Chapter 171: Not Confused

Yu Xingye leaned against the wall of the rotunda and wandered in his thoughts. He didn't know how long it had passed before the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang sharply.

He lowered his head and took out his cell phone to turn off the alarm clock. When he looked up again, he didn't know when there was a large, worn-out iron door in the center of the hall. Lu Heng stood behind the door and greeted him calmly: "Xingye."

"Brother Heng." Yu Xingye walked over. He passed through the old iron door and entered the interior of the small villa from the backyard with few flowers and plants.

The layout of the small villa has undergone some changes. The kitchen was restored to its original appearance, and the small conference room was converted into a small study. One of the three treatment rooms remains, but staff has withdrawn nearby. The basement is still dominated by the information team. Although their staff have not evacuated, they rarely go upstairs.

Yu Xingye went to the kitchen refrigerator to get himself a can of cold drink, and then asked, "Where is our little ancestor? He hasn't come back yet?"

"We're landing tonight," Lu Heng said.

Wen Baizhou's series of anti-war works based on 2099 won another award. In the first half of the year, a curator contacted Lu Mao and wanted to create an anti-war themed exhibition of Wen Baizhou's works. A few days before the exhibition, At the opening, Wen Baizhou flew over.

When Yu Xingye heard this, he laughed at him: "I have been alone in my empty boudoir for three days. Aren't you bored staying in this house?"

Lu Heng took out a thick stack of documents from the coffee table and handed it to him expressionlessly: "I have a lot of work, and I'm not bored. The arrangement of the school's teaching plan for the second half of the year and the construction review of the bunker's ground living area are all here. You go back and keep an eye on it."

"So many... what kind of workaholic are you?" Yu Xingye said He took the file in a murmur and started reading it while drinking a cold drink.

It has been another two years since the ground living area in Yicheng was completed and the basic education school opened.

Their life in the past two years has been quite lively.

After the bunker was expanded, many survivors along the route had to come into the bunker.

Sheltering more people is the original intention of bunker construction. But the influx of so many people at the supply points along the route did add a lot of trouble to them.

But thankfully, after the above-ground living areas were established, a large number of people began to migrate to the ground. The vacated underground buildings were used to accommodate the incoming survivors, which was not a problem. Separate management of the two sides will also allow other survivors to adapt to the rules of Bunker 01 more quickly.

Not to mention the many extra tasks after getting on the ground, which also need to be shared by others.

Before building the above-ground living area, Wen Baizhou once made a trip to Yicheng No. 13 Bunker.

Although Chen Duo watched the sky get brighter, he also understood the difference between day and night. But he still remained extremely cautious and refused the proposal to live on the ground.

It wasn't until the ground living area in Bunker No. 01 was completely established that he knew what the "ground living area" Wen Baizhou had originally mentioned was.

He stood in the living area of ​​bunker No. 01 and observed Wen Baizhou suspiciously for a long time. Finally, he suppressed all the doubts in his heart and only asked Wen Baizhou about the trading chips in the living area on the ground.

Wen Baizhou didn't ask for anything else. He knew that Bunker No. 13 could not produce any technology more valuable than seawater desalination technology, so it was better to use the ground living area to bundle Bunker No. 13 into the car to facilitate future ecological restoration plans.

Unexpectedly, during the transaction, Chen Duan handed Wen Baizhou an old-fashioned electronic memory.

"I think you need this." Chen Du smiled and said, "This contains the research and development information of a kind of super carbon fiber. This company used to be in this park. It's a pity that none of us can continue its research."

Wen Baizhou looked at the electronic storage device blankly.

Chen Duxiao sighed: "Take it. This may be the only thing I can do for Brother Yang. There will be many things that require your help from Bunker 01 in the future."

His words were not polite. Moving people from underground to above ground is a long and lengthy project. There is too much work here, and we need to support each other to continue.

The first major issue before us is the basic education of the children after the ground living area is established.

There is only a thin layer of land between them, but the skills required for life underground and above ground are completely different.

Because what they will face is a completely different new world.

Teacher Qi had been worrying about this matter for a long time and visited countless old people in the bunker who had come from before the war. But it was Xing Shu who finally solved this problem.

Xing Shu trained a batch of intelligent educational robots equipped with preschool education and primary school education modules and sent them to Yicheng No. 01 bunker.

The children were so curious about the new teacher with pointy ears that they wished they could start classes that same day. Teacher Qi observed the educational robots for half a month and listened to their lectures one by one, and finally felt confident to put these educational robots into the school, allowing them to cooperate with other teachers in the school to provide primary education to the children.

