Should we provide them with lightning rods?

Xu Xin is willing to do so personally. They all have special skills. If they really die in this thunderstorm, it will definitely be a big loss.

But the focus of this matter is on Li Wenxi, whether she is willing or not. After all, the black gold is in her hands.

Xu Xin sent a video to Li Wenxi.

Almost in seconds, Li Wenxi was lying by the window, looking at the dark clouds outside, and exclaimed: "Xu Xin, lightning started to flash on my side! Just now, many lightning strikes hit the lightning rod of my tree house.

Up! I’ve never seen such thick lightning, it’s so scary!”

Although she said this, there was no trace of fear on her face, and she was even a little excited.

Xu Xin told her her thoughts.

Li Wenxi showed a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Actually, I also want to help them, but it takes ten pieces of black gold ore to bake a black gold nugget, and it takes an hour to bake one piece. It is really difficult to bake, so I did it alone."

I built a furnace and kept firing black gold nuggets, but now there are only twelve black gold nuggets, so one lightning rod requires five nuggets..."

Li Wenxi's meaning was obvious. She spent time and effort, moved it again, and burned it all night before she got a dozen black gold nuggets. The quantity was too small and she didn't want to give it to others.

Xu Xin could understand her thinking very well. She didn't have much resources, and she still had to help others. That was sheer ignorance. Talented people want to help the world, but now they may not even have enough resources for themselves, so they can just take care of themselves.

"I didn't expect black gold nuggets to be so difficult to obtain. It was because I didn't think carefully." Xu Xin felt like what she just said was a bit like a virgin bitch, and apologized a little embarrassedly.

"When there are more black gold nuggets in the future, I can help them. After all, I am a member of an organization, and I have benefited from their information. But with the weather outside, I don't know when I can go out to mine next time."

During the conversation between the two, the thunderstorm outside never stopped, and even became more and more intensive.

When Xu Xin first woke up, thunder only struck two or three times a minute, but now it sounds every ten seconds.

"I can't even hear what you are saying." Li Wenxi covered her ears and rubbed her hands. The thunder was too loud. "I don't know when it will stop. Isn't it the rainy season today? Why is there only thunder but no rain..."

Huh?"

She suddenly looked out the window with wide eyes, and then took a breath of cold air: "There's a fire! There's a fire in the distance! Lightning struck and caused a fire!"

"What?" Xu Xin immediately looked out the window. Although lightning struck continuously, there was no tendency to catch fire for the time being.

However, it is probably only a matter of time before the lightning is so dense that it causes forest fires.

Thinking like lightning, Xu Xin instantly gave advice: "Quick, go down and cut down all the trees around the tree house and create a fire break, so that the fire cannot spread! Don't worry about lightning strikes, the lightning rod will

Lure the thunder that is closer to you!"

"Oh, okay! I'll go right away!" Li Wenxi hurriedly hung up the video.

At this time, Ji Chaoyang also sent a message in the group.

“Everyone, this thunderstorm before the heavy rain is likely to cause forest fires.

My treehouse was struck by lightning several times just now. Some things in the treehouse were destroyed by the lightning current. This lightning strike can destroy items in the house, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on us, and it won't cause the treehouse to catch fire.

But don't take it lightly and wait in the tree house because the tree in the distance may catch fire.

Now we'd better take important things and get out of the tree house, and then cut down all the trees around the tree house to form a fire break around it. In this way, if there is a forest fire, we can reduce the losses.

to the minimum.

We don’t need to worry too much about lightning hitting us near the tree house, because the tree house is very high and will attract lightning for us. Of course, be careful not to get hit by lightning when you get down from the tree house. Do it as soon as possible. I have already seen it in the distance.

There's a fire, we just need to hold on until the rainstorm comes."

At the same time, he also sent this sentence to the regional channel. The difference is that he added another sentence to the sentence he sent to the regional channel.

"Survivors of low treehouses that have not raised their levels must be careful. Your treehouse is not high enough and will not attract lightning. It is up to you to decide whether you want to go down and cut down the firebreak."

From his words, Xu Xin learned that if the tree house was struck by lightning, it would damage the items in the house, which was not very serious.

This guy actually thought of so much in just a few minutes, and even sorted out the strategy and posted it, which Xu Xin had to admire.

Just now, he thought that the tree house being one level higher would be very disadvantageous for other people without lightning rods, but Ji Chaoyang directly grasped the point.

The biggest hazard of this thunderstorm is not the lightning strike, but the bush fires it may cause! After all, lightning strikes cannot hurt the people in the tree house, but forest fires can!

"Ji Chaoyang is right. We must clean up the surrounding area immediately. It is not yet seven o'clock. Judging from previous activities, the rainstorm season is likely to start at nine o'clock. Two hours is enough for Lin

The fire has spread very far, everyone must pay attention!" Xu Xin also sent a message on the regional channel.

The two big guys on the list, one on the list and two on the list, both spoke with strong convincing power. Immediately, the regional channel was filled with words of gratitude.

"Thank you two big guys!"

"There's a fire in the distance here too! Let's go down and chop down the trees!"

"Haha, I have already cut down all the trees around me, so it saves trouble!"

"Oh my gosh, there are birches and pine trees growing around me!"

"Just cut it down. The materials you'll get from a tree that's not fully grown will be much less, but it's not nothing. I've tried to cut it down before."

"I understand, get down immediately!"

