Chapter 98 A New Beginning
It is not easy to build human civilization from scratch on a wasteland.
In fact, after choosing a settlement, the advance team only celebrated one night and immediately devoted themselves to the intense and arduous work the next morning.
The first thing to do is to transport all supplies and equipment from the Pegasus to the settlement.
Before departure, the land reclamation group purchased two trucks as the main means of transport, and they were also the first to be unloaded from the ship, loaded with insulation tents and part of building materials, and drove to the settlement first.
There were two teams with about 30 members of the advance team. The remaining twenty people except the driver went to help set up tents. After all, accommodation problems need to be solved first. Otherwise, so many people in the advance team would not sleep in the wild. With such a low temperature, most of them probably wouldn't be able to open their eyes early the next morning.
Father Bastian was also among them, and he led and managed the construction of the settlement.
As for Father Erikson, he led others to continue unloading goods from the ship, including food, water and the seeds mentioned earlier, as well as some machinery and daily necessities, which were valuable assets of the land reclamation group. At nine o'clock in the evening, he finally moved everything to the land.
During this period, the two trucks kept shuttled back and forth between the settlements and the coastline, leaving only the last two batches of supplies and about fifty people to complete transportation.
At this time, the sky began to darken. Father Erikson glanced at the time and decided temporarily that the remaining people would not rush to the settlement tonight, but would rest on the Pegasus for another night, and Weize and Two Thousand Five were among the fifty people.
This night is destined to be sleepless for many people. Although it is exciting to finally get rid of the seven-month drift on the sea and return to land, everyone's hearts are unwilling to feel nervous when they think that Pegasus will set off for a return tomorrow.
Because in this way, only advance teams are left on this huge continent. As soon as Pegasus leaves, they will completely cut off contact with the civilized world on the other side of the planet. At least before the communication base station is established, it is impossible to send or receive any messages to the outside world.
Everything depends on yourself, no hospital, no police, no firefighting, any minor mistakes or accidents, such as a fire that occurs in a food storage room, which may kill everyone. This is the cruelty of the pioneering world.
The famous westward movement on the American continent that year left endless corpses. You should know that at that time the Puritans were facing large fertile land, but now the land reclamation team is trying to conquer this frozen soil and wasteland. Although the technological level has taken a huge leap compared to that time, the difficulty level is not inferior.
During the day, Weize was not idle either. Even though he had a good relationship with Father Erikson, one of the leaders of the land reclamation group, and his fiancée (maybe it should be more appropriate to call them a couple now, because the two had already held their wedding at the party last night).
But he knew very well that everyone needed to contribute during the land reclamation. In any social form, when productivity has not developed to a certain extent and overproduction occurs, it is difficult to accommodate people who are idle all day long. Although the advance team has sufficient material reserves now, it is still necessary to wait at least seventeen months before the next group of people reaches it.
It is obvious that this batch of supplies cannot last at that time, and everyone has witnessed the danger of crossing the ice ring belt with their own eyes. They must also prepare for the worst. If there is any accident in the second batch of people and the supply company, they cannot sit still and wait for death. The safest solution is to find a way to be self-sufficient as soon as possible.
Weize took the last hot shower on the boat, washed away the sweat and fatigue from his body, wrapped his lower body in a bath towel, and walked to the 2,500-year-old, who was already waiting for him with his textbook in his hand.
The days I traveled through the Ice Ring Belt were too boring and boring. Even the surprisingly lazy guy like the Bounty Hunter had to turn to tutor for about 2,500 because he couldn't find an effective way to recreate.
The facts proved that the previous sheep education was useless. Although she sat quietly there every day and flirted with books by herself, the words she recognized were very limited and she was basically just flipping the illustrations inside. Fortunately, she was not annoyed when she could read them for so long. Weize even had an illusion that she thought she could learn by herself and didn't have to worry about it at all.
However, shortly after the bounty hunter took over, he was surprised to find that the two thousand five were making rapid progress. She could immediately remember many words and words just by teaching them once or twice. Although Weize had never taught other little ghosts before, he also knew that he had a strong learning ability. Unfortunately, the two of them were now on the run and followed the church's advance team to open up the wasteland.
If you are in a civilized world, you should be admitted to a teenager class of 2,000, and you can easily go to the top university. After graduation, you can enter the research institute or become an executive in the R&D department of a large company. Find an equally powerful man and form a happy family. It is like the one Levi is interested in... Daniel's tall, rich and handsome guy.
Now, all she could get was Wei Ze's simple praise, "Yes, it's different from me, it's a material for learning." And the subsequent head touch.
But 2,000 still seemed very happy, just like when she first got the bear and stickers.
"You guy, it's really easy to satisfy." Wei Ze said, "Okay, let's go here today and go to bed. We will have to change places tomorrow." As he said, the bounty hunter turned off the lights in the room.
No words all night.
After breakfast the next morning, the remaining members of the advance team followed Father Erikson off the boat and came to the beach to watch the Pegasus leave together.
Until the ship could no longer be seen, many people were still unwilling to retract their sight, but when the truck pulled away the last batch of supplies, everyone could only take the bus and leave the beach reluctantly.
Twenty minutes later, Weize and others could already see the basin where the settlement was located. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of the truck, a small road was filled out there. As the truck drove into the valley, what appeared in front of Weize was a lively construction scene.
Hundreds of insulation tents are surrounding each other regularly. A multi-function drilling machine is drilling a well not far away. Some people have begun to try to divide the ridges and can't wait to turn up the soil.
