Chapter One Hundred and Four
Faced with Mo Qingyan's question, Chen Xingang was about to say that he could have a drill to help them punch holes, but he couldn't help but stop his words.
Of course, he can come up with a suitable drill bit, and only need to upgrade the hand drill on the tool table, not to mention just opening a hole dozens of meters deep in the frozen soil, even if he wants to drill deeply, Chen Xin can also get the equipment to punch through the system upgrade.
But is it really good for him to do so?
Chen Xin couldn't help but shake his head.
These group members did encounter difficulties, but they were far from the point where they could not survive.
They still have shelter to live in at this time, and they have reserves of materials to support their lives, although the temperature is indeed a little lower, but the issue has been raised and discussed before the end comes, and everyone is fully prepared.
So, even though it's cold in their shelter right now, it's not to the point where they can't survive, and they can still maintain enough temperature with their heating equipment.
It's just that doing so will consume a lot of stored fuel or increase energy consumption, shorten their theoretical survival time, and it won't really make them unable to survive.
And even if you really can't get by, like those two group friends who asked for help from the official, sending a distress signal and moving to the official shelter is also a way to survive.
Chen Xin's help to them is only to help them continue to survive in the form of private shelters, not to help them survive the existential crisis and save their lives.
Since it did not endanger their lives, there was no need for Chen Xin to rush to help them in such a hurry by consuming a large number of survival points.
The system can indeed help him make various items or equipment reasonable, but this is only for the items themselves, so that people will not feel that a certain item is too hacked, not to make people become stupid, turning a blind eye to what Chen Xin took out and what he did.
It's normal to let someone else process or exchange something for something, after all, everyone has a need or a lack of something in the apocalypse.
But I rushed to help others...... Although it is true that survival in the apocalypse is about teamwork and cooperation, it is not the right posture to reach out to help others in this way.
If they have run out of ammunition and food at this time, they will not be able to survive without help, Chen Xin will help them survive no matter what at this time, but it is far from the final moment.
The low temperature of -34°C is indeed dangerous and deadly, but it is not impossible for humans to survive in such an environment.
Former leader of the Sovian Union, Comrade Father Iron of Georgia, was exiled to the small village of Kuleyka, near the Arctic Circle, a place that cannot be found on the map, and spent five long years in the cold winter of -60 degrees Celsius in Siberia, living in a simple wooden hut and living a primitive life like a wilderness hunter, living only by hunting and fishing.
But even in such a harsh environment, the Iron Father survived tenaciously and exercised his iron will.
Chen Xin bit his finger and thought silently, helping his group members he can harvest survival points, which is the biggest benefit for him, and he can also take this opportunity to exchange a lot of resources from group members for the resources he needs, although these group friends may not have what they want.
But this can easily expose some problems, such as where did Chen Xin's equipment come from, and what is his motivation for helping everyone......
The darkness of the human heart is deeper than we think, and Chen Xin must consider what the consequences will be if he shows too much enthusiasm and kindness.
In the end, he made a decision, so he pressed the talk button on the radio again, and said in a deliberately cold voice: "I can get a drill bit, I can also provide ground source heat pump equipment, and I can help you install it, but everything is not free, I need you to exchange it for materials." ”
After speaking, Chen Xin hurriedly released the speaking button, and after letting out a long breath to relieve his nervousness, he waited for the response of others.
This is the response that Chen Xin came up with, putting on an attitude of "you can help, you have to add money", which can not only help others survive in the name of justice, but also avoid being thought that people are stupid and have a lot of money, and have some ideas that should not be had.
Coupled with a little deterrence by force, Chen Xin felt that this should be able to ensure his safety.
"Ah Xin, can you really get the drill? Do you want to go to Ah Lan......" Mo Qingyan was the first to speak, but she deviated her thoughts in another direction and made up some plots in her brain.
Regarding Mo Qingyan's speculation and brain supplement, Chen Xin naturally understood what she meant as soon as he heard it, but this was also what he wanted to see.
So Chen Xin followed her words and continued: "Well, I plan to ask the SWAT team to get a drill bit through Ah Lan, after all, even if I don't install it for you, I will install such a set of equipment to keep warm, so the drill bit must be used, but I use it myself and help you get it are two different concepts." ”
Chen Xin's reply made Mo Qingyan silent, he didn't know what Mo Qingyan wanted to express, but the others didn't care about the strange atmosphere between the two of them, and asked Chen Xin about the heating effect of the ground source heat pump equipment and what conditions were needed for installation.
And the most important thing is what kind of quid pro quo Chen Xin needs to agree to help others make and install such a device.
Chen Xin gave a detailed explanation of the heating effect and installation conditions of the ground source heat pump, as well as the maintenance and consumption after installation.
However, when everyone asked what the price was, Mo Qingyan suddenly interjected, interrupted everyone's speeches, and announced loudly: "Ingredients, the first one will be loaded for me, and I will give you ten boxes of wine, ten boxes of canned luncheon meat, and five boxes of canned pork...... Plus my sister! ”
"Mo Qingyan, what do you want to do?" Hearing Mo Qingyan's exchange conditions, Chen Xin was shocked, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
However, Mo Qingyan didn't want to explain to him, but she still emphasized in a very tough tone on the radio: "The old lady feels cold, so she wants to be the first to install the heater!" Who has an opinion, take out more things than the old lady, the old lady will let you pretend first! ”
Mo Qingyan's attitude made others silent, and they could only acquiesce to the fact that Chen Xin had installed ground source heat pump equipment for her first.
This also created a very strange situation, that is, if other people want to install a ground source heat pump, the materials they take out in exchange cannot be much lower than the things Mo Qingyan took out, but such a large amount of materials is difficult for them to take out, or they are reluctant to take it out.
