Chapter 41 [Second update]

Children's eyes are clear in black and white.

They stared at Wen Baizhou stubbornly, hoping to get a satisfactory answer.

Lu Heng frowned and wanted to reach out to grab the painting and leave. Wen Baizhou held his hand and shook his head gently.

He looked at the children and asked, "Why do you think this is a bunker?"

"Isn't it?" one child said, "It's a building, it's dusty, and Teacher Qi and us are standing on it."

They automatically thought that the students listening to the lectures on the ruins were themselves.

"Is there any other answer?" Wen Baizhou asked.

In the crowd, a child screamed: "You should give us the answer!"

"Yes! You should give us the answer!"

Wen Baizhou smiled: "When a work is born, how is it interpreted? What the fate is has been left to the audience. And if you want to ask me what I was thinking when I first created it..."

The children stared at him.

"The first thing I thought about was the world. It was this dark world, a world destroyed by war." Wen Baizhou knelt down and looked at the children in front of him gently, "You are the people standing in the world. They are the ones who built it and changed it."

The children were silent, but the tense atmosphere seemed to relax.

Someone asked: "What is that behind Teacher Qi?"

"It's the sun." Wen Baizhou said, "The sun rises and sets like this. Whether it is the rising sun or the setting sun, it depends on you. The choice."

The children were silent for a long time, and then one person whispered: "Brother is lying, the sun doesn't look like this."

"That's right. The old man said that the sun is white, and it lights up the whole world when it comes out. "

It's also very hot and can tan people's skin. Just like the lamps in special planting areas."

Wen Baizhou raised his eyebrows, nodded seriously, and asked them: "Then do you know that the sun itself grows What does it look like?"

The children looked at each other and their raised voices became quieter again: "Red. Big red planet."

But after saying that, they felt that they must have said it right, so their voices became louder again. : "But the light it emits is white!"

"Okay, okay." Teacher Qi came forward to smooth things over, "Your brother Baizhou is doing artistic creation and will have some artistic expression." "

But Teacher Qi, you I know that's not the case." Wen Baizhou stood up and said with some disapproval, "The sun is colorful. When the sun comes out, it is golden. It gets brighter and brighter, and the sky will be dyed red. Wait until it is completely dawn. , the sky will turn blue, and the sunlight will be colorless."

"In the evening, these colors will come back. The intersection of black and orange is very close, and they will make the sky purple. Even if they are the same color, The sunset on a sunny day behaves differently from the sunset on a rainy day. You have seen it before."

Teacher Qi frowned slightly. He looked at Wen Baizhou and said softly: "Xiao Wen, I don't know where you saw it. But... there is no need for this."

In the lifetime of the children, the sky will never light up, and those gorgeous lights that wander from outside the universe will never be seen again.

There is no need to tell children about things that don't exist, making them feel sad about it and never forget it.

Wen Baizhou frowned slightly, looking a little uncomfortable.

The children looked at Teacher Qi, then at Wen Baizhou, and finally asked Lu Heng: "Captain Lu, how did brother know this?"

Seeing what Teacher Qi meant, what Brother Bai Zhou said seemed to be true.

But Teacher Qi was born before the war, and it was normal for him to have seen the sun. Where did Brother Bai Zhou find out?

"Brother Baizhou." A child squeezed in front of him, "How do you know? Have you ever seen the sun?"

Wen Baizhou discovered that he was the child who said that day that he wanted to build the bunker deeper and bigger underground. .

When he looked at Wen Baizhou, there was an expectation in his eyes that he didn't even know he had.

Wen Baizhou hesitated for a long time and suddenly asked: "What is your name?"

The child was stunned and said, "My name is Li Xin."

Wen Baizhou nodded and asked another little girl: "What is your name?"

The little girl was stunned and then said, "My name is Du Mei."

Wen Baizhou nodded again and asked the names of the other children.

The kids he asked were the same kids who were talking about making the bunker deeper and bigger.

Finally, he said: "Yes, brother has seen it."

"Liar!"

"Liar!!"

"Brother is liar! There is no sun!"

"Yes." Wen Baizhou said softly, "On Blue Star At the end of the sky, there was a big hole in the clouds in the sky, so the sun poured down and illuminated everything."

The children looked at him eagerly, obviously listening with fascination, but they said: "We don't believe it! Unless brother There's evidence!"

Wen Baizhou took out his cell phone and said, "I'll show you the evidence."

He found his travel video and clicked on a sunrise shot on a snow-capped mountain in a certain year.

In the vast darkness, a little light suddenly appeared among the mountains in the distance. The light was like an arrow, penetrating the thick darkness easily. Slowly, as it arrived, the mountains on the horizon were dyed with golden outlines, and the dark sky began to glow with a clear warm yellow.

The children formed a circle, surrounding Wen Baizhou, and stared at the small mobile phone screen without blinking.

Watch the darkness be pierced by light, watch the dark world turn into snow-white mountains and blue sky. All this was so incredible, a world they had never imagined would look like.

The accelerated playback of Sunrise will be played in just a few minutes. Wen Baizhou put away his mobile phone, and the children immediately stopped: "Watch it again, brother, watch it again!"

"I won't watch it anymore." Wen Baizhou said, "If you really want to watch it, just try hard."

He He reached out and touched the child who wanted to build a bunker deeper underground, and said seriously: "Only by building a better world on the ground can we see such light."

The child curled his lips and said: "Brother, your statement sounds like those bad guys who lure people to the ground."

A little girl nodded: "That's right. An aunt told me that last time. Then she left the bunker and never came back. ."

Wen Baizhou stood up with a smile: "Building a home and living on the ground without any preparation are two different things. Don't run away from the bunker by yourself, and don't live in an unprotected place. But you must choose the direction carefully. Build your own home well."

"Okay." Teacher Qi interrupted them, "Everyone has dispersed after class. Is it time to go back to the second underground floor for the next class?"

Teacher Qi said, Looking again, there is not much time left for class to end. The children swarmed up and ran towards the inside of the bunker.

Wen Baizhou looked at Teacher Qi expectantly: "Do you like this painting? Shall we go to your office?"

Teacher Qi looked at Wen Baizhou deeply and said nothing. After a while, he whispered: "Follow me to my office."

His office is on the conventional island at the core of the bunker, which is also on the ground fortress. The two of them followed him to the seventh floor in the elevator and headed to his office.

As soon as he entered the office, Teacher Qi asked: "Do you have anything to ask me?"

Seeing that he had no intention of continuing to talk about painting, Wen Baizhou took out his cell phone and said, "I have brought the information back before. , the elders in the family have read the information and want to ask you some questions."

"Bring it here." Teacher Qi reached out and took the phone, "I'll see what the problem is first. You can do it yourself."

After saying that, he paused. , and added: "By the way, Xiaolu, please help me hang the painting. Just hang it on..." He looked around the office, and then said, "Just hang it on the wall on the left. Please."

Seeing him accept the painting, Wen Baizhou suddenly became happy again. He quickly said: "I'll hang it with you."

They walked to the wall with the painting and whispered about the most suitable place to hang it. He didn't notice at all that Teacher Qi was buried in the pile of information. He was already sweating as he looked at the old professors asking questions on their mobile phones.

His hand holding the phone was so tight that his knuckles turned white. Looking at Wen Baizhou through the gaps in the information, his eyes were full of horror.

After a long time, he suddenly pressed down the phone. Silently, he pulled out a blank draft book and wrote the answers according to those questions.

Wen Baizhou and Lu Heng spent a little time hanging up the "Lecture Picture in Ruins". He clapped his hands and walked back to Teacher Qi's desk. When he looked around, he found that Teacher Qi had written "SW" on the paper. -1" in big characters.

Those words were written with such force that the inferior pen tip almost scratched the paper.

Wen Baizhou blinked and asked doubtfully: "Teacher Qi, are you ready to write the SW-1 material?"

Teacher Qi held the pen for a moment, and after a few breaths, he suddenly shook off the pen in his hand. He picked up the pen and said, "No more plans."

He looked at Wen Baizhou's blank eyes and said word for word: "SW-1, a coating material that prevents neutron radiation, was born in 2030 by a man named Wu Shuo. materials science expert, in the laboratory of an academician of the Academy of Engineering."

"The person who asked the question should know more about this material than I do."

☆ 43. Chapter 42 [First update]

Chapter 42 [First update]

The office fell into unspeakable silence.

Wen Baizhou looked at Teacher Qi nervously, and in the blink of an eye there was cold sweat on his forehead.

Lu Heng noticed that something was wrong with the two people here, and immediately walked over quickly: "Teacher Qi!"

Teacher Qi waved his hand at him, and said with extra difficulty: "Are you scared?"

He looked at Wen Baizhou with a very serious look in his eyes. Seriously, but without any malice. He just smiled bitterly and said: "I was scared too."

It is not easy to learn anything related to nuclear engineering by yourself. Those days when he was building a bunker during the day and desperately searching for remaining textbooks and teaching videos when he had free time had almost become a lingering dream for him.

Even now, he often dreams about the days when he wore protective clothing and wandered around the ruins of the school day and night looking for a textbook.

There are many excellent and outstanding professors who will appear repeatedly in his dreams. They may be the profile picture of the editor of the textbook, or they may be the honorary recognition of the school. There are also some teaching videos that he dug out with difficulty.

He relied on these things and spent a long time building his own knowledge framework.

But he never imagined that one day these people in the dream would ask him questions through a small mobile phone screen!

He even doubted his own authenticity for a moment.

He may even wonder, could it be that those professors have achieved such admirable achievements because he, today, is giving them teaching and inspiration from the future?

Such thoughts lingered in Teacher Qi's mind, but he suppressed them because they were too ridiculous.

If those old professors had obtained the information on controllable nuclear fusion early on, then the damn nuclear war 43 years ago would never have happened!

They have completely commercialized controllable nuclear fusion in 2055. With unlimited energy, they have gone further! If this information is obtained in advance, they will only rise irresistibly and will not give any chance to that war.

Although they are exactly the same, they are not the teachers he has never met...

If there is an answer, it can only be that the universe overlapped at a certain time, allowing him to touch them in the parallel world.

So the sun will still rise, so we can collect so many daily necessities in a short time.

Because nuclear war has not yet come. Before the nuclear war, they had unlimited possibilities.

Teacher Qi suppressed the panic in his heart. He stared deeply at Wen Baizhou and said word by word: "I will not inquire where you are from. I will find all the information you want for you."

Wen Baizhou Looking at him blankly, he spoke with difficulty: "Teacher Qi..."

Teacher Qi waved his hand again: "You don't need to say anything else. You just need to come to me when you need information."

He sat down On the stool, he pushed the draft paper he had written into Wen Baizhou, closed his eyes and lowered his head again, and said tiredly: "Go, leave me alone."

Wen Baizhou and Lu Heng looked at each other and said softly. "Okay, I'll leave first."

The two turned around, but Teacher Qi opened his eyes and looked up at their backs.

The moment Wen Baizhou opened the door and left, he suddenly said: "Xiao Wen!"

Wen Baizhou turned his head: "Huh?"

Teacher Qi looked at him steadily and said again: "I won't hold you accountable. Where did it come from. But - "

"Xiao Wen, you have such an opportunity, you have to stop the war."

Wen Baizhou grasped the door handle tightly and nodded vigorously: "Okay. I will."

Teacher Qi made up his mind and said Said: "Come back, turn on your mobile phone video. I will explain it to your parents in detail bit by bit!"

...

On the other side, the children rushed home after class, eager to return home.

Li Xin's home is on the seventh floor underground and is a larger two-bedroom apartment. In the two connecting rooms, my parents and grandma lived.

Grandma is not Li Xin's biological grandmother. She adopted a fatherless orphan after the war, and that child was Li Xin's father.

There are many such families in this bunker.

Li Xin rushed into the room like a cannonball and shouted: "Grandma! I saw the sunrise today!"

Grandma Li came out of her small room happily and asked him with a smile: "Did you dream about dozing off at school?" Have you seen it?"

"No! I never doze off in class!" Li Xin jumped up and danced, "It's a real sunrise! The sun popped out from behind the mountain! It's golden! It's not what you said. White light. It's gold!"

