[Chapter 43 Public Facilities Draft]

Heavy machine guns, mortars, and the like are not so easy to get. Even if Laura can get weapons, it is difficult to replenish ammunition. Although she would buy weapons on a regular basis, they are mainly pistols, mainly for self-defense, unlike David who reserves weapons for possible wars.

“If Steve hadn’t slept for seventy years, he might be able to help you get those things; or think of a way to let Peggy go back, her world is still going on a world war.”

Laura slapped David’s dishonest hand, got up and put on her clothes, and complained about David’s idea: “And building bunkers and the like, there is no need for this, right? Even if someone wants to attack Winter Village, with the strength of Steve, Peggy and Fording, they can easily solve it.” “

I’m doing this to ensure that nothing unexpected happens.” Steve may not be in the village, but Peggy and Fording, one rarely goes back to Azeroth, and the other can’t go back to their own world, so they mainly stay in Winter Village. With the strength of these two, ordinary threats will not harm the village at all.

In addition to these two, the old hunter Addis is not a decoration, not to mention Sharon Rogers, the second generation Captain America… although she has not officially taken over the title of Captain America.

When he got up and dressed, he only heard Laura say, “I’m going back!” and ran away. David knew that Laura went home to take a shower, and he could only wash in a relatively primitive way in Winter Village.

“Maybe the most important thing to build in the village is not a well, but a tap water system.” Install a pump and water purification equipment on the bank of the Winter River, connect it to Winter Village with a pipe, and build a water tower or something. It can be regarded as a relatively basic tap water system, right?

“Can you discuss it with Mark?”

“What to discuss with me?”

David muttered as he opened the door and prepared to go out. Unexpectedly, he ran into Mark. Judging from his movements, it seemed that he was about to knock on the door.

“You came out just in time. These are the materials that we have decided after thinking about them. We need Laura to help prepare them.” Mark handed a piece of paper with words written on it to David: “I was worried that I would disturb you.”

“Laura went home.” He took the paper with various materials written on it, looked at it for a while, and then put it in his pocket: “I will pass it to her when she comes back.”

“Is that so…” Mark didn’t ask Laura why she ran home so early in the morning? He did similar things every day. After getting up early, he went directly to the Mars base: “What did you say you wanted to discuss with me just now?”

“About the water problem.”

“Aren’t you going to dig a well? I have observed various places in the village, and there are several places where wells can be dug.” David had told him about this matter before. In addition to taking care of the farmland, Mark has been studying this matter these days.

“I think it would be better to get a tap water system.”

“…”

Mark blinked, thinking that the village chief’s ideas changed too quickly, and he couldn’t keep up with the other party’s rhythm. How did he suddenly change from digging a well to building a tap water system? Do you think you are playing a simulated city game? And isn’t the span of your civilization too big?

David ignored Mark’s questioning eyes and directly said his idea: “Do you think it’s feasible?”

“This plan is still quite feasible.” Mark realized that he had thought wrong. The tap water system David wanted to build was not the kind of tap water plant he thought, which was to first build a tap water plant and then connect the pipes to every household. It was simply to filter the river water and transport it to the water storage equipment in the village, and the villagers would go to the water storage equipment to get water on their own.

If it was just like this, it would not be difficult. The real trouble was still the laying of the pipes. Laying a pipe from the river to the village was not an easy task. If you want to complete this task quickly, it would be best to have mechanical assistance.

But thinking about people like Fording and Steve, it seemed that these heavy tasks were not difficult for David’s village to solve.

“Then I’ll think about what equipment I need to buy, make a list and give it to Laura.”

“Well, I’ll leave it to you.” David patted Mark on the shoulder. The man in front of him was the only “scientist” in the village. David would ask Mark about such things.

“I’ll say it again, I’m a botanist.”

“I know, Mark!”

“Forget it, I’ll go see how the wheat is growing.” Mark knew that if there were similar questions, David would come to ask him again, so he stopped worrying about it and went about his own business: “Squirtle, let’s go!”

Calling Squirtle who was standing aside, Mark went to check a few fields, watered them and weeded them according to the situation, and dug some soil nearby for some observation.

He found that the land around Winter Village had some subtle changes in the past few days. He was very interested in this magical phenomenon and wanted to find out what was going on.

