Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 235 The Real Terror of the Snow Season

What's the temperature outside now? Jiang Luoluo guessed, is it minus fifty or minus sixty?

Or perhaps an even colder temperature? Minus seventy?

It can't be as low as minus 100 degrees Celsius, can it?

It seems that carbon dioxide turns into dry ice at -78 degrees Celsius... So, when we go out later, will dry ice just fall out of our mouths when we breathe it in?

As Jiang Luoluo pondered this, she chuckled to herself.

However, Jiang Luoluo couldn't be sure if everything in this world was still operating the same way as her previous world, since this world itself contained many extraordinary powers.

It's normal for them to have the same physical changes, and it's also quite normal for them to be a little different.

Ge stuffed a lot of firewood into the tinderbox, making it larger. As the tinderbox grew bigger, Jiang Luoluo could feel the temperature inside the cave rising.

Jiang Luoluo suddenly realized that what made her feel warm was not the temperature of the flame itself, but the power from her ancestors within the fire, which had increased within the flame.

Our ancestors are protecting the tribe.

However, this would greatly increase the consumption of firewood.

Although the tribe members stored a lot of firewood around their houses or caves before the snow season arrived.

Jiang Luoluo found it difficult to be sure whether there would be enough firewood under such intense burning conditions.

No, it will definitely not be enough.

Jiang Luoluo wanted to sigh. Just how difficult was the world that the people in the tribe lived in?

Is it the same in other places?

But life doesn't stop because of Jiang Luoluo's sigh. When Jiang Luoluo returns to the warm cave, wrapped in thick animal skin, and falls asleep on a soft feather quilt.

She suddenly remembered... why hadn't she built a heated kang (a traditional heated platform bed) in the tribe? Hadn't she already prepared the bricks?

Moreover, they have already separated various metal materials and are testing the effects of weapons made from different metals. Does that mean they can also make iron pots?

Stir-frying in a stone pot is nowhere near as convenient as using an iron wok! A big iron wok makes the food taste the best!

No, we've only separated different metals, and it's not certain that there's iron in them. What if the metal used to make the pot is inedible? Wouldn't that cause metal poisoning?

Jiang Luoluo fell into a deep sleep. In her dream, all sorts of things suddenly turned into human form and ran towards her, as if they were promoting themselves, talking about their abilities and uses.

Jiang Luoluo wanted them all, but couldn't decide in which order to choose, which made her extremely anxious.

When I woke up again, it was already around 10 a.m.

“I want to go and build it there,” Jiang Luoluo said tentatively.

Ge showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

“It’s too cold outside.”

Jiang Luoluo scratched her head. Of course she knew it was cold, and it seemed that this wasn't even the coldest time yet; it would get even colder later. That's why she was thinking of seeing if there was any way to make this snowy season less cold!

At least when you're sleeping, please don't wake up from the cold again.

Seeing that Jiang Luoluo insisted, Ge had no choice but to agree.

First, they layered clothes on top of each other, making Jiang Luoluo look as thick as a bear, and then they wrapped her up completely with a large piece of animal hide.

Jiang Luoluo was like a rolled-up pork roll, completely unable to move, and couldn't even see anything except for a small opening for breathing.

Jiang Luoluo really wanted to say that Ge had wrapped her up too tightly, but she was afraid that if she didn't, Ge wouldn't agree to take her out, so she held back.

A slightly difficult stretch of road passed – Yinfeng Mountain was too big, and it was already difficult for each family to clear the snow in front of their own house, so no one was clearing the snow on the road.

The snow can be several meters high, and if you step on it, half of you might fall into the snow and it would take a lot of effort to pull yourself out.

Ge has a very strong ability to control his body. Often, he can react immediately before he sinks into the snow after stepping on it.

Even with Jiang Luoluo as a burden on him, it was still the same.

They built it in a cave in a kiln, where other members of the tribe were also present.

As soon as Jiang Luoluo crawled out of the thick animal hide, she saw a row of bedding laid out on the open ground next to her.

—In truth, this place is indeed more suitable for living than their respective caves, at least the temperature here is not afraid of the cold outside.

Jiang Luoluo thought that if her home had a stove that could maintain a temperature of over a thousand degrees all day long, she would never worry about getting cold.

Sure enough, she had only been inside for a short while when she already felt that the clothes she was wearing were a bit stuffy.

When she saw Jiang Luoluo, Zao looked at Ge with a somewhat disapproving expression, even though she knew that Jiang Luoluo must have something to do, which was why she came.

However, I strongly disagree with the idea of ​​letting cubs go out in such weather.

What if something happens outside and you're forced to stay longer, and you get frostbite?

Jiang Luoluo didn't care about anything else. She took off the extra clothes on her body and rushed to Zao's side to ask him questions.

"Hey, are those bricks still being fired? Are there many of them? Have you found anything that can replace the stone pot?"

While he was resting, he answered each question one by one.

"The bricks are still being fired, and quite a few have already been accumulated."

Jiang Luoluo had mentioned before that those bricks could be used to build houses, and the houses made from them would be more sturdy and durable than wooden houses, and would also be better able to withstand wind and rain.

So the brick kiln has been running almost non-stop.

However, later they focused more on separating various metals at the kiln, so they only left a few clansmen to be in charge of firing bricks.

"We haven't found anything that can replace the stone pot yet." Zao understood what the cub meant—the so-called replacement for the stone pot is something that is thinner, tougher, and more heat-resistant than the stone pot, and it must be non-toxic and edible.

It really doesn't.

Their primary targets were metals that were harder than Earth's rock, making weapons less prone to breakage; most of these were toxic materials unsuitable for food.

It's fine to touch it normally, and you can even use it as a kitchen knife to cut vegetables, but if you use it to cook food, you will definitely get poisoned if you eat it.

"Okay." Jiang Luoluo knew this was a matter that couldn't be rushed.

However, as long as the most important bricks are still available, it's fine. Food can be put on hold for now, since we can still use the stone pot to cook food.

The most important thing is to make the kang (heated brick bed) first!

Jiang Luoluo explained the structure and function of the kang (heated brick bed) to the builder.

Fortunately, although Jiang Luoluo had never learned about the structure of a kang (a heated brick bed), she had seen firsthand how her family and relatives built kangs when she was a child!

In fact, when she was a child, she once slept on a kang (a heated brick bed) that collapsed!