Grandma Li's cheerful smile slowly disappeared, leaving only the aftertaste of a smile: "Where did our Xinxin see it? Is there anyone in the picture?"

"In the hands of the big brother! But There are no people. There are only mountains and the sun!" Li Xin was particularly excited. "He said that at the end of the Blue Star, there was a hole in the clouds! He went there and saw the sunrise!"

Grandma Li's face changed again. He smiled and said, "Is it like this? That must be very beautiful."

"Yeah!" Li Xin nodded sharply, "It's the most beautiful!"

"What is the most beautiful? What did we Xinxin see so happy?" at the door. , Li Xin's father pushed open the door and came in, "Mom, look what I brought you!"

"It smells so good!" Li Xin rushed to his father's side, "What is it? Why does it smell so good!"

Li Xin Dad suppressed his excitement and patted him gently: "You have food at school in the afternoon. This belongs to grandma." He quickly walked to the small desk and opened the lunch box in his hand: "Mom, come and eat quickly! The cafeteria is open today Fried shredded potatoes!"

Grandma Li swallowed several times involuntarily as she smelled the aroma. Looking at it again, the thin potato shreds were all shiny with oil. At first glance, it looked like a dish that could only be fried with high heat and enough oil.

"Oh, there's... so much oil. What day is it today?" Grandma Li gushed for a long time and then asked, "Is it expensive?"

"It's not expensive, it's the same price as the stir-fried vegetables that are usually served every week. One serving. Only two points." Li Xin's father pressed her down in front of the desk, "Mom, you can eat without worry. We can afford it every day!"

Grandma Li laughed again: "How can we eat such good food every day? In the cafeteria Not allowed." She picked up a pair of chopsticks with a smile and said, "Xinxin, come here, try it. This is the home-cooked dish grandma used to eat when she was a child."

But Li Xin shook his head: "Grandma, you eat, I will go back to school later. There must be some."

"Mom, don't feel bad for him." Li Xin's father also said, "Let me tell you, today the cafeteria has announced that from now on, there will be a stir-fry dish every day, and it is rated to use two liters of oil! This is a deal The idea is to make everyone eat oil!"

"Ouch!" Grandma Li was surprised, "Where did you get so much oil?!"

"I heard that the guy named Bai Zhou brought it." Li Xin Dad said, "The one who has been following the law team a while ago. He said he was a small bunker with rich supplies and wanted to buy electricity from us."

Grandma Li shook her head after hearing this: "Our electricity is not worth the price. "

She was an intern at a nuclear fusion power plant when she was young. Soon after she joined the job, the world went into chaos. Later, great efforts were made in the construction of bunkers. She knew that the price of electricity outside Bunker 01 had always been constant.

"They probably also want to help us." Li Xin's father whispered, "Look at how many people there are in our bunker? Life is hard."

"He is a good person." Grandma Li sighed.

"That's right." Li Xin's father said, "Eat quickly. If you don't have enough, we can buy some. The cafeteria is full of people today!"

Grandma Li nodded, took a bite with chopsticks and couldn't wait to take a bite.

The potato shreds are fragrant and crispy, with juicy fat. It is simply a hundred times more delicious than the hometown food in my long memory.

So delicious! She couldn't help but eat a bite of shredded potatoes and a bite of taro.

Li Xin was a little greedy next to him. He grabbed his father's hand and said, "Dad, did Brother Bai Zhou bring this oil to us? He even took us to watch the sunrise today!" "Oh?

Really? In Where can I watch the sunrise?" Li Xin's father asked him with a smile.

"In that little instrument of his!" Li Xin said, "The sun came out from behind the mountain and illuminated everything golden!"

Li Xin's father was a little surprised: "It sounds very similar to that. Where did he come from? Did you get it?"

"Brother said there is a big hole in the clouds at the end of Blue Star!" Li Xin read the script.

Li Xin's father frowned: "Don't listen to his nonsense."

Grandma Li interjected: "Xinxin, don't be so hungry, go back to school for lunch break. Today there is cooking in the big cafeteria, and the school cafeteria is definitely indispensable. If you go late, you may be robbed by your classmates."

Li Xin was startled and rushed to the door: "I'm going to school!"

After he left, Grandma Li closed the door carefully, and then said to Li Xin's father: "I guess it's not nonsense."

After hearing this, Li Xin's father was even more shocked: "This? Mom, this is sensational!"

"Where are you thinking? It's not what you think." Li Grandma said, "You should be aware of the current situation of the children when you are doing bunker repairs."

When talking about this topic, Li Xin's father couldn't help but feel a little heavy. He sighed and said: "Those who are introverted and timid want to stay in the bunker. Those who are bold and pioneering just want to drill deeper into the ground."

Every time the maintenance area he was responsible for came to the practical class. As a student, he couldn't help but think of what people on the ground said about the bunker.

Yes, they are now forced to live in the bunker. What can happen later? What about next?

Do you want to live in this underground for generations and generations? ?

"Actually, we old guys have discussed this many times." Grandma Li said, "Mr. Yang has been thinking of a way. He said a long time ago that he wanted to find a batch of old documentaries to show to the children. But this How could it be so easy to find something if you grow it?"

"Then you mean...now...?" Li Xin's father looked at her expectantly.

"I guess so." Grandma Li nodded. "I asked Xinxin in detail. There were no people in the video he watched, only mountains and the sun. I thought it might be a sunrise clip from a documentary. , Let the child bring it out to test the rumors."

Li Xin's father couldn't understand: "But why is it him?"

"Who doesn't know who is in the bunker? If the child Lu Heng brought it out, would you believe it? Children Can you believe it?" Grandma Li said, "It's just right for Bai Zhou to do this as a kid." "

We must plant an upward seed for the children, and let their dreams and vitality go upward. Let's go. We will all grow old and die, and we cannot let our children only think about 'living underground'."

☆ 44. Chapter 43 [Second update]

Chapter 43 [Second update]

At the same time, in Building 1 of a villa area on the Fourth Ring Road of Yujing in 2025.

It was already dark, and only a few windows in Building 1 were still brightly lit.

Professor Sun frowned and thought for a long time, then sighed and stood up, deciding to leave work temporarily.

Although they have received guidance from the future, there are still many problems before them. For example, selecting a site to build a reactor, or constraining the long-term stability of plasma.

Although the latter already have mature and verified design drawings, they still need to wait for large-scale instruments to be installed before they can conduct experiments.

There is no rush.

There is only one final step left, so patience is needed.

Professor Sun packed up the documents on his desk, put them in a locked drawer, locked them, and then left the office with a sigh.

He walked to the fifth floor, only to find that the lights in the materials research room on the other half of the fifth floor were still on. If I remember correctly, this light has basically not been turned off since Xiaowen came back with information last time.

Professor Sun frowned and walked over.

When I walked to the door of the materials research room, I looked through the window and saw Professor Wu still working at his desk.

"Old Wu." Professor Sun knocked on the door, "What are you doing every day? Why don't you sleep and watch the cat? It's time to get off work!"

Wu Shuowei glanced up, stretched out his hand and squeezed the mountain root tiredly: " It's Lao Sun, are you off work?"

"I have some ideas, but there's nothing missing. Go back after work and clear your head." Professor Sun frowned and said, "It's time for you to get off work. What are you working on every day? The instruments are still there. It's not in place, and you can't rush it."

"That's it..." Wu Shuo closed his eyes hard and sighed, "I just think...that SW-1 material, that expression, that The morphological characteristics look very familiar."

He stood up with support on his waist and stretched out one hand: "Yes, it looks familiar. Old Sun, have you noticed that its characteristics are very similar to the project I am working on?"

Professor Sun Seeing him like this, he was so angry: "What about me? What about your confidential project? Who knows what you are researching now!"

Professor Wu Shuowei chuckled: "I know you don't know, I just say it smoothly Just ask."

"Huh." Professor Sun was so angry that he couldn't help but ask.

Professor Wu Shuowei ignored Professor Sun's anger. He stood leaning on the table and suddenly asked for a long time: "What do you mean by that sw?"

He thought for a long time about the meaning of sw-1.

According to the way they are named, they are either the abbreviation of the research laboratory or the abbreviation of the decisive material.

For materials like this used inside nuclear fusion reactors, it is very likely that the abbreviation of the name of the research laboratory was chosen to keep the materials confidential.

If it is really the initials of the researcher, then... could it be a coincidence?

Professor Sun didn't know what he was thinking. Hearing this, he said angrily: "Your name! Okay? It's time to get off work. If you stay up any longer, I'll have to go to the hospital to see you!"

"Oh, Old Sun, it's rare for us to have the same understanding. Once." Wu Shuowei laughed and said, "They are all working on materials. I don't care what the original meaning of that sw-1 is, why can't it be my name? Our research direction is exactly the same! No, I have to make a name. Report back to the laboratory, I always feel that I should be able to catch something in this experiment."

He sat down again and started typing out the application for employment.

Professor Sun stared at him helplessly: "After finishing the report, come back to the dormitory with me. Anyway, there are no instruments you need here, so there is no point in staying up!"

Wu Shuo lowered his head for the professor and agreed.

* * *

In Yicheng No. 01 Bunker in 2099, a rumor quietly emerged.

People met each other on their way to and from work, looked at each other, and asked quietly: "Have you heard?"

"Um? I've heard." Then they nodded tacitly, and asked

again: "Do you think it is true or not?"

I have everything to say when I come down.

Some said it was a trick to deceive children, some said it was made up by underground people and cults to trick people into going to the ground, and some said it was just a result of dreams and confusion.

But once the children ask: "Is there really a hole in the clouds in the sky? Does the sun really fall from the clouds?"

They will unanimously say: "Yes. When the dark clouds disperse, the sun will It will be photographed."

Even though I don't know how many years it will take. But that's what they agreed on.

As long as the dark clouds in the sky disperse, the world will slowly return to normal.

Their children, their children's children, will one day leave the bunker and welcome new life under the sun with their heads held high.

It's just that we don't know when the future will arrive, so even our expectations have become a tacit secret.

But the day after the bunker launched daily cooking, the entire bunker began to overhaul the monitors installed that year.

These displays are of little use except for warehouses and supplies and vehicle calling areas. Only occasionally some work arrangements are displayed, and because the installation takes too long, some work sometimes fails.

But it's really not of much use. Gradually, even if it breaks down, people don't bother to report it for repair.

The productivity of the bunker is limited, so there is no need to waste precious parts on such useless things. If you have this ability, you might as well get a few more sky simulation lights.

But now, the bunker has begun a large-scale overhaul of the monitors.

That kind of tacit understanding in private seems to become more and more ready to move.

They did not dare to disturb Mr. Yang who was recovering from illness, nor did they dare to question Lu Heng, who seemed to stay away from strangers.

So he set his sights on Wen Baizhou, who seemed to be the most talkative.

After all, this restlessness was caused by Brother Bai Zhou. He must know something when he is undertaking such an important task, right?

So every time Wen Baizhou went to the cafeteria to eat, someone familiar or unfamiliar would come up to him with a smile and quietly ask him: "When do you plan to start?"

Wen Baizhou asked without changing his expression and his heart did not beat: "Start. What?"

But after returning, he would grab Lu Heng and ask worriedly: "Is Grandpa Yang's health really okay? I feel like everyone in the bunker... knows that Grandpa Yang wants to choose a successor. Lu

Heng paused while maintaining the high-energy laser gun, and then said: "That's not what they guessed."

He paused after speaking, and then added: "The old man's body... He is a person who has been through the war years. His health was broken a few years ago. He himself knew that his health was not good, so he wanted to make more arrangements."

With a "click", the high-energy laser gun was gently put down.

Lu Heng looked at Wen Baizhou and said softly: "You don't have to worry. If anything happens to the old man, the person who will succeed him will be Teacher Qi."

Wen Baizhou shook his head: "I'm not worried about this. "

Although the change of successor in the bunker is indeed a problem to worry about, even their cooperation with Bunker 01 will change due to the choice of the new successor.

But now, Yang Qi can obviously still hold up the sky. What he is more worried about is Yang Qi's body.

"..." Lu Heng fell silent.

After a while, he finally said: "When you asked for research information on controllable nuclear fusion, the teacher was already making preparations. There are so many staff in the bunker, and only Teacher Qi is organizing the information with you. Not only because Qi The teacher knows best about controllable nuclear fusion."

