Lin Chuchu strongly suspected that they would have to spend the rest of the year away from home and wouldn't be able to return anytime soon.
Lin Chuchu lay in bed thinking of her family, but now that the border defense was complete, she wanted to go home to see them.
The next morning, everyone set off again.
The first time was at the northernmost border of China, which is also the coldest border in winter.
Conditions here are harsh, and every winter, many soldiers develop frostbite on their hands and feet.
Standing guard in the dead of winter, wearing a military overcoat.
This area is most lacking in medicine, and also in vegetables.
There was no shortage of fish, but eating fish all the time would get boring, and with no vegetables available, many soldiers were in a sub-healthy state.
When Lin Chuchu and her group arrived, it wasn't winter, the weather was alright, and the soldiers there were incredibly welcoming.
Team Leader Qin first learned about the local situation and what the soldiers lacked. Then, he asked Lin Chuchu to take out some prepared medicinal herbs from her spatial storage.
Besides finished medicines, there are also some traditional Chinese herbal medicines.
These medicines were collected from various places over the past few times.
"That's great. With these medicines, the soldiers will have an easier time during the winter."
The division commander was excited. He had heard about this group coming to help the people at the border, but he hadn't expected Comrade Lin to be so capable.
I heard it's some kind of space, very powerful. The commander looked at Lin Chuchu with burning eyes. With this thing, life in the future will be a little easier.
The division commander led his men to their new residence, where many buildings resembled those of Russia, and many houses were made of wood.
There is an insulation layer inside, but can such a wooden house really keep the heat insulated?
The division commander said with a smile, "As long as we can gather more firewood, there won't be any problems in winter."
Team Leader Qin, however, did not think so.
"Commander, I see that many people here have built stone houses. Aren't stone houses better than wooden houses?"
The division commander's eyes lit up. "Of course, if we replace the wooden houses with stone houses, they will definitely be warmer."
"However, summers are short here, and most of the land is frozen soil, making it difficult to dig stones. There are also no large machines here, so it's not easy to work with stones."
Team Leader Qin didn't see this as a problem. "Don't worry, we have enough stones and machines here. Please find us an open space, and I'll have Comrade Lin bring everything out."
Lin Chuchu's space is full of stones; she brought back quite a few from the stone forest last time.
Fearing that the stones would be too big to use, they asked the soldiers to cut them into smaller pieces, making them easier for them to use.
The stone-cutting tool was brought back from the Beijing base; it was something they had urgently developed. With that tool, the stone could be cut very smoothly.
Therefore, it also makes it convenient for them to use.
The division commander quickly found them an open space, and at that moment, many untrained soldiers looked over curiously.
With a wave of her hand, Lin Chuchu produced a number of stones. Everyone stared in astonishment as the stones were all hand-cut and looked very neat.
The division commander was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly, "Haha, thank you, Comrade Lin! Comrade Lin is really amazing. With these stones, we can build stone houses."
Lin Chuchu then took out some tools, mainly several cutting machines, and said with a smile.
“Some of these stones are too wide; you can use this machine to cut them into the appropriate size.”
"Okay, okay."
The division commander said "good" three times in a row, excitedly patted a company of men, and told them to come and learn about these machines, and then send people to find a suitable foundation.
There were people in their unit who knew construction; they saw the stones, and there was cement, sand, and gravel nearby.
"Commander, these stones can be used directly. To save space, we can build a three-story building, and we can use the remaining open space to build a training ground."
"Haha, good, let's get the foundation laid right away. There are still two months until winter, maybe we can all live in stone houses this winter."
Nobody wants to suffer without effort, and they are naturally happy if the environment can be improved.
Everyone was incredibly excited, and the entire base was bustling with activity.
They now live in two-story wooden houses, each housing 100 people in large communal sleeping areas, in very poor conditions.
Many people passed by, so they deliberately occupied a large open space.
They deliberately separated the camps into several areas, which were quite far apart.
The division commander convened an emergency meeting, summoning all the key personnel from each camp. After three days of discussion, they reached a decision.
"Commander, you're saying you want to relocate the camp?"
Team Leader Qin looked quietly at the division commander.
“Yes, but the local government gave us a place a long time ago, and that place can easily accommodate all of us. You have too few resources and dare not waste them, so I have not moved away.”
The division commander said with a smile.
"Since we can take advantage of Comrade Lin's space, we might as well move directly and leave a few camps for the local people. After all, the people are not having an easy time either."
This place is very poor, extremely poor. Apart from abundant water resources, there are few forests around, and meat is rarely available. Conditions are extremely harsh.
After they moved away, the houses they left behind were left to the people.
"This time we'll have to trouble Comrade Lin, since there's so much stuff, and it would be too time-consuming for us to just go back and forth to get it."
Lin Chuchu quickly shook her head, "You're too kind, Commander. Please let me know if there's anything I can help you with."
Having decided to relocate the camp, Lin Chuchu still put everything in the warehouse into her spatial storage, including all kinds of weapons.
Next, the group arrived at the new camp by car, and the camp area was indeed very large.
The dormitories, bathrooms, and canteens are all there. Winters are long here, so we need to work on both outdoor and indoor training rooms.
Fortunately, the division commanders already had a plan in mind, and they already knew how to plan each area.
Each regiment occupies a separate area, and the area under each regiment is further subdivided.
Lin Chuchu didn't understand these things very well, and she believed whatever others said.
The underground permafrost layer is more than two meters deep, and digging below that depth is quite difficult.
Fortunately, everyone had other options. If the machines couldn't be used, they would use bombs. In short, they made the foundation very solid.
After the infrastructure is completed, the next step is to build the houses on top. The stones only need to be simply cut, and then cement is used to fill the gaps to prevent large holes.
The rooms were built quickly, since they didn't require much decoration; all that was needed was to define the load-bearing walls, the individual rooms, and the stairwells.
A building can be built in two days.
After all, the military has plenty of people, which is a big advantage.
Everyone exclaimed, "I never thought building a house would be so simple!"
