A Will Eternal Chapter 287
Whether it is respect or fear, it can bring bonuses in obedience.
This is good.
On the seventh day in Merrick City, the weather was still good, with an average temperature of minus 28 degrees and winds of grade 3-4.
Kane requested that the focus of the work be on the dismantling of the original facilities in the town and the pre-preparation of certain projects.
Although not yet acquired, he already counts six steam robots in his grand scheme of things.
So he is not in a hurry to collect scattered resources now, especially those buried in ice. It is more economical to let steam robots dig ice than energy-intensive ice mining.
Kane, who has always been stingy, finally created a small miracle on this day.
After a series of construction and demolition, people suddenly discovered that the materials were not used much, but the facilities were remodeled and moved, and a few very good new facilities were built as a surplus.
The performance of the existing energy towers, workstations, and living tents has been significantly improved.
The collection station, medical station, canteen, hunting hall, public bath, and clothing room (usually laundry) are all new additions. The six major facilities have greatly improved the livability of this town.
It can be said that under the leadership of Kane, people have rebuilt the old and made the new, one material, two materials have been done, and both things have been done beautifully.
sharp!
To use an oriental description: a clever daughter-in-law who knows how to live, such a housekeeper cannot be dissatisfied.
Kane also had a good time.
Up to now, except for the energy tower, other facilities in this city have been moved, and the layout has changed drastically. It may look messy, but that's okay, as more facilities are populated, the correctness and benefits of the facilities in place will become apparent time and time again.
A sub-project was also completed today, which is to add a set of wood processing equipment to the collection station.
With this function, qualified wood, as well as wood chips and wood powder, which are raw materials for briquettes, are available.
Originally, the people here used a considerable part of the wood as sleepers, which are non-slip and insulated from the cold. Kane scrapped that approach.
These timbers are all shipped from thousands of miles away, and they are not produced locally, so we use a little less scarce resources,
Underfoot? Thanks to those thugs who thought of it, I stepped on the cinders for me, and made a fuss about the boots if they thought it was cold.
Make the boots openable for toasting, dryness is an important condition for keeping warm.
Poor warmth retention? Then you don't know what 'Mao Gadeng' is. Snow boots made of felt, with this kind of big-toed shoes on the outside of the boots, there is nothing wrong with it except for the key point.
Where does the felt come from? Waste clothes plus fur scraps, there is no chemical fiber in this era, it is either wool or cotton, and it is dismantled and blended for weaving and pressing. This kind of material does not directly contact the skin, and it does not matter if it is rough.
The saved wood is mainly for the manufacture of commonly used utensils. The weather is cold and metal utensils are used. If you are not careful, they will freeze and stick, and the skin can be torn off directly. Kane does not want to make such low-level mistakes and stop working.
Later in the day, a proposal was made to build insulated toilets.
Kane refused directly. Occupying the latrine and not shitting? Don't even think about it! The toilets in the polar regions must have the effect of urinating with a stick and hitting the ice with a stick at the same time. Doomsday can’t afford toilet culture, and don’t want to use excrement to escape laziness!
"Have some snacks, the threat of death is approaching day by day. As long as you work hard, when it's too cold outside to hold people, we can stay in the house, drink a little wine, warm up and chat. Yes, you heard me right, There will be wine, and there will be bars. As long as you can continue to follow my requirements, do your work well, and don't delay the progress, all of this will happen."
There are thousands of difficulties, and persistence is the most difficult.
It's only been a few days, and people are relaxing.
Kane slandered: "These British thugs are more short-sighted than little squirrels. Now that they have enough food and clothing, and see that there is a surplus of fuel and food, they don't want to work hard. They really forgot to die."
Of course, there are strong players among the strong, and there are even more sluts among the cheap.
For example, homeless, or vagabonds.
It's the ten or so people I met in the daytime on the 6th, those who dared to play robbery with seven or eight earth guns. There are also those who don't pretend to be dead. These people were originally from various refuges, and they were displaced for various reasons.
Yes, you are suffering, you have been betrayed, you have been played with.
and then? What's the matter if you can't live or die?
This is really what Mr. Qian Zhongshu described in "The Besieged City". How many people think that Greenland is the other side of happiness. In order to be able to come, they have done so many things that violate their conscience and self-esteem, just for the possibility of being able to leave. The result is a multimillion-dollar mass cemetery in Durness Bay.
And what about the people here? All kinds of this is wrong, that is tasteless, mushroom Lanju (want to cry and feel uncomfortable), what kind of trouble is this? How can you be so hypocritical in front of the catastrophe? Who is this pretending for? Are you really waiting for God's justice?
Kane really didn't understand, he thought it was purely a question of IQ. A bunch of heartless people.
"Let's go! Let's go! If you want to survive, you have to work. God's family doesn't have any food left. Now we don't have much food. The extreme cold is coming, and we will freeze and starve to death!"
I have to say that this period of time is really suitable for hunting. After all, animals also have survival instincts. The climate in the south is horrible and not suitable for survival, so the animals migrated to the north with all their strength.
It is true that many animals have died, but more were driven to the north by the disaster climate.
Therefore, on the tundra, which is tens of degrees below zero, there are also wolves running around, which is quite lively.
This is also why Kane scolded those robbers before. If you want to dawdle, you can wander on the tundra, waiting for the end to come. A bunch of really poor people are still playing robbery like others. I really thought it was zero profit and zero risk?