"Teacher Qi is a bit stubborn about academic issues, and he is also very smart. In fact, even without the videos of professors asking questions, the arrival of such a large amount of living supplies at once would have made him wonder. Doubt it. But as long as it is useful for the bunker and good for mankind. Even if he doubts it, he will still support it."

Teacher Qi relied on this desire to make his compatriots live a better life, and he fought all the way. Current.

Wen Baizhou felt that this was one of the longest words Lu Heng had ever said to him.

"As for the teacher..."

"Can Zecheng do anything?" Wen Baizhou suddenly asked, "Anyway, I will always find a chance to go to Zecheng. Can Zecheng do anything?"

Lu Heng looked at him deeply, and for a long time Then he said, "Maybe."

"Then let's put Zecheng on the agenda." Wen Baizhou said, "I know this is very difficult. What do we need to prepare in the past? Can you make a list of supplies for me? "

You don't need to prepare." Lu Heng said, "Leave it to me."

Going to Zecheng was completely included in the schedule.

But before that, they still need to go to Bunker 13.

This was the arrangement Yang Qi made on his hospital bed.

There's something really bad about him. Lying on the hospital bed with medicine hanging on him, he looked thin and tired. When he saw Wen Baizhou, he still smiled kindly.

"Zhouzhou, I made an agreement with the people in Bunker 13." He coughed and said, "This time, you will follow Lu Heng's team to supply supplies along the route. This time, their team will not bring new people, only I'll take you. Go over there and ask them for information on miniaturized commercial reactors. And..."

He coughed violently.

Wen Baizhou patted his back nervously: "Grandpa Yang, don't worry, we will take care of it."

Yang Qi waved his hand and said, "I remember that seawater desalination is a very old project. You have already done it. With this technology, it has been unable to be promoted. Firstly, it is because the energy is limited. Secondly..."

He coughed twice more before continuing: "Secondly, it is because the desalination efficiency is not ideal. This makes desalination The cost has become extremely high, and it has become a resource that only a few people can use. Look for Bunker 13, they have it. They are bunkers built in the high-tech park, and they have preserved these things very well."

Wen Baizhou Pursing his lips tightly, he whispered: "I understand, Grandpa Yang. I will take care of it. Your body needs to rest."

Yang Qi chuckled: "Good boy, don't worry. Before you set off, grandpa will give you some rest." A little surprise for you."

He hid it and refused to say what the surprise was. Wen Baizhou was worried and looking forward to it.

Until two days before departure, all the monitors in the bunker were overhauled.

Yang Qi's old voice spread throughout the bunker through the loudspeaker: "Starting at eight o'clock tonight, the bunker will play old documentaries for everyone every Tuesday, every Thursday, and every Saturday." "

Play tonight The first one is called Green Planet."

☆ 45. Chapter 44 [First update]

Chapter 44 [First update]

Green planet? What it is?

But the bunker was overhauling the monitors, and Mr. Yang was broadcasting the live broadcast himself. This was an exciting event.

If there are elderly people at home, they rush back after work or school to ask their elderly people if they know what a green planet is?

Green Planet is relatively niche, and many elderly people have never seen it. But they know what a "documentary" is. One by one, the whole bunker was boiling.

It's eight o'clock in the evening, and there are still two hours to wait after get off work! So even meal time became a bit painful.

Although the canteen launched fried fungus again today. Even if they have eaten fungus all their lives, they have to admit that today's fried fungus is even more delicious, crispy and delicious than they imagined. But no matter how carefully you chew a meal, it only takes half an hour.

There is still an hour and a half, how can they survive?

So many people went to stand under various screens in the bunker early.

The experienced ones even dragged out their own stools. Those who were inexperienced and reluctant to occupy the position they had occupied early had no choice but to sit on the floor.

At eight o'clock in the evening, "Green Planet" will be broadcast on time.

The towering giant trees and dense rainforest in the opening scene aroused exclamations from inside and outside the bunker.

Not to mention the people walking on the ground and the sunshine pouring down from thousands of miles above.

The intuitive expression of pictures is more useful than words repeated ten thousand times.

It turns out that sunlight is like this, it turns out that real trees are like this, it turns out that the world before the war... is like this.

The children stared blankly at the pictures. When they saw the plants fighting for survival, they would be so nervous that they would hold the hands of their elders. When you see the branches and leaves curling up and the flowers blooming suddenly, you will say "Wow" in a daze.

It turns out that the ground is so interesting, and it once had so many colors.

So why do we live underground? The children wondered blankly, why do we have bunkers instead of buildings like giant trees? Was it all because of the war?

All night long, the bunker was bustling with activity.

Even on the second day, there was an unusual level of excitement in the various work areas.

In the buffer zone, one supply truck after another waiting to leave was parked there for final inspection.

The ground staff who were out gathered together and chatted lively about what they saw yesterday.

"Did you see that there is a picture where the plant is eating bugs?"

"I noticed it. Do you think that plant is the predecessor of the killer grass that attacks animals today?" Someone immediately started running around. He came over and said, "It's just that it's not infected, so it grows small and can only eat insects." "

Killer grass is not common now. Their rainforest is so big, I don't know how many are hidden there."

"There is this kind of plant . , they will definitely not be afraid of the insect tide."

There was a hint of envy in his tone unconsciously.

"When I saw those trees, I realized that the book about giant trees reaching the sky was not a lie. How could they grow so tall?" "

We have sunshine. The taller we grow, the more light we have. Look at the plants outside. District, the trees never grow very high. I wonder if the light set is unreasonable? If our tree can grow that long, how many fruits must be eaten..." "

Didi-"

The transport truck turned on its lights and whistled. Interrupting their chat.

A staff member in the buffer zone shouted with a loudspeaker: "Everyone is on the bus, brothers, it's time to go!" The

chatting crowd dispersed.

Not long after, one group after another of transport convoys slowly passed through the special planting area like a glass city and left the extremely lively No. 01 Bunker.

Today is the monthly material transportation day. Convoys from all the major bunkers set off to deliver supplies to the small bunkers and supply points along the way, as well as their own specialty materials to the large bunkers in the distance.

The convoy is like a long queue, coming out of bunker No. 01 and driving onto the main road, where it will part ways again.

Ye Chi put his arm on the window side of the car and tilted his head to look at the huge transport vehicle in front of him. It followed the heavy assault vehicle that opened the way and slowly turned around and left the main road area.

"Are they responsible for going to the next city this year?" Ye Chi asked Lu Heng, "There was an accident a few months ago and that road was blocked. Is it cleared now?" "I don't know."

Lu Heng said, "If The strong acid rain has spread to that line, maybe."

"Tsk, strong acid rain... You guys are really not very lucky." Ye Chi clicked his tongue and turned to look at the rear mirror of his car.

Behind them in the mirror, there was also a long queue.

When they came out this time, they still had two light assault vehicles paired with a medium transport vehicle, but they didn't bring any new people with them. But other convoys will definitely carry them.

Material transportation within the city is originally one of the safest tasks in ground exploration work. Most newcomers who decide to go to the ground to do exploration work start with material transportation within the city.

But ground work certainly involves various risks. However, situations like the last mission are extremely rare.

The bunker did not arrange for Lu Heng and the others to go out for the next two months. In addition to the reason why the insect tide and the team did not return from Bunker 13, it was probably because they wanted Lu Heng and the others to recuperate.

The insect wave broke out suddenly. For the safety of the personnel in each bunker, Bunker No. 13 only allowed them to return a while ago. Ye Chi has not been back for a long time, and he doesn't know what the connection is.

He felt that he had figured it out, and added: "But it's okay, everything is unscathed. I think everyone will be safe this year after this incident." After he finished speaking, he added: "It's only been a few months. The temperature will have to drop sharply, and then there will be ice and snow, and there will be no insects."

After saying that, he turned to look at Wen Baizhou in the back seat, and asked with a smile: "You think so, Xiao Wen?"

Wen Bai Zhou smiled at him.

Ye Chi didn't care. He was talking happily at first, but in the end he turned the topic to the documentary played in the bunker: "Green planet, hey, green. This planet used to look like this, how could it be called Blue Star instead of Blue Star?" Green star?"

"Because there is much more water than plants." Wen Baizhou said, "More than 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water, which looks blue from space." "

That's right, you've seen the back "What's the content?" Ye Chi smacked his lips again, "It has so much water, why are we still so short of water! Can't this water become healthier on its own and drink more?"

He complained a few words and looked at the motorcade in front of him. After almost clearing the road, he started the chariot again: "But seriously, Captain Lu. The old man's physical condition is like this. Now that "Green Planet" is being broadcast, does it have some hints?"

Lu Heng turned his head and looked at it . He glanced.

"Think about it, only 2% of the sunlight falls in the forest, and the plants will fight for these 2% of sunlight. When an old tree falls, countless small trees will take the opportunity to rise up and grow the fastest. The balsa wood will win." Ye Chi repeated what was broadcast last night, "Can you believe that there is no hint?" "

You are overthinking." Lu Heng said, "The teacher will be fine."

Ye Chi couldn't help but I glanced at him several times, wanting to say something but not knowing how.

After the chariot was completely on the main road, he said: "I know you and the old man have a deep relationship, but let's just say it. Let's just let it go. This is life, right? You have to be mentally prepared."

Lu Heng closed his eyes tiredly. Caught up.

Ye Chi shut up when he saw this. But a few minutes later, he spoke again: "Oh, by the way, I haven't thanked you Xiaowen yet. If you hadn't brought that batch of supplies, our bunker wouldn't be like the Chinese New Year now. Thank you very much, your bunker Is it on our supply line?"

"It's not." Wen Baizhou said, "It's a little biased." "

Hey, if the supplies are rich, bias is not a disadvantage." Ye Chi didn't know what he thought of, and sighed, "It's not biased. There are a lot of things going on here."

He had a headache thinking about those things, so he simply stepped on the accelerator to increase the speed.

This section of the road used to be a tourist route. There are no underground public facilities along the way, and there are no supply points. It is a rare stretch of road where you can increase your speed.

Wen Baizhou didn't come out for two months and looked out curiously.

The weather in 2099 has not changed much, and the scene on the roadside is still bare. Just because there has been no rain for two months, the degree of desertification of the land seems to be higher.

When a chariot passes by, it will bring up a layer of yellow sand. Some of the ruins of buildings that we occasionally encounter are covered with sand.

It's just that the climbing plants that were occasionally seen in the past seem to be fewer this time. Those who were harmed by the strong acid rain were not only the survivors, but also the plants that took root deep underground.

If this continues, Wen Baizhou has no doubt that one day the world will completely turn into a desert.

Fortunately, they still have land glue...

As long as humans have the heart to move forward, they will definitely be able to defeat the deserted land.

Wen Baizhou looked away and found that the first supply point was not far away.

This supply point was originally supposed to be the last stop of the subway station along the tourist route out of the city. The subway station was built large and beautiful, so it became a supply point.

Lu Heng asked Wen Baizhou to take the bag in the trunk and the wooden box placed with the bag. He also picked up the same thing, and then the two of them walked down.

Entering the supply point, the heating inside was on full blast, and many people were dozing against the wall.

Lu Heng handed the anti-radiation medicine in his backpack to the person in charge of the supply point, and opened the box in his hand: "This bag of white medicine is a land adhesive. This bag is enough for you to cultivate an acre of land. You can use the soil. As for the other things, you know what they are."

He said, taking the box in Wen Baizhou's hand again, and after opening it, there were mushrooms and bean sprouts inside: "Mushroom and bean sprout planting bucket, New gadgets made at the base. You can try transplanting them into the indoor planting area of ​​the supply point."

The person in charge thanked her repeatedly, carefully put everything into the office, and then raised his voice and shouted: "Everyone is here to get the medicine!"

Seeing that the order in the supply point was good, the two quickly returned to the battlefield.

Wen Baizhou said while fastening his seat belt: "So you are still responsible for delivering food?" "

Generally, the main supply content is anti-radiation medicine. If the various supply points report that there are urgently needed items missing, the bunker will also consider replenishing them. " Lu Heng said, "As for the things you encountered when you first came... they are small-probability events."

Wen Baizhou couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Our luck is really bad."

