After taking a shower, put on new clothes.
The survivors who had finished venting seemed to be completely different people, walking lightly.
In the cafeteria, everyone’s eyes were opened again.
The ten windows neatly arranged cover almost most of the Chinese cuisines.
There are even meat dishes!
I saw boiled pork slices in the stall under the signboard with the words ‘Sichuan Food Restaurant’.
Cheng Fei's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt that the fantasy he had just had about the canteen on the road was a little too down-to-earth.
In his opinion, in such a cold and lonely winter, it is very good to have enough brown rice to eat.
At most, some wild vegetables mixed with rice, or the same dehydrated vegetables as in the instant bread.
This is the limit that the luxurious Tianyuan Territory can achieve at the moment.
"You...we, I mean, have this to eat every day?"
The chef apprentice player behind the window saw the experienced baby coming to the door, and stood up warmly and hospitably.
“Of course, as long as you pay, you can eat every day.”
“What if you don’t have money?”
“How can you have no money? As long as you go to work, you will have it. Money? ”
The chef answered honestly, but it sounded like he was answering the wrong question.
Cheng Fei had no choice but to shut up, honestly stretched out his magnetic card and swiped it, then ordered two bowls of meat and vegetables.
What a pity.
He wanted to use the bowl that was bigger than his head to serve food, but this guy agreed without hesitation.
And before leaving, he said with a smile, please add more if you don’t have enough.
"It's weird here!"
Sitting on the table in a daze, looking at the sumptuous meal in front of him, Cheng Fei's mind was full of questions.
If vegetarian vegetables can be grown from the ground, then it is impossible for meat to be grown from the ground, right?
Furthermore, it seems that with just one swipe of this small magnetic card, everything can be free.
What do they earn?
Cheng Fei asked himself, as long as he could eat such meals every day, he could maintain his current salary.
Even if you work for twelve, no, fifteen hours, you will make a lot of money!
But the reality is cruel. The survivors’ labor force cannot be exchanged for such generous treatment.
According to the pyramid-shaped structure, the laborers are undoubtedly the bottom layer of the pyramid.
It is difficult for these people to eat well, even if they are full.
Naturally, compared to the sweet and delicious instant noodles last night, it made people think about the instant noodles all night long.
Although this meal should be more sumptuous and more suitable for human life on earth.
But the vast majority of people eat without knowing the taste, and stop using their chopsticks just because they are worried about being full.
Out of the cafeteria, after most of the autumn construction, the outpost has now reached a certain size.
Unlike Chen Shen’s strict management during his reign, Qiao Yuansheng’s attitude towards the shelters in the southern suburbs of Qinggang City is relatively soft.
As long as you enter the security wall without carrying weapons, you must pay a sum of supplies or equivalent Tianyuan currency.
Gopher guys can purchase a shop in the outpost camp and have a temporary resting place.
Speaking of it, the gophers in the southern suburbs were not used to this at first, but after a while, it took a while.
These people were surprised to find that compared to the intrigues of transactions in the city.
It is a better choice to transport materials to this outpost camp for trading.
There are armed guards here who are responsible for security, ensuring that no one will bring a gun to interfere with the transaction.
At the same time, the rules of the outpost have made it clear that any behavior that disrupts the market will be prohibited.
If you exceed three times, you will be permanently blacklisted and will not be allowed to enter behind the security wall.
Under the severe punishment, everyone involuntarily put away those little tricks.
This winter, I have been more comfortable.
Of course, compared to trading, purchasing goods or cooperation from Tianyuan territory is still the main purpose.
From the opening of the market to now, the number of export goods from the territory has been growing almost every day.
Unlike the squabbles between major shelters, the machinery factory in Longteng Village can accept almost any order that is not difficult, especially those machinery orders that seem to have very thin profits.
Such as various small parts used to repair underground shelter pipes, or accessories used to replace wearing parts somewhere.
In the past, major shelters would support these things as long as they could, focusing on being out of sight and out of mind.
After all, when the machine tool is started for manufacturing once, the material consumption is second, and the loss of the machine tool is the largest.
And anyway, it only affects the lives of ordinary residents and will not affect the operation of the shelter.
Hold on, that’s it.
But now the situation has undergone some subtle changes.
