Chapter 25 Not enough manpower

  The cheers came from the cement kiln.

  Chu Guang walked in and saw that Fang Chang and Lao Bai were stacking a pile of light gray powder on the ground, adding water and sand and stirring it into a paste-like slurry.

   According to a rough estimate, this batch of cement is only about 20 kilograms.

  Because it is a trial firing, there are not many firings in this batch. Judging from the volume of the filling port of the cement kiln, it should be no problem to process half a ton a day.

  Although it is not as good as professional production equipment, it is barely usable.

   "Dear Manager!"

   noticed Chu Guang coming here, the two players dropped the tools in their hands and greeted him excitedly.

"cement!"

   "We finally made Portland cement!"

   This is really not easy.

  In order to make the temperature in the cement kiln reach above 1450 degrees, the two of them worked their lives to rub the blower, adding charcoal to the shovel after shovel, and the unicorn arm was almost finished.

   Especially Lao Bai, his genetic sequence is a power system, and he is about to upgrade in the past three days!

   "You guys did a great job."

  Chu Guang looked at them approvingly, nodded and said.

   "With these cements, we are a big step closer to the first phase of the plan. The sanctuary will remember your contributions, and each of you will be rewarded with 1000 contribution points!"

   The two players had happy expressions on their faces.

   These days of hard work really paid off!

   However, what they didn't know was that the NPC and dog planner standing in front of them had already begun to figure out how to recover these super-issued "currency" in their hands.

  Inflation is too fast, it will affect the life of the game.

  Or...

   Open a gashapon function?

  1000 Contribution Points drawn once?

   is not impossible.

   Just when Chu Guang was thinking about how to make it more appropriate, Fang Chang and Lao Bai looked at each other and said respectfully to him.

   "Master Manager, there is one thing I have to report to you!"

"Say."

   "Now that the cement has been fired, we need more people to start the construction of the outpost!"

  Chu Guang looked at them both.

   "How many people do you need?"

   Lao Bai hurriedly said.

"At least ten people! Of course, the more the better! The cement kiln needs manual blasting for calcination. Two people can operate one kiln in shifts, and soon we will build the second one. This will take four people! Transport from the site At least four stones are needed, and the rest to build walls and houses, no matter what, more than eight.”

  Chu Guang calculated in his heart.

   This can't be sixteen people?

   The current food reserve at the outpost is only enough for seven people including himself to eat for a week. The population has suddenly tripled, and I don’t know if the logistics can handle it.

  Chu Guang hesitated again and again, but finally decided to take a gamble.

   is now number 9.

  September is nearly a third of the way through, and it will be hard to finish the outpost before winter if you don’t work harder.

"okay, I get it."

   nodded, looking at the two players, Chu Guang continued.

   "I will apply to my superiors for support. Three days later, a group of new members will wake up from dormancy and come to the surface to join our cause."

   Hearing this sentence, happy expressions appeared on the faces of Lao Bai and Fang Chang.

  With the addition of new people, their infrastructure plans will be much easier than now!

   Not only that, Fang Chang’s conjecture has also been verified.

   The authority of this NPC is not only as simple as a simple NPC, but it can even affect the process of the game's packaging and testing.

   This made Fang Chang couldn't help but think of the fantasy setting of online games in early online novels——

   [The game runs on a supercomputer with unlimited computing power. The game company has formulated a worldview framework, and the content is completely dynamically generated by AI. 】

   Maybe the wasteland OL is like this!

   Fang Chang got more excited the more he thought about it.

   He felt that he understood again.

  …

   With carpenters and cooks, players’ working conditions and quality of life have been visibly improved.

   With the help of [WC Really Has Mosquito], Lao Bai and Fang Chang's construction team obtained the molds for making mud bricks, and also helped Gu Feng and Ye Shi to improve the fishing traps.

   Even used tree stumps to make a wooden toilet that does not cut the buttocks for the toilet.