Ye Chi Nodding in agreement: "That's right."

Lu Heng glanced at him and then said, "What if it's because we spent all our luck at the critical moment?"

☆ 46. Chapter 45 [Second update]

Chapter 45 [Second update]

Perhaps it was because the large army had just returned and set off again soon. This journey has been incredibly smooth.

Ye Chi turned on the assisted driving system and chatted with them boldly: "Critical moment? What critical moment?"

Before anyone else could answer, he answered on his own: "Oh, I remembered, is it a critical moment? Arrived at Xiaowen? One of you is short of supplies, the other is short of force, and you were both rescued when you met."

"Uh..." Wen Baizhou thought for a moment, "What you said makes sense."

Aren't they the same in 2099 and 2025? Lack of supplies, lack of force?

Ye Chi felt that he had guessed it right, and he grabbed the steering wheel and laughed happily.

"Be careful to avoid it." Lu Heng reminded him.

He quickly turned the steering wheel to avoid the rocks in front of him.

"This stone has not turned into sand. Where did it come from after the acid rain?" he said, honking the horn to alert the cars behind him.

Lian Sheng, who was driving a medium-sized transport truck behind, took a look and slowly walked around.

After one more supply point, they will arrive at a small bunker.

Usually small bunkers along the subway are built based on the subway transfer stations of the year. Interchange stations are usually larger and deeper than regular rail stations, with more complex track designs to accommodate larger populations.

The transport convoy slowly stopped in front of the transfer station.

Ye Chi introduced: "This small bunker is small despite its size. The foundation pit was dug very deep, more than 50 meters underground, and the underground island was designed with a total of six floors. So the later expansion was also built based on this. It's big at the top and pointed at the bottom, like an awl."

"So deep?"

Wen Baizhou was a little shocked. It was more than fifty meters underground, almost as deep as a twenty-story building. This place is far away from the city, and even further away from the No. 01 bunker at the foot of Dongshan. It can still be maintained well even if it cannot supply its own energy and living supplies.

"How many people are there now?" he asked while sorting out the supplies.

"The last report showed a population of 100,000." Lu Heng said.

"Almost equivalent to a small town..." Wen Baizhou murmured.

I thought this bunker was very big before, but now I know that there are so many people crammed in it, and I feel a little shocked and confused for a moment.

It is too small for a population of 100,000.

Just as he was thinking about it, the door of the small bunker opened, and a few people wearing mottled furs and carrying small carts came out.

As soon as he saw them, the other party started laughing: "Team Lu! Brother Chi! I didn't see you last month, but I was worried." "

Thirteen." Lu Heng nodded at him, "Come here to move things. ."

"Okay!"

The group of people didn't waste any time and dragged the cart directly to Lian Sheng.

Although their bunker is small, there are still over 100,000 people inside. The amount of anti-radiation medicine consumed every month is not a small amount. An ordinary transport fleet is simply not enough.

Therefore, in terms of material supplies for the small bunkers along the road, as long as the original subway transfer line is involved, almost every transport team on each line will bring some supplies to the small bunkers.

So as soon as supply day approached, they waited almost all day long with the carts.

This batch of anti-radiation medicine contains almost 300,000 pills, which is one-tenth of what the small bunker needs for a month. In addition, there are also some staple foods such as taro and cassava, as well as common dishes such as fungus and mushrooms.

However, all the bunkers are short of these things, and they don't provide much. The key point is to rely on the small bunker's own efforts to process the soil and set up a farming area.

Therefore, Wang Shisan, who is in charge of this small bunker, is more concerned about land treatment chemicals.

He looked at the transport truck for a long time and then said: "Brother Lian, how much treatment agent did you bring this time? Can you give me a little more. I think our wind shaft can be dug more."

Yu Xingye heard this. Startled, he immediately came over: "Don't dig indiscriminately. I'm telling you, your life won't be enough to compensate for the collapse!" "

Oh, that's not what I meant." Wang Shisan said quickly, "Just, There are a lot of people living in that place now. I'll take a look. It's empty. Why not use it to plant some vegetables." "

If you plant it in a planting box, that'll be fine." Yu Xingye said, "If Just hit the wall directly, and you really won't be afraid of plant roots collapsing your bunker."

He had just watched "Green Planet" and knew clearly how powerful plants are when they sprout and take root.

Wang Shisan asked suspiciously: "Is it possible?"

What he said made the group of people fearful.

Lu Heng said immediately: "As the things are being transported, we will check them daily. Please prepare the latest population register."

Wang Shisan nodded quickly: "Okay."

Their small bunker is called Bunker 212. The previous generation was also a commercial center, and there was even a lower-level plaza and underground sky street on the subway. It's just that now...it's okay not to say it.

As soon as they walked out of the subway station entrance, the first thing they saw was... a street market?

Wen Baizhou looked around the area. Many rooms made of bricks were built against the walls. Most of them are only one and a half people high. Looking in from the open door, the light is transparent, so there should be no ceiling.

There is a cloth curtain hanging on many doors, and many people are sitting at the door, quietly selling some supplies.

Seeing that he kept looking at these strange houses, Wang Shisan explained: "After all, we have a large population here, and many people from the ground will come to take refuge in winter. We have no choice but to do this. However, our planting area has not changed. , Do you have to ensure that people have food?"

As they talked, they passed through this strange residential area and saw a huge cylinder covered with plants in the middle.

"Part of our planting area." Wang Shisan said, "Back then it was a large landscape pillar with a ready-made water supply system. Later we dug a lot of soil and added many layers to grow vegetables. Now 212's spinach supply basically depends on it. ."

Wen Baizhou looked up and saw that the underground floor of the 212 bunker was about six meters high, so the six-meter landscape pillars were covered with a layer almost every half meter. Although these spinach are not very big, they look green and full of energy.

"Guiyao, you and Xingye go check the power supply and water supply system of the bunker." Lu Heng said, "Let's go down and check the utilization of the air shaft and the population situation." The

power supply system of 212 still relies on the underground cables built that year. It is the lifeblood of 212.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shisan immediately said: "Brother Yao and Brother Yu, please check it carefully. The most recent focus of our bunker is to restore the underground streets on both sides. We have done a rough check before, but I need your help to check it again." "

Yu Xingye made a gesture and followed Guiyao to the power supply area on the underground floor.

After getting off the second underground floor, Wen Baizhou immediately discovered that it was much livelier than upstairs. A lot of wooden boards were built on the tracks that originally belonged to the subway, almost turning the track station into a flat ground. From time to time, children's laughter could be heard under the wooden board.

"There is also a house there." Wang Shisan said, "Build a layer below the railway track, and build another layer above, so that people can sleep. Normally, adults leave here to participate in the construction, and come back at night to lift the wooden boards, and then they can sleep."

In the case of their bunker, it is not possible for each family to take care of their children alone, so the children are almost always kept inside the bunker, leaving it to the people responsible for taking care of the children. With a track house like this, you don't have to worry about children running around and getting into trouble.

The rest of the adults will explore the outside, looking for remaining usable bricks, boards, clothes and other living materials; or they will dig deep into the land, bring it back for treatment and be responsible for farming; those who are good at construction, or those who are bold will follow the rules of the year. blueprints to expand the bunker.

In short, most people have no time to spare.

Ye Chi went to check the ventilation shafts along the route, and Lu Heng took Wen Baizhou to check out the indoor planting area on the second underground floor.

Their indoor growing area is also very similar to Bunker 01. A large number of slender planting boxes are suspended in the air to maximize the use of space.

Lu Heng recorded the types and quantities of vegetables, and was about to take Wen Baizhou down when Wang Shisan came over and whispered: "Team Lu, there is no one here now, I want to ask you, let's 01 Bunker No. 01, have you gotten anything good recently?"

Facing Lu Heng's gaze, Wang Shisan gritted his teeth and continued: "I heard that our Bunker No. 1 is going to give some monthly encouragement to the staff? "

Lu Heng said, "Who said that?"

"That's not true of me, hehe..." Wang Shisan scratched his head, "I have over 100,000 people in 212 anyway. I have to think about everyone and keep a close eye on them. Is this the trend of our large bunkers? I want to say, if our No. 01 bunker has such a plan, then, then... with the extra supplies, can we consider these small bunkers along our route?" "No.

01 The bunker did get something this time." Lu Heng did not hide it, "But you also know that the contents of a supply truck cannot provide food and drink for everyone in Bunker 01 for a day."

Wang Shisan said sarcastically: "Indeed..."

He knew very well how many things a transport truck could carry after years of docking supplies inside and outside. Not to mention that Bunker No. 01 has to support so many people. Let alone one car for one day, even half a day may not be enough for food.

So this is why Bunker No. 01 considers using the rice, flour and eggs obtained as talent incentives.

These things need to be fed to the whole bunker, and they won't be enough for a day. But if it is distributed according to families, it will still be the same. It is better to use it as a kind of talent encouragement.

But once such incentives are introduced, they must be long-lasting and continuous.

But rice, flour and even eggs are all foods that they currently cannot be self-sufficient in. How to reward and how long to maintain it, Bunker No. 01 has been deciding.

Lu Heng even visited the breeding area many times for this purpose.

The chicken they brought back this time was the black chicken recommended by Wen Baizhou at that time. This kind of chick is all black and has strong disease resistance. But at the same time, chickens are not easy to raise.

Researchers in the breeding area have learned from the breeding manual that the initial feeding of chicks has strict requirements for temperature and humidity. In order to prevent the outbreak of mass diseases, some disinfectants must be appropriately sprayed. But this is not a problem for Bunker 01.

The difficulty lies in the subsequent sugar water.

Their entire Yicheng does not produce sugar and needs to exchange it with the neighboring city. And the egg production rate of these chicks also needs to be observed. They need to feed the chicks first and then know a stable egg production rate.

Even if everything goes well, it will take at least a year.

As for flour, its production depends on wheat. But wheat is a very water-hungry plant, and the bunker didn't have enough water. In the past, they wouldn't even dare to plant it.

Now even if there is a land adhesive, you have to wait until the values ​​of the land adhesive and the smart planting box are stable to ensure high water locking and fertilizer locking before you can consider trying to plant some wheat.

This again takes a long time.

Therefore, Bunker No. 01 discussed it for a long time and did not announce this encouragement system.

Lu Heng patted Wang Shisan on the shoulder: "No matter what Bunker No. 01 does, the ultimate goal must be to bring everyone a better life. Don't worry, if there are real results, you will definitely have a share." "

That's for sure. ." Wang Shisan said with a smile, "I still believe in Mr. Yang."

☆ 47. Chapter 46 [First update]

Chapter 46 [First update]

Wang Shisan's words seemed to be nothing at first, but Wen Baizhou felt that he was hinting at something.

Lu Heng said calmly: "Under the current situation, human beings can only survive as a team. No matter which bunker it is, the ultimate goal is to make everyone live a better life." "

Of course." Wang Shisan said quickly, "This If we hadn't supported each other, how would we have lived like this? If you want me to feed these hundreds of thousands of people by myself, you can't do it even if you slice me into pieces."

He said, and added: "You Look at such a big burden, if you change to an unreliable leader, you will really panic."

Lu Heng didn't seem to hear anything, and just led the people down quickly to check the next few people who were responsible for the operation of the bunker. work area.

Wen Baizhou followed and looked at several floors and found that they had at least two indoor growing areas on almost every floor. On the wooden beds on the railway tracks, some people took advantage of every opportunity to grow mushrooms.

"There are only these few areas, is there enough food?" Wen Baizhou asked softly.

"Self-sufficiency is definitely not possible." Wang Shisan said, "But isn't it supported by a big bunker? The positioning of our small bunkers is also very simple, they are the transfer stations of the big bunker."

He said with a smile, There was something free and easy about it: "Brother, don't think that we hold a bunker outside as if we have rights. Look at this world, having rights is not as good as being a resident of a big bunker. I just don't want to wait. When I'm done, I'll buy a room in the big bunker. Now... I just want to wait for the big bunker to expand so that I can send away some of the children in the bunker."

His eyes fell on the template covering the railway track. .

There is a paradise for 212 children. Whenever the adults take apart the partition boards, they can get together and roll happily from one end to the other.

The length of the rails is the length of their play area.

