After Si Lan heard this, she immediately asked, "Is he okay?"

Several people shook their heads: "Nothing serious happened. Commander Xu is here and rescued us all."

"Two people were slightly injured, and two girls were soaked in water late at night and became sick the next day. They recovered after two days."

Si Lan nodded: "I'm glad you're okay."

"But we're at a loss! Twenty or thirty jars of salt were washed away and broken by the sea. The rest can be salvaged, but they're damp and need to be re-dried. It's unlucky!"

Si Lan: "Sea salt depends on the weather to begin with. Let's just pretend it wasn't dried in the first place. It's better than having people washed away."

Several people sighed. They understood the reason, but they were still unhappy.

At this moment, Si Lan thought about what they had said and whispered, "So this game has natural disasters, and they're not just for the later stages."

One of them heard this and asked her in a state of collapse: "What should we do then?"

Si Lan collected her thoughts and looked at him: "It's not a big deal. The earlier we know, the earlier we can take precautions."

"The seaside base is completely destroyed? Why don't they come back first? Do they want to stay there?"

The man said, "This is our only place that can produce salt. Commander Xu doesn't want to give it up, and neither do we. So we're thinking of returning and bringing some people over to rebuild the base."

"And because of this tsunami, while it roared, it wasn't very destructive; it was a small tsunami. We plan to move our base to higher ground and retreat the salt fields. As long as we can ensure everyone is safe, the destruction of the salt fields won't be a big deal."

Si Lan recalled the terrain she saw at that time: there was indeed high ground by the sea, and it would be no problem to settle there if we cleaned it up.

If the salt fields were moved to the higher ground, it would not be as convenient as before, and there would be an additional difficulty in bringing the sea water into the beach.

As for the latter, if you really count it, it only requires digging a hundred meters of long beach channel and making a few more water wheels for drainage.

Now that they've found a mine, they can even replace the water trucks with smarter equipment. As long as everyone isn't in a hurry, these things can be improved.

Si Lan pondered quietly for a while, then looked back at the people in the camp.

Finally, she said, "I'll go with you to take a look and bring back some mineral resources."

When several people heard this, they said, "There's a mine?!"

Si Lan: "Yes. Speaking of this, it seems that it is not convenient for us to communicate with each other. Let's think of another way to communicate with each other. Come on, pack up and set off."

When Fan Wenqing heard this, she said, "Ah? Sister Lan, are you going on a long trip again?"

The team following her was also surprised: "Where are we going? Is it very far or long? What about the project?"

Si Lan said, "It only takes a few days to go back and forth. It won't take long."

"The main thing is that there are resources we'll need later on at the beach, so let's just go there and collect things."

"By the way, where's Pei Wen? Has he been out for a few days and still not back?"

Fan Wenqing thought to herself, he lives next door to you, why are you asking us if he's back yet...

He counted again on his fingers: "It's been four or five days, right? Oh, that's a long time. I wonder if something happened to the professor along the way?"

"It's just a matter of taking people to dig a mine, and he doesn't even need to dig. What could happen?"

Si Lan looked at the sky, then at the few people who had just returned from the beach, and waved her hand: "Then wait for him until the day after tomorrow. If he doesn't come back, I'll go by myself."

"You guys should rest up in the camp too. Just move the salt to the cellar and store it. We have more dried meat and pickles in the camp now. We'll also prepare some fresh meat in the next couple of days and bring it back to the beach to improve everyone's diet. Otherwise, will you be eating fish every day?"

Several people immediately looked distressed: "Yes. We really do eat fish every day."

"Sometimes I think about going out hunting, but there aren't many mountains or forests over there. I often go for half a day and come back for half a day without catching anything. Gradually, I've become too lazy to try my luck."

Fan Wenqing immediately pointed to the meat drying rack at the campsite and said, "You're back just in time! We just dried a new batch of meat these past two days. I'll give it all to you!"

"By the way, if you stay here for a long time, we will send the hunting team out early tomorrow morning to hunt and bring back a few more wild boars for you."

Several people: "Isn't it dangerous to hunt wild boars?"

Fan Wenqing typed a question mark on the public screen: "Just kidding, the hunting team in our camp is becoming more and more experienced. With the weapons made by Sister Si Lan, as long as there are enough wild boars, three a day is no problem at all."

The few of them felt relieved, and in order to improve the food of the seaside team, they also agreed to wait for two more days.

Pei Wen and Qian Ming's mining team actually returned to the camp early in the morning on the third day.

Pei Wen had to do a lot of experiments and couldn't wait for the ore transporter to be completed, so he led the team to the mine to look for resources in a targeted manner.

Since he was there, he also helped Si Lan's team find things. When he came back, he rode a tamed horse, while Qian Ming and several of his team members rode two horses each, pulling a wooden cart behind them, carrying ore and resources, and returned to the camp together.

Knowing that Si Lan was waiting for him, Pei Wen asked: "Is there something wrong? Or do you miss me?"

Si Lan glanced at him in confusion. "Your personality is affected by the game? Why are you so flirty?"

Pei Wen: “…”

I had no choice but to give up the temptation and ask again seriously: "What's the matter?"

"Do you want to go to the saltworks? The base there was destroyed by the tsunami and they need to rebuild. I want to go over and take a look."

Pei Wen: "Go ahead. How can I not go since you asked me to?"

"...I'm asking, not forcing, please don't misunderstand."

"I didn't say you were forced, and I didn't expect you to understand, but that's not what I meant anyway."

Si Lan frowned again: Really, I find it increasingly difficult to understand what this man is saying.

She didn't bother to think about it and immediately waved her hand: "Then take your original team and set off. Are you willing to go on another trip? You can change people if you get tired."

The team that had previously followed Pei Wen to the mines said: "Of course we are. Why not? Following the professor can broaden our horizons, which is great."

Si Lan smiled and patted Pei Wen on the shoulder: "Not bad, he has some charisma."

Pei Wen: "...I really doubt what image I had in your eyes before."

"Pei Jiaojiao."

"I'm redundant. I shouldn't have asked."

Si Lan didn't say anything else. She took two other people from the computer team with her and asked the rest to organize the resources brought back by Pei Wen. She counted the supplies brought to the salt field and left with a group of people.

They now have horses and carts, and Si Lan also asked someone to take away two newly made bicycles in the camp so that they could go on the road to check the quality.

This time, the journey was much shorter; it took only two days for the group to reach the seaside. After meeting up with Xu Changfeng and the others, Si Lan stood on the high ground and pointed to the most conspicuous spot. "Build a lighthouse here to communicate with the infrastructure team. If there's anything, they can relay it to the base camp. This way, everyone won't have to run back and forth for every little thing."

Xu Changfeng was surprised when he heard this: "We can make electric lights???"

Si Lan shrugged and said confidently, "I haven't tried it yet, but I believe Professor Pei can do it."
