can still grow things? Didn't all the seeds she planted before freeze to death?
Luo Luo was indeed short of iron ore. She looked in her backpack and found that apart from the materials for upgrading, she didn't seem to have anything particularly suitable for trading with Yun Mianmian.
But at this moment, Luo Ze replied.
Luo Ze sent her a hundred iron ores.
"Sister, I'll give you half of what I dug today."
Luo Luo was stunned for a moment and said to Yun Mianmian: "Mianmian, I have iron ore, you don't have to give it to me, just keep it."
Yun Mianmian: "Okay, the treasure chest can't be fished now, are you short of food?"
Luo Luo: "Enough for now, I'll come to you if not."
"Okay."
After chatting with Luo Luo, Yun Mianmian went to check Nie Yangguang's news again.
Nie Yangguang came to her for nothing, just to ask if she could build a house for his pet penguin.
After all, Yun Mianmian had an advanced workbench, so the pet house she made would definitely be more advanced.
"I'll provide the materials myself, just tell me what you want."
Yun Mianmian: "Okay, but you have to wait for two days, I'm busy these two days."
Nie Yangguang: "Okay, I don't have the blueprint, but I drew a picture and I want it this way, see if you can do it."
Yun Mianmian took a look.
The house drawn by Nie Yangguang was really abstract.
He even drew a sign on the house that said Goose Cubs' Room.
Yun Mianmian: "...Maybe it's possible, I'll give it a try."
She could only say she would give it a try.
-Rong
Yu asked her to help make steel billets, and sent some iron ore in advance.
Yun Mianmian thought that making a steel billet was not a big deal, and it wouldn't take too long.
So she went to the workbench and helped him.
While waiting for the billet to be made, she also checked the messages from other people.
Zhao Fuyun was the person who was asked to help make glass pieces.
She had added him as a friend for easy contact.
But Yun Mianmian hadn't spoken to him since the glass piece transaction.
Zhao Fuyun: "Is there any work for me recently? It's so boring every day, and I can't even fish in the treasure chest."
Yun Mianmian thought it was something else.
It turned out to be looking for a job.
Yun Mianmian thought for a moment and said, "Not yet. Wait two days and I'll contact you then."
Yun Mianmian's tar business hasn't started yet, but she'll probably need people when the time comes. She
's really too busy.
At first, she wanted to sell tar lamps, but after getting the "Preparation and Application of Coal Tar Chemicals", she didn't want to make all the tar lamps anymore.
But she doesn't have time to do all this.
After landing on the island and finishing the greenhouse, it will probably be almost done.
-There
were too many private messages from strangers, and Yun Mianmian took a quick look.
The man who wanted her to trade the golden silkworm with a pet contract during the day said that they could still discuss it, and asked her what she was willing to give up in exchange.
Yun Mianmian ignored him, as she had already said forget it before.
Another thing was that someone from the trading center approached her and asked if she had any energy stones, and was willing to trade with her for skill books or blueprints.
Yun Mianmian had run out of energy stones, and she was short of them, so she replied, "Sorry, I don't have any energy stones."
Others sent her all weird messages.
After the steel billet was made, Yun Mianmian sent it to Rong Yu.
Rong Yu replied with a thank you and asked her what she needed.
Yun Mianmian was too tired. Making the steel billet for him was what she had promised before, and the materials were also provided by Rong Yu himself. He also asked her what she wanted.
Yun Mianmian casually replied "No thanks" and ignored him.
She ate something, took a hot bath, and finally came back to life, but she didn't want to do anything. She lazily lay on the bed and watched the chat channels and forums. If you don't
check it for a day, you don't know the situation of others. This is not good. A lot of useful information will appear in the chat channels and forums, and you can't ignore them for too long.
Just now, I opened the chat channel and saw someone discussing a post on the forum. Someone found a penguin island full of penguins and was looking for a landing card to catch the penguins.
But there were too few landing cards. Even if someone got one, they wouldn't give it out.
Of course, they wanted to go to the island themselves.
At this point in the game, everyone knows the benefits of going to the island.
What's more, now they are competing with several other districts for resources.
"You said there are only penguins on Penguin Island?"
"Probably not. There may be a lot of other resources. Anyway, you won't know unless you go to the island."
"If you ask me, if I had an island entry card, I would definitely wait until I saw the island to use it myself. If I traded it with others, I would get at most a hundred supplies. If I use it myself, I might get hundreds or thousands."
"Are you dreaming? Hundreds or thousands? There are not that many resources on the Antarctic continent. There is no grass and ice everywhere. If you don't have some ability, you won't get anything if you go to the island."
"You know that? Have you been there?"
"Anyone with a little knowledge of geography will know."
Yun Mianmian agreed with what she said.
It was difficult for others to find any supplies on the island she went to today.
Even if they find the crack in the ice, it is still very difficult to get down. Yun Mianmian is only able to do so because of the help of Octopus Girl. Otherwise, even if she has a rope, it would be very dangerous. She could fall to her death if she is not careful. It is several hundred meters high, and it is very difficult to go down.
Even if they really have the ability to go down, it would be many times more difficult to come up.
Unless they find a low ice cave, but that depends on luck, after all, Luo Ze found it.
It may also be that the terrain of the island where he is is different.
Anyway, Yun Mianmian didn't see it, maybe she could find it if she looks for
it again. Thinking of Luo Ze, Yun Mianmian still doesn't know what he has gained over there.
She has a good harvest today. If Luo Ze finds something that she doesn't have, the two can also trade.
Let's wait and see the situation after the landing on the island tomorrow.
Yun Mianmian went to check the forum
again. Gu Fang had posted another survival guide on the forum.
This time it was a survival guide for the Ice Season, and Yun Mianmian was also very curious.
#Ice Season is difficult to survive, there is no food and no treasure chests, how can we survive#
