Chapter 1738: Why should I pay back the points I borrowed based on my ability?(1/2)
In order to avoid spilling gasoline on the wall corridor, they always put the sprayer against the buffer city wall to spray outside in summer.
After receiving Fang Jingxin's reply, Xia Tian used the torch he had prepared in advance and put it into the spray nozzle and dipped it in some gasoline.
Then the torch was lit with fire.
Snow fell on the torch, making a squeaking sound.
Gasoline is difficult to dissolve in water, and gasoline is lighter than water, so it can burn even if it is poured into water.
Xia Tian held the torch tightly, aimed at the location outside the buffer city where gasoline had just been sprayed, and threw it with all his strength.
Wuwuwu——
The torch spun in the air and fell onto the snow outside.
In an instant, the torch touched the gasoline, and a low "hissing" sound sounded,
Immediately, a burst of flames shot out from the snow and quickly spread in all directions.
The flames danced as if alive, greedily swallowing the gasoline and dyeing the snow orange-red.
The firelight illuminated the sky, casting an orange dream over the surrounding snowscape.
The blending of snow and fire, the collision of cold and heat, create an otherworldly beauty at this moment.
The snow begins to melt, and steam rises, intertwining with the flames to create a picture of movement and stillness.
The snowdrops dripped, mixed with the gasoline on the ground and quickly evaporated, making a slight sound. The flames looked brighter against the snow.
Soon, the flames spread all over the place where the gasoline was sprayed.
Under the burning of the fire, the snow below is constantly melting.
When they pushed the sprayer forward for hundreds of meters, the snow behind them had collapsed and sunk by one meter.
Snow is inherently fluffy, and the volume ratio of snow to water of the same weight can reach 10:1.
The higher the height of the snow stack, the snow on top will continue to sink due to the influence of weight pressure, compacting the snow.
And now gasoline is sprayed and the fire is lit.
The flames melt the snow, and the weight of water is much greater than that of snow.
Hua Hua Hua——
Large areas of fluffy snow are collapsing and sinking, and as time goes by, the sinking speed becomes faster and faster.
Seeing the snow level drop in summer, I breathe a sigh of relief.
He hates winter the most.
Tap tap tap——
At this moment, Fang Jingxin hurried up from below.
"How's the effect?"
As he said that, Fang Jingxin lay on the edge of the wall and looked outside.
"It's not bad. If you look at the front part, the snow has sunk a lot." Xia Tian said to Fang Jingxin.
The tank truck below and the sprayer above move forward side by side, and they must be consistent, otherwise the length of the oil pipe will not be enough.
Xia Tian looked at the upper and lower sides at the same time. Once the speed of the oil tanker below slowed down, he asked the person pushing the sprayer to also slow down and coordinate the upper and lower sides.
The sprayer does not move very fast and maintains the walking speed of a normal adult, which is about five kilometers per hour.
The buffer city wall covers an area of tens of thousands of acres and has a circumference of nearly 20,000 meters.
20 kilometers, at a speed of five kilometers an hour, it requires continuous spraying for nearly 4 hours.
The flames below continued to expand wherever the sprayer sprayed.
During these few hours, four stops were made to replace the tanker truck with oil pipes underneath.
Eighty tons of gasoline were all sprayed outside the buffer city and ignited.
Four and a half hours later, they were back where they started.
But there are still 40 tons of gasoline left.
After returning to the starting point, the gasoline here had long been burned, and the white snow was covered with a layer of black and yellow sediment.
In addition, the height of the snow has also dropped from more than four meters to just over one meter.
However, after the burned snow turned into water, it was frozen and condensed into ice again due to the low temperature, turning into a high-density ice wall.
"Fang Gong, there are still 40 tons of gasoline, do you want to continue spraying?" Ding Meng's voice came from the intercom.
After Fang Jingxin saw the sinking snow, he picked up the walkie-talkie and replied:
"No, the snow below has solidified and turned into ice. There is no need to spray it any more. Just save some gasoline."
"Okay, then I'll have someone call it a day and take the gasoline back." Ding Meng replied.
"good."
Then, Ding Meng asked his men to close the gate of the oil tanker and unplug the connected oil pipe.
Take the oil tanker and drive towards the oil city.
More than one hundred tons of gasoline, this is a very important batch of materials, so he, the captain of the combat brigade, was asked to personally lead the team.
Fang Jingxin looked at the collapsed snow and fell into deep thought.
At this time, such a scene appeared inside and outside the buffer city.
The buffer city wall is 8.5 meters high, with a depression in the middle, about ten meters wide.
In areas where the sprayed gasoline was not burned, the snow was still more than four meters high.
It presents a shape shaped like the word "concave".
If calculated according to this method, it will be possible to use gasoline to ignite it later, but the effect will be smaller the further you go.
Because the bottom layer of snow has solidified into ice, the bottom layer of ice will not be able to collapse next time.
Calculating this, using this method, you should be able to persist for about a month.
But can there really be a blizzard next month?
neither knows.
That's it, Fang Jingxin asked people to put away the sprayer and oil pipeline for easy use next time.

In the trading market.
It's freezing cold.
People without jobs rarely go out except to go to the market to buy food and go downstairs to fetch water.
In the difficult winter, for many people who have no jobs and can only rely on savings points to survive, it is now a competition to see who can save more points.
The more points you have, the calmer you feel.
No one knows how long the frozen natural disaster will last. Seeing that the points balance in the number card is declining day by day without increasing, many people are anxious.
This feeling of sitting on empty seats is very uncomfortable.
Especially for some people who had a job or did some tasks earlier and received points, but spent a lot of money, they now don't have many points in their hands, and now they can only live a tight life.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They even squatted in the mission hall, looking for some tasks they could do.
There are relatively few such people.
After all, in the apocalypse, most survivors have a sense of urgency and are accustomed to saving and hoarding.
However, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.
There are so many people, there are all kinds of people.
A corner of the mission hall.
Jiang Chao was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and a black knitted hat, huddled in the corner and staring at the big screen in the mission hall.
He has been here for two days and has not received any suitable job.
He went on guard duty at the fence. He signed up and passed. After all, he was a fourth-level member. However, he was passed in the physical examination.
During the last wave of thunderstorms and natural disasters, he ran up there in order to survive, and luckily survived.
After the thunderstorm and natural disaster passed, he finally ushered in spring.
He was more courageous and joined the logging team, where he could earn 0.65 points a day, and he also got food for free.
In addition to the logging team, he also participated in the construction of the buffer city.
After working for half a year, he didn't save many points.
Logically speaking, if you participate in this kind of base engineering task, food is basically included, and more than 0.5 points will be credited to your account every day. If there is no other consumption in a year, you should be able to save 100 points.
The rent cost is extremely low. He lives in a mid-level B-class house and only needs 0.01 points a day, which is less than 2 points in half a year.
And since he is a fourth-level person, if he is willing to lower his housing level, he can go to the third level, which is C-level housing, for free.
But he had been reluctant to go before because he disliked the price drop.
As a proud fourth-level member, there is no one who lives in the worst C-level housing. Most people at the same level as him live in B-level housing.
However, because he loves to play and whore.
He is a frequent visitor to Tingfeng Tower, and he has even taken care of Da Mimi and Di Tongnaya.
Tingfeng Tower is a gold-selling den, especially for these two top brands, the points they spend are even more terrifying.
