"It's okay, Dad. We just went out for a walk."

"Have you found anything? The snowstorm may come at any time, you have to be careful." Zhou Jianghai was still worried.

"Yeah." Zhou Shuwan told his father what he had just seen and heard: "Speaking of which, this area has abundant water resources."

"That's right, that's why there is abundant groundwater, and that's why we built our new base here." Zhou Jianghai said.

Qi Mingyu smiled as he listened quietly to the conversation between the father and daughter. He washed his hands and helped Zhou Jianghai peel the baked potatoes.

"You had baked potatoes for breakfast, so make a potato sandwich."

Zhou Shuwan took out a small piece of previously fried foie gras sauce and a few slices of lettuce from the space, cut the baked potato in half, spread a layer of foie gras sauce on it, and put lettuce on it. The delicious and hearty potato sandwich was ready.

After finishing the sandwich, she took out three bowls of dumpling and egg soup. Worried that her father and Qi Mingyu were not full, she also took out a few meat buns.

Zhou Jianghai ate another bun and drank a bowl of hot soup, feeling very satisfied.

"It was fine to stay here last night. If there's no snowstorm, staying warm in a tent won't be a problem."

Qi Mingyu nodded. He also ate an extra bun and a bowl of soup and pointed at the tent. "This type of tent is very warm and airtight, but you also have to be careful about condensation. Clean it out every one to two days."

"That's not a big deal. We live here and there's nothing to do every day. It's nothing." Zhou Jianghai didn't take it seriously.

Four-season tents are very suitable for scientific researchers to use when they go to the base for inspection. In a closed state, because of the sealed state, the water vapor produced by the breathing of many people can easily form frost inside the tent, and about 1-2 liters of condensed water need to be cleaned every day.

There are only three of them here now. From last night till now, it has only been a dozen hours, and the amount of condensed water formed is small.

"Yes. If six people live here, the place will be a bit cramped, but it is the safest way." Qi Mingyu said.

"That's all we can do." Zhou Jianghai pointed to a few areas in the tent. "You two are young, so just put up the tent to cover the area. You can stay over there, and your mom, grandma, Mumu, and I will stay over here. Put away the sleeping bags during the day, and there'll be enough space."

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu both nodded.

After breakfast, they still had things to do.

Since we are going to live here for a while, in addition to dealing with natural disasters, we also have to prevent man-made damage.

The three began to set traps five meters outside the tent.

Qi Mingyu took out the shovel and pickaxe he had prepared in advance, took a deep breath, tensed his arm muscles, and began digging the trench.

The biting cold wind blew, but his hands did not stop moving. One by one, precisely and powerfully, the shovel shoveled up a mixture of frozen soil and ice and snow, leaving deep marks on the snow.

Zhou Jianghai was cutting ice with a cutter. With the harsh cutting sound, neat blocks of ice were cut out. He used them to reinforce the edge of the trench and form a solid ice wall.

Zhou Shuwan collected the excess ice fragments from cutting ice blocks and carefully covered the trap with them to camouflage it so that the trap blended in with the surrounding environment and was not easily discovered.

After the trap was set, Qi Mingyu asked Zhou Shuwan to take out an alarm device from the space.

He squatted down, carefully connected the alarm device to the trap, and debugged it to ensure that the device could work properly.

Once a person or animal touches the trap, the device will sound an alarm to alert them of the intruder.

Do you know how long this alarm device can last at temperatures of minus 60 or 70 degrees Celsius?

They didn't live here yet, so they tried the alarm and then put it away again.

After setting the trap, the three of them were very tired. They returned to the tent to rest for a while, drank some hot water, and then prepared to go home.
