Chapter 43 Draft Public Facilities
Heavy machine guns, mortars, etc. are not so easy to get, and even if Laura can get weapons, it is not easy to replenish ammunition. Although she usually buys weapons, they are mainly pistols, mainly for self-defense, unlike Davy, who stockpiles weapons for a possible war.
"If Steve hadn't slept for seventy years, he might have been able to get those things for you; Or think of a way to get Peggy back, a world war going on in her world. ”
slapped David's dishonest hand away, and Laura, who got up to get dressed, complained about David's thoughts by the way: "And building a bunker or something, it's not necessary at all, right?" Even if anyone wants to attack Winter Village, with the strength of Steve, Peggy, and Fordin, it can be easily solved. ”
"I'm here to make sure nothing happens." Steve may not be in the village, but Peggy and Fording rarely go back to Azeroth, and the other can't go back to their own world, mainly staying in Winter Village, with the strength of these two, ordinary threats will not hurt the village at all.
In addition to these two, the old hunter Ardis is not an ornament, not to mention Sharon Rogers, the second-generation Captain America...... Although this one has not officially taken over the title of Team America.
When I got up and dressed, I heard Laura say, "I'll go back!" He ran away, knowing that Laura had gone home to take a shower, and that he could only wash in a relatively primitive way at Winter Village.
"Perhaps the most important thing to build in the village is not a well, but a piped water system." Installing a pumping machine and water filtration equipment on the bank of the Winter River, connecting it to the village with pipes, and building a water tower or something, is it a relatively rudimentary tap water system, right?
"Can I talk to Mark?"
"Discuss with me what?"
David opened the door and prepared to go out as he muttered, but he happened to bump into Mark, who seemed to be about to knock on the door.
"You came out just in time, this is the material that has been determined after thinking about it, and I need Laura's help to prepare." Mark handed Davy a piece of paper full of words in his hand, "I'm worried I'm going to disturb you." ”
"Laura went home." I took the paper full of various materials, looked at it twice, and then picked it up: "I'll hand it over to her when she comes back." ”
"That's right......" Mark didn't ask Laura what she was doing running home early in the morning. He also does similar things every day, waking up early and going directly to the Mars base: "What did you just say you wanted to discuss with me?" ”
"On the question of water."
"Aren't you going to dig a well? I've looked around the village, and there are a few places where it should be possible to dig wells. David had told him about this before, and Mark had been studying this matter in addition to taking care of the farmland these days.
"I think it's better to have a running water system."
“……”
Mark blinked, feeling that the village chief's thinking had changed too quickly, and he couldn't keep up with the other party's rhythm, why did he suddenly change from digging a well to building a running water system? Do you play SimCity games? And isn't your civilization span too big?
David ignored Mark's eyes full of question marks and said his thoughts directly: "Do you think it's feasible?" ”
"This plan is quite feasible." Mark realized that he had made a mistake, and that the water system that David was going to build was not the kind he thought would build a waterworks and then connect pipes to every household. The river water is simply filtered and transported to the village's water storage facility, which the villagers then go to collect water from the storage facility themselves.
In this case, it is not very difficult, and the real trouble is still the laying of pipes. Laying a pipe from the river to the village is not an easy task, and it is best to have a mechanical aid to complete this work quickly.
But when you think about Ferdin, Steve, it seems that these heavy tasks are not too difficult things to solve for David's village.
"Then I'll think about what equipment I need to buy, make a list and give it to Laura."
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you." David patted Mark on the shoulder, the only 'scientist' in front of him in the village, and David would ask Mark about things like this.
"I'm a botanist again."
"I know, Mark!"
"Forget it, I'll go see how the wheat grows." Mark knew that if there were similar questions, David would still come and ask him, so he stopped dwelling on this matter and went about his own business: "Jenny Turtle, let's go!" ”
Beckoning to Jenny Turtle who was waiting on the sidelines, Mark went to inspect a few fields, watering and weeding as they were looking, and digging some soil nearby to make some observations.
In the past few days, he had noticed that the land around Rinwinter Village had undergone some inconspicuous changes, and he was very interested in this miraculous phenomenon and wanted to figure out what was going on.
