Xu Kaitai didn't know what was lost. "I heard that nearly 30 boxes were lost, all of which were parts of the automatic suction boat."

Speaking of the automatic suction boat, one can't help but think of the Tianqi, the artifact for island building in the South China Sea.

"It seems that the parts that fell were not large, but mechanical equipment is like this. Even if the screws are lost, they can't start and operate normally."

So the island-building plan was shelved, but the higher-ups are still thinking of a solution. It has not been made public for the time being, and the survivors on the bottom don't know.

After dinner, Xu Kaitai expressed his gratitude and said goodbye.

He also lives in Area B 2, not far from Jiang Ning and others, "I will treat you to dinner next time I am on vacation."

This is how socializing works. Only when there is give and take can it last long.

After closing the door and cleaning up the table, Jiang Ning sat on the sofa and thought, what they salvaged from the seabed was most likely the spare parts of the automatic suction boat. There were

25 boxes in total, which was very close in quantity.

But she couldn't go to the base and ask if they had lost spare parts and I had picked them up to make room.

The container couldn't be opened, and even if she opened it violently, she wouldn't recognize what was inside.

"Should we give it back to them?"

Huo Yi thought deeply, "Of course, but it's still a problem."

The area within hundreds of nautical miles belongs to the new homeland, and there are patrol ships. This is a national base with fighter jets and warships, not a small private base.

If you give it within the base, it is very likely to be discovered; if you give it outside the base, what if it is picked up by survivors from other countries and used for threats or transactions?

It is still an obligation, but the premise is to protect yourself.

Huo Yishen said carefully: "There is no rush. We have already settled down in the base and will find a foolproof method."

Jiang Ning also thought so. She must ensure that she must be safe.

Give it when there is a chance, and don't give it when there is no chance.

Days passed, and Jiang Ning was at home making salted fish.

Doudou had just entered the workplace and encountered many difficulties at the beginning. Some people were young and she thought they were easy to bully, so she began to make plans, insinuating or deliberately trying to please them in order to take advantage.

Although she had no experience in interpersonal relationships, under the influence of her brother and sister-in-law, Doudou grasped the purpose - not to suffer losses.

Can't take a loss, refers to material things.

Being criticized won't hurt her, so in most cases she will endure it if she can, and fight back when she can't. She

has a smile on her face, speaks without using any foul language but is very sharp, and leaves people speechless for a while.

After several confrontations, the colleagues who didn't get the upper hand have become much more restrained.

Especially when they learned that she lived in Area B 2, their attitudes changed 180 degrees, and some even deliberately flattered her.

Doudou kept a distance from everyone.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and she came back with a pound of green vegetables, "Sister-in-law, I've been converted to a regular employee."

Today, benefits were distributed, and each person in the maggot-raising group was given two taels of maggots to supplement protein. Everyone else was happy, but Doudou was frowning, and it happened that someone in the vegetable-growing group wanted to take advantage.

Doudou quickly exchanged the maggots for green vegetables.

Her colleagues laughed at her behind her back for being stupid. She was willing to trade maggots for vegetables. She was afraid she would be beaten when she got home.

This was protein and meat!

The vegetables were grown well. Jiang Ning was very happy. "Let's fry them tonight."

So Doudou was excited to wash the vegetables and cook them. Jiang Ning ate them very happily and couldn't help but praise her. "Well, what Doudou earns is delicious."

Doudou smiled and announced the good news. "Sister-in-law, our maggot breeding group is going to expand and build another production line. I was promoted to a team leader because of my good performance."

Jiang Ning immediately gave her a chicken leg. "Wow, our Doudou is great."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Doudou smiled. "Sister-in-law is the best to me."

It was not fast or slow. Another month passed.

The sharp-nosed monkey came over and knocked on the door, asking her if she wanted food or other supplies.

Jiang Ning then realized that under Wang Meili's careful care, the survival rate of herbal seeds was very good, so he pulled out some seedlings and went out to trade.

Unexpectedly, the business was particularly good, and he exchanged a lot of supplies.

Jiang Ning looked at the sharp-nosed monkey and felt that he should be doing well recently. His face had a little more flesh.

She was not short of food, "Give me some small furniture."

"Come on, sister, I promise to find you the best."

The sharp-nosed monkey gave a sincere smile, "Sister, you are so noble, every transaction can make me prosperous."

These herbs made him earn a lot of money, enough to eat until he was 50% full.

Jiang Ning smiled, "I didn't suffer any losses either."

After sending the sharp-nosed monkey away, he continued to lie down.

They lie down and eat salted fish every day. As more and more survivors arrive at their new home, the brothers and sisters are getting busier and busier at work, and Huo Yishen often even works overtime.

It was said that they would work from 8 am to 5 pm with two days off. Haha, if you take it seriously, you lose.

When Liu Cheng, Xu Kaitai and others are on break, everyone gathers to chat, but it is only occasionally.

Locked in the room, eating and waiting to die, lying down and eating salted fish until the waist and back ache, the days are gradually boring and irritable.

At this time, an unexpected guest came.

Jiang Ning did not expect that Jiang Guanshan would come to visit.

Still smiling like Maitreya Buddha, he got straight to the point: "Comrade Jiang, I'm here to ask you for medicine."

Jiang Ning was puzzled, "Quick-acting heart-saving pills?"

"Yes, I've finished the last batch of medicine."

"I used up the last batch of medicine through connections, and it's gone once I use it up."

"It doesn't matter, many herbs in the herbal garden can be harvested. I heard that you are a Chinese medicine major, and you have studied with famous teachers, and you are very knowledgeable about ancient methods of preparing medicines. I came here today to invite you to join the base hospital."

Jiang Ning's alarm bells immediately rang, "Who told you that?"

Jiang Guanshan didn't answer, "The base is in ruins, and many survivors have experienced ten years of natural disasters, and their bodies are broken. More and more people are sick, and Western medicine civilization is almost gone. Now there is only Chinese medicine left, but what the base lacks most is experienced Chinese medicine doctors.

Comrade Jiang, you are a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. We survive not only to live, but also to pass on the 5,000-year-old civilization of our ancestors. I hope you can become a part of the rejuvenation, and I sincerely hope you can join."

Jiang Ning didn't know how to respond to such a high compliment.

Jiang Guanshan said sincerely: "If you have any concerns or requests, you can directly ask, and I will do my best to solve them."

Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment, "Let me think about it."

"Okay, I'll wait for your answer."

He turned away without interrupting.

In the evening, Huo Yishen brought back fish cakes, about two kilograms.

Jiang Ning was surprised, "Where did you

get it from?" "It's a welfare." Huo Yishen said amazingly, "Made with yellow croaker from the sea."

"Can the mutant fish be eaten? "

The researchers persisted in the research for several months, cutting out the mutant toxin veins in the yellow croaker, removing all the internal organs, epidermis, mucous membranes, etc., and then mincing the fish meat into minced meat and making cakes, which were then steamed at high temperature for two hours."

The research department recruited tasters, who ate the cakes for several months without any problems.

The base officially included yellow croaker cakes as safe food and is planning to build a food factory. It will not only sell them to survivors, but also provide benefits to staff.

Huo Yishen could not refuse, so he had to take them home.

Jiang Ning said nothing and put the fish cakes into the space for storage.

She has no shortage of safe and healthy food now, and it won't be too late to take them out and eat them when food is really scarce.
