Chapter 113 Igloo
Jiang Si pointed to the map and said: "Let's go and see this location. It was shown that there is a hot spring before. I don't know, but now it is fifty or sixty degrees below zero, and there is no hot spring on the ice."

"If not, the temperature over there must be higher."

As long as the temperature can be ten degrees higher, everyone should be more comfortable when traveling and doing things.

Everyone unanimously agreed to go to Hot Spring Bay. After walking for about a morning, they soon arrived at the destination.

In order to provide tourists with entertainment, Hot Spring Bay has built a small pier even though the place is small.

It's a pity that after being devastated by the blizzard, it is impossible to see where the pier is.

All patches of white snow.

There is no network for Jiang Si to search for information and compare, so he can only drop the anchor first, and then pull the rope to find a pillar or welding lock that can fix the icebreaker.

Qin Shen got off the boat first, and after looking around, he probably determined where the bollards were.

Immediately, he gestured to Jiang Sibi on the boat, "Give me the rope and the shovel!"

Jiang Sicai threw the rope at him, Qin Shen caught it, and Jiang Sicai got off the boat with two military shovels.

The rest of the people stood on the deck in different directions, patrolling the danger.

The snow was several meters deep from the ground. Except for the snow on the surface, the snow inside had been compressed.

The military shovel couldn't move it, but Jiang Si's hand was numb from the shock.

Jiang Si said to Qin Shen, "I'll go get the drill."

Qin Shen shook his head, "It doesn't take that much effort."

He stood up straight, held the military shovel with both hands, and broke through the ice with all his strength.

"Kakaka~"

There was movement under Jiang Si's feet. Looking carefully, Qin Shen actually shoveled down, shaking the solid ice surface to open many cracks.

But this was far from enough. Qin Shen was in the same position one after another, using the same posture, repeatedly inserting himself into the ice.

The crack became bigger and bigger, until there was a click, and several pieces were cracked, just right, with the bollard under the ice as the center, exposed.

Jiang Si's eyes showed joy, "You are too good!"

Although she knew that Qin Shen was powerful, every time he brought her different surprises and shocks.

Qin Shen smiled, took the rope in her hand, and tied it carefully.

Jiang Si froze in place, only feeling that Qin Shen's smile just now was a little gentle.

Jiang Linhai on the deck shouted: "Sisi, can it work? Do you need us to come down and help?"

Jiang Si came back to his senses and quickly waved his hands, "No, we're ready, we'll go up right away."

"okay."

Back in the cabin, Jiang Linhai said a little excitedly: "Sisi, your uncle and I saw a forest in the east, and we are going to bring some firewood back!"

The materials on the ship and the materials in Jiang Si's space are all consumables. If you need to consume a lot because of something, it's useless.

Moreover, they need to exercise their survivability, even without resources.

In extremely cold weather, it is necessary to pile up a large amount of wood for heating, cooking and boiling water for daily use like a fighting nation.

Jiang Si had also watched it before, and there was indeed a forest to the east, but the forest was covered with thick snow.

The trees either collapsed, or it was very dangerous to cut one and cause an avalanche to be buried.

Jiang thought for a while and said, "It's better to dig up the fallen trees instead of cutting them down."

Jiang Linhai smiled and said, "We know that we plan to build an igloo nearby. While chopping firewood, if there is a sudden snowstorm, we will temporarily take shelter."

An igloo is a good choice. The Inuit live in the Arctic, and they live in an igloo, which uses local materials and has a good insulation function.

Jiang Si nodded: "Well, we can repair a few. If everyone goes ashore, they will all have a place to stay for sleeping, or storing supplies, stacking firewood, etc."

Niu Niu didn't understand, "Sister, the igloo sounds so cold, we live in it, isn't it cold?"

Jiang Si shook his head: "The igloo is warmer than expected. Even if the fire is not lit, the temperature can be kept at minus ten degrees."

"The igloo is like a sphere, with a round roof, arched walls, an ice-kissed door that is lower than the ground surface, and a secret passage dug out, which will make the igloo very strong and at the same time ensure the cold The wind does not blow in, so it keeps warmer."

Niu Niu asked again curiously: "Won't the house melt if the house is set on fire?"

"The Inuit people who live in the North Pole light a fire in their house, and the temperature of the igloo will rise to twenty degrees. However, because of the principle that hot air rises and cold air sinks, even if the fire is lit, the excess heat will disappear. It will be exhausted through the vents, preventing a lot of hot air from accumulating on the ice wall and causing the igloo to melt."

Except for Qin Shen, everyone, like Niu Niu, half-understood.

They knew that they could build an igloo to keep warm, but they didn't expect that there was such a trick.

People with culture will be different.

Shen Baoying asked again: "Then if you cut a house with ice, there will always be gaps, won't there be air leakage?"

Jiang Si smiled and said: "No, there is a little more snow outside, and the sun will shine a little, and it will be frozen and hard."

Everyone has almost understood the principle of the igloo, and they are eager to try to build an igloo.

Jiang Si said: "The igloo is a little more difficult than you imagined. Let's build one in Class A first. After mastering the technology, let's go ashore."

If it's cold, everyone can go directly into the cabin.

Everyone changed their clothes, put on masks, goggles, and hoods, and came to Class A with all kinds of tools.

The snow in class A has been left alone for several days. It is a thick layer, the bottom is frozen hard, and the top is still fluffy.

Jiang Si said to everyone: "Before we build the igloo, we need to make snow bricks. The snow bricks need the kind of snow that is blown away by the wind and then piled up. This kind of snow is not as loose as snowflakes, nor is it as loose as ice. Heavy, so brittle, easy to break, will be more precise, insoluble in looseness."

Everyone was surprised, as expected, the igloo could not be repaired casually.

Jiang Si pointed to the accumulated snow on the deck: "These are very suitable for cutting into snow bricks."

Everyone went up to feel it, and under Jiang Si's command, they cut the snow into big snow bricks.

The snow bricks are ready enough, and it's time to build.

Jiang Si said: "The bottom snow bricks must be pressed into the snow, so as to ensure the stability of the igloo."

"We're on the deck, so let's build it casually first, and it's almost enough if we can press a snow brick in."

After Lu Zhifeng and Jiang Linhai built the bottom snow bricks, everyone laughed and felt that the difficulty was not too great.

Jiang Sique said: "The snow bricks at the bottom don't need to be sloped in a spiral way. Of course it's simple. Now we want to go up and build an arch. We need to polish the snow bricks to a certain slope and pile them up one by one from the inside."

It sounds very difficult to grind out the slope and build it in a spiral manner. For Jiang Linhai, who has been a contractor for half his life, it is completely trivial.

It didn't take him a while to grasp the essence, and he piled it up nicely.