David didn't know what Mark was mainly busy with lately, he only knew that Mark was farming, planting in Winter Village, planting on Mars, and by the way, he was also working as his own technical advisor to solve all kinds of technical problems.
"Obviously, in my previous life, I liked to play farming and construction games." As a result, when I really built a territory for myself, I realized that it was too difficult.
You can't actually build a territory like when you play a game, you can build a building with a mouse click; If you want a well, you can dig it with a click, and there is no restriction on location.
The same is true of the water system, where the water plant is built with one click, and then a few more clicks are followed as prompts, and the water network covering thousands of people is laid – in reality, it is difficult for him to even have a running water pipe for his house, let alone connect every household in the village.
"At present, the most reliable is the construction plan of centralized management." In addition to public toilets and running water, David thought of cafeterias and bathhouses, and then of roads.
Of course, there is no hurry for the next few items for the time being, and after the farmers have completed the reclamation of the farmland, they will build the same thing.
As for how to get farmers to contribute labor, this is not a difficult task.
Although the five indentured farmers are only responsible for the employer's farming according to the contract, as long as the employer does not object to them, they can take on other jobs, and David can completely 'hire' these people to do other work and complete the construction of various facilities in the village.
The other three yeoman farmers can also be hired, even if they will soon become indentured farmers of Samantha's mother and son, but Samantha should not refuse the employment from the village chief, and it is not good for her to work against the village chief.
He took out the notebook that he was used to carrying with him at any time, and he was writing and drawing, even if he noticed someone standing beside him, he didn't stop.
After writing down everything that came to mind in a notebook, and drawing a few bird's-eye views to think about where to build various facilities, and making sure that nothing was missing, he turned his head to look at the side.
"Good morning, Steve."
"Morning, David." Steve, still wearing very old-fashioned clothes and pants, greeted David and sat down: "You were planning the village just now?" ”
"Yes." This is nothing to be seen, David handed the notebook directly to Steve: "Do you want to take a look?" ”
"No, you don't." In fact, with Steve's eyesight and memory, he had already memorized all the contents of the notes just now, when he was saving Bucky, he only looked at it for a few seconds and wrote down all the coordinates of the location of the Hydra factory on the map: "I saw you wrote tap water in the notebook?" ”
That's what he was curious about, and although he had only been in Winter Village for a few days, and half of that time was spent in his own universe, he felt that he already knew enough about Winter Village: wasn't this a relatively backward ancient village? The people here also live a relatively primitive life of farming, fishing and hunting.
In this environment, the word tap water seems very incompatible.
Saying his thoughts again, Steve also understood David's thoughts: "That's it! Sounds good, maybe I can help. ”
He knew that the job would be good for everyone in the village, and he had a lot of energy to vent now, so even before David could speak, Steve offered to help.
"If there's something you need to contribute, I'm not going to be polite to you." David closed the notebook and put it away: "You've been in the village for a few days, what do you think of me here?" ”
Because two of the three captains couldn't leave at will, and because several of them 'knew each other', David didn't rush to talk to a few people too much, and was ready to talk to them after they settled down in the village and got used to life here.
So even if Steve didn't take the initiative to talk to him today, David was ready to find a chance to talk to the other party, and now the other party took the initiative to find him, which was convenient for David.
"Very quiet and peaceful village, the people here are very friendly." Steve, who was originally very serious, had a rare smile on his face: "To be honest, I thought that God thought that I shouldn't continue to stay in that world, so he brought me to this place so that I could enjoy my old age in peace." ”
"Enjoy your old age...... Isn't it too early to think about retirement? David looked at Steve's youthful face and thought Steve's words were too strange, even though he knew why the other party said that.
"Is it early? I'm in my 90s. Steve shook his head, he was also speechless about this situation, after all, no one could accept it, and when he opened his eyes, he actually became an old man.
"Haven't you been frozen and asleep for seventy years? So strictly speaking, you are only in your twenties, and the great youth is still waiting for you! David comforted him casually: "Moreover, for some special existences, more than ninety years old is not too old. ”
"I shouldn't be anything special, am I?"
"Becoming a super soldier through experiments with a low success rate, getting the title of Captain America, and waking up after being frozen for seventy years after a crash...... Trust me, you're very special. ”
