Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Planning Base
Su Qing woke up early in the morning and found that he had a stuffy nose and a dizzy head. He guessed that he had caught a cold last night.
Feeling a little better after breakfast, Su Qing came to the base.
There are a lot more people in the base now. Early in the morning, some uncles and aunts are practicing Tai Chi and doing exercises in the open space, and some young people are jogging around the base.
Everything is so beautiful, as if it is still the scene before the end of the world.
"Xiao Su, you're here."
"Good morning, Miss Su."
When people saw Su Qing coming in, they greeted him.
Su Qing responded with a smile one by one, then she walked to Fang Qing's house and knocked on the door.
The door opened a crack, and Li Xing poked his head out. Seeing that it was Su Qing, he opened the door wide, "Sister Su Qing, you're here."
"You got up early." Su Qing walked in.
The children were playing happily in the yard, and when they saw Su Qing coming in, they surrounded him.
"Sister Su, Sister Su."
Looking at these children, their skin is now fair, tender and rosy, and they are all chubby. They have changed a lot. They are so cute. Su Qing touches the head of one and pinches the little chubby cheeks of another, and loves them very much.
Fang Qing came out of the kitchen carrying a tray. Seeing Su Qing in the yard, she walked over and asked, "Xiao Qing, have you had breakfast?"
Su Qing nodded, "I've eaten."
Fang Qing heard something wrong in Su Qing's voice and asked, "Why is your voice different? What's wrong?"
"I've caught a bit of a cold."
"The weather has been getting cold lately, and a lot of people at the base have caught colds. You need to be more careful. The clothes you're wearing are a little too thin."
"A lot of people have colds? Is it serious?"
"It's not that bad. It will pass if you hold on. There's a shortage of medical care and medicine these days, so it's best to avoid getting sick as much as possible."
What Fang Qing said reminded Su Qing that the facilities in the base were not perfect in all aspects. There were not many people now, so nothing could be seen. But when more people came, there would be many inconveniences. She should think about it and arrange the basic supporting facilities first.
"A lot of people have been coming to the base lately, and I'm afraid there aren't enough tasks to go around. The weather's getting colder, and most of the clothes in the base stores are too thin to keep you warm. I have some clothing-making machines and fabrics here, so maybe I can hire some people to make some warm clothes."
Fang Qing agreed. "That's great. Someone actually came to me before and said they couldn't find work or income at the base, so they had to risk their lives collecting supplies. Building a garment factory not only provides employment, but also solves the clothing shortage."
"By the way, people have been asking me lately what our base is called. I just realized that... it seems that no one knows the name of the base."
Uh... embarrassing, Su Qing has never thought about naming it.
"Could it be... not yet?" Fang Qing looked at Su Qing's expression and felt a little helpless for a moment.
Su Qing looked embarrassed. "It's okay. Let's pick one now." Su Qing touched his chin with one hand, thought for a few seconds, and snapped his fingers. "Let's call it Shuguang."
"Dawn brings a ray of light to those struggling in darkness. That's right."
"Where are Qin Yu and the others?" After chatting for a long time, Su Qing didn't see Qin Yu and the others, so he asked.
Before, Su Qing handed Qin Yu and others over to Fang Qing and asked her to take them to familiarize themselves with the base. Fang Qing now rented a three-story courtyard house with plenty of space, so she simply let them live in her own home. Being a soldier gives you a very safe feeling, and the children in the family are also crazy about military uniforms. Qin Yu and others can also take the children to exercise on weekdays.
"They went to S City and will be back in a few days."
After hearing this, Su Qing thought that those people were probably going to see Professor Gu.
Fang Qing took the children to eat. Su Qing had nothing to do, so she went into the house and found a place to sit down. Since she had an idea, she did it right away. She went out and collected quite a lot of supplies.
He opened the construction interface, found the garment factory, clicked on construction, and the base topographic map popped up. Su Qing looked at it and planned out an area to be used as a future industrial zone.
"Congratulations to the host for building a new building, and you will be rewarded with 500 gold coins." The system prompted.
After building the clothing factory, she opened the refresh mall and found the clothing making machine she had searched for before. After a refresh, she had a complete set of automated clothing production equipment. She only needed to put in the fabric and set the style to start automated production.
Among these equipment there are also cotton machines and cloth machines. Su Qing is thinking of opening up another piece of land in the base to grow raw materials for cloth production.
She once went to the botanical garden in City B to collect many plants. She dug up a lot of plants there and put all the plant seeds collected in the garden into her backpack so that she could grow some raw materials for clothing such as cotton and linen.
The entire process is very simple, and most of it is machine-automated, so recruiters can operate it even if they have no experience in garment making.
Su Qing then opened up a large piece of land, one for growing cloth raw materials, and the other for renting to people to grow crops. In order to improve the farmland, she also established a breeding farm within the base.
After everything was built, Su Qing issued a new task.
1. The garment factory is recruiting 20 people, no garment making experience required, monthly salary 300.
2. Recruit 20 people to plant cotton, hemp and mulberry trees, with a daily salary of 10 new coupons per person.
3. Recruit 20 people to raise silkworms, shear wool and rabbit hair, and collect duck and goose down. Each person will receive 15 new coupons per day.
…
Zhou Qingyuan accidentally came to this small base for several days. He was attracted by the various benefits of this base and became an official member.