The children are carefree and happy as long as they have their friends with them. But he knew that children should not grow up in such an environment.

"Let's go, there's more down there," he said.

After looking at the following and focusing on checking whether there were any abnormal plants in the air shaft, the few people returned to the first floor.

On the first floor, supplies are being delivered to the office area. Those who had scattered small stalls leaning against the brick walls were not in a hurry, and some even answered them: "Brother, which bunker is it from?"

Wen Baizhou was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Bunker No. 1."

"Oh, bunker No. 1 is great. Then wait for a few more waves of your people, and we can distribute the medicine." The man said.

"Are you dispensing medicines on time?" Wen Baizhou asked him.

"It's not bad. Anyway, at least the big bunker is in charge of it, so those below don't dare to mess around. It's better than the supply point." The man added, "Counting your people, everything is almost in storage, so it should be almost done. ."

Wen Baizhou nodded: "So it's still on time?"

"Yes." The man smiled, "It can still go on."

They chatted for a while, and Yu Xingye and Guiyao also came back.

"The power supply system and water supply system are operating well overall." Yu Xingye gestured and said loudly, "It's the two underground streets that are currently being expanded. The wires there are broken. If they are to be reconnected, the heating will not be able to pass through. The lights on the whole street are worried about unstable voltage. If they are to be used, they will probably have to

send people from the bunker to repair them." Wang Shisan felt a chill in his heart when he heard this: "Then it won't be inhabitable?" He looked around at the brick huts around him. I couldn't help but ask, "Can you send someone to fix it?"

"In this case, you'll report it to the bunker after you finish it. As long as it's not winter, the bunker will usually let us bring experts." Yu Xingye said, "But don't Private connection, the amount of electricity coming out of bunker No. 1 is constant. Private connection is prone to problems."

"I understand this." Wang Shisan said, "These two streets are temporarily unavailable after they are expanded, and my wind shaft is really useless. Can't it be used?"

"If you want to grow vegetables, you can grow them in these two streets." Lu Heng said, "This time, the supply list for Bunker No. 01 includes ordinary planting boxes and a land adhesive. It can process one acre of sandy soil. You can treat the completely useless sandy soil and then use land binder to make planting soil."

Wang Shisan's eyes lit up.

Even if there is no light or heating in the two underground streets, the heating on the first floor will always pass by. After the temperature is stabilized, he can definitely plant some shade-loving vegetables. Even if no one is sent to repair the bunker here, the two sky streets are not wasted.

He hurriedly asked some questions about the land binder, and then quickly asked people to consolidate the former waste soil, without even taking care of supplies.

The problem of Bunker 212 was solved, and the population directory and other documents of Bunker 212 were checked. The group continued towards Bunker 13.

They passed several more supply points on the way and emptied a tank of supplies before they finally reached the edge of Yicheng.

The closer you get to the city, the more you encounter large and small transport vehicles.

Some are the No. 1 bunker transport team coming from different routes, and some vehicles are spray-painted with a huge number 13, which is the material transport team coming out of the No. 13 bunker.

Ye Chi blew his whistle to greet them, briefly chatted about the traffic conditions in the city, and then drove on.

The chariot calmly passed by the incomplete Ercha Shenlong head.

Wen Baizhou kept turning his head to look at it. He didn't look back until it entered the blind spot of his vision.

"Xiao Wen likes Er Cha Shen?" Ye Chi asked casually.

"Yeah." Wen Baizhou nodded, "It's very impressive."

Ye Chi laughed after hearing this: "You can still see the aura after it's like that? Unfortunately, no matter how impressive it is, it's useless. The god of the stone carving cannot determine his own destiny. "

He sighed and glanced at the dragon head in the rearview mirror: "But when it's good, it might be really impressive. I just don't know what it looked like before."

As he spoke, the chariot passed by and only the dragon's head was left. Elevated lower stone pier.

Wen Baizhou looked out through the car window and saw almost countless building debris.

This is the first time he has seen so many human remains since arriving in 2099.

They were all dusty and incomplete in appearance. After bombings and rounds of acid rain, less than half of the most complete buildings remained.

The tiles and glass on the surface have almost peeled off. The bricks and cement stuck to the steel bars also turned into mud in the rain. Even the core steel bars cannot maintain their original appearance.

Occasionally, he would come across scattered steel bars clawing their way through the wall. Wen Baizhou knew that it was a building that had recently collapsed. So the steel bars survived.

"Be careful when driving in the city." Lu Heng turned his head slightly and said to him, "Those buildings that have not collapsed may collapse at any time. Although Bunker 13 has been cleaning up the city, the scope is too wide after all. There are things that cannot be taken into account."

"The chariot has been reinforced. If it collapses, nothing will happen." Ye Chi said, "It is really scary if it falls down. If you can, try not to experience it."

Again I replenished anti-radiation medicine at several supply points along the way, and finally stopped briefly in a small transit bunker in the city. At around six o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived outside Bunker 13.

Compared with the dazzling first side of Bunker No. 1. Bunker 13 looks surprisingly plain.

It's like a very well run campus.

The bunker was tightly surrounded by a tall wall that stretched as far as the eye could see. The iron mesh erected on the wall seemed to be electrified, and from time to time, tiny fires could be seen exploding on it.

After confirming their identity at the entrance and exit, the mechanical gate on the wall allowed them to pass.

After passing through the gate, what comes into view are small buildings. These buildings are only two stories high, and each one is very long, arranged in rows inside the park. It's just that the windows in every room are very small, and there is a strange purple light coming out of them.

"Bunker No. 13 lacks large areas of land, electricity, and chemical production lines. Therefore, the planting area adopts the form of a plant factory." Lu Heng introduced, "This kind of factory building has the functions of a dormitory and a plant factory. . The people living in the building are responsible for planting plants in the entire building."

Wen Baizhou nodded. He looked at the rows of small buildings outside through the car window and felt that this was also a solution.

Bunker No. 13 was developed based on a small commercial fusion reactor that had not yet been ignited. Its ability to explore underground is inherently weaker than Bunker No. 01.

It is a reasonable way to first use a building covered with anti-radiation coating to house some people, and then slowly dig deeper.

"If it rains, what will happen to the houses outside? Are they all coated with anti-acid rain coatings?" Wen Baizhou asked.

"It's almost like this now." Ye Chi said, "It used to be more troublesome. If there were signs of rain, did you see the cables hanging out of the sky? They were made of special anti-corrosion materials. In the past, you had to hold an umbrella in key areas. I don't care about other places."

"So at that time, the plant factories were all crowded underground, and the buildings above ground were full of people. It was not easy for them to develop well here. Just that small fusion reactor, if it could be moved, I I guess everyone in their bunker was shouting to move."

"It's much better now," Lu Heng said.

"No." Ye Chi said, "The underground has been built a long time ago, and the various industrial zones are running very well. It's really difficult to move underground. No matter what, you can still survive."

He stepped on it as he said Braking: "We're here."

In front of us is an eight-story zigzag building. A large piece of glass is used in the middle of the zigzag to serve as a patio to block rain and light.

The chariot stopped at the zigzag entrance. Several people jumped out of the vehicle and exchanged supplies with those who came out of Bunker 13.

What they brought to Bunker No. 13 were conventional anti-radiation agents, daily medicines and some white sugar. Bunker No. 13 will exchange with them some daily medicines, plant factory nutrients and fresh vegetables.

Their intensive plant factory will steadily produce a large amount of fresh vegetables every month. In addition to meeting the daily use of their own bunkers, they will also be transported to other bunkers and supply points.

The two sides exchanged a wave of supplies. The staff of Bunker 13 looked at the medium-sized transport truck and said strangely: "Team Lu, your transport truck is not empty. I'm afraid it won't be able to load it in a while."

"It will be emptied." Heng said, "Please contact Mr. Chen and tell him that Lu Heng is here with Bai Zhou."

The staff member was a little strange, but he still went back to the office and made a call.

Not long after, a group of people ran out in a hurry.

The leader of the old man walked as fast as flying. When he saw the transport convoy in Bunker 1, his eyes swept over everyone like lightning, so he stepped forward and accurately held Wen Baizhou's hand.

"Are you Bai Zhou? I want to thank you on behalf of our Bunker No. 13." Mr. Chen said with a smile.

☆ 48. Chapter 47 [Second update]

Chapter 47 [Second update]

Boss Chen's name is Chen Dan. He is a few years younger than Yang Qi and has gray hair similar to Yang Qi's. Wearing a pure black long down jacket.

When he was young, he studied nuclear engineering and nuclear technology. As soon as I got my PhD, the world changed drastically.

But fortunately, his professional ability allowed him to survive, and his professional ability also allowed him to help more people survive.

He held Wen Baizhou's hand and led him into the eight-story building. He smiled and said, "With what you sent us, we can build a vegetable garden like a garden here. Just plant some vegetables that are drought tolerant and don't have strict lighting requirements."

When Yang Qi called him, he was not very excited about the 100 barrels of oil delivered to Bunker No. 01. I just feel that it is not easy for Bunker No. 01 to think about their Bunker No. 13 when they got good things.

But closely followed by 100 barrels of oil are 100 kilograms of uncontaminated seeds and 10 super-large smart planting boxes, as well as 100 pairs of chickens and 100 kilograms of land adhesive.

Such a generous move really shocked Chen Du.

"But the most important thing is the 100 kilograms of land adhesive." Chen Du looked at Wen Baizhou and said with a smile, "Brother Yang told me that this is all your contribution. You can think of our bunker, I Thank you very much."

Wen Baizhou was a little surprised. He knew that Yang Qi would definitely take care of everything else, but he never expected that the most important thing for Bunker 13 was the land adhesive.

"I thought... you might need those chickens more." Wen Baizhou said.

Chen Dan shook his head and said directly: "Our Bunker No. 13 has encountered some difficulties in development. For example, you may all think that we need chickens because the conditions here make it difficult to raise chickens by ourselves. Right?"

Seeing Bai Zhou nodded, Chen Du smiled and said, "Well Bai Zhou, take a closer look. Even if Bunker No. 1 helps us open a breeding farm, how many can we raise?"

He looked around After looking at the fortress he built, he said frankly: "We have no place to breed, and we also lack land."

Wen Baizhou looked at the building in front of him and vaguely understood.

Raising animals requires a dry space with constant temperature and humidity, as well as a large enough space for the animals to survive. The pens are too dense, and perhaps a disease outbreak will take away all the farmed animals.

Bunker No. 13, which is modeled after a science and technology park, does not have the conditions to breed animals. Not to mention the subsequent influx of survivors, further squeezing the living space.

They can breed some on a small scale, but they cannot breed on a large scale, let alone be self-sufficient. Unless the park is further expanded and the surrounding ruins are included in the bunker. But this kind of work cannot be done overnight.

And there's another thing.

Wen Baizhou thought of the densely packed small buildings outside the building.

"Are you unable to even expand the plant factory?" Wen Baizhou asked him.

Chen Dan looked at him and said with a smile: "Brother Yang said you were smart, and you are indeed very smart. We really can't expand the plant factory, so we urgently need this batch of land adhesive."

Bunker No. 13 has resources that can assist the entire Yi. There are plant factories in the city, and the vegetables in these plant factories can even be harvested in two months. But they can only maintain this scale and can no longer expand production.

"Because there is only one chemical plant." Wen Baizhou said, "But it needs to bear the production of daily pharmaceuticals for the entire bunker and even the entire city. And the production of plant nutrient solution also requires a lot of raw materials. Your production capacity is beginning to be insufficient. "

It's not just because of production capacity." Chen Dan said, "We don't even have enough raw materials. The desertification of the land is too serious. Without the land binder, in a few years, our place may completely turn into a desert." . By then, even earthworms will not be able to be cultured."

He said hello to the left and right, and asked them to take Yu Xingye and others to register the special materials into the warehouse, while he took Wen Baizhou and Lu Heng up. building.

"Our bunker is made up of these above-ground buildings and large open buildings with three floors underground." Chen Duan pointed out the window, "Xiaolu has been here a lot and knows what it looks like down there. Bai Zhou, you are smart, you should know that What is the prototype of a three-story open building?"

"Underground parking lot?" Wen Baizhou walked up to him and asked.

Chen Du nodded: "Look."

Looking at Yicheng from a high place, the perception was different again.

