My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

The theory expressed by Ai Jianfeng is not difficult to understand.

When electricity was first developed on the earth, it had various limitations.

At that time, all scientists tried to find a material that could accommodate and transmit energy to perfectly solve the problem of human energy deficiency.

It's a pity that centuries have passed.

The scientists who asked the questions changed one after another, and the development speed of materials science also accelerated to an unknown extent. Humanity has stepped out of the earth and explored other planets.

This problem is still unresolved and has even evolved to a worse situation!

Yes, even in the 21st century, before time travel, energy is still a problem facing everyone.

At that time, within the scope of China, it was okay. It could still maintain stable prices based on its previous accumulation. Even if power shortages occurred, they could be solved quickly.

But if we look beyond China and look at other regions, we can clearly see through prices how serious this energy shortage is!

Even if we don't take into account the energy problems of most people, and only consider the positive gains that energy brings to the technology tree, its breakthrough importance still ranks among the top in the major categories!

If aerospace science solves the energy problem, mankind can take a complete step forward and enter the age of interstellar navigation.

Weapons science, with sufficient energy, nuclear weapons will become history, and weapons that use propulsion or speed as a means will be more popular.

In medicine, human beings can directly connect their energy supply parts externally, and transmit energy through external substances, so they no longer need to suffer from pain.

biology

One-stop service, as long as major breakthroughs can be made in the energy direction, the shackles of other technological limits will also be easily lifted.

Of course, at this stage, these things are still a good vision for the territory.

Just like

"Ah? Uncle Ai, do we need ten tons of hot stones to restore the power in our territory?"

"Ten tons is a lot. According to our current situation, it's six yuan a day, which is 800 grams. Let me think about it."

"How long will it take to get enough?"

After understanding the importance of the hot stone mine, Su Chan tilted her head and thought for a while, then raised an urgent question.

Hot rocks are not like iron ores. Small mines can contain three to five million tons, and large mines can even contain tens of millions of tons.

As far as the entire depression is concerned, the total of hot stones evenly distributed on the ground is only fifty tons.

Coupled with the unresolved mining problem, Ai Jianfeng scratched his head and looked embarrassed when looking at Su Chan's serious expression.

"Well, once you have a direction, there are always more solutions than difficulties."

"When Uncle Ai first embarked on the path of scientific research, he was also faced with many difficulties. My mentor once told me."

Seeing Ai Jianfeng drop the topic and start "telling stories" like a student again, Lu Kuan, who was waiting to watch the excitement, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This time, Ai Jianfeng stopped talking and the two began to bicker.

Compared with dozens of days ago, Lu Kuan's personality has completely changed now that he has regained his human body again.

A touch of gloom dissipated from his body, replaced by full cheerfulness and confidence in tomorrow.

Looking at these two scientific research experts who were over fifty but still had the mentality of children, Su Mo felt a little brighter in his heart when he raised his head.

"The level of the hot stone mine is indeed not high right now, and I have ways to improve it, but it just takes some time."

"Of course, we should mine or mine, as long as we control the quantity. I hope that we can break through the energy constraints in the shortest possible time, at least in terms of people's livelihood."

"Otherwise, if we are limited by energy and rely solely on manpower for development, the progress will be too slow!"

A definite conclusion is given.

moment.

The two stopped, turned their heads at the same time, and acted differently.

Holding his fist, Lu Kuan waved violently: "I knew that something like this that I have never seen before can really be upgraded. The current unit capacity and absorption capacity are too small. As long as we can double it, no, increase it by 50 %, the changes brought about are unimaginable!”

"I will take care of it then. In half a month, even if it is far away, there will be no problem in restoring power to the village!"

Ai Jianfeng was thoughtful: "In terms of people's livelihood? Sumo, is it possible that our territory has to absorb more people?"

Sumo nodded: "Yes, I have received clear information about a human gathering place. There are about 30,000 people. Once winter passes, we can try to explore it. At the very least, we must bring our citizens It would be better to expand the number to 3,000 or 5,000 people!"

"When there are more people, not only eating, drinking, and defecation will be a big problem, but also satisfying their work positions will be very important. I have already made preliminary plans."

When I was a lone wolf, every time I returned to the shelter, it was a time to count the harvest and take a good rest.

But now, as soon as I returned to the territory, my butt was still hot, and a lot of things happened, leaving no time to rest at all.

Sumo was used to this kind of busyness, but he enjoyed it.

