Chapter 52
When we were at the H City base, we did look for healing people with special abilities, but most of the time, they didn't want to waste their abilities on these minor ailments. Even when Professor Zhao went to seek help with crystal cores and food that could be used for trading, the healing people were unwilling to move.
After a few visits, Professor Zhao understood. It was not that the other party was unwilling to treat the patient, but that he could not cure such a minor injury. He did not want to ruin his reputation, nor did he want to take her food for free, so he just left it alone.
But now, although Miss Fu's abilities are a bit strange, except for the plant-related abilities, all others need to be used in the exposed field. But in any case, she can be cured inside and out, even if it is only temporary and can only last for a few days, it will be a very refreshing few days.
Professor Zhao looked at Fu Erdie. This time, he really wanted to prove his worth and stay with Fu Erdie.
So she said, "Pan Feizhou has gone to install the wires. Once he has finished dismantling them, and adding some existing materials, we should be able to make a telegraph. If you allow me to continue to stay in your territory, I can make the telegraph before dark today."
Fu Erdie was surprised: "The road is about to be cleared. It will be very bumpy if we continue on the road. Do we want to do it?"
Professor Zhao nodded: "I will prove my worth."
"Thank you. That's a bother to you." Fu Erdie did not hesitate and immediately asked Professor Zhao what specific forms of metal he needed. After all, the telegraph machines he saw on TV all had boxes, not just circuit boards.
These boxes not only have the function of fixing and protecting, but also have some anti-interference devices.
Professor Zhao understood and immediately drew some three-view drawings, marked various sizes, and handed them to Fu Erdie, who then went to Sang Wenhao to get such metal boxes and metal sheets. Five minutes later, all the necessary materials and metal boxes were ready, the road was reopened, and everyone set out again.
There are two vehicles on the road now. One is a minibus carrying the team's few remaining supplies. They have to keep an eye on the location of gas stations on the road and keep trying to grab gasoline.
One of them was the electric car driven by Sang Wenhao. Sang Wenhao sat in the driver's seat, and Fu Erdie sat in the passenger seat. On the roof of the electric car was the box car where the house was located. Inside sat Cao Bingqing and Fu Chenghong, a couple, as well as Zhao Shansi and Zhuang Licheng, who worked on the telegraph together.
That night, when they arrived at another congested section of road and were planning to set up camp on the flat ground beside the highway, Professor Zhao and his colleague made a telegraph machine.
8:00 to 8:30 p.m. is the time agreed upon by all bases for sending and receiving telegrams. They just happened to have made it, debugged it to the agreed frequency, and received the telegram information being sent out by City D.
The sharp but familiar sound of the telegraph came from spy movies and anti-Japanese war movies, and everyone cheered! Even Fu Chenghong was very excited! He and his wife actually witnessed the production and use of a telegraph machine from the beginning! Who would believe it if they told others? !
He is also a witness who combines television, history and reality! Cao Bingqing wanted to cry even more.
D City Base... Her mother is there... I don't know if she is okay now? Has she suffered a lot? I don't know if her old age diseases that require medication have been treated...
A telegraph actually sends signals of a specific frequency, which are then converted through electrical codes to obtain the corresponding information.
After the sender and receiver agree on the time and frequency, they can send messages using codes of varying lengths.
In spy dramas, the code-breaking plot usually involves finding the enemy's frequency, adjusting to the same frequency, receiving the enemy's information, and then trying to find the pattern of information translation. Once the pattern is found, the code is broken.
Now there is no need to decipher, everyone uses Morse code. It is like speaking in a public channel, anyone who comes to this channel can see the messages in this channel and can also reply in this channel.
Therefore, the information sent by City D was not actually sent to a specific base, but rather a message seeking to purchase food was repeatedly sent on its own channel.
[We have a lot of crystal cores, continue to trade, long-term trading, come quickly! Or leave your address and we will go! ]
Fu Erdie: “…”
I always feel that the telegraph machine that I imagined to be high-end, classy and classy has become extremely down-to-earth.
Professor Zhao and Zhuang Licheng were obviously not surprised by this. They adjusted the telegraph to other channels, and then heard some news from other channels, interspersed with the news from D City [We have a lot of crystal cores, continue trading...]
Fu Erdie: “…”
Sang Wenhao: “…”
There were still traces of tears from excitement on Cao Bingqing's face, but now she could hardly cry anymore.
"If we need food, we can exchange it for food." Fu Erdie said, "Professor Zhao, you disguised yourself as a base and said that your base is helping someone find their relatives. I want to ask if the relatives are in the base in City D. If so, how much reward is appropriate to take to pick them up?"
Professor Zhao did as he was told and returned to the channel of the base in City D to send a telegram while the other party was refreshing the screen.
The other party responded quickly. Professor Zhao translated and relayed, "One person will receive one year's worth of food as a thank you gift. Half of the year's worth is the food consumed in the last half year of the apocalypse. The other half of the year's worth is the thank you fee for the base's shelter."
If each person needs two kilograms of food per day, then for 365 days a year, that's 730 kilograms of food. Fu Erdie needs 2,190 kilograms to take her grandmother, aunt, and cousin out.
It seemed like a lot, but Fu Erdie breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the base's request is normal and not too much. Currently, the plants in the community produce about 30 kilograms of food every day.
But this is when I am leisurely and have no motivation, and I just make a fruit out of boredom.