On the eighth day, the weather was still not bad, with minus 29 degrees and a wind of force 4-5. With the equipment of the people in Merrick City, they can live in Hold outdoors.
Kane set this day as a hunting day. Tomorrow will depend on the situation. If the situation is good, we will hunt another day. Then some hunting tools will be eliminated and destroyed.
The sophistication of weapons and equipment can be unlocked, but the quantity should be controlled. At least it must be effectively controlled. As the saying goes, Jiu Zhuang is cowardly, the more ordinary people are, the more disproportionate they are when they get angry. If they happen to be able to get weapons easily, they will dare to cause any disaster. So this kind of stuff that doesn't know how to play, stay away from sharp weapons, it's good for yourself and others.
As for being bullied and bullied, it’s really just a trivial matter. Bullies are still bullies without weapons. Most of them know what’s going on, and they know when to play. Going too far, after all, evil and daring to die are actually two concepts, the former is very dependent on the psychological use of the bullied object.
In fact, there are a few rascals in Merrick. If there is no robbery incident, Kane will probably take one of them.
Kane had worked as a town sheriff in the mission world, so he knew how to run a small town.
Sometimes a town cannot live without bedbugs, and a town without bedbugs is prone to evil. Of course, this is on the premise that there are no well-meaning political commissars engaged in spiritual civilization construction (brainwashing).
What's wrong? How evil is it? The town in {Hot Blood} starring Simon Pegg.
Torture is not a good way to manage a small town. As Tony Stark said: "The best weapon is to use it once and never use it again. Like a nuclear bomb."
Using brutal means to punish the first violator has the best deterrent effect, but if there are too many, the effect will decrease. From this point of view, killing the bandit leader is a pretty good choice.
Kane was more willing to kill ruthless people, rather than the big guy who thought he was majestic, but was actually turned into a thug leader.
The kind of ruthless leader who can be ruthless to himself is the best target to kill. He can let people see what it means to have skin cramps and bruises, instead of being so uncreative by throwing himself off a cliff means of punishment.
It's a pity that there are not so many ruthless ones in this area, so we can only kill the early bird who dares to fight hard. Sure enough, those ruffians became better.
This was expected by Kane. The fact that these ruffians were able to hang out in New Cambridge instead of complaining and being tolerated by everyone showed that they hadn't lost their basic brains.
Specifically, Kane doesn't care too much about who's wife he cheated on, or who stole someone's ring and gave him gold teeth.
Just like what he said at the end of the barbecue banquet on the eighth day: "Merrick City belongs to all of us. If someone is hated by the majority of people one day, then he will be exiled and live on his own. Including me. I will write this rule into the Code."
Kane also announced another rule. He said: "In two days, the first phase of Merrick City's construction will be completed. Everyone will automatically get first-class citizens. Everyone's hard work and dedication will be rewarded by this." The city will bear in mind that those who join in the future, if they want to be treated as first-class citizens, they must show convincing achievements. This is the fairness of Merrick City."
The weather on the ninth day was not bad, the average temperature was minus 30 degrees, and the wind was a little bit strong, level 5-6.
Obviously, as the curtain of the sky advances, the climate is going downhill. The main manifestation is that the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the strong wind has caused a drop in temperature, and the weather will only get colder and colder.
On this day, Kane put on a play.
The play was called 'I remember a delivery truck somewhere. '
Afterwards, he took the technical team and spent more than 50 kilometers back and forth throughout the day to transport the six robots back.
The specific method is to go out in the airship and find the large steam wagon.
The so-called full set of acting, there is still the dead body of the fake driver in the truck, pretending to have encountered an extreme weather disaster, and even the people and the car were frozen here.
It was hard to find because it was buried in the snow, but then the snow was blown away by the wind, and Kane, who was driving the airship, discovered it.
This stalk is actually the stalk of the reindeer group that the hunting team picked up on the first day of hunting. The group of reindeer died in about February, and were buried in the snow for a while and then exposed.
Everyone in the technical team felt that this time it was developed. In fact, the most important thing is the steam core. That thing is too black and technological. There are only a few companies in the world that can manufacture it. Whether it is a car or a robot, it is scrap iron without it.
On this day, those who stayed in the city built the lighthouse.
The main components of this thing were also dug out from the material pile.
Not a lighthouse in the traditional sense, but a giant hot air balloon. It was released to an altitude of more than 200 meters, that is, more than 100 meters from the ground. The balloon pod was equipped with a windproof condenser, which can play the role of a lighthouse and can also measure wind direction and wind speed.
The fuel of this hot air balloon is gas. The coal mines near New London also have relatively rich gas reserves, so they did not snatch the gas from New Cambridge when they robbed.
Another use of gas is that people use it for lighting. People in this era do not use kerosene lamps or horse lanterns, but gas lamps, thick devices that look like a token, with a bulb embedded in it, with a ignition switch, and the brightness can be adjusted through the gas supply. Everyone will hang a column-shaped gas tank horizontally on the waist belt. Strong style features.
With the lighthouse in place, the search team can set off. Tom found like-minded teammates, but they didn't have an airship to use.
The main reason is that there is no kerosene available. Kane’s airship is running out of kerosene, which is only enough to fly a short distance within 30 kilometers, so it needs to be reserved for emergencies.
Kane promised them that he would dismantle a steam robot and build them a steam sled car. As long as there is a steam core, it can cooperate with the energy tower to store heat and run more than a hundred kilometers in one go without any problems.