But now there is one thing that makes him very anxious. Due to the increasing number of personnel in the base, it is now particularly difficult to get tasks from the mission center. He does not have much savings, and he runs to the mission center every day to grab tasks, but he never gets any. If this continues, he will have to go out to collect supplies.
Today he ran to the mission center early again, wondering if he could grab a planting mission. Since there were few missions now and not many people came here, Zhou Qingyuan came to the machine and refreshed the page to see, but there was still no work.
He was a little depressed and turned to walk out with his head down.
"Hey! The base has updated its mission!"
Zhou Qingyuan, who was about to step out of the door, heard an excited voice behind him. He quickly turned around and returned to the machine.
Refreshing the page, several task information popped up at once. He took a quick look and quickly took the next one.
Great! He finally had a job that could earn him a salary! The base's mission was released just in time. He finally didn't have to worry about making a living.
After Su Qing posted the task, he chatted with the system for a while.
"I want to build a building like a clinic. People in the base have no place to get treatment when they are sick. It's really inconvenient, but I think the clinic inside is dark. What do I need to build it?"
"The host needs to collect medical equipment and medicines before building it."
She had some medicine in her backpack, but almost no medical equipment.
Since the hospitals in every city were relatively poor, she thought the things inside were useless so she always avoided them and never went in to search. However, she never expected that one day she would need them.
It seemed that she had to go on another trip. Su Qing closed the page, said goodbye to Fang Qing and the others, and left the base for the city.
It had been a long time since she had searched all the surrounding supplies and had not been in the city. Now when she came again, she found that there were far fewer zombies on the streets.
Su Qing quickly came to the hospital entrance and looked at the corpses all over the ground. She could no longer ignore them.
After walking around the hospital for a long time, she packed everything she could take into her backpack, including tables, chairs, beds, bedding, and medical equipment. She packed up everything she saw and searched several hospitals in the city. Su Qing's backpack was full again, and she turned around and left happily.
Su Qing drove directly back to the courtyard. When he got home, he found that Fuguier was not there. This dog especially liked to run around recently, but since it couldn't be lost anyway, Su Qing just let it play around.
After returning to the house and sitting down, Su Qing opened the construction interface and chose a location in the base to build a clinic. As for why he built a clinic instead of a hospital, it was because he was short of money. A hospital would consume too many building materials and it was really unnecessary at the moment. A large clinic could already meet daily needs.
"Congratulations to the host for building a new building, and you will be rewarded with 500 gold coins." The system prompted again.
After building the clinic, Su Qing used the refresh mall to refresh the various instruments, medicines, and other items in his backpack.
Most of the equipment in the clinic is automatic. Su Qing put various medical items into the display cabinets one by one and set the prices. Minor problems can be directly input into the machine for intelligent diagnosis and prescription. More serious problems require a doctor.
This clinic is divided into two parts: Chinese medicine and Western medicine. This surprised Su Qing a little. Chinese medicine was not taken seriously before the end of the world. She didn't expect that this base would have Chinese medicine. It was a pity that she had no medicinal materials. She would have to look through the seeds collected in the botanical garden to see if there were any herbs that could be planted.
In addition, she didn't know whether there were any doctors or nurses in the base, so she had to post a recruitment information.
…
Due to the drop in temperature, Qian Xiaojia's father did not have thick clothes to keep warm. He caught a cold after working outside for a day and had a bad cold. In the end times, there is a lack of medical care and medicine, and people basically have to rely on self-restraint to recover from illness. Her father's condition recurred, and she was unworthy of the title of attending physician in a tertiary hospital, but she failed because of the lack of medicine. She could only watch her father have a high fever.
She tried everything to cool her father down and asked the person in charge of the base for help, but the conditions at the base did not allow it and Supervisor Fang Qing was powerless. They had gone through hardships to avoid zombies, endured the exploitation of the base, and survived hunger and starvation. They had finally found a new base that was like a paradise. They had just experienced a few days of normal life when they unexpectedly caught a cold.
Qian Xiaojia later met an old Chinese doctor at the base. The old man told her some herbs and asked her to try her luck in the mountains. Early this morning, she took the risk and went out to collect herbs. After finally finding two herbs, she quickly returned to the base with her bag on her back.
I was walking towards the old man's house with the herbs. Halfway through, a white cloth suddenly appeared out of thin air on the open space beside me, and there seemed to be something covering it.
Qian Xiaojia stopped and looked curiously. After a few seconds, the white cloth disappeared and a building appeared on the open space with a sign of Shuguang Clinic hanging on it.
Clinic? There's a clinic at the base? She walked over quickly and looked through the glass window. It was empty. She gently touched the door, and it opened. Qian Xiaojia pushed it open and walked in.
The bright lobby was divided into two areas, one for traditional Chinese medicine and the other for Western medicine. She walked to the Western medicine department, where there was a reception desk and three automatic display cabinets against the wall on one side, which contained many medicines and medical items.
Qian Xiaojia hurried over and carefully checked the medicines in the display cabinet. She found some antipyretics and the price was not high. Her eyes reddened. She knew that these medicines were hard to come by in the end times, but she didn't expect that the base would sell them at such a cheap price. She took out her gold card from her pocket, swiped it on the machine with a trembling hand, and bought a box of antipyretics.
Great, Dad is saved!
