There are still more than six months left before the snow star begins spring.
This means that the end of winter is coming, and the most terrifying dark moment has quietly arrived.
Those tribes that did not collect enough supplies and food during the summer are beginning to have a hard time now.
Soon, a new madman will appear on Snow Star.
Birth rate, death rate, madman evolution rate...
Relatively speaking, the tribes on Snow Star are currently working hard to increase the birth rate. After all, these are the foundation of mankind. However, because small tribes have to migrate all year round, it is still difficult to keep the birth rate stable.
After coming out of the conference room, Ye Qiong went directly back to his room in the tribe, which was the laboratory. At night, a beautiful figure appeared in the laboratory.
It is rare for Ye Qiong to come back to the central tribe, so if you can stay a little longer, you can still stay a little longer. However, Tang Ying also knows her own sense of proportion. Even when she is with Ye Qiong, she will not keep chasing Ye Qiong. , which will leave Ye Qiong a lot of independent space and time.
In the laboratory, Ye Qiong is studying the river channel reconstruction plan above the waterfall base.
Tang Ying takes care of some plants in the laboratory every day.
There are currently no conditions for building a greenhouse.
However, some plants in the greenhouse are growing tenaciously in Ye Qiong's laboratory.
In winter, after a snowstorm comes, the light from stars is relatively scarce. During the day, there is only light refracted from the ground.
It can only keep the plants in the greenhouse alive, but it is obviously not enough to grow.
When Ye Qiong was away, Tang Ying was maintaining the laboratory, and some long-term experimental data also needed to be recorded.
The most important thing is to keep the temperature in the laboratory above zero. Otherwise, the plants will definitely be frozen to death. It can be lower than zero, but it must not be below zero.
So at this time, the value of the wooden barrel grease lamp is reflected. The function of this thing is definitely not just as simple as providing a light source.
There is also a very important function, that is, heating.
On Earth, during the Arctic night, when the Inuit people faced a snowstorm, they would light candles or animal fat in snow caves.
The heat emitted by just a few small flames is enough to raise the temperature inside the snow cave a lot.
In Ye Qiong's laboratory, a total of three grease lamps were lit. During the snowstorm a few days ago, five were lit.
The soldiers are responsible for the grease lamp. After all, this thing must be strictly guarded. If the grease lamp goes out, the plants in the experiment will wither after a short time.
Another point is to guard against fires. The tribe is still very quiet in winter, but wherever humans settle, several small beasts with extremely adaptable abilities will magically be attracted.
There are not many in number. They feed on food stored by humans. They are very capable of digging holes, a bit like mice, but most of them have no tails and have extremely long limbs.
This little beast is very curious and cautious. It is very difficult for humans to catch them. Therefore, even in late winter when food is scarce, this little beast is not within the hunting range of humans.
To catch one, it takes too much time, energy and cost.
After entering Ye Qiong's laboratory, you can immediately feel a warmth coming over you.
In such a cold winter, if the indoor temperature can be kept above zero, for the adult men in the tribe, wearing an animal skin vest is enough to keep them warm.
If you continue to use coal for heating, you can just go shirtless.
I don’t know how the excavation of the river above the waterfall base is going, and the snowstorm will definitely slow down the progress.
But now there is good news, that is, with the addition of the Heifu tribe this time, the tribe's military strength has been immediately raised to a higher level.
The next time Ye Qiong goes to the waterfall base, he can continue to bring a small force to support him.
With the new troops, the speed of river excavation will naturally increase to a higher level!
At noon the next day, Ye Qiong called Dadai over. After riding on Dadai, he went straight to the cave defense line.
It's been a while since I've been there to see what's going on at the cave defense line. Ye Qiong had already heard about it at the meeting, but he still planned to go and see it in person.
After all, for the central tribe, as long as the eyeless monsters still emerge from the cave, they will always be a threat.
However, while it is a threat, there are also some benefits. For example, although human warriors don't like to eat the meat of the eyeless monster, there is still no problem in feeding it to the snow-covered demon wolves.
There is also the cave defense line, which now belongs to a tribe's actual combat training ground. On sunny days, Ye Tianling will organize a wave of younger soldiers every month to come here to participate in actual combat.
This will be beneficial to the strength growth of tribal warriors in the long run.
Actual combat can effectively stimulate the desire for strength among the young warriors of the tribe.
Sweat more during normal times and bleed less during war.
After Ye Qiong arrived at the cave defense line, Ronling quickly came up with a few soldiers.
During the last snowstorm, due to the terrain of the cave, the soldiers stationed here were quite miserable.
The cave is under the peak outside the Dinglong Mountains. When a snowstorm comes, the wind is not too strong, but there is more snow blowing along the way.
They gathered together and almost buried the stone defense line on this side of the cave defense line.
A lot of snow also gathered inside the cave. When the blizzard stopped in front, the entrance to the cave disappeared and was completely buried by the blizzard.
The soldiers couldn't get in, and the eyeless monster inside couldn't get out either.
The strong wind blew the snow deep into the cave, and the temperature inside should have dropped a lot.
After the blizzard stopped, there was movement in the cave, and the eyeless monsters began to dig inside.
Now two holes have been dug out, with a diameter of about 1.5 meters, which look quite interesting.
Compared with the huge cave entrance that is more than ten meters high, the two small snow caves feel a bit cute. From time to time, a few first-level eyeless monsters emerge from them.
If you can't go far, you will be shot with arrows by the soldiers on the stone defense line.
The stone defense line, which is guarded around the clock, has now expanded a lot in scale.
The daily task of the soldiers under the defense line is to constantly expand and expand...
At this point, it can be expanded endlessly. After all, the safety of the central tribe must be guaranteed. No one knows what kind of creatures will emerge from the cave in the future.
