"Is this really for people?" Wang Youquan tried to get into the pit he had dug, which was already covered with perforated iron sheets and plastic film. At a depth of less than one meter and a half, he went in and tried to lie down for a while, always feeling a little aggrieved. Although it is larger than a tent, it is definitely not more comfortable than a tent.
"Is the heating pipe hot?" Xu Yan shouted on the side of the kang clay. This is the acceptance part of the completion of the first phase of their project, first to see if the excavated things can have the desired effect.
Wang Youquan reached out and touched the soles of his feet, a little warm, a little hot. I took out the thermometer and measured it, and there were more than 30 degrees on the tube, but there were only more than 10 degrees in the air, which was not much different from the outside. This is probably because the doors on both sides are not closed, and he is alone here. If it was really for a lot of people to live in as the design says, it would definitely be very warm.
"It's hot, let's take a look in another hour," Wang Youquan walked out of the pit and explained to Xu Yan, "Let's continue to work." β
Almost two hours later, Wu Xiaoqing appeared from behind the hillside again, and saw that where there was only a row of pits before, there was already a plastic film like a greenhouse, and he said with some excitement: "Really fast, Master Wang, how many people can live in these two rows?" β
"If you squeeze it, you can live for one or two thousand."
Both rows of pits were dug along the slope of the hillside, deep inside and shallow outside, about two meters wide, but more than 300 meters long. If there are really people next to people, there are two or three lying in one meter, and more than 1,500 people can be placed in two rows, which is not counting children.
Wu Xiaoqing was also curious to drill into those pits and tried the feeling of living in them, not to mention how comfortable it was, but it was finally a shelter from the wind and rain, which should be enough for primitive people - at least it was better than they could only be exposed to the rain in the open air and hide in the cave.
"I'm here to convey a message to you this time, tomorrow by this time, the boat may be able to arrive, don't panic then," Wu Xiaoqing pointed in the direction of the valley stream, "That's over there, Professor Shen, they will drive the boat from that side." Just do your work, eat your own things, live in your own tents, and the rest of the people, whatever they do, don't interfere with it, and leave it alone. β
Wang Youquan cautiously asked, "Who are they?" Primitive man? He remembered Wu Xiaoqing's previous reminder.
"Yes, but these on the boat are quite obedient, we rescued them from the flood," Wu Xiaoqing said, and suddenly remembered an important matter, "By the way, especially these primitive women, you must not touch them, some of them will seduce you when the time comes." β
"Seduction?" The two men seem to have no idea about the word, perhaps because on Earth, neither of them has had the opportunity to experience it.
"That's right," Wu Xiaoqing felt palpitations at the mention of this, "If you can't control it and touch them, then I'll leave you here to live with them." It's not to scare you. β
Wang Youquan didn't care about this, after all, he had a wife and children, but Xu Yan couldn't help but think about it. However, they still nodded again and again, and they didn't dare to have any ideas at the guy in Wu Xiaoqing's waist. What's more, it's an alien planet.
Before the sun set in the afternoon, they also laid the third pit with iron sheet and film, and Wang Youquan went to test the temperature of the first two pits, which was quite good, and could be kept in the tens of degrees. However, the temperature outside was much lower than yesterday and the day before yesterday, and when they were working today, they both put on their cotton coats.
When they went to bed at night, the two of them began to talk about the woman Wu Xiaoqing said would seduce them. Xu Yan was very interested in this topic, and he didn't even mention the 2160 project anymore, just thinking about what these primitive women would look like. Wang Youquan was more concerned about the project, and when the wind became stronger outside, he also went out to see the shed twice, afraid that the iron sheets would not be fixed and would be blown down by the wind.
β¦β¦
"How long do you have to get there, over." Because of excitement, Wu Xiaoqing came very early today. With his work here during this time, Wu Xiaoqing even felt that this place made him feel more intimate than the earth. If the strange valley is regarded as Wu Xiaoqing's personal territory, then today is the time when his first batch of people arrive.
"Three hours, how's it going for you? Complete. β
"It's good, I've dug three pits, and there are three ACD on the map, which should be enough. What about the people on board, are they okay? Complete. "To be honest, Wu Xiaoqing still misses those primitive people, maybe because only by facing these people can Wu Xiaoqing find some superiority in IQ.
"It's not good, more than seventy have died in the past few days. But the situation is under control. Have you encountered any other wildlings there? Complete. β
"Nope. Complete. β
"What about the beasts? Crocodiles, wild boars or something, still haven't seen them? Complete. Shen Changwen was a little worried.
"Nope. It was full of stones, no earth, and grass grew on the mountain. It may be impossible for them to find something to eat on their own. Complete. β
Wu Xiaoqing was talking about the plan that Shen Changwen had discussed with him before, they planned to transport the people to the shore, and only give those young people one meal a day instead of the current two, forcing them to go out and fend for themselves. But Wu Xiaoqing, judging from the situation of patrolling the neighborhood in the past few days, this idea is a bit unreliable - because there is really nothing here.
