Chapter 38 The heavy snow melts

Ye Zhou endured the burning pain in his chest and trudged forward, but the rising temperature did help his physical strength recover greatly. The body no longer needed to provide heat through extra trembling, and the muscles became flexible again. Get up, which made them move forward a lot faster.

Lin Wu has completely adapted to the sled boots on his feet. He has been maintaining a slightly faster speed than Ye Zhou, blocking him from the wind on his side and in front.

The two of them just trudged silently in the wind and snow. When Ye Zhou could barely see the outline of the sparse trees in front of him, he realized that he needed a second rest soon.

There are still 7 hours before the train departs, and his rest time is only one hour at most. Within this hour, he needs to find a balance between lowering his body temperature and recovering his physical strength.

Without shelter, you will lose body temperature quickly if you stop, but if you don't stop, your physical strength will be too much.

Ye Zhou was breathing heavily. His body temperature was still at a healthy level, but his legs were so sore that it was almost unbearable.

When he arrived at the woods, Ye Zhou could no longer hold on and fell down under a dead tree.

"Lao Ye, Lao Ye!"

Lin Wu turned around anxiously, dragged him to a position slightly leeward and sat against the tree trunk. Ye Zhou closed his eyes tightly, and the burning sensation in his lungs made him almost want to vomit.

"I'm fine. Give me some water."

Lin Wu quickly took out the water bottle from his arms and handed it to Ye Zhou. Because it was heated by the warm stone, the water inside was still hot at this point.

Ye Zhou drank a few mouthfuls of water, and after feeling himself calmer, he began to huddle up and rest.

"Old Ye, get up, you have to start walking. It's too windy here. You can't rest here!"

Lin Wu stretched out his hand to pull Ye Zhou, but Ye Zhou blocked him directly.

"No, I can't continue walking, I have to rest. Lao Lin, you also sit down and find a way to maintain your body temperature!"

Lin Wu looked at Ye Zhou's face and continued to stretch out his hand and said:

"I really can't rest here! If I fall asleep, it will be all over!"

Ye Zhou grabbed his hand helplessly. Lin Wu had to hold him back for a long time every time at this point. He admitted that Lin Wu's experience was correct, but based on his own conclusions from dozens of simulations, here Rest is the choice that maximizes benefits.

While the two were pulling, Ye Zhou accidentally hit his elbow on the tree behind him. A gap was instantly knocked out of the fragile tree trunk, and Ye Zhou's movements suddenly stagnated.

This was something he hadn't encountered in any of his previous simulations.

The trunk is actually empty.

Moreover, the wood is extremely loose.

Ye Zhou quickly got up. After twisting the fallen trunk with his hands, he found that the tree had rotted to the point of being almost powdery.

This is the best material for starting a fire.

"Old Lin, hurry up! Light the fire! Hurry!"

Ye Zhou stumbled and climbed far away, shouting excitedly to Lin Wu.

"Light a fire? Light what?"

"Light the tree on fire! Gather the branches!"

Hearing Ye Zhou's words, Lin Wu was stunned for a moment, then dug out a few sparse branches from the snowdrift, and took out matches to light a fire, but the wind in the wild was too strong, and he tried several times without success.

"Use a bullet to remove the bullet head!"

Ye Zhou quickly reminded him.

Lin Wu took out the pistol from his waist, took out the bullet from the magazine, bit the bullet with his teeth and removed it, and poured all the gunpowder on the pile of firewood.

A few seconds later, a small fire began to jump and burn in the snow, and then the flames ignited the tree trunk. Under the strong wind, the entire tree trunk burned at an alarming speed.

Sure enough, it was a dead tree that had almost lost its moisture.

Seeing the flames rising higher and higher, Lin Wu finally understood Ye Zhou's thoughts. He approached Ye Zhou, filled the kettle with snow again, and threw it away from the flames.

The heat wave was so intense that Ye Zhou also took out the warm stone and threw it over. After a while, the stone was burning and emitting white smoke. Only then did he calm down and check his skin that was burned by the warm stone - there was already heat there. Flakes of blisters.

"How's it going, Lao Ye, is it serious?"

Ye Zhou opened his clothes. Fortunately, he was protected by a thick cotton coat, and his skin did not fester like a burn. At least the skin was not directly burnt to death.