"If it weren't for the robots, I guess all of us would have been arrested to give lectures." Yu Xingye felt panic when he thought of this scene.

Speaking of robots, Yu Xingye asked, "Fenrir is on patrol outside the bunker. Is the person who went out with the little ancestor this time also a robot?" "

Yes." Lu Heng nodded, "A special combat robot."

The AI ​​built into the robot It is an AI trained by aerospace warriors and has full experience in dealing with any possible danger.

In addition, there was an aerospace warrior selected from the aerospace combat force who followed Wen Baizhou abroad as an assistant.

But the people Wen Baizhou met were all people from the art circle. They were not interested in what kind of assistant this famous young painter had replaced, but they were very concerned about the pointy-eared robot.

That robot has a very superior appearance, like an elf from a myth.

But the painter himself is a bit more refined and more powerful than the robot. Many people did not dare to talk to the young painter who was in great power, so they could only gather together and watch the painter whisper with his robot.

A gentle middle-aged curator walked up to Wen Baizhou and raised the champagne glass in his hand: "Bai Zhou, I really envy you. I have applied for this intelligent robot many times. There is no wheel. But you can already travel with one."

Wen Baizhou smiled: "If you want to customize a robot that is unique to you, you will have to wait for a long time."

He knew that the planner in front of him The exhibitor is a person who is very picky about visual effects. The robot he wants may even have to have a hair customized.

The middle-aged curator laughed and said: "You Long Xia are good at everything, but the face of the robot is not in line with my aesthetics." He said and glanced at Wen Baizhou's robot again, "This one of yours is enough. Exquisite. It's a pity that you Longxia people only give priority to your own people."

At this point, he became even more helpless: "Imigration is not open yet."

"You may consider going to Longxia for development. Many companies will give Their executives are equipped with smart home robots." Wen Baizhou laughed, "The company also has smart puppies responsible for security work." "

Then I'm afraid I will have to move the entire curatorial company there." The middle-aged curator laughed. He said, "But this is a really good idea. I will consider it."

After attending the last banquet, Wen Baizhou went directly to the airport without stopping.

When he landed after a long flight, there was a shuttle bus waiting for him outside the plane.

As soon as we left the airport, the driver smiled and said: "I applied for the route when I came out, and I started flight mode. If you are sleepy, Zhouzhou, just take a nap."

"No," Wen Baizhou responded with a smile, "If you walk in a straight line, it won't take long to get home."

He optimistically estimated the time it would take to get home, but he didn't expect that just five minutes after they took off, the car stereo started to sound. The voice in Yujing City's brain said: "Hello, owner of parking space number 607, we are about to enter the evening rush hour, please drive carefully." As soon as the

voice fell, cars took off one after another on the main road on the ground. Blue spotlights began to light up in the guardrail on the ground, and they drew long straight lines in the sky, which became the traffic track for the cars in the sky.

After a while, several streams of flying traffic appeared above the airport expressway, and the congestion on the ground expressway suddenly cleared.

"Fortunately, we applied for the channel in advance." The driver breathed a sigh of relief, "We have an exclusive air lane, so we don't have to squeeze with them."

The driver said, avoiding a car that suddenly took off: "Buy a dual-purpose car in the past two years. There are more and more people, and I think sooner or later we will have to open an air route to be enough."

"No way, whoever gives way to the road is the most convenient for empty-air vehicles." The assistant smiled, "At least it is not blocked by traffic."

Since before Two years after the release of the road-air vehicle, Long Xia immediately deployed air lanes. Basically solve the congestion problem fundamentally. Now even during the morning and evening rush hours, the traffic jam in Yujing will not last more than 20 minutes.

Wen Baizhou listened to their chat and looked out the window with a smile.

The last sunset had already set, and the moon was hanging in the west. Together with Wen Baizhou, we watched the road-air vehicles one after another. Under the precise guidance of the city brain, they drove into the blue sky on the upper and lower floors of the airport expressway. channel.

The bright car lights interweave with the blue, making it look like a surging Milky Way.

After driving into the city, the number of such blue rivers increases further. Countless vehicles, either in the sky or on the ground, are carrying passengers rushing home.

When Wen Baizhou arrived home, Yu Xingye had not returned to the bunker.

He was enjoying the late-night snack in the small villa and watching the news. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head and looked out, only to find that Lu Heng had already walked to the door first.

"Back." He took the gift bag from Wen Baizhou's hand, opened his arms and hugged him.

