Chapter 118 Building A City In Half A Day (Part 1)
Everyone looked at the clear water in Li Fan's hand blankly, and asked suspiciously, "Shui, are you sure you're not joking."
Li Fan grinned and beckoned everyone to follow him out.
Although there was no wind and snow at this time, the temperature outside the house was still terribly low. Some people who were not strong enough could only hide in the windows of the room and watch.
Everyone's curiosity was pulled to the maximum at this time, after all, in their eyes, it is really incredible to build a city with water.
Outside the house, Li Fan took out his own interspatial ring. He rubbed the interspatial ring with his hand, and the next moment a ball of clear water suddenly appeared out of thin air.
The clear water fell instantly, but before it hit the ground, it quickly solidified in mid-air. The moment it hit the ground, the original clear water had turned into an oval-shaped ice cube.
Li Fan waited for a few more seconds until the low temperature made the ice hard enough, and then he picked up the lump of ice.
Li Fan threw the ice cube towards Dozina.
After Dozina took it, she looked at Li Fan puzzled.
Li Fan pointed to the ice cubes in Dozina's water and said: "A ball of water can be turned into a piece of ice. If it is a big ball of water, it can be turned into a big ball of ice. If we have a city wall with as many water, then..."
Dozina instantly realized, "Then it can be turned into an ice wall like a city wall, and there is a lot of water in this valley, all the snow on the ground can be turned into water, as long as we collect the snow and turn it into water, we... We may really be able to build a city in half a day."
As she said that, Dozina couldn't help but get excited. At this moment, she felt that what Li Fan said was completely feasible. Although the city to be built in the end would be a winter-only city, it would not hinder her from being brought by this whimsical idea. shocked.
After Dozina was excited for a while, she suddenly remembered a very important question.
She asked Li Fan, "Although building a city with water can be completed quickly, can this kind of city built with ice really be able to withstand the attack of monsters?"
The ultimate purpose of their building the city is to resist the monsters. If they can't stop the attack of the monsters, there is no point in building the city as quickly as possible.
Seeing this, Li Fan had no choice but to give these natives a good physics lesson.
"After water condenses into ice, the hardness of the ice cube is closely related to the temperature. The lower the temperature, the harder the ice cube will be."
This is exactly the opposite of metal, which becomes more brittle when the temperature is lower, so when Li Fan had a lot of iron, he never considered using iron to build a house.
Faced with this characteristic of ice, now is undoubtedly the best time. In the Year of God's Retribution, the temperature in the whole world is frighteningly low.
Even though today is God's Love Day, Li Fan felt that the temperature outside the house had dropped below -50 degrees.
At this temperature, the hardness of ice cubes has reached a Mohs hardness of 6, which is harder than steel in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
In addition, there is another advantage of using ice blocks to build a city. After the God's Love Day passes and the wind and snow hit, the walls built with ice blocks will not only not break, but will only become thicker and thicker under the wind and snow. It is getting stronger and stronger, and it can be said that there is no better city wall than ice.
After Li Fan told this to everyone, although Dozina and the others didn't understand some, they finally no longer doubted the defensive power of ice cubes.
Everyone became extremely excited at this moment. They were in a hopeless situation, but they found a solution in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Li Fan with admiration in their eyes.
Then everyone couldn't wait to start building an ice city around the house.
Seeing these excited people, Li Fan hurriedly stopped them, "Stop, stop, are you going to build an ice city here?"
Everyone looked at Li Fan suspiciously.
At this moment, the naive Tietou asked: "Master, if we don't build it here, where should we build it?"
Only then did Li Fan realize that what he said just now had misunderstood these guys.
Li Fan asked back: "If we really build the ice city here, what if the monsters find our tracks and surround the ice city?"
Everyone was taken aback by this statement, and seemed to be aware of it.
correct! The goal of Ice City is too big. Once it is discovered by monsters, it will soon attract a large number of monsters. Sooner or later, more and more monsters will break through.
Among other things, after the beast horde came, Ice City would definitely not be able to hold on.
Seeing that the excitement on everyone's faces was slowly turning into despair, Li Fan hurriedly continued: "So the city we want to build must not only be able to protect us, but also isolate our tracks so that monsters cannot find us."
"Oh, don't be foolish, just tell me how to do it. We've already gotten used to it. We'll do what you say. Isn't that all right?" Gu Li said irritably.
Li Fan looked at the big guy speechlessly, it was rare to think of a good way, why not let him pretend to be aggressive?
Seeing that everyone was very impatient and there was not much time left for God's Love Day, Li Fan sighed and had no choice but to tell his plan.
"I'm not going to build an ice city on the hillside, but I'm going to build the entire valley into a city."
Then Li Fan explained, "The valley we are in is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and there is only one exit. As long as we seal the exit with an ice wall, we will investigate the three cliffs to see if there are any loopholes. The loophole, wouldn't the whole valley become a natural city? This city can not only protect us, but because of the isolation of the cliff, the monsters outside the valley can't even find our traces. Even if the beast tide happens, we won't suffer any harm attack."
Everyone was taken aback again.
That's right, this method is not only safer, but also countless times less difficult. It only needs to seal the mouth of the valley with ice, not to mention half a day, three or four hours is enough to complete it, why didn't they expect it?
After hearing this, everyone hurriedly started to act again.
Now Li Fan and the others have a total of 276 people. Among them, there are 8 powerhouses above level 2 and 51 dwarves at level 1 who can be active in the Sunrise of God's Love. The rest can only stay in the house.
Li Fan simply assigned tasks, and the 59 people outside the house began to collect snow. Fortunately, the snow that was cleared before was pushed down the hillside, and it could be collected halfway up the mountain. Soon a large amount of snow was sent into the inside the house.
Inside the house, the remaining 217 are all set up with pots and fires to melt the snow into water.
Just when the first batch of snow water was put into the bucket and was about to be transported to the mouth of the valley, Li Fan and the others found that the snow water in the bucket had frozen just as they stepped out of the door.
Then everyone suddenly realized a problem. They couldn't send water to the mouth of the valley at all, and it would freeze into ice before sending it over.
The idea of melting the snow directly at the mouth of the valley was quickly rejected. The temperature outside the house was too low to even light a fire without being inside.
Li Fan even tried to build a igloo, but without measures such as double walls, it was still very difficult to light a fire in the igloo.
Moreover, although the mouth of the valley is only ten meters wide, at least 50 tons of water are needed to completely seal the mouth of the valley.
If you want to get so much water in the igloo, you can't do it with only 59 people outside.
