The Infrastructure Group would certainly not refuse the Pei couple's request.

With their scientific research experience, they would be a strong aid even after retirement. He only needed to enter their information into the list of the infrastructure group's scientific research team without any unnecessary worries.

After the few of them had a discussion, Wang Teng considered that with the Pei couple present, it might be easier for Pei Wen to communicate with them, so he conveyed the matter to them through the communication station.

At that time, Pei Wen, Si Lan and Fang Xun finally had time to discuss the new factory. Because of this relapse, Pei Wen was included in the prohibited list, but they were still considering whether to take him to the new factory base.

Upon receiving the news from the Infrastructure Team, several people went to check it out. Upon learning about the actions of the Si and Pei families, Pei Wen said to his parents, "Take care of yourselves."

Unexpectedly, the other party immediately replied: [You are the one who needs to take care of your health! ]

Pei Wen: “…”

The Pei couple then said to Si Lan, "Please Lanlan, take good care of our little Pei. We will definitely work hard to find a way to get everyone out of here and have you return as soon as possible."

Si Lan: [I will, uncle and aunt, don't worry.]

The Pei couple were really relieved and didn't say much, letting them get on with their work.

Pei Wen's old illness relapsed and he was not suitable for doing more physical labor. Si Lan originally wanted to go to the new factory to meet up with everyone on his behalf, but Pei Wen was unwilling to do so.

"Although I can't do heavy work anymore, I can still use my brain."

Si Lan snorted, not wanting to pay attention to him: "Using your brain and hands is tiring. If you fall down again, even gods will be unable to save you."

But someone doesn't want to be separated from her, especially after this accident.

He insisted on going with them and was even willing to ride a horse behind Si Lan. Si Lan was frustrated by him and after thinking for a while, she asked Fang Xun for his opinion.

Fang Xun was in a difficult position. He didn't dare let Pei Wen take risks, but he knew how Pei Wen felt.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Si Lan and said, "How about...how about you just go on horseback?"

"As long as he doesn't get tired on the way, he won't be tired at all when he gets to the base. The main thing is that Professor Pei is left here alone. The residents here aren't as attentive and understanding of him as you, Si Lan. What if something unexpected happens and they don't find out in time? So, Si Lan, you can... take care of him on the way?"

Si Lan sighed deeply, feeling helpless.

However, Fang Xun's words reminded her that if she was not there, it would be more dangerous if Pei Wen encountered any problem again and rescue was not timely.

She had no choice but to agree and warned Pei Wen solemnly: "We have a deal. From now on, if I say one thing, you are not allowed to say two. If I tell you to go east, you cannot go west. If you don't listen to me and act recklessly again, and if anything happens to you..." As she spoke, she clenched her hands, and the joints made a crackling sound, which scared people.

Pei Wen didn't dare to say anything and nodded obediently.

Finally, he said, "Haven't we always said that if you say one thing, I will never say another."

Si Lan gave him a warning look again.

After making their decision, they prepared to set off that day.

While waiting for Pei Wen to recover, Fang Xun had already obtained detailed design drawings of the production machine from the infrastructure group.

In order to increase the speed, Si Lan brought Fan Wenqing and her two younger sisters, as well as a group of people with strong hands-on skills.

Before leaving, Tao Zhenzhen came over specially and gave Si Lan some dry food, some seasonal food seeds, and finally some handmade cookies that she had learned to make from the aunt at the camp. She repeatedly reminded her, "Sister Si Lan, you must pay attention to safety when you go out. You must combine work and rest, rest and eat more, and don't get tired."

After saying that, he probably felt that it was not good to only care about Si Lan, so he looked at Pei Wen beside him and said, "Brother Pei, you should also pay attention to safety."

Pei Wen, who had a long list of words with Si Lan but only one sentence in front of him, was like: "..."

But at this time, Si Lan thought of Tao Zhenzhen's recent performance and looked at the many young players in the camp.

Finally, she decided, "If you all have nothing important to do, just follow along."

"The new camp over there is just being built, so there are a lot of chores to do. If you're willing, you can come with us to farm, cut trees, and move things. You can also help us bring in some more mineral resources."

When Tao Zhenzhen heard this, she thought she had misheard: "What did my sister say? ... Can I go out with you?!"

Si Lan gestured to the other little players: "Go ask them all. Remember, only good ones should obey orders, and forget about the ones who are too naughty and difficult to control."

However, what she said had actually been heard by the little players nearby. When they heard that they could go on a long journey with Sister Si Lan, they all stopped and looked shocked.

"Can we go together?"

"Can we go to a very far place, to another camp?!"

Si Lan: "Let me make a deal first, you must obey orders obediently, otherwise if you make a mistake I will take you back right away."

