Beasts Are Boundless

There are still more than six months left before Xue Xing starts spring.

It means that the end of winter is coming, and the most terrifying dark moment has come quietly.

Those tribes that did not gather enough supplies and food in the summer have begun to have a hard time.

Soon, a new madman on Xue Xing will appear.

Birth rate, death rate, madman evolution rate...

Relatively speaking, the tribes on Xue Xing are actually working hard to increase the birth rate. After all, these human beings are based, but because the small tribes have to migrate all the 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 is the laboratory. At night, there was a shadow in the laboratory.

It is rare for Ye Qiong to come back to the central tribe once, so if you can get tired of it for a while, you can still get tired of it for a while, but Tang Ying is also very aware of her own sense of proportion, even when she is with Ye Qiong, she will not keep pushing Ye Qiong. , will leave a lot of independent space and time for Ye Qiong.

In the laboratory, Ye Qiong is studying the river reconstruction plan above the waterfall base.

And Tang Ying is taking care of some plants in the laboratory on a daily basis.

Greenhouse, there are still no conditions to make it out.

However, some plants in the greenhouse are growing tenaciously in Ye Qiong's laboratory.

In winter, after the blizzard falls, the light of the stars is relatively rare. During the day, only the light refracted by the ground.

Only those plants in the greenhouse can be kept from dying, and 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 that the temperature in the laboratory must be kept above zero, otherwise, the plants will inevitably freeze to death, which can be lower than a few degrees above zero, but never 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.

Another very important function is heating.

On the earth, during the polar night in the Arctic, when the Inuit faced a blizzard, they would light candles or animal grease in the snow cave.

The heat emitted by just a few small flames is enough to raise the temperature in the snow cave a lot.

In Ye Qiong's laboratory, a total of three grease lamps were lit, and five were lit during the snowstorm a few days ago.

The grease lamp is the responsibility of the soldier. After all, this thing must be strictly guarded. If the grease lamp goes out, the plants in the experiment will wilt in a short time.

Another point is that it is necessary to guard against fire. The tribe is still very quiet in winter, but where there are human settlements, it will magically attract several small beasts that are very adaptable.

There are not many of them. They feed on the food stored by humans. The ability to punch holes is very powerful, a bit like mice, but most of them have no tails and have extremely long limbs.

This kind of small beast is very curious and cautious. It is very difficult for humans to catch them, so even in the late winter, when food is scarce, this kind of small beast is not within the scope of human hunting.

It takes too much time, energy and cost to catch one.

After entering Ye Qiong's laboratory, he could immediately feel a warm feeling.

In such a severe winter, if the indoor temperature can be kept above zero, for the adult men in the tribe, wearing a animal skin vest is enough to keep warm. If you continue to use coal for heating, you can also go shirtless.

Now the river above the waterfall base, I don't know how the excavation is going, the snowstorm will definitely slow down the progress.

But there is also good news now, that is, with the addition of the Heifu tribe this time, the tribe's military force has immediately improved a notch.

When Ye Qiong goes to the waterfall base next time, he can continue to bring a small army to support him.

With the new troops, the speed of river excavation will naturally take a higher level!

At noon the next day, Ye Qiong called DaoDao over, and after riding on DaoDao, he went straight to the defense line of the cave.

It's been a while since I went there to see it. What's going on with the cave defense line? Ye Qiong had already heard it at the meeting, but he still intends to go and see it in person.

After all, for the Central Tribe, as long as the Five-Eyed Monster still appears in the cave, it is always a threat.

However, while threatening, there are also some benefits. For example, although human warriors don't like to eat the meat of the Eyeless Monster, it is still no problem to feed the snowy demon wolves.

There is also the cave defense line, which now belongs to a tribe's actual combat training ground. In fine weather, Ye Tianling will organize a wave of younger soldiers every month to come here to participate in the actual combat.

This will be beneficial for the strength of the tribal warriors in the long run.

The actual combat can effectively stimulate the young warriors of the tribe, their desire for strength.

Sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime.

After Ye Qiong reached the defense line of the cave, Rong Ling quickly greeted him with a few soldiers.

In the last blizzard, due to the terrain of the cave, the soldiers stationed here were still relatively miserable.

The cave is just below the peak of the outer Dinglong Mountains. When the blizzard comes, the wind is not too strong, but there is more snow blowing along the way.

Gathering together, they almost buried the stone defense line on the side of the cave defense line.

There was also a lot of snow in the cave. When the blizzard just stopped, the entrance to the cave disappeared and was completely buried by the blizzard.

The soldiers couldn't get in, and the eyeless monsters inside couldn't get out.

The strong wind blew the snow into the depths of the cave, and the temperature inside should have dropped a lot.

After the blizzard stopped, there was movement in the cave, and those eyeless monsters began to dig inside.

Now two holes have been dug out, about one meter five in diameter, which looks quite interesting.

Compared with the entrance of the huge karst cave with a height of more than ten meters, the two small snow caves are a bit dull and cute. From time to time, a few first-level eyeless monsters burrow out of them.

Before they could go far, they would be shot and killed by the soldiers above the stone defense line with arrows.

The stone defense line, which is guarded around the clock, has also expanded a lot now.

The soldiers under the line of defense, their daily task is to keep expanding, expanding and expanding...

From this point of view, it can be expanded endlessly. After all, the safety of the central tribes must be guaranteed. No one knows what kind of creatures will emerge from the cave in the future.
