Fang Qingdai felt a little regretful, but thinking about all the books in the space, she felt relieved and manipulated the space to prepare to leave.
Instead of turning back, she identified the direction and chose the route that would allow her to leave the contaminated area as quickly as possible.
When they reached the edge of the city, Fang Qingdai stopped.
She was staring blankly in one direction when Jing Yi noticed and asked, "What's wrong?"
Fang Qingdai rubbed her chin: "There's a car factory up ahead."
"Although cars are different from dune buggies, I think many of their components and parts are interchangeable. Maybe we can bring them back and have the team modify them?"
Half of the dune buggies in the base were retrieved by Fang Qingdai, and the other half were brought by Mao Yun and the others.
There are currently only 20 vehicles in total, and with over a hundred team members at the base, it's enough for daily use.
But we always have to think about the future.
If we don't master the technology to manufacture cars, we'll have to purchase from other bases if we need more vehicles in the future. Not only will the credit expenditure be huge, but we'll also be vulnerable to being held hostage by others.
China was once at a disadvantage compared to other countries because of its backward technology. Our ancestors worked hard to level the playing field, enduring countless hardships and cold stares and ridicule along the way.
Fang Qingdai naturally didn't want her base to face the same situation. These technologies don't have to be perfect, but they can't be completely ignorant of!
With this in mind, Fang Qingdai still went into the car manufacturing plant and began collecting materials and parts from workshop to workshop.
The neatly stacked materials in the warehouse couldn't possibly be overlooked!
Without the supplies from ** this time, Fang Qingdai was unable to completely take over the car manufacturing plant in one go.
Fortunately, the car factory is already on the edge of the city, and it's only a half-hour walk outside the city to leave the highly polluted area.
Once you've put on your protective gear, you can drive away from the source of pollution.
When Fang Qingdai got tired, she left the contaminated area and set up camp with her teammates to rest. After resting, she went back to collect supplies.
It took three days of hard work to finally take over the car manufacturing plant!
Although many parts have oxidized and rusted over time, metal items can be polished and restored without affecting their use, so this was still a very fruitful haul!
Fang Qingdai was so tired this time that she felt like dying. After finishing the last trip, she crawled into the car at the temporary camp and fell asleep immediately.
Before going to sleep, she was still thinking that if there was a car manufacturing plant, there must be other plants as well.
In the early days of the apocalypse, people have the greatest need for food and medicine, and factories outside of that are unlikely to be visited by many.
Later on, the authorities might start sending people to search for those buildings or production materials, but by then the pollution source would have already enveloped the entire city, and the authorities wouldn't be able to get in.
Therefore, in areas with high pollution sources or high radiation, apart from food and medicine, other resources should still be relatively well preserved.
Fang Qingdai was really reluctant to let them gather dust, so she planned to collect more, purify them in her space before taking them back, and then purify them again with instruments before putting them into use at the base!
But this time it wouldn't work. She had been out for a while, and Fang Qingdai was worried, so she decided to go back and check on things first.
In addition, Xiao Mao and the others also had to rush back to complete their mission as the deadline was approaching.
The two groups parted ways, and the team members were reluctant to leave. They looked at Fang Qingdai as if she were a scumbag who had abandoned his wife and daughter!
Fang Qingdai was speechless and could only gently comfort her: "The new base has just been established, and our strength is weak and vulnerable. The base needs support and supplies from the Xuanwu base to operate and develop!"
"Everyone has a heavy responsibility. I hope you can follow the arrangements of Xiao Mao, Xuan Liu, and Xuan Ba, and cooperate with the organization. Once we have matured and no longer rely on resources from other bases for smuggling, you can all come home with me!"
Upon hearing this, the team members finally withdrew their lingering, reluctant gazes and made solemn promises.
"Don't worry, Captain, we'll listen to Brother Mao and the others, cooperate with them, and provide resources for our new home!"
"Yes, we will follow your instructions!"
"Don't worry, Captain!"
Having received the promise, Fang Qingdai nodded vigorously: "Thank you all for your hard work. I will definitely work hard to make the new base develop faster and strive to bring you all home as soon as possible!"
After some mobilization and to stabilize morale, everyone parted ways with Xiao Mao, Fang Qingdai, and the others.
Fang Qingdai wasn't just fooling the team members; she sensed their expectations and trust, and an indescribable passion welled up inside her.
She must work hard to build her ideal home as soon as possible, so as not to let down the trust and support of her relatives and friends!
Upon returning to the Immortal Burial Oasis, Fang Qingdai immediately began organizing the supplies she had brought back.
All the car parts were taken out and handed over to Huang Guang for purification, and then transferred to people who knew mechanical manufacturing so that they could study, assemble, and modify them.
To this end, the mechanical manufacturing team at the Oasis Base was officially established. Currently, there are only five people, but everyone is very enthusiastic. Every day, you can see several people arguing heatedly about the project.
Fang Qingdai worked overtime to organize the books, prioritizing those on mechanical manufacturing and agricultural practices. She then selected the most sturdy and spacious building in the complex to serve as the library and moved the books inside.
Fang Qingdai found an old man rescued from the laboratory. The old man's name was Su Qian. He was the oldest of the test subjects and should not have been selected as a test subject, but his abilities were also very special.
He possesses psychic abilities but is not aggressive. He can only leave a mental mark on objects or people, which can then be used to easily locate the person or object.
The branding marks can remain for months, making it an excellent tracking technique!
But right now, there's no need to track anyone in the base; his abilities are perfect for the library!
Su Qian imprinted each book with his mental mark, which only required a tiny bit of his special ability each time. This way, he could sense the location of each book with his special ability with absolute precision!
With him looking after the library, there's no need to worry about not finding the right book!
Su Qian was also very excited. He cautiously asked Fang Qingdai, "Captain, can I read all these books?"
Fang Qingdai nodded: "Of course! Anyone from the Oasis Base can enter the library to visit and read for free, but at present, it is not allowed to take the books out of the library; they can only be read inside."
"As the librarian, you are responsible for protecting and organizing the books, and reminding everyone who comes in to read not to damage them!"
Fang Qingdai immediately prepared to start printing, printing a few copies of these books and storing them in her spatial storage!
This way, even if this batch of books is accidentally destroyed, the lineage won't be completely severed!
Before this, all I could do was repeatedly remind the team members who were reading the book to be extra careful.
Fortunately, the team members cherished the opportunity to acquire knowledge. Everyone entered the library with a devout look, breathing as quietly as possible, and not daring to use their hands to turn the pages of the books, but instead using small wooden sticks to turn them gently!
