As a result, after Fan Wenqing and others planted the seeds, they discovered that they might be able to eat more than just pasta in the autumn.
Before leaving the camp, Fang Xun specially found a few experienced residents to lead other residents to explore resources in the surrounding areas.
Then they actually discovered a lot of wild food, and in order to increase production, they pulled it up by the roots.
They brought back potatoes, radishes, wild berries, melon vines, sweet potato vines, some spices, and some edible wild mushrooms.
They also found a solitary small bamboo forest in a remote area in the east. At this season, there were many old bamboo shoots in it, much more than the small forest they had seen before.
Under normal circumstances, no one would want to eat these old bamboo shoots, but now in a world with scarce resources and insufficient food, they are happy to bring them back to fill their stomachs.
Fan Wenqing and her companions were overjoyed to see the harvest.
Except for old bamboo shoots and wild mushrooms, they collected everything else and planted them carefully back into the soil the next day in several plots of land that the residents had helped to divide.
The group planned to dispose of the remaining old bamboo shoots and wild mushrooms, as well as two small radish seedlings that had been damaged by insects, tonight, so as to give the children in the camp a different cooked meal to comfort their fearful emotions during the journey.
But just when everyone was struggling with not having made cooking tools and having difficulty cooking food, suddenly, a heavy dragging sound came from a distance.
Everyone immediately turned around and saw from a distance that it was another group of residents who had gone out to dig soil early in the morning.
Things like utensils require soil, and the best kind is wet soil and fine clay from rivers and streams. Knowing this, the residents ran to the streams in the forest and dug up a lot of wet soil.
Then use vines to tie the cut wood into boards, put wet soil on the boards, tie longer vines, and pull them back.
Fang Xun had promised to meet again at the camp next door yesterday. Now that they had left, the other two residents in charge of temporary discipline immediately called on other residents to help and transport all the wet soil back.
Seeing the pile of wet soil, Fan Wenqing jumped up and down: "Here's the soil! Here's the soil! I can use it to make a small pot and cook something to eat!"
One resident asked, "Will you burn it?"
Now is the 21st century, and many people have no knowledge of wilderness survival, and those who do have it are mostly just theoretical concepts.
Apart from people like Fang Xun who had to learn wilderness survival experience before joining the army, there was no one else in this camp who had to practice the art.
I wonder if gamers like Fan Wenqing would do that.
Fan Wenqing nodded, gesturing in the air: "Just shape it first, then burn it dry!"
Resident: "Is burning like this really reliable? I mean, this is the difficulty of Hell Mode. Will it be more difficult and realistic than other games?"
Fan Wenqing suddenly fell into deep thought: "In the game I play, this is indeed enough. I don't know if this mode of game is effective."
The residents present were also in a dilemma. Just as they were about to decide to give it a try, Fan Wenqing suddenly had an idea and snapped her fingers: "I forgot about my sister."
"What sister?"
Fan Wenqing turned around and shouted towards her small camp: "Tao Zhenzhen!!!"
Tao Zhenzhen's childish voice responded from afar: "What?!"
"Is Sister Si Lan still at home?!"
Tao Zhenzhen poked her little head out from under the straw shed and looked around: "Yes, Sister Si Lan is about to start building the house. When will you come back to help?!"
Fan Wenqing scratched her head: Ah, this.
I'm too busy.
She yelled again: "Then ask sister to stop being busy and come over to see us!"
Tao Zhenzhen took a few seconds to respond: "Why am I asking you?!"
“I want to make pottery!”
"She said, just burn it! Don't you know how to do it?!"
"What if I don't cook them well? Besides, do we have to cook them one by one?!"
Tao Zhenzhen retracted her head again. After a while, she came out of the straw hut, put on her shoes, and walked towards Fan Wenqing.
At the same time, Si Lan also walked out of everyone's blind spot, carrying the large and small stone shovels newly made by Liu Qing and walked over.
"Sister, sister, you can make pottery, right? Yes, yes, right?" Fan Wenqing asked expectantly.
Si Lan walked over to the wet soil, pinched a handful, and after confirming the quality, she looked at Fan Wenqing: "There's no such thing as good or bad stuff with this kind of thing. If you're worried it's not strong enough, just add layer by layer and then burn it."
Fan Wenqing: "Do you mean to surround it in circles?"
"right."
She looked at the stone shovel in Si Lan's hand again: "Then why did you bring these here?"
"Don't you want to burn them one by one? Dig a kiln. Call all the children in the camp."
Fan Wenqing followed up with a shout: "Children, gather!"
The children asked her what she was doing, and she asked Si Lan what she was doing.
Tao Zhenzhen, who already knew the truth, said: "Play with mud!"
A group of children who were not active in their work came running over.
Si Lan called over a few male residents and asked them to dig a hole, pour wet soil into it, add water and chopped hay, and have the children step on it hard.
The dexterous Fan Wenqing and others used wet soil without grass to mold the prototype of the vessel. Si Lan taught them several reinforcement methods, and then took the residents who were strong and efficient to choose a place to dig a hole.
