Chapter 489 Improving Strength (4600 words)

After the intense heat, the first night fell.

Compared to cold winter nights, hot summer nights are even more difficult to survive, although the temperature is much lower than during the day.

After all, survivors in the cold winter can burn fireplaces to keep warm, so as long as there are no other dangers, they can have a good sleep comfortably.

But today's night is different.

Who can sleep comfortably in a temperature of around 40 degrees?

You should know that on Earth, even if the temperature reaches more than 40 degrees on a certain day, it will only arrive at noon and after noon. Most of the time it will drop to more than 30 degrees at night, and even lower in some areas where the temperature difference between day and night is large.

Therefore, most nights are actually not that hot, and you can sleep relatively peacefully even without air conditioning.

But it's different now.

The current situation is that it is close to 60 degrees in the afternoon and around 40 degrees at night!

The temperature at night is almost the same as the hot midday on Earth!

This directly makes most people go crazy from the heat!

"Why is it so hot at night..."

"Isn't the sun already going down?"

"I'm really going crazy!"

"Oh my god, can anyone help me? I'm so hot..."

"How can I help you, boss? Can you run to your tree house and give you a fan?"

"Big brother, come and install the air conditioner for me..."

"Are you crazy about the heat?"

"I feel like I'm going to die tonight...I've persisted until now..."

The Explorer's saltpeter refrigeration ability has not yet spread, and these people don't know it yet. The people on the Explorer side are happily chatting, playing cards and mahjong in the cool tree house.

After all, those who enjoy saltpeter refrigeration and the "constant temperature" ability of the tree house now have no way to contact the outside world, so naturally this news cannot be leaked.

Xu Xin and the others had no intention of leaking the news.

They don't have the ability to help others right now.

Not even the people in Area 188 could help this time, let alone the survivors in other areas.

Therefore, don't let them know that you are so comfortable here.

"Oh, it's so comfortable in the room." Li Wenxi lay on the sofa and didn't want to move.

She just came back not long ago.

Just now I was excited to dig for copper, but as soon as I got to the sofa I didn’t want to move.

"By the way, so far today, I have just mastered three pieces of purple-level meteorite iron. I'll give them to you."

Li Wenxi sat up, took out the meteorite ore from his backpack and placed it on the table.

Three pieces of purple grade meteorite.

"So fast?" Xu Xin raised his eyebrows and put away the meteorite.

"Well, the smelting of meteorite ore does take a long time, so I used three furnaces to refine the meteorite." Li Wenxi lay back on the sofa again and said lazily, "So I got three pieces. From now on, it will be about the same every day.

Just this amount, after all, other furnaces are used to smelt other metals."

really.

Steel blocks, iron blocks, and copper that they can now mine in large quantities.

These all need to be smelted.

Moreover, there has indeed been a lot of consumption recently, and Li Wenxi's smelting room has never stopped at all.

Fortunately, the intense heat has little effect on the smelting chamber.

Xu Xin contacted other members of the Explorer team and found that they had not encountered anything else.

Xu Xin simply told them that there was a giant beast attacking him, but he was able to fight it off, and told them to be careful.

Zhao Xiaochuan: "What? Real or fake, giant beast attacking?!"

Wang Lei: "Has the giant anaconda in the fox lake next to your tree house escaped again, Brother Xin?"

Xu Xin: "No, it's a blood-striped troll. Fortunately, I have driven it away, and..."

He told them everything about the current situation.

Ji Chaoyang: "So that's the case. No wonder the voices from your side were transmitted to my side."

Wen Guixin: "You actually have such a powerful heavy crossbow? When will you give us one too?"

Wen Guixin's ability is not yet able to deal with giant beasts, so if there is an invasion by giant beasts, she and the survivors parasitizing her will have to rely more on heavy crossbows to fight against them.

Li Wenxi: "Oh, we don't have enough materials now, and with the current weather, we can't dig in iron mines. When resources become abundant in the future, I will give you one more. Xu Xin's is mainly used for this."

Against that giant anaconda."

Others didn't have any opinions.

After all, the heavy crossbow was developed by Xu Xin's Ma Hongwei, and the resources were obtained through Li Wenxi's ability.

Xu Xin: "Everyone, please be careful tonight. Although what happened to me was an accident, it does not mean that there is no danger. No one can tell the situation on the first day of the hot summer."

Ji Chaoyang: "Indeed, I have reminded everyone in District 188 not to think about going out just because the temperature has dropped tonight."

Qi Xuefei: "I have something to tell you. My medicinal cultivation has been temporarily suspended."

Cultivation of medicinal materials has been suspended?

"Ah?" Li Wenxi sat next to Xu Xin and said in surprise, "Aborted? I gave Sister Xue Fei a lot of saltpeter, isn't it okay?"

Qi Xuefei explained.

She tried using blue saltpeter for refrigeration, but...

Medicinal materials require a relatively balanced temperature, but with blue saltpeter, the temperature cannot be controlled evenly.

At noon, the temperature is suitable near the saltpeter ice basin, but if you move a little further away, the temperature will rise very seriously, so I am afraid it will take more than a dozen pieces of blue-grade saltpeter to barely maintain growth.

Moreover, blue-grade saltpeter is consumed very quickly in an environment of 50 to 60 degrees Celsius, which requires someone to replace a new batch every one or two hours, and then take the previous batch to dry for next use.

This is actually not very troublesome, but the more troublesome thing is that this is only available at noon.

The temperature at night is another story.

When the temperature drops at night, the effect of saltpeter will be greater, which will cause the temperature of the medicinal material cultivation room to drop greatly, so it is necessary to control the amount of saltpeter.

After all, saltpeter is not an air conditioner and cannot maintain a constant temperature.

In addition, the temperature changes in the next few days are also uncertain. I am afraid that the temperature will change further, which will be even more troublesome.

Therefore, Qi Xuefei and those parasitic people on her side temporarily gave up cultivating.

Anyway, the medicine in her hand, as long as it is not released to other areas, will be enough for everyone in District 188 for a long time, which is completely enough.

Just like this, people in other areas will feel uncomfortable.

Qi Xuefei has now suspended the release of medicines to areas other than Area 188 and Area 1. Even for Area 1, the supply has been greatly reduced in the alliance trading channel.

Now, people on the World Channel are already wailing.

After all, the prices of low-level treatment drugs sold by Qi Xuefei have become more and more reasonable, and normal people can afford to buy one.

But now, it is no longer available.

It is still in this hot summer period, when it is very easy to get heatstroke due to high temperatures, and medicine is not available.

Xu Xin shook his head.

Nowadays, it is really difficult for people in other districts.

I hope they won't be too miserable. Now they really don't care about the people in the outer districts.

After ending the conversation with the explorers, Xu Xin called over Lou Fei'er, Ma Hongwei, Jin Yue, and Zeng Tao, who was mingling with other survivors below.

"What's wrong, what are you asking me to do? Ah, Wen Xi, you're here too." Zeng Tao came up first, and sat down on the sofa, next to Li Wenxi.

"Let's wait until they arrive."

Soon, several people came over.

Xu Xin wanted to call Qin Fu out of the second bedroom, but he was obviously in a deep sleep and lacked energy, so he thought about it and let it go.

Let him continue to rest.

"Why did you call them all here?" Li Wenxi was also a little confused and tugged on Xu Xin's clothes, "You don't want to go out at night for what? Didn't you say it's very dangerous?"

"Of course not." Xu Xin smiled, and then looked at the other people, "I called you here this time because I want to improve your strength."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of troll meat and placed it on the table.
