Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 222
By the time Chen Xuan finished his farm work, it was already evening.

It's time to eat, but because of the severe cold, he can't go outside now, so he can only cook indoors by lighting a fire.

In order to keep the bedroom clean and tidy, Chen Xuan divided an area in the cabin, which is specially used as the kitchen and dining room, and there is an "environmental regulation module", so the oily smoke is not a problem.

Setting up a fire, Chen Xuan roasted two crab legs for himself to fill his stomach. The fragrant and fresh crab meat was indeed a pleasure to eat.

It's just that the energy contained in the crab meat no longer gave him the feeling of evolution.

After entering the third level of [Physique], the speed of body cell mutation becomes very slow. No matter what he eats or how much he eats, he does not feel as hot as before.

It can be said that Chen Xuan's current upgrade has entered a predicament.

However, he has no clue at the moment.

Chen Xuan even had some doubts. Could it be that he has reached the end of evolution?
It's a pity that this is an unknown road, and no one can give him an answer.

After eating the crab meat, Chen Xuan wiped the oil from his mouth, and took out a bottle of red wine from the cabin.

The red wine had been refrigerated at a low temperature outside before in the cabin, and now it still has a hint of coolness. In the mouth, the bright and slightly sour red wine escapes on the tip of the tongue, and the taste is better than before.

Crab meat paired with red wine, this taste is simply better than living gods.

Satisfied with food and drink, Chen Xuan sat in the driver's seat, holding unfinished red wine, watching the dim yellow sunset outside gradually sinking in front of his eyes, and those huge snow-white and dazzling ice floes were also rendered by the afterglow of the setting sun. golden.

He was thinking, what should he do next?
Now the material space and the "oil" in the fuel tank add up to a total of 365 units.
The numbers are pretty neat, and it happens to be the time of year.

"Kunpeng" will consume 5 units of fuel every hour it is driven, and this consumption will double if it is at full speed.

In order to maintain the "environmental adjustment module", 1 unit of "oil" will be consumed every two hours. In this way, he has to pay an additional 12 units of "oil" every day.

Even if he sailed non-stop around the clock, he could only last for less than three days. According to the current speed, he could probably sail four to five thousand kilometers away.

It's just that this is an ideal state, and there will be various resistance factors if the road is not in order.

Now that the situation is unclear, Chen Xuan decided to go south first.

After all, according to experience, the south is generally warmer.

Unless he has now accidentally ran to the southern hemisphere.

Then he can only imitate those navigators and make a trip around the world.

But this premise is that his fuel must be sufficient.

The sun finally set completely before our eyes, and the clear light of the moon filled the entire room through the windshield of the cab.

Although Chen Xuan can use the "environment adjustment module" to make the room as bright as daytime, but in order to save fuel consumption, he cannot do so.

Saying good night to the moon in the sky, Chen Xuan lay back on the wooden bed to rest.

Tomorrow, he will officially start a new adventure.

……

"The scenery of the northern country is frozen for thousands of miles, and snow drifts for thousands of miles."

At this moment, Chen Xuan drove the "Kunpeng" through ice floes of different sizes and shapes.

He has been sailing in this icy and snowy land for nearly half a day. During this half day, there is nothing in his field of vision except the snow-white floes and the deep blue sea water.

And I don't know if it's because the temperature is too low, even the speed of the propeller has slowed down a lot.

The sun in the snow is not harsh, but it is very dazzling. The bright light makes people dizzy, and the scenery in front of them has not changed for thousands of years. Driving under such conditions for a long time, Chen Xuan can't help feeling a little sleepy.

He could only relieve his fatigue by looking at the ice floe in front of him.

Among these ice floes, some of the ice floes were too large to become icebergs, some of the ice floes were flat and wide, and became a floating board, and most of them were ice cubes that looked like a small car.

The temperature of the seawater here is extremely low. If there are no foreign objects, the seawater looks like ordinary water, but if there are foreign objects on the surface of the water, the water in the sea will flow upstream and wrap them, forming ice floes.

If Chen Xuan hadn't activated the "environment regulation module", he might have become part of these ice floes.

Even so, he still needs to operate the spikes on the surface of the hull from time to time to make it roll to clean up the ice crystals on the surface of the hull.

And through these ice floes, some strange things can be vaguely seen.

Some were fish, looking at their posture, it seemed that they had just jumped out of the water, but before these fish had time to fall back to the water, they were frozen in the air and formed an ice floe.

Some seem to be human buildings in the past. Ice blocks were wrapped and frozen all the way up from a very deep place, forming an iceberg. If it wasn't because the ice layer was too thick and he couldn't get out, Chen Xuan really wanted to go in and explore the way.

Others were marine debris, broken furniture and metalwork, all encased in a thick wall of ice.

Now, it is really not easy to collect drifting items on the water surface. Considering the time-consuming and labor-intensive efforts, Chen Xuan usually will not stop the boat to dig these floating ice.

But there are exceptions.

At this time, the "Kunpeng" was passing by a piece of ice floe, which was not too big or small, and its size was almost a wardrobe.

Chen Xuan stopped the boat, and with a thought, he controlled the racket and chiseled it one by one. The crab claws had been replaced by him, and now the racket was crab legs like a switch knife.

"click, click"

Countless shards of ice splashed, and the ice floe was divided into several small pieces, exposing a huge tuna among them.

Nets are then cast out from the sides of the hull, transporting the tuna back to the hold.

Such a tuna should be able to extract a lot of oil.

In his eyes, this is not food, but fuel.

As for the broken ice cubes, Chen Xuan didn't waste them either, and he fished them back into the cabin to be melted for later use.

Because the impurities in the water will be squeezed out when the water freezes, these ice cubes are relatively pure, and the water quality after melting is also relatively clear, which can be eaten directly, saving Chen Xuan's efforts to filter and purify.

It's a pity that Chen Xuan hasn't seen any creatures with fur, otherwise he could make a set of cold-proof clothing.

Staying in a boat is nice, but not being able to get out is always a big problem.

It was noon, and Chen Xuan felt a little sleepy after long-term monotonous driving.

Although it is not on the road now, and there is no constant flow of vehicles, it is still possible to deviate from the waterway when you are asleep. Besides, there are so many icebergs, and it is not good to hit them.

He was going to take a little rest and recover.

However, at this time, a huge roar came from a distance!