David didn’t know what Mark was mainly busy with recently. He only knew that Mark was farming, farming in Winter Village and on Mars, and by the way, he was also his own technical consultant, solving various technical problems.

“I obviously liked playing farming and construction games in my previous life.” As a result, when he really let himself build a territory, he found that it was too difficult.

The real construction of the territory is not like playing games, where you can just click a building with the mouse; if you want a well, you can just click it and it will be dug, and there is no location restriction. The same is

true for the tap water system. You can build the water plant with one click, and then click a few more times according to the prompts, and the tap water network covering thousands of people will be laid out. In reality, it is difficult for him to even have a tap water pipe for his house, let alone provide tap water to every household in the village.

“At present, the most reliable construction plan is the centralized management plan.” In addition to public toilets and tap water, David also thought of canteens and bathhouses, and then the road surface.

Of course, there is no rush for the latter few items. After the farmers have completed the reclamation of the farmland, they will be built one by one.

As for how to get the farmers to contribute their labor, this is not a difficult task.

Although the five contract farmers only need to be responsible for the farm work of the employer according to the contract, as long as the employer does not object, they can take on other jobs. David can completely “hire” these people to do other work and complete the construction of various facilities in the village.

The other three self-employed farmers could also be hired, even if they would soon become contract farmers for Samantha and her son, but Samantha would not refuse the employment from the village chief, and it would not be good for her to go against the village chief.

He took out the notebook that he had always carried with him and started writing and drawing again. Even when he noticed someone standing next to him, he did not stop.

After writing down everything he thought of in the notebook, he also drew a few bird’s-eye views to think about where the various facilities should be built. After making sure that nothing was missed, he turned his head and looked at the side.

“Good morning, Steve.”

“Good morning, David.” Steve was still wearing old-fashioned clothes. He greeted David and sat down. “Were you planning the village?”

“Yes.” There was nothing shameful about it. David handed the notebook to Steve. “Do you want to see it?”

“No.” In fact, with Steve’s eyesight and memory, he had memorized all the contents of the notebook just now. When he saved Bucky, he only looked at it for a few seconds and wrote down all the coordinates of the Hydra factory on the map. “I saw you wrote tap water in your notebook?”

He was curious about this. Although he had only been in Winter Village for a few days, and half of the time he had been in his own universe, he felt that he had enough understanding of Winter Village: Isn’t this a relatively backward ancient village? The people here also live a relatively primitive farming, fishing and hunting life.

In this environment, the word tap water seems very out of place.

After repeating his idea again, Steve understood David’s idea: “Is that so? It sounds good. Maybe I can help.”

He knew that this job would benefit everyone in the village. In addition, he had endless energy waiting to be released. So even before David opened his mouth, Steve took the initiative to offer to help.

“If there is anything I can do for you, I won’t be polite to you.” David closed and put away his notebook: “You have been in the village for a few days. What do you think of my place?”

Because two of the three captains could not leave at will, and because they knew each other, David was not in a hurry to talk to them too much. He planned to talk to them after they settled down in the village and got used to the life here.

So even if Steve didn’t take the initiative to talk to him today, David was ready to find an opportunity to talk to him. Now that the other party took the initiative to find him, it was convenient for David.

“It’s a very peaceful and tranquil village, and the people here are very friendly.” Steve, who was originally very serious, showed a rare smile on his face: “To be honest, I thought that God felt that I should not stay in that world, so he brought me to this place so that I could enjoy my old age.”

“Enjoy your old age… Isn’t it a bit early to consider retirement now?” David looked at Steve’s young face and felt that Steve’s words were too strange, even though he knew why he said that.

“Very early? I’m already over 90 years old.” Steve shook his head. He was also speechless about this situation. After all, no one could accept that he turned into an old man as soon as he opened his eyes.

“Didn’t you fall asleep in the ice for 70 years? So strictly speaking, you are only in your twenties, and your youth is still waiting for you!” David comforted him with a few words: “Besides, for some special beings, over 90 years old is not considered old.”

“Isn’t I a special existence?”

“You became a super soldier through an experiment with a low success rate, and you got the title of Captain America. You were frozen for 70 years after the plane crash and still woke up… Believe me, you are very special.”
