Chapter 374 Winter

More than a month later.

When Huai Shi opened her eyes, she felt a discomfort in her nostrils. She exhaled hard twice, and then she felt the foreign object in her nasal cavity fly out and hit the ground like a cannonball.

The ice mixed with a large amount of iron filings shattered all over the place.

Immediately afterwards, a burning pain emerged from his nostrils, and the nasal mucosa, which was slightly fragile compared to the armor, was frostbitten.

He breathed out fire twice with great effort, and his stiff body finally warmed up a little. When he moved, the frozen scales made a sharp sound, and a large amount of thin frost fell on the ground, making a crisp sound of metal collision.

Huai Shi twisted her neck, feeling the crackling sound of the bones in her body, and couldn't help but sigh.

"When will this day end?"

【-190.75℃】

At Huai Shi's feet, the frozen giant thermometer still maintained the last display before his death, making Huai Shi shake his head.

Ten degrees lower again.

As he moved his body and ate a large amount of iron ore again, the temperature inside his body gradually rose, melting the thin layer of ice under his feet.

The oven-like body temperature caused a large amount of frozen moisture to turn into heat and spread, causing the kobolds wearing heavy protective clothing around them to groan in relief.

Huai Shi yawned, feeling a little sleepy that hadn't dissipated yet.

As the temperature gradually dropped, even as energetic as he was, he gradually felt sleepy a few days ago. After he couldn't stand it anymore, he took a nap.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Six hours." The person in charge of the smelting center said, "Let's get back to work. According to the production plan, we still have a gap of about 14,000 tons. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's a small thing."

Huai Shi clicked her lips and raised her head: "Put up the biggest furnace. Let's do it all at once."

"Can it be done?"

"At worst, I'll sleep for a while after I'm done."

Huai Shi waved his hand nonchalantly, and there was no sound of wind in the vacuum. Nowadays everyone can only communicate through radio when outdoors.

The giant beasts are okay and can communicate with the essence, but you have to be careful when talking to ordinary people, especially those with a tonnage like Huaishi. The essence has condensed into tens of thousands of tons of crystals in the bone marrow. When talking to others, Sometimes, if the voice is slightly louder, it is easy to describe ordinary people as vegetative.

Deified creatures are such terrifying existences for ordinary people. Even sublimators will feel a headache after chatting with Huai Shi for a long time, no matter how hard Huai Shi tries to suppress the waves of his consciousness.

Under Huai Shi's order, the engineering team worked hard to restart the production line and factory building and complete the preheating.

Since the weather has become colder and colder, the super giant metal smelting furnace that was built just a few days ago has been abandoned because it wastes too much heat and is not cost-effective. Only an existence like Huai Shi can spend a little more effort and save time, and get it right in one go.

Before opening the ceiling, Huai Shi warmed up her body, took a deep breath, and exhaled a few wisps of flames. After feeling the temperature gradually rise, she took a deep breath.

Terrifying flames spurted out, and in an instant, the furnace in front of them burned red.

Only preliminary ore smelting can use such a rough method. As long as the temperature goes up, anything can be done.

But the disadvantage brought by the weather was too much. This time, Huai Shi almost vomited until his mouth was dry before finally boiling the furnace of molten steel.

Such a young and half-grown boy actually doesn't have enough firepower.

Huai Shi fell into deep melancholy and began to reflect on whether she had been too much and her body became weak?

No, except for a slight sign of rheumatism, there is absolutely nothing wrong with me.

This damn weather is so annoying.

Since two months ago, the temperature has started to drop day by day, and now it is almost breaking through the minus 200 degrees mark, and it doesn't stop.

According to the estimates of scholars, I am afraid it will not stop until it falls to around minus 270 degrees.

By then it will be close to absolute zero - current technology can only reach this level. No, it should be said that thermodynamics has drawn this limit from the beginning in order to maintain stability to the greatest extent.

Even the heat death of the apocalypse cannot be exaggerated below 270 degrees - the areas below are meaningless even for hell.

At the very least, in the current abyss exploration, except for the talents of some creatures and the authority of the Lord of the Swarm, there is no hell environment that can reach below absolute zero.

For Huai Shi, it doesn't even need to be 270 degrees. The current temperature makes him miss his woolen pants.

"Speaking of which, what do you think about my woolen pants?"

The person in charge of the smelting center was silent for a long time and said in a complicated tone: "Fox thought you were joking... I didn't mention it again.

But his expression at that time was quite funny, it was like - you must be joking, right? Please tell me you must be joking... To be honest, I don't think it's realistic. "

"Why is it unrealistic?"

Huai Shi's eyes widened: "I have made so many contributions to the empire, why doesn't the empire even give me a pair of woolen pants?"

"...You have to be able to afford it, brother!"

The person in charge glanced at him helplessly: "Needless to say woolen trousers, knitting them for you will use up all our current storage of thermal insulation materials."

"..."

Huai Shi was silent for a long time, and suddenly said seriously: "You reminded me, I'm not wearing underpants."

"..."

"So, can you think of a way to get one done for me?"

"..."

"If boxers don't work, bullet pants will do."

"..."

"We can always discuss the 丄-shaped pants, right?"