   Now I can finally sit on the toilet.

   It’s just that not everyone likes this kind of toilet.

   For example, a strong wind.

  This guy seems to be a bit of a clean freak. Even in the game, he can't accept using a toilet that other people have used. He stubbornly dug a hole next to the original toilet and inserted wood to cover it.

  Thanks to this, the outpost now has a second toilet.

   But compared to these insignificant things, the most surprising thing is the fishing plan of this guy and Ye Shi.

   With the help of improved traps, the two finally caught the first fish before evening.

   And it's a big fish!

  Looking at the appearance, it should belong to catfish.

   The reason why he said "should" is because the thick lips and head are really big and bizarre, the dark blue patterns are scattered with white spots, and the tentacles are dotted with coral-like red whiskers.

   Obviously, this is also a mutant after mutation.

   Looking at the "big guy" who fluttered in the trap and wanted to escape, Gu Feng and Ye Shi were so excited that they were about to cry, and they didn't mind how ugly this guy's appearance was.

  Three days!

   Three full days!

   Finally let them catch one!

   Taking advantage of the fact that the big bird hovering in the sky and the beasts by the lake did not find it, they quickly dragged the big guy from the lake to the shore with a trap, and brutally beat him to death with steel rods.

   Until it was completely dead, its head and tail were tied to the steel bars with ropes, and they were carried one after the other, bringing the still twitching dead fish back to the outpost.

   "Brother scrambled eggs, look, can you eat this stuff?"

   "Fuck? What is this."

   Staring at the catfish that Gu Feng and Ye Shi had thrown on the ground, and the [Tomato Scrambled Egg] that was making the smoked fish rack, his eyes were about to pop out.

   He has been cooking food for half his life, and this is the first time he has seen such a big catfish with his own eyes.

   The fish head alone can fill a washbasin.

   Saying this thing is thrown into the lake, can other fish still live? ? ?

  Catfish eat meat!

   "It should be a catfish," said the wind.

   "Nonsense, of course I know it's a catfish," Scrambled Egg squatted down and opened its fish lips and glanced at it, then tugged again, smashing his tongue, "Good guy... I'm afraid it weighs hundreds of pounds!"

   Ye Shi hurriedly asked.

   "Can you make smoked fish?"

   "Who uses catfish for smoked fish..." The scrambled egg continued speechlessly, "This thing has a lot of fat, and there is moisturizing mucus on the surface. It's quite troublesome to handle. I don't know if it can dehydrate."

   "Then what?" Gu Feng asked.

   "I haven't tried it yet, let's try it first..." Glancing at the smoked fish rack that he had been making for a long time, the scrambled eggs fell silent.

   A hundred kilograms of fish would definitely be crushed when put on it.

   Can only redo...

  …

   At dusk.

  Brother Scrambled Egg took the place of the manager and cooked a pot of fish head soup for the players. Practice has proved that this thing is indeed edible.

   And the taste is surprisingly good.

Although there is no tofu as a side dish, and no onion, ginger, and garlic cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, the scrambled egg brother still uses his superb cooking skills, only seasoning with salt and soy sauce, and makes a pot of fish head soup that is still fresh and not greasy. .

  The players ate and burst into tears.

   Brother Scrambled Egg and Mosquito were pleasantly surprised by the taste in the game, and the other four players were moved by the fact that they finally had a bite of normal food.

   woo woo, it's not easy...

   The line was dropped at 6 o'clock in the evening, and in reality it was exactly 6 o'clock in the morning.

   The beta test players just got out of the game, and before they could board the Penguin, the news in the Bull and Horse Club group exploded.

  Quit Smoking: [Fuck! Check out the official website! 】

  Master is so proud of me: [You haven't given up yet...]

  Quit Smoking: [Break a hundred? ! What the hell, there are so many living people in our group? ? ? 】

  Quitting Smoking: [I'm 豮艸芔茻! 】
