Chapter 984 The Psychology of Resilience
(Business trip extended to the 17th, vomiting blood)
After roughly visiting this so-called research base, the hunters had to sigh.
The third group is worthy of being a team of scholars. They have flexible minds and many methods.
With the thinking of a normal craftsman, or in other words, with the thinking of a normal human being.
After a crashed spaceship, if the pod remains generally intact, the airbag must be released and every possible means is made to flatten the cabin and secure it in order to obtain a complete and stable living area.
To put it bluntly, it’s just like those houseboats in Star Stronghold.
But maybe it’s because it’s more laborious, and scholars are better at using their brains than their hands, so they chose to find another way.
The airbags were not abandoned. Instead, the scholars moved all the remaining airbags and fixed them to the damaged stern.
Under the buoyancy of the air bag, the entire cabin was lifted upright, turning into a head-down and stern-up posture.
Then, they activated the dragon gun located at the bow of the ship.
The dragon-shooting gun was inserted into the ground like a wedge nail to fix the hull. Coupled with the upward pull of the air bag, the upside-down houseboat was completed without a single nail or hammer.
The dragon gun used to fix the hull is the only contact point between the research base and the ground. This may not seem very stable, but it has an obvious advantage.
—It can effectively prevent small creatures such as insects from crawling into the houseboat and causing damage to precious research materials and books.
Of course, the small contact surface also has a disadvantage, that is, it is not stable enough and will shake when a strong wind blows.
Fortunately, scholars also have solutions.
Through precise calculations, they extended multiple ropes from the most suitable positions and angles on the houseboat to firmly fix the houseboat to the surrounding coral reefs.
Although it looks like it is shaky and may fall at any time.
In fact, this inverted research base is quite solid and reliable. More than ten years later, it still stands firmly here.
The inside of the research base is also very interesting.
Because it is almost vertical, the space inside the site is less like a “house” and more like a “tower”.
Tower of knowledge.
Everywhere you look is filled with bookcases and books, as well as an astonishing amount of information and papers neatly stacked.
“So many?!” Anhil couldn’t help but exclaimed.
It’s really hard to imagine how much valuable knowledge is recorded in these materials.
Gordon stroked the homemade papers that were not very smooth and had a somewhat dry and brittle texture, which could only be said to be barely suitable for writing. He couldn't help but curiously asked the leader of the third phase:
“Where did you get all this paper and ink? This quantity”
“Nature has given us everything.” The leader of the third phase of the group smiled and said: “The ink comes from Feitian Wumao’s ink, but the ink is too thin and the color is too light.
Our people tried repeatedly to find suitable auxiliary materials, and finally selected the black oil secreted by Osteosaurus.
At the right proportion, the extremely viscous pitch black grease can effectively improve the consistency, color and writing consistency of Wu Mao ink, ultimately producing the ink we use every day.
By the way, this recipe was tried out bit by bit by Jian, the lazy guy who led you. "
“Really? I can’t see it at all.” Zhupa muttered in a low voice.
The leader of the third phase group smiled and continued: "The paper comes from the Valley of Miasma.
In the Valley of Miasma, you can see some meshes that look like animal fascia everywhere. In fact, they are a mixture of plants and bacterial lawns corroded by miasma.
They are dry and brittle, but they are considered good fiber. After we take them back and mash them, add the colloid extracted from corals, boil them, flatten them and dry them, and finally we can make paper. "
Gordon fell into silence, and Hayata opened her mouth. In the end, she could only express sincerely, "It's really amazing."
These materials before us are the results of over ten years of hard research by the scholars of the third phase of the group, who have overcome various difficulties.
Even a guy like Gale, who was described by Ancil as "hopelessly illiterate", could not help but have respect for these scholars who were in danger and still did not forget their original intention of "seeking knowledge".
“Really **** awesome!”
Gail gave a thumbs up. Her admiration was sincere, but the sand content was a bit high.
The leader of the third phase of the regiment smiled and didn’t care about Gale’s words. He raised his pipe and said to the hunters:
“It’s almost time for dinner. You have traveled all the way over the mountains and ridges to get here. You should be treated well. Unfortunately, we don’t have much good food here. It’s a big meal, but it’s quite monotonous. I hope you won’t dislike it.”
“It’s okay, we can eat anything!” Gale waved his hand.
Sha Yan, who had always been silent, looked at her with a slightly subtle expression.
Anhil is also curious in his heart.
Just now he specially observed the physical condition of everyone in the research base.
How should I put it? I am full of energy and rosy, and I don’t have the imagined feeling of lack of food or malnutrition caused by an unbalanced diet.
How did you do it? !
Although the terrestrial coral platform is rich in biological resources, looking at the appearance of these scholars, it does not look like they can obtain a large amount of food at once through hunting.
Collect? Probably not.
Gathering requires a lot of time and energy, and at least half of the people need to be assigned full-time to collect, so that it is possible to collect enough food for everyone to eat.
With the temperament of these scholars, even if they are hungry, they will not "waste" so much time on food.
"The main way you obtain food is through planting?" Anhil couldn't help but ask as he followed the leader of the third phase of the group on the road leading to the dining area.
This sounds a bit outrageous, but after elimination, this seems to be the only possibility.
The leader of the third phase team glanced at him and said, "It's very close, but it's not planting. In fact, it might be more appropriate to call it 'breeding'."
As she spoke, she said to the sloppy scholar named Ajian: "Go and bring the food."
“It’s true, you called me again.”
Ignoring Ajian's complaint, the leader of the third phase added: "Remember to bring more food. Hunters eat a lot, three to five times the amount of ordinary people."
"Yes Yes Yes."
After sitting down at the dining table, the hunters began to wait curiously. Not long after, Ajian returned holding a huge basket.
“Hey!”
He put the basket full of food on the table and distributed bowls to everyone. He said, "Eat whatever you want. There is still a lot. If there is not enough food, I will get it."
The leader of the third phase group took the wooden spoon, lifted up his robe sleeves gracefully, and distributed the food.
What was served on the bowls and plates in front of everyone were some granular objects. The small ones were thinner than sesame seeds, and the large ones were about the same size as peas. They were mostly milky white or orange in color, soft, and had a translucent glue. texture.
“What kind of egg is this?” Gordon asked curiously.
“Yeah.” Ajian also poured some for himself, picked up a spoonful with a wooden spoon, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely:
“It is nutritious and rich in all the nutrients that the human body needs daily. It is easy to obtain. With a little effort, you can get a lot of it that you can’t finish. The taste is not too bad.
We have almost only eaten this over the years. "
“So, what is this?” Anhil, whose mind was filled with “worm eggs”, asked cautiously.
The leader of the third phase of the group smiled lightly and said, "This is the staple food of most small and medium-sized organisms on the mainland coral platform, the eggs of coral polyps."
ˆPs.
Coral polyp eggs are the staple food of many organisms on the terrestrial coral platform. This is an official establishment.
As for whether people eat or not, apart from this stuff, I really can’t think of anything that the people at the research base could eat in the past twenty years.