"..."

After finally waiting for the person in charge to clean up the old blood that he had spit out through the mask, he took a few deep breaths and waved his hand to refuse righteously: "I don't think it's okay! You don't have to think it's okay, no one thinks it's okay..."

"Tsk, capitalists are indeed bloodless and tearless."

Huai Shi glanced at him with disdain, raised her hand to dig between her teeth, and then used her own ability to pull out two iron pillars that were hundreds of meters long. She held them in her two hands in front, and they felt like two Like a slender iron stick.

"...Wait a minute, what do you want to do?"

"Knitted woolen pants."

Huai Shi clasped his two hands behind him and continuously twisted a thick steel cable, rolled it together, and bundled it into a huge ball like a ball of yarn.

Two iron stick-like pillars collided together, emitting a burst of dazzling sparks in the vacuum.

Huai Shi moved her fingers a little, felt it, raised her head and asked, "Do you want to learn? I'll teach you... You don't look like you have a girlfriend. You can knit yourself a sweater later."

"No thanks!!!"

I don’t know why, but the person in charge seems very angry. Is it because he can’t learn to knit a sweater?

really weird.

Huai Shi shook his head and clicked his tongue twice, then ignored him.

I have never thought about whether these steel cable wool pants are warm or not, and how embarrassing it is to wear sled dog wool pants...

Such days of joy and hardship ended on the day when the temperature officially dropped below 200.

"Ara Oumae can't hold on any longer."

Emergency meeting, the fox brought another bad news.

As their only source of drinking water now, it can be said that Ara Gozen has been under considerable pressure. After all, it’s okay to have no electricity and no food, but being out of water is no joke.

Moreover, compared with personal use, the gap in industrial water is the largest. The large-scale smelting center in Huaishi is a big water consumer. The refining and synthesis process of some rare alloys will produce a large amount of toxic wastewater, and it cannot even be reused.

Now that there is no Ara Gozen, it is undoubtedly bad news.

"Weren't you fine the past two days?"

"With this temperature, I can't wait to pull out my own skin to make a cotton-padded jacket when I go out, let alone a jellyfish?" The fox said expressionlessly: "It's not easy to hold on until now... If I have time later, Let’s all say goodbye to her.”

.

When Huai Shi saw Huang Yuqian again, he was almost unrecognizable.

In the original impression, the coquettish jellyfish that was huge enough to cover the city was now in pieces, twitching with difficulty in the warm pool, and one could vaguely see the small organs inside it pulsing slowly, full of pain.

Even if you don't really die in Witch Night, the pain before death will never be less.

It might even be stronger.

After all, the huge size of the beast means more nerves and more accessory brains, and one part of the pain can even become two parts.

After taking the medicine, her condition finally got better. A phantom of source matter slowly rose from its body, seemingly adopting her original image, a middle-aged woman with glasses, wearing a suit, and a capable expression.

After seeing the fox and the phoenix, she nodded slowly: "You have fulfilled your mission, my friend."

Before that, she had used the last of her ability to forge a huge iceberg in the extreme cold, almost as big as Huai Shi.

The current level of purification cycles is enough to support the emergence of the next generation of industrial purifiers.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be in such bad condition.

But this action, the Phoenix and the Fox also agreed. Although it would be painful for her, before dying, it was better to recover some losses to the greatest extent while she still had energy.

"Thank you for your dedication to your duties." The fox asked, "Is there anything else we can do?"

"No need, the research that needs to be done has been done. In fact, I should have left long ago."

Huang Yuqian shook his head, and the source material slowly dissipated.

"Wish ya'll good luck."

In the warm pool, the jellyfish's body suddenly collapsed, melted, and dissipated. In the end, what emerged from her body was a green spring.

A steady stream of water flows from it.

This is the last gift she left behind. Although it is not enough to supply industry, it is completely enough to provide a clean water source for all evolved groups to drink.

After a brief silence, the fox stared at the pool and couldn't help but sigh.

“Next, we need to execute a migration plan.”

He turned back and said solemnly: "According to the map drawn by the previous satellite, we are going to find another area that still has rich geothermal heat. According to the plan, everyone starts to prepare."

The sad atmosphere was instantly dispelled, and everyone got back to their busy work again.

About a month later, the metal city shrouded in a thick layer of insulation slowly landed on Huai Shi's back, pulled by thousands of tower cranes.

Fits perfectly with the base.

And as Huai Shi slowly stood up, amidst the roar of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, the steel city on his back did not move at all, not even swaying in the slightest.

"This time you really have to become a sled dog."

Huai Shi turned around and tightened the steel cable straps fixed to his body with four hands. After moving his body a little, he tightened the rope of sadness.

Under the support of the tracks, the huge iceberg shook with a bang and slid out into the cold darkness with him.

They silently embarked on their migration.

In the place where the city used to be, only a heavy layer of frost emerged from the entrance of the underground fortifications, and there was no sound in the silence.

Only the lonely and high-hanging satellite still shone dimly, reflecting Huai Shi's back.

They drifted apart.

It seems that many friends can’t see it in the author’s comments. In fact, I am very diligent in asking for votes every month. It’s the last day, so please vote for me~
