Chapter 404: Hunger is the primary productive force
The others, led by Medell, were actively involved in the construction of the Void Paradise, but their concern was not for the economic problems of Sector 17, but for the strategic significance of the swarm.
Since the establishment of the Junkyard, the development of the swarm has been slow, mainly because in the absence of foreign enemies, it is difficult for them to test the power of the Corruption or the Ghiff's Infection series equipment through actual combat, but the completion of the town gives them the perfect opportunity to test the strength of a single class.
This is also the reason why Medell actively deployed a whole circle of axe men on the outskirts of the town, she called these bugs "hunters", and she couldn't wait to send them to the "battlefield" as soon as they hatched.
As a researcher, Medell doesn't know the joy of farming, she only knows that the town is full of her important research subjects, and one less person dies, so she can't let these people have an accident or let them run away.
Don't think about leaving when you come, this is the guiding ideology discussed by all the staff of Void Paradise in the second meeting.
However, they are not demons after all.
The mysterious merchant Gerf can sell them the Infected series of weapons from time to time, not only as a stable channel for testing new weapons, but also for the self-defense of the occupants.
A good operator should not only consider the physical safety of customers, but also take into account the psychological safety, and even in the face of the void, the more serious is often the collapse of sanity.
But this is a dilemma.
Powerful firepower can give them a sense of security, but on the other hand, if someone suddenly has an emotional breakdown and sweeps through the crowd with a gun, this sudden and unpredictable behavior can cause a large number of deaths and injuries in an instant.
"Someone has to stay in the town for a long time and observe their mental state."
After chatting with Song Lan about the content of "Hunter", Medell handed over this thorny question to Song Lan, "I heard that you are the head of the psychological counseling department, and this is your area of expertise." ”
After saying these words, she left in style, leaving Song Lan, who had heard the bad news, messy in the fog.
Mental health issues, it's definitely a hot potato.
The colleagues in the law enforcement department just haunt the crime scene, and seeing the human-led crime and tragedy leads to their varying degrees of psychological problems, which can be explained by logic, but the people who live in small towns have to face unknown monsters and risks every day, which is a great challenge to their mental state.
Even after a long day in the town, he felt a little uncomfortable.
The lack of visibility due to the fog was secondary, and the biggest headache for him was that he searched the entire building as soon as he arrived at the town inn, and finally found the kitchen, which had been abandoned for years.
As a person who is accustomed to food culture and refuses nutritional injections, it is uncomfortable to go without eating for a day.
To a certain extent, this town still retains some of its post-war appearance, and if you go back more than 20 years, there is still synthetic food to eat in the 17th district.
Now the biggest problem arises.
His current character is an experienced "adventurer" rather than a pampered civilian in the civil service, and if he is fine with a stove in a hotel for a day or two, if every day a luxury such as ingredients is brought to the town, it will sooner or later arouse everyone's suspicions.
At worst, this is likely to ruin the experience of other occupants.
"Wind Chime, I think it's time for us to think about this serious issue!"
After returning to the hotel, Song Lan decided to start the wind chimes to face this serious question together, "What will we eat in the future?" ”
Wind Chimes holds a packet of potato chips in his hand and chews it with relish.
As soon as Song Lan spoke, she handed the opened potato chips to the other party.
These are all brought by her from the second district, and there is still a lot of room to spare.
"It's called sitting and eating empty."
Song Lan glanced at the snacks piled up in the room, and her heart was full of a sense of crisis.
What made him even more aware of the crisis was that half of the guardian spirit's body also came out of the knife, and its huge claws poked into the snack bag, eating it with relish.
The room was brightly lit, and the two of them and one guardian sat around the table, quite a bit of fun.
"Sit and eat the mountain?"
"If we continue to eat so recklessly, these snacks will only last for less than three days at most."
Hearing this, the wind chimes and guardian spirits stiffened in a way that the synchronization rate was as high as 100%, and the potato chips in their hands suddenly became unfragrant.
She has a lot of clothes in the family, she can go to the high-end restaurants in the second arrondissement whenever she wants, so in her cognition, she has never had an in-depth understanding of the concept of "scarcity".
And now, Wind Chimes is aware of the seriousness of the problem," ...... So what to do? ”
The guardian spirit also looked at Song Lan with red eyes.
She has regarded Song Lan as one of the most trustworthy people, and everyone in the garbage dump has the same evaluation of Song Lan - when she encounters a problem that cannot be solved, she goes to Song Lan, and he can always think of a way.
Therefore, among the unknown insect swarms, Song Lan won the title of "Timely Rain" again.
The two of them also participated in the high-level meeting of the Void Paradise before they came, and the meeting specifically mentioned that in order to maintain the mystery of the Void Paradise, it is necessary to reduce the interaction between this place and the 17th District as much as possible, not only for the residents of the town, but also for the residents of the town, as the administrators, they must also lead by example, and they can't let others live in dire straits every day, but they eat and drink spicy food on the sidelines.
"We have to find a way to be self-sufficient!"
Song Lan said the purpose of the trip, and chewed the potato chips creaking by the way.
He is not the type who may have a shortage of food, so he divides a small amount of snacks into ten days and wrongs himself, he firmly believes that only after eating all the snacks can he fully stimulate people's potential.
"We need to build a farm, which can complete the fully automated production of robots or mutated creatures, which is located not far from the outskirts of the town, and can come here from time to time to sell ingredients, I think we can send a group of artificial intelligence to take care of the production line of the farm, and the excess ingredients can be sold to the residents of the town at a high price."
Once again, it has been proven that human potential is limitless.
In this way, not only does it solve the problem of food sources, but it also makes money from the townspeople, who sell the goods to the company at a high price with the wool of the void, and then the void uses the living materials and weapons to get back from them, which is undoubtedly a positive cycle of three wins.
The inhabitants not only earned money, but also raised their material level.
Not only did they make money, but they also solved the testing of biological samples and weapons samples.
The company not only invisibly invested in the construction of the town, but also won the reputation of "big fat sheep" and "big head".
Thinking of this, Song Lan suddenly felt that this world was full of love and warmth, and the future of the 17th district was bright.
"We'll go around early tomorrow morning to see if there's any place suitable for building an agricultural base."
"It's better to bring a fish pond with you."
Wind Chimes made his own request, "I like to eat fish. ”