Wen Baizhou chuckled and rubbed hard into his arms.

Yu Xingye looked around and saw it, and quickly looked away.

After a while, Lu Heng took Wen Baizhou back to the sofa. The news on TV is talking about this year's Xiaoman Festival in Yicheng.

Thanks to the rapid development of technology, this year Yicheng's second car god has become a physical little white dragon.

The White Dragon God is about one hundred meters long. It is made of some kind of carbon nanomaterial and is very light in weight. It has a built-in set of artificial intelligence specially made for the Xiaoman Festival, and is also equipped with an intelligent security module. Any safety hazards caught by it in Yicheng will be immediately reported to the city brain. The power system it is equipped with is ordinary nuclear power. One takeoff is enough for it to fly in the sky for three hundred days.

During the entire Xiaoman Festival, it will fly over Yicheng. When you meet a destined person, you will shower them with gifts from the Dragon God.

Because of this big move, countless tourists flocked to Yicheng.

Yu Xingye was amazed when he saw it, and Wen Baizhou's face turned green when he heard it.

He hugged the pillow and looked up to the sky and screamed: "Why am I going out for a painting exhibition at this time? I should go to Yicheng!"

Yu Xingye encouraged him enthusiastically: "Bring the Dragon God here, let's also hold a small Manchu Festival."

"Do you believe that the mayor of Yicheng is fighting for your life?" Wen Baizhou hummed and said, "This is the mainstay of Yicheng's tourism this year." The

two of them sat in front of the TV, looking at the wanton White Dragon God in the sky, greedy Sigh.

This is what Yan Feng saw when he walked in.

He looked at it funny for a long time, then said: "Zhouzhou is back, let's get the vaccine." "

Uncle Yan." Wen Baizhou greeted wilfully, "What vaccine?" "

Guang Spectrum anti-cancer vaccine." Yan Feng said, "Take this shot and then take another shot when you are fifty, so you don't have to worry about cancer." After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Heng: "You are taking the leukemia vaccine first. Or should we wait until the production capacity of the anti-cancer vaccine is increased and get it all at once?"

Lu Heng pondered for a long time before saying: "Let's inject the leukemia vaccine into the children first. After your vaccine is rolled out in a few months, we will be almost there."

"Okay. I'll adjust the leukemia vaccine for you." Yan Feng said, "Are Zhouzhou going to Huacheng when he comes back this time?"

Wen Baizhou nodded: "Go back to the bunker to handle the vaccine work first, and then we'll go there ."

Although the important technology has been brought back, he still wants to visit the Flower City.

There was something there that he wanted to bring back.

172: Don't be confused ·

Wanyicheng is bustling with preparations for leukemia vaccine injections.

This time it was Ye Chi and Gui Yao who were in charge of this work. After the ground living area was built, their main job shifted from transportation to teaching auto repair and close combat.

The bunker encourages everyone to explore outside, so fighting classes and auto repair classes are compulsory courses for advanced classes. Under the pressure of exams, the children who were preparing to enter internships in various departments listened to them.

The two of them were busy preparing the entire bunker for minors' vaccinations, and the work of putting the vaccines into the school's reserve was left to the members of the original transportation team.

When Wen Baizhou came out of the elevator of the nuclear island, he happened to see a middle-aged man with gray hair wearing an exoskeleton and carrying a large box of vaccines from the special planting area to the ground living area.

Below the knee of his left leg is a prosthetic leg that shines with metallic luster. The prosthetic limb was firmly tied to his thigh, allowing him to move freely like a normal person.

From a distance, watch him walk to the school gate. There is a robot with pointed ears that collects vaccines and prepares them for storage.

"Is there any inconvenience for you to use these neurological prostheses?"

Wen Baizhou asked as he followed Lu Heng to pick up the car.

"There are currently no applications for return or reallocation in the bunker," Lu Heng said.

This batch of prostheses are the new neural prostheses that were supported by 2025 last month.

It has certain flexibility. As long as it is worn and fixed, there will be biomaterials inside the prosthesis that scan and record the muscle movements of the limb. Then, relying on the sensor chip and brain wave processing equipment inside the prosthetic limb, the new prosthetic limb can move as freely as a real limb.

What's even more valuable is that the price of such prostheses is very low. In hospitals in 2025, almost everyone who is forced to have an amputation can be equipped with such a prosthetic limb on the spot.

There are also many people in the bunker who have become disabled due to their previous jobs. The night when Wen Baizhou brought the prosthetic limb, the entire medical staff cried with joy.

