Zhang Xin was overjoyed to receive the books on planting!
She no longer stays in the fields all day; instead, she runs back and forth between the library and the fields. She reads books in the library so engrossed that she forgets to eat and sleep, and she has to go to the fields to check on things every two hours to feel at ease.
This state lasted for two days, and she finally remembered her daughter, Fang Qingdai.
Fang Qingdai has been extremely busy these past two days, constantly organizing books, registering them, and then delivering them to the library.
The team members were eager for more, but only those in agriculture and machinery received supplies. The other team members with different interests and skills could only wait anxiously for books that suited them.
While organizing the books, Fang Qingdai also had to use up all her daily rewind skills. In addition to stockpiling rewind medicines without fail, she now also had the task of collecting rewind parts.
Most of the parts retrieved from car manufacturers can be directly handed over to the team members for grinding, polishing, and repair.
However, the team members said that for some precision parts, simply polishing and removing rust cannot restore them to their original condition and will still affect their use.
This part can only be restored by Fang Qingdai herself.
When Zhang Xin came looking for her, Fang Qingdai was checking the long list of books. In the midst of her busy schedule, she took a moment to look up at her mother and thought she was missing her.
Fang Qingdai thought that no matter how busy she was, she couldn't neglect her family, so she put down her book list and prepared to strengthen her mother-daughter relationship with Zhang Xin.
To everyone's surprise, Zhang Xin turned away from Fang Qingdai's enthusiastic embrace and said with a worried look, "Stop fooling around, Mom has something important to do!"
Fang Qingdai: "..."
"What's wrong, Mom?"
Zhang Xin took out a piece of paper with a few words written on it: "Mom doesn't recognize these words, and there are no literacy teachers at our base right now. What should we do?"
“I’ve noticed that many team members are having trouble recognizing characters. Why don’t you go and find someone with a lot of knowledge to bring back to the base and teach them to read? There are quite a few kids at the base now, and they need teachers too!”
Fang Qingdai was stunned for a moment, then slapped her forehead.
She went back to her desk and rummaged around for a while before pulling out a red-covered book: "No need to tie anyone up, I have a dictionary here. Just look up any words you don't know!"
The literacy levels of people in the wasteland vary. Some have points and are eager to learn; the more classes they attend, the more they will know.
Some didn't have enough points, or they felt that knowing so many characters was useless, so they only attended a few classes.
The ordinary people in the shantytowns are even more illiterate.
But not everyone is like that.
The base's leadership still needs to receive cultural training, which includes not only introductions to the habits of various creatures in the wasteland, but also information on the power dynamics between different bases, resource distribution, and so on.
There are also history classes, but not the 5,000 years of history taught in the 21st century; they basically only cover the few decades before the end of the world.
Fang Qingdai taught Zhang Xin how to use a dictionary, and then took out about ten dictionaries to send to the library first to ease the team members' immediate needs.
But she was also planning in her mind that she still needed to find some teachers.
The cultural gap is not only due to the fact that many books and materials were not preserved when the end times came, but also because people were too busy to learn.
More importantly, the cultural elements that have been painstakingly preserved have been hoarded by the high-ranking officials of various bases, and even literacy requires people to spend points to exchange for it!
However, monopolies are detrimental to the development of the people. Fang Qingdai does not need to keep the people ignorant to consolidate her power. As an "ancient person" who came to the 21st century, she could not bear to see that cultural knowledge be forgotten.
However, let alone the Oasis Base, even if you searched through all four bases, you couldn't find a single person who was knowledgeable in everything from astronomy to geography and had the erudition to meet Fang Qingdai's needs. Who could possibly be this teacher?
She couldn't do it either; she was too busy, and each profession had its own expertise. Fang Qingdai knew she wasn't suited for teaching.
After much thought, the only solution is to cultivate talent if we lack talent!
She can first observe whether there are any students in the base who are extremely enthusiastic about learning, willing to learn and able to absorb knowledge, and willing to read regardless of the subject.
If there is such a person, Fang Qingdai is focusing on cultivating him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the dictionary was delivered to the base, they encountered two people who perfectly matched Fang Qingdai's criteria!
As soon as Fang Qingdai stepped into the library, she heard two hushed voices arguing.
Fang Qingdai frowned. Although the two of them were trying to keep their voices down, it was still quite noticeable in the quiet environment of the library.
She wanted to remind the two of their place, so she walked toward the source of the sound.
She then saw Huang Guang and Li Mingyue arguing heatedly, their heads close together, pointing at a passage in a book. Both of them were quite red in the face.
Fang Qingdai paused.
If you weren't so close that you could hear their argument, from a distance you would only see them sitting head to head, reading a book together, their faces flushed. Anyone would have the wrong idea!
Huang Guang was in his forties, and Li Mingyue was only eighteen or nineteen. With such a combination and such a posture, who wouldn't smack their lips in amazement?
If Li Mingyue's father, Li Peng, saw this, wouldn't he have a fight with Huang Guang?
The thought had barely crossed Fang Qingdai's mind when she heard a loud shout behind her! "What are you doing?!"
Fang Qingdai turned around and saw Li Peng transformed into the Hulk, swinging his vines at Huang Guang!
"You old man, stay away from my daughter!"
Huang Guang and Li Mingyue were startled by the loud shout. They turned around blankly, only to find the vines already in front of them!
Huang Guang was once the logistics minister of the Xuanwu Base. In this world where strength is paramount, even a logistics minister is quite capable!
He reacted quickly, brandishing his metal blade and slicing it towards Li Peng's vines, attempting to cut them off.
Li Peng destroyed two vines in a single encounter!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Fang Qingdai was stunned for a second before she reacted: "Stop! Stop hitting me!"
However, her words were not as quick as Li Peng's second attack. An enraged father, whose overall strength had more than doubled, was not so easy to calm down!
Seeing that Li Peng was serious, Huang Guang was both inexplicably angry and furious. He clenched his fist, and countless metal fragments appeared around him!
Just as the sharp metal shards were about to rain down on Li Peng, Fang Qingdai quickly summoned Xiao Teng, hoping to stop the fight!
However, Li Mingyue, who was standing next to Huang Guang, was one step ahead. Although she was also confused, she was naturally indignant to see Huang Guang attack her father. She immediately summoned the Vine Investment and tied Huang Guang up tightly in an instant!
Huang Guang was even more furious after being ambushed by someone close to him: "Why did you have to get involved in this mess?"
Li Mingyue looked up and exclaimed, "That's my dad!"
Huang Guang choked, finding the father and daughter's behavior inexplicable. He immediately unleashed his full power, attempting to conjure metal fragments to sever the bonds binding him.
Fortunately, Xiao Teng had already rushed up, wrapping its tail around Huang Guang and Li Mingyue, and its head around Li Peng, forcefully interrupting the spellcasting twice!
Everyone in the base knew Xiao Teng. Upon seeing Xiao Teng and Fang Qingdai, the tension between the two sides instantly subsided and they calmed down.