Immediately, the three people put their horses in position and continued discussing in many directions until news came from the village that dinner was about to begin, and then they stopped.

"Come over to eat and talk?"

The two stood up and nodded happily: "Yes, I have to eat. I have returned to my human form. I will be starving if I don't eat for one meal!"

"Come on, Xiaochan, let's eat together!"

After the gloomy snowy days, the bright sunny days can always bring people an indescribable good mood.

After closing the door of the shelter, we stepped on the thin snow and continued chatting.

Soon, a group of four people arrived at the newly built large canteen behind the village.

"Come on, director, here!"

The simple canteen built of wood is not large, but it can accommodate seventy tables, which can meet the dining requirements of eight hundred people at a time.

Following Chen Shen's excited wave, Su Mo turned his head and looked around. He couldn't hold back the affection that burst out from his heart and burst out laughing.

When playing a simulation construction game, the strength of the territory, the living conditions of the territorial residents, and some subtle changes can only be reflected in cold numbers, which cannot bring much impact.

Even when the numbers accumulate to a certain level, there will be no basic needs, and the game will be restricted by the gameplay, and it will feel boring.

But in reality, this feeling is completely different.

The brand new wooden tables and chairs in the canteen are rough, but compared to before when most people could only squat down to eat, it is more than a little better!

The colorful porcelain bowls and pots baked on the table don't look very good, but they reveal everyone's pursuit of a better life.

No one could have imagined that this place was deserted half a month ago, but now it is decent, even no worse than some poor villages on the earth!

Of course, everything here is even more shocking to Marshal Wang, who is surrounded by everyone!

Seeing Sumo nodding along with the villagers and walking with a friendly smile.

Although he was completely mentally prepared, at this moment, he still stood up involuntarily, with a hint of embarrassment on his expression.

"Okay, sit down and eat along!"

"You've been to so many places, you're really lucky, but since you can survive, you should cherish your life and use more brains in everything."

We have a preliminary understanding of why Marshal Wang betrayed the information about the human gathering place.

Sumo's previous prejudice was gone.

Unlike these villagers in the depression, Marshal Wang is just a microcosm of most ordinary people in the outside world in this apocalyptic world.

He was guilty, but his thoughts did not lead to a big mistake, and his sin would not lead to death.

And as long as the current situation does not get worse, as long as he can take on the responsibility of leading the way, he can save the struggling refugees in the gathering place from the fire.

So to these people, he is a good person, a good person who saved their lives.

"Okay, just sit down. You said you are a weirdo. You have to squat there to feel comfortable!"

Seeing Marshal Wang finally sit down in embarrassment, Chen Shen on the side waved helplessly, gesturing to the villagers behind to serve the food.

As soon as he turned around, dozens of people walked out skillfully and began to serve the prepared dishes on the table.

Stir-fried cabbage, cold garlic sprouts, vegetable pancakes, and a bowl of beef pimple soup per person.

Make bricks without straw.

Nowadays, the fresh food resources in the depression have basically been exhausted, but thinking of Soma's return, the chefs still cooked a meal as much as they could.

Two dishes and one soup, if there is meat, it can be considered a "hearty" meal!

“How many fresh vegetables do we have left?”

Somo casually grabbed a mixed vegetable pancake and asked casually while chewing it.

From the perspective of satiety and nutrition, the value of mixed vegetable pancakes is much higher than that of steamed buns. No matter how big your appetite is, eating two can still make you 70% full.

But in terms of taste, the mixed vegetable pancake tastes a bit chewy because the vegetable roots inside are not completely crushed.

In addition, although some mixed vegetables are not poisonous, they have a bit of a strange taste. Mix them together and you can have a different experience with every bite.

"There are still about two tons, which can definitely last until the end of this winter!"

"Besides, our newly reclaimed land has already been planted with the cold-resistant seeds that you gave us before, Director. There is no need to worry about vegetables."

After thinking about it with chopsticks, Su Yuan gave a definite answer.

At the same time, it also exposed the dilemma currently faced by a depression.

Meat is not enough!

Unlike vegetables, which can be grown artificially, mutations can also be induced to produce some special varieties.

If you want to have enough meat, you must have large-scale breeding farms and matching breeding animals, so that you can gradually realize the freedom of eating meat.

In addition, even the longest meat animal species has a growth cycle of more than a hundred days.

The future source of meat is not only unsolved in the current depression.

Even half a year or a year later, it will be difficult to fundamentally solve the problem.

