Take it easy, I'm a serious game

Chapter 46 Lighting Systems
The work of cutting up the tiger carcass was not easy. Although many of the refugees who followed Chen Jiu had experience in handling prey, they were still a little powerless in the face of such a huge prey.

It took a group of people an hour to peel off the skin, and it took more than half an hour to barely divide the meat into small pieces that were easy to carry.

And when they moved the meat back to the camp, it was gradually getting dark.

The days before the Ice Tide were so short, and once night fell, the refugees could not actually do much.

The reason is very simple. The technological regression on the red land is too serious, and they are seriously lacking in lighting means.

So most of the time, once it is night, most people will only use the firelight in the house to do some work such as weaving Gebu and twisting hemp rope, and will not engage in substantive production.

This is undoubtedly a huge waste of manpower.

How can you be considered a qualified migrant worker if you only work six hours a day?

Chen Jiu has been trying to solve this problem, but he has no choice but the generator has not been built.
-
Today, however, things seem a little different.

Before he got close, he saw bright lights in the camp from a distance.

That light is absolutely impossible to emit from a campfire.

And the refugees carrying prey beside him were also puzzled.

"What a bright light... what is that?"

"I don't know, is there a fire?"

"Firelight is not like that, this white light... feels like the sun."

"Nonsense, the sun has already set, is it an oil lamp?"

"The oil lamp is not that bright..."

Listening to the discussion of the refugees, Chen Jiu smiled slightly and replied:

"This is the lamp, our lighting and power generation system, officially in use."

As he spoke, he walked quickly towards the camp, and as expected, Qin Chuan and Chong Niang were standing in the middle of the camp at this time, commanding a few refugees in the building. Wired between.

"The pole needs to be supported on both sides, be careful, and nail the triangular wood on it!"

"Don't touch the light bulb! Be careful I break it!"

"Who told you to wire it up, who told you to wire it up? Just pull it over! Electrocute you, you bastard!"

"Over there, don't stare at the light bulb! What's so good about that thing? You're blind!"

"Raise the line higher and fix it on the electric pole, then move the electric pole back a little bit and hide it behind the building, so as not to blow it down in a gust of wind..."

……

Seeing the busy two people, Chen Jiu was too embarrassed to interrupt, he directed his team members to move the meat to the grill to dry, and after a short rest, he was ready to start paying the rewards.

"The task this time is not difficult, but you all have worked hard, and the reward will be distributed according to the method of one catty of jerky per person."

"Come with me now, go get the jerky."

Chen Jiu stood up, but to his surprise, those refugees stayed where they were.

"what happened?"

"Leader Chen, we don't want jerky anymore."

The man named Lin Wen answered.

"What? Why? Do you have enough food?"

Chen Jiu asked in surprise.

This is the first time he heard the answer "no jerky" from a refugee.

"No, it's because the food is not enough, so I don't want it."

"We've thought about it. What the leader said is right. Only by uniting can we survive the ice tide."

"To be united we have to distribute food fairly."

"Xiahe Village also tried to distribute the food equally among all the people before, but they failed."

"But I think, if it's here, maybe we'll make it..."

Hearing Lin Wen's words, Chen Jiu was overjoyed.

The implementation of the rationing system was originally in his plan, and he was still worried about how to guide these refugees. Now they have proposed it without saying it themselves.

Huge progress!
Not only because the rationing system can be implemented smoothly, but more importantly, from the actions of the refugees, he can see that these people have truly recognized themselves as outsiders, and truly regard this camp established in the wilderness as a their homes.

This is the so-called sense of identity.

On the red ground, a sense of identity is the most basic requirement for a group to continue.

Chen Jiu stepped forward and patted Lin Wen on the shoulder, then said:
"Fine, but not today."

"We may need to distribute the food equally, but until then we still need to motivate everyone with visible gains."

"Don't worry, we'll find plenty of food."

"When your own food is exhausted, we will take out the stored food and distribute it equally."

Lin Wenzheng on the opposite side nodded, and then called everyone to divide and roast the meat.

Illuminated by the high hanging lights, their movements were swift and precise, which they had never experienced before.

The night was dispelled.

Will there be no dark nights on the red ground from this day on?
……

On the other side, Chongniang and Qin Chuan finally completed the erection of the last wire. After the power transmission switch of the generator was turned on, the light bulbs distributed all over the camp were brightly lit, not only in the research institute camp, but even in the small half of the mountain. be illuminated.

The two watched this scene with satisfaction, Qin Chuan said:
"This picture has an inner taste. Hey, if it continues like this, maybe we can play this game like a city skyline."

"It's true, anyway, 50% of my time when I played radiation was spent on building shelters. I played a lot of mods, such as swimming pools, gyms, yoga rooms..."

"??? Why do I feel that what you said is so wrong? Sex lab, right?"

"I know everything I know, don't say it - tell me if we can..."

"Don't talk about it, I'll plan to block your account in a while!"

Qin Chuan quickly interrupted, he glanced at Chen Jiu who was walking over, and shouted loudly:
"Brothers, come here, this angle is the best!"

Chen Jiu quickly walked a few steps and asked with a smile:

"No, it's pretty good, but I just want to ask, where do these wires, lights, etc. come from?"

"In the research institute—I tore down the living quarters."

"??? What is demolition?"

Chen Jiu was shocked.

"Don't be nervous... It's just dismantling the electrical appliances. The wires in the living area are buried under the decorative wall. I led a few refugees to smash it, and pulled out tens of meters of wire, which happened to be used in the lighting system."

"Now the electricity used for lighting is still the remaining electricity in the energy storage battery, but I have already turned on the wind power generation module, and it is estimated that the balance between production and consumption can basically be maintained."

"However, if the heating system is added later, the power will not be enough. We have to get out the boiler machine as soon as possible—or the wood gasifier can also..."

"You wait first."

Chen Jiu interrupted Qin Chuan's imagination mercilessly, and then asked word by word:

"You said you demolished the living quarters, so here comes the problem."

"After going offline today, where shall we sleep?"
