The weight that can be transferred together is about 100 kilograms, within a sphere of 2 meters in diameter with you at its center. The distance that can be transferred is approximately 1,000 kilometers.
This means that you can carry one other person with you, and you can replenish your supplies or lack of supplies.

So we were quite easy to move around.
We used a large wind-powered floatation machine (blow floater) newly built by Rhodes.

Yeah, 120 kilometers.
That's impressive for something this big. We'll be there by the end of the day.

We are using a large 10-person blow floater, so we can carry a lot of cargo and have plenty of room for supplies.
We had prepared plenty of cold-resistant equipment, which made it easy to set up camp.

The large tents are made of highly insulating fabrics, and the heating apparatus does not consume oxygen, so that we are less likely to run out of oxygen.
With soft floor coverings and thick sleeping bags, we can stay comfortable even on the coldest nights.

In addition, there is enough food for the expedition, so it feels more like a leisure camping trip than an expedition.

You could say that.
Snow Tiger pelts are durable, warm, and practical, and if you bring them to the Laurentian continent, they currently fetch more than five times as much as they do here.

The group explored such a place.
The first thing they noticed was an old door.

So we opened the door a little more and all went inside. It seemed that this was some kind of control room for the mine.

The site was the base of a domed rock formation, which had clearly been artificially sealed.
However, after 700 years, it was half buried in sand and half overgrown with grass, so that even if you were very careful, you would not notice it.
