Chapter 35: Melancholy
Xu Yitian woke up after sleeping for two hours, and then learned the way to cut off the cold current from Yao Xue, so he went to find Zhong Shiguo non-stop.
Zhong Shiguo said: "The method you said is indeed feasible, and we can transfer this method to the central government and let them build a wall from the far north, so that the problem of cold weather can be fundamentally solved." ”
Directly transferring the solution to the north, on the one hand, can solve the problem, and on the other hand, it can save more manpower and materials for the base, and they just need to sit back and enjoy the achievements.
Since most power stations are unmanned, many ground stations and communication towers are out of service, so the means of communication cannot be transmitted directly to the receiver as before.
At present, short-distance communication between bases relies on radio energy, so in order to transmit news to the capital, it is necessary to transmit messages through one base after another.
But at present, there is also a problem of time, this takes too much time, and when the capital receives the news, and then the construction begins, I don't know how many days it will take to complete, but I am afraid that many people will die.
Half a month has passed, and in these days, Xu Yitian has led the team of capable people to loot nearby cities like crazy, just to reduce the number of deaths.
"Captain, there are more and more complaints below, and they are almost uncontrollable." Zhou Xiao looked entangled, as if he had something to say.
Xu Yitian naturally looked at it in his eyes and said, "You don't have to have any scruples, just say whatever you want." ”
"Why don't we take a break and rest for a while." Zhou Xiao knew that saying this would make Xu Yitian unhappy, but if he was uneasy to soothe the emotions below at the moment, it would cause bigger problems in the future.
"Yes."
Xu Yitian just snorted, and the short syllables contained huge helplessness.
Because Xu Yitian knew that they just didn't want to be busy for a while in vain, all they got back was thank you, and they couldn't even hear thank you.
Anyone who goes out to search for materials and comes back, all the materials must be handed in, and then exchanged for grade points, but the general materials in exchange for a very small number of grade points, a kilogram of rice turned in is only a grade point, and ordinary people need a grade point to buy a pound of rice.
However, compared to the food that can be found everywhere, tobacco and alcohol have become luxury goods here, because even if the food is eaten, it can be grown, but the production of tobacco and alcohol has been stopped, and like ammunition, a little less is used.
Nowadays, the cheapest cigarette costs two GPAs, which forces many old smokers to either quit smoking or become poor.
After all, it is only ten GPAs a day to participate in the construction work at the base, 20 GPAs for a single piece of clothing, and more than 50 GPAs for thicker clothes, minus food and drinking water, etc., if a family of three wants to live a stable life in this winter, there must be two people working at the base, and then it is possible to survive by saving money.
Fortunately, most of the families in the base are fragmented, basically there are no more than three people, but only about half of the people in the base have jobs, and only a quarter of them have jobs this winter.
People who don't have a job can only eat nutrients that taste like they are, but the taste here is not delicious, but a mixture of leather, dirt, weeds, etc.
This nutrient is made by researchers who speculate that a person needs nutrients for a day, and then directly synthesize it, and in order to produce it in large quantities, the taste naturally does not take much into account.
Those who are able do not need to work will have a monthly income of GPA, and three meals a day are hot free food, and sometimes some vegetables.
That's why they complain, why should they go out and suffer when they can do a family squat.
It is said that you should not do to others what you do not want to do to others, not to mention what people do not want, how can Xu Yitian impose them.
When night came, Xu Yitian sat at the dining table, vinegaring shredded potatoes, pulling shredded sweet potatoes, stir-fried meat with chili, egg seaweed soup, and steaming white flour steamed buns.
Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.
Although Xu Yitianbi doesn't think that he is not a noble family in the poem, this is indeed the case.
"Aren't you going to eat some today?" Li Ruoxi looked at Xu Yitian, who was not ready to move the chopsticks, and turned his head and asked.
"Don't be hungry, you eat first, I'll be in the bedroom." Xu Yitian shook his head and got up to leave.
Li Ruoxi knew that he wouldn't listen even if he persuaded him, so he could only let him go, and she just had to accompany him.
"Eat, and I'll go see him." Li Ruoxi said to the Yao sisters, and then chased Xu Yitian's back and left.
"Sister, will we still eat?"
Yao Qin looked at the food in front of her and swallowed her saliva, because she was really hungry, I don't know why, Yao Qin's appetite has been getting bigger and bigger these days, and she was worried about gaining weight at first, but she didn't see weight gain after a week of binge eating, so she didn't care.
"Let's eat, we can't waste it." Yao Xue is also very entangled, but their sisters are just ordinary people, if they don't eat to ensure that their bodies have enough energy, I am afraid that they will freeze to death outside in a few days.
Because the two of them found two easier public positions at the base with the help of Xu Yitian, Yao Xue was responsible for the front desk registration at the medical station, but the same salary as the head nurse, 800 GPA a month, and Yao Qin was registered in the logistics, and 800 GPA a month.
As for why they are higher than others, it is because of Xu Yitian's face, of course, this is not what Xu Yitian found them, but the decision they made independently to please Xu Yitian.
Xu Yitian knew, but he still acquiesced, after all, the beneficiary was not him.
In the room, Xu Yitian was holding a cigarette and spitting out smoke there, although he didn't know what kind of cigarette he was smoking.
Xu Yitian never smoked before, but these days he smokes more and more, and he can only say that there are more and more things that troubles him in his heart.
"Didn't you eat?" Xu Yitian saw Li Ruoxi who pushed the door in, and hurriedly extinguished the cigarette.
"It doesn't matter." Li Ruoxi said.
"You don't like the smell of smoke, and I don't like smoking, it's just that I'm getting more and more confused." Xu Yitian leaned out of the window and felt the cold wind blowing on his face, although Xu Yitian only felt a trace of coolness.
"Do what you want, right or wrong, I'm on your side." Li Ruoxi didn't ask Xu Yitian what he was confused about, but simply encouraged him and supported him behind his back.
"Yes." The smell of smoke dissipated, Xu Yitian closed the window, he didn't want to freeze Li Ruoxi.
"Let's do something pleasant." Li Ruoxi looked at Xu Yitian affectionately.
Xu Yitian stepped forward to pick her up, turned around and walked towards the bed.
Sleepless nights.