Children: "We are very good! We will work hard! Sister can ask the uncles and aunts who are taking care of us. We are really obedient!"

Si Lan didn't intend to ask. She could tell which ones were easy to discipline and which ones were difficult just by looking at their expressions.

She quickly called several people out and waved her hand casually, "Alright, pack up and go. I need you to clear out as much storage space as possible to store the resources we're taking to the new factory. Please organize them well."

The children who were chosen were overjoyed. They immediately put down everything they could, took enough food resources, and ran to Si Lan to let her feed them.

The children who were not chosen asked disappointedly why, but Si Lan simply said, "Behave well and it will be your turn next time." The children did not dare to offend her and could only step aside sullenly to watch the children who were chosen happily prepare for their new journey.

Si Lan asked Wang Hongsheng to bring a few more large baskets of ore, and together with Fang Xun and others, put the ore into the children's space, and then asked these children to be responsible for pedaling a small cart. No matter how they cooperated, as long as the cart and the resources on the cart were transported without missing a single one, it would be fine.

Fang Xun was left with the task of managing the entire team. Si Lan and Wang Hongsheng finally decided on a new route for resource exchange. After confirming there were no problems, she led the horse over and signaled Pei Wen, "Get on."

Pei Wenren was a tall and strong man. He looked at the horse's back and sighed helplessly.

Get on the horse obediently.

Si Lan said goodbye to everyone in the camp, then turned her head and said to Pei Wen, "Sit tight."

Pei Wen's eyes rolled, and he suddenly leaned closer, speaking in a voice full of magnetism: "Then I have to hold you again?"

Si Lan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Are you being slow?"

Pei Wen: "Then I still need to confirm it, in case you don't like it and make you angry——"

Before she finished speaking, Si Lan raised the whip and rode out with a spur!

Pei Wen was caught off guard and put his arms around her slender waist, almost having another heart attack.

Si Lan and Pei Wen rushed straight ahead. When they passed by Fang Xun, they said "let's go first" and disappeared!

She didn't need to bring any extra resources; she simply focused on Pei Wen's well-being and the journey, which resulted in her running faster than anyone else. By the time Fang Xun and his team, lugging resources and painstakingly arriving at the new factory, Si Lan and Pei Wen had already been there two or three days. They had already built their temporary housing, finished fabricating the communications station, and finalized the new camp's location and plan with the infrastructure team.

On the day Fang Xun arrived, Si Lan and Pei Wen had already planned the subsequent production process and division of labor, so that when Fang Xun and others arrived, they didn't have to worry about anything and could officially get started.

Fang Xun gave everyone the design drawings. The delicate parts that required considerable forging skills were done by Si Lan and others who were already skilled, such as Fan Wenqing.

Pei Wen was responsible for the overall control and debugging, while Fang Xun was responsible for leading the rest of the people to mass-produce large machine frames. Finally, all the parts were put together, and Si Lan, the general manager of the new factory, Li Duanqing, and her team were responsible for the splicing.

The first machine they manufactured was a semi-automatic rubber production machine.

Automated machines require a lot of oil and electricity, and the new factory has to operate day and night. It is no longer possible to protect all the circuits with simple protective methods as before, so they first made large machines that can produce rubber and make wire insulators.

The entire assembly line machine took a week to build and assemble. At this time, Tao Zhenzhen and other children also followed the resource team to bring back enough oak wood. As soon as the machine was formed, everyone immediately gathered the relevant materials together, tested the machine and adjusted it overnight.

When the first batch of insulating rubber came out of the machine, everyone was so excited that they were almost speechless.

Later, everyone was even more ecstatic when they saw the conductive wires being wrapped in rubber of uniform thickness and being transmitted out in circles.

After the first batch of wires with good insulation were completed, everyone carefully tested the wires.

After confirming that the machine could produce a seamless effect and there were no safety hazards, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and officially announced: they had complete and durable wires!

At this time, Pei Wen arranged the next step for everyone while looking at the bundles of wires. He turned to Si Lan and said, "I think if we can make wires, we can further plan the cables."

"With cables, the great cause of communications can be put on the road."

——"After the basic assembly line machinery is completed, how about we start working on the telephone?"

Si Lan opened the map, looked at the many camps marked on it, and nodded slowly: "Okay."

"With communication technology, the factory can also expand. This game has so many people and so many camps. Even if a few camps work together to develop a little new equipment in a day, this so-called 'empire' will be just around the corner."

The conversation between the two was overheard by people passing by.

As soon as they heard about the start of communication, everyone rushed over to ask if cross-regional communication and networking were just around the corner?!

Si Lan nodded and looked up at the sky: "Being able to connect to the internet means that the notebook developed by our team can be officially put into use."

"By then, it will be clear which is more powerful, this chip's artificial intelligence or our Country T's technology."
