Chapter 8: The Evil Gate's Tech Tree

Li Jianghao didn't care about Bernard's ridicule at all, the mess in the Winter House was worse than the worst situation that Bernard could imagine, and just said lightly: "I have to let them live." ”

"Why?"

"Courage in the face of difficulties, and loyalty to humanity. When you betrayed us, you also betrayed your sons. ”

Li Jianghao turned to leave, leaving Bernard alone tied up in the control room, guarded by a worker outside the door. Even if the crisis is resolved, he is still a little uneasy about this old guy.

Early the next morning, most of the people gathered under the energy tower, and there were no different resources from the beginning of the new home script in the game, this world is obviously more considerate of the real situation, the power tower that was not turned on reserved for coal and wood to build tents, and these migrants also carried food and luggage with them, so as not to brush up on the dissatisfaction value due to hunger and illness at the beginning.

Li Jianghao stood on the steps set up with boxes in front of the tower, looking at his citizens. As in the game, workers are assigned to collect resources scattered in low-lying areas, while coal is collected by a small number of people and wait for the night to open the tower, which is also time for the engineers to further maintain the tower.

At the same time, Andrew was called to his side and began to think about the workstation. In response to the impending apocalyptic crisis, the world's three most powerful industrial nations have designed standard manufacturing systems that can quickly process resources into building parts that can be erected in a matter of hours. Although until now, Li Jianghao has not understood what scientific principles such a powerful technology relies on.

However, considering that the materials in this world were destroyed by a blizzard of minus 150 degrees, and after quickly rising to a suitable temperature, they could maintain stable physical properties, so he didn't bother much about the technology tree.

Andrew took Li Jianghao to the three tents that had been built yesterday, and said to the drawings in his hand:

"Sir, you see, the fixed steel structure and the cloth are pressed with wood, which can avoid the metal abrasion on the cloth and maintain sufficient stability. As long as the temperature is not too cold, this tent is very suitable for living. It's that in a few days people will have to have their own shelter and they will no longer be able to huddle together. People get sick when they're working in cold weather, and it's terrible if people over-gather together to get infected. ”

Li Jianghao pretended to listen very clearly, and at the same time clicked on the reward of another world empire that he received yesterday in his mind, the simplified version of the empire's standard building template.

He was dazzled by the wide variety of building categories, and almost slipped and fell on the soles of his feet. Andrew hurriedly helped the mayor, thinking that Li Jianghao's injury yesterday was not healed, and said with concern: "Sir, we can go back to the room and sit down and talk first." As you instructed, the infirmary has been prioritized in gathering resources, and some simple medical appliances have been made in the works. Soon we will be able to heal you. ”

"Not for the time being, you go get busy first, I'll just sit here for a while"

Li Jianghao shook his head, opened Andrew first, and then waited for the dizziness in his mind to fade, and began to browse the building categories quickly. Many of them are off-white and ununlocked, and some of the buildings are not even available in this world. Aside from a few special options, only the bottom few buildings in the list are open, including the option called "Standard Frontier Planet Adaptation Tent", which requires resources such as wood and steel.

He looked at the center of the list, and an option called STC (Standard Manufacturing Template) shimmered slightly, allowing him to involuntarily focus on the past:

"The world recognition has been updated to a template for the manufacture of steam engines for the universal use of the Icefield World. Material Required: Steam Core X1. The steel can be processed into self-heating steam engines and supporting conveyor stations. It travels on a track and accumulates power by burning snow while transferring heat through a conduit. ”

When he saw that this thing didn't burn coal, but snow, Li Jianghao knew that this thing was what he needed. Although I don't know what kind of ghost technology can use snow as a resource, I can cross it myself, and I still care about the laws of physics.

He immediately chose this template, but the next moment his mind went black, and the entire complete imperial building template was only the building technology tree extended by this general-purpose steam engine and a few of the most basic building options.

"Damn, I haven't finished reading it yet! System, system, you say something, I haven't chosen the rest yet! ”

Li Jianghao wanted to scold the street, but to no avail, there was no answer in his head, this system has neither a surprising character nor the image of a beautiful sister, it is just a pure machine, according to the conditions of completion, to carry out its actions.

"Mr. Mayor, I, my toy car was broken by you."

A weak voice sounded, Li Jianghao's consciousness returned to his body, he was excited just now, and he stomped down and guessed the toy cart that the children were pushing and playing in the tent. It was a rudimentary model of a steam locomotive made of wood, the interior was even empty, and the wheels were irregular little wooden blocks. It is the only remaining entertainment tool for children.

Li Jianghao looked at this little girl with a flushed face, a little overwhelmed. The other children were frightened by what he had just done, and only this little girl came up.

"Aren't you afraid of me? Forehead... Fanny? Li Jianghao asked tentatively, thinking about the child's name.

Fanny's voice trembled a little, obviously not really not afraid, and said, "Dad said that Mr. Mayor saved our lives yesterday, and Mr. Mayor is a good person." ”

The background here is not the civilized society of the 21st century, and adults will have fear and awe of the officials of an empire. However, Li Jianghao didn't plan to turn himself into a cold machine, wouldn't it be the same as the evil sect system in his head.

Li Jianghao tried to make himself laugh, this face was a little different from his previous body, some facial muscles were a little difficult to control, and after a while, he spoke:

"I'll let Andrew fix it, but kids, you don't have to be afraid of me. You are citizens of the Empire, the hope of the future, and a member of my citizens. Tomorrow I will order the construction of a children's shelter, where you don't have to work, you don't have to huddle with adults, but you have to study. My mission is to keep you all alive. And your mission, which I am giving in the name of the mayor at this moment, is so that the people here can live better in the future! ”

Li Jianghao never thought that he would say these words one day without changing his face, but the children were innocent, they listened to Li Jianghao's words, behaved one by one, and tried to prove their role, which made Li Jianghao very happy.

At least for now, things are going in a good direction, aren't they?

He shouted, "Andrew, come here, I have something for you." ”