"Marshal Wang, how did they solve the food problem at the gathering place you came to?"

After taking a sip of the hot beef pimple soup and looking at Marshal Wang wiping his tears in the corner while silently chewing food, Somo calmed down and asked again.

The food expenditure for more than 1,000 people in the depression requires about 1,300 kilograms of wheat and nearly 50 kilograms of vegetables every day.

Any less, and everyone will have to cut back on meals and work in the fields hungry.

In the long run, it will not only reduce physical fitness, but also easily cause a series of incidental diseases.

And if this number is converted to a gathering place of 30,000 people, even Sumo himself feels a little dizzy when he thinks of the pressure on food resources that has skyrocketed twenty to thirty times.

"God Su, no, Director Su"

Marshal Wang was startled when Sumo called him, and he suddenly wanted to stand up and reply.

But after seeing Somo's kind eyes, he choked and put down the vegetable pancake in his hand, and said intermittently with a complicated expression:

"Director, you don't know something. People who can come to the New World to try their luck are basically people who were unlucky during the welfare disaster, or who didn't have any supplies due to other reasons."

"Because there is no innate storage and no subsequent development conditions, everyone who wants to survive has no choice but to scavenge, otherwise they can only be forced to rob!"

"Some people banded together to rob foreign camps, some robbed foreign caravans, and many people robbed their own people. Many people had the idea of ​​​​catching the cicadas before the oriole behind them, waiting for their own people to rob before they go up. "attack"

"But apart from this, there are also some bully beasts who prey on the old, weak, sick and disabled. These people deserve to die!"

The real situation stated by Marshal Wang was something that the other people sitting at the table had never seen or heard of in the apocalyptic wasteland.

As he further described the chaotic situation in the gathering place, even Li Hu, the most knowledgeable among the people, could not help but frown.

"Thirty thousand people is the population of the origin territory when I "left". Based on the number of people joining every day, I guess that their current number is definitely only a lot more. It's over 40,000 anyway!"

"The territory has a co-governance committee, which is managed by sixteen lords through consultation, and everyone is evenly distributed on different hills or valleys."

"There are only one or two thousand people engaged in production at most. Most of the others are either on the road to robbery or on the road of scavenging and excavating relics!"

Element awareness.

When Sumo heard about the excavation of the ruins, he felt a slight pause in his heart, and the word Yanguo flashed in his mind.

However, there were many people at the moment, so he did not rush to ask questions, but continued to listen attentively to Marshal Wang's description of the origin territory.

"The reason why we robbed the alien camps was because they were unprepared at first. They took advantage of the chaos and were able to grab a lot of supplies. But as time went by, they also took precautions."

"After several robberies and heavy casualties, everyone focused on the foreign caravans coming and going, hoping to make a fuss here."

"It's a pity that this is not a long-term solution. If you rob a few times, people will not leave here if they know about it. If you want to extend the front line and go further, you have to take greater risks. The situation is getting worse. "It's getting stiffer"

"This winter, I'm afraid many people will starve to death!"

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

As the word "starved to death" appeared, the atmosphere on the table suddenly stiffened, and everyone shuddered.

Immediately, Shen Ke asked in confusion: "Then they have never thought about leaving the mountains and living in other human gathering places, or exiting the New World and its deep oceans early?"

"Yes, yes, but other human gathering places will not take care of food for you. If you want to join, you can only pay a sum of materials as a ticket to enter, in order to get shelter from others. As for food and accommodation, in the end, you still have to do it yourself. There is no big difference between solving it and living in the mountains."

"What's more, the pirate ship of the New World is easy to get on and off. If you want to go back across the ocean, you need at least some supplies as starting capital, right? But just these supplies, more than 80% of people don't have them. !”

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Marshal Wang didn't say anything more, but lowered his head and began to greedily suck the pimple soup in the bowl, with a blur in his eyes.

Other human territories in the New World and Su Shen's territory are like two completely opposite extremes.

Here, he saw the hope in everyone's eyes, and saw the beautiful vision of all the people who had just arrived in the New World for the gathering place of mankind.

There is a powerful lord who presides over decision-making, there is enough defense force to maintain the security of the territory, and there is a job suitable for you to shine.

The most important thing is to take care of the food, the house, and even the heating!

In addition, if you add a bright future and countless opportunities, one sentence suddenly jumped into Marshal Wang's mind:

"There is no hell in this world, but I have seen heaven, so there is... hell!"