Wen Baizhou watched the middle-aged man with a prosthetic leg on his left leg walk back. After walking outside a special planting area, he pushed the door in, walked to the heating regulator, squatted down, reached out and adjusted the planting. temperature in the area.

His movements were exceptionally smooth, without any trace of sluggishness.

Wen Baizhou felt relieved and called Fenrir to get into the chariot: "Let's go, let's go to Huacheng!"

Huacheng is a big city in the east of the next province. It is close to Zecheng and is the largest grain production base near Zecheng. In the past difficult days, Huacheng single-handedly supported the food consumption of several nearby districts.

After turning around the difficult road around the mountain and passing through the dangerous canyon mouth, you can almost immediately enter the main road responsible for Huacheng.

The chariot came out of the dilapidated door. Wen Baizhou turned his head and looked at the mouth of the canyon with strong winds blowing behind him. He said with some emotion: "It turns out that this is what it looks like during the day."

Before the war, the mountains on both sides of it should have been covered with mountains. There are green trees, and the shallow stream under the canyon will have water flowing from the deep stream on the mountain road. Birds will perch on both sides of the bank, and sunlight will shine from high in the sky, so the entire canyon will be shining with sparkling waves.

"If the shade of the trees is thick, this place should be very suitable for enjoying the shade." Wen Baizhou said, "But I don't like it here. When I see it, it reminds me of the car accident."

Lu Heng chuckled after hearing this: "Not anymore."

The radioactive dust in the sky thinned. The sky is getting brighter, and more light and heat energy are shining on the earth. The reduction in extreme weather has made cross-city transportation less dangerous.

"Despite what I said, it still doesn't feel good." Wen Baizhou said and glanced at the rearview mirror. Lian Sheng and Yu Xingye were following them closely in the rear car.

Although there were still two cars this time, there were only four of them traveling.

Before coming this time, Teacher Qi had already contacted the person in charge of Huacheng. He also roughly told them about the current situation in Huacheng.

Several people were mentally prepared for this survivor base that they had never been to before. But when they actually arrived at Huacheng, they were still shocked.

Outside the Flower City Bunker, there are actually circles of trees!

Although they are all dwarf trees that are no taller than a human being, they are real trees!

Seeing the chariot driving slowly by the woods, the young man who had been guarding the intersection early in the morning raised his hands and shouted: "Are you a friend of Yicheng?"

"It's us." Wen Baizhou stuck his head out and said, "Are you a friend of Yicheng?" Are you a friend of Huacheng?"

"My surname is Yang! My name is Yang Huailin!" The young man laughed, "It was our brother Lin who asked me to come out to pick you up!"

He happily turned over and rode on the small shuttle bus next to him. Loudly said: "Come with me!"

The small shuttle bus swayed slowly, and Lu Heng drove the bus next to Yang Huailin, and could not help but hear Bai Zhou chatting with him.

Wen Baizhou was extremely curious about the rows of trees. As soon as he got closer, he asked, "How did you plant this tree?"

"That's a tree where part of the gene was knocked out through special research." Yang Huailin said. , "There are often strong winds in our bunker. You didn't know about the situation in the past. When strong winds occur, sandstorms are easy to occur. I have always wanted to have trees in the bunker to block the sand and dust and solidify the soil. But this It's hard to do. After all these years, we still plant them at dawn."

"But doesn't Zecheng have land adhesive?" Wen Baizhou asked him, "Didn't you exchange it?" "

This thing is not exchangeable, Ze The city provides it for free. But we can't use such a precious thing to plant trees. Our bunker has the advantages left over from before the war. Guarding such a large agricultural academy, we have to feed everyone first." Yang Huailin He came over with a smile, "You Yicheng still needs material exchange to have land adhesive? That's not possible."

He raised his voice loudly, and as soon as he finished speaking, someone interrupted: "What nonsense are Huailin talking about? Land The adhesive was recovered from Yicheng."

Yang Huailin's eyes lit up and he said "Wow": "Are you so awesome?!" "

It's the elders in the family who are awesome. You are even better." Wen Baizhou smiled and smiled. After getting out of the car, "Mr. Lin, this is Wen Baizhou."

"I know you, Xiao Wen." Lin Heng from Huacheng greeted him with a smile, "Your bunker is really great, all of us have to thank you."

He He looks younger than Cai Zonghe from Zecheng, probably only in his thirties. He is the youngest person in charge of the survivor base that Wen Baizhou has ever seen.