When everyone discovered that Tianyuan Territory was selling these small parts and components at a very low price, even lower than their manufacturing cost price.
Small problems that I could tolerate before suddenly turned into big problems that urgently needed to be solved.
What on earth are they making?
More than one gopher guy from the southern suburbs had similar questions.
However, what they don’t know is that the seemingly low price in their eyes is actually a lot of profit for the Tianyuan Territory.
After all, the energy used in production is provided by energy stones, which is free and endless.
The materials used for production come from iron mines that could not be dug out in several years, and are completely cost-free transactions.
And after the factory started operating.
The provision of a large number of jobs has also led to the continued healthy and rapid development of the industry.
It is very similar to the development rhythm of China at the beginning of the century.
Currently, Tianyuan Territory is also on the path of using manpower to dilute costs and thereby make money and develop.
"What happened recently? Why are there so many new faces here?"
Looking at the survivors following the signs to the dormitory isolation area, the Blue Star Gopher guy in the store poked his head out , looking at it curiously.
"Are they refugees from outside? Or nomads who have migrated here?"
"I don't know, but... the managers here like to recruit refugees, and you didn't know that for the first time. ”
“Yes, they not only recruit the indigenous people, they also recruit us Blue Star people.”
"."
Perhaps it has been sealed underground for too long, and the gopher guys have not seen many new faces.
The perception of trade is also very slow and cannot smell business opportunities.
But those players who set up shop in the outpost are very knowledgeable about this.
“Brother, if you want to eat candied haws on a stick, I’ll buy you two skewers for your little sister.”
Noticing Cheng Fei looking at his cupboard, the shopkeeper sitting behind him quickly stood up with a smile and introduced.
"Sorry, we don't have any money yet."
"No money?" The shop owner was stunned for a moment: "Of course you have no money, don't you still have a job?"
< br>"Come on, come on, I'll give you a bunch. It's not too late to come and buy next time if you try it."
"Why is this so embarrassing?" Forget about the candied haws, and actually give you a bunch?
Having been numbed too many times, Cheng Fei became thick-skinned now and took a bunch from the shop owner.
"Haha, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. We will be our own people from now on. By the way, where did you come from in the New World?"
Cheng Fei replied honestly road.
“We are coming from the north.”
"North?"
The shop owner was surprised: "It will take a long time to walk, at least five thousand kilometers?"
Five thousand kilometers?
Cheng Fei smiled bitterly: "It's not just five thousand, it's at least seven thousand, or even eight thousand kilometers."
"That's really amazing."
The shop owner took a breath and couldn't help but admire the perseverance of his compatriots.
It has been more than four months since the migration started.
Even if these people set out from the beginning, based on one hundred and twenty days, they would still have to walk 60 kilometers a day.
According to normal people walking four kilometers per hour, it usually takes at least fifteen hours to walk.
This is not something that ordinary people can persevere in. They are almost catching up with the numbers of the Long March!
"Brother, what do you call me? I will definitely come to you to buy more strings when I get rich in the future."
"You can just call me Tang Shui Shop. Don't be surprised. In our territory, most people call me They are all nicknames on the world channel, you will know later."
"Okay, my name is Cheng Fei!"
Compared with the names on Earth, I got them in the wasteland. Nicknames can better reflect the character and purpose of the person who gave the name.
Leave the shop step by step, and wait until the two of them arrive at the dormitory area.
I already carried a lot of snacks or small things given by the shopkeepers.
“The people here are so hospitable!”
I have seen a lot of intrigues between people outside, and when I suddenly came here, I obviously felt out of place.
"Well, they should be doing route missions?"
Lin Cheng knew a little more about the Hell Flower Virus because he often browsed the World Channel to learn about the Hell Flower Virus.
But even if it is for the mission, it still cannot hide the true intentions of these people.
From the brief exchange, they can truly feel the kindness released by every shop owner.
“Hey, brother, why did you come here just after finishing your meal?”
In front of the gate of the isolation accommodation area, Lin Yin had already been waiting in front of the fence gate with Cheng Ma and Liu Na .
Compared with other unfinished buildings in the outpost, the isolation accommodation area should be the first to be built.
The neat two-story buildings are connected in several rows. According to the scale, it can easily accommodate at least several thousand people.
