As night fell, Xia He dressed herself neatly, wearing a thermostatic top and pants of the same material. The two little ones were also dressed in clothes of the same material as Xia He. However, Xia He had cut and made these clothes herself, and to be honest, they weren't very aesthetically pleasing.
However, Xia He wasn't the kind of person who cared about saving face. She felt that the two little ones were already quite well dressed, especially since it was the apocalypse.
So, the two little ones, whose fur had been shaved bald by Xia He and hadn't grown back fully, were dressed in tattered clothes, looking quite destitute, like something out of a post-apocalyptic world...
This week, the base has undergone tremendous changes.
First, there's the flow of people at night.
This week, Dr. Fu used the rare metals he collected to develop a thermostatic garment that can keep the human body temperature constant at 26°C. However, the materials are currently limited, so the price is very expensive, costing 2,000 points, equivalent to 200 kilograms of ordinary metal and 20 kilograms of rare metal.
Given the current abundance of metal resources, many people can afford to wear this at this price.
So, when Xia He wandered around the base, she also noticed many people wearing thermostatic suits. They weren't surprised by Xia He's attire, but they felt it was a waste of resources that Xia He gave to the two dogs thermostatic suits.
There are currently a lot of people coming and going in the base, and they are all heading in one direction: the villa area.
So Xia He followed the crowd all the way to the villa area and found that the villas that were once neatly arranged had now been leveled. All the bricks were piled up to one side, and there were special movers who carried the bricks away. What was left was all steel bars.
The steel bars were then placed into a makeshift incinerator that had been scavenged from outside and put into a furnace for calcination.
There is no need to worry about the base's power supply at present, because there is plenty of sunshine during the day, and we also have rare metals that we have collected. After Dr. Fu's refining, the light energy is converted into electrical energy.
Xia He then discovered that in the center of the villa area, there was a huge structure under construction. It was made up of pieces of metal panels and was already about 10 meters high and 30 meters in diameter. Xia He didn't know what this huge structure was for, but her intuition told her that it should be some kind of building.
Just as Xia He was watching intently, Xiao Lin appeared beside her from nowhere.
"This is a mobile post-apocalyptic fortress that is about to be built. The initial concept is to house the people of an entire base."
Xiao Lin answered seriously.
Xia He asked, "A base? Just this metal box? How long will it take to build?"
Xiao Lin smiled and said, "You must have heard of the speed of China. The Chinese are more resilient than you think. Moreover, the base is currently absorbing a steady stream of outsiders, which is faster than the previous method of recruiting new people with food. Furthermore, most of the metals in the vicinity can be gathered at the base. Believe in the power of people, Xia He."
Looking at the cylindrical iron box in front of her, Xia He couldn't connect it to a mobile fortress in the apocalypse at all. But looking at the people around her who were working hard and sweating, Xia He felt the power and hope contained within it.
Xiao Lin smiled slightly, his gaze fixed on the mobile fortress under construction, and said firmly, "The development of the base requires the efforts of everyone, and this mobile fortress will become our new home."