When he saw Wen Baizhou, his eyes were full of excitement. When he walked in, he opened his arms and hugged Wen Baizhou with all his strength. He patted Wen Baizhou's back enthusiastically, and then went to greet the others with a smile on his face. . After greeting each other, Lin Hengcai took Yang Huailin and led them around the flower city.

The planting area of ​​Huacheng is in many low-rise buildings. In addition to the first floor, the planting areas on the second and third floors all rely on a large number of planting boxes.

"After all, our place used to be a big agricultural city. It has a rich industrial chain and there is no shortage of talents. If you use things like planting boxes yourself, you will have enough reserves." Lin Heng said with a smile, "We also worked hard to save some seeds. When we wait, If the weather is better, we can make some contribution to ecological restoration."

In the low building in the planting area, in addition to growing crops, there is also an experimental area. It is working time now, and there are many young researchers doing experiments seriously in the experimental area.

Because Zecheng suffered from radiation sickness, it had relatively developed medical research; while Huacheng, because of its innate conditions, had been conducting in-depth research on various crops. It is precisely because of their research that Huacheng can support the food consumption in the eastern region in such a difficult environment.

It's just that their energy comes from Zecheng, which was the nuclear power system that Zecheng dismantled from the nuclear-powered battleship damaged in the war. Because energy is limited, they always supply the planting area first and then the living area.

Because of this, a pattern has been formed in which people and crops live together.

"I made you laugh, our living area is a bit messy. But it is also convenient to take care of food nearby." Lin Heng said with a smile, "When supplies become more abundant in the future, we should be able to change the living environment."

Wen Baizhou looked at In such an environment, my heart was particularly shocked: "You are really amazing."

Lin Heng smiled and waved his hand: "We can't survive with just the things in our hands. Everyone is amazing."

They were rough After browsing through the planting area of ​​Flower City, and just as I was about to go to the living area, I heard the roar of an airplane overhead.

Wen Baizhou suddenly looked up and saw an iron-gray aircraft cutting through the sky and flying higher.

"Qingluan..."

"Yes, it's Qingluan." Lin Heng said with a smile, "It seems we have to go to the house for a while first. Qingluan takes off and launches sinking bombs. It might rain soon."

Wen Baizhou I was shocked and couldn't help but ask: "It's already dawn, but it's still firing fallout bombs? It's gone, what will happen to the people in Zecheng?" "

I have also communicated with Mr. Cai from Zecheng. What about Zecheng?" While dismantling part of the energy supply system in the ship market. In this way, even if Qingluan leaves for a few days, it will not affect the energy supply of Zecheng."

Lin Heng explained: "If the radiation dust in the sky is not eliminated, Qingluan will It's just a day's work. Zecheng doesn't want to delay such a big event because of them."

"That's it..." He looked up again, and the space carrier was no longer visible in his field of vision. It should have already headed to its next destination, firing fallout bombs for the fallout there.

Lin Heng led them to the living area.

The living area of ​​the flower market was originally the ground eye of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It went several meters underground to observe the water usage patterns of the experimental fields and changes in underground water sources.

Although the experimental field and underground water source have long since disappeared, it has assumed a more important responsibility.

As soon as the group entered the eye of the earth, it started to rain heavily outside the house.

"It's uncomfortable to get wet with this rain. Fortunately, we came back quickly." Lin Heng smiled and took the initiative, knowing my intention. "Mr. Qi told me before that you wanted to exchange some high-yielding and drought-resistant grain seeds back. I'm here It's ready. Why not go and take a look now."

Huacheng's high-yielding grain varieties have been optimized over the years. After discarding part of the taste, the output increased exponentially. If not, they wouldn't be able to support the needs of several survivor bases.

Wen Baizhou wanted to come to Huacheng just because of these seeds and their research materials.

Lin Heng's proactive attitude surprised Wen Baizhou: "You will give it to us now? What do you want to exchange for?"

Lin Heng smiled and waved his hand: "The weather is so good now, we can't exchange for anything we want. "Growing food doesn't wait for anyone, so you just take the seeds back first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

He looked at the heavy rain outside the window, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but there was a hint of emotion in his voice: "The weather is so good, let's save it." People are important."

Plant early, harvest early, and welcome the sunshine of the new era together with the green luan in the sky.

Wen Baizhou solemnly said: "I will give a share of the seeds to the bunkers passing by on the road."

"Okay." Lin Heng responded with a smile, "I'll leave this matter to you, Xiaowen."

They looked side by side towards the ground . Go into the depths.

The rain was falling outside the house, but there was a bright road in their hearts, guiding them to move forward firmly.