It is no wonder that those wild people would be willing to row small boats and go to the waters dozens of kilometers away to hunt for food.
"What about fishing? Are there no fish in the water? Complete. β
"Basically, no, the water here should all come from upstream, similar to the Yellow River, all mud. Complete. β
"What about the weather? Their wizard said that there is no autumn and spring on this planet, only summer and winter, finished. β
"It looks like winter is coming, and the temperature has dropped by more than ten degrees in the past two days. Did they say how cold it is in winter? Complete. β
"It is said that a third of people freeze to death every year. Complete. β
"So how did they get to where they are now, over."
"Their total number of days a year is 1,456 days, which is measured by the search and rescue team, and we are five years a year, and it is over."
"Then I'll let them dig more coal and prepare, over."
"Yes, over."
Wu Xiaoqing didn't bother to walk over and say it, so he directly picked up the horn and said to Wang Youquan: "Master Wang, don't dig a pit yet, you go to an excavator to the coal mine, and I'll come over immediately." β
Wang Youquan obeyed the command, and when he drove to the coal mine, when he was refueling the excavator, he saw Wu Xiaoqing driving a small pickup truck, along the traces he had just pressed - Wang Youquan had never seen a car parked near here before.
The coal seam here is open-air, the distance is a little more than two kilometers, almost no distance, the excavator digs two buckets, the back of the small pickup truck is full, and the excavator itself can take a bucket back. These three buckets of coal are almost enough to burn for more than a week.
Wu Xiaoqing burned the fire to the top, and after making sure that all the preparations here were ready, he went to the water's edge and waited for the boat to arrive. Not long after he walked over, there was a vague shadow of a ship at the place where the water and the sky met.
Wu Xiaoqing picked up the horn and shouted excitedly to the two of them: "Come and see, the ship is coming!" β
The two of them were attracted by Wu Xiaoqing's shouting, Wang Youquan saw it through Wu Xiaoqing's telescope, Xu Yan's eyesight was better, and he could see it like this. As the ship got closer, they both realized that it was bigger than they had thought it would beβthey hadn't really seen the size of the ship before. If such a big ship is filled with people like Wu Xiaoqing said, then one or two thousand is indeed possible.
When the ship was close enough, both of them saw that there were countless people on the ship's first class, wrapped in something like a sheet, looking at their position on the shore, they seemed to be whispering to each other, they looked at themselves in the same way that they looked at themβeach of them was a subconscious fear of the unknown.
The boat did not go directly to the shore, but stopped at a distance of more than 100 meters, and then a large number of small boats were lowered from the boat, and those wrapped in sheets went down to these small boats along the climbing nets on both sides of the boat, and then rowed towards the shore with their oars.
The first batch of people on the boat still had crossbows in their hands, and the first to go ashore was the tallest strong man, carrying a dangerous fire axe in his hand, looking full of murderous aura, Wu Xiaoqing greeted the man, but the strong man was more than ten meters away from Wu Xiaoqing, and suddenly fell to the ground, and at the same time said words that Wang Youquan didn't understand at all.
Then, the group of people who followed the strong man also lay on the ground, and after Wu Xiaoqing asked them to get up, they couldn't hide the excitement on their faces - in Wang Youquan's opinion, it seemed that they had just won hundreds of thousands.
However, Wang Youquan did notice that there was indeed no trace of modern people on these people's bodies, there were no shoes on their feet, their hair and beard were scratched, they looked messy, and after getting closer, they could still smell the sour smell on many of their bodies - this is a bit wronged by these primitive people, the Youjin tribe still likes to take a bath, but there are too many seasick people on the boat, so there is always a smell of vomit.
Batch after batch of primitive people came down from the boat one after another, and then they were arranged in rows into the long pit they had just dug according to Wu Xiaoqing's arrangement. After these people arranged to stop, Wu Xiaoqing called Wang Youquan over again and asked him what kind of work he could give these people to doβthe best kind of hard work.
Wang Youquan hadn't reacted at this time, he and Xu Yan had been stunned by so many primitive people, these primitive people not only knelt down in front of Wu Xiaoqing, but also knelt down in front of the two of them, as Wu Xiaoqing said, there were many women who smiled at them when they passed by - although these women were not very good-looking, they were all female animals after all.
"Let them take the stones, there are a lot of stones on the ground, which affects the operation of the excavator. Oh, and let them go to the coal mine to dig coal. For the time being, Wang Youquan only thinks of these two jobs.
When Wu Xiaoqing went to command these primitives, Wang Youquan pulled Xu Yan and carefully returned to the excavator that belonged to them, ready to continue working. Xu Yan didn't have much heart to work at this time, and just kept muttering: "I knew that the 2160 project was real, and Wu Xiaoqing and Professor Shen must have been sent by the government." β
Wang Youquan's mind calmed down quickly, he didn't think too much, or rather, after the first two days of crankiness, he had completely given up the ability to think, and determined his purpose of only working. After seeing so many people appear, he was just faintly relieved, at least he didn't have to worry about safety, and there was one more - someone could finally play cards with him at night.