She dug three large pits according to the number of residents in the camp, and then instructed the residents to use wet soil mixed with hay to build and bake different parts of the earthen kiln.
After the bottom layer of the earthen kiln is made and the interlayer is added and baked dry, the kiln wall is built and dried again. After it cools down naturally the next day, it can be put into use.
The entire process took most of the day to complete.
She demonstrated in the first kiln pit, and the residents nearby followed her to do the second and third.
After all the earthen kilns were dried, everyone looked at the "masterpiece" made under her leadership in amazement and admired themselves.
"That's amazing, Miss Si Lan. Where did you learn this skill?"
Si Lan seemed to avoid such questions. She only gave an ambiguous reply and went to check the progress of Fan Wenqing and others.
Under her guidance, the small team led by the latter also found a faster and better firing method.
Si Lan had just finished building the earthen kiln, and Fan Wenqing had already heated up the small pot for cooking tonight.
After the earthen pot cooled down, Fan Wenqing ran to the lake to scoop water to test it, and found that it was not leaking at all!
"It worked, it worked, ahhhh, this method works, we'll have a pot tonight!"
This is probably the result of mass cooperation. The cooking utensils that are not worth a second glance in real life have caused cheers from everyone on this special day.
The child ran to look at the pot.
The adults also took turns studying them out of curiosity.
Si Lan was obviously familiar with this kind of results. She just asked Fan Wenqing to try other small bowls and pots that had been prepared. After making sure they were all usable, she put away the stone shovel and walked back.
Fan Wenqing looked at her and said, "Where are you going, sister? Let's make something to eat for you!"
Si Lan shook her head: "I don't need it. Let the children and adults who go out to work eat more."
Then he called out, "Tao Zhenzhen, come and get them some rabbits to roast. Once they're full, come back and build the house."
Tao Zhenzhen went over obediently and brought back five wild rabbits that Si Lan had hunted, plus pheasants and wild ducks contributed by other residents, and a sumptuous dinner was made.
The people in the camp never imagined that after only five days of staying there, they had wild vegetables and meat, simple pottery, and earthen kilns for mass production of pottery. Even the houses had frames built and windproof straw roofs installed thanks to the efforts of experienced players!
Next, they just need to spend a few more days building the walls and making the necessary simple furniture, and they will have their first house in this game and it will become a real big camp!
Everyone looked at the camp and sighed, "I wonder if other infrastructure games have the same speed as ours. We have built such a large scale in just a few days."
Others: "We're still doing group construction. What we've built these past few days isn't just a house for one or two people, it's a house for a whole group of people! Such incredible efficiency, anyone who sees it would be envious, right?"
"Can we break the world record?"
"Oh, there's no world record for this. We can apply for one when we get back."
“I don’t know what other camps are like.”
"The government didn't specify how many players were trapped. Do you think our camps are the only ones?"
"It should be more than that, right? Didn't we say we were going to build an empire? What kind of empire can we build with just a few camps?"
"So are the players from our country the only ones trapped?"
"...That's right? This game can't just crash the whole world, right? And if it becomes an international incident...wouldn't the whole world have to come to our rescue?"
"That's not necessarily true. On our Blue Planet, how many countries truly care about their citizens?"
"Historically, when a nation is struck by disaster, the upper classes and the common people often become divided. Our country is the only one that stands united, with the upper classes standing firm. If players from other countries are trapped, in the end, I'm afraid it will be our country that will step in to help."
Everyone thought about it and said: That makes sense.
Even the M Empire, which once dominated Blue Star, looked after its own interests in the face of the catastrophe, leaving the people alone under the banner of mass freedom.
When it comes to serving the people, only Country T has truly and completely achieved this.
Not only that, our country will also assist other countries when it has the capacity to do so. In this respect, other countries cannot catch up.
Everyone quickly put aside their extra thoughts: "Anyway, we are waiting for the country to save us. We can't control other things. It shouldn't be that serious."
"Yes, that's right. Just wait. If we move faster, will we be able to pass through customs and leave before the country finds out the reason?"
Everyone laughed, thinking that this could save the country some money.
The anxiety and panic of being trapped at the beginning gradually dissipated. As the game progressed particularly smoothly, not only did everyone stop worrying, they also gradually began to find the game interesting.
Until night fell, everyone fed the children and left a portion of meat for Fang Xun and Si Lan. The remaining food was distributed to the residents who had contributed the most recently.
Just at this time, Fang Xun brought back two wild goats from the camp next door, one male and one female, suitable for breeding.
Everyone was so reluctant to eat it that they donated wood, bamboo strips and other materials overnight to build a sheep pen, and also made chicken and rabbit cages.
Then, they had the first batch of self-raised livestock and poultry in the camp. As long as they took good care of them, a mature meat supply chain should be just around the corner!
The construction speed of this camp was so fast that two days later, a few players who had been wandering outside after falling out with everyone came back. They were hungry and in a miserable state, but when they saw this lively camp illuminated by the campfire, fire gradually appeared in their eyes.
Meanwhile, within Country T's gaming security department, a special task force welcomed a new wave of elite talent. However, they also received some extremely ominous news.
