Chapter 110 Earthen Fireplace
It was a messy sky, and it was raining as finely as cow hair.
As the saying goes: one autumn rain and another cold.
Lin Zhensheng didn't know whether it was autumn now, but he knew that the rain really made people feel cold.
He was sitting in front of the window wearing a winter coat, his hands obviously feeling cold.
When rain falls on the ground, it is not pure water, but a mixture of ice and water.
Lin Zhensheng leaned against the mud and grass wall. Through the window, he could see with the naked eye a thin layer of frozen ice on the eaves.
Fortunately, there were no strong winds or heavy rain, and [freezing rain] just fell so quietly.
Just like that, the whole morning passed.
“This [Danger Alert] has been so long, it’s been all morning, why isn’t it over yet?”
Lin Zhensheng did not put on a full set of winter clothes, but huddled up in the winter clothes. It is neither cold nor hot, and it feels just right.
He simply had lunch, but when he saw the freezing rain falling outside, he had no intention of stopping, so he could only sit there in a daze. Because of this, he discovered that long ice skates had appeared under the eaves at some point.
There are rain gutters on the roof of the mud and thatched house, which can drain rainwater from the roof to the ground. Now there is an ice skate under the groove of each rain gutter.
"Wow~"
Lin Zhensheng was bored, so he casually took out a small piece of stone and threw it hard.
Pat~
The stone hit the ice skate. The latter was not very strong and could not withstand such an attack. Then it fell and hit the ground with a louder sound.
Throw out another one.
Snap~
This one was not so lucky. It hit the root of a relatively thick ice skate, leaving only a white spot and not falling.
Lin Zhensheng watched the rainwater flow down drop by drop along the ice skates, then he took the pebbles and threw them out one by one.
Always find something to do for yourself, just smashing things around as a game.
Time passed by throwing stones, and in a blink of an eye, the sky became dark.
Lin Zhensheng looked at the sun, with a few more question marks on his head.
"The sun is going down now? No way~ This [freezing rain] is not over yet."
At this time, the ground buildings in Lin Zhensheng's territory were covered with a layer of ice.
Different from the previous [Winter Ice Fog], this time the ice shell of [Flying Freezing Rain] is smooth and crystal clear, with no air bubbles in the long ice.
Even if Lin Zhensheng is indoors, he can still see the original ground and walls through the ice.
During this big day, the freezing rain fell to the ground and turned into thin ice. The thin ice gathered to form an ice layer. The freezing rain continued to fall down and fell on the ice layer on the ground. It then solidified and thickened the ice layer again.<
/p>
It freezes and flows, forming strips of ice.
Repeating the above process, the ice layer becomes thicker and thicker, which is simply a vicious cycle. Some ice skates have even connected with the ground and turned into strings of stalactite-like icicles.
After a few more hours, the sun really went down and it became dark.
Lin Zhensheng couldn't see the outside situation clearly, so he could only close the windows and light the lights, silently waiting for the [freezing rain] to end.
…………………………
【Ding】
【Danger removed】
[Reward: Territory Core 1]
It’s over!
Lin Zhensheng looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
This [freezing rain] lasted for twelve hours, it really rained all day long.
Trying to push the door open.
The result is obvious, it is frozen again and cannot be opened.
However, Lin Zhensheng kept the window open during the day, so he can still push it open, he just needs to use force.
Click~
It's the sound of ice breaking.
Lin Zhensheng looked out and saw that the surroundings were pitch black and he couldn't see anything. The only light was the lights in the citizens' mud and thatched huts.
If there is no movement from the citizens, then it must be okay, otherwise they would have broken the window and come out to look for someone by now.
It’s already so late, so let’s go out tomorrow.
Close the window and contact Shengdongdong.
[Lin Zhensheng: How is the situation over there? Are there any casualties?]
[Shengdongdong: There is no problem, all citizens are fine.]
[Lin Zhensheng: Okay, let’s go to bed early.]
Since no one was injured, he felt relieved and used the territory core.
【Ding】
[Your territory has been successfully upgraded to Level 22.]
[You have unlocked a new building blueprint: secondary mud grass wall, earthen fireplace, earthen granary, cotton cloth...]
【Your profile has been updated.】
[Lord: Lin Zhensheng]
[Territory Level: Level 22 Mud Thatched House]
【Population: 236 people】
………………………………
Lin Zhensheng can sleep at night, but he can't let this beautiful night go to waste at the workstation.
[Second-level mud and grass wall = clay*10, hay bales*2, wood*2]
After the previous population expansion, new buildings in the territory have been added, resulting in the total number of walls of the territory's buildings reaching 292.
So for this wave of in-situ upgrades, hay bales and wood are not used much, 300 is enough. The real bulk is clay, which requires 1460.
Lin Zhensheng suddenly felt a pain somewhere.
This consumption is too much. No family can bear it. When he upgraded to a wooden house, he never felt as uncomfortable as now.
But what can we do if it doesn’t rise? The molar teeth will have to rise even after they are broken.
"Just this little clay? There are tens of thousands in inventory!" Lin Zhensheng said through gritted teeth.
After filling it up and upgrading it, the virtual blue frame almost broke.
When I looked up, a familiar countdown appeared on the wall.
【06:00:00】
【05:59:59】
Next item.
[Cotton = cotton * eight kilograms]
Major benefits.
Lin Zhensheng didn't expect that cotton cloth could be unlocked at level 22.
This time, the blueprint obtained in the past to meet the needs of citizens can be put into use, and thick quilts are on the agenda.
But I’m not in a hurry, I won’t be using it for the time being, and the three-piece linen bed set can still withstand it.
Next item.
[Earth granary = clay*10, hay bales*10, wood*10]
Um...Lin Zhensheng didn't know what to say, he felt like he didn't need it.
Because all food is stored in territorial warehouses. Different-dimensional space is much safer than storing it in earthen granaries.
Even if the territorial canteen needs to fetch ingredients, the basement under Lin Zhensheng’s feet is enough.
When will this earthen granary be used?
Lin Zhensheng estimated that unless the territory was too big for him to take care of, it would not be of use at all.
Next item.
[Earth fireplace = clay*5, hay bales*5, wood*2]
This is the only blueprint that has made Lin Zhensheng’s eyes shine since this upgrade
[Earth fireplaces can only be placed indoors. Placing wood and other fuel inside and lighting them can greatly increase the indoor temperature.]
OK.
Very good.
This thing is simply a powerful tool for cooling down.
It must be built, and every house must have one, but the problem also arises.
Earthen fireplaces need to occupy a certain amount of indoor space.
There is no problem in the Zhongshan sub-territory. There are only five people living in their mud and thatched house, which fully meets the installation conditions, but it does not work here in the base camp.
Fifteen people live in all the mud and thatched huts of the Third Company citizens in the base camp, with little room for footing, not to mention the installation of earthen fireplaces.