Passing by the small buildings in the park one after another, this eight-story building looks like an unyielding alien among the ruins. Standing on it, Wen Baizhou could clearly see the gray horizon through the glass window, as well as the increasing amount of yellow sand in the endless ruins.

Chen Du lives here, and every day he watches the ruins outside the window becoming more and more yellow every day; he watches that even a gust of breeze can bring up a yellow mist. He feels the approach of desertification more than anyone else.

As he looked at all this, his heart became more and more anxious day by day, but he couldn't find any solution.

"It was not easy to build this place back then." He sighed. "It was too chaotic at that time. The first thing I thought about was to open up all the parking lots to accommodate more people. Later, the terrain was determined Once it's down, it won't be easy to change it."

"But fortunately, we are in a science and technology park, and the parking lot is designed as a double-layer mechanical parking space, so the floor height is very high. It can barely be separated by another layer. "Chen Du laughed and said, "Otherwise there are so many people and so many plant factories, it would be really hard to fit them all in."

He handed a cup of hot tea to Wen Baizhou: "You have been walking for a day, are you tired? Try it. Taste, it's made from mint leaves. We have a shelf where we grow mint. When someone has a cold and toothache and no medicine, we make this for them."

Wen Baizhou took a sip, and there was a unique refreshing taste of mint in the warmth: "It's delicious. Thank you, Mr. Chen."

"Your bunker is not short of supplies. This little thing is nothing." Chen Du smiled and said, "Bai Zhou, since Brother Yang asked Lu Heng to bring you here, I won't I'm here to talk to you. As I'm old, I can speak directly when I have something to say."

Chen Du restrained his smile and said, "How much can you produce per year for the land adhesive you produce? We at Bunker No. 13 want to talk to you directly. Trade."

"That land adhesive is currently a trial product. Although our bunker used nearby land and cleaned sand to prepare this batch, it cannot guarantee the effect after large-scale use." Wen Baizhou held up Cup said, "The goal is to bind enough sand to cultivate two acres of land per kilogram. Once the effect is ensured, our production capacity will be very large."

Chen Duan was not satisfied with the answer: "How big is it specifically?"

"You want it? How much?" Wen Baizhou asked.

Chen Dan pointed to the ground: "When this science and technology park was originally planned, it covered an area of ​​10,000 acres. I can't let it turn into a desert." He pointed out the window again: "Then it won't work outside either! "

Bai Zhou, you are young and may not be able to think about future generations. But we - me, your Grandpa Yang, and the people in charge of the various bunkers you have never seen. We have to think about it," Chen Du said. , "If the outside is allowed to turn into sand, will our descendants be able to return to the ground in the future? There is no room for human survival in the desperate situation of the desert." "The

soil adhesive in your bunker is the lifesaver of our No. 13 Bunker Straw. But at the same time, it is also the life-saving straw of this world. How much can I ask for this kind of thing?"

He looked at Wen Baizhou and suddenly softened his eyes: "We can produce as much as you can in Bunker 13. Eat it. If we can't eat it, I'll be responsible for finding another buyer for you."

"As long as there are no problems with the test data," Wen Baizhou paused and said seriously, "We can produce as much as you want."

Chen Chu didn't believe it: "Ten thousand kilograms?"

Wen Baizhou nodded: " Ten thousand kilograms."

Chen Du frowned: "What if I want one hundred thousand kilograms?"

"Then one hundred thousand kilograms."

Wen Baizhou said calmly: "Mr. Chen, I didn't tell you anything when I came here. False. Mr. Yang should have told you that I want plans and information on miniaturization of a controllable nuclear fusion reactor. It is also with sincerity that I followed Captain Lu on this path. Otherwise, I will directly ask Mr. Yang to trade with you. , isn't it the same?"

"Yes, your bunker needs that." Chen Dan nodded, "Then can I think that you can only produce land adhesive on a large scale after you have energy?" "

No. "Wen Baizhou shook his head, "As for land adhesives, we currently only lack data, but not production capacity. We want a fusion reactor of our own to save more people."

This answer made Chen Dan a little bit Accident.

He pondered and walked to the window, looking out at the transport convoys walking like insects among the ruins. After a while, he said: "Okay, I can give you that batch of information. But you have to keep some of it."

He said He looked at Lu Heng and waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, Xiao Lu. I won't do anything to Bai Zhou. I just heard from Brother Yang that you know how to raise chickens. With this batch of one hundred pairs of chicks, maybe we can I still need your help."

"I don't have much experience in breeding. But since you have spoken, of course I have to stay and take a closer look." Wen Baizhou smiled and said, "It's just that maybe Mr. Yang didn't tell you, except I want one more thing, the miniaturization data of the fusion reactor."

Chen Du raised his chin: "Tell me about it."

"Back then, in this science and technology park, there was a technology company that focused on seawater desalination improvement projects, and I heard that, They had achieved great success before the war. Not only did they improve the desalination efficiency, they also reduced their dependence on electricity." Wen Baizhou said bluntly, "I want this."

Chen Du smiled slowly: "This must be Brother Yang I told you."

He looked at Wen Baizhou carefully and said, "I can give this to you. But it's not cheap. What are you going to give in exchange?"

☆ 49. Chapter 48 [First update]

Chapter 48 [First update]

The atmosphere in the room suddenly darkened.

Lu Heng took a step forward and said, "Mr. Chen, as a third party witnessing the transaction between you two, you should not speak out. But..."

He chuckled lightly and said, "You don't think that just Can you get all the land adhesives needed in the future by relying on the data of miniaturizing a fusion reactor? It's not worth the price."

Chen Du looked at him, with a hint of sternness in his gentle look: "Little What you said is a bit inappropriate." He laughed and asked Wen Baizhou: "You think so too?" "

Mr. Chen, to be honest, I have exchanged the nuclear power plant with Bunker 01 All the information." Wen Baizhou said, "It's difficult to create something from scratch. It's not that difficult to go from something to something excellent." "

Then what's the significance of land adhesive?" Chen Dan's face darkened. , "I thought you restored it to save more people."

"Of course." Wen Baizhou said without hesitation, "But before that, I have to make sure that our people can live safely. Mr. Chen, I am here to communicate with you openly and not hide anything from you. It is also because I feel that you and our bunker have a common goal."

He observed Chen Dan's expression, paused and then said: "We all have a common goal. We want more people to survive. But first, we all have to make sure that the people in our bunkers are safe. You need land glue, and our bunkers also need more resources to persist."

Chen Dan smiled half-heartedly . He looked at him and Lu Heng carefully and said nothing.

Wen Baizhou took another sip of the hot mint tea in his hand, and then added slowly: "And, Mr. Chen, you know, given our geographical location, seawater desalination technology is not that important. After all, we are not close to the sea. ."

"Bai Zhou, this is not true." Chen Dan knocked on the table gently, "It's not important, but I'm the only one who has it."

"Mr. Chen, you are really kidding." Wen Bai Zhou said, "I can cross a Yicheng city with a land adhesive, but with it, can't I knock on the door of the next province? With seawater desalination technology, I think the boat market on the seaside is the most indispensable. ."

Chen Du narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt that he had made a mistake.

When Yang Qi talked to him on the phone, he said inside and outside that he was a stupid kid. Don't bully him, otherwise I will settle the score with you.

When they met, Wen Baizhou had a gentle smile, sincere tone, and calm words, and was filled with a simplicity that was incompatible with this world.

He felt that this was indeed a stupid child, no wonder Yang Qi was so protective of him.

But there's nothing wrong with silly kids. Silly, it means that he can get more necessities for Bunker 13. At worst, he would protect Wen Baizhou like Yang Qi.

Who knows, this person may look stupid, but he is very confident in his heart.

I keep talking openly and honestly like this to express my sincerity, and also because I have the glue of the land in my hands, so I am confident.

Chen Du pondered for a long time before asking: "Since you know that there is no sea in Yicheng, what do you need this technology for?" "

Our bunker researchers want to use the water of the Yijiang River." Wen Baizhou said sincerely, "You know, no matter what we do, How to deal with the polluted rainwater and groundwater? This water is not enough. But there is such a big river outside. Our civilization originated from the river, why can't we use it?" This

idea Chen Du was really shocked.

He frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head and said: "You don't understand seawater desalination technology. It is just like the name, it is a technology for desalination and desalination of seawater. It is beyond your imagination. Moreover, the useful aspects of this technology should have been It has been moved into the current water supply system."

"There are more than 20 ways to desalinize seawater." Wen Baizhou said, "They obviously still have a lot of value worth exploring. Our technicians believe that it plays an important role in pretreatment, killing It has more reference value on issues such as the removal of organisms and suspended solids, and equipment scale prevention." "

I am also a technical person. Your ideas are very bold, but I am not optimistic about them." Chen Du said, "You seem to be very lacking. Water."

Wen Baizhou didn't hide anything, but nodded and said: "We are growing a piece of sugar cane. So if you are willing, I can exchange this technology with white sugar. If you want to raise chickens, you can't live without it. Open white sugar."

White sugar.

Chen Du was somewhat satisfied in his heart. He didn't show it on his face and just said, "You gave me chickens in bunker No. 01. So they are waiting here?" "

What you said is wrong." Lu Heng said, "We I sincerely hope that bunker No. 13 can also breed black chickens. With rich nutrition, people can grow better." "

Of course I know." Chen Du chuckled, "What is Brother Yang thinking? I'm younger than you guys. Zai Zi knows. Okay, how much land binder and white sugar do you plan to provide?" "

Two thousand five hundred kilograms of land binder in exchange for all the information for your miniaturized fusion reactor." Wen Baizhou thought for a while and then He added, "Our sugarcane production is also very limited, and 500 kilograms is our limit. Both of these need to be paid over several years."

Chen Dui was not surprised when Wen Baizhou proposed payment in installments.

With the current production capacity of the entire Yicheng, if he said that he could produce it in one go, Chen Tuo would suspect that there was something wrong with it.

He pondered for a long time, calculated in his mind for a long time, and then said: "Yes. But you must deliver it within five years."

"Five years..." Wen Baizhou lowered his head and thought for a long time, then reluctantly said, "Okay. Then we Sign the contract now?"

Chen Tu waved his hand: "The contract has no meaning. Bai Zhou, I believe in you, and I also believe in Bunker 01's determination to make the world a better place. Since Bunker 01 has witnessed it, then use There is no contract. You have to know that if you don't keep the appointment as scheduled, you will offend the two big bunkers."

"Of course, I know very well."

Wen Baizhou turned the cup in his hand, then put down the cup and stood up with his knees propped up, smiling. : "Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

"Bo Zhou, it's a pleasure to cooperate." Chen Du extended his hand.

The two hands were clasped together, and they were both dry.

Chen Dan let go of his hand and said, "I'll have someone take you to the rest room. I'll trouble you to run to the breeding area in the next few days."

"No problem." Wen Baizhou said with a smile.

The lounge arranged for him in Bunker No. 13 was not underground, but on the third floor of the eight-story building. Next to it is the small suite used by the transport team from Bunker 01 when they come to Bunker 13.

Wen Baizhou entered his room. As soon as Chen Du's people left, he immediately said, "I'm going to be so nervous!"

Lu Heng smiled after hearing this: "I see you are very capable."

"No!" Wen Baizhou He shook his head repeatedly.

Chen Du is completely different from Yang Qi. He is not the kind of old man who would restrain his sense of oppression in front of juniors.

Wen Baizhou's nerves were tense throughout the whole process. His heart beat rapidly from the beginning to gradually slowing down later. He didn't dare to make any mistake in his expression.

I was so nervous that I was sweating all over, even my palms were covered in hot sweat. If he hadn't specially wiped his hands on his knees, Chen Duan would have noticed his nervousness when they shook hands.

"You performed very well." Lu Heng said, "There are no flaws at all."

Hearing what he said, Wen Baizhou was stunned for a moment before nodding.

He didn't know what was going on, but those half-truths and half-false words came out of his mouth. Although Yang Qi reminded him not to reveal his origins. But you can tell lies so smoothly...

"I didn't expect that." He lowered his head and said with some disappointment, "I think I might have grown up a little."

Lu Heng looked at him quietly, and after a while, he suddenly reached out and touched his lowered forehead. Head: "Don't you like this change?"