The group stepped inside and quickly found accommodation under the arrangements of the staff.
Yeah, numb again.
A dormitory is fifteen square meters in size and accommodates eight people.
Although the bed is made up of iron frames, it looks like the configuration on a construction site.
But the neat white bedding felt soft to the touch, making people moan in comfort as soon as they lay down.
At the same time, each person is also equipped with a small square table that can be placed on the bed.
There is a bound book with at least 300 pages on the square table. When you open it, you will see that it is full of various topics.
"In the next three days, apart from eating, sleeping and washing, your most important task is to answer questions."
The staff who led everyone to find beds said.
"This collection of questions covers a wide range of topics, including survival issues in wilderness exploration and fighting with people, as well as traditional basic issues on the earth such as astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc., as well as mechanical manufacturing. Electrical engineering, engineering mechanics, electronic information, biotechnology and other professional issues."
"The final score will not affect your subsequent treatment, so we do not restrict you from discussing issues in private. Answer. ”
“But if you want to find the most suitable position and route in the territory, we recommend that you think about the answers to these questions yourself, and you will not leave them blank or leave them blank. "
"Okay, you can have a rest tonight. The toilets are in the last two dormitories in each row. "
Sitting on the bed to answer the questions?
You have to complete the question set with at least seven or eight thousand questions within three days.
If you were a survivor who had just traveled through time, you might still have some complaints about this.
But for some refugees who have walked more than seven or eight thousand kilometers, this is simply a joy!
After the staff left, the eight people in the dormitory breathed a sigh of relief.
They are so scared.
I was worried that after three days, this territory would screen them out again and continue wandering.
Looking at the attitude of the staff, I finally put down my snacks. At least I have something to do in the past three days.
“Lord, isn’t the treatment we give them too good?”
Tianyuan Dungeon, second floor manager’s office.
There were six figures sitting on the sofa in the small living room, looking at the picture projected on the wall.
These probes set up in outpost camps completely recorded the changes in the mentality of the survivors.
From the excitement of receiving the inspection at the beginning, to the confusion and panic after receiving the supplies.
From the hysterical venting in the bathroom, to the incomparable joy after coming out.
From the tasteless food in the cafeteria to the dormitory area feeling uneasy.
The mentality of the survivors is constantly being provoked by the treatment, arousing emotions and thus bringing about thinking.
The treatment is too good?
Hearing Li Hu, the guard captain, ask this, Marshal Wang, the head of Longteng Village, was the first to shake his head.
"Compared with their current treatment, the difficulties encountered along the way are probably several times greater."
The distance between the thousands of miles of mountains and the Tianyuan territory is only two thousand kilometers.
Even if you count the trek over mountains and ridges, it is still incomparable to the hardships these survivors endured on their journey of thousands of miles.
"It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to give embers in the snow."
"Once we let them know the situation in our territory, giving them these benefits will not be as effective as attacking them all at once." Village Chief Qiao Yuansheng also said.
“That’s right.” Minister of Materials Shen Ke agreed, and then added with some worry:
“We made them owe money from the beginning, and also restricted their Will the income affect their mood at work? ”
From rescue services to returning to the territory, to receiving these examinations, treatment, food, accommodation and other projects.
All the survivors basically owed hundreds of copper coins, and some even owed as much as two hundred copper coins.
Calculated based on the median salary of a newcomer being 17 copper coins, excluding daily meals and accommodation, there should be about one copper coin left in the end.
With this calculation, it will take at least half a year, or even longer, to pay off the debt.
"Whether it will affect it is not yet clear."
Looking at Somo who had not spoken in the field and only looked at the screen with interest.
Dean Qiao opened his mouth and said softly: "Don't worry, this is an attempt. We can't let every new person who enters the territory involve the old man indefinitely. Of course, maybe this is a good thing in the short term. It can greatly improve our productivity, but when there are 100,000 or 200,000 people, do we want to see 200,000 people rush into the money-making industry?"
"Use debt? To build a pyramid, the salary level determines the climbing method to ensure that the residents in the territory can unite to form a solid structure. "
"Such a chaotic wasteland."
"We have to make sure that there are people who are willing to go to the factory to accept low wages, that there are people who are willing to work hard in the fields to stabilize production, and that there are people who go out to fight, right?"