And those survivors who did not obtain higher levels of treehouses in the previous event are also discussing.

"What should I do? Do you want to go down? What if you are struck by lightning..."

Gu Hao

"Maybe it won't catch fire?"

"What are you thinking about? With such dense thunder, the possibility of catching fire is too high!"

"Damn it, there's a fire here! It's over, it's over!"

"Fuck, we can't continue to be so cowardly. If labor and management are to go down, it's better to be struck to death by lightning than to be burned to death! It will be almost as painless as possible!"

"That makes sense, I'll go down too!" "I'll go down too!" "Together!"

On Xu Xin's side, as a thunderbolt fell, a flame suddenly burst out about a kilometer away.

Fortunately, there is no strong wind in the forest now, so the forest fire did not spread quickly.

Xu Xin took advantage of this opportunity and quickly came to the tree house. In order to speed up the cutting, he made an iron ax (blue) and a shovel (blue).

[Iron Ax (Blue): A high-grade iron ax, extremely sharp and tough. It can cut down the highest purple trees and some special types of trees. Durability 3000. 】

The iron ax (blue) has a durability of up to 3000 points, and the efficiency of cutting down green-level trees with one ax is twice that of the stone ax. It can also cut down some special types of trees. But Xu Xin has not yet.

I have encountered trees that cannot be cut down with a stone axe.

As for the shovel, there is a 50% probability that it can transplant trees. This is what he prepared for the apple tree below.

He had already cleared the area under the tree house during the novice protection period. What he needed to do now was to expand the area again. If there was a fire in the jungle, at least the flames would not be able to affect the surrounding areas.

tree crown.

Under the tree house, the apple trees he planted were just bearing fruit, and the pine and birch trees were already grown.

"According to time, the apple trees are indeed just in shape, but the pine and birch trees seem to be fully grown tomorrow, right?" A trace of doubt flashed in Xu Xin's heart, but now is not the time to think about this.

The efficiency of the iron ax was very high. Xu Xin first came to the pine and birch forest and chopped down and collected all the wood one by one with an axe. Then he started logging frantically around the tree house.

The dark clouds in the sky seemed to be getting lower and lower, and he didn't even want to look up at the mountain-like clouds.

The black thunderclouds were pressing down on his head, and the thick and humid air made him a little out of breath. He could only follow the falling lightning and swing the ax in his hand, his head being hit by the lightning every ten seconds.

There would be a loud thunder that shook the sky and made me feel a little dizzy.

Fortunately, all the surrounding lightning was attracted by the treehouse and the lightning rod, and did not cause any harm to him. On the contrary, the lightning rod on the top of his treehouse was emitting a dazzling white light at this time, and it seemed that it was about to be fully charged with electricity.

The sky on the other side was dyed red by forest fires, and the heat was even coming, so Xu Xin accelerated the cutting.

The area Xu Xin wants to cut down is much larger than others, but fortunately, more than 100 square meters is not too big.

He went back and forth to the tree house several times to put wood, and finally cut out a clearing of about 20 meters wide around the tree house as a fire break.

Generally, the forest fire break zone is 40 to 60 meters, but it also depends on the type of surrounding vegetation. If it is all lawn, ten meters is actually enough. If it is shrubland, it is usually 60 meters.

Xu Xin has cleared all the shrubs on the ground, and twenty meters is barely enough. The most important thing is that he can already see the fire spreading in the distance and the horizon dyed red, and he can no longer continue.

The apple tree (blue) was also planted outside the tree house. Xu Xin came to the fruit tree, picked all the fruits, and then shoveled down the roots of the fruit tree without hesitation.

There was already an apple tree in the plantation on the top floor of his treetop, so the tree that had already produced fruit wasn't that important.

The three-meter-tall small fruit tree slowly fell to the ground.

[Obtain Apple Tree Seed*1]

[Obtain Apple Tree (Blue)*1, which can be transplanted into soil of green level and above. Please transplant as soon as possible within 24 hours. 】

Success! 50% probability that he succeeded!

Of course, because of the bonus of koi, the actual probability is not 50%. He has tested it before, and the 50% probability for him is not a 50/50 ratio, but about two times every three times.

Back in the tree house, standing by the third-floor window, Xu Xin looked in the direction of the forest fire. The place had changed from one or two burning trees to a whole sea of ​​fire. Even from a distance, he could see

You can feel the heat rushing towards your face.

Fortunately, the wind speed was not strong and the air was very humid, so the fire was not too serious.

"Fortunately, there was no strong wind, and the fire didn't spread very quickly." Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were just at this speed, it would probably take a long time for it to spread to him. He picked up the ax and thought about whether to go down and chop down some more trees. After all, it would be a pity if they were burned.

However, as if he heard his words, just when he was about to turn around, the gentle breeze outside suddenly became violent!

The wind was so strong that some of the thinner poplar trees were bent directly. The sound of the wind was like a roaring train, mixed with the increasingly dense thunder, playing this death march.

The flames in the distance instantly swelled due to the wind, and even a few small flames that had just been struck by lightning also started to shoot up. There were many fires in the jungle, and they began to spread rapidly with the wind!

The sound of wind, thunder, lightning, and forest fires made the scene in front of me look like the end of the world.

Xu Xin was also scratched on the cheek by pebbles carried by the oncoming strong wind, causing pain.

His eye twitched.
Chapter completed!