Wen Baizhou looked at the ground steadily and shook his head after a while. He looked up at Lu Heng and said, "There's nothing I like or dislike. I thought about it and I think I did nothing wrong."

Chen Du wanted to fight for the interests of his own people. He wants it too.

Chen Dan wants to protect more people. He wants it too.

He did nothing wrong.

"Okay, we can arrange the next step." Wen Baizhou cheered up, "I'm going to stay here for a while. Should you go back to Bunker 01 first or go together?" "

Ye Chi and Guiyao will bring the supplies first. Go back in one step." Lu Heng said, "When you get the information, we will go back too."

Of course there is no need to say where to go.

After a night's rest, Wen Baizhou went to work the next day.

The breeding area in Bunker 13 was established after the mutated pigs were domesticated in Bunker 01. It is also a two-story building in the park.

When Wen Baizhou went over wearing protective clothing, one hundred pairs of chicks sent from Bunker 01 had already moved in.

These chickens have been raised in No. 01 bunker for more than half a month and have grown up a lot. As long as the temperature and humidity are controlled in Bunker No. 13, there will basically be no major problems.

The staff in the breeding area memorized the breeding manual written in Bunker No. 01 overnight. When Bai Zhou came over and the two parties introduced themselves, the staff immediately asked: "I read the manual and said that the temperature of chickens this week old must be maintained at 20. Come here, and the lighting time is 13 hours a day. We don't have a special lamp set like Bunker 01 here. Can we just use ordinary lamps?"

Wen Baizhou nodded: "It can be kept, but it may not grow long. That's great."

"As long as it can be maintained," the staff member said immediately, "The light set can be configured at the back. And about the air..." "

I suggest you connect to the circulation system. The park is not closed, although the air has no radiation ability, But chicks are relatively fragile. Without circulation and purification, chicks are prone to disease outbreaks." "

As for the feed...don't be surprised, it's our first time raising this kind of chicken, and we really don't know how to start."

"It's okay." Wen Baizhou said with a smile, "Actually, I don't raise much, so I can only give you some very superficial experience. It depends more on you. The feed must ensure a certain calcium intake, and you can add minced vegetables to it." Some calcium powder. If you have earthworms to breed, you can give some."

He spent almost the whole day in the breeding area.

Bunker No. 13 is not as convenient as Bunker No. 01. There is an above-ground fortress connecting the interior of the mountain to the underground. When in Bunker 01, you pretty much just wear your own clothes. As long as you don't leave the bunker, you don't need to wear protective clothing.

But here in Bunker 13, only residential areas, schools and hospitals are underground. When going to other places in the park, protective clothing is essential protection.

Therefore, many staff members enter the work area and are too lazy to come out. It's not until I get off work in the evening that I put on protective clothing and return to the bunker again.

Wen Baizhou followed them and worked in the breeding area for a few days. After Lu Heng and the others also went to the plant factory to learn a lot of experience, Chen Duan finally found them in person.

"There are about five types of seawater desalination that this science and technology park focuses on. There are also some other related information. As for the miniaturized information you need, I can only give you the electronic file."

Chen Du said frankly: "We need the paper file ourselves. Keep a backup for reference in special occasions, so I can't give it to you. But I guarantee that the contents of the electronic file are consistent with the paper file."

Wen Baizhou nodded without hesitation: "Okay. I believe Mr. Chen."

"I will ask someone to All the materials will be sent to your chariot." Chen Dan said, "What are your plans next?" "After

loading the materials, we are ready to leave." Wen Baizhou said, "Don't worry, I will be there in two months I'll send you the first batch of supplies within two months."

Chen Duan didn't believe he could make the round trip within two months.

Most of the supplies had already arrived at Bunker No. 01, and just waiting for him to conclude the negotiation, they would start from Bunker No. 01 and deliver the "deposit" to him.

But he smiled and said: "I believe in me, and I naturally believe in you. But I suggest you wait a moment."

He turned his head and looked at the sky outside.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, but something seemed to be brewing behind the clouds.

"It looks like it's going to rain today," Chen Du said.

☆ 50. Chapter 49 [Second update]

Chapter 49 [Second update]

The black clouds in the sky were blown away by the high-altitude wind, like a mess of black cloth.

There was thunder like the roar of an airplane, slowly brewing behind the cloud curtain.

Lian Sheng sat at the front of the chariot and watched the black clouds being torn apart by the purple light for a moment: "This battle looks quite big."

"I'm afraid it's going to be a big one." Yu Xingye also said.

It took Chen Dan's people some time to stuff all the information into the tank with them. After finishing this, they went back to asking people in the work area to evacuate back to the bunker.

There are a large number of newly built work areas in Bunker 13 without air circulation and filtration devices. Whenever acid rain strikes, the staff have to retreat to the bunker.

"Little ancestor, what are you doing now?" Yu Xingye asked after closing the trunk. "If we wait for this battle, I don't know how long we will have to wait. If we leave now, we probably have to hurry up."

Wen Baizhou didn't even think about it . , looked directly at Lu Heng: "Are you leaving?"

Lu Heng pondered for a moment and asked him: "Are you in a hurry?"

Wen Baizhou nodded, then shook his head: "How long do you think this rain will last?"

"The battle is so big, little ancestor, if you have to wait, I'm afraid you have to be prepared for ten days and a half." Yu Xingye interjected.

Lian Sheng also said: "The cloud looks quite big, it may keep falling for a long time."

After hearing what they said, Lu Heng also nodded. Wen Baizhou gritted his teeth and asked, "If we set off now, is it too dangerous?"

Lu Heng said directly, "Leave the ruins of the city as soon as possible before the rain comes. After leaving, the rain is too heavy, so find a supply point. Repair."

When he said the words "supply point", he glanced at Wen Baizhou.

Wen Baizhou understood what he meant and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's do it."

Acid rain in urban areas, compared with its own harm, the secondary dangers it causes are more alarming. Once bad luck occurs and a house collapses, a chain reaction is likely to occur.

After making a plan, the four of them quickly got in the car.

Lu Heng led Wen Baizhou to clear the way ahead, with Lian Sheng and Yu Xingye following closely behind. The two tanks stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, trying to seize the last moment to rush out of the city.

The purple light in the sky flashed more and more intensely, and the dull rumbling sound became more and more intense.

They drove faster and faster amidst the thunder, gradually moving away from the core area of ​​the city where Bunker 13 was located.

Leaving the core area, the ruins gradually increased, and transport trucks from various bunkers were lined up and driving in.

When they met them, someone honked their horn and asked loudly with a loudspeaker: "Brother, why are you leaving the fort at this time? A heavy rain is coming. It is dangerous for you to go out now!" "

There is an urgent mission." Lu Heng replied.

Hearing what he said, the transport truck in front slowly moved to make way for them.

Lu Heng blew his whistle all the way to express his thanks, and the chariot speeded past in the narrow road.

Just as they drove out of the densely populated urban area, a dazzling purple light flashed across -

"Boom -!"

The huge thunder made the world seem to tremble.

The heavy rain followed, making the chariot rattle. Clouds of white mist suddenly appeared on the road ahead.

This situation looks very much like acid rain corrosion, but the sound sounds very strange.

Wen Baizhou looked sideways at the car window with some surprise: "What's going on, why is this sound?"

Those crackling sounds didn't sound like raindrops at all, it was more like... pebbles hitting?

"Snow." Lu Heng stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, "It's just small ice particles." He looked sideways at the rearview mirror, and when he saw the car behind him, he looked away again: "The cold air is coming. Winter will come early this year. Put on your helmet and hold on to your gauntlets."

Wen Baizhou quickly put on his own helmet, and was about to put it on Lu Heng too, when he saw Lu Heng shake his head: "Hold on."

He quickly grabbed the hand guard next to the car door.

Lu Heng suddenly turned the steering wheel, and the chariot swerved to avoid half of the crumbling tall buildings on the side. Lian Sheng accelerated to keep up.

Just as the two cars passed by, a low roar came from behind.

Large swaths of gray-yellow sand and dust rose into the sky, and the cement and stones fell to the ground and smashed into small pieces, leaving only the steel bars standing in place.

Wen Baizhou's knuckles holding the gauntlet turned white. He looked at the yellow mist rising in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but said, "Let's find a place to go back."

"Wait a little longer." Lu Heng said, " This place is not remote enough."

In such a place, a small intact villa suddenly appeared, which was a bit too conspicuous. Even if no one travels on a rainy day, you can still see the possibility of seeing a small villa from the high-rise building of Bunker 13.

The gray-yellow fog gradually became thicker on the road.

Some were caused by the collapse of houses, and some were brought by snow and sleet.

With their headlights on, the two cars drove through the crackling snow for half an hour before finally arriving at the edge of the city.

Lu Heng made another sharp turn and rushed directly to a group of villas on the edge of the city with his chariot.

The villa complex was not bombed back then, but after decades of wind and rain, only some ruins were left. The remaining usable materials in the house have been cleared away long ago. Not even the tree trunks are left from the dense greenery. The house with no roof and few windows makes people lose interest in exploring.

Even the people on the ground are not interested in coming to this area.

Lu Heng drove the chariot around the villa area to check, then turned the steering wheel and ran towards the place he was interested in.

"Bai Zhou," he stared at the road ahead, "get ready to open the door."

Under the headlights, the road ahead was turned gray and yellow by the snow. Wen Baizhou stared at him and kept thinking about the small villa at home.

As the chariot made its second lap, a warm orange light gradually appeared in the gray-yellow mist.

The moment the gate was revealed, the chariot accelerated away.

* * *

The "Peng Peng" sound of the iron door being opened alerted the people staying behind in the small villa.

They rushed into the backyard and happened to see the second chariot rushing into the backyard.

"Slow down, be careful not to crash!" Yan Feng shouted, "What's going on? Are you in danger?" "

No, avoid the hail!" Wen Baizhou walked out of the door and shouted to them, "I brought back another batch of information. Yan Zhong will ask you to go to Building 1."

Yan Feng immediately understood what this batch of information was and asked people to carry it while urging them to enter the house.

They came back at just the right time, and the small villa was filled with the warm aroma of food.

The four of them got out of the car, salivating at the food on the table, and entered the examination room skillfully and proactively.

The doctor was already in place in the examination room.

After careful examination, the doctor put away the examination instruments and said with a smile: "The condition looks good this time. There is no danger, right?" "It's not

bad this time." Wen Baizhou nodded, "Everything has been arranged in Bunker No. 01 Okay."

"That's good." The doctor said reassuringly, "It's okay. Change your clothes and go eat. There must be nothing delicious over there. Look, you've lost weight again."

"This is the result of my training." Wen Baizhou smiled. He picked up the home clothes on the hospital bed, waved to the doctor who was about to leave the room, and waited until the door of the examination room was closed before changing clothes.

When winter is approaching in 2099, the air conditioner is still on in the small villa in 2025.

This is the hottest September in Yujing, and the scorching summer sun is enough to dazzle everything on the roadside. Wearing short-sleeved home clothes, he took a bottle of mineral water from the small refrigerator in the examination room, and then walked out of the room calmly.

Lu Heng and others also changed into similar home clothes.

It seemed that they had not worn short-sleeved and short-sleeved clothes for a long time, and they looked a bit unaccustomed to them. Yu Xingye would pull on his sleeves from time to time, as if he wanted to pull his short sleeves into long sleeves.

"Aren't you used to it?" Wen Baizhou walked over and sat down, "Shall I buy you a long-sleeved set?"

Yu Xingye thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Then forget it. We just went to the third floor to experience it. Come on, it's quite hot here."

Through the sugar bowl-like glass roof of the garden on the third floor, they could feel the scorching temperature and see the sky that seemed to be burned by fire.

In the evening, orange fire clouds roll up in the sky, and a golden thread as bright as a blade is about to set on the horizon. The sun seemed to have forced a hole in the sky, and the blazing heat of the flames poured down from the sky.

It is light and heat that I have never seen before.

"I just took a look. The temperature seems to be 40 degrees today, which is quite hot." Wen Baizhou said, "We're not going out anyway, so we don't care how hot it is."

Yan Feng passed by and listened to what they said, so he casually said Said: "That's not necessarily the case. Baizhou, you have to go to Building 1 after eating."

