Chapter 114 Misunderstanding
Igloos of different sizes can be built according to the number of family members. However, in order to maintain stability, the maximum diameter generally does not exceed seven or eight meters.
Just for learning purposes, the ice house built by Jiang Si and his team has a diameter of only two meters, which can accommodate the living space of two people.
With everyone's participation, the ice bricks were gradually sealed from the inside.
Jiang Si went inside and could see the sunlight outside through the gap.
These gaps will allow cool breezes to seep in. Next, what they have to do is fill these gaps with snow to prevent air leakage while acting as an adhesive to make it more solid.
The snow piled up layer after layer on the igloo until it became a perfect arch.
The more they watched, the happier they became. If they were on land, it would be like they had built a home with their own hands.
Jiang Si said to Niuniu, "After the igloo is built, the Inuit will let their children climb on it to test its sturdiness. Niuniu, are you willing to give it a try?"
Niuniu's face was full of excitement. She raised her hand like a little soldier and said happily, "I do!"
Everyone helped Niu Niu climb up. Standing on top of the igloo, Niu Niu took in the surrounding snowy scenery and everyone looking at her and laughing. She stamped her feet, rolled on her stomach, and finally got up and said excitedly, "It didn't collapse. It's very solid!"
Lu Zhifeng reached out and took her in, praising her, "Human wisdom is truly infinite."
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Yes, human wisdom is infinite. We can build an ice bed inside and we'll have a place to sleep."
Niuniu was surprised: "They even use ice to make a bed!"
It sounds so cold.
Jiang Linhai had just gained a lot of confidence, and said with a smile: "Not only can it make ice beds, but also ice cabinets, ice tables, ice stools, ice shelves..."
The more Niuniu listened, the more she admired Jiang Linhai, "Uncle is so awesome!"
Jiang Linhai hasn't even started yet, but his tail is already up in the air.
Zhang Qingfang looked at Dahei and Xiaohei, who were both dressed warmly, and suggested, "Why don't we make an igloo for them too, just as a practice."
"Okay, let's each make one and try out our skills first."
Jiang Si was quick and agile, and having lived in extreme cold in his previous life, he built a small ice house in a short while, just big enough for Dahei and Xiaohei to hide in.
In terms of appearance, it is also the best looking, and in terms of structure, it is more sophisticated than the one by the contractor Jiang Linhai.
Lu Zhifeng built the ice house crookedly. It was more difficult than he had imagined to build it alone, but at least he mastered the essence and key points. It doesn't look good, but it is quite sturdy.
Compared with the small ice house built by Jiang Si next to it, it looks so shabby.
He kept praising her, "Sisi has indeed inherited the essence of Brother Jiang!"
Jiang Linhai laughed heartily, "Yeah, that must be inherited from me!"
Shen Baoying quietly patted Jiang Si's hand, with a look of heartache in her eyes. If Jiang Si had not experienced the end of the world in her previous life, how could she be so familiar with the construction site?
Dahei and Xiaohei really liked the igloos and were very considerate. They visited everyone's igloo.
But it was still very cold inside, so Dahei and Xiaohei came out quickly after a while.
Jiang Si checked everyone's learning results one by one. Except for the young Niuniu, everyone completed the task very well and mastered the key techniques.
In the future, if we get separated from everyone, everyone can build an igloo independently.
If they stay outdoors for a long time, they are prone to hypothermia, even though they wear plenty of clothes.
Jiang Si and his friends returned to the cabin, drank some hot Tremella soup, and lay down on the relaxing massage chairs, feeling very comfortable.
Everyone unanimously decided to go to the shore tomorrow, find a place to level the ground, build an igloo, and then look for wood nearby, cut it down, and pile it in the igloo.
I don’t know whether the extreme cold will last forever. In the face of the unknown doomsday, wood is a rare and precious resource.
The next morning a strong wind blew up, blowing up the snow on the ground and reducing visibility to almost zero.
The whistling sound of the wind would seriously interfere with Qin Shen's hearing, making it impossible for him to tell whether anyone was approaching.
We can only keep patrolling and stay vigilant.
After the wind and snow stopped, the icebreakers were completely frozen together due to the accumulated snow.
If the snow is not removed, the icebreakers will become unusable in the long run.
This would cause the ship's power generation system to be completely destroyed, and they would not be able to live such a comfortable life on the ship.
Jiang Si said, "We have to shovel the snow quickly, otherwise it will pile up and form an iceberg, which will be the end of us."
Jiang Si was not joking. In his previous life, it was very common for snow mountains to form overnight.
I was originally taking this route, but suddenly I was forced to change it.
The snow under the icebreaker is about three meters high, and when the snow on the deck pours down, it will reach five or six meters.
It was at this time that everyone realized how good the icebreaker was.
It can not only break ice, but also shovel snow for transportation easily.
Driving is one of the essential skills for survival in the apocalypse. Jiang Si taught Shen Baoying and Zhang Qingfang at the beginning of the apocalypse.
They have almost learned everything by now, and although they are still very unfamiliar with it, they can still help.
First clear the snow under the icebreaker, then let the snow on the deck down and clean it up for transportation a second time.
It took six hours in total!
Everyone is exhausted.
Forget about continuing to build the igloo and collect firewood today.
Taking care of your health is the most important thing.
Shen Baoying lay on the massage chair to relax her muscles and sighed: "If it snowed like this every night, we would be more tired than factory workers in our lives."
Jiang Linhai said, "That's right. I have to learn English and farm when I get home. It's so tiring."
Jiang Si raised the corner of his mouth, "Dad, you mean, we still have to learn English tonight."
Jiang Linhai's thoughts were exposed. He looked up helplessly and suddenly saw Qin Shen's calm expression. He asked curiously, "Xiao Shen, aren't you tired? I noticed that you are very strong and have excellent physical strength!"
Everyone looked at Qin Shen together, and realized belatedly that Qin Shen's physical strength did seem a little different from that of ordinary people.
Qin Shen's face paused, as if he was thinking about how to answer.
Jiang Si suddenly raised his head and said to Jiang Linhai, "Qin Shen exercises well, so of course his physical strength is good. If Dad is envious, he can be like Qin Shen and practice for an extra hour every day."
Jiang Linhai: ...If he trains for another hour, can he still survive?
Everyone was exhausted. When they heard that they had to practice for an extra hour, they immediately avoided Qin Shen's gaze and no one dared to ask any further questions.
Jiang Si breathed a sigh of relief, and with a glance, she saw Qin Shen smiling at her.
Jiang Si withdrew her gaze as if she had been electrocuted. She tried to explain that she understood that he, like herself, did not want his secret to be discovered. He should... not have misunderstood, right?