Take potato seedlings for example. If you don't take care of them, they may not produce a single potato for several days. But if you want to eat potatoes and tell them, they will lay several potatoes the size of footballs, just like a chicken laying eggs.
Over the past half month, the potato seedlings have been corroding and absorbing a lot of zombies and other garbage while moving. The potatoes it can produce are still the size of a football, but they are heavier.
Fu Erdie asked it to try out the weight of the potatoes produced in an unconstrained state. He shook it in his hand and found that it weighed at least 7 or 8 kilograms, not 10 kilograms.
If Fu Erdie uses his supernatural power on it, it can instantly increase the vitality and yield of the potato seedlings, and the potatoes will grow one after another just like using supernatural power. As long as the energy of Fu Erdie and the potato seedlings is not used up by pushing and pulling, the potato seedlings can continue to grow.
Just a little tired.
Fu Erdie thought that if potato sprouts produced more than 20 potatoes a day, that would be more than 200 kilograms.
When I get back to the community, I finish squeezing the potato seedlings, then go to squeezing millet, cabbage, tomatoes, watermelons...
In short, as long as your supernatural powers are not completely exhausted, repeat the process of squeezing, recovery, squeezing, recovery, squeezing, and recovery, and soon you will have a lot of vegetables, fruits, and grains.
Is 2,000 kilograms a lot? Yes, it is.
But it only takes two days to squeeze it out, so it's not a big deal! In fact, among all the crops, only potatoes are the easiest to store. Even if they leave the house, they can be kept for a long time without going bad. Other crops such as cabbage, water spinach, and kohlrabi basically need to be eaten within a few days after being taken out of the house and sent to the base in City D.
But there is no need to worry. There are 20,000 people in the D City base, and there is no telling how many of them are looking forward to eating fresh vegetables. They can definitely be consumed on the same day. Fu Erdie only needs to deliver enough food.
I just don’t know if the other side will let them go easily after seeing how easily they take out so much food.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
So, I still have to do both. I give the thank you gift and I also keep in touch with my grandmother secretly.
After thinking this through, Fu Erdie pulled the potato sprouts and forced out five ten-pound potatoes that night.
The more she consumed her supernatural powers, the more energy the potato sprouts consumed. She felt her body was hollowed out and turned into a potato sprout without a soul.
Fu Erdie suggested sleeping with the potato seedlings in her arms, and then helping them recover their energy. This time it was purely for recovery, and no potatoes would be produced.
However, the potato seedling has learned its lesson! Don’t think it doesn’t know! The bad director just wants to fatten it up and kill it tomorrow! No!!!!!!!!! Fu Erdie was very sorry that she had to sleep with Sang Wenhao that night.
It’s strange to say, but this method of automatically using supernatural powers to restore energy after falling asleep only works on Sang Wenhao, and has no effect on the house, potato seedlings, and dandelions.
That is, her supernatural power would only flow when she was conscious and consciously pushed and pulled. When she gradually fell asleep and no longer consciously guided the supernatural power to push and pull, the supernatural power would gradually stop and would not continue to move on its own.
This is so strange. Could it be that it only works on humans? Fu Erdie plans to find Cen Xiyang and try it after returning.
Cen Xiyang, who was far away in the community, sneezed for some reason.
"It looks like the weather is getting cold again. I need to put on more clothes tomorrow."
In mid-December, Fu Erdie finally returned to Senyu Community after being away for more than half a month! She returned to this familiar community with her parents and new friends.
Needless to say, the new friends were shocked by the greenery and freshness of the community. Fu Erdie and Cen Xiyang also hugged each other to celebrate their safe return.
Both Cao Bingqing and Fu Chenghong knew Cen Xiyang and often invited him to their home for dinner. They were very happy at this moment.
Cao Bingqing asked in a low voice: "Your parents..."
Cen Xiyang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I haven't been in touch since the end of the world, and I don't know the situation now. My superpowers are not strong, I can only fight ordinary zombies, and it's very dangerous to go out alone. After Butterfly finds grandma, we will go to find my parents together."
Cao Bingqing felt a little uncomfortable.
My daughter and classmate Sang are indeed a good match, and they are safe when traveling far away. But after they were able to go out, they would first look for the couple and their grandmother, and then the family of their good friends, based on how close they were. In terms of looking for people, let alone others, the couple themselves were almost washed away by the flood.
In this situation, I really can't take care of other people for the time being.
Cao Bingqing felt very upset and could only say, "Good boy, thank you for your understanding."
"It's not a question of understanding or not." Cen Xiyang shook his head. "Uncle, aunt, and grandma, you are all my relatives. Your lives are very important. I am very happy that you can come back safely, really. I have no idea about my parents. They may be at home, at the company, on the road, hiding somewhere, or..."
Cen Xiyang calmed down and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go home and have a good meal to celebrate!"
After the two cars found a place to park, Sang Wenhao once again controlled the box truck to transform, from a box into a very large flat surface with locked windows, which could allow everyone including potatoes to stand on it, and then rise to the 16th floor.
After entering from the large living room balcony at 16-8, the white light of the house returned, and the entire 16th floor lit up in an instant as if it were electrified.
No, it's not just the 16th floor! Fu Erdie seemed to have sensed something, so she jumped onto the metal box still flying outside the balcony and looked at Building No. 7 from outside the balcony.
In an instant, her eyes lit up.