Yu Xingye laughed when he heard this: "Forty Degrees is waiting for you!"

Wen Baizhou drank ice water and gestured to Yan Feng He made a gesture: "Always listen to the tune."

Lu Heng turned on the TV on the side and skillfully adjusted the TV channel to the news station.

Not two minutes after I tuned in, I heard the announcer say: "Recently, the biennial international art exhibition was held in Yuecheng, China. Two sets of paintings by Chinese young artist Wen Baizhou were selected for the international art exhibition." As soon as the

voice fell, the picture It cuts to the painting.

Amidst the emerald green, a pure white dragon god emerged from the river. It brought a drizzle of rain and enveloped the farmers plowing under the sky.

Next to the painting, there is a palm-sized photo of Wen Baizhou.

The young man smiled brightly next to his work.

"It is reported that the theme of this international art exhibition is 'Tradition and Modernity'. It attracted artists from 169 countries around the world to participate, and 938 works were selected for exhibition, which attracted strong attention at home and abroad. Yue Cheng International The art exhibition shows the world the latest achievements in the art world, allowing contemporary art to build a connection with the world..."

Following the host's voice, the picture jumped from "Spring Plowing Picture of the God of Two Chariots" to a close-up photo of Wen Baizhou, and then to Jump to another screen again.

It is a set of four-season pictures called "Home", which depict the four seasons of the village. The artist introduction posted next to it has the three characters "Wen Baizhou".

"Wow!" Yu Xingye applauded, "Are our little ancestors so awesome!"

Lian Sheng also turned his head in surprise: "Xiao Wen, are you so good at painting? Then you still dare to use your hands Go grab the door?! Your hands are so valuable!"

He seemed to be able to feel the emotion expressed in the painting even through the camera. Looking at the set of village pictures, Lian Sheng couldn't help but think of Bunker No. 01.

His home is far from as beautiful as the changing seasons, but he has a tender attachment to his home just as the painter expressed.

People who paint have exceptionally strong emotional expression.

Wen Baizhou was stunned as he watched the minute-long introduction of Central News.

Hearing their compliments, he came back to his senses belatedly. He blinked blankly, then blinked hard,

"I..." He rubbed his cheek fiercely, "Of course I'm great, and I will become even more powerful in the future!"

He put down his hand and laughed: "In the future I'll draw one for you too!"

☆ 51. Chapter 50 [First update]

Chapter 50 [Update 1]

Lu Heng has seen Wen Baizhou's "Ruins Lecture Picture".

That was the first time he saw a real painting, rather than a photographed print.

The painting was rich in color and bold. The sun behind Teacher Qi was just like the sky he saw today, like a flame that could sweep everything.

The emotions that Wen Baizhou continued to express with his brushes were like the fire that instantly invaded everyone present.

On that day, when the painting first appeared in the experimental classroom of Bunker 01, it was not only the children who were shocked, but also Lu Heng, who personally tore open the frame and packaged the painting.

Of course he knew how talented Wen Baizhou was in "painting".

Now when he saw the "Spring Plowing Picture of Two Chariot Gods" that had been remembered for many years, he felt a completely different emotion from it.

Like drizzle and silk infiltration.

Every stroke of color dropped by the brush is full of tender emotions. The person who painted truly loved everything he painted.

But with such hands, there is a scar across the palm.

That scar may take a long time to fade away.

Lu Heng turned his head and looked quietly at Wen Baizhou who was arguing with Yu Xingye.

His eyes are bright, his cheeks are slightly red, and he has a vitality that is completely different from the emotions expressed in the picture.

The TV report on the international art exhibition has finished, and the host started to read the next news. Lu Heng never looked away. He looked at Wen Baizhou quietly.

Until Wen Baizhou turned his head and looked at him: "?"

Lu Heng looked away and looked down at the food on the table: "Eat."

Wen Baizhou said "oh" and jumped up to get his own Tableware.

He didn't forget that he still had to go to Building 1, so he ate quickly after getting a bowl. After washing the dishes, he asked Lu Heng and the others: "Do you want to eat something cold?"

Yu Xingye was always interested in eating, and asked as soon as he heard it: "What are some?"

Wen Baizhou said in one breath: "Cold shrimp, cold skin" , cold noodles, cold dishes, cold cakes, jelly, herbal tea."

Yu Xingye: "???"

Yu Xingye: "You can eat everything cold, right?"

Wen Baizhou thought for a while: "It seems so. Still. There are ice cream, milk tea, shaved ice, and ice bowls."

"Milk tea sounds very unsociable in there." Yu Xingye commented.

Lian Sheng was both curious and a little afraid: "What are cold shrimps? Frozen shrimps? Sashimi shrimps?" "

It's a rice snack. It's sweet." Wen Baizhou said, "I want to go there first. Wait, wait until I come back and ask the cafeteria if they have made snacks today. If not, I will ask General Yan if he can order takeout."

"Okay!" The two of them agreed in unison, "You go ahead and go."

A meal By that time, the sky had darkened.

The temperature in Yujing is always gentler than that in Yicheng. Without direct sunlight, the temperature has dropped. Unlike Yicheng, even if the sun goes down, the heat can still make people restless.

Wen Baizhou used his baseball cap as a fan and ran quickly to Building 1 while fanning his hat.

On the fifth floor, the professors have skillfully disassembled the electronic storage provided by Bunker 13 and copied the miniaturization plan data inside to the encrypted computer in the building.

When Wen Baizhou arrived, they were each holding a computer and watching intently.

He walked in quietly, sat down on the stool in the corner obediently, and looked around at the professors curiously. At this moment, he discovered that Professor Wu Shuowei seemed not to be in this large conference room.

Just as he was wondering, he heard Professor Sun speak cheerfully: "Xiao Wen is here. Who are you looking for with those big eyes of yours?"

Wen Baizhou smiled sheepishly: "Hello, teachers. I just found out It seems that Teacher Wu Shuowei is not here."

"He made a report and went out. There are some things to deal with." Professor Sun said, "Xiao Wen, come here, tell me how you came up with the idea of ​​bringing back seawater desalination technology?"

"I just heard that this technology is actually tied to controllable nuclear fusion." Wen Baizhou said, "It requires a lot of energy, and controllable nuclear fusion is unlimited energy. The materials needed for controllable nuclear fusion are in the sea It exists widely, and it requires seawater. And seawater desalination technology will produce high-concentration concentrated seawater. If no treatment method can be found, they will be discarded."

Professor Sun laughed: "They are quite suitable. It's a pity that we didn't find it before. Experts in this field are here. Lieutenant General Yan has already reported it to the contact person."

He took Wen Baizhou and sat down: "This technology is a technology that our country attaches great importance to. We have also developed quite well ourselves. Whether it is a seawater desalination project studied and constructed by oneself or a project constructed in cooperation with neighboring countries, the designed production capacity is already very good, and the annual growth rate is also very high."

Looking at Wen Baizhou's somewhat surprised eyes, Professor Sun sighed and smiled: "But as you know, this is a technology that consumes too much energy, and the cost of national investment is also very huge. In recent years, relevant research has been working on the desalination rate and energy consumption indicators. Our researchers have also achieved A very good achievement, greatly reducing energy consumption."

"But this is not enough, right?" Wen Baizhou asked softly.

Professor Sun smiled and nodded: "The current water price of desalinated water, even including the national water subsidy, is still twice the water price in Yujing. In some cities with abundant water resources...such as Yicheng, which you are familiar with, The price of water is three times that of ordinary water."

He patted Wen Baizhou's hand and sighed: "Don't underestimate the difference, which seems to be only a few dollars. A little adds up to a lot, and a family needs more every month. Spending a few hundred yuan will add up to thousands of yuan a year. It is a huge burden for many families. Our country is short of water, so we are desperately developing this technology and desperately trying to keep the cost down. Xiao Wen, you did a great job, very well."

He held Wen Baizhou's hand firmly, his eyes were particularly kind: "You have done a lot. Next, just give them what you promised to 2099, and you can rest. Take a break. If you don't go out, that door will bring the villa all over the world. Maybe it's good to let others come to us."

Wen Baizhou listened to his words quietly. He thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "I don't want to rest for the time being. I still have a lot of things I want to do. Teacher Sun... do you know any experts in lung disease?"

Professor Sun was surprised when he heard this: "Why? Are you sick? Are you sick?"

Wen Baizhou said: "It's not me, but I have a medical record and want to find an expert to take a look."

He originally wanted to go back and ask Professor Wen, but Professor Sun was an academician. He looked at himself His eyes were also particularly kind, making him feel like he could try to ask for help.

"Pulmonology expert... Lao He, can you please He Xulin?" Professor Sun said, "He is an academician of the Academy of Sciences, specializing in lung cancer. Give me your medical records, and I will ask him to take a look at it."

"It's on the phone." Wen Bai Zhou quickly handed over his mobile phone, "Teacher Qi's lectures are also on the mobile phone."

Professor Sun pulled out both of them. He first clicked on the case to take a look and confirmed that the patient was not Wen Baizhou. Then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay. , I will contact Lao He for you. You can wait with peace of mind. Just have a good rest these days, and we will study it according to Teacher Qi's course."

After Wen Baizhou left, Professor Sun called up the cases again and looked at them carefully. .

He asked Wen Baizhou to come over, originally for the video of Teacher Qi's class. But now when he looked at this case, his brows furrowed more and more.

The patient is 68 years old, has blood type A, and is suspected of early stage lung cancer...

radiation disease? At this age...who is he in Bunker No. 01? It can't be their Teacher Qi, right?

The more Professor Sun thought about it, the more wrong he became. He immediately got up and called lung cancer expert He Xulin.

He chatted with He Xulin for a long time, then returned to the big conference room and said, "Xiao Wen has brought back Teacher Qi's new course. Everyone is here, let's listen to it first." ...

Wen

Baizhou left. Building No. 1, but did not go back to the small villa immediately.

This time I didn't stay in Building 1 for too long, and I asked Professor Sun what I was worried about. For a moment, he felt that he had nothing to do, so he wandered around the door for a while, then remembered that he wanted to treat someone to a snack, so he slipped to the canteen.

The canteen only made a few cold dishes today. When he saw him asking, he smiled and said, "Xiao Wen, want to eat? We'll make some for you."

Wen Baizhou shook his head: "Don't bother me. Can I leave the park? ? Go outside to pick up a takeaway."

"Okay, why not." The staff member smiled and said, "When you go out, just take our comrades on duty at the door with you. Mainly to protect you." "

I know. Hey, I'll be right back." Wen Baizhou waved his hand, ordered takeout, and walked out.

The address he clicked on was the entrance to a nearby park. After ordering through a series of various cold snacks, he went to buy some ice cream.

After finishing, he said hello at the door and dragged a little soldier to go to the park with him.

When the two arrived at the park, the takeaway had not yet arrived. At the gate of the park, there are many old people waving fans to enjoy the cool air.

Some of them were sitting in the shade of the trees chatting; others were holding birdcages and showing off their little birds together. Wen Baizhou curiously went over to take a look. Before he could chat with the grandfathers, he was interrupted by a call from the deliveryman.

He ran to the door to get takeout, and found some old men playing chess together under the shade of the trees on the other side.

Maybe someone regretted their chess move, and they were calling each other a "stinky chess basket" in high spirits.

Wen Baizhou looked at this scene and was suddenly stunned.

It wasn't until the second takeout call came that the delivery boy asked him where he was, and then said with a smile: "Are you having an event in the park? I bought so much at one time."

Wen Baizhou smiled: "It's a gathering of friends."

He treated the other party to a stick of ice cream, and then asked the little soldier to hold a bag for him. Then he took out his mobile phone and made a call.

I waited for a while before someone answered.

"Hello?" Lu Heng's voice came from the other side of the phone, "Is this Bai Zhou?"

"Brother Heng." Wen Baizhou called him, "Let's bring some gifts back to Grandpa Yang."

Lu Heng was startled when he heard this. , he stood up and walked to the backyard, looking through the door at the increasingly pouring snow outside: "You have already given us a lot."

"Not for the ones in Bunker No. 1." Wen Baizhou said, "Give him one." A gift for a person, a gift that belongs to him alone. Let us give him a gift."