But when I was scratched by my clothes, it was still a heart-wrenching pain.

Ye Zhou grinned and tied up the innermost shirt tightly. Lin Wu also untied his clothes and followed his actions.

"Lao Ye, I found that you know quite a lot, I didn't see it before."

“It’s all experience”

Ye Zhou said with a bitter smile.

Soon, the water in the kettle was boiling hot. Lin Wu tried to pick up a few stones and handed them to Ye Zhou. Ye Zhou cooled them with snow and stuffed them into his arms. The two continued on the road, and behind them was a stone. Dead wood bathed in fire.

Ye Zhou looked back a few times with emotion. He had been in the blind spot before, using the rules of reality to restrain himself in the simulator.

In reality, setting a mountain on fire will lead to a prison sentence.

But in the simulator, it was the 1960s.

Just light a fire. As long as it doesn't cause a forest fire, who will care about you?

Ye Zhou, who had once again replenished his body temperature and stamina, walked briskly. Although the road ahead was unfamiliar, it was much easier to walk as he was gradually approaching the county town.

It only took less than 2 hours for him and Lin Wu to cross the 70% temperature loss point in Ye Zhou's previous memory and walked directly towards the last critical node of the wolf pack.

However, what Ye Zhou didn't expect was that the fire he lit had already caused a chain reaction. The wolves that were supposed to follow them were all driven back by the flames that were several meters high. They did not see any wild wolves this time. shadow.

After crossing the key node, there was less than 5 miles left from the county seat, and there were still 4 hours before the train departed. The snow on the road had also become much thinner. The two rested for half an hour again, waiting for them When he arrived at the county town, Lin Wu even had time to take Ye Zhou to an acquaintance's house in the county town for a bowl of hot porridge.

Done!

Ye Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lin Wu on the side was still bragging to his friends about how Ye Zhou, an intellectual, was determined to catch the train and how he was a genius in overcoming the extremely harsh environment along the way. But he didn't know that this The result is the optimal solution that Ye Zhou found after dozens of simulations.

The intellectual in history who was imitated by Ye Zhou had actually buried himself in the vast snowfield because of his passion.

This is a kind of heroism that is both arrogant and tragic.

What is arrogant is the stubborn thinking that man can defeat nature. What is tragic is that even though he knows that man may not be able to defeat nature, he still resolutely plays the chess piece.

Ye Zhou won, but he felt like he was not victorious.

After stepping onto the train, Ye Zhou was about to close his eyes and rest, but the surrounding environment suddenly dissipated like mist, and he returned to the void again.

[The plot simulation of the first stage of Dragon Heart ends]

[Completion: 20%]

[This simulation score: A]

[The stage ending is achieved: the snow melts for the first time]

[Reward: 40 energy points]

[Technology Award: GE-9X engine design drawing]

[Technology reward (male engineering talent): Insulation material-star rock formula]

[The staged ending can be watched]

Ye Zhou looked at the settlement page. He had already guessed that the plot simulation of Dragon's Heart would be divided into several stages, because according to the records he found, the development of aero engines actually went through several major time points. Every node has a profound impact on subsequent development.

Compared with the sense of disappointment of not being able to complete the entire plot directly, the surprise that this staged achievement reward brought to him was completely beyond his expectation.

GE-9X!

That is said to be the most powerful afterburning turbofan engine in the world, with a thrust of almost 70 tons, which is the combined thrust of the four Russian-made D-30KP-2 engines on the Yun-20!

Although it has been released in China, there has been no progress in its reverse engineering in China until now.

Obtaining the drawings of this engine is enough to raise the level of domestic aero engines to the world's advanced level.

Not to mention, there is also the formula for the legendary insulation material "star rock".

This is a material that was born in the 1980s. After several experiments to prove its authenticity, it was eventually lost. After wrapping an egg, even if it is directly sprayed with a flame of thousands of degrees, the egg will always be safe.

Its thermal insulation performance is even barely comparable to that of commonly used aerogels today.

Judging from the rewards given by the simulator, this material is actually real.

Ye Zhou looked at the words "The ending is watchable" and finally resisted the urge to exit the simulation extraction technology immediately and entered the ending playback interface.

Several large characters as thick as snow gradually emerged in the darkness.
