For the polar regions, the nights get shorter the further north you go in summer, but this quickly changes to the opposite.
Because summer is coming to an end.
Of course, the difference is not very big now. The nights will only become longer as we go further north in late winter.
Except that the revolution period of this world is shorter than that of the earth, there are basically no differences in other things. At most, the tilt angle of rotation is slightly different. As a result, the Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle will be smaller.
But the geographical phenomena of extreme day and extreme night are still similar.
At the North Pole, half of the year is full of daylight, and half of the time is full of nighttime. It was obviously unlikely that they would reach the Pole before the end of the summer. So be prepared for a long night.
"The insulation stone needs to be injected with energy. Now it seems that it can last another three days." Wu Hui used his glasses to scan the spherical machine in his hand: "There must be energy that can be obtained in this snowfield."
Ren Yin: "The question is where is this energy source?"
"Well... stop for a moment." Wu Hui suddenly stopped the sled, got out of the car and checked on the snow: "There is a section of railway track here."
"It's very likely that you'll come across a station along the railway tracks, and then you can get something from an abandoned locomotive or station." Ren Yin seemed very happy.
"Not bad." Wu Hui nodded, returned to the sled and quickly moved forward along the track.
As luck would have it, we soon found an abandoned carriage on the tracks. Wu Hui looked at the time and saw that the sun was going down. He would take a nap in the carriage tonight and take a look at what goods were being transported inside.
The car has been weathered and has various scratches and holes through it. There are some mechanical parts scattered among them. Ren Yin pushed the glasses, seemed to have a strong interest in them, and began to study these parts. Wu Hui took down the iron stove and iron pot from the sled to make soup.
The snow melts and becomes scalding hot. The fish meat was thrown in and simmered while Wu Hui skewered the venison with tree branches and started grilling it.
Still the same reason, no salt and no seasoning. The taste is actually quite average. Those diners who pursue the original taste without seasoning will definitely not be able to bear it if they eat it like this often.
Wang Xiaodie went outside to explore the way. In fact, it stands to reason that areas with human activities should always have some special resources, otherwise who would come to the Arctic to build a railway if they were full.
Well, maybe this group of people came here to avoid some kind of disaster. But even so, their gathering place should have some resources such as firewood mines and land for farming.
How to grow crops in the Arctic environment? We can't just rely on hunting. I guess there is some black technology in energy, and then we can do greenhouse cultivation.
If human remains can be found, there will be no shortage of salt, food, and various tools.
"Have you done any research?" Wu Hui asked Ren Yin who took away his glasses while cooking soup and barbecue. Many of the parts here are frozen together with the carriage, and it is actually quite troublesome to remove them.
"Yes, yes." Ren Yin nodded: "These parts are somewhat similar to your rune technology. The metal parts are strengthened with some marks, and then they can be combined into something special."
"In addition, many runes require special external power to drive, which consumes a lot of energy. It is estimated that they were created by a force with no shortage of energy."
After listening to Ren Yin's analysis, Wu Hui nodded to express his understanding. Whether it's nuclear fusion or some extraordinary technology that relies on imprints, it won't be too different for them. The combat effectiveness of the three of them is still very weak now. They have no problem dealing with wild beasts, but have problems dealing with seal beasts. It would be much better if we could go to human ruins to pick up some weapons and equipment.
I also hope that those weapons and equipment will not be damaged because they have been left for too long without maintenance.
Wang Xiaodie went out to explore and came back with a rabbit. But their food is sufficient and they don't need this at all.
Of course, the presence of rabbits around proved that there was no terrible danger near the carriage.
Wu Hui took the glasses back, and the three of them hugged each other and fell asleep again. Wang Xiaodie was very helpless and tried to reach out, but Wu Hui and Ren Yin jointly stopped her.
"Let me touch it and it won't make you smaller..." Wang Xiaodie
I mumbled to sleep.
Ren Yin: "It won't get smaller, it will get bigger. Sleep well."
It can be said that she and Wu Hui had exactly the same thoughts at this time. They are unwilling to engage in any recreational activities under possible dangerous circumstances. Sleeping well and ensuring rest is more important than anything else.
And it's such a cold day, why are you doing this?
Entering the fourth day of the game, the three of them walked along the railway track. Before the sled ran out of energy, they came to a mechanical city buried in wind and snow.
Although it is said to be a mechanical city, it is obviously not a futuristic sci-fi style, but a steampunk style.
There is nothing to hesitate, no matter whether there is any big danger, we must go in now. Ren Yin held a sniper rifle, Wang Xiaodie held a red flame knife, but Wu Hui only had a tool shovel and a spear made of broken iron sheets, which was very shabby.
So he is in the middle, Wang Xiaodie is in front, and Ren Yin is in the back. The three of them walked through the city buried in ice and snow at a not too fast speed.
Ren Yin took off her long-sighted glasses. She didn't have many bullets in her sniper rifle. One was also used to kill the reindeer. Now I also hope to find some other weapons.
"Hush, something is coming." Wu Hui warned the two girls of danger while taking the initiative to hide in the corner.
The two girls quickly followed him and hid against the wall.
A rusty mechanical spider with many gears turning on its body walked past them. A faint glow of light can be seen beneath the spider's shell.
It seems to be similar to their sleds and insulation stones.
"Probably to kill this mechanical beast, we can pick up some cores as energy." Wu Hui scanned a lot of things: "But with our current physics, it is difficult to do this."
Wang Xiaodie: "Let's look through the houses in this city first. Maybe there's salt, sugar, etc."
The current temperature is minus 10 degrees Celsius, and it will be about minus 20 degrees Celsius at night. It's getting very cold. Don’t look at the jokes on the Internet that say the south is colder than the north. But that's because there is heating indoors. If you go outside, at temperatures of tens of degrees below zero, it will kill people. The temperatures in the Arctic Circle are even more terrifying.
Wu Hui is sure that there must be a heating system in such a city. Otherwise, half of the people would freeze to death every winter.
Well, unless people here have some special anti-freeze skills. Maybe like the desert, this group of people will transform into another state of life, or maybe the main body of civilization here is not humans but seal beasts like the rainforest tribes.
