Chapter 44 We are not gods

After confirming the plan, Qin Chuan returned to the research institute with great interest to study the solid hydrogen bomb. Looking at his expression as if he was picking up a treasure, Chen Jiu wondered whether he wanted to use that thing as a trap or simply to use it as a trap.

It just brings out the researcher’s nature.

After all, if you are engaged in scientific research and see a high-tech product in a game that is absolutely impossible to appear in reality, you will subconsciously pick it out and take a look.

——

In other words, blow one up and see.

I just hope he doesn't collapse the institute.

Although according to the design of the disaster recovery center, the institute, including the particle reconstruction system, can withstand a direct blast of more than 50 tons of TNT, but if he blows up the living area, he will really have no place to sleep.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but take a look at the infrastructure progress of the outpost camp.

Under the leadership of Chong Niang, the heating system has become the most smoothly progressed project in this base. Now the entire camp has completed the excavation of all 4X4 trenches, and has begun to use dry firewood for sintering.

After these works are completed, all trenches will be capped, and a so-called "earth dragon" heating system can be completed.

This thing was very common in ancient palaces. Now Chongniang designed a simplified version, but even so, the complex smoke exhaust and heat conduction layout still took a lot of time for the refugees.

Fortunately, it's all worth it.

Even without a roof, the flames burning all day long have greatly increased the temperature of the camp, making this area the only dry, warm, and snow-free area in the Ten Thousand Cave Forest.

Chen Jiu even heard some refugees complain that the fire was too bright and it was too hot during the day.

However, no matter how hot it is, it cannot stop.

According to Chong Niang’s plan, since there are no insulated hollow bricks yet, he adopted the simplest and crudest strategy:

Bake all the top soil in the entire area.

In this way, the gaps in the soil can act as a good thermal insulation, preventing heat from being transferred downwards along the moist soil and wasting heat value.

Those engaged in civil engineering still do a lot of tricks.

——

But speaking of it, whether it is hollow bricks or refractory bricks, they need to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Although the work of collecting soil was interrupted by the tiger, the threat in that area has been completely eliminated now. Next time we go there, everything should go smoothly.

In addition to the infrastructure work, the base's food reserves have also increased slightly. There are 640 kilograms of dried meat left, and there has been an increase in buckwheat, bitter rice, and nuts, all of which were collected by the refugees during the process of cutting down trees.

However, the increase in food reserves does not mean that the food crisis is weakening.

According to Shuanghe's information, those villagers who "completely abandoned Xiahe Village" had half of their food taken away. In other words, the food gap in the entire camp expanded from one and a half months to nearly three months.

This is a huge hidden danger, but the good thing is that these refugees no longer have any reason to refuse to go out to collect.

Crisis can bring people together, which is not a bad thing for a camp that has not yet completed ideological unification.

Therefore, taking all conditions into account, the camp’s mission in the next month has become extremely clear:

Kill crampons, sweep buckwheat fields, collect everywhere, and build infrastructure!

Chen Jiu sent these tasks one by one to Shuanghe, who would write specific tasks according to the game structure, and the item "Building the Divine Furnace" was specifically designated as an "optional task" by him.

The plan could not keep up with the changes. Now that these refugees have no escape route, creating a "miracle" becomes less urgent.

However, miracles are not urgent, ideological construction is still needed

Just as he was thinking about what kind of thinking he should use to unite the refugees, some dark shadows vaguely appeared in the forest in the distance.

Chen Jiu squinted his eyes and saw that the person walking at the front was none other than Lin Wen, who had triggered the conflict in Xiahe Village.

At this time, the confusion and fear on the other person's face when he first met him were completely gone, replaced by determination and determination.

Oh?

Has the transformation been completed so soon?

Chidi really trains people!

——

No, they are the work trainers at the camp.

Lin Wen also noticed Chen Jiu standing at a high place. He walked forward quickly and said:

"Leader Chen, I brought them back."

"There are 34 people in total. In addition to the original refugees, their families are also here this time."

"We only brought back half of the food, which was not enough for us to survive the ice wave."

"But please don't worry, starting from today, all of us will be out gathering and hunting."

"In addition, Xiahe Village may be harmful to the camp, but we will fight them to the end."

"We will take responsibility for our own survival, and we will fight side by side with you!"

Chen Jiu looked at Lin Wen in surprise and asked subconsciously:

"are you ready?"

Lin Wen nodded solemnly and replied:

"From this moment on, we will always be ready!"

"Okay! Very energetic! Now, gather everyone together, I have something to announce."

Lin Wen nodded and turned around to greet everyone to gather, while Chen Jiu sent a message in the channel:

"Come and watch the plot, I triggered a cutscene!"

A few minutes later, all members of the camp gathered in the open space in the middle of the camp. Chen Jiu and the other four stood at the highest point, facing the refugees below, solemnly putting their hands on their chests.

Then, Chen Jiu gave instructions to Shuanghe and started the cutscene.

Lines of subtitles appear in front of the player, and the one who really speaks is Chen Jiu.

"The victims on the red earth!"

"I have received the message from the mountain."

"This is a sad message."

"Today, you have completely lost your home. The ruthless village tore off its last disguise and abandoned you in this wilderness."

"This abandonment has been planned for a long time. In fact, the outcome was already doomed when you first walked into Ten Thousand Caves Forest."

"They have no sympathy for you. Even after taking away half of your food, they threatened to destroy the home you built with great difficulty."

"This is intolerable arrogance and intolerable indifference."

"Even if it's on bare ground, it's enough to be called a crime."

"We are heartbroken by what happened to you, and we can't wait to punish the guilty."

"But unfortunately, if we rely solely on our own strength, the soil that breeds evil will never be removed."

"So, I ask you to stand with us."

"Stand together with us, fight against those cruel evil people, and build a homeland that is unique to us."

"We need you, we need every one of you."

"The power of an individual is very small, but when we all stand together, our power will become invincible!"

"Perhaps, at this time, you will question this."

"Perhaps you may question, can the strength of less than 40 people really compete with the large population and powerful Xiahe Village?"

"Perhaps you will question, we are facing a food shortage of up to several months, can we really survive this terrifying ice wave?"

"My answer is: without a doubt."

"Because our people have done all this."

"They rebuilt their home from the ruins, and used their hands, their axes, sickles, and hammers to forge a civilization that stood at the top."

"And the name of this civilization is called Huaxia."

"Yes, we are the remnants of the Gods you call us."

"But I want to say that the so-called gods are not real gods."

"Our ancestors are just like you. They are not monks or strangers, they are just the most ordinary mortals on the red earth."

"However, many of them, with their mortal bodies, have created great deeds that can rival the gods."

"And now, it's our turn."

"On this red land, I will work with you to restore the glory of the Chinese Protoss!"
