【Ice Age-02】

Large areas of glaciers cover the earth, and the world continues to have low temperatures. Such an environment is several times worse than the air pollution in the Environmental Institute! No matter how poor the living conditions of the Environmental Academy are, there are at least humans and supermarkets. They can even buy protective clothing and masks.

What could the Ice Age have?

As far as the eye can see the glacier, you can't even see a person, let alone a supermarket.

What is 50 yuan for a grape in the supermarket of the Environmental Institute? At least they can still buy it!

In the Glacier Age, grapes, cabbage, tomatoes, etc. didn't even think about it. With ice cubes and Xin Yan's distillation bottle, there is no need to worry about water, but what about food? What can eat in the Ice Age?

Ke Shaobin sighed: "We can't eat ice for 10 days!"

Qin Lu said with a dry smile: "That's not true. Although there was no human civilization in the Ice Age, there were still animals. We might be able to hunt or something? However, during that period, the animals and plants that liked warmth all died out. The ones that survived were relatively powerful animals, like mountain lions, sawtooth tigers, cheetahs, cave bears, saber-toothed elephants, plate-toothed rhinos, giant apes, and so on.”

Qin Miao added: "Giant apes are the ancestors of our ancestors. At that time, they hadn't evolved intelligence. It was also the Ice Age that made the giant apes go to the ground and gradually learned to walk upright."

The more people listened, the more frightened they became.

These animals sound very difficult to deal with!

Yue Xingwen took a deep breath and quickly calmed down, "Most of the animals that survived the glacier age have strong attack power and adaptability, and their skin is rough and fleshy and is more resistant to cold, but we have supernatural powers, and it's not just that Odds."

Liu Zhaoqing complained: "Fortunately, there is an ability, otherwise, throwing 12 ordinary humans into the Glacier Age would not have sent them to be food for those beasts!"

The power is there, and they don't need to be afraid of those beasts.

Yue Xingwen glanced at his teammates and said quickly: "No matter what, we still have to bite the bullet in this course. Since it is a survival course, there are two guarantees, one is diet and drinking water. There is ice everywhere in the Glacier Age, so I dig some freshly made in stills, so there is no need to worry about water resources. For food, we can only use local materials and hunt some wild beasts to eat them. Vegetables and fruits are not needed.

He looked at Ke Shaobin, and the latter nodded immediately: "It's okay, I can tell the difference, I can walk out of this class alive, I'm not picky eaters."

Yue Xingwen nodded and continued: "The second point is temperature."

When everyone heard the word "temperature", they always felt a chill go up their spines.

Jiang Pingce said lightly: "Yes, temperature is the key. Qin Miao also said just now that the giant ape has not evolved into a human, and their bodies are covered with thick fur, which can withstand extremely cold weather. But we are human beings that have evolved millions of years later, and we have no skin and 'hair' on our bodies. If we are thrown into the Ice Age, we will all freeze to death within half an hour."

Ke Shaobin was stunned, "What's more depressing is that neither the library supermarket nor the clothing store sells down jackets!"

Everyone: "..."

This just makes things worse.

Without down jackets, they went to the Ice Age in summer clothes? It's scary to think about.

Liu Zhaoqingnai shook his head: "My gauze can heal wounds, but it can't keep out the cold. So, the best way is, after we went to the Ice Age, we hunted some beasts in the first room, and peeled off their skins to make clothes. I have them. Surgical needles and sutures, ready-to-use clothing.”

Jiang Pingce looked at Xin Yan: "How much is your alcohol lamp cooling room?"

Xin Yan said: "30 minutes, but I can summon hundreds of alcohol lamps at a time. As long as the alcohol does not burn out, it can be lit all the time, so in theory, the alcohol lamp can achieve limited circulation."

Yue Xingwen looked at Lin Manluo and said, "Sister Manluo's vines and green trees can be used as fuel. If it really doesn't work, we'll let Xin Yan set fire to it. Sister Manluo's tree is cut into wood and burned for warmth."

Lin Manluo nodded: "No problem, my green trees can be burned for a long time after being cut down for fuel, and I can continue to summon after 24 hours. With a fire source, I should be able to withstand severe cold weather."

After discussing the next countermeasures, Yue Xingwen said, "Get ready and choose a course."

Yue Xingwen pressed the confirm course selection button on the globe.

The familiar cold mechanical voice sounded in everyone's ears: "Congratulations to the c183 research group for successfully selecting the course. The examination for the "Ice Age" course of the Earth College will begin, please prepare..."

After the 10-second countdown, everyone's eyes darkened——

When he regained his vision again, he found that the place where he entered his eyes was a vast white glacier.

The hard glacier stretches for hundreds of kilometers, and the whole world is white, let alone plants, not even animals. And the 12 of them are in the center of this white glacier, as if they were abandoned by the whole world.

The extreme low temperature made Yue Xingwen madly sneezing, and the hot air he spit out instantly condensed into frost, and his teeth were chattering: "What's the temperature, how many degrees?"

