Joe quickly planned a living quarter, a workspace, and a kitchen, a clinic, and other necessary buildings for the residents, and well, the institute was not forgotten.

Joe also singled out policies such as overtime, day and night shifts, and child labor.

"Hey, what's the matter with you, do you have such a labor force, you still dare to use child labor, your humanity?"

Not surprisingly, these policies have caused Ms. Zhang to complain.

"Is there any problem?"

"What's the problem, in this cold environment, you actually force them to go out to work at night, and why don't you even let go of the children"

"It's because they should work more in the cold environment, they have to work harder, so that more people can move out of the tent and live in wooden houses, the more coal they collect, the hotter the steam tower can burn, better avoid the invasion of the cold, as for the children, just let them work in the kitchen, clinic and other places, can liberate more labor, what's not bad?"

Xue Fei was a serious melon eater, and he felt that it would be better if he had a bucket of popcorn in his hand at this time.

"You're only thinking about efficiency, but have you ever thought about those people who are going to get tired."

Joe leaned his body slightly on the workbench, "Heh, in the apocalyptic environment, you have to think about whether you are tired or not, are you afraid that you have a hole in your brain, you have to work hard to survive, the next cold wave will come soon, if you don't work hard now, wait until everyone dies in the cold wave to regret it?"

"Wait, you can give them enough food, why do you have to let them drink soup"

"It's just a simple calculation, soup can reduce our food consumption, and now the food reserves are not sufficient."

"Hmm" Zhang Xiaofei still wanted to refute Qiao, but in the face of the coming cold wave, she didn't know what reason she should use to refute.

"Can you live" Xue Fei lazily asked his question.

"As long as you follow my plan, there will be no problem."

"Oh" After asking, Xue Fei began to salt fish again.

On the monitoring screen, those villains braved the cold wind, struggled to get out of a road in the wind and snow, and then worked hard.

They still have to work in such a situation, and what they think in their hearts will never be known to the people who are separated from them by the screen.

Only one mechanical text prompt appeared on the display, "The worker is in a bad mood." ”

After seeing the text reminder, Joe will reduce overtime depending on the situation. Or raise the temperature, or have plenty of food.

Under Joe's subtle manipulation, those people are in a delicate state that is always dissatisfied, but does not riot.

Joe sent out an expedition, partly to gather more resources, and partly to find more survivors.

Joe is frantically researching science and technology, constantly increasing the reserves of coal and food. It was as if something was chasing him.

Qiao was extremely stubborn during this game, he did not allow Xue Fei and Zhang Xiaofei to do any operations, and he unswervingly carried out his plan.

A tooltip appears on the workbench.

The expedition team that went out found a group of survivors, whether to let the expedition escort them back

Note: If the expedition is not escorted, the survivors may suffer a large number of casualties

After some thought, Joe gave up the escort.

An expedition trip was very time-consuming, and this trip didn't get the steam core that Joe wanted.

Only by obtaining the steam core can you make robots, and robots are the key to fully automated survival.

Even if there will be many people who die halfway because of this decision.

In the face of the survival of the human race, there is no one who cannot be sacrificed, even if the person who is to be sacrificed is him, he will accept it calmly, Joe thought.

After another period of operation, a prompt box popped up on the workbench again, and the expedition team encountered a broken steam tower, which contained a steam core that could be rescued, but the entrance to the steam core was blocked and only children could enter, and there was no possibility of survival after children entered, do you want to rescue the steam core

"No, you can't rescue the steam core." Zhang Xiaofei immediately jumped out to object.

"The steam core is our hope for future survival, and I can't give up."

"I'd rather not have the hope of trading a child's life."

"Only by holding on to this hope will more children be rescued in the future."

Both of them were extremely insistent on their own opinions, so the right to judge was handed over to Xue Fei, "I said, you are responsible for all the activities this time." But I still have to say that I am a very selfish person, so I don't agree with all those acts of sacrificing the minority to save the majority, because I don't want to be the one who everyone decides to sacrifice one day. ”

“”

In the end, Joe chose to rescue the steam core, and the child who didn't know where it was was sacrificed because of it.

They all understand that this is a game, this is an illusory world, and what dies is just a piece of code.

But the people in the room fell silent, and the children as a special group always appeared in our world with a very special image.

They are weak, they are hopeful, they are sympathetic, and they are the first in the sequence of escape when disaster strikes.

Joe can be cold and unusually cold at certain moments, thinking only about maximizing profits, without any regard for human nature.

What kind of story is behind this, Xue Fei is curious, but he will not delve into it.

What should be known will be known one day, and what should not be known, no matter how much you dig into the bottom of the matter, there will be no results.

The expedition continued to march into the unknown distance with the precious steam core.

On the Vault side, under Joe's control, there are already automated shearers, and the coal production is already very high.

But that didn't reassure Joe, who was still using coal very sparingly, and still pushing his workers to work at their limits.

Zhang Xiaofei protested again and again, hoping that Qiao could increase his welfare benefits and reduce his working hours, but he was rejected by Qiao again and again.

"Are they working for me, they are fighting for their own future, in the face of disaster, they have to struggle hard to survive, if they give up on themselves, who will come to save you, no matter how much preparation you make in the face of the unknown, this world is neither kind nor gentle, it is a thousand times more cruel than you imagine" Quick Eye Reading _
