Chapter 207 Waiting



Since the great flood, Yuan Zhiyi has been sailing with his parents and has helped hundreds of people.

At the beginning, there was extreme high temperature, the volcanic eruption came suddenly, and the heavy rain also came suddenly.

Before people had time to prepare measures to keep warm, the temperature dropped below zero and kept getting lower.

These hundreds of people couldn't survive the cold and were taken in by their ship.

They were sailing on the sea, and the supplies they could get were in the sea. Before the temperature dropped to the lowest point, they had already discovered a mutant fish with very thick skin. At that time, there were not enough clothes to wear, so they used this fish skin to sew coats.

Later, it was discovered by chance that if the fish skin was soaked in acid rain and then baked dry, a fine fiber structure would appear inside.

The fish skin clothes made by this process are as warm as down jackets.

Sure enough, some people were curious: "Fish skin coat? Can it keep you warm?"

Someone else asked, "The fish skin is so slippery, wouldn't it be cold to wear it?"

Yuan Zhiyi raised the corners of her lips. They really didn't know. She felt relieved and smiled: "Whether it's warm or not, it's not up to me to decide. There are more than a thousand people in our sea fort, so it's up to us to decide."

This technology is only mastered by their clothing department, and the production of clothes is kept strictly confidential. Even other survivors on the ship do not know how it is made. It is a confidential technology.

The reason why they came to Gongzhou and recruited people directly without investigating the situation was that this technology gave them the confidence.

No matter what the situation of the people in the First Base is, they all need to keep warm. There are only a few materials for keeping warm - the best is down jackets, but it is impossible to produce down jackets in today's society.

The lowest average annual temperature in Gongzhou in winter is only around -5℃. Even if some people have saved up down jackets, they are definitely a minority.

If it is an ordinary cotton coat, it is definitely not as good as a fish skin coat.

Only they have mastered the manufacturing technology of fish skin coats, which is an absolute advantage.

As soon as Yuan Zhiyi finished speaking, someone immediately responded: "How could it be cold! I am from Haibao, and I just got on board a month ago. At that time, I wore several layers of clothes, but they were not warm enough! After putting on Haibao's fish skin coat, I am not cold at all! One piece is worth several pieces."

"It's true! This fish skin coat is amazing, it's similar to the down jacket I wore before!" Another person also shared his experience, "I also got on the boat later, it was snowing that day, I almost froze to death!"

Then one by one, everyone started talking about how warm their fish skin jackets were.

Yuan Zhiyi waited for a long time, letting them finish talking, and then spoke with some pride: "Everyone who comes to the sea fort will have a fish skin coat! It's absolutely true. With a fish skin coat, you don't have to endure the cold anymore!"

After she finished saying all she wanted to say, she did not linger any longer: "Those survivors who are still suffering from the cold, please come to the sea fort as soon as possible. You will no longer have to suffer from hunger and cold. Let us work together to build the largest human survival base and build a new tomorrow."

Yuan Zhiyi turned off his own talking line and just listened to the follow-up, not intending to speak anymore.

The radio station also discussed the recent weather and predicted when the cold weather would end.

She turned her head to look at the person next to her and chuckled, "Uncle Zong, you can prepare to pack up all the fish-skin coats. Wait, someone should come to seek refuge soon. Listen, they are all complaining about the cold."

The uncle nodded and said, "The factory director and the lord have already made arrangements. All the fish skin coats in stock have been taken out and prepared. We are just waiting for people to come and distribute them one by one."

Yuan Zhiyi nodded: "Very good."

She then sighed, "However, it's a headache to think about so many people coming soon. I have to get busy again, arranging accommodation, food and drinks. It's troublesome!"

Uncle Zong said, "Yes. We don't know how many people will come this time, and whether there will be enough clothes. We have taken out all the fish skin clothes in the warehouse. There are more than a thousand pieces. If there are not enough, we have to speed up the production."

Uncle Zong: "The sea is frozen now, so it's hard to catch fish. We have to go out to the unfrozen areas to cast nets and catch fish in order to make new fish skin clothes."

Yuan Zhiyi: "The more people come, the better. Our blue oil factory also needs people to produce. The carcasses of those fish are piled up there, but the production speed can't keep up. I see my parents are worried every day."

"I'm not worried anymore!" Yuan Zhiyi looked towards the mountains through the window, "A lot of people will be here soon!"

Qiao Xuejun listened to the conversation on the radio but didn't hear anything useful. She joined the conversation and asked the sea fort survivors about fish skin coats, trying to get some information.

But I didn't get anything out of him, and the other party didn't know anything about anything I asked.

It seems that this fish skin clothing technology may be kept secret to a certain extent.

Kuang Qianli was also very curious: "I want to take a look."

He held up the metal frame he had been tinkering with and said, "I want to make a metal exoskeleton that keeps you warm, but it will take a long time to make, and I'm still short of materials. I don't know what effect fish skin has. I want to make one and see."

Zhao Linlin's eyes widened: "Are you going to steal?"

Just like stealing their prey in the past, sneakily!

Kuang Qianli choked. He had this thought for a moment, but -

"I won't steal anymore. Didn't you two almost beat me to death the last time I stole something?" At that time, Zhao Linlin was driving a chainsaw to scare him.

Qiao Xuejun: "I want to get one to see, too. Let's exchange it with them."

Kuang Qianli: "What do you want to exchange for? Blue oil?"

Blue oil is the most precious thing now.

Qiao Xuejun: "They survive on the sea, so they shouldn't be short of blue oil."

Kuang Qianli: "Use pumpkin or potato?"

The potatoes they planted will be harvested in the next few days.

When it was time for dinner, Qiao Xuejun got up and took out the food that Zhao Linlin had prepared at noon from the steamer and put it on the table: "No hurry. Wait a moment."

The current publicity appeal of the Sea Fortress is not that great. Although the First Base is currently short of food and warmth, they are still similar compared to the Sea Fortress.

Didn't the Sea Castle only promise to give one fish skin coat? The base also promised to give one coat to each person.

If their recruitment is not as successful as expected, they may continue to increase their publicity efforts and talk about how good their fish skin coats are.

She loves to hear this.

On the first day, no one came to the sea fort, and Yuan Zhiyi felt a little lost.

In the reception room, the staff responsible for registering and distributing fish-skin coats were guarding the clothing boxes, holding the registration manuals, sitting at the table, waiting for people to come and seek refuge.

I waited for most of the day, but it was already dark and no one showed up.

"That's strange. Is it because it's too dark that we can't find our boat?"

Another staff member replied: "How is that possible? The ship is so big, you can just come over and stand on those mountains and look down and you can see it!"

Yuan Zhiyi also heard what they said, and suppressed the disappointment in his heart, and said in a natural tone: "Why are you in such a hurry? It will take some time to move here with your family. It's not shopping. You can't just come here as you please. That's moving!"

"Wait a little longer, until tomorrow."