Ke Shaobin released a small picture, and the small picture quickly reported the result: "The eye temperature is minus 30 degrees."

This is similar to the coldest winter in the north. The key point is that in real winter, they will wear thermal underwear, cashmere "wool" clothes, down jackets, and there is heating in the house, but now, they are all wearing thin short sleeves. !

Clothing stores and supermarkets in the library only sell summer clothes, which is a big hole.

Everyone's hands hurt from the cold, and they stuffed them into their pockets. Yue Xingwen's ears instantly turned red. His teeth chattered as he said, "Make a fire!"

Lin Manluo immediately summoned the green tree. Her tree is now level 2. The trunk is as thick as an adult's arm, with lush branches and green trees. Staying under the tree, the air around her suddenly feels fresh. many.

Liu Zhaoqing quickly took out the chainsaw tree trunk and sawed it off as wood, and Xin Yan lit the wood with an alcohol lamp.

The biting cold wind was blowing in the head, and the ignition speed of the alcohol lamp was too slow. Xin Yan simply smashed two alcohol lamps, and the alcohol was sprinkled on the wood to help burn, and the wood was successfully ignited.

The burning wood radiated heat, and everyone came running, extending their arms around the fire.

However this helped.

Imagine the coldest winter in the north, what's the use of wearing short sleeves and going outside for a fire? The clothes on his body are too thin, the surrounding temperature is so low, and the cold wind is constant, so it is impossible to keep warm.

Liu Zhaoqing resisted the urge to curse, and said tremblingly, "Can you dig a base? We stay in a room with walls, it's better than blowing the wind outside? This cold wind blows my soul out of my body. ."

No matter how cold it is, there are still down jackets to wear. Now it's easy. In the winter, they wear short sleeves that are so ripped. What is the difference between them and the "naked"-run in the snow?

Zhang Xiaonian looked at Qin Lu: "I'm not sure if I can dig the foundation, so it's all on the ground. This is the ice layer. If there is water under the ice layer, I can't build an underground castle."

Qin Zunlu glanced into the distance and frowned: "I remember that during the Quaternary Great Ice Age, about one-third of the earth's land was covered under an ice layer more than 200 meters thick. layer, the thickness is likely to exceed more than 200 meters."

A 33-storey building is only more than 100 meters high, and the ice layer more than 200 meters thick is too scary!

Zhang Xiaonian said with a bitter face: "My excavator can't dig the ice layer more than 200 meters thick. I have to find normal land to build the base. However, it looks like a white glacier. Where can we find it? land?"

Lan Yarong's analysis: "'Lu' and 'Lu' said that one-third of the earth's land is covered by glaciers, and the remaining two-thirds are animals that survive, right? We only find animals, Can follow the vine and "touch" the melon to find the land."

Qin Lu nodded: "That's it. Except for very few animals that can survive on ice, there are many beasts that lived on land in the Ice Age. If we want to survive, we must find land."

However, where should the glaciers go?

Yue Xingwen: "Ignite the fire with wood. Even if we stay by the fire, we can't last for long. If we go the wrong way, we are likely to get frostbite halfway, or even freeze to death."

Humans are the least cold-resistant animals. The evolution of human beings has made them lose their fur and "fur" and use external tools such as "clothes" to resist the cold. They are now wearing short sleeves and walking on a hospital bed at minus 30 degrees. , Yue Xingwen's "frost burn, freeze to death" is not an exaggeration.

Maybe you can hold on for a few minutes and a half, but what is wrong? With such a large area of ​​​​glaciers, there is not even a single reference point around, and they are very likely to "get lost".

Jiang Pingce was silent for a moment, and said, "But staying in place is just slow death. It is daytime, and the temperature is minus 30 degrees below zero. Once the temperature drops at night, let's not say we live for 10 days, we may all be dead. I can't survive today."

Everyone fell silent.

The cold temperature made most of them shiver and sneezed constantly. Some of them started to runny nose uncontrollably. Their big brains seemed to be numb from the freezing, and their thinking became rigid.

Right here, Qin Lu suddenly said: "I have an idea, the center of the Quaternary Ice Age was in the great ice sheets of the Americas and Eurasia.Glacier cover, we go southeast and we should find normal land without glaciers."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly had a goal.

Liu Zhaoqing: "It's good to be sure! It's just, southeast, how to position it?"

Qin "Lu" took out the globe and said, "My globe can locate the latitude and longitude. Let me take a look."

Every time she used the plate transposition skill, a square icon would appear, and the globe suspended in Qin Lu really started to rotate. Soon, she determined the southeast direction, "Go over there."

Yue Xingwen stood up immediately: "Hurry up, all kinds of displacement skills are used, and when it gets dark, we must find land and build a base to prevent cold. We can't spend the night on this ice, it's too cold at night, we will definitely be caughtFrostbite!"
