survival in the wilderness

Chapter 101
Lin Yan and Hua Hong went home to get the tools, and went directly to the field to open up wasteland.

The circled wasteland has not yet bloomed, so Hua Hong took the first-class tools to the field when he found time,

Looking at the sparrows flying around in the ground, the number is increasing, so I have to find a way.

This sparrow is big, and it can eat a lot at a time. If a group of sparrows eat wheat in the future, it will definitely be a huge loss.

After looking sadly for a long time, Lin Yan looked down at the wheat seedlings less than ten centimeters tall, and weeded with her small hoe.

The weeds are really soaring. If we don't weed for a few days, the wheat seedlings will be flooded.

Thinking back to the time when he found the wheat seedlings, they were so weak that they were covered by weeds but still firm, Lin Yan sighed deeply.

Judging from the current situation, the competitiveness of wheat seedlings is not good, and it is completely incomparable with weeds.If it is not taken care of well, the output will be worrying.

When she first found the wheat seedlings, she imagined that they could be planted on a large scale in a year or two and realize food freedom.But now, Lin Yan didn't dare to think that way anymore.

If we want to achieve food freedom, we not only need to work hard, but also guard against the hustle and bustle of birds, insects and ants. There is a long way to go.

Working every day, time seems to pass very fast.Lin Yan, who was still chubby after the Chinese New Year, bathed in the sun every day and got tanned.

Except for the skin covered by the clothes, there is a sharp contrast with the exposed parts.

Hong Ling was taken aback when he saw Lin Yan, "Why are you so dark?"

These days, she has been busy making looms, trying to use linen to make clothes and shoes more efficiently, reduce the cost, and make it affordable for most people.I haven't seen Lin Yan for a long time.

Hearing that Lin Yan went shopping in the workshop a few days ago, I thought of coming to see her.

"Is it possible to keep it from getting dark in the sun every day?" Lin Yan looked at his swarthy paws, feeling very sad. Come back not."

"It should be fine. You were born white, and you will come back after you take good care of it." Hong Ling comforted, seeing Lin Yan like this, no one would be envious anymore.

And the prettiest little doll in town has become like every other doll.

"I hope so, why are you looking for me?"

Only then did Hong Ling think about it, and hurriedly said: "As you can see, clothes and shoes are very expensive, and few people can afford them. I want to reduce the cost, but I can't find a clue, so I came here Looking for your help."

"It's quite expensive." Lin Yan felt the same way. He only spent a large sum of money a few days ago. "Have you ever figured out that clothes are so expensive, where is the main cost? Is it labor or raw materials?"

"I have calculated the whole process. The raw materials are cheap. The main reason is that the investment in looms and spinning machines is too large, which is not proportional to the output. In addition to labor costs, it can barely be maintained. But the current efficiency is difficult to improve. If you want to expand production, you need to invest again, and the cost will not be reduced if this cycle continues.”

"It's still too inefficient." Lin Yan sighed, "It's difficult for everyone to wear good clothes."

"Yeah, most people are still reluctant to buy clothes now. They wear tattered sackcloth made by themselves. The contrast is too obvious. I worry that as time goes on, the gap between everyone is getting bigger and bigger, so I want to reduce the cost and let more Everyone can afford it."

"Hong Ling, you see it very clearly. The gap between the rich and the poor will indeed become more and more obvious, but this is an inevitable trend of development, and it is just the beginning. We can't keep everyone at the same level. If you don’t work hard, you always want to take shortcuts and get left behind. However, your worries are not unreasonable. What we can do is to let those who want to live a good life and work hard on their own get the rewards they deserve, and let Sun City Be just and fair."

"This is the meaning of the establishment of the Arbitration Tribunal." Hong Ling pondered, "The Sun City Basic Law recently introduced is also for this purpose."

"That's right. I want to govern Sun City through laws. But there will always be loopholes. That's the direction for improvement in the future. It's up to you to figure out whether everyone can afford clothes. I don't have time to think about it right now." , to keep an eye on the wheat in the field, that's the most important thing."

It’s not that Hong Ling didn’t think about it, “I think it’s still necessary to improve the spinning and weaving machines to increase efficiency. Only one person can produce more thread and cloth in the same time, and the cost can be reduced.”

"Your direction is right. I'll give you some blueprints in a few days, and you and Shi Zhi and the others can study it together, maybe you can change it."

Lin Yan suddenly remembered that there were better spinning and weaving machines in the Science and Technology Museum, and Bai Chen had also made yellow paper, so she just had to copy the things and hand them over to them.

Hong Ling hurriedly asked, "Is it the drawings of the spinning and weaving machines?"

"Yes, I have a lot of good things here, and I will see them slowly in the future."

"Okay, give me those pictures, and we will study by ourselves."

After Hong Ling finished speaking, he realized that paper is also very expensive, and the output is very small. "Paper is very expensive, and it hasn't been produced in large quantities. Do you have paper?"

"There are some. The first batch Bai Chen made gave me some, but I didn't use them."

After Hong Ling left, Lin Yan spent the next few days working in the fields during the day and working as a diligent porter at night under the light of the fire.

She picked out some useful things from the science and technology museum and copied them out. The paper was limited, so she wanted to save it, and copied all the dry goods.

What makes Lin Yan powerless is that what she draws on the paper with a pen in her hand can never be exactly the same as the original one.

Although barely similar, it was already the best she could do.Lin Yan thought, I hope Hong Ling and Shi Zhi can understand.

Learn useful things from it, improve them, and make more efficient spinning and looms on the basis of existing ones.

After staying up for five days, Lin Yan went to the laboratory to find someone.

In the end, no one was there. She searched every room, but found no one.

"Could it be that today's bad luck, everyone went out to work?"

"What are you talking about, standing here alone."

Hua Min came to look for things after class, and saw Lin Yan muttering to the gate with his back turned.

"You're back." Lin Yan turned to see Hua Min smiling, "Where did everyone go?"

"You don't know." Hua Min looked at her suspiciously, "You haven't heard of such a big thing, are you stupid?"

"What's the big deal?"

Lin Yan really didn't know what Hua Min was referring to. He was really dizzy with his busy work these past few days.

Hua Min didn't have time to go into details, so she immediately said, "It's running out of time, wait for me, I'll go in and get something, let's go there together, talk while walking."

Seeing Hua Min rushing in, Lin Yan's open mouth was silently closed.
